[0002] In the production of automated equipment, using pallets to hold products has the advantages of large loading capacity, easy loading, small self-weight, reducing manual labor, and improving work efficiency. However, in automated production, the placement of pallets themselves has become the focus of improving the space of automated equipment. Currently, most automated equipment reduces the space occupied by pallets through manual methods, which not only affects the equipment cycle time but also increases labor costs and limits the equipment production capacity. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Technical Objective: Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing pallet stacking methods, the utility model discloses an automatic pallet stacking device that can reduce the equipment cycle time, lower labor costs, and increase the space of automated equipment.

Other objects, features, and aspects of the present disclosure are disclosed or will be apparent from the following detailed description. It is to be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that this discussion is only a description of exemplary embodiments and is not intended to limit the broader aspects of the present disclosure.

[0020] As Figures 1 - 3As shown in the figure, an automatic stacking pallet device of the present utility model includes a stacking mechanism frame 1 for docking with a pallet conveyor line, and a roller conveyor line for conveying pallets is arranged on the stacking mechanism frame 1; a blocking cylinder 2 for positioning the pallet is arranged at the front end of the roller conveyor line along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor line, clamping mechanisms for clamping and stacking the pallets are arranged on both sides above the roller conveyor line of the stacking mechanism frame 1, a lifting cylinder 3 for jacking up the pallet to assist in stacking and clamping is arranged below the roller conveyor line, and an induction photoelectric a10 for detecting whether the pallet is conveyed in place is arranged on the roller conveyor line.

[0021] The clamping mechanism of the present utility model includes a lifting cylinder 4 and a clamping cylinder 5 connected to the driving end of the lifting cylinder 4. The driving end of the clamping cylinder 5 faces the side where the side of the pallet is located, and a clamping block 6 is arranged at the driving end.

[0022] The lifting cylinder 4 drives the clamping cylinder 5 to move up and down to realize the clamping and lifting of the pallet. The lifting cylinder 3 and the lifting cylinder 4 correspond to each other in the vertical direction. The lifting cylinder 3 and the lifting cylinder 4 adopt different cylinder diameters, so as to smoothly stack the pallets. The lifting cylinder 3 keeps the position of the pallet stable. An induction photoelectric b11 for detecting the stacking height of the pallets is arranged on the stacking mechanism frame 1 of the present utility model. When the stacking height of the pallets reaches the position of the induction photoelectric b11, the stacked pallets are integrally placed on the roller conveyor line and removed as a whole.

[0023] To avoid the pallet from tilting and ensure the stability of the clamping position, the clamping cylinder 5 of the present utility model is installed on a sliding bracket 7, and is connected to the lifting cylinder 40 through the sliding bracket 7. A guiding mechanism for guiding the movement of the sliding bracket 7 is arranged on the stacking mechanism frame 1. The guiding mechanism includes pulleys 8 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding bracket 7. The pulleys 8 are connected to the stacking mechanism frame 1 through pulley mounting brackets 9, and the sliding direction is limited by the pulleys 8.

[0024] When the utility model is in use, the pallet is sent into the stacking mechanism frame 1 by the roller conveyor line. At this time, the blocking cylinder 2 is always in the ejected state. After reaching the position, the blocking cylinder blocks the pallet. At this time, the inductive photoelectric a detects the arrival of the pallet. When the pallet is detected, the four groups of clamping cylinders 5 work simultaneously to clamp the pallet. After the clamping is in place, the two groups of lifting cylinders 4 are simultaneously pushed out. The sliding bracket 7 drives the clamping cylinder 5 and the clamped pallet to move upward, so that the pallet is separated from the roller conveyor line and does not prevent the next pallet from flowing in. Similarly, when the inductive photoelectric a detects the inflow of the pallet again, the lifting cylinder 3 performs the ejection operation. When the ejection is in place, the lifting cylinder 4 returns to its original position, driving the clamped pallet to move downward, and gently placing the clamped pallet on the incoming pallet. At this time, the stacking of the two pallets is completed; a detection structure for detecting the stacking state of the pallet can be set on the lifting cylinder 5. The utility model uses a magnetic switch for detection based on the stacked pallet structure. When the magnetic switch detects in place, the clamping cylinder 5 retracts simultaneously. After the magnetic switch detects in place, then the lifting cylinder 3 moves downward to perform the retraction operation, and then the lifting cylinder 4 acts to drive the clamping cylinder 5 to move downward to clamp the just-incoming pallet. After the clamping is completed, the two pallets are lifted and raised; the above actions are repeated in sequence to automatically stack the subsequent incoming pallets. When the stacking reaches a certain height, it is detected by the inductive photoelectric b11. At this time, it is judged that the stacking quantity of the stacking device is full, and then it is placed on the roller conveyor line to let the stacked pallets flow out.
