[0002] Storage baskets are mainly used to store items and are widely used in various fields. In places such as assembly lines, there will be a large number of items that need to be stored and transferred, so a large number of storage baskets are needed.

[0003] Traditionally, in order to centrally place these large numbers of storage baskets, they are generally stacked up and down. Sometimes, in order to standardize the placement, a place is divided for the centralized stacking of storage baskets, or a storage basket funnel is set up to centrally place the storage baskets in the storage basket funnel.

[0004] Although the stacking structure can greatly reduce the space required for storage baskets, on the assembly line, storage baskets are taken out one by one each time to store items. This process is still manually operated, and taking out the baskets is very time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the taking of a single storage basket still requires manual labor, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to take the basket.

[0007] A plurality of first support plates are arranged around the first transmission shaft, and a second support plate matched with the first support plate is arranged around the second transmission shaft; a cavity is formed between the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft and the bottom of the vertical channel respectively, for allowing the first support plate and the second support plate to rotate into the vertical channel path;

[0008] When the first transmission shaft stops, the first support plate and the second support plate abut against and support the storage basket handle at the bottom of the vertical channel; when the first transmission shaft moves, the first support plate and the second support plate are disengaged from the abutment support for the storage basket handle at the bottom of the vertical channel, and another set of first support plates and second support plates rotate into the cavity to abut against the second-to-last storage basket handle at the bottom of the vertical channel.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the storage basket hopper basket taking device of the present application has the following advantages: when not rotating, the entire stacked storage basket is supported by the first support plate and the second support plate; when the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft rotate, the first support plate and the second support plate are driven to rotate, and the first support plate and the second support plate no longer support the bottom storage basket, but support the second to last storage basket, thereby realizing the taking out of the storage baskets one by one from the storage basket hopper, facilitating the taking of baskets, automating the taking of baskets, and improving the efficiency of taking baskets.

[0010] In a possible implementation, it further includes a motor and a controller for controlling the start and stop of the motor, the control end of the motor is electrically connected to the controller, the output shaft of the motor is transmission-connected to the first transmission shaft, and the second transmission shaft is transmission-connected to the first transmission shaft.

[0013] In a possible implementation manner, a power wheel is fixed to the output shaft of the motor, and the power wheel is meshed with the first transmission wheel.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution can output the rotation of the motor through the power wheel, which is easy to implement.

[0015] In a possible implementation manner, the distances between adjacent first support plates away from one end of the first transmission shaft are both L1, and the vertical distance between the handles of adjacent storage baskets is W1, where L1=W1.

[0037] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] See also Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a storage basket hopper basket taking device, including a storage basket funnel 1, a first transmission shaft 3 and a second transmission shaft 4.

[0039] A vertical channel is provided in the storage basket funnel 1, in which a plurality of storage baskets 11 are stacked. The storage baskets 11 have handles extending horizontally from their openings, and the storage basket funnel 1 is fixed through the workbench. A plurality of storage baskets 11 are stacked in the storage basket funnel 1, and the storage baskets 11 can be pulled out from the bottom of the workbench.

[0040] The first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 are respectively arranged horizontally at two ends below the vertical channel, and the distance between the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 is greater than the width of the vertical channel. The first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 rotate synchronously towards each other.

[0041] The first transmission shaft 3 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of first support plates 31, and the second transmission shaft 4 is circumferentially provided with a second support plate 41 matched with the first support plate 31; a cavity 12 is formed between the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 and the bottom of the vertical channel respectively, for allowing the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 to rotate into the vertical channel path.

[0042] When the first transmission shaft 3 stops, the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 abut and support the handle of the storage basket 11 at the bottom of the vertical channel; when the first transmission shaft 3 moves, the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 are disengaged from the abutment support for the handle of the storage basket 11 at the bottom of the vertical channel, and another set of first support plates 31 and second support plates 41 rotate into the cavity 12, abutting and supporting the penultimate storage basket 11 handle at the bottom of the vertical channel.

[0043] It also includes a motor 2 and a controller for controlling the start and stop of the motor 2. The control end of the motor 2 is electrically connected to the controller. The output shaft of the motor 2 is transmission-connected to the first transmission shaft 3. The second transmission shaft 4 is transmission-connected to the first transmission shaft 3.

[0044] Among them, the motor 2 is a stepper motor. The stepper motor can control the angle of rotation, which is convenient for the controller to control and ensure that the stepper motor can rotate to a specific position every time.

[0045] Among them, the control end of the motor 2 is electrically connected to the controller, the output shaft of the motor 2 is transmission-connected to the first transmission shaft 3, the second transmission shaft 4 is transmission-connected to the first transmission shaft 3, and the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 rotate synchronously in opposite directions; the first transmission shaft 3 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of first support plates 31 (at least three first support plates 31), and the second transmission shaft 4 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of second support plates 41 (at least three second support plates 41), and the number of the second support plates 41 is equal to the number of the first support plates 31.

[0046] In normal state, the motor 2 is not working, at which time at least one of the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 is respectively in contact with the bottom of the handle on one side of the bottom storage basket 11. The first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 support the entire stacked storage basket 11.

[0047] When the motor 2 is just started, the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41, which were originally in contact with the bottom of the handle of the bottom storage basket 11, will gradually disengage from the contact after rotation, and the bottom storage basket 11 can fall individually under gravity; after the motor 2 continues to work, the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 will drive the other first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 to contact the bottom of the handle of the current bottom storage basket 11 again, so as to support the storage basket 11 again, until the preset position is reached, and the motor 2 stops working.

[0048] When the motor 2 rotates, it drives the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 to rotate, and then drives the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 to rotate. The first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 no longer support the storage basket 11 at the bottom, so that the storage baskets 11 can be taken out one by one from the storage basket funnel 1, which is convenient for taking out the baskets, automates the basket taking, and improves the efficiency of taking out the baskets.

[0049] Among them, the controller controls the rotation of motor 2, which can be triggered by pressing a button electrically connected to the controller; it can also be triggered by pressing a touch screen electrically connected to the controller; it can also be triggered by a timer to automatically start motor 2 once every certain period of time to facilitate assembly line operation.

[0050] In this embodiment, a first transmission wheel 32 is fixed on the first transmission shaft 3, and a first fixed shaft 5 and a second fixed shaft 6 are provided on the left or right side of the storage basket funnel 1. A second transmission wheel 51 is movably connected to the first fixed shaft 5, and the second transmission wheel 51 is engaged with the first transmission wheel 32. A third transmission wheel 61 is movably connected to the second fixed shaft 6, and the third transmission wheel 61 is engaged with the second transmission wheel 51; a fourth transmission wheel 42 is fixed on the second transmission shaft 4, and the fourth transmission wheel 42 is engaged with the third transmission wheel 61.

[0051] The transmission of power is realized by multiple transmission wheels, which is easy to implement, and the transmission wheels are connected by meshing. After the transmission wheels stop, they can maintain the current state to prevent them from rotating again, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the transmission wheels. And through the second transmission wheel 51 and the third transmission wheel 61, the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 can rotate synchronously in opposite directions.

[0052] In this embodiment, a power wheel 21 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 2, and the power wheel 21 is meshed with the first transmission wheel 32. The rotation of the motor 2 is output through the power wheel 21, which is convenient to implement.

[0053] The distances between adjacent first support plates 31 away from one end of the first transmission shaft 3 are all L1, and the vertical distance between the handles of adjacent storage baskets 11 is W1, where L1=W1.

[0054] It is ensured that each of the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 can realize the support of the bottom storage basket 11 after rotation. In the actual design process, L1 can also be designed to be slightly smaller than W1 for easy insertion.

[0055] In this embodiment, there are four first support plates 31 and four second support plates 41 .

[0056] The storage basket hopper 1 is provided with a cavity 12 at the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4. By providing the cavity, the first transmission shaft 3 and the first support plate 31 are prevented from hitting the side wall of the storage basket hopper 1 during the rotation process.

[0057] In this embodiment, the height of the cavity 12 is H1, the radii of the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 are both R, the radial length of the first support plate 31 along the first transmission shaft 3 and the radial length of the second support plate 41 along the second transmission shaft 4 are both L2, H1>R+L2.

[0058] The height of the cavity 12 is designed to be as high as possible to prevent the first support plate 31 from hitting the side wall of the storage basket hopper 1 when the first transmission shaft 3 and the second transmission shaft 4 rotate abnormally and cause shaft jump.

[0059] In this embodiment, the longest horizontal length of the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 rotated into the storage basket funnel 1 is L3, and the horizontal length of the handle of the storage basket 11 is W2, W2 ≥ L3.

[0060] The contact area between the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 41 and the handle of the storage basket 11 is increased to ensure that the supporting effect of the storage basket 11 is improved when the motor 2 is not rotating.
