Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of multi-station fully automated palletizing technology, and in particular discloses a multi-station fully automated palletizing collaborative system. Background Technology

[0002] Palletizers, as crucial equipment in modern warehousing and logistics systems, primarily function to automatically stack cartons already packed in containers onto pallets or stacks in a specific arrangement, facilitating subsequent forklift transport and warehouse storage. However, some automated palletizing systems can only perform palletizing operations at a single workstation. This means the system can only process materials at one workstation at a time, failing to meet the needs of multiple workstations operating simultaneously. Furthermore, some automated palletizing systems have outdated overall designs, occupying a large area and hindering efficient operation within limited spaces. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-station fully automated palletizing collaboration system.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a multi-station fully automated palletizing collaborative system, comprising a palletizing robot, a material palletizing platform, and a material production line; the material palletizing platform is provided in multiple sets, which are arranged on the side of the palletizing robot. The palletizing robot includes a frame and a robotic arm mounted on the frame. The robotic arm is used to grasp the externally packaged materials from the material production line and place them sequentially onto the material palletizing platform; the distance between the material palletizing platforms does not exceed the movement range of the robotic arm of the palletizing robot.

[0005] The palletizing robot also includes a suction component located at the free end of the robotic arm. The suction component includes a suction plate. A vacuum generator is provided inside the frame to provide negative pressure to the suction plate. The vacuum generator is connected to the suction plate via an air pipe and triggers the generation of negative pressure between the suction plate and the material to suck up the material. The frame also includes a lifting platform and a lifting drive. An accommodating space is provided inside the frame, and the lifting platform and the lifting drive are housed in the accommodating space. The end of the robotic arm away from the suction plate is mounted on the lifting platform. The lifting drive drives the lifting platform to move up and down, thereby moving the robotic arm up and down to complete the palletizing work at different heights.

[0006] The robotic arm includes a rotating assembly comprising a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, a third rotating shaft, a fourth rotating shaft, a fifth rotating shaft, a sixth rotating shaft, a seventh rotating shaft, a first robotic arm, and a second robotic arm. The first rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on a lifting platform. The second and third rotating shafts are respectively located at both ends of the first robotic arm and are rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft. The fourth and fifth rotating shafts are respectively located at both ends of the second robotic arm and are rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft. The fifth rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the sixth rotating shaft. The sixth rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the seventh rotating shaft. The seventh rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a suction assembly. The robotic arm, through the rotation of the rotating assembly, places the already packaged external materials on the production line onto material stacking platforms in different orientations.

[0007] The palletizing robot also includes sensors mounted on the first and second arms and a control center mounted on the frame. The control center is electrically connected to the sensors and is used to receive tilt signals detected by the sensors on the first and second arms and control the robot to move in the opposite direction of its conveying direction or stop moving.

[0008] The material production line includes an unpacking mechanism, a packing mechanism, and a sealing mechanism arranged sequentially in the same direction. The sealing mechanism is located at one end near the palletizing robot. The sealing mechanism includes a support frame, a sliding rail on the support frame, a sealing assembly, and a labeling mechanism. The sealing assembly and the labeling mechanism are arranged along the length of the support frame. The packed external materials are conveyed to the sliding rail on the sealing mechanism via the packing mechanism. The sliding rail carries the packed external materials to the bottom of the sealing assembly for sealing and then conveys the sealed external materials to the bottom of the labeling mechanism for labeling.

[0009] The support frame is equipped with a stop at one end near the palletizing robot. The stop is used to block external materials that have been sealed and labeled and are transported via the sliding track.

[0010] The unpacking mechanism includes a base, a folding mechanism and a gluing mechanism mounted on the base, and an unpacking auxiliary mechanism mounted on the side of the base. The unpacking auxiliary mechanism includes an operating table and a robotic arm mounted on the operating table. The end of the robotic arm away from the operating table is equipped with an unpacking execution mechanism. The unpacking execution mechanism is used to pick up the folded carton and move it to the folding mechanism for folding. After folding, the robotic arm moves the folded carton toward the gluing mechanism. The gluing mechanism applies glue to the bottom of the carton to complete the bottom sealing action. After that, the robotic arm moves the carton to the packing mechanism to wait for packing.

[0011] The packing mechanism includes a frame, a conveyor belt, a loading platform, a loading execution mechanism, and a packing auxiliary mechanism mounted on the frame. The conveyor belt is arranged along the length of the material production line. The loading platform includes a material panel, a material conveyor belt on one side of the material panel, a pushing mechanism on one side of the material conveyor belt, and a servo motor that drives the pushing mechanism to reciprocate. External materials are conveyed to one end near the pushing mechanism via the material conveyor belt. The servo motor drives the pushing mechanism to reciprocate and load the external materials placed on the material conveyor belt onto the material panel. The material panel includes a first panel for placing external materials, a limiting mechanism on the side of the first panel, and a fixed plate arranged parallel to the limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting plate and a telescopic motor for driving the limiting plate to reciprocate. External materials are pushed onto the first panel via the pushing mechanism. The telescopic motor drives the limiting plate to move towards the fixed plate to limit the external materials.

[0012] The feeding mechanism includes a movable slide rail mounted on the frame, a sliding rod slidably mounted on the movable slide rail, and a movable motor that drives the sliding rod to reciprocate. The end of the sliding rod away from the movable slide rail is provided with a picking-up part. The sliding rod is driven by the movable motor to pick up the external material placed on the feeding platform and move it to the boxing auxiliary mechanism for material boxing. The conveyor belt moves the boxed material to the sealing mechanism for the next step.

[0013] The control center includes an intelligent scheduling module. The intelligent scheduling module collects and analyzes production data in real time based on the material transmission speed of the material production line and the area occupied by the material palletizing platform. The intelligent scheduling module forms a scheduling strategy based on the real-time data and generates scheduling instructions to send to the palletizing robot to optimize production efficiency.

[0014] The fully automated palletizing collaborative system includes a control center, and the material palletizing platform includes a positioning sensor and a material identification device. The positioning sensor and material identification device of the material palletizing platform, as well as the control center of the palletizing robot, are all connected to the control center via a wireless transmission protocol. The positioning sensor is used to identify the placement position of the material palletizing platform, and the material identification device is used to identify material parameters. The positioning sensor and the material identification device transmit the identification data to the control center. The control center processes the identification data and generates instructions, which are then sent to the control center of the palletizing robot. The palletizing robot executes the corresponding palletizing operation according to the instructions.

[0015] A multi-station fully automated palletizing collaborative system mainly consists of a palletizing robot, a material palletizing platform, and a material production line. The material palletizing platforms are distributed around the palletizing robot, facilitating flexible multi-position palletizing after the robot grasps the material. The palletizing robot includes a robotic arm, a suction component, a lifting platform, and a control center. The robotic arm is responsible for transferring packaged materials from the production line to the palletizing positions. The arrangement of multiple palletizing positions around the palletizing robot enables it to efficiently complete multi-directional palletizing tasks, improving palletizing efficiency and flexibility. The suction component design ensures firm adhesion to the material, preventing material slippage or inaccurate positioning during handling and palletizing, thus guaranteeing stability. The robotic arm is designed with a multi-axis rotating structure, including seven axes and two arms; this multi-axis structure provides the robotic arm with high degrees of freedom of movement, meeting multi-directional palletizing requirements, enhancing material coverage, and improving the robotic arm's flexibility. Sensors are installed on the first and second arms to detect the robotic arm's tilt status. The control center receives sensor signals and adjusts the robot's movement direction in real time to achieve precise palletizing control and collision protection. The linkage design between the sensors and the control center enables the robot to have an automatic correction function, improving the safety and stability of operation and avoiding misoperation caused by tilting or exceeding limits.

[0016] The material production line includes unpacking, packing, and sealing mechanisms. These modules are sequentially arranged along the production line to complete the automated unpacking, packing, sealing, and labeling process. The sealing mechanism has a built-in sliding rail that guides the packed materials through the sealing and labeling process, and then transports them to a palletizing robot for palletizing. The continuous automated operation of the material production line reduces manual intervention and waiting time, effectively improving the overall operational efficiency of the production line. The material production line adopts a linear layout, making the entire system more compact and reducing the factory floor space required. This design not only helps optimize space utilization but also shortens the material transfer path from unpacking, packing, sealing to palletizing, improving production efficiency. At the same time, the linear layout facilitates the sequential operation of each module, reducing material waiting time and transfer frequency on the production line, further reducing energy consumption in the production process.

[0017] The intelligent scheduling module within the control center dynamically optimizes scheduling strategies by analyzing material production speed and palletizing position occupancy. It adjusts the robot's palletizing path and material handling frequency based on real-time production data, thereby optimizing overall production efficiency. This real-time adjustment of the production rhythm effectively alleviates production bottlenecks caused by uneven production speed or palletizing position occupancy, improving production line utilization. In a further embodiment, the system also includes a control center, with positioning sensors and material identification devices installed on the material palletizing platforms. The positioning sensors acquire material location data, and the material identification devices acquire material characteristic data. This information is wirelessly transmitted to the control center, enabling it to dynamically adjust palletizing tasks based on material parameters. Through the interaction between the control center and the identification devices, intelligent material identification and position adjustment are achieved, improving the accuracy and efficiency of material management and palletizing.

[0018] Furthermore, fault sensors are installed on the robotic arm, the suction assembly, and the lifting drive. The control center is electrically connected to the fault sensors. When a fault occurs, the control center automatically issues an alarm signal and triggers the palletizing robot to pause operation and perform maintenance procedures.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is equipped with a mounting bracket and a retractable support arm. The mounting bracket has an accommodating space within which the retractable support arm is housed. The extension length of the retractable support arm can be adjusted according to the weight of the external material: when the external material is heavy, the retractable support arm can be extended to a longer length to increase the support area of ​​the palletizing robot, thereby improving its stability and preventing swaying during palletizing; when the external material is light, the retractable support arm can be retracted to a shorter length to reduce the footprint and improve the flexibility of the equipment layout.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The multi-station fully automated palletizing collaborative system of this invention optimizes the palletizing process and improves production efficiency through the coordinated work of palletizing robots, material production lines, and multiple sets of material palletizing platforms. The palletizing robot adopts a flexible robotic arm design, featuring a multi-axis rotation structure, suction components, and a lifting platform, enabling it to efficiently and stably complete multi-directional palletizing tasks. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of sensors and a control center, real-time monitoring and precise control are achieved. The sequential modular design of the material production line, including functions such as unpacking, packing, and sealing, further improves the system's automation level and reduces manual intervention and operational errors. The control center, through an intelligent scheduling module, optimizes the production rhythm and scheduling strategy in real time, avoiding production bottlenecks and improving palletizing efficiency and resource utilization. Furthermore, the positioning sensors and material identification devices of the material palletizing platforms are connected to the control center, enabling intelligent material identification and position adjustment, ensuring precise operation and efficient operation of the system. The overall system enhances the automation level, flexibility, and safety of the production line, significantly optimizing production efficiency. Attached Figure Description
