Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of stacker technology, specifically to a stacking equipment and a method for producing composite flooring. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern production and processing of composite flooring, in order to improve production efficiency, reduce costs and respond quickly to market orders, companies usually prepare a large number of semi-finished products (such as substrates for composite decorative layers, wear-resistant layers and balancing layers) in advance and store them in warehouses. After receiving an order, the semi-finished products are taken out and processed into finished products through subsequent processes such as cutting and tongue and groove processing. Under this production model, the efficient storage, transfer and management of semi-finished and finished products become key links affecting the company's production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, most composite flooring manufacturers still rely on traditional manual handling and stacking methods or simple mechanical auxiliary equipment for stacking operations. Manual stacking depends on a large amount of labor, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity. Furthermore, improper operation can easily lead to quality defects such as scratches on the floor surface and edge damage. Therefore, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) and their supporting aisle stacker cranes have become effective ways for composite flooring manufacturers to improve production efficiency.

[0004] Chinese patent CN117088027B discloses a stacker crane for aisle areas. By setting up a moving frame, a vertical movement device, a cargo temporary storage device, and an operating platform, the crane uses a picking device and a cargo temporary storage device to continuously store goods into the moving frame. Then, the goods are transferred between the storage compartments of the storage steel frame and the cargo temporary storage slots on the operating platform, saving the travel time of the moving frame between the operating platform and the storage steel frame.

[0005] However, while the aforementioned device achieves cargo transfer and storage by setting up structures such as moving frames and vertical moving devices, the actions of storing goods in the temporary storage device and retrieving them from the temporary storage device require separate time, resulting in the accumulation of transportation time, which limits the improvement of the stacking equipment's working efficiency and makes the speed-up effect insignificant. Summary of the Invention

When the lifting platform moves downward, the horizontal frame and the picking and delivering mechanism can be inserted between two adjacent conveying rollers respectively. When the horizontal frame contacts the support frame, the height of the upper surface of the picking and delivering mechanism is lower than the height of the upper end of the conveying roller, so that the goods can move to the top of the picking and delivering mechanism when they move on the conveying roller.

The upper drive motor is fixedly mounted on the translation plate, and its drive end is fixedly connected to the upper threaded rod. The carrying plate is slidably connected to the upper guide shaft and threadedly connected to the upper threaded rod. The sliding direction of the carrying plate is the same as the sliding direction of the translation plate.

[0015] Preferably, a stop block is fixedly installed at one end of the upper surface of the carrier plate, and a limit switch is provided on the stop block.

[0016] Preferably, a bearing seat is fixedly installed on the support frame, a drive shaft is fixedly installed on the conveying roller, the two ends of the drive shaft are rotatably installed between the bearing seats, a transmission shaft is rotatably installed on the inner side of the support frame, a transmission gear is fixedly installed on both the transmission shaft and the drive shaft, the transmission shaft and the drive shaft are driven by meshing transmission gears, a synchronous pulley is provided between adjacent transmission shafts, and the transmission shafts are connected by synchronous pulleys.

[0017] Preferably, a conveyor motor is fixedly installed on the support frame, the conveyor motors are evenly distributed on one side of the support frame, and the conveyor motors are connected to the adjacent drive shaft.

[0019] Preferably, translation rollers are installed on both sides of the upper and lower ends of the translation frame, and the translation rollers are respectively adapted to the ground rail and the ceiling rail.

[0020] Preferably, the lifting drive assembly includes a winch, a fixed pulley, and a cable. The winch is fixedly installed on one side wall of the translation frame facing the output end of the roller conveyor. The fixed pulley is installed on the top of the translation frame. The cable is installed on the winding and feeding end of the feeding device, and the cable passes around the fixed pulley and is fixedly connected to the end of the vertical frame.

[0021] Preferably, the lifting drive assembly further includes an inner support wheel and an outer support wheel, both of which are mounted on a vertical frame. The two side walls of the translation frame are respectively provided with an inner slide rail and an outer slide rail. The inner slide rail is adapted to the inner support wheel in a rolling manner, and the outer slide rail is adapted to the outer support wheel in a rolling manner.

[0022] This invention also discloses a method for producing composite flooring, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0023] When storing semi-finished composite flooring during processing, the products to be stacked are placed in the loading and unloading area of ​​the roller conveyor. The roller conveyor transports the products to the shelf space to be placed in a position that is close to the vertical direction. When the front end of the product approaches the end point of the roller conveyor, the roller conveyor is controlled to decelerate so that the product can smoothly reach the designated position.

[0024] The translation drive assembly moves the translation frame to the corresponding position in the vertical direction of the shelf where the product is to be placed. Then, the lifting drive assembly is activated to control the lifting platform to move down, so that the height of the upper surface of the picking and delivering mechanism is lower than the height of the upper end of the conveyor roller, in preparation for receiving the floor.

[0025] The product continues to move via a roller conveyor until it reaches above the picking and delivering mechanism. When the product reaches the designated position, the roller conveyor stops operating.

[0026] The lifting platform is moved up to the height of the shelf where the products are placed by controlling the lifting drive component.

[0027] Activate the pickup and delivery mechanism to move the product laterally into the interior of the shelf space;

[0028] After the product is placed, the lifting drive component controls the lifting platform to move down a certain height, so that the product is supported by the shelf and the picking and delivering mechanism is separated from the product. Then the picking and delivering mechanism is retracted to the initial position.

[0029] While the elevator platform takes the product away and places it into the shelf space, the roller conveyor synchronously transports the next set of products to be stacked to a position close to the shelf space in the vertical direction, thus achieving continuous and efficient stacking operations.

[0030] When a product needs to be removed for further processing, the translation drive component controls the translation frame to move to the vertically corresponding position of the shelf space where the target product is located;

[0031] Activate the lifting drive assembly to raise and lower the lifting platform, so that the height of the picking and delivering mechanism is lower than the bottom of the products on the shelf;

[0032] The product is retrieved from inside the shelf using a pickup and delivery mechanism and a lifting drive assembly.

[0033] The lifting platform is lowered by controlling the lifting drive component so that the picking and delivering mechanism is lower than the conveyor rollers, and the product is placed smoothly on the conveyor rollers of the roller conveyor.

[0034] Start the roller conveyor to transport the products to the loading and unloading area and complete the product removal process.

[0035] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a stacking device and a production method for composite flooring, which has the following advantages:

[0037] 1. This stacking equipment, by setting up a roller conveyor, can horizontally transport the goods to be stacked into the aisles of the automated warehouse. In conjunction with the setup of ground rails, overhead rails, translation frames, lifting platforms, and picking and delivering mechanisms, the translation frames can move to the position of the empty space on the shelf where the goods are placed, and the horizontal frame of the lifting platform and the picking and delivering mechanism can be inserted between the conveyor rollers, so that the goods on the conveyor rollers can be quickly moved to the picking and delivering mechanism, and then the lifting platform and the picking and delivering mechanism transport the goods to the empty space on the shelf, thereby effectively improving the stacking speed. At the same time, by setting up translation drive components and lifting drive components, the translation frames and lifting platforms can be automatically controlled, making the operation of the stacking equipment more automated.

[0038] 2. This stacking equipment, by setting a bearing seat, drive shaft, transmission shaft and transmission gear on the support frame, and using synchronous belt pulleys to drive adjacent transmission shafts and driven by a conveyor motor, can achieve stable operation of the conveyor rollers, ensuring smooth movement of goods on the conveyor rollers. At the same time, by setting the meshing transmission of the translation drive gear and the translation rack, combined with the rolling adaptation of the translation rollers on the translation frame with the ground rail and the ceiling rail, and the traction structure of the winch, fixed pulley and cable in the lifting drive assembly, combined with the rolling cooperation of the inner and outer support wheels on the vertical frame with the inner and outer slide rails of the translation frame, can achieve stable translation of the translation frame and stable lifting of the lifting platform, effectively improving the overall stability of the equipment operation and the efficiency of stacking operations.

[0039] 3. This stacking equipment achieves segmented control of the conveyor rollers by setting up multiple evenly distributed conveyor motors. The conveyor rollers work in segments during the process of transporting goods. When the goods need to be transported to the shelf space near the aisle entrance, it is not necessary to start all the conveyor rollers. Only the corresponding segment of the conveyor rollers needs to work, which reduces energy consumption and improves the efficiency of short-distance transportation, making the equipment more flexible and energy-saving to operate.

[0061] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The present invention provides a stacking equipment, including a ground rail 1, a ceiling rail 2, a roller conveyor 3, a stacking machine body, a translation drive assembly 7, and a lifting drive assembly 8. The stacking machine body includes a translation frame 4, a lifting platform 5, and a picking and delivering mechanism 6. The roller conveyor 3 includes a support frame 31 and a conveying roller 33. The support frame 31 is fixedly installed on the ground rail 1, and the conveying roller 33 is rotatably installed above the support frame 31 for conveying goods to move horizontally.

[0064] The lifting platform 5 includes a vertical frame 51 and a horizontal frame 52. The vertical frame 51 is symmetrically fixed at both ends of the horizontal frame 52. When the lifting platform 5 moves downward, the horizontal frame 52 and the picking and delivering mechanism 6 can be inserted between two adjacent conveying rollers 33 respectively. When the horizontal frame 52 contacts the support frame 31, the height of the upper surface of the picking and delivering mechanism 6 is lower than the height of the upper end of the conveying roller 33, so that when the goods move on the conveying roller 33, they can move to the top of the picking and delivering mechanism 6.

[0065] The translation drive assembly 7 is used to drive the translation frame 4 to move horizontally on the top rail 2 and the ground rail 1, so that the translation frame 4 moves to the vertical corresponding position of the shelf space;

[0066] The lifting drive assembly 8 is used to drive the lifting platform 5 to move up and down on the translation frame 4, and to control the height of the picking and delivering mechanism 6. The picking and delivering mechanism 6 is installed on the lifting platform 5 and is used to move the goods laterally to the shelf space.

[0067] As can be seen from the above, the ground rail 1 and the ceiling rail 2 constitute the track frame for the horizontal movement of the equipment, providing a stable movement path for the translation frame 4. The roller conveyor 3 is fixed to the ground rail 1 by the support frame 31. The rotation of the conveyor rollers 33 realizes the horizontal transport of goods, transporting the goods to the predetermined position. The translation drive component 7 drives the translation frame 4 to move along the ceiling rail 2 and the ground rail 1, accurately positioning it directly below the target shelf space. The lifting drive component 8 controls the lifting platform 5 to move up and down on the translation frame 4. By adjusting the height of the vertical frame 51 and the horizontal frame 52, the picking and delivering mechanism 6 can be inserted into the gap of the conveyor rollers 33 to receive the goods at a height lower than the conveyor rollers 33, ensuring the smooth transfer of goods from the conveyor rollers 33 to the picking and delivering mechanism 6. After the goods move to the picking and delivering mechanism 6, the lifting drive component 8 controls the lifting platform 5 to move up to the side of the opening end of the target shelf space, and then the picking and delivering mechanism 6 places the goods into the target shelf space.

[0068] In this embodiment, the bottom plate of the shelf space should have a groove for accommodating the picking and delivery mechanism 6. When the goods are moved into the shelf space, the picking and delivery mechanism 6 can be moved down so that the goods come into contact with the bottom plate of the shelf space, and the picking and delivery mechanism 6 can move outward from the groove at the bottom of the shelf space after separating from the goods.

[0069] When using this device, firstly, the goods to be stacked are placed on the conveyor rollers 33 of the roller conveyor 3. The conveyor rollers 33 are started to horizontally transport the goods to a position near the target shelf space in the aisle of the automated warehouse. Then, according to the position of the target shelf space, the translation drive component 7 controls the translation frame 4 to move on the overhead rail 2 and the ground rail 1, so that the translation frame 4 is in the vertical corresponding position of the target shelf space. Next, the lifting drive component 8 drives the lifting platform 5 to descend, and the horizontal frame 52 and the picking and delivering mechanism 6 are inserted between the adjacent conveyor rollers 33. When the horizontal frame 52 contacts the support frame 31, the height of the picking and delivering mechanism 6 is lower than that of the conveyor rollers 33. The conveyor rollers 33 continue to run, and the goods can be moved smoothly and quickly to the top of the picking and delivering mechanism 6. Then, the lifting drive component 8 controls the lifting platform 5 to rise to the height of the target shelf space, and the picking and delivering mechanism 6 moves the goods horizontally to accurately place the goods into the shelf space, completing one stacking operation.

[0070] Example 2

[0071] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the delivery and pickup mechanism 6 includes a mounting plate 61, a lower guide shaft 62, a lower threaded rod 63, a lower drive motor 64, a translation plate 65, an upper guide shaft 66, an upper threaded rod 67, an upper drive motor 68, and a carrying plate 69. The mounting plate 61 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal frame 52. Both ends of the lower guide shaft 62 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 61. Both ends of the lower threaded rod 63 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 61. The lower drive motor 64 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 61, and the drive end of the lower drive motor 64 is connected to the lower threaded rod. 63 is fixedly connected, the translation plate 65 is slidably connected to the lower guide shaft 62, and the translation plate 65 is threadedly connected to the lower threaded rod 63. The two ends of the upper guide shaft 66 are fixedly connected to the translation plate 65, and the two ends of the upper threaded rod 67 are rotatably connected to the translation plate 65. The upper drive motor 68 is fixedly installed on the translation plate 65, and the drive end of the upper drive motor 68 is fixedly connected to the upper threaded rod 67. The carrying plate 69 is slidably connected to the upper guide shaft 66, and the carrying plate 69 is threadedly connected to the upper threaded rod 67. The sliding direction of the carrying plate 69 is the same as the sliding direction of the translation plate 65.

[0072] As can be seen from the above, the lower drive motor 64 drives the lower threaded rod 63 to rotate. Under the action of threaded transmission, the translation plate 65 slides smoothly along the lower guide shaft 62, realizing the first translation of the picking and delivering mechanism 6 in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the upper drive motor 68 drives the upper threaded rod 67 to rotate, and the carrying plate 69 slides along the upper guide shaft 66, realizing the second translation of the goods. The two translations can effectively extend the translation distance, so that the goods can be completely placed inside the target shelf space. Meanwhile, the lower guide shaft 62 and the upper guide shaft 66 provide guidance and support for the translation plate 65 and the carrying plate 69, respectively, to ensure the stability and accuracy of the translation process.

[0073] A stop 610 is fixedly installed at one end of the upper surface of the loading plate 69, and a limit switch 611 is provided on the stop 610.

[0074] As can be seen from the above, the stop block 610 can block the goods and prevent them from sliding out due to inertia during the translation of the carrying plate 69, thus ensuring the safety of the goods handling; when the goods move above the carrying plate 69, the limit switch 611 first drives the upper threaded rod 67 to rotate through the upper drive motor 68, so that the limit switch 611 contacts the side of the goods, thereby determining the position of the goods and using it to determine the placement depth when the goods are placed in the shelf space.

[0075] Example 3

[0076] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that a bearing seat 32 is fixedly installed on the support frame 31, a drive shaft 34 is fixedly installed on the conveying roller 33, the two ends of the drive shaft 34 are rotatably installed between the bearing seats 32, a transmission shaft 35 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the support frame 31, a transmission gear 36 is fixedly installed on both the transmission shaft 35 and the drive shaft 34, and the transmission shaft 35 and the drive shaft 34 are driven by the meshing of the transmission gear 36. A synchronous pulley 37 is provided between adjacent transmission shafts 35, and the transmission shafts 35 are connected by the synchronous pulley 37.

[0077] As can be seen from the above, by setting the bearing seat 32, the main body of the conveyor roller 33 is positioned above the support frame 31, thereby providing the picking and delivering mechanism 6 with more downward space. This ensures that after the horizontal frame 52 contacts the support frame 31, the distance between the carrying plate 69 and the upper end of the conveyor roller 33 is sufficiently large. By setting the drive shaft 35 and the drive gear 36, the conveyor roller 33 and the drive shaft 35 rotate synchronously. By setting the synchronous pulley 37, the associated drive shaft 35 can rotate synchronously, ensuring that the goods are subjected to uniform force during the conveying process. This prevents the goods from shifting, jamming, or being damaged due to inconsistent rotation speeds of the conveyor rollers 33, thus ensuring the smooth conveying of goods on the roller conveyor 3.

[0078] A conveyor motor 38 is fixedly installed on the support frame 31. The conveyor motors 38 are evenly distributed on one side of the support frame 31 and are connected to the adjacent drive shaft 35.

[0079] As can be seen from the above, by setting multiple evenly distributed conveyor motors 38 to drive the corresponding transmission shafts 35 respectively, the segmented control of the conveyor rollers 33 can be realized. When it is necessary to transport goods to the shelf space near the aisle entrance, only the corresponding segment of the conveyor motor 38 needs to be started to drive the section of the conveyor rollers 33 to work. It is not necessary for all the conveyor rollers 33 to run, which saves energy and can be flexibly adjusted according to the goods conveying distance, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0080] Example 4

[0081] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the translation drive assembly 7 includes a translation drive motor 71, a translation drive gear 72, and a translation rack 73. The translation drive motor 71 is fixedly mounted on the translation frame 4, the translation drive gear 72 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the translation drive motor 71, and the translation rack 73 is fixedly mounted on the side of the support frame 31, and the translation rack 73 is meshed with the translation drive gear 72.

[0082] As can be seen from the above, by setting the translation drive motor 71 to control the rotation of the translation drive gear 72, since the translation drive gear 72 meshes with the translation rack 73 fixed on the side of the support frame 31, the rotational motion of the translation drive gear 72 can be converted into the horizontal linear motion of the translation frame 4 along the overhead track 2 and the ground track 1.

[0083] The translation frame 4 is equipped with translation rollers 41 on both sides at the top and bottom ends. The translation rollers 41 are adapted to roll with the ground rail 1 and the ceiling rail 2 respectively.

[0084] As can be seen from the above, by setting the translation rollers 41 to roll in contact with the ground rail 1 and the ceiling rail 2, the sliding friction between the translation frame 4 and the rails is converted into rolling friction, thereby reducing frictional resistance and reducing the energy consumption of the equipment. At the same time, multiple translation rollers 41 are evenly distributed on both sides of the upper and lower ends of the translation frame 4 to form a multi-point support structure, ensuring the balance and stability of the translation frame 4 during the movement process and avoiding the falling of goods or damage to the equipment due to shaking.

[0085] The lifting drive assembly 8 includes a winch 81, a fixed pulley 82, and a cable 83. The winch 81 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the translation frame 4 facing the output end of the roller conveyor 3. The fixed pulley 82 is installed on the top of the translation frame 4. The cable 83 is installed on the winding and feeding end of the feeding equipment, and the cable 83 passes around the fixed pulley 82 and is fixedly connected to the end of the vertical frame 51.

[0086] As can be seen from the above, when the winch 81 winds up the cable 83, the cable 83 passes over the fixed pulley 82 and applies an upward pulling force, which drives the vertical frame 51 and the horizontal frame 52 to rise, lifting the delivery mechanism 6 and the goods to the target shelf height; when the winch 81 unwinds the cable 83, the elevator platform 5 descends under its own weight, while the fixed pulley 82 changes the direction of the cable 83's pulling force, so that the vertical frame 51 rises and falls at the same speed, ensuring the stability of the elevator platform 5's lifting and moving.

[0087] The lifting drive assembly 8 also includes an inner support wheel 84 and an outer support wheel 85. Both the inner support wheel 84 and the outer support wheel 85 are mounted on the vertical frame 51. The two side walls of the translation frame 4 are respectively provided with an inner slide rail 42 and an outer slide rail 43. The inner slide rail 42 is roll-fitted with the inner support wheel 84, and the outer slide rail 43 is roll-fitted with the outer support wheel 85.

[0088] As can be seen from the above, the inner support wheel 84 and the outer support wheel 85 roll in cooperation with the inner slide rail 42 and the outer slide rail 43 of the translation frame 4, respectively, to provide guidance and support for the lifting movement of the elevator platform 5. During the lifting process of the elevator platform 5, the inner support wheel 84 and the outer support wheel 85 restrict the horizontal deviation and swaying of the elevator platform 5, ensuring that the elevator platform 5 runs smoothly in the vertical direction and avoiding the goods falling or the pickup and delivery mechanism 6 colliding with the shelf due to swaying.

[0089] Example 5

[0090] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 12 The present invention also discloses a method for producing composite flooring, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0091] When storing semi-finished composite flooring during the processing, the products to be stacked are placed in the loading and unloading area of ​​roller conveyor 3. Roller conveyor 3 transports the products to the shelf space to be placed in a position close to the vertical direction. When the front end of the product approaches the end point of the roller conveyor 3, the roller conveyor 3 is controlled to decelerate so that the product can smoothly reach the designated position.

[0092] The translation drive assembly 7 moves the translation frame 4 to the corresponding position in the vertical direction of the shelf where the product is to be placed. Then, the lifting drive assembly 8 is activated to control the lifting platform 5 to move down, so that the height of the upper surface of the picking and delivering mechanism 6 is lower than the height of the upper end of the conveyor roller 33, in preparation for receiving the floor.

[0093] The product continues to move via roller conveyor 3, moving it above the picking and delivering mechanism 6. When the product reaches the designated position, roller conveyor 3 stops operating.

[0094] The lifting platform 5 is moved upward by the lifting drive component 8 to reach the height of the shelf where the products are placed.

[0095] Activate the pickup and delivery mechanism 6 to move the product laterally into the interior of the shelf space;

[0096] After the product is placed, the lifting drive component 8 controls the lifting platform 5 to move down a certain height, so that the product is supported by the shelf and the picking and delivery mechanism 6 is separated from the product. Then the picking and delivery mechanism 6 is retracted to the initial position.

[0097] While the elevator platform 5 takes away the product and places it into the shelf space, the roller conveyor 3 simultaneously transports the next set of products to be stacked to a position close to the shelf space in the vertical direction, thus achieving continuous and efficient stacking operations.

[0098] When it is necessary to remove the product for further processing, the translation drive component 7 controls the translation frame 4 to move to the vertical corresponding position of the shelf space where the target product is located;

[0099] Start the lifting drive assembly 8 to drive the lifting platform 5 to rise and fall, so that the height of the picking and delivering mechanism 6 is lower than the bottom of the products on the shelf;

[0100] The product is removed from the shelf by the operation of the picking and delivery mechanism 6 and the lifting drive assembly 8;

[0101] The lifting platform 5 is lowered by the lifting drive component 8 so that the picking and delivering mechanism 6 is lower than the conveyor roller 33, and the product is placed smoothly on the conveyor roller 33 of the roller conveyor 3.

[0102] Start roller conveyor 3 to transport the product to the loading and unloading area and complete the product removal process.

[0103] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
