Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pallet shaping in stereoscopic warehouses, in particular to a novel pallet shaping machine. Background Art

[0002] Most of the existing pallet shaping machines in high-rise warehouses require workers to use forklifts to put pallet groups onto chain conveyors, which are automatically transported to the shaping machine to automatically shape the pallets. Workers then use forklifts to take away the stacked empty pallets. Most of the existing pallet shaping machines use pneumatic components through push rods and multi-step actions to complete the pallet shaping work. They have complex structures, many actions, low efficiency, and high maintenance costs.

[0003] Now we need a new type of pallet shaping machine that can be integrated into the overall system of the three-dimensional warehouse, integrated with the warehouse, and automatically transport the stacked empty pallets to the designated location to reduce manual intervention. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a novel pallet shaping machine.

[0005] A novel pallet shaping machine includes a fixed frame and further includes:

[0006] Rocker arm assembly to shape the pallet;

[0007] The driving system is installed on the fixed frame and is used to provide power to drive the rocker arm assembly to move;

[0008] Tensioning assembly, used to adjust the tension;

[0009] The driving system comprises a motor arranged on a motor mounting seat for providing power, a driving sprocket for transmitting the power and torque of the motor, a chain for transmission, and a driven sprocket for receiving and transmitting the power of the motor.

[0010] The tensioning assembly comprises a tensioning sprocket seat, a tensioning sprocket shaft matched with the tensioning sprocket seat, and an adjustable tensioning sprocket matched with the tensioning sprocket shaft.

[0011] The rocker arm assembly includes a vertical seat bearing, a transmission shaft and a rocker arm arranged on the vertical seat bearing, a gear driven to rotate by the transmission shaft, a square seat bearing arranged at the lower end of the gear, and a pressure roller connected to the rocker arm.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention adopts a motor chain drive, the structure is simplified and the cost is low, and during the pallet shaping process, only one movement of the surrounding rocker arm assembly is required to complete the shaping, the efficiency is improved, and the pallet shaping speed is greatly improved. The driving system replaces the pneumatic components with a motor, the later maintenance cost is reduced, and the pallet is no longer subject to pneumatic impact during the pallet shaping process, and the pallet is not easily damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a novel pallet shaping machine includes a fixed frame 7 and further includes:

[0021] The rocker arm assembly 6 reshapes the pallet. By reshaping the pallet through the rocker arm assembly 6, the comprehensive utilization efficiency of the stereoscopic warehouse is improved. The stacked empty pallets no longer need to be transported by manual labor and forklifts, which improves the efficiency of the automated production line equipment and increases the overall storage efficiency of the stereoscopic warehouse.

[0022] A driving system 8, mounted on the fixed frame 7, is used to provide power to drive the rocker arm assembly 6 to move;

[0023] The tensioning assembly 4 is used to adjust the tension of the chain 3 .

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driving system 8 of the present invention includes a motor 1 arranged on a motor mounting seat 18 for providing power, a driving sprocket 2 for transmitting the power and torque of the motor 1, a chain 3 for transmission, and a driven sprocket 5 for receiving and transmitting the power of the motor 1.

[0025] The driven sprocket 5 of the present invention receives and transmits the power of the motor 1, thereby driving the rocker assembly 6 to shape the pallet.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixed frame 7 is connected to the lower connecting pipe 19.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the tensioning assembly 4 includes a tensioning sprocket seat 9, a tensioning sprocket shaft 11 matched with the tensioning sprocket seat 9, and an adjusting tensioning sprocket 10 matched with the tensioning sprocket shaft 11. The tensioning sprocket seat 9 is used to fix the tensioning assembly 4, and is connected to the lower connecting pipe 19 on the fixed frame 7. The tensioning sprocket shaft 11 cooperates with the tensioning sprocket seat 9 to adjust the position of the tensioning sprocket 10 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the tension of the chain 3.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the rocker arm assembly 6 of the present invention includes a vertical seat bearing 13, a transmission shaft 12 and a rocker arm 16 arranged on the vertical seat bearing 13, a gear 15 driven to rotate by the transmission shaft 12, a square seat bearing 14 arranged at the lower end of the gear 15, and a pressure roller 17 connected to the rocker arm 16. During specific operation, the chain 3 is used to drive the driven sprocket 5 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 12 drives the gear 15 to rotate and the pressure roller 17 connected to the rocker arm assembly 6 to swing, so that the pallet can be shaped and stacked, and automation is realized.

[0029] In specific application, the driving system 8 can be provided with two groups, and symmetrically arranged on the fixed frame 7. A group of rocker arm assemblies 6 are arranged on both sides of each driving system 8, and each group of rocker arm assemblies 6 includes at least one transmission shaft 12. When each group of rocker arm assemblies 6 includes two transmission shafts 12, the two corresponding gears 15 on the two transmission shafts 12 of the group are meshed with each other, that is, the driving system 8 only uses the chain 3 to directly drive one of the gears 15 to rotate, and the other gear 15 is rotated by meshing with the gear 15, so that the corresponding pressure rollers 17 on the two transmission shafts 12 will be closer to or farther away from each other.

[0030] Specifically, the chain 3 drives the driven sprocket 5 to rotate.

[0031] The square seat bearing 14 is fixed by connecting with the lower connecting pipe 19 , and the bearing seat fixing plate 21 is connected to the square seat bearing 14 .

[0032] The vertical seat bearing 13 is connected to the upper connecting pipe 20, and the rocker arm assembly 6 is connected and fixed to the upper connecting pipe 20 and the bearing seat fixing plate 21 of the fixed frame through the vertical seat bearing 13 and the square seat bearing 14 at both ends.

[0033] In actual operation, when the pallet is sent into the working range of the device of the present invention, the device drives the driving sprocket 2 through the motor 1, and then the driving sprocket 2 drives the chain 3 to rotate, and the chain 3 drives the driven sprocket 5. In this process, the tension of the chain 3 can be adjusted by the tensioning component 4.

[0034] Then the driven sprocket 5 drives the gear 15 of the rocker assembly 6 through the transmission shaft 12, and the gears 15 of the rocker assembly 6 are meshed with each other to make the rocker assemblies 6 around move synchronously, so that the pallets to be shaped can be shaped and stacked.

[0035] The present invention adopts a motor chain drive and other methods, which has a simplified structure and low cost. During the pallet shaping process, only one action of the surrounding rocker arm assembly 6 is required to complete the shaping, which improves efficiency and greatly increases the pallet shaping speed. The drive system 8 of the present invention replaces the pneumatic components with the motor 1, which reduces the maintenance cost in the later stage and is no longer subject to pneumatic impact during the pallet shaping process, so the pallet is not easily damaged.

[0036] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions only describe the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention.
