[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in , this embodiment provides a material chassis collector, including a conveying mechanism 1, two stacking mechanisms 2 and a sensor 3, wherein the conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey the chassis 100, and the two stacking mechanisms 2 are respectively placed on both sides of the conveying mechanism 1 along the first direction. The stacking mechanism 2 includes a lifting member 21 and a supporting member 22, the lifting member 21 is connected to the supporting member 22, and the supporting member 22 faces the conveying mechanism 1. The supporting member 22 can selectively abut against the chassis 100, and the lifting member 21 can selectively lift the supporting member 22 to a first height. In this way, when the supporting member 22 abuts against the chassis 100, starting the lifting member 21 can lift the chassis 100 abutting against the supporting member 22 to the first height position. The first height is greater than the height of the chassis 100 to ensure that the transmission of the next chassis 100 is not affected. The sensor 3 is placed on one side of the stacking mechanism 2 along the conveying direction of the chassis 100. The sensor 3 includes a sensor 31. The sensor 31 is used to sense the chassis 100. The sensor 31 is communicatively connected to both the conveying mechanism 1 and the stacking mechanism 2. When the sensor 31 detects the chassis 100, the conveying mechanism 1 pauses for 3S-5S, and the lifting member 22 and the lifting member 21 operate in sequence.
[0033] Specifically, when the sensor 31 detects a chassis 100, the chassis 100 has been completely transferred between the two stacking mechanisms 2. The sensor 31 simultaneously sends a signal to the conveying mechanism 1 and the stacking mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 1 is then paused, and the output end of the lifting member 22 extends to contact the chassis 100. The lifting member 21 then operates to raise the chassis 100 to the first height. When the sensor 31 detects a chassis 100 again, i.e., the second chassis 100 is transferred between the two stacking mechanisms 2, the sensor 31 again sends a signal to the conveying mechanism 1 and the stacking mechanism 2. The output end of the lifting member 22 retracts, and the first chassis 100 falls onto the second chassis 100. The lifting member 21 drives the lifting member 22 back to its initial position. The extended end of the lifting member 22 then extends to contact the chassis 100 located below, and the lifting member 21 drives the lifting member 22 to the first height, thereby lifting the two stacked chassis 100 to the first height. In this embodiment, the first direction is taken as the X direction.
[0034] In this embodiment, the sensor 31 is connected to both the conveying mechanism 1 and the stacking mechanism 2 via Bluetooth. Specifically, a transmitter module is provided within the sensor 31, and a first receiver module is provided on the conveying mechanism 1, which is connected to the first controller in the conveying mechanism 1. A second receiver module is provided on the stacking mechanism 2, which is connected to the second controller in the stacking mechanism 2. When the sensor 31 detects a chassis 100, the transmitter module simultaneously transmits a Bluetooth signal to the first and second receiver modules. The first receiver module transmits an electrical signal to the first controller, which instructs the first controller to suspend the conveying mechanism 1 for 3-5 seconds. Simultaneously, the second receiver module transmits an electrical signal to the second controller, which instructs the second controller to operate the lifting member 22 and the lifting member 21. The second controller is also programmed with a program that specifies the operating steps of the lifting member 22 and the lifting member 21 upon the initial receipt of the electrical signal, and the operating steps of the lifting member 22 and the lifting member 21 upon non-initial receipt of the electrical signal, thereby enabling stacking of multiple chassis 100. The transmitter module, the first receiver module, the first controller, the second receiver module, and the second controller are conventional technical solutions in the field of electronic control and will not be further described here.
[0035] In this embodiment, the working process of the material chassis collector is as follows: the conveying mechanism 1 conveys the chassis 100. When the sensor 31 detects the chassis 100, the chassis 100 is conveyed between the two stacking mechanisms 2. At this time, the transmitting module in the sensor 31 simultaneously transmits signals to the first receiving module and the second receiving module. The first receiving module outputs an electrical signal to the first controller, and the conveying mechanism 1 pauses for 3S-5S to prevent the chassis 100 from being excessively conveyed. At the same time, the second receiving module outputs an electrical signal to the second controller. When the second controller receives the electrical signal output by the second receiving module for the first time, the second controller runs the program for the first reception of the electrical signal. The output end of the lifting member 22 abuts against the chassis 100, and the lifting member 21 drives the lifting member 22 to rise to the first height. The conveying mechanism 1 then operates normally. When the sensor 31 detects the chassis 100 again, the transmitting module transmits a signal to the first receiving module and the second receiving module again. The first receiving module outputs an electrical signal to the first controller, and the conveying mechanism 1 stops operating. The second receiving module outputs an electrical signal to the second controller again. The second controller runs the program for receiving an electrical signal that is not the first time. At this time, the output end of the lifting member 22 retracts, and the first chassis 100 falls onto the second chassis 100 and stacks with it. The lifting member 21 drives the lifting member 22 down to its initial position. The output end of the lifting member 22 extends and contacts the chassis 100 below. The lifting member 21 drives the lifting member 22 to the first height. At this time, the two stacked chassis 100 are lifted to the first height. When the sensor 31 detects the chassis 100 again, the second controller runs the program for receiving an electrical signal that is not the first time, thereby achieving the stacking of multiple chassis 100.
[0036] Exemplarily, the lifting member 21 includes a support frame 211 and a first driving member 212. A crossbeam 2111 is provided at the top of the support frame 211, and the first driving member 212 is positioned on the crossbeam 2111. The output end of the first driving member 212 faces the ground, and the range of motion of the output end of the first driving member 212 extends from the crossbeam 2111 to the ground. Therefore, the specifications of the first driving member 212 do not need to be matched to the height of the conveyor mechanism 1, making the structural design of the lifting member 21 more reasonable. In this embodiment, when the output end of the first driving member 212 is extended, the lifting member 22 is at an initial height. When the output end of the first driving member 212 is retracted, the lifting member 22 is at a first height. Alternatively, the first driving member 212 can be directly fixed to the ground, with the output end facing away from the ground. When the output end of the first driving member 212 is extended, the lifting member 22 is raised, and when the output end of the first driving member 212 is retracted, the lifting member 22 is lowered. In this case, the specifications of the first driving member 212 need to be selected based on the height of the conveyor mechanism 1.
[0037] The support frame 211 includes two spaced-apart pillars 2112, with a crossbeam 2111 connected between the two pillars 2112 to provide a more stable structure for the support frame 211. The lifting member 21 also includes a connecting member 213, which is movably mounted on the two pillars 2112. The output end of the first driving member 212 is connected to the connecting member 213. When the output end of the first driving member 212 moves, it drives the connecting member 213 to move along the pillars 2112. At this time, the connecting member 213 and the pillars 2112 can guide the movement of the output end of the first driving member 212, allowing the first driving member 212 to operate more smoothly and lift the chassis 100 more smoothly. Specifically, through holes are provided at both ends of the connecting member 213, and the pillars 2112 are inserted into the through holes. The output end of the first driving member 212 is connected to the middle area of the connecting member 213. This further improves the guiding effect of the connecting member 213 and the pillars 2112 on the operation of the first driving member 212.
[0038] Illustratively, the first driving member 212 includes a first cylinder body 2121 and a first cylinder rod 2122, wherein the first cylinder body 2121 is fixedly mounted on the crossbeam 2111, and the first cylinder rod 2122 is connected to the connecting member 213. The first driving member 212 can be a telescopic cylinder, an electric telescopic rod, or an extension rod, without specific limitation herein.
[0039] In this embodiment, the lifting member 22 includes a connecting frame 221 and a second driving member 222 that are interconnected. The connecting frame 221 is connected to the output end of the lifting member 21, specifically to the connecting member 213 in the lifting member 21. The output end of the second driving member 222 faces the conveying mechanism 1. The provision of the connecting frame 221 can further stabilize the connection between the lifting member 21 and the lifting member 22, thereby achieving a more stable lifting of the chassis 100. In this embodiment, the connecting frame 221 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 213 by bolt fasteners, and the connecting member 213 is also connected to the second driving member 222 by bolt fasteners. The bolt fasteners can be screws or bolts, which are not specifically limited here.
[0040] Illustratively, the second driving member 222 includes a second cylinder body 2221 and a second cylinder rod 2222, wherein the second cylinder body 2221 is connected to the connecting frame 221 and faces the conveying mechanism 1, and the second cylinder rod 2222 is movably disposed inside the second cylinder body 2221. The second cylinder body 2221 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 221, and the second cylinder rod 2222 selectively abuts against the chassis 100.
[0041] In this embodiment, the material chassis collector further includes a bottom plate 4, wherein the stacking mechanism 2 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 4, and the conveying mechanism 1 is arranged above the bottom plate 4. The provision of the bottom plate 4 makes the stacking mechanism 2 more stable, further improving the stability of the overall structure of the material chassis collector.
[0042] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a baffle 12. The conveyor belt 11 is used to convey the chassis 100. The baffle 12 is arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 11 along the first direction. The setting of the baffle 12 can prevent the chassis 100 from falling from the conveyor belt 11 during the conveying process, thereby further improving the rationality of the design of the conveying mechanism 1.
[0043] In this embodiment, the sensor 31 further includes a support 32, the sensor 31 is fixed on the support 32, and the detection light of the sensor 31 is directed toward the conveying mechanism 1. Of course, the sensor 31 can also be directly fixed on the baffle 12, and there is no specific limitation on the fixing of the sensor 31.
[0044] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
