[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this application embodiment provides a pusher plate alignment device 100, including a chain conveyor 1, a detection device 2, and an alignment device 3. The chain conveyor 1 is configured to convey a stack of boards S; the detection device 2 is located downstream of the chain conveyor 1 and is configured to detect the neatness of the stack of boards S; the alignment device 3 is configured to align the front and rear sides of the stack of boards S along the transport direction according to the information detected by the detection device 2.

[0022] This application embodiment, by setting up a pusher plate alignment device 100, can align the gypsum boards before stacking and bundling, thereby improving the appearance quality of the gypsum boards after they are unstacked and improving the existing neatness.

[0023] During testing, the testing device 2 sends a testing signal to each layer of boards, acquires the feedback time of each layer, and determines the neatness of the board stack S based on the acquired feedback time difference of all layers. The alignment device 3 applies a pushing force to the board stack based on the acquired neatness of the board stack S.

[0024] For example, when the detection device 2 detects layers with different feedback times, it determines that the board stack is uneven and controls the alignment device 3 to start. Conversely, when there are no layers with different feedback times, the board stack is considered to be neat. The detection device 2 can also determine the neatness based on the difference in feedback times of multiple layers of boards. The larger the difference, the worse the neatness, and the more force is applied by the alignment device 3; the smaller the difference, the higher the neatness, and the less force is applied by the alignment device 3. Thus, it can not only achieve the alignment of the board stack S, but also provide an appropriate applied force to prevent damage to the boards.

[0025] Generally, the alignment device 3 can apply a pushing force to the stack of plates S from bottom to top or from top to bottom. Taking the middle plate as the reference, a smaller pushing force is applied to the middle, a larger pushing force is applied to the protruding parts at the top and bottom ends, and no pushing force is applied to the recessed parts. The alignment is achieved by applying the pushing force through the relative pushing plate mechanism.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the detection device 2 includes a support rod 20 and one or more distance sensors 21 mounted on the support rod 20. Of course, the distance sensor 21 can also be replaced by a camera device, which is not limited here.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the alignment device 3 includes a frame 30 and a first pusher mechanism 31 and a second pusher mechanism 32 disposed on the frame 30. The first pusher mechanism 31 and the second pusher mechanism 32 are configured to apply a pushing force to the stack of sheet materials S to align the stack of sheet materials. The forces applied by the first pusher mechanism 31 and the second pusher mechanism 32 are in opposite directions. One of the first pusher mechanism 31 and the second pusher mechanism 32 is disposed corresponding to the front side of the stack of sheet materials S, and the other is disposed corresponding to the rear side of the stack of sheet materials S.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, both the first pusher mechanism 31 and the second pusher mechanism 32 include a drive cylinder 310 and a pusher plate 311 connected to the drive cylinder 310. The drive cylinder 310 drives the pusher plate 311 to move, and the pusher plate 311 pushes the stacked plates S to align.

[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the alignment device 3 is located on the side of the chain conveyor 1. The alignment device 3 includes a telescopic mechanism 33 connecting the frame 30 with the first pusher mechanism 31 and the second pusher mechanism 32. The telescopic mechanism 33 is configured to, when aligning the stack of plates S, drive the first pusher mechanism 31 and the second pusher mechanism 32 to extend to the front and rear sides of the stack of plates S; when the stack of plates S is aligned, drive the first pusher mechanism 31 and the second pusher mechanism 32 back to their initial positions. Of course, the alignment device 3 can also be located at the top or other positions, which is not limited here.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the alignment device 3 also includes a lifting device 34 mounted on the frame 30 and driving the first push plate mechanism 31 and the second push plate mechanism 32 to move up and down. The lifting device 34 is configured to drive the first push plate mechanism 31 and the second push plate mechanism 32 to move up and down along the height direction when aligning the stack of plates S, thereby performing the alignment action on the stack of plates S.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the push plate alignment device 100 also includes an alarm device 4 connected to the detection device 2. The alarm device 4 is configured to sound an alarm when the detection device detects misalignment of the plates. The alarm device 4 can use indicator lights, voice broadcasts, or other methods.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the pusher plate alignment device 100 also includes a limiting device 5 provided on the chain plate machine 1. When the stack of plates S reaches the position limited by the limiting device 5, the chain plate machine 1 is controlled to stop running, and then the detection device 2 and the alignment device 3 are started.
