Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of linkage of palletizers, and in particular to a multi-axis linkage composite assembly and disassembly palletizer. Background Art

[0002] In the actual production process, it is often necessary to move a large number of pallets to the material truck at one time, sometimes several, or even up to a dozen. Conversely, when moving pallets from the material truck, the same situation of large numbers will also be faced. However, relying on manpower to complete such a moving work will cause a series of serious problems and hidden dangers.

[0003] First of all, manual handling is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Carrying such a large number of pallets requires a lot of time and physical strength, which not only reduces work efficiency, but also makes workers easily feel exhausted; secondly, there is a risk of property loss. Due to the large number of pallets, improper operation during the handling process can easily cause damage to the pallets or even damage the items they carry, causing unnecessary property losses; thirdly, personal safety hazards cannot be ignored. For example, the height of the material truck is relatively high. When carrying pallets to the upper level, if the pallets are not placed in the right position, they are very likely to fall during the subsequent placement and transportation process. Once they fall, they may injure the staff and pose a great threat to personal safety.

[0004] At present, although there are many fully automatic palletizers on the market, most of them are XZ two-axis systems, and XYZ three-axis compound palletizers are relatively rare. When the placement of pallets on each layer of the material cart is very different, it is difficult for the double-axis palletizer to play its automatic assembly and disassembly function. In this case, it is necessary to rely on manual placement of each layer of pallets in a neat and consistent manner, and then unload the pallets through the palletizer. This undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of disassembly, wastes a lot of manpower, and seriously delays the progress of work. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary for us to carry out innovative designs based on the original palletizers to improve work efficiency, reduce risks, and ensure the safety of personnel and property. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport pallets to the material cart during the production process, which is easy to cause property losses and endanger personal safety, a multi-axis linkage composite assembly and disassembly palletizer is provided. The utility model uses a palletizer slide to remove the pallet from the multi-layer material cart of incoming materials, and then uses a hoist and a palletizer slide to transport the pallet to the subsequent platform or material channel, and realizes the multi-axis composite linkage disassembly and stacking function through the cooperation of the hoist and the palletizer slide.

[0006] The technical means adopted by the utility model are as follows:

[0007] A multi-axis linkage composite loading and unloading palletizer, comprising: a hoist and a palletizer slide;

[0008] The palletizer slide is connected to the hoist by screws;

[0009] The hoist is composed of a frame, a servo motor I, a ball screw and a machine base, a guide rail slider, a slide plate, a drag chain and an electrical board. The servo motor I is connected to the ball screw and the machine base by bolts. The guide rail slider is connected to the frame by bolts. The slide plate is connected to the machine base and the slider by bolts. The wire harness on the slide plate is connected to the lower electrical board through the drag chain;

[0010] The palletizer slide is composed of a cantilever beam, a servo motor II, a transverse movement module, a slide plate, a hook plate, a linear guide rail, a clamping cylinder, a lifting cylinder, a pin cylinder, and a lower cross beam. The servo motor II is connected to the transverse movement module by screws, and then the whole is connected to the cantilever beam by screws. The hook plate is connected to the slide plate by screws, and then the whole is installed on the transverse movement module by screws. The linear guide rail is connected to the cantilever beam by screws. The clamping cylinder is connected to the lower cross beam by screws and a transfer plate. The pin cylinder is connected to the lower cross beam by screws and a transfer plate.

[0011] Further, the shape of the hook plate is fork-shaped, and square holes are reserved around the pallet to realize the hook plate hooking the pallet.

[0012] Further, the pallet needs to be taken out of the material truck by the reciprocating movement of the palletizer slide twice. The first time, the pallet is hooked out of the vehicle body by hooking the square hole reserved on the pallet by the hook plate. The second time, the hook plate hooks the outer edge of the pallet to completely hook the pallet onto the palletizer slide.

[0013] Further, after the pallet is in place, the switch on the palletizer slide gives an order, and the pin cylinder inserts the positioning pin into the pallet positioning hole to ensure that the position deviation of the pallet on the palletizer slide does not exceed 0.1 mm. After accurate positioning, the robot grabs the workpiece from the pallet and transfers it to the next station.

[0014] Further, after the pallet is in place, it is transported to the next station through the transverse movement module, and the multi-axis composite linkage loading and unloading palletizing function is realized through the cooperation of the hoist and the palletizer slide.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0034] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a multi-axis linkage composite loading / unloading and palletizing machine includes: a hoist 1 and a palletizing machine slide 2;

[0035] The palletizing machine slide 2 is connected to the hoist 1 by screws;

[0036] The hoist 1 is composed of a frame body 4, a servo motor I 5, a ball screw and a machine base 6, a guide rail slider 7, a slide plate 8, a drag chain 9 and an electric board 10. The servo motor I 5 is connected to the ball screw and the machine base 6 by bolts. The guide rail slider 7 is connected to the frame body 4 by bolts.
