Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of loading equipment, specifically to a loading equipment for unassembled parts. Background Technology

[0002] In current automated loading equipment, the loading of loose materials mainly adopts methods such as single-item loading, full-row loading, or half-row loading by robotic arms. To improve loading efficiency, the system often uses a stacking mechanism to pre-stack multiple materials before loading them as a whole.

[0003] However, existing loading equipment generally uses a conveyor to directly input materials into the middle of the stacking mechanism, and then a lever on the stacking platform pushes the materials to the sides. This results in the levers needing a long stroke to move the material in the middle to the outermost side when stacking multiple materials, or it needs to push multiple parallel materials on the stacking platform to the side together. This leads to low material pushing efficiency or high pushing pressure, resulting in low efficiency in parallel material preparation before stacking. Furthermore, existing conveyors and stacking mechanisms lack limiting and guiding functions for materials. When stacking more than two materials, the conveyor cannot effectively align the materials before stacking, resulting in uneven material arrangement. This leads to the materials being deformed by oblique compression during stacking, or even causing materials to fall out of the stack. It is clear that existing loading equipment cannot achieve efficient and neat stacking operations, resulting in low loading efficiency and effectiveness.

[0004] The research objective of this invention is to design a component loading device to address the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a component loading device that can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] This invention is implemented as follows:

[0007] A component loading device, comprising:

[0008] A feeding mechanism includes a conveyor line for longitudinal feeding, the conveyor line having at least two adjusting members, each adjusting member including a guide section and an orientation section sequentially distributed along the longitudinal feeding direction and movably connected at one end, the two orientation sections extending longitudinally and forming an orientation zone for longitudinal guidance between them, the two guide sections forming a guide zone for guiding material to the orientation zone, the other end of the guide section being movably connected to the conveyor line, the two orientation sections being driven laterally by a lateral movement drive device to adjust the lateral width and lateral position of the orientation zone;

[0009] The stacking mechanism includes a stacking platform extending laterally and docking with the conveyor line, stacking components movably disposed on both sides of the stacking platform and driven by a stacking drive device, a material blocking component disposed on the side of the stacking platform away from the conveyor line, and a material pushing component driven laterally by a material pushing drive device for laterally pushing material; the position of the material input to the stacking platform is adjusted by the lateral position change of the orientation zone, the material pushing component is used to laterally push the material input to the stacking platform with a short stroke to form stacked material, and the stacking components on both sides are used to laterally move and stack the stacked material to form stacked material.

[0010] The discharge mechanism is used to output the stacked materials on the stacking platform;

[0011] The loading mechanism is used to receive the stacked materials and unload them onto the vehicle.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveyor line includes a conveyor frame and a plurality of conveyor rollers rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame by a conveyor drive device. The length of the guide section is greater than the length of the orientation section. One end of the guide section and the orientation section are laterally rotatably connected. The other ends of the two guide sections are respectively longitudinally slidably mounted on both sides of the conveyor frame. The lateral movement drive device includes a lateral movement seat laterally mounted in the conveyor frame and two support frames laterally slidably connected to the lateral movement seat and respectively driven to lateral movement by a lateral movement drive member. The upper ends of the two support frames pass through the gap between the conveyor rollers and connect the opposite sides of the two orientation sections.

[0013] Furthermore, the middle of the stacking platform is provided with several movable rollers that are longitudinally spaced and correspond to the conveying rollers. The material feeding drive device includes a material feeding seat located below the stacking platform. The number of material feeding components is set to two. The two material feeding components are laterally slidably connected to the material feeding seat and are driven to move laterally by the material feeding drive component. Both material feeding components include material feeding claws that extend upward through the gap between the movable rollers to the top of the stacking platform. The two material feeding components are used to move laterally together to feed material, or to move laterally in opposite directions to feed material to create space on the stacking platform corresponding to the orientation area.

[0014] Furthermore, the feeding component also includes a base plate that is laterally arranged and slidably connected to the feeding seat, and a support plate that is vertically arranged on the top of the base plate. Several vertical plates are vertically arranged between the opposite sides of the two support plates and the corresponding top of the base plate. Several horizontal plates are vertically arranged between the support plates and the vertical plates. The feeding claws of the two feeding components each include several first claws and several second claws arranged on the upper part of the two support plates. The several first claws and several second claws are offset towards each other laterally and staggered along the longitudinal direction. After the two feeding components move laterally towards each other and merge, the upper ends of the several first claws and several second claws are coaxially arranged along the longitudinal direction to form a complete shift fork that penetrates the gap between the several movable rollers.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a movable vehicle body. The feeding mechanism, the stacking mechanism, and the loading mechanism are sequentially arranged on the vehicle body from back to front. An movable gap is provided between the conveyor line and the stacking platform. The material stop is vertically adjustable. The discharge mechanism includes telescopic drive devices located on both sides of the conveyor line and whose rear ends are rotatably connected to the vehicle body to form rotation points, a pusher that is horizontally arranged and connected to the front telescopic rods of the two telescopic drive devices, a lifting seat connected to the bottom of the front ends of the two telescopic drive devices, and a lifting drive device. The lifting drive device is used to drive the lifting seat to swing up to the movable gap or drive the lifting seat to swing down. The height of the two rotation points is higher than the height of the conveyor line. After the material stop descends and the lifting seat swings up to the movable gap, the front ends of the two telescopic drive devices swing up until the pusher is higher than the stacking platform. The pusher is used to push the stacked material forward and output it under the drive of the telescopic rods.

[0016] Furthermore, the lifting drive device is located below the lifting seat and its upper and lower ends are rotatably connected to the lifting seat and the vehicle body, respectively. A fixed frame connecting the vehicle body is provided at the bottom of the stacking platform. The material feeding seat is slidably disposed within the fixed frame. The stacking mechanism also includes a lifting drive device rotatably connected to the material feeding seat and the vehicle body at its upper and lower ends, a linkage component movably connected to the material feeding seat and the lifting seat at its front and rear ends, and rotatably connected to the fixed frame at its middle side to form a fulcrum. The lower end of the material stop component is linked to the material feeding seat. When the lifting drive device drives the material feeding seat to rise, the upper end of the material feeding claw... The material blocking component extends through the gap between the movable rollers to the top of the stacking platform. The material blocking component rises and stops at the front of the stacking platform. The lifting seat is driven to swing downward by the lifting drive device. The weight of the telescopic drive device and the lifting seat presses down on the rear end of the linkage component so that the front end of the linkage component assists in supporting the material feeding seat. When the lifting drive device drives the material feeding seat to descend, the material feeding claw and the material blocking component descend to make way. The lifting seat is driven to swing upward to the movable gap by the lifting drive device. The weight of the material feeding seat, the material feeding component, and the material blocking component presses down on the front end of the linkage component so that the rear end of the linkage component assists in supporting the lifting seat.

[0017] Furthermore, the pusher is plate-shaped, and there are two telescopic rods on each side, which are distributed laterally at intervals. The front end of the telescopic drive device is provided with two guide sleeves that extend forward and backward. The front ends of the two telescopic rods on each side are respectively connected to the pusher, and the rear ends slide through the two guide sleeves and are connected by a connecting plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of both ends of the lifting seat is provided with connecting parts that extend backward and downward. The rear part of the connecting parts is provided with several guide wheels that rotate laterally. The several guide wheels are arranged vertically at intervals, and the several guide wheels on both sides are rolled and clamped to the outer walls of the two sides of the conveyor frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the two stacking components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stacking platform. Each stacking component includes a stacking horizontal part that is slidably fitted into the side of the stacking platform at one end, and a stacking vertical part that is vertically arranged at the other end of the stacking horizontal part and protrudes from the stacking platform at the upper end. The stacking driving device is arranged in the stacking platform and is used to drive the stacking components on both sides to move towards each other or in opposite directions.

[0020] Furthermore, the loading mechanism includes a material-collecting platform, an unloading component, a receiving tongue, a material-collecting component, and a lifting device located on the front side of the vehicle body for driving the material-collecting platform to rise and fall. The material-collecting platform extends laterally and is lower than the stacking platform. There are two material-collecting components, each including a horizontal material-collecting portion that slides laterally at one end within the side of the material-collecting platform and a vertical material-collecting portion located at the other end of the horizontal material-collecting portion and protruding from the material-collecting platform at its upper end. The two material-collecting components are driven by the material-collecting driving device to move towards each other or in opposite directions. The unloading component slides longitudinally on the top of the material-collecting platform and is flush with the stacking platform. The receiving tongue slides back and forth on the bottom of the material-collecting platform and is driven to extend and retract back and forth by the receiving driving device. The two vertical material-collecting portions are used to clamp the stacked materials towards each other and center the material-collecting component. The material-collecting platform is used to receive the stacked materials. The unloading component is driven by the unloading driving device and is used to push the stacked materials on the material-collecting platform to unload.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] 1. By adding an adjustment component, the material can not only be guided to the orientation area by the guide area and then longitudinally oriented into the stacking platform, but also its position can be quickly adjusted by changing the lateral position of the orientation area. This greatly shortens the lateral feeding stroke and feeding pressure of the feeding component when there are many materials to be stacked, thereby improving the stacking efficiency. For example, when there are five materials to be stacked, the orientation area can be adjusted to one side and the other side of the lateral direction and two materials can be fed in each side. After the feeding component moves to the corresponding position, it can be moved back and forth twice to one side and the other side of the lateral direction to complete the feeding and stacking work on both sides of the stacking platform. Each back and forth movement is only the width of one material. The second push only pushes two overlapping materials on one side, thereby shortening the lateral feeding stroke and feeding pressure of the feeding component. Finally, the orientation area is adjusted to the middle side for feeding, and the stacking of five materials is quickly completed. Furthermore, the material input is guided longitudinally by the orientation zone, and the material movement is guided laterally by the baffle, so that the material input and lateral material movement are both limited and guided during the process of material input and lateral material movement. This ensures that multiple materials are aligned after being laterally moved on the lateral material movement platform, thereby improving the lateral material movement effect and thus improving the loading effect of the lateral material movement.

[0023] 2. By extending the guide section and sliding the other end of the guide section longitudinally, when the directional section moves laterally to adjust the position of the directional area, the guide section and the directional area adjust accordingly. After the guide section is driven, one end will only swing slightly and the other end will only slide longitudinally a short distance. This avoids the guide section from swinging and displacing significantly due to the lateral adjustment of the directional section, which would cause the directional area to guide the material in an extremely unstable manner, resulting in the material being significantly skewed, jammed, or generating a lot of friction with the conveyor rollers. Furthermore, the support frame and lateral shift seat improve the stability of the lateral shift drive device driving the directional section to move laterally, and also improve the stability of the adjustment components.

[0024] 3. By setting two feeding claws, during the process of merging several materials, before the last material is fed, the two feeding claws can move laterally in opposite directions to free up sufficient feeding space for the last material to be fed. This avoids the situation where the last material cannot enter the stacking table and gets stuck due to material width error, feeding error, etc., and ensures the stability of several materials being fed one by one onto the stacking table for lateral side-by-side merging, ensuring the material merging effect and efficiency.

[0025] 4. By adding vertical and horizontal plates, the support strength on the opposite sides of the two support plates is improved, thereby increasing the overall structural strength of the material-pushing component. Furthermore, by offsetting the first and second claws towards each other, after the two material-pushing components move laterally and merge, the upper ends of several first and second claws are coaxially arranged longitudinally to form a complete fork that penetrates the gap between several movable rollers. This allows the two material-pushing components to combine into a complete fork for lateral material pushing, increasing the material pushing area without increasing the thickness of the claws. This avoids excessively thick claws occupying too much lateral space and improves the structural compactness of the combined first and second claws. Combined with the support and clamping of the vertical and horizontal plates, the shear and compressive strength of the material-pushing component during lateral material pushing can be greatly improved. After the two material-pushing components move laterally in opposite directions, they can also separate and push material in opposite directions to make room. Under the premise of realizing the functionality of the two material-pushing components, the structural strength and structural compactness of the two material-pushing components are improved.

[0026] 5. By rotating the telescopic drive device, when the stopper descends and the lifting seat swings up to the movable gap, the front ends of the two telescopic drive devices swing up until the pusher is higher than the stacking platform. The pusher is driven forward by the telescopic rod to push the stacked material out, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the stacked material through a one-time push. Furthermore, the movable gap and the lifting seat design allow the telescopic rod of the telescopic drive device to swing down after retracting, avoiding interference with material transport between the conveyor line and the stacking platform. When discharge is needed, the lifting seat can quickly swing the pusher up to above the stacking platform, allowing the pusher to extend forward and push the stacked material to the loading mechanism in one go, ensuring both pushing efficiency and effect.

[0027] 6. The lifting drive device drives the material-pushing seat to rise and fall simultaneously, thereby driving the material-pushing component and the material-blocking component to rise and fall in sync. Before the material-pushing component pushes the material, the material-pushing component and the material-blocking component can be lowered together to make room, so that the installation position of the telescopic drive device can be appropriately lowered. The height of the material-pushing component only needs to be higher than the stacking platform, which can improve the structural strength of the telescopic drive device after installation, and improve the shear resistance and support strength. Furthermore, by adding fulcrums and linkage components, the up-and-down swing of the telescopic drive device and the up-and-down lifting of the material-pushing component and the material-blocking component can be linked together. The two lift and fall alternately, which can reduce the need for sensor detection and reduce the cost of electrical control. At the same time, when the loading mechanism performs material stacking, when the lifting drive device drives the material-pushing seat to rise, the upper end of the material-pushing claw passes through the gap of the movable roller to the top of the stacking platform. The material-blocking component rises and stops at the front side of the stacking platform. The lifting seat is driven to swing down by the lifting drive device. The weight of the telescopic drive device and the lifting seat presses down on the rear end of the linkage component to achieve linkage. The front end of the component is supported by a material-pushing seat. During the material feeding process, not only is the material-pushing seat supported by the lifting drive device, but the weight of the two telescopic drive devices and the lifting seat also presses down on the rear end of the linkage component, causing the front end of the linkage component to also push up to support the material-pushing seat. This further improves the support strength of the material-pushing seat and reduces the support pressure of the lifting drive device. When the lifting drive device drives the material-pushing seat to descend, the material-pushing claw and the material-stopping component descend to make room. The lifting seat is driven by the lifting drive device to swing upward to the movable gap. The weight of the material-pushing seat, the material-pushing component, and the material-stopping component presses down on the front end of the linkage component, causing the rear end of the linkage component to also support the lifting seat. This further improves the support strength of the lifting seat and reduces the support pressure of the lifting drive device. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Reference Figure 1-8 As shown, a component loading device includes:

[0040] The feeding mechanism 1 includes a conveyor line 11 for longitudinal feeding. The conveyor line 11 is provided with at least two adjusting members 12. Each adjusting member 12 includes a guide section 121 and an orientation section 122 that are sequentially distributed along the longitudinal feeding direction and movably connected at one end. The two orientation sections 122 extend longitudinally and form an orientation area 13 for longitudinal guidance between them. A guide area 14 for guiding the material to the orientation area 13 is formed between the two guide sections 121. The other end of the guide section 121 is movably connected to the conveyor line 11. The two orientation sections 122 are driven to move laterally by a lateral movement drive device 15 and are used to adjust the lateral width and lateral position of the orientation area 13.

[0041] The stacking mechanism 2 includes a stacking platform 21 that extends laterally and connects to the conveyor line 11, stacking components 22 that are movably disposed on both sides of the stacking platform 21 and driven by a stacking drive device, a material blocking component 23 that is disposed on the side of the stacking platform 21 away from the conveyor line 11, and a material pushing component 24 that is driven laterally by a material pushing drive device 25 and used for lateral material pushing; the position of the material input to the stacking platform 21 is adjusted by the lateral position change of the orientation zone 13, the material pushing component 24 is used to laterally push the material input to the stacking platform 21 with a short stroke to form stacked material, and the stacking components 22 on both sides are used to laterally move and stack the stacked material to form stacked material.

[0042] The discharge mechanism 3 is used to output the stacked materials on the stacking platform 21;

[0043] Loading mechanism 4 is used to receive the stacked materials and unload them onto a vehicle.

[0044] The above structure, through the addition of the adjusting component 12, allows the material to not only be guided by the guiding area 14 to the orientation area 13 and then longitudinally oriented into the stacking platform 21, but also to quickly adjust the position of the material input into the stacking platform 21 by changing the lateral position of the orientation area 13. This greatly shortens the lateral feeding stroke and feeding pressure of the feeding component 24 when there are many materials to be stacked, thereby improving the material stacking efficiency. For example, when there are five materials to be stacked, the orientation area 13 can be adjusted to one side and the other side laterally and two materials can be fed in respectively. After the feeding component 24 moves to the corresponding position, it can be moved back and forth twice to one side and the other side laterally to complete the feeding and stacking work on both sides of the stacking platform 21. Each back and forth feeding stroke is only the width of one material. The second push only pushes two overlapping materials on one side, thereby shortening the lateral feeding stroke and feeding pressure of the feeding component 24. Finally, the orientation area 13 is adjusted to the middle side for feeding, and the stacking of five materials is quickly completed. Furthermore, the material input is longitudinally guided by the orientation zone 13, and the material movement is laterally guided by the baffle 23. This ensures that the material is guided and limited during the input and lateral material movement of the stacking platform 21, thereby ensuring that multiple materials are aligned after being laterally stacked on the stacking platform 21. This improves the stacking effect and, consequently, the loading effect of the stacked materials.

[0045] To improve the adjustment stability of the adjusting component 12, the conveyor line 11 includes a conveyor frame 111 and a plurality of conveying rollers 112 that are rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame 111 and driven by a conveying drive device. The length of the guide section 121 is greater than the length of the orientation section 122. One end of the guide section 121 and the orientation section 122 are laterally rotatably connected. The other ends of the two guide sections 121 are longitudinally slidably mounted on both sides of the conveyor frame 111. The transverse drive device 15 includes a transverse seat 151 that is laterally mounted in the conveyor frame 111 and two support frames 153 that are laterally slidably connected to the transverse seat 151 and driven to transversely by the transverse drive component 152. The upper ends of the two support frames 153 pass through the gap between the conveying rollers 112 and connect the opposite sides of the two orientation sections 122. The above structure extends the guide section 121 and slides the other end of the guide section 121 longitudinally. When the directional section 122 moves laterally to adjust the position of the directional area 13, the guide section 121 and the directional area 14 adjust accordingly. After the guide section 121 is driven, one end will only swing slightly and the other end will only slide longitudinally a short distance. This avoids the guide section 121 from swinging and displacing significantly due to the lateral adjustment of the directional section 122, which would cause the directional area 14 to guide the material in an extremely unstable manner, resulting in the material being significantly skewed and jammed or generating a lot of friction with the conveyor roller 112. Furthermore, the support frame 153 and the transverse shift seat 151 improve the stability of the transverse shift drive device 15 driving the directional section 122 to move laterally, and improve the stability of the adjustment component 12.

[0046] To ensure the material stacking effect, the stacking platform 21 is provided with a number of movable rollers 211 distributed longitudinally at intervals and corresponding to the conveying rollers 112 in the middle. The material feeding drive device 25 includes a material feeding seat 251 located below the stacking platform 21. The number of material feeding components 24 is set to two. The two material feeding components 24 are laterally slidably connected to the material feeding seat 251 and are driven to move laterally by the material feeding drive component 252 respectively. Both material feeding components 24 include a material feeding claw that extends upward through the gap of the movable rollers 211 to the top of the stacking platform 21. The two material feeding components 24 are used to move laterally together to feed material, or to move laterally in opposite directions to feed material to free up space on the stacking platform 21 corresponding to the orientation area 13. The above structure, by setting two feeding claws, allows the two feeding claws to move laterally in opposite directions before the last material is fed during the process of merging several materials. This frees up sufficient feeding space for the last material to be fed, avoiding the situation where the last material cannot enter the stacking table 21 and gets stuck due to material width error, feeding error, etc. This ensures the stability of several materials being fed one by one onto the stacking table 21 for lateral parallel merging, and ensures the material merging effect and efficiency.

[0047] To improve the structural strength of the material feeding component 24, the material feeding component 24 further includes a base plate 241 that is laterally arranged and slidably connected to the material feeding seat 251, and a support plate 242 that is vertically arranged on the top of the base plate 241. A plurality of vertical plates 243 are vertically arranged between the opposite sides of the two support plates 242 and the corresponding top of the base plate 241. A plurality of horizontal plates 244 are vertically arranged between the support plates 242 and the vertical plates 243. The feeding claws of the two material feeding components 24 respectively include a plurality of first claws 245 and a plurality of second claws 246 arranged on the upper end of the two support plates 242. The plurality of first claws 245 and the plurality of second claws 246 are offset from each other laterally and staggered longitudinally. Specifically, the number of first claws 245 and second claws 246 is set to three and four, respectively. The above structure, through the addition of vertical plate 243 and horizontal plate 244, improves the support strength on the opposite sides of the two support plates 242, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the material-pulling component 24. Furthermore, by offsetting the first claw 245 and the second claw 246 towards each other, after the two material-pulling components 24 move laterally towards each other and merge, the upper ends of several first claws 245 and several second claws 246 are coaxially arranged longitudinally to form a complete fork penetrating the gap between several movable rollers 211. This allows the two material-pulling components 24 to combine into a complete fork for operation. The lateral material feeding method increases the feeding area without increasing the thickness of the claws, thus avoiding excessive thickness of the claws occupying too much lateral space. This improves the structural compactness of the combined first claw 245 and second claw 246. Combined with the support and clamping of the vertical plate 243 and the horizontal plate 244, it can greatly improve the shear and compressive strength of the feeding component 24 during lateral material feeding. After the two feeding components 24 move laterally in opposite directions, they can be separated and fed in opposite directions to make room. Under the premise of realizing the functionality of the two feeding components 24, the structural strength and structural compactness of the two feeding components 24 are improved.

[0048] When faced with long carriages, the loading equipment needs to enter the carriage for row-by-row loading. Therefore, it also includes a movable carriage body 5. The feeding mechanism 1, the stacking mechanism 2, and the loading mechanism 4 are arranged sequentially from back to front on the carriage body 5. To improve the discharge efficiency of stacked materials, an movable gap is provided between the conveyor line 11 and the stacking platform 21. The material stop 23 can be raised and lowered. The discharge mechanism 3 includes telescopic drive devices 31 located on both sides of the conveyor line 11 and whose rear ends are rotatably connected to the carriage body 5 to form a rotation point; a pusher 32 arranged laterally and connected to the front telescopic rods 311 of the two telescopic drive devices 31; a lifting seat 33 connected to the bottom of the front ends of the two telescopic drive devices 31; and a lifting drive device 34. The actuator 34 is used to drive the lifting seat 33 to swing up to the movable gap or swing down. The height of the two rotating points is higher than the height of the conveyor line 11. Specifically, the baffle 23 can be driven to lift up by a drive cylinder. After the lifting seat 33 swings up, the height of the pusher 32 is higher than the upper end of the pusher 24 to avoid interference. The above structure, through the rotating telescopic drive device 31, realizes that when the baffle 23 descends and the lifting seat 33 swings up to the movable gap, the front ends of the two telescopic drive devices 31 swing up until the pusher 32 is higher than the stacking platform 21. The pusher 32 is used to push the stacked material forward by the telescopic rod 311, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the stacked material through the one-time push of the pusher 32. Furthermore, through the setting of the movable gap and the lifting seat 33, the telescopic rod 311 of the telescopic drive device 31 can swing down to make way after retraction, thereby avoiding interference with the material conveying between the conveyor line 11 and the stacking platform 21. When material needs to be discharged, the lifting seat 33 can quickly drive the pusher 32 to swing up above the stacking platform 21, so that the pusher 32 can extend forward to push the stacked material to the loading mechanism 4 in one go, thereby ensuring the pushing efficiency and pushing effect.

[0049] To improve the stability of the pusher 32, the pusher 32 is plate-shaped, with two telescopic rods 311 on each side, spaced laterally. The front end of the telescopic drive device 31 has two extending guide sleeves 312. The front ends of the two telescopic rods 311 on each side are connected to the pusher 32, and their rear ends slide through the two guide sleeves 312 and are connected by a connecting plate 313. This structure improves the telescopic stability of the telescopic rods 311 by using guide sleeves 312, enhances the connection stability with both sides of the pusher 32 by increasing the number of telescopic rods 311 on each side, thereby improving the stability of the telescopic drive device 31 in driving the pusher 32 to extend and retract. Furthermore, the plate-shaped pusher 32 increases its contact area with the stacked materials, further improving the stability of the pusher 32.

[0050] To improve the stability of the lifting seat 33 during lifting, the bottom of both ends of the lifting seat 33 is provided with connecting members 331 that extend backward and then downward. The rear part of the connecting member 331 is provided with several guide wheels 332 that rotate laterally. These guide wheels 332 are spaced vertically, and the guide wheels 332 on both sides are rolled and clamped against the outer walls of the conveyor frame 111 on both sides. This structure, through the rolling clamping of the conveyor frame 111 by the guide wheels 332, provides stable guidance for the swinging and lifting of the lifting seat 33, thereby improving the stability of the swinging and lifting of the lifting seat 33. This, in turn, improves the stability of the front section of the telescopic drive device 31 and the pushing member 32 during swinging and lifting, preventing lateral deviation that could cause the pushing member 32 to have difficulty passing through the movement gap and rising above the stacking platform 21, or causing jamming due to the pushing member 32 pushing the stacked materials at an angle. This ensures the pushing effect and stability of the pushing member 32.

[0051] To improve the adaptability of the stacking mechanism 2, two stacking components 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stacking platform 21. Each stacking component 22 includes a stacking horizontal portion 221 that is laterally slidably fitted into the side of the stacking platform 21 at one end, and a stacking vertical portion 222 that is vertically arranged at the other end of the stacking horizontal portion 221 and protrudes from the stacking platform 21 at the upper end. The stacking drive device is located inside the stacking platform 21 and is used to drive the stacking components 22 on both sides to move towards each other or in opposite directions. This structure, through the addition of the stacking horizontal portion 221, allows the overall left and right stacking width of the stacking mechanism 2 to be adjusted by extending and retracting the stacking horizontal portions 221 on both sides when the size or quantity of a single material changes, causing a change in the width of the stacked material. This adapts to the width of the stacked material, thereby improving the stacking adaptability of the stacking mechanism 2.

[0052] To improve the adaptability of the loading mechanism 4, the loading mechanism 4 includes a material leveling platform 41, an unloading component 42, a receiving tongue plate 43, a material leveling component 44, and a lifting device 45 located on the front side of the vehicle body 5 for driving the material leveling platform 41 to rise and fall. The material leveling platform 41 extends laterally and is lower than the stacking platform 21. There are two material leveling components 44, each including a material leveling horizontal part 441 that is laterally slidably fitted into the side of the material leveling platform 41 at one end, and a material leveling vertical part 442 that is vertically located at the other end of the material leveling horizontal part 441 and protrudes above the material leveling platform 41 at the upper end. The two material-forming components 44 are driven by the material-forming drive device to move towards or away from each other. The unloading component 42 is longitudinally slidably disposed on the top of the material-forming platform 41 and flush with the stacking platform 21. The receiving tongue plate 43 is slidably disposed on the bottom of the material-forming platform 41 and is driven to extend and retract back and forth by the receiving drive device. The two vertical material-forming parts 442 are used to clamp the stacked materials facing each other and center the material-forming components. The material-forming platform 41 is used to receive the stacked materials. The unloading component 42 is driven by the unloading drive device and is used to push the stacked materials on the material-forming platform 41 to unload them. The above structure, through the addition of the horizontal material-forming parts 441, allows the overall material-forming width of the loading mechanism 4 to be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the horizontal material-forming parts 441 on both sides to adapt to the width of the stacked materials, thereby improving the adaptability of the loading mechanism 4. Furthermore, the receiving tongue 43 allows the unloading component 42 to push the material on the material handling platform 41 to unload. The receiving tongue 43 extends forward, forming a buffer step between the material handling platform 41 and the car floor 241. This buffers the material before it is unloaded onto the car floor 241, preventing excessive displacement or overturning of the stacked material and improving the stability of the unloading. After the material is unloaded, the receiving tongue 43 can be quickly retracted by the unloading component 42 pushing the material forward, preventing the material from being pulled backward and scattered during the retraction process. The retracted receiving tongue 43 and the adjusting tongue extend forward again to push the unloaded material forward, ensuring it is neatly stacked in the car, improving unloading stability and loading efficiency.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] refer to Figure 9-10 In Embodiment 1, the stopper 23 is driven to rise and fall independently by a drive cylinder, while the pusher 24 only moves laterally without rising or falling. This requires the rotation point of the telescopic drive device 31 to be relatively high, and the height of its front end must be higher than the upper end of the pusher claw of the pusher 24. This is to prevent mechanical interference during material pushing. However, this configuration results in a relatively high suspension height of the telescopic drive device 31, leading to weaker support strength and shear resistance. To solve this technical problem, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that:

[0055] The lifting drive device 34 is located below the lifting seat 33 and is rotatably connected to the lifting seat 33 and the vehicle body 5 at its upper and lower ends respectively. The bottom of the stacking platform 21 is provided with a fixed frame 26 for connecting the vehicle body 5. The material feeding seat 251 is slidably disposed in the fixed frame 26. The stacking mechanism 2 also includes a lifting drive device 27 that is rotatably connected to the material feeding seat 251 and the vehicle body 5 at its upper and lower ends respectively, and a linkage member 28 that is movably connected to the material feeding seat 251 and the lifting seat 33 at its front and rear ends respectively and is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 26 at its middle side to form a fulcrum. The lower end of the material blocking member 23 is linked to the material feeding seat 251.

[0056] The above structure uses a lifting drive device 27 to drive the material feeding seat 251 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the material feeding component 24 and the material blocking component 23 to rise and fall simultaneously. Before the material pushing component 32 pushes the material, the material feeding component 24 and the material blocking component 23 can be lowered together to make room, so that the installation position of the telescopic drive device 31 can be appropriately lowered. The height of the material pushing component 32 only needs to be higher than the stacking platform 21, which can improve the structural strength of the telescopic drive device 31 after installation, and improve its shear resistance and support strength. Furthermore, by adding a fulcrum and a linkage component 28, the up and down swing of the telescopic drive device 31 is synchronized with the material feeding component 24 and the material blocking component 23. The lifting and lowering mechanisms can be linked and alternately raised and lowered, reducing the need for sensor detection and lowering the cost of electrical control. Simultaneously, when the loading mechanism 4 performs material handling, the lifting drive device 27 drives the material feeding seat 251 to rise, and the upper end of the material feeding claw penetrates the gap between the movable roller 211 to the top of the stacking platform 21. The material blocking component 23 rises and blocks the front side of the stacking platform 21. The lifting seat 33 is driven downwards by the lifting drive device 34. The weight of the telescopic drive device 31 and the lifting seat 33 presses down on the rear end of the linkage component 28, causing the front of the linkage component 28 to... The end of the auxiliary support for the material feeding seat 251 enables the material feeding seat 251 to be supported not only by the upward support of the lifting drive device 27 during the material feeding process, but also by the weight of the two telescopic drive devices 31 and the lifting seat 33 pressing down on the rear end of the linkage 28, causing the front end of the linkage 28 to also push upward to provide auxiliary support for the material feeding seat 251, thereby further improving the support strength of the material feeding seat 251 and reducing the support pressure of the lifting drive device 27; when the lifting drive device 27 drives the material feeding seat 251 to descend, the material feeding claw and the material blocking component 23 descend to make way, and the lifting seat 33 is supported by the lifting drive device When the lifting drive device 34 is driven to swing upward to the movable gap, the weight of the material feeding seat 251, the material feeding component 24, and the material blocking component 23 presses down on the front end of the linkage component 28 so that the rear end of the linkage component 28 assists in supporting the lifting seat 33. This achieves that during the material discharge process, not only does the lifting drive device 34 support the lifting seat 33 from above, but the weight of the material feeding seat 251, the material feeding component 24, and the material blocking component 23 also presses down on the front end of the linkage component 28, causing the rear end of the linkage component 28 to also push up to assist in supporting the lifting seat 33. This further improves the support strength of the lifting seat 33 and reduces the support pressure of the lifting drive device 34.
