A pallet transplanter 2 for transferring the wooden pallet to the tile bundling device 3 is provided between the wooden pallet conveying device 1 and the tile bundling device 3; a plurality of tile bundling devices 3 are provided, and a bundling belt storage device 4 for automatically supplying and loading bundling belts is provided on one side of the plurality of tile bundling devices 3; the stacking robot 5 is provided between the tile bundling device 3 and the finished product conveying line 6, and is used to transfer the tiles packaged by the tile bundling device 3 to the finished product conveying line 6; the finished product conveying line 6 is located between the tile bundling devices 3 on the left and right sides, and the end of the finished product conveying line 6 is connected to an unpacking workstation for untying the bundling belts and loading; It also includes an intelligent control system, which adopts a PLC control system to coordinate and control the packaging process to automatically control the automatic connection and monitoring of each link.

[0024] Specifically, as a common material carrier, wooden pallets are widely used in the storage and transportation of panels and furniture parts. In order to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the production process, the rapid loading and unloading of wooden pallets has become the key. In the past, this process mostly relied on manual operation, that is, workers used carts or forklifts to separate the stacked wooden pallets layer by layer, and then transported them one by one to different stations of the production line. This was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easily caused damage to the wooden pallets or uneven stacking, thereby affecting the subsequent processing quality and production rhythm. The present invention uses a wooden pallet conveying device 1 to transport empty wooden pallets to a predetermined position in sequence to prepare for subsequent packaging; at the same time, the tile bundling device 3 integrates a bundling belt storage device 4 and an automatic feeding system, which can continuously supply bundling belts, tightly wrap the stacked tiles, and ensure stability during transportation. The automatic feeding system uses a stacking robot 5, which uses the stacking robot 5 to accurately transport tiles from the production line to the wooden pallet, and stack them according to a preset pattern to ensure that each layer of tiles is neat and consistent. After the tiles are packaged, the palletizing robot 5 transfers the packaged tiles to the finished product conveyor line 6, thereby completing the loading and dispatching.

[0025] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the wooden pallet conveying device 1 includes a storage rack 11 for storing wooden pallets, and a pallet conveying line 12 for conveying a single wooden pallet, and a plurality of pallet disassembling mechanisms 13 for disassembling the wooden pallets are arranged on the inner side wall of the storage rack 11; the head end of the pallet conveying line 12 extends to the bottom of the pallet disassembling mechanism 13, and the end of the pallet conveying line 12 extends to the pallet transplanter 2.

[0026] Specifically, the pallet conveyor line 12 includes a pallet conveyor line frame 121, a conveyor belt 122 and a first drive component 123. One end of the pallet conveyor line frame 121 extends to the bottom end of the storage rack 11, and the other end extends to the bottom of the pallet transplanter 2; the conveyor belt 122 is symmetrically arranged on the pallet conveyor line frame, and both ends of the conveyor belt 122 are rotatably connected to the first drive component 123; the first drive component 123 includes a servo motor, a transmission chain, a driving sprocket and a driven sprocket. The driven sprocket is sleeved on both ends of the conveyor belt, and the driven sprocket and the driving sprocket are driven by a sleeved transmission chain. The driving sprocket is rotatably connected to the output end of the servo motor, and the servo motor is fixedly connected to the pallet conveyor line frame 121.

[0027] Among them, Figure 5As shown, the dismantling mechanism 13 includes a fixed frame 131, a baffle bracket 132, a sub-pallet 133 and a dismantling cylinder 134. The fixed frame 131 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage rack 11. The baffle bracket 132 is connected to the fixed frame 131 and is used to limit and fix the wooden pallet. There are multiple sub-pallet 133, and a cylinder top plate is connected between the multiple sub-pallet 133. There are multiple dismantling cylinders 134, and the multiple dismantling cylinders 134 are respectively set on the corners of the fixed frame 131. In the process of dismantling the wooden pallet, the dismantling cylinder 134 is set according to the height of each wooden pallet, and the sub-pallet 133 is used to support the penultimate wooden pallet and above, so that the last wooden pallet falls onto the pallet conveyor line 12 under the action of its own weight, thereby completing the function of a single dismantling.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a centering mechanism 14 for adjusting the position of the wooden pallet is provided on one end of the pallet conveyor line 12 close to the pallet transplanter 2, and a lifting mechanism 15 for lifting the wooden pallet is provided on the centering mechanism 14; a flipping mechanism 16 for flipping the wooden pallet is provided on one side of the lifting mechanism 15, and the flipping mechanism 16 is cooperatively connected with the lifting mechanism 15.

[0029] Specifically, in order to avoid the problem of the wooden pallet being offset on the pallet conveyor line 12, the centering mechanism 14 includes a crossbeam frame 141, a cylinder seat 142 and a push cylinder 143. The crossbeam frame 141 is horizontally arranged on the bottom frame of the pallet conveyor line, and the length of the crossbeam frame 141 is greater than the width of the bottom frame of the pallet conveyor line; the cylinder seat 142 is arranged on the crossbeam frame 141, and the cylinder seat 142 is located on both sides of the conveyor belt; the push cylinder 143 is fixedly connected to the cylinder seat 142, and a push plate 144 is arranged on the output end of the push cylinder 143, and a buffer pad 145 is bonded to the push plate 144. By utilizing the characteristics of the push cylinder 143, it is ensured that the wooden pallet at the end of the pallet conveyor line 12 is kept in the middle position under the action of the push plates 144 on the left and right sides, so as to facilitate the subsequent lifting and flipping.

[0030] Among them, Figure 7As shown, the lifting mechanism 15 is located in the middle of the conveyor belt, and the lifting mechanism 15 includes a lifting base plate 151, a lifting support plate 152, a lifting rod 153 and a lifting cylinder 154.

The lifting mechanism 15 adopts a screw or chain hoist driven by a servo motor, which can smoothly lift the wooden pallet from a horizontal plane to a vertical state, preparing for subsequent flipping.

[0031] It is worth noting that the flipping mechanism 16 includes a flipping shaft 161, a clamping plate 162 and a rotating lifting rod 163. The flipping shaft 161 is fixed on the bottom frame of the pallet conveying line, and the two ends of the flipping shaft 161 are connected to the driving assembly 49 by transmission. The clamping plate 162 is clamped on the flipping shaft 161, and one side of the clamping plate 162 is fixedly connected to the rotating lifting rod 163; the rotating lifting rod 163 is located on the outer side of the conveyor belt, and the rotating lifting rod 163 is rotatably connected to the flipping shaft 161 through the clamping plate 162. The flipping mechanism 16 can realize 90° or 180° flipping of the wooden pallet 8 to meet different processing requirements. When flipping, the flipping shaft 161 is driven to rotate by the driving assembly 49 on the pallet conveying line 12, thereby driving the clamping plate 162 and the rotating lifting rod 163 to rotate around the flipping shaft 161. The flipping angle can be controlled by using a servo motor.

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the pallet transplanter 2 includes a gantry hanger 21, a clamping assembly 22 for grabbing the pallet, a lifting assembly 23 for driving the wooden pallet to grab and lift the height, and a transverse movement assembly 24 for driving the wooden pallet to move forward and backward.

Among them, the lifting assembly 23 adopts the existing well-known guide rail lifting technology, and the transverse movement assembly 24 includes a linear guide rail and a guide plate, one side of the guide plate is slidably connected to the slide rail 44, and the other side is fixedly connected to the lifting assembly 23, thereby realizing the movement of the pallet transplanter 2 in a multi-dimensional space, which is convenient for adjusting the transportation direction of the wooden pallet up, down, left, right, front, and back.

[0034] In this embodiment, the palletizing robot 5 includes a base 51 and a robotic arm 52 . The robotic arm 52 is rotatably connected to the base 51 , and the robotic arm 52 is a six-axis or multi-axis robotic arm 52 . The robotic arm 52 is also equipped with a visual positioning system.

[0035] Specifically, the six-axis or multi-axis robotic arm 52 can realize multi-dimensional grasping of packaged tiles to improve their transportation efficiency. At the same time, the visual positioning system can realize accurate positioning, grasping and stacking of tiles.

[0036] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the tile bundling device 3 includes a mounting bracket 31, a traction mechanism 32 and a tightening mechanism 33 movably connected to the mounting bracket 31 for pulling and tightening the bundling rope, a transverse movement mechanism 34 movably connected in the mounting bracket 31 along its length direction, and connecting rods 35 for binding the bundling rope are slidably connected on both sides of the transverse movement mechanism 34, and the connecting rods 35 are arranged perpendicular to the transverse movement mechanism 34. An even number of the traction mechanism 32 and the tightening mechanism 33 are arranged, and the traction mechanism 32 and the tightening mechanism 33 are movably connected to the connecting rods 35 on the left and right sides respectively, and the traction mechanism 32 is connected with the tightening mechanism 33 through the transverse movement mechanism 34, so that the bundling rope can automatically complete the bundling and tightening of the stacked tiles.

[0037] Specifically, the traction mechanism 32 includes a connecting plate, a roller fixing frame and a belt-taking roller. The connecting plate is in a Z-shaped structure and is mounted on the top of the connecting rod 35. The roller fixing frame is fixed to one side of the connecting plate, and a positioning shaft is rotatably connected between the roller fixing frame and the belt-taking roller. One end of the positioning shaft is plugged into the fixing frame, and the other end is engaged with the belt-taking roller. A groove for pulling the binding rope is provided on the roller shaft of the belt-taking roller. The belt-taking roller can limit the binding rope through the groove, and the binding rope can be pulled and guided under the action of the belt-taking roller. The traction mechanism 32 also includes a locking plug, a connecting block and a driving cylinder. The driving cylinder is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate, and the output end of the driving cylinder is transmission-connected to the locking plug through the connecting block. The connecting block is also connected to a lifting slide rail 44, and the lifting slide rail 44 is arranged on the connecting plate on the same side as the driving cylinder. During the traction process, the connecting rod 35 adjusts its height on the mounting bracket 31 according to the height of the tiles after stacking, and utilizes the transverse movement mechanism 34 to enable it to bundle and pack the pulled binding rope around the tiles. Finally, the locking plate is driven by the driving cylinder to cooperate with the tightening mechanism 33, thereby fixing the traction position and completing the tightening of the binding rope.

[0038] The tightening mechanism 33 includes a moving pad mounted on the connecting rod 35, a rope tightener fixed on one side of the moving pad, and a pulling assembly for driving the rope tightener to tighten. The rope tightener is provided with limit clamps on the left and right sides, and the bottom end of the limit clamps is connected to a clamping cylinder. A central rotating shaft is provided at the connection between the driving assembly 49 and the rope tightener. A locking groove adapted to the locking plug is provided on the central rotating shaft. When the locking plug is plugged into the locking groove, the tying rope can slide from the take-up roller to the rope tightener. The rope tightener is a known technology, so its working principle will not be described in detail. The pulling assembly includes a push-pull cylinder, a hook pressure block and a transmission handle. The push-pull cylinder is fixedly connected to the other side of the moving pad, and the output end of the push-pull cylinder is connected to the hook pressure block in a transmission manner. The hook pressure block is a hook-shaped structure, and a hooking groove is provided at the center. One end of the transmission handle is engaged in the hooking groove, and the other end is connected to the rope tightener. In order to adjust the tightness of the binding rope according to the size of the tiles, when the other end of the binding rope is pulled to the rope tightener through the traction mechanism 32, the transmission handle is driven by the push-pull cylinder to rotate left and right around the central rotation axis repeatedly, so that the binding rope is gradually tightened. At the same time, the clamping cylinder drives the clamping block to fix the binding rope to prevent it from escaping from the rope tightener, thereby achieving the effect of quickly adjusting the tightness of the binding rope.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Fig.10As shown, the tile bundling device 3 also includes a tile supporting mechanism 36 with a stacking station, the tile supporting mechanism 36 includes a moving seat 361, a flipping frame 362, a pallet supporting frame and a tile supporting frame 364, the flipping frame 362 is flipably installed on the top of the moving seat 361, and the flipping frame 362 includes a pallet supporting surface and a tile supporting surface that are perpendicular to each other, a plurality of pallet supporting frames are equidistantly arranged on the pallet supporting surface, and a tile supporting frame 364 is installed on the tile supporting surface.

[0040] Specifically, the tile supporting mechanism 36 is a movable structure, and the sliding direction of the flipping frame 362 and the sliding direction of the movable seat 361 are parallel to each other; the movable structure setting, on the one hand, can make the working end of the traction mechanism 32 and the working surface of the tile supporting mechanism 36 staggered, which is conducive to the smooth loading of the pallet and tiles by using the existing multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator or conveyor line. When the traction mechanism 32 and the tightening mechanism 33 need to be inspected and repaired, they will not be hindered by the tile supporting mechanism 36; on the other hand, the setting position of the tile supporting mechanism 36 and the traction mechanism 32 can be adjusted according to the moving range of the manipulator or the conveyor line, which is conducive to further improving the versatility of the bundling equipment.

The synchronous gears at both ends of the shaft rotate under the drive, and the transmission is realized through the synchronous toothed belt. The synchronous gears in the middle of the two sides of the bottom of the top frame 43 further ensure the stability of the synchronous toothed belt transmission. The synchronous toothed belt transmission can smoothly drive the winding mechanism 46 connected thereto to move up and down to achieve height adjustment. This lifting method can flexibly adjust the position of the winding mechanism 46 according to different usage requirements, such as adapting to operators of different heights or transport vehicles of different heights, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the device. At the same time, the synchronous toothed belt transmission has high accuracy, which can ensure the stability and accuracy of the lifting process of the winding mechanism 46, and reduce the operational inconvenience and safety hazards caused by shaking or inaccurate position.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Fig.12 As shown, the winding mechanism 46 includes a placement rack 461, which is fixedly installed on the inner side of the slider 45, and the driving component 49 in the winding mechanism 46 is fixedly installed on one side of the placement rack 461. The interior of the placement rack 461 is rotatably connected with a movable shaft 462 at equal intervals, and both ends of the movable shaft 462 pass through the placement rack 461. Both ends of the movable shaft 462 are provided with a winding component 463, and both sides of the placement rack 461 are fixedly installed with a tension adjustment component 464.

[0044] Specifically, the support rod 42 on the top of the bottom frame 41 provides a stable support structure for the entire device. The slide rail 44 on the inner side of the support rod 42 cooperates with the slider 45, so that the winding mechanism 46 can slide up and down smoothly, thereby improving the operating stability of the device. The placement rack 461 in the winding mechanism 46 is connected to the support rod 42 through the slider 45, ensuring the firmness of the winding mechanism 46 during the lifting process. The driving assembly 49 in the placement rack 461 provides power for the winding operation to realize automatic winding. The movable shaft 462 connected in rotation at equal intervals makes the winding more uniform and improves the winding efficiency. The winding assembly 463 at the outer end of the movable shaft 462 can effectively wind the tile strapping belt, avoiding the problem of entanglement caused by the messy placement of the strapping belt, and improving the convenience of the tile loading and unloading process. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 48 can adjust the height of the winding mechanism 46 according to different needs to adapt to operators of different heights and transport vehicles of different heights, further enhancing the practicality and flexibility of the device.

[0045] Embodiment 2 A packaging method for a ceramic tile packaging system, such as Fig.13 As shown, the following steps are included: S1, wooden pallet conveying: conveying the empty wooden pallet to the preset workstation through the wooden pallet conveying device 1; S2, tile stacking: the stacking robot 5 moves the tiles from the production line to the wooden pallet and stacks them neatly according to the predetermined arrangement; S3, bundling and packaging: the tile bundling device 3 automatically supplies the bundling belt and performs the bundling operation to complete the packaging of the tiles; S4, finished product transportation: the bundled tiles are sent to the loading area through the finished product conveyor line 6 for preparation before loading; S5. Loading and processing: The packaged tiles are transported to the pre-loading processing station, and the strapping is untied using a cutting device to facilitate loading and unloading of vehicles.

[0046] Specifically, the wooden pallets stacked in the storage rack 11 are disassembled one by one and pushed to the entrance of the pallet conveyor line 12 under the action of the pallet disassembly mechanism 13; when the wooden pallets move forward on the pallet conveyor line 12 and pass through the centering mechanism 14 on the way, the pushing cylinders 143 on both sides automatically adjust the spacing of the wooden pallets through the pushing plates 144 to ensure that the wooden pallets always remain in the central position to avoid swaying left and right; then when the wooden pallets approach the end of the pallet conveyor line 12, the lifting mechanism 15 is started to lift the wooden pallets to a certain height; then, the rotating shaft of the turning mechanism 16 rotates to drive the wooden pallets to turn 90° to keep them in a vertical state; finally, the clamping assembly 22 of the pallet transplanter 2 adjusts the clamping spacing according to the size of the wooden pallets, and under the action of the lifting assembly 23 and the transverse movement assembly 24, the wooden pallets are smoothly conveyed to the next tooling equipment to complete the entire automated loading and unloading process.

[0047] The specific process of bundling and packaging in step S3 is as follows: Preparation stage: The operator first fixes one end of the binding rope of the required length on the tightening mechanism 33, passes the other end through the traction mechanism 32, and then places it on the tile supporting mechanism 36, ensuring that the starting end is clamped firmly.

[0048] Start-up phase: After the operator confirms that all parameter settings are correct on the control system, he presses the start button, and the control unit immediately sends a command to the tile bundling device 3. The traction mechanism 32 slowly rises to a preset height under the action of the lifting component 23 and the driving component 49. At this time, the bundling rope is in the best winding position.

[0049] Winding stage: After the traction mechanism 32 reaches the specified height, it starts to move along the transverse mechanism 34 to one side of the tightening mechanism 33, and when it moves to the top of the tightening mechanism 33, the insert drives the binding rope to move downward and cooperates with the tightening mechanism 33, so that the binding rope extends to the tightening mechanism 33. At the same time, the rope tightener starts to wind the binding rope so that the length and tightness of the binding rope can be adjusted according to the packaging size of the tiles; during this period, the traction mechanism 32 will continue to adjust the tension of the binding rope to ensure a smooth and smooth winding process.

[0050] Completion stage: When the remaining length of the tying rope is insufficient, the control system will detect a signal and issue a stop command, the tightening mechanism 33 will stop working immediately, and then the lifting assembly 23 will move again to lower the transverse movement mechanism 34 that has completed winding to a low position, so that the operator can easily take out the wound tying rope.

[0051] Finally, the above steps are repeated in a cycle until all the binding ropes are properly rolled up, thereby realizing the rapid packaging and bundling of batches of tiles.

[0052] The present invention integrates advanced robotic arm technology and intelligent control systems to achieve full automation of the process from transportation, stacking, bundling to finished product output of tiles, greatly shortening the packaging time, reducing labor costs, and improving packaging quality. It is suitable for large-scale packaging operations of various tile production companies.

The same components are represented by the same figure marks. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
