Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a depalletizing and stacking device, in particular to a depalletizing and stacking device and method for full-grade standard cigarettes. Background Art

[0002] At present, promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy has become an important strategic measure for all walks of life to achieve high-quality economic development.

[0003] As an important part of the real economy, the tobacco industry is in such a historic window period. Under the guidance of the new development concept, it is shouldering its responsibilities and making greater contributions. So, how will they use digital power to build a solid foundation for corporate development, how will they open the "digital door" in marketing, smart manufacturing and other fields, how will they embrace the new data-driven model, and embark on a digital path with Chinese characteristics and tobacco characteristics?

[0004] With the increase in the cigarette sales market and the number of brands, new opportunities and challenges have been brought to the entire cigarette logistics and distribution technology, which requires the gradual improvement of the sorting technology of the cigarette logistics and distribution system, that is, the compatibility, stability and efficiency of the sorting system equipment have been put forward. The storage and palletizing of cigarettes and the depalletizing of cigarettes out of the warehouse play the role of "vanguard" in the entire cigarette distribution system. Only when the "vanguard" battle is won can the foundation be laid for the subsequent work. With the increase in the cigarette sales market and the number of brands, especially the increase in non-standard cigarette brands, the difficulty and work intensity of manual palletizing have increased, and it cannot keep up with the work rhythm of the entire system. This has put forward higher requirements for the compatibility, degree of automation and efficiency of the depalletizing and palletizing equipment of cigarettes. At present, the country is vigorously promoting the automated sorting of cigarette distribution logistics, and this model of automated depalletizing and palletizing of all-standard cigarettes has come into being.

[0005] At present, there are many kinds of cigarette stacking and depalletizing modes in the domestic cigarette logistics sorting and distribution centers, mainly including automatic stacking and depalletizing of standard cigarettes / class-standard cigarettes / slim cigarettes / medium cigarettes + semi-automatic stacking and depalletizing of special-shaped cigarettes, automatic stacking and depalletizing of standard cigarettes / class-standard cigarettes + semi-automatic stacking and depalletizing of slim cigarettes / medium cigarettes / special-shaped cigarettes, automatic stacking and depalletizing of standard cigarettes / class-standard cigarettes + manual stacking and depalletizing of slim cigarettes / medium cigarettes / special-shaped cigarettes, semi-automatic stacking and depalletizing of standard cigarettes / class-standard cigarettes / slim cigarettes / medium cigarettes / special-shaped cigarettes , semi-automatic coding and destacking of standard cigarettes / classified cigarettes + manual coding and destacking of slim cigarettes / medium cigarettes / special-shaped cigarettes, manual coding and destacking of standard cigarettes / classified cigarettes / slim cigarettes / medium cigarettes / special-shaped cigarettes, the above-mentioned coding and destacking modes of cigarettes are still very dependent on manual or manually operated mechanical equipment to a certain extent. Due to the large amount of cigarette coding and destacking, the work intensity is high and the working hours are long under the condition of relatively low automation. Overtime in and out of the warehouse is the norm. Although various devices and equipment are added to the semi-automatic coding and destacking equipment, the compatibility of equipment is increased, and the speed of various transmission equipment is accelerated, the efficiency of cigarette in and out of the warehouse cannot be greatly improved, and a qualitative leap cannot be achieved at all. In addition, most of the current cigarette logistics sorting and distribution centers do not occupy a large area, and due to the continuous growth of business volume, changes in sales structure, and the increasing sales of special-shaped cigarettes. Tobacco sorting centers in various places are proposing technical reforms, but the state does not approve new land, so they can only be technically reformed on the spot. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection claimed is not limited to the description.

[0022] The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a full-range standard cigarette unpacking and palletizing device, comprising a plurality of rows of vertical warehouse shelves 1 forming a storage area; a stacking conveyor 2 is arranged between the plurality of rows of vertical warehouse shelves 1; a first pallet transmission device 3 is arranged at the front end of the vertical warehouse shelf 1; the front end of the first pallet transmission device 3 is directly opposite to a first buffer area composed of an array-distributed pallet power buffer device 6; the distribution position of the pallet power buffer device 6 includes a front-warehouse unpacking and palletizing joint manipulator 8; a unpacking and palletizing accumulation device 9, an unpacking and palletizing flipping device 10, an empty pallet automatic unpacking disk device 11, a transmission roller device 12, and a transplanting device 13 are arranged at the front end of the first buffer area to form an unpacking and palletizing area; in front of the unpacking and palletizing area, there is a second buffer area composed of an array-distributed pallet power buffer device 6; at the front end of the second buffer area, there are a transfer area composed of a plurality of groups of pallet transferring devices 14, a flip clamp centering device 15 and a pallet unpacking device 19; at the front end of the transfer area, there is an input area composed of a plurality of groups of telescopic conveying devices 16.

[0023] Therefore, the present invention is essentially to change the full-range standard cigarette unpacking and stacking equipment usually arranged in front of the high-rise warehouse of cigarettes to a mode of being arranged in front of and inside the warehouse, under the premise that the land occupation of the large-scale cigarette logistics sorting and distribution center remains unchanged. The full-range standard cigarette unpacking and stacking equipment is arranged in front of the warehouse, close to the unloading and storage position of the cigarettes, which can reduce the transmission distance of the cigarettes entering the warehouse and improve the efficiency of the storage and stacking. In addition, the full-range standard cigarette unpacking equipment with a relatively small sorting volume is arranged in the warehouse (generally at the end of the warehouse), mainly to unpack slim cigarettes, medium cigarettes, special-shaped cigarettes, and standard cigarettes / class standard cigarettes with a small sorting volume. Because the storage area of ​​the large-scale cigarette logistics sorting and distribution center is generally relatively large, this mode of unpacking and unpacking at both ends can effectively reduce the transmission distance of unpacking and unpacking of cigarettes, and effectively improve the unpacking efficiency of cigarettes leaving the warehouse. This layout method of unpacking and palletizing by the sorting volume of cigarette pieces can greatly improve the efficiency of unpacking and palletizing, and at the same time saves the floor space of the equipment. The unpacking and palletizing of cigarette pieces in front of the warehouse and the unpacking and palletizing in the warehouse use different devices and equipment according to the size of the space. Under the premise of meeting the efficiency of the entire sorting system, it can greatly reduce the floor space of the equipment and save investment costs, and can greatly realize the automation of unpacking and palletizing of all kinds of standard cigarette pieces, which lays a certain technical foundation for promoting the comprehensive realization of unpacking and palletizing of all kinds of standard cigarette pieces.

[0024] The second embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment, mainly in that a transport area is arranged around the first buffer area and the depalletizing and stacking area, and an automatic pallet transport device 5 is arranged in the transport area.

[0025] Furthermore, the transport area has three transport lanes between the first buffer area and the storage area, and between the palletizing area and the second buffer area, and three groups of automatic pallet transport devices 5 are respectively placed in one of the transport lanes in a non-overlapping manner.

[0026] Furthermore, in the first buffer and the second buffer, the pallet power buffer device 6 is arranged around the front-of-warehouse palletizing joint robot 8.

[0027] Furthermore, the telescopic conveying device 16 is divided into four groups, forming four inputs.

[0028] The third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment, mainly in that a first pallet lifting device 4 is further installed at the front end of the first pallet transmission device 3 .

[0029] Furthermore, there is a manual handling area next to the handling area, in which a motorized pallet manual handling device 22 is provided, and the motorized pallet manual handling device 22 is connected and installed with a second pallet lifting device 21 and a second pallet transmission device 20 .

[0030] Furthermore, an in-warehouse empty pallet stacking device 23 is installed at the rear end of the vertical warehouse shelf 1, and an in-warehouse destacking and stacking system supporting steel structure 26 is arranged next to the in-warehouse empty pallet stacking device 23, and an in-warehouse destacking and stacking system supporting steel structure 26 is installed with an in-warehouse destacking truss manipulator 25 and an in-warehouse destacking flipping transmission device 24.

[0031] Furthermore, there is also a pallet unpowered buffer device 7 in the first buffer area for cooperating with the palletizing joint robot 8 in front of the warehouse.

[0032] Furthermore, a belt conveyor 17 and a swing-arm belt conveyor 18 are installed between the terminal ends of the multiple sets of telescopic conveying devices 16 .

[0033] The stacking and depalletizing equipment for all-standard cigarettes is arranged in a limited space. The depalletizing equipment for all-standard cigarettes is arranged in front of the warehouse, close to the unloading and warehousing position of the cigarettes, which can greatly improve the stacking and warehousing efficiency of the cigarettes. The depalletizing equipment for all-standard cigarettes with a relatively small sorting volume is arranged in the warehouse (generally at the end of the warehouse), and is mainly used to depalletize slim cigarettes, medium cigarettes, special-shaped cigarettes, and standard cigarettes / class cigarettes with a small sorting volume. This depalletizing device is arranged on the shelf at the end of the cigarette stacking storage system, and its frame and the cigarette stacking shelf are integrated, occupying a small space on the cigarette stacking shelf, and basically has no effect on the storage volume of cigarette stacks in the entire warehouse area, does not occupy the installation position of other equipment, and has a small operating radius required during operation, and does not affect the storage of cigarette stacks around the frame during operation. Furthermore, the investment in the depalletizing equipment in the warehouse is relatively small compared to the depalletizing and depalletizing equipment in front of the warehouse, and its depalletizing efficiency can meet the sorting requirements of the entire system.

[0034] The fourth embodiment of the present invention is combined with the above embodiment, specifically as follows Figures 1 to 7As shown, it operates in the following manner: one telescopic conveying device 16 is used for palletizing by the warehouse front stacking and unloading joint manipulator 8 of one stacking port, and it can also be used for palletizing by the warehouse front stacking and unloading joint manipulator 8 of multiple stacking ports, or multiple telescopic conveying devices 16 are used for palletizing by the warehouse front stacking and unloading joint manipulator 8 of one stacking port;

[0035] 1) Palletizing and warehousing process :The automatic pallet handling device 5, through the instructions of the scheduling system, transports the stack pallets transmitted from the vertical warehouse to the pallet dismantling device 19 in the shortest and optimal (avoiding congestion) path planned by the scheduling system, which dismantles the stack pallets (each stack has 10 pallets) as single pallets (when each stack of pallets is dismantled, the automatic pallet handling device 5 will receive instructions to transport new stack pallets to continue dismantling and supply all-standard parts for dismantling, and the warehouse front dismantling and stacking joint manipulator 8 for palletizing), and after the empty pallet is transported to the designated stacking position through the cooperation of the pallet transfer device 14, the first pallet transmission device 3, and the pallet power buffer device 6, the warehouse front dismantling and stacking joint manipulator 8 executes the stacking instruction, and the stacking and stacking accumulation device 9 , palletizing and unpalletizing flip device 10, and transfer device 13 cooperate with palletizing. Fine-marked cigarettes / medium-sized cigarettes / special-shaped cigarettes are palletized through transmission roller device 12 and transfer device 13. The palletizing and unpalletizing joint manipulator 8 in front of the warehouse determines the type of palletizing according to the scanning code information of the cigarette pieces (the palletizing shape of each cigarette is pre-entered into the palletizing manipulator execution system). After the palletizing station is completed, the pallet automatic handling device 5 transports the palletized pallet to the first pallet transmission device 3 and the first pallet lifting device 4 in the shortest and optimal (avoiding congestion) path planned by the scheduling system through the pallet power buffer device 6. After the first pallet lifting device 4 cooperates with the work, the stacking conveyor 2 places the pallet to the designated shelf position in the warehouse, and the palletizing and warehousing process is completed. The (10) station opening in the figure is a manual flexible working opening, which can be assigned to palletizing or unpalletizing according to the actual situation on site. The arrangement of manual flexible unpalletizing and palletizing points is mainly considered to take into account that when there is a fault or maintenance in the (six), (seven), (eight), and (nine) fully automatic palletizing stations, temporary replacement of their work by manual labor does not affect the palletizing efficiency of the entire system. The manipulator at station (5) is a fully automatic flexible station that can automatically stack and depalletize cigarettes. It is mainly used to depalletize relatively small quantities of special-shaped cigarettes in front of the warehouse, and can assist in depalletizing stations (1), (2), (3), and (4) and palletizing stations (6), (7), (8), and (9) according to the control system. This flexible design can give full play to the maximum efficiency of the system equipment.

[0036] 2) Depalletizing process before delivery (before storage)Stations (1), (2), (3) and (4) are depalletizing stations before the warehouse (these four stations are mainly used to depalletize standard cigarettes and similar standard cigarettes). When the system issues a depalletizing instruction for a certain type of cigarette, the stacking conveyor 2 takes the cigarette fork off the stack from the cigarette cargo position and transmits it to the first pallet transmission device 3. The first pallet lifting device 4 cooperates with the pallet automatic handling device 5 to transport the cigarette to the pallet unpowered buffer device 7 of one of the depalletizing stations (1), (2), (3) and (4) through the shortest and optimal (to avoid congestion) path planned by its scheduling system. After the depalletizing joint manipulator 8 in front of the warehouse performs the depalletizing task, it communicates with the depalletizing flipping device 10 and the transmission device 11 to transfer the cigarette to the depalletizing station. After the roller device 12, the transplanting device 13, the belt conveyor 17 and the like work in coordination, the unstacking cigarette pieces are input into the cigarette piece storage, and the unstacking empty pallet is transported to the empty pallet automatic unstacking and coding device 11 by the pallet automatic transport device 5 to perform the stacking task. When the number of stacked pallets (10) is reached, the dispatching system issues an instruction, and the pallet automatic transport device 5 automatically transports the stacked pallet to the first pallet transmission device 3 and the first pallet lifting device 4 in the shortest and optimal (avoiding congestion) path planned by the dispatching system. After the coordination, the stacking conveyor 2 forks the stacked pallet and transports it to the designated cargo position of the designated stacked pallet in the warehouse, and the relevant information data is automatically handed over;

[0037] 3) Depalletizing and outbound delivery process (inside the warehouse) : Workstations (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17) and (18) are for depalletizing in the warehouse (these eight workstations are mainly for depalletizing thin cigarettes, medium cigarettes, special-shaped cigarettes, and standard cigarettes / class standard cigarettes with small sorting quantities). When the system issues a depalletizing instruction for a certain type of cigarette, the stacking conveyor 2 takes down the cigarette fork from the cigarette stacking position and transmits it to the first pallet transmission device 3, and cooperates with the depalletizing truss manipulator 25 (in the warehouse), the depalletizing empty pallet stacking device 23 in the warehouse, the depalletizing flip transmission device 24 (in the warehouse), the transplanting device 13, the transmission roller device 12, etc. to transmit the cigarette pieces to the cigarette piece storage warehouse, and the relevant information data is automatically transferred;

[0038] 4) Cross-docking process Workstations (five) and (ten) can also realize the cross-warehouse depalletizing function, that is, the stacked cigarettes do not need to be put into the vertical warehouse and then depalletized and taken out of the warehouse into the piece cigarette storage after scheduling. The depalletizing and storage of piece cigarettes can be performed directly at this functional position. This cross-warehouse function simplifies the system workflow to a certain extent and improves the system efficiency.

[0039] When industrial whole pallet of cigarettes is transported or scattered pieces of cigarettes are put into a whole pallet, the mobile pallet manual handling device 22 (mobile), the second pallet lifting device 21, the pallet transfer device 14, the second pallet transmission device 20, and the pallet power buffer device 6 can work together, and then the whole pallet of cigarettes can be transported to (five) and (ten) by the shortest and optimal (avoiding congestion) path planned by the dispatching system through the automatic pallet handling device 5 to execute the cross-warehouse depalletizing instruction and the relevant information data can be automatically handed over;

[0040] 5) Whole Pallet Warehousing Process : In order to improve the efficiency of logistics, the cigarette industrial factory with high degree of automation at present can take the form of pallet transportation when cigarettes come, so that loading and unloading efficiency can be improved to a great extent. After the unloading of the pile of cigarette pallets, after the coordination of the work such as the motorized pallet manual handling device 22 (motorized), the second pallet lifting device 21, the pallet transfer device 14, the second pallet transmission device 20, the pallet automatic handling device 5 (with the shortest and optimal path planned by the dispatching system to avoid congestion), the pallet power buffer device 6, etc., the stacking conveyor 2 forks the pile of cigarettes and places them on the shelf position specified in the storehouse, and the relevant information data is automatically handed over.

[0041] Therefore, the present invention is mainly applied to cigarette logistics and has the following advantages:

[0042] 1) The unloading and transporting stations of cigarettes adopt flexible docking with the palletizing stations, that is, one unloading station supplies one palletizing station, or one unloading station supplies multiple palletizing stations, or multiple unloading stations supply one palletizing station. This flexible docking method can make better use of equipment and improve the working efficiency of the system. Compared with the previous mode of one unloading station supplying one palletizing station, this avoids the situation that when the telescopic conveying device 16 of a certain station or the palletizing joint manipulator 8 in front of the warehouse fails, the station cannot work and affects the working efficiency of the whole system;

[0043] 2) The positions of the depalletizing and stacking equipment are arranged according to the sorting volume of each type of cigarette in the sorting system, and the depalletizing equipment for standard cigarettes and quasi-standard cigarettes with large sorting volume is placed in front of the warehouse. The installation space in front of the warehouse is more spacious than that in the warehouse, and the depalletizing and stacking joint manipulator 8 in front of the warehouse has high depalletizing efficiency and a large working radius. In this way, a pallet unpowered buffer device 7 can be arranged around it to store the pallets of stacked cigarettes waiting to be shipped out, thereby improving the efficiency of stacked cigarettes shipping out of the warehouse. This has achieved the goal of putting the right equipment in the right position to give full play to its advantages. The thin cigarettes, medium cigarettes, special-shaped cigarettes, and standard cigarettes / classified cigarettes with small sorting quantities are placed in the warehouse for depalletizing. First of all, considering that the storage area of ​​the cigarette stacking storage in the large-scale cigarette logistics sorting and distribution center is relatively large, this mode of arranging the depalletizing equipment at both ends can effectively reduce the transmission distance of the cigarette stacking out of the warehouse, which also improves the efficiency of the cigarette stacking out of the warehouse to a certain extent. The depalletizing truss manipulator 25 in the warehouse is used to directly depalletize the cigarette stacks in the warehouse, and then cooperate with the depalletizing turning transmission device 24, the transplanting device 13, the transmission roller device 12 and other devices in the warehouse to transport the cigarette pieces to the cigarette piece storage warehouse. The empty pallets after depalletizing are stacked on the spot through the empty pallet stacking device 23 in the warehouse, and then they are forked and transported by the stacking conveyor 2 to the specified position on the shelf in the warehouse. Although the depalletizing truss manipulator 25 in the warehouse is less efficient than the depalletizing joint manipulator 8 in front of the warehouse, this depalletizing truss manipulator 25 in the warehouse is The distance from the unstacking position to the unstacking position of the unstacking cigarettes is shorter than the unstacking position in front of the warehouse, which saves time to a certain extent, and the unstacking cigarettes enter the transmission roller device 12, the belt conveyor 17 and other devices in advance, which increases the buffer capacity of the unstacking cigarettes invisibly, and the efficiency of the unstacking system of the whole warehouse is also improved. On the whole, the efficiency of the unstacking system in this warehouse is enough to meet the requirements of the whole sorting system, and the unstacking truss manipulator 25 in the warehouse, the unstacking empty pallet stacking device 23 in the warehouse, the unstacking flip transmission device 24 in the warehouse and other equipment are very suitable for unstacking cigarettes in the warehouse where the space is not very large, freeing up a certain installation and operation space for other systems, and the single-station equipment investment of the unstacking truss manipulator 25 in the warehouse is lower than the unstacking joint manipulator 8 in front of the warehouse, which can effectively save the capital investment;

[0044] 3) The cigarette stacks and pallets (empty pallets) are dispatched by the cigarette stack (pallet) automatic handling device 5 in the shortest and optimal (avoiding congestion) path planned by the dispatching system, avoiding manual participation, reducing work intensity and errors, and most importantly, the handling efficiency is improved by about 30% compared with the manual handling equipment, and the relevant information data is automatically handed over, which improves the automation of the system;

[0045] 4) Under the premise of not affecting the walking route of the pallet automatic handling device 5, a plurality of fixed pallet (pallet) unpowered buffer devices 7 are arranged around the joint manipulator 8 for pallet removal and pallet removal in front of the warehouse, so as to increase the buffer capacity of the pallet removal. This will not affect the efficiency of the entire dispatching system when a certain pallet automatic handling device 5 fails. Moreover, this fixed pallet unpowered buffer device 7 is better than the conventional pallet automatic handling device 5 in which the pallet unpowered buffer device 7 is carried together, so as to avoid the pallet automatic handling device 5 being in a state of always working under load, thereby extending its working life.

[0046] 5) When industrial whole pallets of cigarettes are delivered, the automatic data handover mode is adopted for storage, which reduces manual participation, reduces labor intensity, and reduces the probability of errors;

[0047] 6) Arrange a cross-warehouse depalletizing function station. The stacked cigarettes do not need to be put into the vertical warehouse and then dispatched to be depalletized and sent out to the piece cigarette storage. The depalletizing and storage of the stacked cigarettes can be performed directly at this function station. This cross-warehouse function simplifies the system workflow to a certain extent and improves the system efficiency.

[0048] 7) Arrange flexible dismantling and palletizing stations, and change the function of a certain station according to the actual working status of the system to achieve system function replacement. To a certain extent, it can improve the dismantling and palletizing efficiency of the system when the system is dismantling or palletizing in a certain period of time;

[0049] 8) The palletizing and depalletizing equipment has strong compatibility and a high degree of automation, and the depalletizing and palletizing efficiency is greater than the requirements of the entire sorting system.
