Description

Technical Field

[0001] The patent of this invention relates to the field of an automated palletizing system, and relates to a shipborne automated logistics warehousing technology that realizes stacking transportation based on an RGV trolley. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, China has vigorously developed deep-sea aquaculture, and large deep-sea aquaculture platforms such as Guoxin No. 1, Shenlan No. 1, and Ningde No. 1 have been launched one after another. In the past, aquaculture was basically based on individual households, which did not pay attention to the environment. The quality of the fish raised was poor, and the environment in the offshore waters was seriously polluted. Therefore, green aquaculture and scientific aquaculture are imperative, and food must be in our own hands. However, since the deep sea is far from the coastline, the catch must be transported for at least 4 to 6 hours before it can reach the shore, which will greatly reduce the quality of the catch. Therefore, the processing system supporting the deep-sea aquaculture platform is particularly important.

[0003] In order to meet the needs of the clients, the fish catches are usually divided into up to 10 specifications by weight during the processing process, and each specification needs to be individually boxed and stacked. If manual stacking is performed, at least 5 to 6 people are required. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive for ship-borne aquatic product processing plants, but also difficult to recruit and manage additional processing crew members while spending high salaries. Therefore, ship-borne aquatic product processing plants need to be equipped with a stacking system. On board, it is difficult to avoid the problem of shaking and to achieve highly automated stacking. The output of general stacking systems and processing systems is difficult to match, so an onboard automated stacking logistics system is particularly important, which can solve the logistics and warehousing problems in deep-sea processing. Summary of the invention

[0004] Aiming at the problem of logistics and warehousing of products after processing and packaging on board, the purpose of this patent is to provide an automated palletizing system on board to solve the significant problems such as difficult palletizing and logistics management and small space on board. The working process of this palletizing system is as follows: a) Empty Pallet Deployment Before the finished boxes enter the palletizing system, the empty pallet transport trolley transports the empty pallet to the palletizing station in advance; b) Finished product box identification Before the finished boxes enter the palletizing system, the identification device at the entrance of the palletizing system identifies the characteristics of each specification of the finished box. After identification, the finished boxes are automatically transported to the corresponding specifications of the finished box grabbing and caching station through the conveyor line to wait for palletizing. c) Robotic palletizing After the finished product box is transported to the grabbing and caching position of the palletizing robot responsible for the specifications of the finished product box, the palletizing robot responsible for the grabbing and caching position grabs the finished product box to the palletizing position and palletizes it according to the set palletizing pattern; d) RGV trolley transports stacks When a stack is completed at a stacking position, the finished product stack transport trolley automatically arrives at the stacking position, receives the stack onto the trolley, and transports it to the stack sorting device; e) Empty pallet replenishment Every time the finished product stacking trolley transports a stack from a stacking position, the empty pallet transport trolley picks up an empty pallet from the automatic pallet conveyor and automatically replenishes it to the stacking position; f) Stacking The stack is first shaped before wrapping to make the stack more compact, the surface of the stack more regular, and the stack more stable after wrapping; g) Stack wrapping Seal the stack to keep it stable during transportation; h) Refrigerated turnover The finished product stacks are transferred to the turnover cold storage by forklift, which provides cold storage capacity. When shipping, the forklift transfers the stacks of products of the same specifications to a refrigerated container, realizing the process of one container for the same specifications.

[0005] Furthermore, in step a), the empty pallet transport trolley is a four-way RGV trolley, which can move on a track parallel to the finished box transport line or on a track perpendicular to the finished box transport line, and uses an electric roller to smoothly input and output empty pallets.

[0006] Furthermore, in the step a), the moving track of the empty pallet transport trolley is lower than the height of the finished box conveyor line, and the pallet transport trolley can shuttle at the bottom of the palletizing logistics system.

[0007] Furthermore, in step a), the empty pallet transport trolley will select the nearest automatic pallet delivery machine to pick up the pallet according to the production rhythm and transport it to the palletizing position that needs replenishment.

[0008] Furthermore, in the step c), a buffer position for grabbing incoming materials from the insulation box is set at each palletizing position of each specification of the palletizing system, so as to provide a certain buffer time for operations during the palletizing process.

[0009] Furthermore, in the step c), a finished product box abnormal stacking buffer position is set at the end of the finished product box conveyor line to buffer the finished product boxes that failed to be scanned by the barcode or grasped by the robot, and then the stacking operation is performed manually.

[0010] Furthermore, in the step d), after the stacking system is saturated, a finished product stacking transport trolley is used to discharge the stacking material, and the whole process is automated, occupies a small space, and the equipment maintenance is simple.

[0011] Furthermore, in the step d), the trolley for transporting the finished product stack is a bidirectional RGV trolley, which moves only on a track parallel to the finished product box conveyor line and uses an electric roller to input and output the stack.

[0012] Furthermore, in the step d), the finished product stack transporting trolley is provided with a clamping device for clamping the finished product stack to prevent the stack from falling apart during transportation from the stacking position to the stacking arrangement device.

[0013] Furthermore, in the step d), a stack buffer is provided in front of the stack sorting device, and when a stack is being sorted, the finished product stack transporting trolley transports the unsorted finished product stack to the stack buffer to wait for the stack sorting.

[0014] Furthermore, in the step e), the empty pallet transport trolley picks up the empty pallets at the automatic stacker in advance according to the production rhythm, and then follows the finished product stack transport trolley. When the finished product stack transport trolley transports the stack away from the stacking position, the empty pallet transport trolley then replenishes the empty pallets to the stacking position in time.

[0015] Furthermore, in the steps a), d) and e), the finished product stacking trolley and the empty pallet transporting trolley share a track in front of the stacking position, making the entire system space more compact.

[0016] Furthermore, in the step f), a palletizing system is provided with a palletizing device for arranging the finished product stacks to make the stacks tighter and the surface of the stacks more regular, so as to facilitate subsequent film wrapping processing.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention adopts a highly automated palletizing logistics method, including an identification device, an RGV transfer trolley, a palletizing robot, a palletizing arrangement device, and an automatic film wrapping machine, which solves the problems of personnel and logistics management during the palletizing process, reduces personnel allocation, and improves production efficiency.

[0018] The present invention can allocate a corresponding number of stacking positions according to the various specifications of the catch divided by weight, so that products of each specification can be stacked separately, which is convenient for subsequent shipment and sales.

[0019] The present invention can set a number of stacking positions corresponding to the product grading specifications in the finished product box according to the product grading specifications for product positioning, and use the RGV trolley instead of the traditional roller line to transport the stacking and empty pallets, which has a high degree of automation, small footprint and easier maintenance.

[0020] The invention belongs to a ship-borne automated palletizing logistics system, has high space utilization, and can also be used in compact land-based processing plants. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
