DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to describe the technical content, structural features, achieved purposes and effects of the application in detail, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all of the embodiments. In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a detailed description of various exemplary embodiments or implementations of the invention. However, various exemplary embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details or in the case of one or more equivalent arrangements. In addition, various exemplary embodiments may be different, but are not necessarily exclusive. For example, without departing from the inventive concept, the specific shape, structure and characteristics of the exemplary embodiment may be used or implemented in another exemplary embodiment.

[0026] An embodiment of the present application provides a palletizing device for the production of corrugated boards. The palletizing device 100 can transfer corrugated boards of different specifications to different workstations, and stack the corrugated boards in an empty space after moving them out of the production line to facilitate subsequent packaging and transportation.

[0027] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown in Figure 4, the palletizing equipment 100 includes: a frame 10, a suction cup assembly 20 movably mounted on the frame 10, and a manipulator device 30 transmission-connected between the suction cup assembly 20 and the frame 10, the manipulator device 30 drives the suction cup assembly 20 to move on the frame 10 in the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction.

[0028] The frame 10 has a loading station 40 and a stacking station 50 arranged in a front-to-back relationship. A conveying platform 70 is installed at the loading station 40 to allow the finished products 200 to be transported to the loading station 40. The stacking station 50 is used to stack and accumulate multiple products 200 in the vertical direction. The suction cup assembly 20 moves back and forth between the loading station 40 and the stacking station 50 to transfer the products 200 from the loading station 40 to the stacking station 50 and stack the products 200 one by one from bottom to top. In this embodiment of the present application, the horizontal height of the conveying platform 70 is adjustable.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the frame 10 also includes a support frame 1 and a pair of translating beams 2 mounted on top of the support frame 1. The pair of translating beams 2 are arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides. The pair of translating beams 2 extend in the front-to-back direction, and the two ends of each translating beam 2 extend above the stacking station 50 and the loading station 40, respectively. In this application, there is no column between the loading station 40 and the stacking station 50 to block the movement of the suction cup assembly 20.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 3As shown in Figure 4, the manipulator device 30 includes a lifting assembly 3 for driving the suction cup assembly 20 to move in the up and down directions and a translation assembly 4 for driving the suction cup assembly 20 to move in the front and back directions. The suction cup assembly 20 is installed at the bottom of the lifting assembly 3, the lifting assembly 3 is installed on the translation assembly 4, and the translation assembly 4 is installed on the frame 10.

[0031] The translation assembly 4 includes a translation bracket 41 and a first driving member 42 . The first driving member 42 is transmission-connected between the translation bracket 41 and a pair of translation beams 2 for driving the translation bracket 41 to move in the front-rear direction relative to the frame 10 .

[0032] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, a first guide rail 43 and a first slider 44 are further provided between the translation bracket 41 and the pair of translation beams 2. The first guide rail 43 extends in the front-to-back direction, and a first guide rail 43 is mounted on each translation beam 2. The first slider 44 slidably engages with the first guide rail 43 and is mounted on the translation bracket 41. The translation bracket 41 can be slidably mounted on the frame 10 in the front-to-back direction through the sliding engagement of the first slider 44 and the first guide rail 43. The engagement of the first guide rail 43 and the first slider 44 serves as a guide and reduces friction between the translation bracket 41 and the frame 10, allowing the translation bracket 41 to move smoothly and gently in the front-to-back direction.

[0033] like Figure 4 、 5 As shown, a first fine-tuning mechanism 45 is also provided between the translation bracket 41 and a pair of translation beams 2. The first fine-tuning mechanism 45 includes a first rack 451, a first gear (not shown in the figure) and a first motor 453. The first rack 451 is installed on one of the translation beams 2 extending along the front-to-back direction. The first gear is engaged with the first rack 451. The first motor 453 is installed on the translation bracket 41 and is connected to the first gear to drive the first gear to rotate around its own axis. When the first gear rotates, the tooth surface of the first rack 451 is against the tooth surface of the first gear, so that the first gear can roll along the first rack 451. The translation bracket 41 connected to the first motor 453 drives the lifting assembly 3 and the suction cup assembly 20 installed on the lifting assembly 3 to move along the front-to-back direction.

[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 includes a lifting bracket 31 and a second driving member 32 , and the second driving member 32 is transmission-connected between the lifting bracket 31 and the translation bracket 41 to drive the lifting bracket 31 to move in the up and down directions relative to the translation bracket 41 .

[0035] The lifting bracket 31 includes four upright posts 311, which are arranged in pairs and extend vertically. A second guide rail 33 and a second slider 34 are disposed between the lifting bracket 31 and the translation bracket 41. A second guide rail 33 is mounted on each of the opposing upright posts 311, and each second guide rail 33 extends vertically. The second slider 34 slidably engages with the second guide rail 33 and is mounted on the translation bracket 41. The sliding engagement between the second slider 34 and the second guide rail 33 allows the lifting bracket 31 to be mounted on the translation bracket 41 so as to be movable vertically relative to the translation bracket 41. The second slider 34 and the second guide rail 33 guide the movement of the lifting bracket 31 and reduce friction between the lifting bracket 31 and the translation bracket 41.

[0036] A second fine-tuning mechanism 35 is also provided between the lifting bracket 31 and the translation bracket 41. The second fine-tuning mechanism 35 includes a second rack 351, a second gear 352, and a second motor 353. The second rack 351 is mounted on one of the columns 311, extending in the vertical direction. The second gear 352 meshes with the second rack 351. The second motor 353 is mounted on the translation bracket 41 and is in transmission connection with the second gear 352 to drive the second gear 352 to rotate about its own axis. When the second motor 353 drives the second gear 352 to rotate, the tooth surface of the second gear 352 abuts the tooth surface of the second rack 351. Since the second motor 353 is mounted on the translation bracket 41 and the translation bracket 41 cannot move vertically relative to the frame 10, the force between the second gear 352 and the second rack 351 causes the lifting bracket 31, which is connected to the second rack 351, to move vertically relative to the translation bracket 41 along with the second rack 351.

[0037] The first drive member 42 and the second drive member 32 are both linear motors. The first drive member 42 drives the translation bracket 41 to move over a long distance to quickly move to the vicinity of the target station; the second drive member 32 drives the lifting bracket 31 to quickly rise and fall to the corresponding height. The first fine-tuning mechanism 45 adjusts the position of the translation bracket 41 in the front-to-back direction over a short distance, and the second fine-tuning mechanism 35 adjusts the position of the lifting bracket 31 in the up-down direction over a short distance. The fine-tuning mechanism can adjust products of different specifications, so that the suction cup assembly 20 can align with the products on the loading station 40, accurately and quickly adsorb the products, and align with the center of the products for multi-point adsorption, which can ensure the stability of adsorption during the transfer process. At the stacking station 50, the products can be accurately placed in the stacking position or on the upper surface of the stacked products, achieving high-speed, accurate and stable stacking.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 3As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the suction cup assembly 20 includes a plurality of suction cups 5 for picking up and placing materials, a suction cup bracket 6, and a vacuum generator (not shown in the figure). The plurality of suction cups 5 are mounted in a rectangular array at the bottom of the suction cup bracket 6. The suction cup bracket 6 is connected to the bottom end of the lifting bracket 31. The vacuum generator is mounted on the suction cup bracket 6 and is connected to the plurality of suction cups 5. When the suction cups 5 are in close contact with the upper surface of the product 200, the vacuum generator sucks the air between each suction cup 5 and the product, allowing the plurality of suction cups 5 to firmly adsorb the product so as to be able to carry the product for transfer. When the suction cup assembly 20 transfers the adsorbed product to the corresponding stacking station 50, the vacuum generator inflates each suction cup 5, separating each suction cup 5 from the product, and the product is stacked in the stacking station 50.

[0039] In the present application, the palletizing equipment also has a control device 60, which is connected to the first drive member 42, the second drive member 32, the first motor 453, the second motor 353 and the vacuum generator to control the operation of each drive device. Several detection devices are also provided on the loading station 40, the stacking station 50 and the suction cup bracket 6. Each detection device is used to detect the position, size and height of the product on the corresponding station and the position of several suction cups. The control device 60 controls the operation of the first drive member 42, the second drive member 32, the first motor 453, the second motor 353 and the vacuum generator based on the feedback of each detection device, so that the suction cup assembly 20 can complete the material picking and discharging operations.

[0040] The working principle of the present application is as follows: when the loading station 40 detects that a product is in place, the control device 60 controls the first driving member 42 to drive the translation bracket 41 to drive the suction cup assembly 20 to move to the top of the loading station 40, and then controls the second driving member 32 to drive the lifting bracket 31 to drive the suction cup assembly 20 to descend close to the product at the loading station 40, and then controls the first motor 453 and the second motor 353 to work, and finely adjusts the position of the suction cup assembly 20 so that the suction cup assembly 20 is aligned with the product at the loading station 40. When the suction cup 5 of the suction cup assembly 20 is close to the upper surface of the product, the vacuum generator is controlled to suck the air in the corresponding suction cup 5 so that the product is sucked. Attached to the suction cup assembly 20; the control device 60 then controls the second driving member 32 to lift the suction cup assembly 20, and controls the first driving member 42 to move the suction cup assembly 20 and the product adsorbed thereon backward, so that the product moves to the stacking station 50, and according to the feedback of the detection device at the stacking station 50, controls the first motor 453 and the second motor 353 to move the suction cup assembly 20, so that the product adsorbed by the suction cup assembly 20 can be placed on the ground or on the upper surface of the stacked products, and finally controls the vacuum generator to inflate the suction cup 5. After the product is separated from the suction cup, the suction cup assembly 20 is controlled to move to the loading station 40 to adsorb the next product.

[0041] The stacking equipment of the present application has a simple structure, can perform high-speed stacking of corrugated plates, accurately adsorb corrugated plates of different specifications, ensure the stability of the corrugated plates during transfer, and improve the accuracy of equipment operation and stacking speed.
