Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material loading equipment, and more specifically to a tray separation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the existing tray separation mechanism, generally, a negative pressure suction cup is arranged at the bottom of the tray library. Through the lifting of the negative pressure suction cup, the lowermost tray in the tray library is adsorbed and separated. This kind of tray separation mechanism needs to rely on the negative pressure suction cup for tray separation, has a complex structure, and the tray separation efficiency is also relatively low.

[0003] There are also some tray separation mechanisms that set a separation structure at the bottom of the tray library. In the initial state, the support piece supports the edge of the lowermost tray, thereby supporting all the trays in the tray library. When tray separation is required, the cylinder is used to drive the separation piece to insert between the lowermost tray and its upper tray. The separation piece supports the edge of the upper tray of the lowermost tray, and then the support moves away from the edge of the lowermost tray and moves between the lowermost tray and its upper tray to support the edge of the upper tray of the lowermost tray. The separation piece moves downward to push the lowermost tray and its upper tray to separate. After separation, the lowermost tray drops onto the tray conveying mechanism, and the separation piece resets to wait for the next separation. This kind of tray separation mechanism requires more actuating components, and the action coordination between them is complex, and the structure is complex. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to overcome the defects and deficiencies existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a tray separation mechanism. The invention purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem of the complex structure of the existing tray separation mechanism. The tray separation mechanism of the utility model includes a support fork and a separation fork. The support component and the separation component are arranged oppositely, and the support fork is located on one side of the tray, and the separation component is located on the other side of the tray. The two move synchronously. The driving mechanism drives the separation component and the support fork to reciprocate linearly. The top surface of the separation fork is higher than the top surface of the support fork. An arc transition is arranged at the front end and the bottom surface of the separation component. In the initial state, the support fork supports the edge of the lowermost tray. In the separation state, the support fork retreats, and the separation fork inserts between the lowermost tray and the edge of its upper tray. As the depth of the separation component inserted between the lowermost tray and its upper tray increases, the arc transition surface and the bottom surface at the front end of the separation component separate the lowermost tray and its upper tray. After the separation is completed, after the separation fork and the support component reset, the support fork supports the edge of the upper tray, and this upper tray becomes the lowermost tray. The utility model uses the linear reciprocating motion of the separation component and the support fork to realize the separation of the tray, and its motion action is simple and the structure is simple.

[0005] To solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present utility model is realized through the following technical solutions.

The height difference between the top surface of the separation member and the top surface of the support member is determined by the distance between the edge of the lowermost tray and the edge of the upper tray stacked on the lowermost tray. The thickness of the front end of the separation member facing the tray gradually increases along the length direction of the separation member, and the thickness of the thickest part of the separation member is greater than the distance between the edge of the lowermost tray and the edge of the upper tray stacked on the lowermost tray.

The support member gradually withdraws, and the front end of the separation member is inserted between the edge of the lowermost tray and the edge of the upper tray stacked on the lowermost tray. As the separation member continues to be inserted, the bottom surface of the separation member presses the edge of the lowermost tray to separate the lowermost tray from the upper tray. After separation, the driving assembly drives the support assembly and the separation assembly to reset, and the support member supports the edge of the upper tray, and the upper tray becomes the lowermost tray.

[0009] Preferably, the tray separation mechanism further includes a separation frame. The separation frame is located at the bottom of the tray library. The support assembly and the separation assembly are assembled on the separation frame, and the driving assembly is connected to the separation frame to drive the separation frame to make a linear reciprocating motion.

The height difference between the top surface of the separation member 6 and the top surface of the support member 5 is determined by the distance between the edge of the lowermost tray 7 and the edge of the upper tray 8 stacked on the lowermost tray 7. The thickness of the separation member 6 gradually increases along the length direction of the separation member 6 towards the front end of the tray, and the thickness of the thickest part of the separation member 6 is greater than the distance between the edge of the lowermost tray 7 and the edge of the upper tray 8 stacked on the lowermost tray 7;
