When the pallet is placed on the pallet 36, the compression spring 39 below the pallet 36 starts to be compressed downward by a small distance under the influence of gravity. This process is repeated, and the empty pallets are stacked on the pallet 36 and finally removed by the staff.
[0033] As Figure 2 shown, the lifting and clamping device 8 further includes a lifting device 27. The lifting device 27 includes a lifting cylinder 28 and a lifting guide rod 29. The lifting cylinder 28 is fixedly installed on the slider plate 26. The lifting guide rod 29 is slidably fitted with a guide hole 30 on the slider plate 26. The output end of the lifting cylinder 28 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the lifting and clamping device 8, and the lifting of the lifting and clamping mechanism is adjusted through the lifting cylinder 28.
[0034] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the tilting device 9 is provided with a drive source 12 and a chain drive structure 13. The chain drive structure 13 includes a driving shaft 14 and a driven shaft 15. The driven shaft 15 is arranged on both sides of the tilting device 9 and is cooperatively connected with the clamping device 10. Sprockets 16 are installed on the driving shaft 14 and the driven shaft 15 and are drivingly connected by a chain 17. The sprockets 16 are cooperatively installed at both ends of the driving shaft 14. The drive source 12 drives the chain drive structure 13 to control the tilting and discharging of the clamping device 10. The drive source 12 is arranged in the middle of the driving shaft 14. The drive source 12 is provided with a push cylinder 18 and a rack 19. The output end of the push cylinder 18 is fixedly installed with the end of the rack 19. A gear 20 is also installed in the middle of the driving shaft 14. Cylinder support frames 31 are arranged on both sides of the gear 20. The push cylinder 18 is fixedly installed on the cylinder support frames 31. Convex ridges 32 are arranged inside the cylinder support frames 31. The convex ridges 32 are in sliding cooperation with the sliding grooves 33 on the rack 19.

The lead screw 23 is driven by a driving motor to drive the driving block 25 and the slide block plate 26 to move horizontally.
[0037] The specific implementation method is as follows: The utility model is a mechanism for connecting the glue injection production line part to realize automatic handling and pouring. When a tray of semi-finished products flows to the position of the transfer rack 4 of the mechanism, after the in-place sensor 35 detects that the pallet loaded with semi-finished products reaches the relevant position, the horizontal displacement mechanism and the lifting and clamping device 8 cooperate with each other to move the clamping device 10 to a suitable position. Then, the clamping device 10 clamps the pallet through the clamping cylinder 21 and rises. Subsequently, the motor drives the screw rod 23 to rotate, so that the driving block 25 on the screw rod 23 drives the pallet to move horizontally. After moving above the receiving tray 5, the pushing cylinder 18 pushes the rack 19 to drive the gear 20 to rotate the main shaft 14, thereby driving the sprockets 16 on both sides to make the chain 17 move, so that the clamping device 10 rotates more than 90 degrees, and the materials are completely poured into the receiving tray 5. Finally, it returns to the horizontal direction, stacks the empty pallets on the pallet storage station 6, and when the empty pallets are stacked to a certain height, they are taken away by the staff, thus completing the processes of automatic handling, automatic pouring, and automatic pallet stacking.
