A positioning pin 502 is installed on the side cross bar of the pallet rack 1. The positioning pin 502 passes through the side cross bar and the positioning hole of the pallet rack 1 so as to install the guide rod 5 on the pallet rack 1. The spacing of the guide rods 5 in the pallet rack 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the positioning hole through which the positioning pin 502 passes, so as to adapt to pallets of different sizes.

[0017] The head end of the discharge conveyor belt 2 is installed at the lower part of the pallet rack 1; the jacking device is installed below a section of the discharge conveyor belt 2 inside the pallet rack 1; a driving mechanism and two symmetrical chuck mechanisms 4 are installed on the outer side of the pallet rack 1, and the driving mechanism is connected to the input ends of the two chuck mechanisms 4.

A baffle is installed on the lifting plate of the jacking device 3, and the baffle is directly opposite to the positioning plate 6.

[0018] When the pallet needs to be taken out, the lifting device 3 first rises until its lifting plate is in close contact with the lower end of the pallet stack; then, the lifting plate continues to rise until the baffle on it is completely aligned with the proximity sensor 7 installed on the upper part of the positioning plate 6; at this time, the proximity sensor 7 will quickly send a signal to the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism drives the chuck mechanism 4 to synchronously pull its locking tongue out of the side support groove of the pallet.

[0019] Then, the lifting plate of the jacking device begins to descend; when the side support grooves of the pallets stacked above the pallets on the lifting plate are completely aligned with the locking tongues of the chuck mechanism 4, the baffle installed on the lifting plate will be aligned with the proximity sensor 7 installed at the bottom of the positioning plate 6; at this time, the locking tongues of the two chuck mechanisms will extend synchronously and accurately insert into the side support grooves of the pallets, thereby successfully separating the pallet at the bottom of the pallet stack.

[0020] Finally, the lifting device 3 continues to descend, and the pallet on it is stably placed on the discharge conveyor belt 2, and transferred to other processes for further processing.

[0021] Reference Figure 2The chuck mechanism 4 includes a chuck bracket 401 installed on the outside of the tray rack 1, a slide 402 is installed on the upper part of the chuck bracket 401, a lock tongue 403 is slidably installed on the slide 402, a through hole 407 is opened on the lock tongue 403, and a push shaft 408 is installed in the through hole 407; a rotating shaft 404 is installed at the lower part of the chuck bracket 401, a push rod 405 is installed on the rotating shaft 404, the lower end of the push rod 405 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 404, and a slide groove 406 is opened on the upper end, the upper end of the push rod 405 passes through the through hole 407, and the push shaft 408 is installed in the slide groove 406.

[0022] The driving mechanism includes a rotating cylinder 409, a rotating block 410 is installed on the output shaft of the rotating cylinder 409, a crank arm 411 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 404, a connecting rod 412 is installed between the crank arm 411 and the rotating block 410, one end of the crank arm 411 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 404, and the other end is hinged to the connecting rod 412, and the other end of the connecting rod 412 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 410.

[0023] The rotary cylinder 409 drives the rotary block 410 to rotate so that the upper ends of the two curved arms 411 move closer to or farther from each other, thereby driving the opposite locking tongues 403 on the two chuck mechanisms 4 to be synchronously inserted into or pulled out of the side support grooves of the tray.

[0024] The specific implementation methods of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.
