[0003] However, traditional palletizers lack automatic weight detection and control mechanisms when performing plate stacking operations, and are unable to effectively monitor whether the height of the plate stack exceeds the safety threshold, resulting in excessive stacking during the stacking process, increasing the safety risks of operators and equipment, and may also affect the quality and efficiency of palletizing. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 An embodiment of the utility model provides an automatic palletizing mechanism with weight protection, comprising: a frame 1 and a palletizing mechanism installed on the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1.

[0021] Among them, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The stacking mechanism includes a rodless cylinder 14 symmetrically installed on the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1, and a telescopic cylinder 15 is installed on the rodless cylinder 14 through a slider. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 15 is fixedly connected with a lifting rod 18. When the stacking mechanism is in use, the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1 start the telescopic cylinder 15 to extend the lifting rod 18 into the bottom of the stacked plate, and lift the plate upward through the rodless cylinder 14, so as to facilitate the movement of the new plate to the bottom of the original stacked plate, thereby completing the stacking operation of the plate.

[0022] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, a rotating shaft 4 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the top of the frame 1, and both ends of the rotating shaft 4 are fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 5, and fixed plates 2 are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1, and the tops of the two fixed plates 2 are rotatably connected to the threaded rods 3, and the tops of the two threaded rods 3 are fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 6, and every two adjacent first bevel gears 5 and second bevel gears 6 are meshed and connected, and a motor 11 is installed at the bottom of one of the fixed plates 2, and the rotating shaft of the motor 11 passes through the fixed plate 2 and is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the threaded rod 3, and the outer walls of the two threaded rods 3 are threadedly connected with movable plates 7, and infrared transmitting tubes 10 and infrared receiving tubes 9 are symmetrically installed on the opposite sides of the two movable plates 7.

[0023] When the motor 11 is in use, it can drive one of the threaded rods 3 to rotate, and drive the other threaded rod 3 to rotate simultaneously under the transmission of the first bevel gear 5 and the second bevel gear 6, so that the infrared transmitting tube 10 and the infrared receiving tube 9 can adjust the height, thereby realizing the emission and reception height adjustment of the infrared signal.

[0024] Further, see Figure 1 A touch screen 12 is installed on one side of the frame 1, and a single-chip microcomputer is integrated inside the touch screen 12. The touch screen 12 is electrically connected to the telescopic cylinder 15 and the rodless cylinder 14 through the single-chip microcomputer, and the signal output ends of the infrared transmitting tube 10 and the infrared receiving tube 9 are both connected to the single-chip microcomputer signal inside the touch screen 12.

[0025] When the infrared transmitting tube 10 and the infrared receiving tube 9 are in operation, the infrared transmitting tube 10 can continuously send infrared signals and use the infrared receiving tube 9 to receive infrared signals. When the height of the stacked plates exceeds and blocks the infrared signal, the single chip microcomputer in the touch screen 12 can recognize that the signal is interrupted, the height of the stacked plates exceeds the threshold, and the operation of the stacking mechanism is stopped, thereby preventing the stacking weight of the plates from being too large during the stacking process, thereby achieving the function of protecting against overweight stacking.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, at least two cylinders 16 are symmetrically installed on the bottom inner wall of the frame 1, and a damping block 17 is slidably installed inside the cylinder 16. A spring 19 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the cylinder 16. When the plate is lifted and lowered for stacking, the bottom of the plate can contact the damping block 17 on the cylinder 16, and the contraction of the spring 19 can buffer the downward stacking of the plate.

[0027] Specifically, a shield 13 is installed outside the motor 11 , and the shield 13 can cover and protect the motor 11 .

[0028] According to the above technical scheme, the working steps of this scheme are summarized and sorted out: when the utility model is used, the inner walls on both sides of the frame 1 start the telescopic cylinder 15 to extend the lifting rod 18 into the bottom of the stacked plate, and lift the plate upward through the rodless cylinder 14, so as to facilitate the movement of the new plate to the bottom of the original stacked plate, thereby completing the stacking operation of the plate.

[0029] When the infrared transmitting tube 10 and the infrared receiving tube 9 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 1 are in operation, the infrared transmitting tube 10 can continuously send infrared signals and use the infrared receiving tube 9 to receive infrared signals. When the height of the stacked plates exceeds and blocks the infrared signal, the single chip microcomputer in the touch screen 12 can recognize the signal interruption, the height of the stacked plates exceeds the threshold, and the operation of the stacking mechanism is stopped, thereby preventing the stacking weight of the plates from being too large during the stacking process, thereby achieving the function of protecting against overweight stacking.

[0030] In addition, by starting the motor 11, one of the threaded rods 3 can be driven to rotate, and the other threaded rod 3 can be driven to rotate simultaneously under the transmission of the first bevel gear 5 and the second bevel gear 6, so that the infrared transmitting tube 10 and the infrared receiving tube 9 can adjust the height, thereby realizing the emission and reception height adjustment of infrared signals. When the height is increased, the stacking plates can be stacked more and the stacking weight is increased. When the height is reduced, the stacking plates can be stacked less and the stacking weight is reduced, thereby realizing the threshold adjustment of the stacking weight protection.

[0031] Parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by the prior art. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
