[0023] The following will further describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The present utility model provides an automatic material collecting and palletizing device, which has a feeding station, a palletizing station and a material collecting station. As Figure 1 shown, an automatic material collecting and palletizing device according to an embodiment includes a feeding mechanism 10, a driving mechanism 20, an elastic pressing mechanism 30 and a material collecting mechanism 40. Among them, the feeding mechanism 10 is located at the feeding station, and the feeding mechanism 10 is used to supply pallets; the driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the pallets to move along the conveying path, and the conveying path sequentially passes through the feeding station, the palletizing station and the material collecting station; the elastic pressing mechanism 30 is located at the palletizing station, and the elastic pressing mechanism 30 is used to press and fix the pallets to facilitate material placement on the pallets; the material collecting mechanism 40 is located at the material collecting station, and the material collecting mechanism 40 is used to collect the pallets that have completed material placement through the palletizing station.

[0025] In the automatic material collecting and palletizing device of the present utility model, a feeding mechanism 10 is provided to supply pallets. A driving mechanism 20 transports the stack of pallets at the feeding station one by one along the conveying path. An elastic pressing mechanism 30 presses and fixes the pallets and places materials at the palletizing station. A material collecting mechanism 40 collects the pallets filled with materials one by one. The whole process has a high degree of automation, reduces frequent manual operations, reduces the labor intensity of workers, saves labor costs, and improves work efficiency at the same time.

[0026] For the convenience of description and understanding, the conveying path is defined as the left-right direction, the first direction is defined as the front-back direction, and the second direction is defined as the up-down direction.

[0027] It should be noted that when the automatic material collecting and palletizing device is working, multiple empty pallets are stacked and placed on the feeding mechanism 10 at the feeding station. The driving mechanism 20 transports the pallets one by one along the conveying path. The material collecting mechanism 40 collects the pallets filled with materials one by one and stacks them up. Finally, the worker takes out the stack of pallets filled with materials.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 - 3 shown, the feeding mechanism 10 includes a tray assembly 11 and a tray separating assembly 12. The tray assembly 11 is used to hold up the stack of pallets stacked at the feeding station to facilitate the removal of the bottom pallet. The tray separating assembly 12 is used to separate the bottom pallet from the second pallet counted from the bottom.

[0029] Specifically, the tray assembly 11 includes a support member 111 and a first positioning member 112. The support member 111 is used to support the stack of pallets stacked at the feeding station. The support member 111 has a length extending along the conveying path. The first positioning member 112 is used to position the stack of pallets stacked at the feeding station. There are two support members 111 which are spaced apart. The support member 111 has a length extending along the left-right direction. The two support members 111 are respectively located at both ends of the pallet to support the pallet. The first positioning member 112 is a limit block. There are four limit blocks which are spaced apart and enclose a receiving space. The stack of pallets is placed in the receiving space, and the four corners of the pallet are in contact with the limit blocks to realize the restriction of the degrees of freedom of the stack of pallets on the horizontal plane.

[0030] Specifically, the disk dividing assembly 12 includes an inserting element 121, a first driving member 122, and a second driving member 123. The inserting element 121 is used to separate the bottommost material tray from the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray. The first driving member 122 can drive the inserting element 121 to move in the front-rear direction and move it to be inserted between the bottommost material tray and the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray. The second driving member 123 can drive the inserting element 121 to move up and down to lift the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray upward. After the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray is lifted, only one material tray is placed on the support member 111. The driving mechanism 20 pushes the material tray placed on the support member 111 to move it to the tray placing station along the conveying path to the right. Subsequently, the second driving member 123 drives the whole stack of material trays to move downward to be placed back on the support member 111. The first driving member 122 drives the inserting element 121 to move in the front-rear direction to be inserted between the bottommost material tray and the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray. After the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray is lifted, only one material tray is placed on the support member 111. The driving mechanism 20 pushes the material tray placed on the support member 111 to move it to the tray placing station along the conveying path to the right. The above actions are repeated in a cycle.

[0031] It should be noted that the inserting element 121 is inserted between the bottommost material tray and the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray, and drives the second material tray counted from the bottommost material tray to be lifted under the drive of the second driving member 123. The one material tray remaining on the support member 111 will not be blocked by the first positioning member 112 during the process of being conveyed by the driving mechanism 20. It can be understood that there is a spacing between the bottom of the first positioning member 112 and the upper surface of the support member 111 for at least one material tray to pass through.

[0032] In this embodiment, the elastic pressing mechanism 30 includes a first limiting member 31 and an elastic pressing block 32. There are two first limiting members 31 which are arranged oppositely in the front-rear direction. The two first limiting members 31 are respectively located on both sides of the material tray to limit the position of the material tray in the rear direction. The elastic pressing block 32 is installed on one of the first limiting members 31 and is used to press the material tray between the two first limiting members 31.

[0033] Specifically, the driving mechanism 20 pushes the material tray to the right to the tray placing station. The material tray is located between the two first limiting members 31, and the two first limiting members 31 limit the freedom degree of the material tray in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the elastic pressing block 32 is installed on the front first limiting member 31. During the process that the material tray gradually moves between the two first limiting members 31, the material tray squeezes the elastic pressing block 32, and at the same time the elastic pressing block 32 exerts a reaction force on the material tray, so that the material tray is clamped between the two first limiting members 31, which is convenient for placing materials on the material tray. After the material tray is filled with materials, the driving mechanism 20 works again to push the material tray to continue moving to the right to the material receiving station.

[0034] In this embodiment, the material receiving mechanism 40 includes a fourth driving member 41, a pallet 42, and a material receiving element 43. The fourth driving member 41 is capable of driving the pallet 42 to move in the vertical direction to drive the tray to move in the vertical direction. The material receiving element 43 allows the tray to move upward from the bottom. When the tray moves downward and approaches the material receiving element 43, the material receiving element 43 can support the tray.

[0035] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , the material receiving element 43 includes a supporting member 431 and a second limiting member 432. The supporting member 431 is used to carry the tray. The supporting member 431 is rotatably connected to the second limiting member 432 and has a connection point. The supporting member 431 allows the tray to pass through by rotating around the connection point when the tray moves upward from the bottom.

[0036] After the empty tray is filled with materials at the tray loading station, it moves towards the material receiving station through the driving mechanism 20. Before reaching the material receiving station, the fourth driving member 41 drives the pallet 42 to move downward to a position below the horizontal plane where the tray is located. The driving mechanism 20 drives the tray to move from the tray loading station to the material receiving station. The fourth driving member 41 drives the pallet 42 to move upward. The pallet 42 moves upward to lift the tray and drive the tray to continue moving upward. The tray moves upward to contact the supporting member 431. After the supporting member 431 receives the upward thrust from the tray, it rotates around the connection point to move the tray through. After the tray passes, it is located above the supporting member 431. The second limiting member 432 has a limiting surface. The supporting member 431 can rotate around the connection point in the direction in which the tray moves, that is, rotate upward. When the supporting member 431 rotates downward, it will abut against the limiting surface to limit the further downward rotation of the supporting member 431. The material receiving element 43 further includes a spring. The spring allows the supporting member 431 to automatically reset to the state of initially abutting against the limiting surface after rotating upward to allow the tray to pass through. In this way, the supporting member 431 can only rotate upward to allow the tray to pass through and then automatically reset. The tray located above the supporting member 431 moves downward under the drive of the fourth drive 41 and is placed on the supporting member 431. The supporting member 431 can support the tray to prevent it from falling.

[0037] In this embodiment, the material receiving element 43 further includes a second positioning member 433 for positioning the stack of trays stacked at the material receiving station. Specifically, the second positioning member 433 is the same as the first positioning member 112, and both are limiting blocks with similar structures.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 20 includes a third driving member 21, a driving block 22, and a guide rail 23. The driving block 22 is slidably connected to the guide rail 23. The guide rail 23 has a length extending along the conveying path, that is, the guide rail 23 has a length extending in the left-right direction. The third driving member 21 is capable of driving the driving block 22 to move along the conveying path. The driving block 22 pushes the tray to move along the length direction of the guide rail 23.
