DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments.

[0022] Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] refer to Figure 1-Figure 6 .

[0024] The present invention provides a high-efficiency automatic loading and unloading equipment, including a frame 1, on which a transfer mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a first silo mechanism 4, a second silo mechanism 5, and a loading and unloading mechanism 6 are arranged; the transfer mechanism 2 comprises a first Z-axis linear driving mechanism 20 arranged at one side of the frame 1, and a transfer support plate 21 driven and connected to the first Z-axis linear driving mechanism 20; the conveying mechanism 3 comprises a first Y-axis linear driving mechanism 30 arranged at one side of the frame 1, and a conveying platform 31 driven and connected to the first Y-axis linear driving mechanism 30; the first silo mechanism 4 and the second silo mechanism 5 both comprise a second Z-axis linear driving mechanism 40 arranged at one side of the frame 1, and a silo support plate 41 driven and connected to the second Z-axis linear driving mechanism 40; the loading and unloading mechanism 6 comprises a second Y-axis linear driving mechanism 60 arranged at the top of the frame 1, and a clamping mechanism 61 driven and connected to the second Y-axis linear driving mechanism 60; one end of the transfer support plate 21 and the silo support plate 41 are both provided with a conveying avoidance window 210, and the conveying platform 31 can enter and exit the conveying avoidance window 210.

[0025] Its working principle is that material loading and finished product unloading operations can be performed at the transfer mechanism 2 manually or by AGV, and both materials and finished products are placed on pallets. When loading materials, several pallets loaded with materials are stacked and placed on the transfer pallet 21, and the transfer platform 31 is driven to move to the bottom of the transfer pallet 21 by the first Y-axis linear drive mechanism 30, and the transfer pallet 21 is driven down by the first Z-axis linear drive mechanism 20, and the transfer platform 31 will enter the transfer avoidance window 210 of the transfer pallet 21 until the bottom material pallet on the transfer pallet 21 is supported by the transfer platform 31 and separated from the transfer pallet 21, and the silo pallet 41 is driven to descend to a height below the transfer platform 31 by the second Z-axis linear drive mechanism 40 of the first silo mechanism 4, and the silo pallet 41 is driven to descend to a height below the transfer platform 31 by the first Y-axis linear drive mechanism 40, and the silo pallet 41 is driven to descend to a height below the transfer platform 31 by the first Y-axis linear drive mechanism 20. The linear drive mechanism 30 drives the transport platform 31 to enter the transport avoidance window 210 of the silo pallet 41 until the transport platform 31 moves to the top of the silo pallet 41, and the silo pallet 41 is driven to rise by the second Z-axis linear drive mechanism 40 of the first silo mechanism 4. The silo pallet 41 can transfer the material pallet on the transport platform 31 to the silo pallet 41 of the first silo mechanism 4, until the top material pallet rises to the loading and unloading mechanism 6, and the clamping mechanism 61 can move back and forth under the drive of the second Y-axis linear drive mechanism 60. After the clamping mechanism 61 clamps the top material pallet, it is driven by the second Z-axis of the first silo mechanism 4. The linear drive mechanism 40 drives the silo pallet 41 to descend to a certain height, so that the material pallet on the top layer can be separated from the material pallet on the next layer, and the material pallet can be transported to the next workstation to realize the loading operation; when the finished product is unloaded, the pallet with the finished product is stacked on the silo pallet 41 of the second silo mechanism 5 by the loading and unloading mechanism 6, and the conveying platform 31 is driven to move to the bottom of the silo pallet 41 of the second silo mechanism 5 by the first Y-axis linear drive mechanism 30, and the silo pallet 41 is driven to descend to a height below the conveying platform 31 by the second Z-axis linear drive mechanism 40 of the second silo mechanism 5, and the conveying platform 31 will enter the silo pallet 41. The transport avoidance window 210 holds the finished product pallet on the silo pallet 41, and the transport platform 31 is driven backward by the first Y-axis linear drive mechanism 30 to avoid the silo pallet 41 of the second silo mechanism 5. After the silo pallet 41 of the second silo mechanism 5 rises and resets, the transport platform 31 can transport the finished product pallet to the upper side of the transfer pallet 21 under the drive of the first Y-axis linear drive mechanism 30, and the transfer pallet 21 is driven to rise by the first Z-axis linear drive mechanism 20. The transfer pallet 21 receives the finished product pallet, and the finished product pallet can be taken away from the transfer pallet 21 manually or by AGV to complete the unloading operation. The first silo mechanism 4 and the second silo mechanism 5 can perform material loading and finished product unloading operations in rotation to achieve non-stop loading and unloading. By combining the loading and unloading functions, the length of the production line can be shortened, the loading and unloading efficiency can be effectively improved, and the equipment cost can be reduced.

[0026] Based on the above embodiment, the frame 1 includes four columns 10, a top plate 11 fixedly connected between the top ends of the four columns 10, a loading and unloading window 110 is opened on the top plate 11, and vertical plates 12 are arranged on both sides of the top of the top plate 11; the second Y-axis linear drive mechanism 60 includes a C-shaped slide 600 slidably connected between the two vertical plates 12 along the Y-axis direction, and a Y-axial drive cylinder 601 arranged on the vertical plate 12 and drivingly connected to the C-shaped slide 600; the clamping mechanism 61 includes two relatively arranged clamping components 610, and the clamping component 610 includes a clamping cylinder 611 arranged at one end of the C-shaped slide 600, and an L-shaped material picking arm 612 drivingly connected to the clamping cylinder 611. When the Y-axis driving cylinder 601 is working, it can drive the clamping mechanism 61 to move forward and backward. When the pallet is located between the two L-shaped picking arms 612, the clamping cylinders 611 on both sides drive the L-shaped picking arms 612 to move forward, so that the two L-shaped picking arms 612 can clamp the pallet, making it convenient to separate the two layers of pallets and transport the pallets.

[0027] Based on the above embodiment, the first Z-axis linear drive mechanism 20 includes a Z-axis slide 200 slidably connected between the two columns 10 along the Z-axis direction, a Z-axis cylinder 201 disposed on one of the columns 10 and drivingly connected to the Z-axis slide 200, and a transfer support plate 21 fixedly connected to the Z-axis slide 200. When the Z-axis cylinder 201 is working, it can drive the Z-axis slide 200 to move up and down, thereby driving the transfer support plate 21 to move up and down.

When the Y-axis synchronous belt slide 301 is working, it can drive the transport platform 31 to move forward and backward to realize the transfer of the pallet between the transfer pallet 21 and the silo pallet 41.

When the Z-axis synchronous belt slide 401 is working, it can drive the silo support plate 41 to move up and down, thereby driving the tray to lift and lower for loading and unloading operations.

[0030] Based on the above embodiment, a blocking mechanism 7 is also included, which includes a pushing mechanism 70, a first baffle 71 fixedly connected to the connecting vertical plate 410, and the pushing mechanism 70 includes an X-axis pushing cylinder 700 and a second baffle 701 drivingly connected to the X-axis pushing cylinder 700, wherein a support 14 is fixedly connected to one of the vertical columns 10, and the X-axis pushing cylinder 700 is arranged on the support seat 14. When the transfer pallet 21 transports the pallet horizontally, the second baffle 701 is driven to approach the first baffle 71 by the X-axis pushing cylinder 700, and the pallet moves between the first baffle 71 and the second baffle 701, which plays a stabilizing role and prevents the pallet from tipping over during transportation.

[0031] Based on the above embodiment, a plurality of material blocking plates 411 are distributed around the transport avoidance window 210 on the top of the silo support plate 41, which can limit the pallet and prevent the pallet from tipping over.

[0032] Based on the above embodiment, guide plates 211 are provided on both sides of the top of the transfer pallet 21, and a guide slope 211a is provided at one end of the guide plate 211. The end of the guide plate 211 away from the guide slope 211a is connected to a limit plate 212, and a proximity sensor 213 is provided on the limit plate 212. When the material tray is placed on the transfer pallet 21, the material tray enters the transfer pallet 21 under the guidance of the guide slopes 211a on both sides until the material tray touches the inner side of the limit plate 212, and the proximity sensor 213 can sense that the material is in place and send a signal to the control system.

[0033] Based on the above embodiment, positioning columns 310 are provided on both sides of the top of the conveying platform 31, and the bottom of the pallet should be provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning columns 310. When the pallet is placed on the conveying platform 31, the positioning columns 310 are inserted into the positioning holes of the pallet to position the pallet and ensure that the pallet is placed accurately.
