Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of transportation equipment, and more specifically, relates to a discharging platform, a palletizing workstation and a depalletizing workstation. Background Art
[0002] Palletizing or depalletizing is a common process in the logistics transportation process. During the transportation process after palletizing or before depalletizing, the stacked pallets are usually transported by forklift to the inlet of the depalletizing device, or picked up and transferred from the outlet of the palletizing device.
[0003] Take the palletizing device as an example.
[0004] Generally speaking, when picking up a stack from a palletizing device, the forklift can only move forward / backward in a single direction to pick up the stack due to the size of the palletizing device's discharge port. Since a fixed picking direction is generally set at the bottom of the pallet, when the placement direction of the pallet in the palletizing device conflicts with the direction that the forklift can pick up at the discharge port of the palletizing device, it will be difficult for the forklift to pick up the stack smoothly at the discharge port. Based on this, when the pallet enters the palletizing position for stacking, its placement direction must first be adjusted to meet the forking requirements, which increases the complexity of the operation.

Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
[0031] In the description of the present application, “plurality” means two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0032] Please also read Figures 1 to 4 , the discharging platform provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described.
[0033] It should be noted that the discharge platform described in the present application is used for a forklift to fork or release a pallet on its discharge platform A. Generally, the discharge platform is arranged at a discharge port or a feed port of an operating equipment, such as a palletizing workstation or a depalletizing workstation.
[0034] On conventional palletizing workstations or depalletizing workstations and other operating equipment, there is generally only one direction in which the forklift can pick up and place pallets at its inlet or outlet, that is, the forklift can move forward / backward in a single direction to pick up and place pallets; as a result, the placement direction of the pallet in the operating equipment needs to take into account the forking direction of the forklift, which in turn generates the operating step of adjusting the pallet position, thereby increasing the complexity of the operation.
[0035] For this purpose, refer to Figure 1 In the first aspect embodiment of the present application, a discharging platform is proposed, on which a discharging table A is formed, and at least two adjacent sides of the discharging table A can be connected to a ramp 300 so that a forklift can fork or release a pallet on the discharging table A through the ramp 300.
[0036] Specifically, at least two conveyor lines 100 are arranged side by side and spaced apart along the second direction on the discharge table A. The conveyor line 100 is a synchronous transmission mechanism, for example, it can be a chain 130 transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, etc. It should be noted that a support module 500 is arranged along the conveying direction and on one side close to the conveying surface within the span interval of the conveyor line 100. The support module 500 is used to prevent the conveyor line 100 from collapsing in the transmission interval.
[0037] Each conveyor line 100 is extended along a first direction perpendicular to the second direction, and is used to convey the pallet in the first direction. That is, one end of the conveyor line 100 is connected to the production line of the conveyor line 100 equipment, and the pallet with the stack enters the first conveyor line 100 from the production line and is conveyed to the forking position by the first conveyor line 100, or is transferred from the conveyor line 100 to the production line at the forking position.
[0038] A second support surface C is formed on the discharge table A between the two conveyor lines 100. The second support surface C is also a partial area of the discharge table A. This area has good structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity so that a forklift can move freely thereon.
[0039] Furthermore, support bars 110 are arranged in an array along the first direction on the conveyor line 100. The support bars 110 are extended along the second direction and are made of a material with high rigidity so as to have a good load-bearing capacity. The support bars 110 on the same conveyor line 100 are laid together to form a first support surface B, that is, the width of the first support surface B is the length of the support bars 110, and the length of the first support surface B is the transmission length of the conveyor line 100.
[0040] By providing the support bar 110 on the conveyor line 100, the first support surface B has good rigidity in the second direction, that is, the area of the first support surface B also has good load-bearing capacity. Since the second support surface C can be moved by the forklift in any direction, the forklift can enter the area of the second support surface C on the discharge table A through the slope 300 at the front end of the discharge platform to fork or release the pallet, and can also enter the area of the first support surface B of the discharge table A from the slope 300 on the side of the discharge table A to fork or release the pallet.
[0041] In this way, no matter how the pallets are placed on the discharge table A, the forklift can enter the discharge table A from the slopes 300 on different sides of the discharge platform according to the placement direction of the pallets to pick up and place the pallets; or, when the working space on one side of the discharge platform is not sufficient for the forklift to move, the forklift can enter the discharge table A from the slope 300 on the other side of the discharge platform to pick up and place the pallets.
[0042] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, a plurality of conveyor lines 100 are provided. At least one conveyor line 100 forms a conveyor group. For example, a conveyor group may be composed of one or two conveyor lines 100 arranged side by side, and the second support surface C is formed between two adjacent groups of conveyor lines 100.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, three conveyor groups are arranged side by side and two second support surfaces C are arranged, and each conveyor group on both sides of the discharge platform A includes two conveyor lines 100 arranged side by side. In this way, when the forklift enters the discharge platform A from the slope 300 at the front end of the discharge platform, each wheel group of the forklift can be located on the two second support surfaces C, that is, the forklift wheel group rolls only on the second support surface C; and when the forklift enters the discharge platform A from the slope 300 on the side of the discharge platform, each wheel group of the forklift rolls across each first support surface B and the second support surface C.
[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the conveyor line 100 is a chain 130 transmission mechanism. Specifically, each conveyor line 100 includes at least two groups of chain 130 mechanisms arranged side by side in the second direction, for example, two groups, three groups, four groups, etc. The chain 130 structure includes a chain 130 and at least two sprockets 120. In the same conveyor line 100, the support bar 110 connects each of the chains 130 arranged side by side, and the support bar 110 is fixed to each link of the chain 130 by bolts.
[0045] It is understandable that each group of conveyor lines 100 is driven by the same driving device 400. Specifically, a driving device 400 is provided on one side of the discharge platform, and the driving device 400 may be a motor or the like. A driving shaft is provided in the discharge platform, and the axial direction of the driving shaft is provided along the second direction, and each sprocket 120 at the same end of each conveyor line 100 is fixedly provided on the driving shaft, so that when the driving shaft is driven to rotate by the driving device 400, each conveyor line 100 can be synchronously driven, thereby realizing the transfer of the pallet to the fork pick-up position of the forklift.
[0046] refer to Figures 1 to 4 On the basis of any of the above embodiments, a plurality of support modules 500 are provided in the discharging platform, and each conveying line 100 and each second support surface C are respectively provided in each support module 500. By providing the support modules 500, it is possible to effectively prevent the conveying line 100 or the second support surface C from collapsing, so as to improve the carrying capacity of the discharging platform.
[0047] Furthermore, each support module 500 is arranged side by side in the second direction and can be disassembled. That is, each second support surface C or each conveyor line 100 can be disassembled. In this way, the unloading platform can increase or decrease the number of second support surfaces C and / or conveyor lines 100 according to the size of the actual pallet to adapt to pallets and forklifts of different sizes, thereby enhancing its adaptability.
[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some specific embodiments, each support module 500 includes a support plate 510, two support longitudinal beams 520, and a plurality of support cross beams 530. The support longitudinal beams 520 are extended along the first direction, each support cross beam 530 connects two support longitudinal beams 520, and the support plate 510 is mounted on each support cross beam 530.
[0049] It should be noted that the reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the support module 500 corresponding to the conveyor line 100, the support plate 510 abuts against the chain 130 to support the chain 130 and prevent the chain 130 from collapsing, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the conveyor line 100; and in the support module 500 corresponding to the second support surface C area, the top surface of the support plate 510 is also the second support surface C.
[0050] In some embodiments, a mounting position is provided on the side of the discharge platform, and the mounting position may be a hole position, a clamping position, etc. The mounting position is used to connect a fixed ramp 300 so that a forklift can enter and exit the discharge platform through the ramp 300 to pick up and place pallets.
[0051] In the second embodiment of the present application, a palletizing workstation is proposed. The palletizing workstation includes a palletizing device and a discharging platform arranged at the palletizing device outlet. Through such an arrangement, on the one hand, in the palletizing workstation, the pallets can be placed in multiple directions, and there are fewer restrictions on the placement of the pallets, and the appropriate pallet placement direction can be selected according to the actual volume of the objects to be stacked; on the other hand, since the discharging platform allows for forklifts to fork pallets in at least two directions, the palletizing workstation outlet has lower requirements on the size of the space, so that the space required for the site is smaller and the adaptability is stronger.
[0052] In the third embodiment of the present application, a depalletizing workstation is proposed. The depalletizing workstation includes a depalletizing device and a discharging platform disposed at the inlet of the depalletizing device. Through such an arrangement, on the one hand, in the depalletizing workstation, the pallets can be placed in multiple directions, and there are fewer restrictions on the placement of the pallets, and the appropriate placement direction of the pallets can be selected according to the actual volume of the depalletized objects; on the other hand, since the inlet platform allows for forklifts to fork pallets in at least two directions, the inlet of the depalletizing workstation has lower requirements on the size of the space, so that the space required for the site is smaller and the adaptability is stronger.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
