It is only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0034] The following will introduce the tray splitting device provided by the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners. In this embodiment, the tray splitting device is applicable to aluminum and steel strips wound into a disc shape (hereinafter simply referred to as trays). Of course, in other embodiments, the tray splitting device can also split and handle other materials or products in a disc shape to complete the splitting and handling of multiple trays.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, the tray splitting device specifically includes a splitting bracket 1, a locking member 2 and at least two claws 3. Among them, around the center of the splitting bracket 1, the locking member 2 and at least two claws 3 are annularly arranged on the splitting bracket 1. The claws 3 can clamp the tray and are fixedly connected to the splitting bracket 1 to fix and limit the tray through at least two claws 3. The locking member 2 is movably arranged on the splitting bracket 1 and can press or release the tray in a direction close to or away from the center of the splitting bracket 1.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the splitting bracket 1 has a star-shaped structure and includes three arms 11 extending outward with the center of the splitting bracket 1 as the origin. The three arms 11 are arranged around the center of the splitting bracket 1. The splitting bracket 1 as a whole can be made of steel to ensure strength and be able to bear trays with a relatively large weight. And the star-shaped splitting bracket 1 can save some steel between adjacent arms 11, thereby reducing the overall weight of the splitting bracket 1 on the basis of meeting the usage requirements, so as to facilitate handling equipment such as manipulators to transport the splitting bracket 1 assembled with trays to a designated position.

[0037] More specifically, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, there are clamping claws 3 provided on two of the support arms 11, and a locking member 2 is provided on the other support arm 11. The two clamping claws 3 first clamp and pre-position the tray from the outer edge of the tray, and then the locking member 2 is used to press on the tray, so that the tray can be fixed on the tray dividing bracket 1 through the cooperation of the locking member 2 and the two clamping claws 3, and the stability is strong. Further, the three support arms 11 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, so that an angle of 120° is formed between the three support arms 11, which can further improve the clamping stability of the tray.

[0038] Of course, it can be understood that in some other parallel embodiments, the bracket can also be provided with four, five or even more, and the locking member 2 can also be provided with two, three or even more, so as to be adapted to divide, install and carry trays with larger radial dimensions and heavier weights, and can ensure stability and reliability. Therefore, the present invention does not limit the number of the support arms 11, the clamping claws 3 and the locking member 2, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs.

[0039] Optionally, the tray dividing bracket 1 further includes a circular hanging plate 12 located at the center of the tray dividing bracket 1. The circular hanging plate 12 can be fixedly connected to the intersection points of the three support arms 11 by welding or other means, and a lifting ring for the manipulator to lift the entire tray dividing bracket 1 can be provided on the circular hanging plate 12, so as to achieve the purpose of saving labor, and can further enhance the practicability, convenience and safety of the entire tray dividing bracket 1. Preferably, the circular hanging plate 12 is made of steel.

[0040] Optionally, in order to improve the applicable range of the tray dividing device, in this embodiment, a first mounting hole 321 is opened on the clamping claw 3; in the direction of approaching or departing from the center of the tray dividing bracket 1, a plurality of second mounting holes 111 are opened on the support arm 11 at intervals; and the tray dividing device provided in this embodiment further includes a fastening connecting member 4. The fastening connecting member 4 passes through the first mounting hole 321 and can selectively pass through one of the second mounting holes 111 to fixedly arrange the clamping claw 3 on the tray dividing bracket 1 in different relative positions.

[0041] One implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The first mounting hole 321 is a sliding hole, and the second mounting hole 111 is a through hole with internal threads. The fastening connection member 4 is selected as a screw or a bolt. After the operator moves the claw 3 to an appropriate position on the support arm 11 according to the radial size of the actual tray, the fastening connection member 4 passes through the first mounting hole 321 and is then screwed into the second mounting hole 111, thus completing the fixation of the claw 3. Through the above settings, the tray splitting device can split trays with various diameter specifications, and the operation is simple. The claw 3 is fixed stably and reliably, and the practicability is greatly improved.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 2 includes a locking mounting block 21 and a locking push rod 22. Among them, the locking mounting block 21 is fixedly connected to the support arm 11, and along the direction of approaching or departing from the center of the splitting bracket 1, the locking support rod 22 is movably connected to the locking mounting block 21, so that after the tray is placed on the device, the locking push rod 22 can be pressed against the top outer edge of the tray, enabling the tray to be fixedly arranged on the splitting bracket 1. After the tray is transported to the blanking station, the locking push rod 22 can move in the direction away from the tray to release the tray, so that the tray can be easily removed from the device, thus facilitating the loading, transportation, and blanking processes of the tray and improving the conveying efficiency of the tray.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a fixing structure is provided on the locking push rod 22, and the locking push rod 22 can be fixedly connected to the locking mounting block 21 through the fixing structure to improve the safety of the tray during transportation and prevent the tray from slipping off the splitting bracket 1.

[0044] One implementation of this embodiment is that a threaded through hole 211 is provided on the locking mounting block 21, and a threaded portion is provided on the locking push rod. The threaded portion is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole 211, that is, the threaded portion forms the aforementioned fixing structure, enabling the locking push rod 22 to achieve relative movement or relative fixation with the locking mounting block 21 through threaded connection. This implementation method simplifies the structure of the locking member 2, is not only safe and reliable, but also convenient to operate, and reduces the difficulty of the locking push rod 22 when pressing or releasing the tray.

[0045] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the locking mounting block 21 is fixedly installed on the support arm 11 by means of threaded connection members to facilitate the disassembly, maintenance, and replacement of the locking member 2. Of course, in other parallel embodiments, the locking mounting block 21 can also be connected to the support arm 11 by means of detachable fixation such as clamping, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0046] For the convenience of screwing, in this embodiment, a screwing handle 23 is fixedly arranged on a section of the locking push rod 22 far from the tray, so as to facilitate the operator to screw the locking push rod 22 and reduce the operation pressure.

[0047] Further, in this embodiment, a claw 3 is also arranged at one end of the locking push rod 22 close to the tray. Specifically, the claw 3 is rotatably connected to the locking push rod 22, so that after the claw 3 connected to the locking push rod 22 is clamped on the tray, the claw 3 will not interfere with the rotation of the locking push rod 22, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the locking push rod 22 in the direction close to the tray and pressing the tray tightly.

[0048] In this embodiment, with reference to Figure 5 As shown, the claw 3 specifically includes a claw body 31, a support block 32 and a rib plate 33. The claw body 31 is fixedly connected to the support block 32. The claw body 31 preferably has a U-shaped structure to facilitate clamping the tray; a first mounting hole 321 as described above is provided on the support block 32, and the rib plate 33 is fixedly connected between the claw body 31 and the support block 32 to strengthen the structural strength of the claw body 31 and prevent the claw body 31 from bending and skewing.

[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, only the two claws 3 not directly connected to the locking push rod 22 are designed into the above-mentioned split structure, and the claw 3 directly connected to the locking push rod 22 only includes the above-mentioned claw body 31 to ensure that the locking push rod 22 and the claw body 31 can rotate relative to each other.

[0050] Further, the clamping surfaces of the claw body 31 are all arc-shaped, so that the outer shape of the claw body 31 can better adapt to the outer edge of the tray, increasing the contact area between the claw body 31 and the outer edge of the tray, thereby enhancing the clamping reliability of the claw body 31.

[0051] Working principle: According to the above-mentioned tray splitting device, when in use, first use a mechanical jib to hook on the sling on the circular sling 12, and then use the mechanical jib to move the entire tray splitting device to the position where the tray is placed. After the operator aligns the two claw bodies 31 fixed on the jib with the tray to be split, use the mechanical jib to lift the tray splitting device, so that the two claw bodies 31 are clamped at the outer edge of the tray to realize pre-positioning of the tray to be split. Then the operator uses the screwing handle 23 to screw the locking push rod 22 in the direction close to the tray until the claw body 31 connected to the locking push rod 22 can be clamped at the outer edge of the tray, and then finely adjust the locking push rod 22 to make the claw body 31 tightly press on the tray, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the tray on the tray splitting device. Finally, use the mechanical jib to lift the tray splitting device upward to transport the tray on the tray splitting device to the loading tray.

[0052] After the tray is carried onto the loading tray, the operator screws the locking push rod 22 in the reverse direction to loosen the chuck body 31 on the locking push rod 22 from the tray, and then the tray dividing device can be removed from the tray. Then, use the mechanical jib to move the tray dividing device to the position of the next tray to be divided, and repeat the above installation steps until a group of trays are divided and carried onto the loading tray. Through the above tray dividing device, the operation of manually carrying the tray onto the loading tray by the operator can be omitted. Only one operator is required to control the mechanical jib to carry the tray dividing device equipped with the tray onto the loading tray, thus saving manpower. Not only is the handling efficiency guaranteed, but it is also safer, avoiding the risk of causing personal danger to the operator.
