[0023] Embodiment

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 shown is a schematic diagram of the feed bin in the background art;

[0025] For the feed bin adapted to be used by the present device, ribs 4 and extensions 5 protruding from the side wall are further provided on the side wall of the box body 1; the protruding length of the extension 5 is greater than that of the rib 4.

[0026] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, Figure 2 shown is a schematic diagram of the stacking and unloading device in the embodiment; Figure 3 shown is a schematic diagram of the cooperation of the feed bin stacking in the embodiment;

[0027] The present device includes:

[0028] A transport structure 10 rotatably provided with a plurality of rollers 11;

[0029] A fixed frame 20 is provided on both sides of the transport structure 10. A support plate 21 is provided at one end of the fixed frame 20 close to the roller 11 in a lifting manner. When the feed bin a is transported on the roller 11 until the support plate 21 is located below the rib 4, it stops. The support plate 21 moves upward, and the support plate 21 abuts against the rib 4 to lift the feed bin a. When the feed bin b is transported to below the feed bin a and stops, the support plate 21 drives the feed bin a to move downward until the clamping plate 3 of the feed bin a is inserted into the opening 2 of the feed bin b, and the stacking of the feed bin a and the feed bin b is completed.

[0030] After the feed bin a and the feed bin b are engaged, when the support plate 21 moves upward, the stacked feed bin a and feed bin b are lifted, and subsequent actions are cycled to complete the subsequent stacking actions.

[0031] The transport direction of the transport structure 10 is Figure 2 the direction indicated by the arrow A in

[0032] In addition, when there are items stored in the bin, this stacking method enables the items stored earlier to be closer to the top layer of the stack, making them easier to retrieve. It conforms to the "first in, first out" principle of materials in warehousing and logistics management, enabling enterprises to optimize inventory management, reduce the risk of waste and expired materials, improve the material turnover rate, and ultimately enhance the overall operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

[0033] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of the stacking and unloading device in the embodiment;

[0034] The transportation structure 10 is provided with a positioning structure, and the positioning structure includes:

[0035] Side plates 12 arranged along the transportation direction of the transportation structure 10. When the box body 1 is transported on the roller 11, the extension part 5 of the box body 1 is always in close contact and sliding contact with the side plate 12 on the corresponding side.

[0036] The positioning structure further includes:

[0037] Two groups of limiting rods 31 arranged between adjacent rollers 11. The two groups of limiting rods 31 are arranged at different positions along the transportation direction. One group of limiting rods 31 away from the feeding end is fixedly arranged and its top is higher than the roller 11, and the other group of limiting rods 31 is movably arranged and its top is higher than or lower than the roller 11;

[0038] The box body 1 stops after being transported along the roller 11 and touching one group of limiting rods 31 away from the feeding end, and the other group of limiting rods 31 extends so that its top is higher than the roller 11 to limit the placement state of the box body 1 when it stops.

[0039] By means of the provided positioning structure, it plays a role in ensuring the accuracy of the position of the bin transported to the pallet 21; the side plates 12 arranged along the transportation direction of the transportation structure 10 play a guiding role for the bin during transportation, and one group of limiting rods 31 away from the feeding end blocks the bin transported, making it stop, and the other group of movably arranged limiting rods 31 extends when the bin stops, further limiting the bin to prevent the position of the bin from shifting when it is engaged and stacked with adjacent bins.

[0040] A first driving member 32 is arranged below one group of limiting rods 31 close to the feeding end. The output end of the first driving member 32 is connected to the upper limiting rod 31 to drive the limiting rod 31 to move in the vertical direction so that the top of the limiting rod 31 is higher than or lower than the roller 11;

[0041] The number of each group of limiting rods 31 is set to two;

[0042] Specifically, the first driving member 32 is an electric telescopic rod, which plays a role in driving the connected limiting rod 31 to move in the vertical direction.

[0043] As Figure 2 shown Figure 2 shown is a schematic diagram of the stacking and unloading device in the embodiment.

[0044] It further includes a driving structure. The driving structure includes a screw rod 41 rotatably arranged along the vertical direction on the inner side wall of the fixed frame 20. A first sleeve 42 is sleeved outside the screw rod 41. The first sleeve 42 is in threaded cooperation with the screw rod 41. A guide rod 44 parallel to the screw rod 41 is further arranged on the inner side wall of the fixed frame 20. A second sleeve 45 is slidably sleeved outside the guide rod 44. The support plate 21 is connected to both the first sleeve 42 and the second sleeve 45.

[0045] The driving structure further includes a second driving member 43. The second driving member 43 is arranged on the inner side wall of the fixed frame 20. The output end of the second driving member 43 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 41. The second driving member 43 drives the screw rod 41 to rotate to drive the support plate 21 to move in the vertical direction.

[0046] By means of the arranged driving structure, the function of driving the support plate 21 to move in the vertical direction is realized. Specifically, the second driving member 43 is a motor. The second driving member 43 drives the screw rod 41 to rotate. Under the limiting cooperation of the guide rod 44 and the second sleeve 45, the first sleeve 42 in threaded cooperation with the screw rod 41 moves up and down, so that the first sleeve 42 drives the support plate 21 to move up and down.

[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
