Generally, poultry transportation needs to load poultry from the breeding farm into the transport container (turnover box or turnover basket, etc.), then the transport container needs to be stacked and loaded onto the vehicle, and then transported to the slaughterhouse. After arriving at the slaughterhouse, the stacked transport container loaded with poultry needs to be unloaded and the poultry needs to be unloaded, and then the empty stacked transport container needs to be loaded and transported away.

The external conveying line is connected between the loaded stacked container output port and the empty stacked container input port. The loaded stacked container is conveyed through the external conveying line and unloaded at the unloading station provided on the external conveying line. The empty stacked container after unloading is returned to the translation conveying line from the empty stacked container input port for stacking the empty stacked container. The device and the external conveying line are effectively connected and conveyed, which is beneficial for flexible arrangement in the operation site and improves the applicability of the device.

[0043] According to embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a palletizing and conveying device includes: a conveying frame 1, a first palletizing mechanism 2, and a second palletizing mechanism 3.

[0044] The conveyor frame 1 is equipped with a lifting conveyor channel 11, a lifting conveyor channel 2 12, and a horizontal conveyor line 13; the lifting conveyor channel 11 and the lifting conveyor channel 2 12 are arranged horizontally opposite each other; the container input end 131 and the container output end 132 of the horizontal conveyor line 13 correspond one-to-one; containers are arranged below the lifting conveyor channel 11 and the lifting conveyor channel 2 12 for transferring and conveying palletizing containers; a cargo loading and unloading station 1333 is provided on the horizontal conveyor line 13 between the container input end 131 and the container output end 132; The first clamping and palletizing mechanism 2 is installed in the first lifting and conveying channel 11, which can receive multiple palletized containers in a vertical stacked state from the outside and place the palletized containers one by one to the container input end 131; the second clamping and palletizing mechanism 3 is installed in the second lifting and conveying channel 12, which can pick up the palletized containers located on the container output end 132 one by one, stack them vertically, and then output them to the outside.

[0045] In this embodiment, when a palletizing and conveying device is used, the main function of the palletizing mechanism 2 is to depalletize, and the main function of the palletizing mechanism 3 is to stack. The external transfer equipment sends multiple vertically stacked palletized containers into the lifting conveyor channel 11. The palletizing clamping mechanism 2 can clamp and receive the stacked palletized containers, and then place the palletized containers one by one onto the container input end 131 of the translation conveyor line 13 for destacking. The translation conveyor line 13 first transports the palletized containers at the container input end 131 one by one to the cargo loading and unloading station 1333 for loading. When the stacked palletized containers are empty, loading or unloading is carried out. When the stacked palletized containers are full, unloading is carried out. The fully loaded or unloaded palletized containers are transported one by one to the container output end 132. The palletizing clamping mechanism 2 3 clamps and picks up the palletized containers one by one from the container output end 132 and re-stacking them. The stacked palletized containers are then output to the external transfer equipment. The external transfer equipment can be a forklift or other stacked palletized container transfer and conveying equipment. The palletizing and conveying device of the present invention can realize the mechanical and automated palletizing and loading / unloading of palletized containers, turnover boxes or turnover baskets, etc., without the need for manual unpacking and unloading of palletized containers, or manual stacking of palletized containers to be loaded, which can significantly improve the efficiency of loading and unloading of poultry and other goods; and the lifting conveying channel 11, the lifting conveying channel 2 12 and the horizontal conveying line 13 are compactly arranged on the conveying frame 1, which has the advantages of compact structure and convenient overall turnover and transportation.

[0046] Specifically, the conveyor frame 1 is a frame structure made of welded square steel pipes, with four columns arranged in a rectangular array. Each column has a vertical telescopic support leg nested at its lower end (with built-in hydraulic cylinders for telescopic drive and control), so as to adjust the height and spatial posture of the conveyor frame 1 when it is standing on the ground.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom surface of the conveyor frame 1 is a plane, and the translational conveyor line 13 is arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the conveyor frame 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first clamping and palletizing mechanism 2 includes a container clamping arm assembly 21 capable of clamping the outer peripheral wall of the palletizing container to lift the palletizing container; the container clamping arm assembly 21 is vertically and vertically disposed in the lifting and conveying channel 11 to place the multiple vertically stacked palletizing containers one by one onto the container input end 131; the second clamping and palletizing mechanism 3 includes a container clamping arm assembly 31 capable of clamping the outer peripheral wall of the palletizing container to lift the palletizing container; the container clamping arm assembly 31 is vertically and vertically disposed in the lifting and conveying channel 11 to pick up the palletizing containers located on the container output end 132 one by one and perform vertical stacking.

[0049] Both container clamp arm assembly 21 and container clamp arm assembly 31 lift and raise the palletizing container by clamping the outer peripheral wall of the palletizing container, which makes it easy to place the stacked palletizing containers directly on the container input end 131 and to pick up the palletizing containers to be stacked from the container output end 132.

[0050] In some embodiments, the container clamping arm assembly 21 includes a clamping rail 211, a clamping rail 212, and a rail clamping drive mechanism 213; one side wall of the lifting conveying channel 11 is open in the direction opposite to the lifting conveying channel 11 and the lifting conveying channel 212 to form a stacking container input port 111; the clamping rail 211 and the clamping rail 212 are horizontally opposite each other and spaced apart, and their length directions are both horizontally arranged in the direction opposite to the lifting conveying channel 11 and the lifting conveying channel 212; the rail clamping drive mechanism 213 is vertically and vertically arranged in the lifting conveying channel 11 and its drive end is connected to the clamping rail 211 and the clamping rail 212, thereby driving and controlling the clamping rail 211 and the clamping rail 212 to move away from or closer to each other in the horizontal direction; the clamping area between the clamping rail 211 and the clamping rail 212 can horizontally correspond to the stacking container input port 111. The container clamping arm assembly 2 31 includes clamping rail 3 311, clamping rail 4 312, and rail clamping drive mechanism 2 313; the lifting conveying channel 2 12 has an open side wall facing the vertical lifting conveying channel 1 11 and the lifting conveying channel 2 12 to form a stacked container output port 121; the clamping rail 3 311 and the clamping rail 4 312 are horizontally opposite each other and spaced apart, and their length direction is horizontally arranged along the vertical lifting conveying channel 1 11 and the lifting conveying channel 2 12; the rail clamping drive mechanism 2 313 is vertically and vertically arranged in the lifting conveying channel 2 12, and its drive end is connected to the clamping rail 3 311 and the clamping rail 4 312, thereby driving and controlling the clamping rail 3 311 and the clamping rail 4 312 to move away from or closer to each other in the horizontal direction; the clamping area between the clamping rail 3 311 and the clamping rail 4 312 can horizontally correspond to the stacked container output port 121.

[0051] In use, the clamping rails 211 and 212 of the container clamping arm assembly 21 can not only move closer to or further away to clamp and release the relative outer peripheral walls of the palletized container 4, but can also be arranged side by side as a sliding track. This allows the corresponding outer peripheral wall protrusions 41 of the palletized container 4 to overlap the upper ends of the clamping rails 211 and 212, and then slide horizontally along their length into the clamping area between them. This facilitates horizontal connection with external transfer equipment and the transfer and conveying of the palletized container. Similarly, the clamping rails 311 and 312 have the same function.

[0052] Specifically, the rail clamping drive mechanism 213 includes a lifting frame 2131, a lifting driver 2132, a telescopic cylinder assembly 2133, and a telescopic cylinder assembly 2134. The lifting frame 2131 is located in the lifting and conveying channel 11 and is slidably connected to the conveying frame 1 along the height direction of the conveying frame 1. The fixed end of the lifting driver 2132 is fixed to the conveying frame 1, and the telescopic end of the lifting driver 2132 is connected (hinged) to the lifting frame 2131 to drive the lifting frame 2131 to lift. The fixed ends of telescopic cylinder assembly 1 2133 and telescopic cylinder assembly 2134 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lifting frame 1 2131 along the opposite directions of lifting conveying channel 1 11 and lifting conveying channel 2 12. Clamping rail 1 211 and clamping rail 2 212 are fixed one-to-one on the telescopic ends of telescopic cylinder assembly 1 2133 and telescopic cylinder assembly 2134. The telescopic ends of telescopic cylinder assembly 1 2133 and telescopic cylinder assembly 2134 are telescopic in the opposite directions along the opposite directions of lifting conveying channel 1 11 and lifting conveying channel 2 12, thereby driving clamping rail 1 211 and clamping rail 2 212 to move closer to each other to perform clamping action or to move away from each other to perform releasing action.

[0053] The lifting frame 2131 can be a horizontally placed U-shaped lifting frame, with its U-shaped opening corresponding to the stacking container input port 111. When the clamping rails 211 and 212 approach each other to perform a clamping action, they can extend into the interior of the lifting frame 2131.

Clamping rail three 311 and clamping rail four 312 are fixed one-to-one on the telescopic ends of telescopic cylinder group three 3133 and telescopic cylinder group four 3134. The telescopic ends of telescopic cylinder group three 3133 and telescopic cylinder group four 3134 are telescopic in the opposite direction along the opposite direction of the lifting conveying channel one 11 and the lifting conveying channel two 12, thereby driving clamping rail three 311 and clamping rail four 312 to move closer to each other to perform clamping action or to move away from each other to perform releasing action.

[0055] Lifting frame 2 3131 can be a horizontally placed U-shaped lifting frame, with its U-shaped opening corresponding to the output port 121 of the stacked containers; clamping rails 311 and 4 312 can extend into the interior of lifting frame 2 3131 when they are close to each other to perform clamping actions.

The two sets of container clamping arm assembly 21 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the lifting and conveying channel 11; the two sets of container clamping arm assembly 31 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the lifting and conveying channel 12.

[0058] The purpose of the two sets of container clamping arms assemblies 21 arranged sequentially in the vertical direction of the lifting and conveying channel 11 is as follows: the upper set of container clamping arms assemblies 21 is used to horizontally connect with external transfer equipment to receive the stacked palletized containers as a whole and transfer them to the lower set of container clamping arms assemblies 21; the lower set of container clamping arms assemblies 21 is used to destabilize the stacked palletized containers one by one; the two sets of container clamping arms assemblies 21 work together to achieve uninterrupted destabilization of the palletized containers, realize the continuity of the destabilization and conveying of the palletized containers, and thus improve efficiency. The purpose of the two sets of container clamping arms 31 arranged sequentially in the height direction of the lifting and conveying channel 2 12 is as follows: the lower set of container clamping arms 31 is used to pick up and stack the containers one by one to make the stacked containers stacked to the required number of layers, and then lift and transfer them to the upper set of container clamping arms 31; the upper set of container clamping arms 31 is used to lift the stacked containers as a whole to connect them horizontally to the external transfer equipment, and then output the stacked containers as a whole to the external transfer equipment; the two sets of container clamping arms 31 work together to realize the uninterrupted stacking and stacking of the containers, realize the continuity of the stacking and conveying of the containers, and thus improve efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, the translational conveyor line 13 is a horizontal conveyor line with a U-shaped layout; the translational conveyor line 13 has a straight conveyor line 133 between its container input end 131 and container output end 132; the straight conveyor line 133 is located on one side of the lifting conveyor channel 11 and the lifting conveyor channel 2 12 in the direction opposite to the lifting conveyor channel 11 and the lifting conveyor channel 2 12; the straight conveyor line 133 is a right-angle conveyor station 1331 corresponding to the lifting conveyor channel 11; the straight conveyor line 133 is a right-angle conveyor station 2 1332 corresponding to the lifting conveyor channel 2 12; the cargo loading and unloading station 1333 is located on the straight conveyor line 133 between the right-angle conveyor station 1331 and the right-angle conveyor station 2 1332; The side of right-angle conveyor station 1331 closest to container input end 131 is the palletizing container input port that connects to container input end 131; the side of right-angle conveyor station 1331 closest to cargo loading and unloading station 1333 is the empty palletizing container output port that connects to cargo loading and unloading station 1333; the side of right-angle conveyor station 1331 furthest from cargo loading and unloading station 1333 is the loading palletizing container output port that connects to the input port of external conveyor line. The side of right-angle conveyor station 2 1332 closest to container output end 132 is the palletizing container output port that connects to container output end 132; the side of right-angle conveyor station 2 1332 closest to cargo loading and unloading station 1333 is the loading and palletizing container input port that connects to cargo loading and unloading station 1333; the side of right-angle conveyor station 2 1332 furthest from cargo loading and unloading station 1333 is the empty palletizing container input port that connects to the output port of external conveyor line.

[0060] The U-shaped translational conveyor line 13 is compactly integrated below and to one side of the lifting conveyor channel 11 and the lifting conveyor channel 2 12, improving the overall compactness and space utilization of the device. Individual palletized containers depalletized to the container input end 131 can be transferred sequentially through the right-angle conveyor station 1331, the cargo loading and unloading station 1333, and the right-angle conveyor station 2 1332 to the container output end 132; the palletized containers arriving at the cargo loading and unloading station 1333 can be loaded or unloaded. In addition, right-angle conveyor station 1331 also has a loading and palletizing container output port for connecting to the input port of the external conveyor line, and right-angle conveyor station 1332 also has an empty palletizing container input port for connecting to the output port of the external conveyor line. The external conveyor line is connected between the loading and palletizing container output port and the empty palletizing container input port. The loading and palletizing containers are transported by the external conveyor line and unloaded at the unloading station set on the external conveyor line. After unloading, the empty palletizing containers return from the empty palletizing container input port to the translational conveyor line 13 for stacking. This realizes the effective connection and transportation between the device and the external conveyor line, which is conducive to flexible layout in the work site and improves the applicability of the device.

[0061] In some embodiments, the translation conveyor line 13 is provided with a translation mechanism 134 for driving the palletizing containers to move along the conveying direction of the translation conveyor line 13.

[0062] The translation mechanism 134 is used to drive and control the palletizing containers to be transported on the translation conveyor line 13.

[0063] In some embodiments, the translation mechanism 134 includes a first push-pull mechanism 1341, a second push-pull mechanism 1342, and a third push-pull mechanism 1343. The first push-pull mechanism 1341 is provided corresponding to the container input end 131 and can be connected to and drive the palletized container located on the container input end 131 to transfer to the right-angle conveying station 1331. The second push-pull mechanism 1342 is provided corresponding to the cargo loading and unloading station 1333 and can be connected to and drive the palletized container located on the right-angle conveying station 1331 to transfer to the cargo loading and unloading station 1333, thereby pushing the palletized container located on the cargo loading and unloading station 1333 to the right-angle conveying station 1332. The third push-pull mechanism 1343 is provided corresponding to the container output end 132 and can be connected to and drive the palletized container located on the right-angle conveying station 1332 to transfer to the container output end 132.

[0064] Specifically, both push-pull mechanism 1341 and push-pull mechanism 31343 include a fixed cylinder and a telescopic cylinder. One end of the telescopic cylinder is movably nested in the fixed cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder is installed in the fixed cylinder. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed in the fixed cylinder, and the other end is connected to the telescopic cylinder, so that it can extend and retract along the length of the fixed cylinder to drive the telescopic cylinder to move. The fixed cylinder is horizontally welded to the conveyor frame 1 and corresponds to the lower side of the horizontal conveying surface of the translation conveyor line 13. A fixed push plate is vertically fixed at the other end of the telescopic cylinder. The upper end of the fixed push plate extends upward and is higher than the horizontal conveying surface of the translation conveyor line 13, so that it can push against the outer peripheral wall of the palletizing container located on the horizontal conveying surface of the translation conveyor line 13 to realize the movement control of the palletizing container.

[0065] In some embodiments, the push-pull mechanism 1342 has a push-pull end capable of reciprocating along the conveying direction of the linear conveyor line 133; the push-pull end is provided with a hinge seat 13421; the top of the hinge seat 13421 is hinged to a gravity-flipping push plate 13422 via a hinge shaft 13423; the hinge shaft 13423 is arranged horizontally and along the conveying direction of the vertical linear conveyor line 133; the middle part of the gravity-flipping push plate 13422 is hinged to the top of the hinge seat 13421 via the hinge shaft 13423, and one end of the gravity-flipping push plate 13422 perpendicular to the axial direction of the hinge shaft 13423 is provided with a counterweight end 13424 capable of flipping downward under the action of gravity and abutting against the side wall of the hinge seat 13421 so that the gravity-flipping push plate 13422 is in an inclined or vertical state.

[0066] The counterweight end 13424 of the gravity-flipping pusher 13422 is relatively heavy. Therefore, under the influence of gravity, its counterweight end 13424 is always located below the hinge shaft 13423, thus abutting against one side wall of the hinge seat 13421. This allows the gravity-flipping pusher 13422 to be used in two states along the conveying direction of the linear conveyor line 133: one is to position its counterweight end 13424 on one side of the hinge seat 13421 along the conveying direction of the linear conveyor line 133, using the gravity-flipping pusher 13422 as a hook plate; the other is to position its counterweight end 13424... 3424 is located on the other side of the hinge seat 13421 along the conveying direction of the straight conveyor line 133, so that the gravity flipping push plate 13422 is used as a push plate; when used as a hook plate, the gravity flipping push plate 13422 can hook and pull the outer wall of the stacked container located on the right angle conveying station 1331 and then move it horizontally to the cargo loading and unloading station 1333; when used as a push plate, the gravity flipping push plate 13422 pushes against the outer wall of the stacked container located on the right angle conveying station 1331 and then moves it horizontally out of the loading and stacking container output port.

[0067] Specifically, the push-pull mechanism 1342 also includes a fixed cylinder and a telescopic cylinder. One end of the telescopic cylinder is movably nested in the fixed cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder is installed in the fixed cylinder. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed in the fixed cylinder, and the other end is connected to the telescopic cylinder, so that it can extend and retract along the length of the fixed cylinder to drive the telescopic cylinder to move. The fixed cylinder is horizontally welded to the conveyor frame 1 and is below the horizontal conveying surface of the translational conveyor line 13. The hinge seat 13421 is fixed to the other end of the telescopic cylinder. When the gravity-flipping push plate 13422 is flipped to the horizontal state, it is flush with the horizontal conveying surface of the translational conveyor line 13. When the gravity-flipping push plate 13422 is flipped to the inclined state, its upper end is located above the horizontal conveying surface of the translational conveyor line 13, so that it can abut against the outer peripheral wall of the stacking container.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first lifting conveyor channel 11 and the second lifting conveyor channel 12 are arranged horizontally opposite each other and spaced apart, and the space between them is the control component installation area 14.

[0069] Setting the interval area between the first lifting conveyor channel 11 and the second lifting conveyor channel 12 as the control component installation area 14 can provide installation space for the drive control unit of the translation mechanism and other control components, and also reserve space for setting up the cargo loading and unloading station 1333 between the first right-angle conveyor station 1331 and the second right-angle conveyor station 1332.

[0070] In some embodiments, the stacking container inlet 111 and the stacking container outlet 121 are located on the opposite side of the corresponding lifting conveyor channel 11 and lifting conveyor channel 212 in the direction opposite to the vertical lifting conveyor channel 11 and lifting conveyor channel 212.

[0071] The stacking and palletizing container input port 111 and the stacking and palletizing container output port 121 are located on the same side, which facilitates the docking of external transfer equipment in a limited working space.
