TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automated warehouse logistics conveying and sorting, in particular to a single-power pallet shaper. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of automated warehouse logistics, in order to reduce the floor area of the pallet, it is usually necessary to stack several pallets into a pallet group, which is beneficial to the storage of the pallet. Before automation, manual stacking and shaping are usually required. To solve this problem, many logistics line manufacturers have developed mechanisms that can automatically stack and shape pallets.

[0003] Specifically, the conveying operation refers to conveying materials or pallets into the warehouse by conveying equipment and storing them by the stacking machine. In order to stack multiple pallets, a stacking machine is required. The stacking machine can only automatically stack the pallets, and cannot arrange the pallets neatly, so a shaping mechanism is required. After the pallets are stacked, they are conveyed to the shaping mechanism for arrangement.

[0004] Currently, during the arrangement of the pallet group, multiple motors need to work simultaneously, which poses great challenges to cost and control. Therefore, a single-power pallet shaping mechanism needs to be designed. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a single-power pallet shaper, which can shape the four sides of the pallet through a single drive motor.

[0023] AsFigures 1-6 The present application is particularly related to a single power tray shaping machine, which comprises a whole frame 100, a top frame driving mechanism 200 arranged on the upper end of the whole frame 100 and a shaping mechanism 300 arranged on the inner side of the whole frame 100, the top frame driving mechanism 200 is connected with the shaping mechanism 300 and can drive the shaping mechanism 300 to rotate to shape the tray placed on the whole frame 100. The top frame driving mechanism 200 comprises a transmission motor 210 arranged on the top of the whole frame 100 and a transmission shaft 220 connected with the transmission motor 210 through a chain. The shaping mechanism 300 comprises a first rotating shaft 310 rotatably connected with the whole frame 100 through a bearing seat and a shaping frame 330 connected with the first rotating shaft 310 through a first rotating arm 320. The shaping mechanism 300 further comprises a second rotating shaft 350 rotatably connected with the whole frame 100 through a bearing seat, and the second rotating shaft 350 is connected with the shaping frame 330 through a second rotating arm 360. The first rotating shaft 310 is engaged with the transmission shaft 220 through a bevel gear set 230, and the transmission motor 210 cooperates with the transmission shaft 220, the first rotating shaft 310 and the first rotating arm 320 to rotate the shaping frame 330 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 310, so as to shape or release the tray placed on the whole frame 100.

[0024] It should be noted that the transmission motor 210 is fixed on the top of the whole frame 100 by bolts, the transmission shaft 220 is connected with the top of the whole frame 100 through a bearing seat, the end of the transmission shaft 220 is provided with a driving bevel gear, the middle part of the transmission shaft 220 is provided with a gear assembly, and the transmission motor 210 is connected with the gear assembly through a chain and can drive the transmission shaft 220 to rotate.

[0025] The first rotating shaft 310 is also rotatably connected with the inner side of the whole frame 100 through a bearing seat, and the upper end of the first rotating shaft 310 is provided with a driven bevel gear, which is engaged with the driving bevel gear, so that the first rotating shaft 310 can be driven to rotate synchronously when the transmission shaft 220 rotates.

[0026] One end of the first rotating arm 320 is fixed to the surface of the first rotating shaft 310, which can be achieved by welding or clamping, and the specific fixing method belongs to the conventional means in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0027] The other end of the first rotating arm 320 is movably connected to the shaping frame 330, and the shaping frame 330 can rotate relative to the first rotating arm 320. When the first rotating shaft 310 drives the first rotating arm 320 to rotate, the shaping frame 330 can be driven to rotate synchronously.

[0028] The second rotating arm 360 is arranged in the same way as the first rotating arm 320, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] When the shaping frame 330 rotates, the shaping frame 330 drives the second rotating shaft 350 to rotate through the second rotating arm 360, and the first rotating shaft 310, the second rotating shaft 350, the first rotating arm 320, and the second rotating arm 360 cooperate with each other to stably adjust the distance between the shaping frame 330 and the tray, so as to align the tray.

[0030] One end of the shaping frame 330 is provided with a baffle 340, which continuously abuts against the opposite sides of the tray during the movement of the shaping frame 330, so as to align the opposite sides of the tray. The baffle 340 of the shaping bracket can align the other side of the tray, thereby synchronously aligning the tray in three directions. The shaping mechanism 300 is provided in two groups, and the two groups of shaping mechanisms 300 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the overall frame 100. Both groups of shaping mechanisms 300 are driven by the transmission motor 210 arranged on the upper end of the shaping frame 330.

[0031] The upper end of the second rotating shaft 350 is connected with the blocking assembly 400 and can drive the blocking assembly 400 to move linearly in the transverse direction.

[0032] The above has improved the rotation principle of the second rotating shaft 350. When the second rotating shaft 350 rotates, the rotational force of the second rotating shaft 350 needs to be converted into a transverse translation force, so as to drive the blocking assembly 400 to move, thereby limiting the other side of the tray.

[0033] The blocking assembly 400 includes a limiting plate 410, which is connected with the upper end of the second rotating shaft 350 through a linkage assembly 450, and is connected with the overall frame 100 through a linear guide rail 430. The second rotating shaft 350 drives the limiting plate 410 to move linearly along the length direction of the linear guide rail 430 through the linkage assembly 450.

[0034] The linkage assembly 450 includes a first rod 452 and a second rod 451. One end of the first rod 452 is hingedly connected with one end of the second rod 451, and the other end of the first rod 452 is fixed to the upper end of the second rotating shaft 350 and can rotate synchronously with the second rotating shaft 350. The other end of the second rod 451 is connected with the limiting plate 410 through a pin shaft, so that when the second rotating shaft 350 rotates, the rotational force can be converted into a horizontal pulling force through the cooperation of the first rod 452 and the second rod 451.

[0035] Since the part of the limiting plate 410 located in the overall frame 100 is connected with the overall frame 100 through the linear guide rail 430, when the limiting plate 410 is pulled horizontally, the limiting plate 410 moves linearly along the length direction of the linear guide rail 430.

[0036] The limiting plate 410 is provided in two groups, the two groups of limiting plates 410 are connected through the blocking shaft 420, and the two limiting plates 410 are close to or away from each other to block or release the tray placed in the overall frame 100.

[0037] The distance between the two groups of limiting plates 410 is adjusted so as to limit and reshape the tray, and when the reshaping is completed, the distance between the two limiting plates 410 is adjusted to be greater than the width of the tray so as to move out the tray.

[0038] The bottom of the limiting plate 410 is provided with a transverse guide block 440, and the overall frame 100 is provided with a transverse guide plate 110 used in cooperation with the transverse guide block 440, further improving the stability of the limiting plate 410 during movement.

[0039] The overall frame 100 is also provided with a track assembly 500 for transporting and placing the tray, and the tray is transported through the track assembly 500.

[0040] The reshaping frame 330 includes a frame body 331 and a plurality of rollers 332 rotatably connected to the frame body 331.

[0041] The rotating mode of the reshaping frame 330 has been improved above, by arranging a plurality of rollers 332 in the frame body 331, the rollers rotate when abutting against the tray, which not only reshapes the tray, but also ensures the smoothness of the movement of the reshaping frame 330.
