AI Technical Summary
In the existing barrel making workshop, feeding of pallets requires manual or manipulators, resulting in high costs and the multi-dimensional control and clamping unit settings of the manipulators increase costs.
A pallet feeding mechanism on an automatic stacking line is designed. Using the coordination of the positioning groove and step groove on the pallet with the hydraulic cylinder push rod, the top pallet is lifted up and sent into the conveying line through the upward movement of the hydraulic cylinder push rod and the action of the wedge block.
The automatic feeding of the pallet is realized, which reduces dependence on the robot, reduces costs, simplifies the operating space of the grab mechanism, and improves the feeding efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of barrel making equipment and relates to a support plate feeding mechanism on an automatic stacking line. Background Art
[0002] When stacking in the barrel making workshop, barrels are stacked one by one on pallets to form multiple barrel stacks in a columnar shape on the pallets. The top of the barrel stack is then pressed with a cover plate and finally wrapped with a protective film. The barrels are placed between the pallet and the cover plate and finally transferred with a forklift. The pallets need to be delivered to the line one by one. At present, the optional solutions are to manually deliver the pallets or to use robots to deliver the pallets to the conveyor line one by one. Both the manual and robot operation methods have high costs. The robot not only needs multi-dimensional control, but also needs to set up a clamping unit for the pallet, which leads to an increase in the cost of such robots. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pallet feeding mechanism on an automatic stacking line in view of the above problems existing in the prior art. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to realize the feeding of pallets one by one.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a pallet feeding mechanism on an automatic stacking line, characterized in that the pallet includes a plate body and a positioning groove and a step groove located at the center of the plate body, the positioning groove and the step groove are interconnected, the feeding mechanism includes a support plate and a hydraulic cylinder, the support plate has a through hole adapted to the positioning groove and the step groove, the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder has a limiting portion adapted to the positioning groove and a mounting portion adapted to the step groove, the two ends of the mounting portion respectively have a wedge block, the inclined surface of the wedge block faces downward, and a return spring in a compressed state is connected between the two wedge blocks.
[0005] The support plate is fixed on the frame, the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder is also fixed on the frame, the pallets are stacked on the support plate, the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the support plate, and all the pallets are sleeved on the push rod. The positioning sleeve and the step groove limit the position of the pallet, and the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder retracts a small displacement to make the wedge block disengage from the upper surface of the step groove, and then controls the push rod to move up. At this time, the wedge block rests on the step surface of the lower surface of the step groove, and the push rod is still in a state of cooperation with the topmost pallet. The push rod moves upward to lift the topmost pallet, and the lifted pallet is grabbed by the grabbing mechanism and sent to the conveyor line. In this way, the pallets can be stacked, and after the top pallet is lifted, it is convenient for the grabbing mechanism to grab it. The grabbing mechanism only needs to complete the three actions of grabbing, lifting and translating. In comparison, if a manipulator is used to directly transport the pallet, positioning, lifting and translating are required, and there is a lack of good grabbing operation space. The cost of the manipulator with increased handling and positioning functions will also be high. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] 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.
[0013] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 1 includes a plate body 11 and a positioning groove 2 and a step groove 3 located at the center of the plate body 11, the positioning groove 2 and the step groove 3 are interconnected, the feeding mechanism includes a support plate 4 and a hydraulic cylinder 5, the support plate 4 has a through hole adapted to the positioning groove 2 and the step groove 3, the push rod 7 of the hydraulic cylinder 5 has a limiting portion adapted to the positioning groove 2 and a mounting portion adapted to the step groove 3, and both ends of the mounting portion are respectively provided with a wedge block 6, the inclined surface of the wedge block 6 faces downward, and a return spring in a compressed state is connected between the two wedge blocks 6.
[0014] The support plate 4 is fixed on the frame, the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is also fixed on the frame, the support plate 1 is stacked on the support plate 4, the push rod 7 of the hydraulic cylinder 5 passes through the support plate 4, all the support plates 1 are sleeved on the push rod 7, the positioning sleeve and the step groove 3 limit the position of the support plate 1, the push rod 7 of the hydraulic cylinder 5 retracts a small displacement to make the wedge block 6 disengage from the upper surface of the step groove 3, and then controls the push rod 7 to move up. At this time, the wedge block 6 abuts against the step surface of the lower surface of the step groove 3, and the push rod 7 is still in a state of matching with the topmost support plate 1. In this way, the pallets 1 can be stacked, and after the top pallet 1 is lifted, it is convenient for the gripping mechanism to grab it. The gripping mechanism only needs to complete three actions: grabbing, lifting and translating. In comparison, if a manipulator is used to directly transport the pallet 1, positioning, lifting and translating are required, and there is a lack of good gripping operation space. The cost of the manipulator with a transport and positioning function will also be higher.
[0015] The positioning groove 2 and the step groove 3 can have the same structure, both of which are strip-shaped and perpendicular to each other. The positioning groove 2 may not be provided with a step.
[0016] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. A person skilled in the art of the present invention may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner, but this will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
