DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the utility model is an automatic conveying mechanism for a pallet, comprising:

[0028] A frame 1 is provided with a conveyor belt 2, and an empty pallet loading area 3, a working area 4 and a full pallet collecting area 5 are arranged above the conveyor belt 2, the empty pallet loading area 3 is stacked with empty pallets, and the full pallet collecting area 5 is used to stack fully loaded pallets;

[0029] A material separator 6, which is movably arranged in the empty pallet loading area 3 and located on the side of the conveyor belt 2, is used to lift the empty pallets so that the stacked pallets are placed one by one on the conveyor belt 2 from bottom to top;

[0030] A fixed block 7 is movably arranged in the working area 4 and is located on the moving path of the pallet. The fixed block 7 can be moved to a preset position by an empty pallet and movably abut against the pallet to fix the pallet for receiving materials;

[0031] A lifting member 8, which is movably arranged in the full pallet collection area and located on the fully loaded pallet moving path, is used to lift the pallets off the conveyor belt 2 and stack them.

[0032] During operation, the empty pallets are first neatly stacked in the empty pallet loading area 3, and then the dividing member 6 lifts the stacked empty pallets, and separates the empty pallet at the bottom of the stack in turn, and the conveyor belt 2 drives the separated empty pallet to move. When the empty pallet moves to the preset position of the working area, the fixed block 7 movably abuts against the empty pallet. At this time, the empty pallet is fixed in the working area 4 to receive materials. When the pallet is filled with a predetermined amount of materials, the fixed block 7 is released in time and no longer contacts the full pallet, allowing the conveyor belt 2 to continue its transportation task. When the pallet filled with materials is transported to the full pallet collection area 5, the lifting member 8 is started. Through the precise control of the lifting member 8, the full pallet is smoothly lifted off the conveyor belt 2, and placed in the appropriate position of the full pallet collection area 5 according to the designed stacking logic to achieve orderly stacking. This process significantly improves work efficiency, reduces manpower requirements, and is conducive to the automation of production processes and cost control optimization.

[0033] More specifically, it also includes:

[0034] First support frames 9, a plurality of first support frames 9 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 2;

[0035] A first driving member 10 is vertically arranged on the first support frames 9 on both sides. The first driving member 10 may be a cylinder or a motor;

[0036] The moving seat 11, the output ends of the first driving member 10 are connected to the moving seat 11;

[0037] A second driving member 12 is provided on the movable seat 11, and the material dividing member 6 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 12. The second driving member 12 can be a motor or a cylinder;

[0038] When the empty pallets are stacked and placed in the empty pallet loading area 3, the first driving members 10 on both sides are started immediately, driving the movable seat 11 to move, so that the second driving member 12 and the dividing member 6 move synchronously to the preset position. At this time, the dividing members 6 on both sides are respectively located on both sides of the second layer of pallets from the bottom to the top of the stacked pallets, and the second driving members 12 on both sides are started immediately, respectively driving the dividing members 6 on both sides to approach the two sides of the second layer of pallets at the same time until they are movably abutted against the pallets. At this time, the second layer of pallets is clamped. At the same time, the first driving members 10 on both sides continue to drive, driving the movable seat 11 to rise, and the second driving member 12 and the dividing member 6 rise synchronously, so that the second layer of pallets movably abutted against the dividing member 6 rises, and the stacked pallets are separated from the pallets of the bottom layer, and the conveyor belt 2 transports the bottom pallet. This operation ensures that the empty pallets can be separated from the stack one by one and are accurately and efficiently delivered to the production line.

[0039] More specifically, it also includes a third driving member 13, and the third driving member 13 is disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 2, and the fixing block 7 is connected to the output end of the third driving member 13;

[0040] When the conveyor belt 2 transports an empty pallet to the working area 4, the third driving members 13 on both sides are immediately started, driving the fixed blocks 7 connected to the output ends thereof to approach the two sides of the empty pallet respectively, until they are in close contact with the two sides of the empty pallet and form a stable support, thereby ensuring the stability and precise position of the pallet during the material receiving process. At this time, the pallet enters the material receiving preparation state. During the material receiving process, once the pallet is filled with a predetermined amount of material, the third driving members 13 on both sides operate in the opposite direction, causing the fixed blocks 7 to detach from the two sides of the pallet and release the fixation of the pallet. Then, the conveyor belt 2 continues to transport the fully loaded pallet. This series of automated operations not only ensures the efficient and accurate loading of materials, but also minimizes the need for manual intervention. The third driving member 13 can be a motor or a cylinder.

[0041] More specifically, it also includes:

[0042] Second support frames 14, a plurality of second support frames 14 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 2;

[0043] A fourth driving member 15 is vertically arranged on the second support frame 14, and the lifting member 8 is connected to the output end of the fourth driving member 15. The fourth driving member 15 can be a motor or a cylinder;

[0044] When the conveyor belt 2 transports the fully loaded pallet to the full pallet collection area 5, the lifting members 8 on both sides are respectively located on both sides of the lower end of the pallet, and the fourth driving members 15 on both sides are immediately started, driving the lifting members 8 to rise until their top ends respectively abut against the protruding structures on both sides of the upper end of the pallet, and then, under the continuous action of the fourth driving member 15, the lifting members 8 continue to rise and remain abutted against the pallet, so that the pallet is smoothly lifted from the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and finally completely detached.

[0045] More specifically, fixed seats 16 are provided on both sides of the frame 1, which are located on the sides of the second support frame 14. Guide blocks 17 are elastically provided on the fixed seats 16. The guide blocks 17 are located on the movable path of the full material pallet. The guide blocks 17 are movably abutted against both sides of the full material pallet, respectively, to provide guidance and support for the lifting of the full material pallet.

[0046] More specifically, an elastic member is also provided on the fixing seat 16, and two ends of the elastic member respectively abut against the fixing seat 16 and the guide block. The elastic member can be compressed and elastically deformed due to the movable abutment between the guide block 17 and the full material tray.

[0047] More specifically, the guide blocks 17 each have a first portion 18 and a second portion 19 obliquely disposed on the first portion 18 , the first portion 18 is parallel to the lifting path of the full pallet, and one end of the elastic member away from the fixing seat 16 abuts against one side of the second portion 19 .

[0048] Driven by the fourth driving member 15, the lifting member 8 lifts the fully loaded pallet, and the protruding structures on both sides of the upper edge of the fully loaded pallet contact the first part 18 and the second part 19 of the guide block 17 in sequence. As the pallet rises along the first part 18 and approaches the second part 19, the elastic member abutting against the guide block 17 undergoes elastic deformation due to the pressure of the pallet. This deformation not only alleviates the impact of the contact between the pallet and the guide block 17, but also enhances the stable contact between the two through the reaction force, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the lifting process. When the lifting member 8 reaches the preset height, the fourth driving member 15 stops driving in time. At this time, the pallet keeps in contact with the second parts 19 on both sides under the action of its own gravity, and the guide blocks 17 provide support for the fully loaded pallet. Subsequently, the fourth driving member 15 reverses the operation to cause the lifting member 8 to slowly descend, separate from the current pallet, return to the initial position, and prepare for the processing of the next fully loaded pallet.

[0049] During the process of introducing a new fully loaded pallet, the lifting member 8 is started again. Through precise adjustment, it is ensured that the top of the new pallet is precisely aligned with the bottom of the pallet pressed against the guide block 17 above. Under the continuous action of the lifting member 8, smooth stacking between the two pallets is achieved. In this way, the fully loaded pallets are safely and orderly accumulated in the full pallet collection area 5, forming a stable stacking structure.
