[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] A plastic pallet side trimming and cutting machine, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, it includes a mounting frame 1. One end inner wall of the mounting frame 1 is equipped with a roller conveyor belt 2. At the other end inner wall of the mounting frame 1, two conveyor belts 8 are arranged in parallel. At the top of the mounting frame 1, a shielding cover 3 is arranged along the movement direction of the conveyor belt 8 from the adjacent end of the conveyor belt 8 and the positioning assembly 7 to the conveyor belt 8. At the bottom end inner wall of the mounting frame 1, a positioning assembly 7 is arranged. The positioning assembly 7 is located between the two conveyor belts 8. At the bottom end inner wall of the mounting frame 1, a telescopic cylinder 9 is installed. The telescopic cylinder 9 is located on the side of the positioning assembly 7 close to the roller conveyor belt 2. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 9 is fixed with an electric turntable 10. The top end inner wall of the shielding cover 3 is connected with a pressing frame 11. The pressing frame 11 is arranged opposite to the telescopic cylinder 9. The bottom end of the pressing frame 11 is rotatably connected with a rotating disc. On the side wall of the mounting frame 1, a first linear driving mechanism 12 is installed. The moving end of the first linear driving mechanism 12 is connected with a second linear driving mechanism 13. The movement directions of the first linear driving mechanism 12 and the second linear driving mechanism 13 are staggered at 90 degrees. The first linear driving mechanism 12 and the second linear driving mechanism 13 are of motor lead screw structure or other linear moving structures. At the bottom outer wall of the moving end of the second linear driving mechanism 13, a cutter 14 and a motor-driven grinding rod 15 are arranged. The combination of the first linear driving mechanism 12 and the second linear driving mechanism 13 is located on one side of the telescopic cylinder 9. On the side wall of the mounting frame 1, an electric telescopic rod one 6 is installed. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod one 6 is installed with a positioning plate 5. The positioning plate 5 is located on both sides of the roller conveyor belt 2. On one side of the mounting frame 1, a waste box 21 is installed. The waste box 21 is a rectangle with one end open. The opening of the waste box 21 faces the pressing frame 11. At the bottom side wall of the waste box 21, a blower 22 is installed. Inside the waste box 21, a blocking plate 23 is installed. The top end of the blocking plate 23 is provided with an inclined surface inclined towards the ground. The positioning assembly 7 includes a fixed seat 16 and a positioning rod 17. The positioning rod 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 16. The outer wall of the rotating shaft of the positioning rod 17 is connected with a notched runner 18. Inside the fixed seat 16, an electric telescopic rod two 19 is installed. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod two 19 is connected with a limiting plate 20. The limiting plate 20 is in limit cooperation with the notch of the notched runner 18. On one side outer wall of the limiting plate 20, a micro switch is installed. The rotating shaft of the positioning rod 17 is connected with a torsion spring.

[0029] During production, the robotic arm grips and transports the pallets produced by injection / blow molding to the top of the roller conveyor belt 2, then the robotic arm releases the pallets, allowing them to fall onto the roller conveyor belt 2. The roller conveyor belt 2 moves the pallets towards the mounting frame 1. The positioning plate 5 corrects the angle of the pallets. Then the pallets move along with the conveyor belt 8. When the pallets move to one side of the positioning assembly 7, the pallets push the positioning rod 17 to rotate. At this time, the second electric telescopic rod 19 pushes the limiting plate 20 into the notch of the notch wheel 18. When the notch wheel 18 rotates a certain angle along with the positioning rod 17, the pallets stop moving. At the same time, the notch wheel 18 presses the microswitch, transmitting an electrical signal to the controller. The telescopic cylinder 9 pushes the electric turntable 10 upwards to lift and hold the pallets, and fixes the pallets through relative extrusion with the pressing frame 11. Then the second linear driving mechanism 13 drives the cutting knife 14 and the grinding rod 15 to cut the sides of the pallets. After one side is cut, the electric turntable 10 drives the pallets to rotate 90 degrees, so that the uncut sides of the pallets move to one side of the second linear driving mechanism 13 for cutting. During the rotation of the pallets, the first linear driving mechanism 12 drives the second linear driving mechanism 13 away from the electric turntable 10. When the pallets finish rotating, the first linear driving mechanism 12 drives the second linear driving mechanism 13 in the reverse direction to approach the pallets. When all four sides of the pallets are cut, the telescopic cylinder 9 drives the pallets to drop, and the conveyor belt 8 drives the pallets to move towards the discharging direction. When cutting the pallets, the second electric telescopic rod 19 drives the limiting plate 20 to move downwards, allowing the positioning rod 17 to rotate freely, so that when the pallets move, they push the positioning rod 17 to rotate and cross the positioning assembly 7. Then the torsion spring drives the positioning rod 17 to reset, and the second electric telescopic rod 19 pushes the limiting plate 20 to rise. During the cutting process, the blower 22 creates a negative pressure inside the waste box 21, sucking the cut waste and grinding debris into the waste box 21 and accumulating them above the blocking plate 23. Since the top of the blocking plate 23 is inclined, the waste and debris will gather towards one side of the blocking plate 23 due to gravity, preventing the blocking plate 23 from being blocked and affecting the suction force.

[0030] By setting the positioning assembly 7, the telescopic cylinder 9, the electric turntable 10, the pressing frame 11, the first linear driving mechanism 12 and the second linear driving mechanism 13, after one side of the pallets is cut, the electric turntable 10 drives the pallets to rotate 90 degrees, so that the uncut sides of the pallets move to one side of the second linear driving mechanism 13 for cutting, and the sides of the pallets can be cut completely with good cutting effect.

[0031] By setting the top of the blocking plate 23 as an inclined surface, the waste and debris will gather towards one side of the blocking plate 23 due to gravity, preventing the blocking plate 23 from being blocked and affecting the collection effect of the waste.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] A plastic pallet side trimming and cutting machine. Based on Embodiment 1, the following improvements are made as Figure 1As shown, a measuring grating 4 is provided at one end of the inner wall of the mounting bracket 1 close to the roller conveyor belt 2, and the detection light emitted by the measuring grating 4 is perpendicular to the ground.

[0034] When the tray moves along the roller conveyor belt 2 past the measuring grating 4, the measuring grating 4 determines the type of the tray according to the width of the blocked detection light and the length of the blocking time, and adjusts the position of the positioning plate 5 and the operating parameters of the second linear drive mechanism 13 and the grinding rod 15 according to the determined type, so as to achieve automatic and precise cutting.

[0035] By providing the measuring grating 4, when the tray moves along the roller conveyor belt 2 past the measuring grating 4, the measuring grating 4 determines the type of the tray according to the width of the blocked detection light and the length of the blocking time, and adjusts the position of the positioning plate 5 and the operating parameters of the second linear drive mechanism 13 and the grinding rod 15 according to the determined type, so as to achieve automatic and precise cutting.

[0036] Working principle: During production, the robotic arm grips and transports the pallets produced by injection molding / blow molding to the top of the roller conveyor belt 2, and then the robotic arm releases the pallets, allowing them to fall onto the roller conveyor belt 2. The roller conveyor belt 2 moves the pallets towards the mounting frame 1. When passing through the measurement grating 4, the measurement grating 4 determines the type of the pallet based on the width of the blocked detection light and the length of the blocking time, and adjusts the position of the positioning plate 5 and the operating parameters of the second linear drive mechanism 13 and the grinding rod 15 according to the determined type. The positioning plate 5 corrects the angle of the pallet. Then the pallet moves with the conveyor belt 8. When the pallet moves to one side of the positioning assembly 7, the pallet pushes the positioning rod 17 to rotate. At this time, the second electric telescopic rod 19 pushes the limiting plate 20 into the notch of the notch wheel 18. When the notch wheel 18 rotates a certain angle with the positioning rod 17, the pallet stops moving. At the same time, the notch wheel 18 presses the microswitch, transmitting an electrical signal to the controller. The telescopic cylinder 9 pushes the electric turntable 10 to rise, lifting the pallet and fixing the pallet by relative extrusion with the pressing frame 11. Then the second linear drive mechanism 13 drives the cutter 14 and the grinding rod 15 to cut the side of the pallet. After one side is cut, the electric turntable 10 drives the pallet to rotate 90 degrees, moving the uncut side of the pallet to one side of the second linear drive mechanism 13 for cutting. During the rotation of the pallet, the first linear drive mechanism 12 drives the second linear drive mechanism 13 away from the electric turntable 10. When the pallet finishes rotating, the first linear drive mechanism 12 drives the second linear drive mechanism 13 to move closer to the pallet in the reverse direction. When all four sides of the pallet are cut, the telescopic cylinder 9 drives the pallet to drop, and the conveyor belt 8 drives the pallet to move towards the discharging direction. When cutting the pallet, the second electric telescopic rod 19 drives the limiting plate 20 to move downward, allowing the positioning rod 17 to rotate freely, so that the pallet can push the positioning rod 17 to rotate when moving, passing over the positioning assembly 7, and then the torsion spring drives the positioning rod 17 to reset, and the second electric telescopic rod 19 pushes the limiting plate 20 to rise; during the cutting process, the fan 22 creates a negative pressure inside the waste box 21, sucking the cut waste and grinding debris into the waste box 21 and accumulating them above the blocking plate 23. Since the top of the blocking plate 23 is inclined, the waste and debris will gather towards one side of the blocking plate 23 due to gravity, preventing the blocking plate 23 from being blocked and affecting the suction force.

[0037] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes, should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
