DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following describes in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the tray positioning device provided in this embodiment; Figure 2 This is the second structural diagram of the disc positioning device provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tray positioning device, including a fixed frame (not shown in the figure), a lifting mechanism 100, a loading tray 200, a limiting mechanism 300, a positioning mechanism 400 and a lifting mechanism 500. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 100 is installed on the fixed frame; the loading tray 200 is installed at the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 100, and the loading tray 200 is used to carry stacked trays; the limiting mechanism 300 is installed on the fixed frame and is located on one side of the loading tray 200 along the first horizontal direction; the positioning mechanism 400 is installed on the fixed frame and is located on the other side of the loading tray 200 along the first horizontal direction. 0 includes a positioning cylinder 410, which is used to push the pallet carried by the loading tray 200 toward the limiting mechanism 300; a lifting mechanism 500 is provided on both sides of the loading tray 200 along the second horizontal direction, and the lifting mechanism 500 includes a lifting cylinder 510 installed on a fixed frame and a sliding cylinder 520 installed on the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 510, and the cylinder rod of the sliding cylinder 520 is fixedly installed with an insert plate 530, and the sliding cylinder 520 is used to drive the insert plate 530 to move along the second horizontal direction, and the insert plate 530 is used to be inserted into the gap between two adjacent pallets; the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first horizontal direction can be Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second horizontal direction can be represented by the arrows ab in Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is indicated by the arrow cd in the figure.

[0032] A tray positioning device is provided which mainly consists of a fixing frame, a lifting mechanism 100, a loading tray 200, a limiting mechanism 300, a positioning mechanism 400 and a lifting mechanism 500, wherein the fixing frame serves as the installation basis for the remaining mechanisms. Finally, the lifting cylinder 510 is used to drive the slide cylinder 520 to rise, so as to separate the two adjacent pallets.

[0033] Before separating the pallets, the tray positioning device first utilizes the limiting mechanism 300 and the positioning mechanism 400 respectively arranged on both sides of the first horizontal direction of the loading tray 200 and the sliding cylinder 520 of the lifting mechanism 500 respectively arranged on both sides of the second horizontal direction of the loading tray 200 to realize the four-side positioning of the pallet carried by the loading tray 200, thereby ensuring the position accuracy of the pallet. Then, the lifting cylinder 510 of the lifting mechanism 500 is used to separate the pallets, thereby ensuring the position accuracy of the separated pallets. Moreover, this process of using cylinders to achieve positioning has a simple structure, is easy to debug, and operates smoothly, which not only reduces costs but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement.

[0034] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the disc positioning device may further include an in-position sensor 600, wherein the in-position sensor 600 includes a transmitting part 610 and a receiving part 620 opposite to the transmitting part 610 along a second horizontal direction, the transmitting part 610 is arranged on one of the two lifting mechanisms 500, and the receiving part 620 is arranged on the other of the two lifting mechanisms 500.

[0035] When the tray positioning device is in operation, the transmitter 610 emits light, and the receiver 620 is used to receive the light emitted by the transmitter 610. As the lifting mechanism 100 drives the loading tray 200 upward, when the tray blocks the light between the transmitter 610 and the receiver 620, the loading tray 200 rises into position. At this point, the positioning cylinder 410 of the positioning mechanism 400 extends, pushing the tray to move in the first horizontal direction. The tray is then limited in the first horizontal direction by the abutment and cooperation between the tray and the limiting mechanism 300. Simultaneously, the supporting mechanisms 500 on both sides operate, inserting the inserting plates 530 into the gap between two adjacent trays. This not only limits the tray in the second horizontal direction, but also prepares for subsequent tray separation. Subsequently, under the action of the lifting cylinder 510, the inserting plates 530 on both sides apply a lifting force to the tray, lifting the tray above the inserting plates 530, thereby achieving the tray separation operation.

[0036] The arrangement of the above-mentioned in-position sensor 600 realizes the in-position detection of the tray, thereby avoiding the failure to smoothly separate the trays due to the tray not rising into position or rising too much.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 300 may include a limiting frame 310 and a first ejector cylinder 320 mounted on the limiting frame 310. The limiting frame 310 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame and is configured to abut against the pallet. The ejector portion of the first ejector cylinder 320 faces the loading tray 200 and is configured to be inserted into the gap between two adjacent pallets. In other words, under the action of the positioning cylinder 410, the pallet carried on the loading tray 200 is pushed against the limiting frame 310, and the cooperation between the pallet and the limiting frame 310 achieves its positioning operation in the first horizontal direction.

[0038] The arrangement of the first ejector cylinder 320 allows the ejector portion of the first ejector cylinder 320 to be inserted into the gap between two adjacent trays from one side of the loading tray 200 along the first horizontal direction during the tray separation operation to assist in tray separation. This arrangement can avoid failure of the tray separation operation due to excessive tight pressing of two adjacent trays, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of tray separation.

[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the number of the first ejector cylinders 320 is two, and the two first ejector cylinders 320 are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction.

[0040] By setting the number of the first ejector cylinders 320 to two, on the one hand, it is possible to avoid a small effective area caused by too few first ejector cylinders 320, thereby reducing the auxiliary disc separation effect. On the other hand, it is also possible to avoid cost waste caused by too many first ejector cylinders 320.

[0041] In other embodiments, the number of the first ejector cylinders 320 may also be three.

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the positioning structure may further include a buffer block 420 . Specifically, the buffer block 420 is installed on the cylinder rod of the positioning cylinder 410 .

[0043] The setting of the above-mentioned buffer block 420 ensures that when the cylinder rod of the positioning cylinder 410 is extended to position the pallet, the buffer block 420 is used to contact the pallet in the positioning mechanism 400. This setting effectively reduces the impact force caused by the positioning mechanism 400 on the pallet, plays a certain protective role for the pallet, and prevents the pallet from being crushed.

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 400 may further include a second ejector cylinder 430. Specifically, the second ejector cylinder 430 is installed on the fixing frame, and the ejector portion of the second ejector cylinder 430 faces the loading tray 200. The ejector portion of the second ejector cylinder 430 is used to insert into the gap between two adjacent trays.

[0045] The arrangement of the second ejector cylinder 430 allows the ejector portion of the second ejector cylinder 430 to be inserted into the gap between two adjacent trays from the other side of the loading tray 200 along the first horizontal direction during the tray separation operation to assist in tray separation. This arrangement can avoid failure of the tray separation operation due to excessive tight pressing of two adjacent trays, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of tray separation.

[0046] Figure 3 This is a top view of the structure of the disc positioning device provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and combined with Figure 3 In this embodiment, the number of the second ejector cylinders 430 is two, and the two second ejector cylinders 430 are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction.

[0047] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 100 may include a linear module, wherein the mover of the linear module forms the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 100, and the stator of the linear module is fixedly disposed on a fixed frame.

[0048] This arrangement of the lifting mechanism 100 can not only realize the lifting and lowering of the loading tray 200, but also reduce the space occupied by the line body, thereby meeting the demand for tray division in a limited space.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, two groups of positioning mechanisms 400 are provided, and the two groups of positioning mechanisms 400 are respectively provided on both sides of the lifting mechanism 100 along the second horizontal direction.

[0050] By setting up two groups of positioning mechanisms 400, the number of positioning points in the pallet positioning process is increased. On the one hand, the positioning area of the pallet is increased to avoid the pallet from deflecting during the positioning process. On the other hand, the load on each group of positioning mechanisms 400 is reduced.

[0051] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 400 may further include a first adapter plate 440 . Specifically, the first adapter plate 440 is fixedly connected to the stator of the linear module, and the cylinder body of the positioning cylinder 410 is installed on the first adapter plate 440 .

[0052] The arrangement of the first adapter plate 440 can achieve the connection between the positioning cylinder 410 and the linear module without changing the structures of the positioning cylinder 410 and the linear module, and the connection cost is low.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 500 can also include a second adapter plate 540 and a third adapter plate 550. Specifically, the second adapter plate 540 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame, and the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 510 is installed on the second adapter plate 540; the third adapter plate 550 is fixedly connected to the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 510, and the cylinder body of the slide cylinder 520 is installed on the third adapter plate 550.

[0054] The setting of the above-mentioned second adapter plate 540 and the third adapter plate 550 can realize the installation of the lifting cylinder 510 on the fixed frame and the installation of the sliding cylinder 520 on the lifting cylinder 510 without changing the structure of the lifting cylinder 510 and the sliding cylinder 520 themselves, and the connection cost is low.

[0055] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the loading tray 200 may be provided with a weight-reducing hole 210 .

[0056] This arrangement can not only reduce the weight of the material carrier 200 , thereby reducing the load on the linear module, but also ensure the structural strength of the material carrier 200 , thereby extending the service life of the material carrier 200 .
