Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of warehouse machinery, in particular to a pallet sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] In industrial production, forklifts are commonly used machines for transporting goods in warehouses. To match the use of forklifts, corresponding pallet components are provided. Each pallet component includes a mother pallet and a child pallet.

[0003] In the prior art, when goods are stored on shelves, the mother pallet is at the bottom, the child pallets are located above the mother pallet, and the goods are located above the child pallets. When the goods are needed, a forklift is first used to move the pallet assembly and the goods from the shelf to the ground. Then, a forklift is used to transport the child pallets and the goods to the production area. The mother pallets on the ground are organized into mother pallet groups by a palletizer. When the number of mother pallets in the mother pallet group in the palletizer reaches the maximum, a manually controlled forklift is used to transport the mother pallet group in the palletizer to the cache.

[0004] However, when using this pallet sorting machine, warehouse staff must visually determine the number of mother pallets in a mother pallet group. When the number of mother pallets reaches the maximum, a forklift is manually controlled to transport the mother pallet group. This reduces the efficiency of sorting mother pallets, thereby reducing factory production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a pallet sorting machine that automatically identifies the number of sorted mother pallets when used to sort mother pallets. When the number of mother pallets reaches the maximum, the pallet sorting machine can control a forklift to transport the mother pallets. This improves the efficiency of sorting mother pallets and thus enhances factory production efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is achieved as follows:

[0007] The utility model discloses a pallet sorting machine, which includes: an enclosure, a plurality of counting elements and a controller. The enclosure includes a first side wall, a second side wall and a third side wall that are sequentially connected to each other, the angle between the first side wall and the second side wall is a right angle, the angle between the second side wall and the third side wall is a right angle, and the first side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall enclose a receiving groove; the receiving groove is used to accommodate a mother pallet group. The plurality of counting elements are arranged on the inner side of the first side wall or the second side wall and are arranged in sequence along the intersection line of the first side wall and the second side wall; each counting element is used to detect the mother pallet at the corresponding position and generate a detection signal. The controller is used to receive the detection signal and generate a quantity signal of the mother pallet; when the quantity reflected by the quantity signal is greater than the quantity limit of the mother pallet, the controller can control a forklift to transport the mother pallet group.

[0008] Optionally, the counting element is a photoelectric sensor.

[0009] Optionally, the plurality of photoelectric sensors are arranged at equal intervals, and the interval between adjacent photoelectric sensors is the same as the thickness of a mother pallet in the mother pallet group.

[0010] Optionally, the first side wall is detachably connected to the second side wall, and / or the second side wall is detachably connected to the third side wall.

[0011] Optionally, the first side wall and the third side wall have the same shape and size, and the first side wall and the third side wall are arranged opposite to each other.

[0012] Optionally, along the intersection line of the first side wall and the second side wall, the lengths of the first side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall are adjustable.

[0013] Optionally, along the intersection line of the first side wall and the second side wall, a base is provided at the same end of the first side wall and the third side wall, and the base is used to be placed on a horizontal plane.

[0014] Optionally, the second side wall is a frame structure.

[0015] Optionally, the frame structure includes a transverse rod and a longitudinal rod, two ends of the transverse rod are respectively connected to the first side wall and the second side wall, the longitudinal rod is connected to the transverse rod, and the longitudinal rod is perpendicular to the transverse rod.

[0016] Optionally, the controller is provided with a single chip microcomputer, and the single chip microcomputer is electrically connected to the plurality of counting elements and the forklift.

[0017] Compared with the related art, the beneficial effects of this application are at least:

[0018] Because the mother pallet is part of a pallet assembly, the pallet assembly consists of a mother pallet and a child pallet. When goods are stored on a shelf, the mother pallet is at the bottom, the child pallet is above the mother pallet, and the goods are placed above the child pallet. When the goods are needed, a forklift is first used to move the pallet assembly and goods from the shelf to the ground. Then, a forklift is used to transport the child pallet and goods to the production area, while the mother pallet remains on the ground. The mother pallet is generally rectangular.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present application, the enclosure comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, and a third side wall that are sequentially connected to each other, the angle between the first side wall and the second side wall is a right angle, and the angle between the second side wall and the third side wall is a right angle. The first, second, and third side walls together form a receiving slot for accommodating the mother pallet assembly. Thus, the receiving slot has a rectangular cross-section that can precisely accommodate the rectangular mother pallet, thereby fully utilizing the space within the receiving slot and facilitating a reduction in the size of the pallet organizer.

[0020] Next, since multiple counting elements are arranged on the inner side of the first side wall or the second side wall, the multiple counting elements are not easily damaged by the outside world, thereby increasing the service life of the pallet sorting machine. Next, since the multiple counting elements are arranged in sequence along the intersection line of the first side wall and the second side wall. When multiple mother pallets are stacked together to form a mother pallet group, the multiple mother pallets are also arranged in sequence along the intersection line of the first side wall and the second side wall. Each counting element corresponds to a mother pallet, which is conducive to the counting element being able to accurately detect the corresponding mother pallet. Next, since each counting element is used to detect the mother pallet at the corresponding position and generate a detection signal. The detection signal can be transmitted to the controller, and then the controller issues a corresponding instruction to realize the automatic counting function, thereby improving the counting efficiency and then improving the mother pallet sorting efficiency, thereby improving the factory's production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0021] Next, the controller receives the detection signal and generates a mother pallet quantity signal. When the quantity signal indicates a mother pallet quantity greater than the mother pallet quantity limit, the controller can control a forklift to transport the mother pallet group. Thus, upon receiving the detection signal, the controller generates a mother pallet quantity signal. The controller then compares the quantity signal with the mother pallet quantity limit. If the quantity signal indicates a mother pallet quantity less than the mother pallet quantity limit, the controller can continue to add mother pallets to the pallet organizer's receiving slot. If the quantity signal indicates a mother pallet quantity greater than the mother pallet quantity limit, the controller can issue a warning signal prohibiting further addition of mother pallets to the receiving slot. Simultaneously, the controller can issue a transport signal to the forklift. Upon receiving the transport signal, the forklift automatically drives to the pallet organizer's location, then uses its forklift arm to lift the mother pallet group in the receiving slot and transport it to the buffer. Compared to related art solutions that rely on manual counting and manually controlled forklift transport of the mother pallet group, this system achieves automatic counting and transport of mother pallets within the mother pallet group. This improves the efficiency of mother pallet sorting, thereby increasing factory production efficiency and reducing production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and the like are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects connected are in an "or" relationship.

[0031] It should be understood that references throughout this specification to "some embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic associated with an embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the appearance of "in some embodiments" throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0032] The following describes in detail a tray sorting machine provided by the present invention by listing specific embodiments.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a tray sorting machine 100 provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of the tray assembly E. Figure 4 The mother pallet group D is accommodated in Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the pallet sorting machine 100.

[0034] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The pallet sorting machine 100 includes an enclosure 1, multiple counting elements 2, and a controller. The enclosure 1 includes a first sidewall 11, a second sidewall 12, and a third sidewall 13, which are sequentially connected to each other. The angle between the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12 is a right angle, and the angle between the second sidewall 12 and the third sidewall 13 is a right angle. The first sidewall 11, the second sidewall 12, and the third sidewall 13 together form a receiving slot 14; the receiving slot 14 is used to accommodate a mother pallet set D. Multiple counting elements 2 are disposed on the inner side of the first sidewall 11 or the second sidewall 12 and arranged sequentially along the intersection of the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12. Each counting element 2 is used to detect a mother pallet D1 at a corresponding position and generate a detection signal. The controller is used to receive the detection signal and generate a mother pallet D1 quantity signal. When the quantity signal reflects a number greater than a mother pallet D1 quantity limit, the controller can control a forklift to transport the mother pallet set D.

[0035] The mother pallet D1 is part of a pallet assembly E, which consists of a mother pallet D1 and a child pallet E1. When goods are stored on a shelf, the mother pallet D1 is at the bottom, the child pallet E1 is above the mother pallet D1, and the goods are placed above the child pallet E1. When the goods are needed, a forklift is first used to move the pallet assembly E and the goods from the shelf to the ground. Then, a forklift is used to transport the child pallet E1 and the goods to the production area, leaving the mother pallet D1 on the ground. The mother pallet D1 is generally rectangular.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the enclosure 1 includes a first side wall 11, a second side wall 12, and a third side wall 13, which are sequentially connected to each other. The angles between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 are right angles, and the angles between the second side wall 12 and the third side wall 13 are also right angles. The first side walls 11, the second side walls 12, and the third side walls 13 together form a receiving slot 14; the receiving slot 14 is used to accommodate the mother pallet set D. The receiving slot 14 has a rectangular cross-section, which is precisely suitable for accommodating the rectangular mother pallet D1. This allows the space within the receiving slot 14 to be fully utilized, thereby reducing the size of the pallet organizer 100.

[0037] Since the multiple counting elements 2 are positioned inside the first side wall 11 or the second side wall 12, they are less susceptible to external damage, thereby increasing the service life of the pallet sorting machine 100. Furthermore, since the multiple counting elements 2 are arranged sequentially along the intersection of the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12, when multiple mother pallets D1 are stacked together to form a mother pallet group D, the mother pallets D1 are also arranged sequentially along the intersection of the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12. Each counting element 2 corresponds to a mother pallet D1, which facilitates accurate detection of the corresponding mother pallet D1. Furthermore, since each counting element 2 is used to detect the mother pallet D1 at the corresponding position and generate a detection signal, this detection signal can be transmitted to the controller, which then issues a corresponding command to implement the automatic counting function. This improves counting efficiency and, in turn, improves the efficiency of sorting mother pallets D1, thereby increasing factory production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0038] Next, since the controller receives the detection signal and generates a mother pallet D1 quantity signal, when the quantity signal indicates a quantity greater than the mother pallet D1 quantity limit, the controller can control a forklift to transport the mother pallet set D. Thus, upon receiving the detection signal, the controller can generate a mother pallet D1 quantity signal. The controller can then compare the quantity signaled with the mother pallet D1 quantity limit. When the quantity signaled is less than the mother pallet D1 quantity limit, the controller can continue to add mother pallets D1 to the receiving slots 14 of the pallet organizer 100. When the quantity signaled is greater than the mother pallet D1 quantity limit, the controller can issue a warning signal prohibiting further addition of mother pallets D1 to the receiving slots 14. Simultaneously, the controller can issue a transport signal to the forklift. Upon receiving the transport signal, the forklift can automatically drive to the location of the pallet organizer 100, then use the forklift arm to lift the mother pallet set D in the receiving slots 14 and transport it to the cache. Compared with the related art solution of manually counting and manually controlling forklifts to transport the mother pallet group D, this method realizes the automatic counting and transportation of the mother pallets D1 within the mother pallet group D. This further improves the efficiency of sorting the mother pallets D1, thereby improving the factory's production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0039] The controller is equipped with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control system that can control the controller to receive or send corresponding signals. This makes the work of sorting the mother pallets D1 more intelligent and automated, further improving the efficiency of sorting the mother pallets D1, thereby improving factory production efficiency and further reducing production costs.

[0040] It should be noted that the above-mentioned mother pallet group D refers to an assembly formed by stacking multiple mother pallets D1 together. The number of mother pallets D1 included in each mother pallet group D can be seven, eight or more, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0041] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the counting element 2 is a photoelectric sensor.

[0042] A photoelectric sensor is a sensor that uses the principle of photoelectric conversion to convert light signals into electrical signals. Its specific operating principle is based on the photoelectric effect, which is a phenomenon in which when light shines on certain substances, the material's electrons absorb the energy of the photons, generating a corresponding electrical effect. Specifically, a photoelectric sensor consists of a transmitter, a receiver, and a detection circuit. During operation, the transmitter emits a light beam at a target object. Upon encountering the target object, the light beam is reflected and received by the receiver. The receiver then converts the light signal into an electrical signal, and the detection circuit filters out the valid signal and applies it.

[0043] When a photoelectric sensor is used as the counting element 2, when the photoelectric sensor is working, the transmitter emits a light beam aimed at a mother pallet D1. The light beam will be reflected after encountering the mother pallet D1, and the reflected light beam will be received by the receiver. At this time, the receiver can convert the optical signal into an electrical signal, and the detection circuit can filter out the effective signal and use the signal to generate a quantity signal.

[0044] Since the photoelectric sensor has high precision and fast response, it can identify the mother pallet D1 without contact, thereby improving the recognition efficiency of the mother pallet D1 and further improving the efficiency of sorting the mother pallet D1, thereby further improving the production efficiency of the factory.

[0045] It should be noted that the above-mentioned photoelectric sensor can be a scattered photoelectric sensor, a reflective photoelectric sensor or an infrared photoelectric sensor, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0046] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , multiple photoelectric sensors are arranged at equal intervals, and the interval between adjacent photoelectric sensors is the same as the thickness of a mother pallet D1 in the mother pallet group D.

[0047] This ensures that each photoelectric sensor corresponds to one mother pallet D1 along the thickness direction of the mother pallet D1, and that the light beam emitted by the photoelectric sensor illuminates the same position on different mother pallets D1. This prevents misalignment between the photoelectric sensor and the corresponding mother pallet D1 in the thickness direction caused by the stacking of mother pallets D1, thereby improving the accuracy of mother pallet D1 counting.

[0048] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 are detachably connected. This allows the enclosure 1 to be disassembled into smaller components for easier portability and transportation. When needed to accommodate the mother pallet D1, the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 can be reconnected. This makes storage and transportation more convenient while ensuring its functionality.

[0049] Alternatively, the second side wall 12 and the third side wall 13 may be detachably connected. Similarly, the enclosure 1 can be disassembled into smaller components for easier portability and transportation. When needed to accommodate the mother pallet D1, the second side wall 12 and the third side wall 13 can be reconnected. This makes storage and transportation more convenient while ensuring functionality.

[0050] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first side wall 11 and the third side wall 13 have the same shape and size, and the first side wall 11 and the third side wall 13 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0051] In this way, the enclosure 1 formed by the connection of the first side wall 11, the second side wall 12, and the third side wall 13 is symmetrically arranged along both sides of the second side wall 12. When the photoelectric sensor is arranged on the inner side of the first side wall 11, when there is no mother pallet D1 at its corresponding position, the light beam emitted by the photoelectric sensor can be reflected back by the second side wall 12 opposite to the first side wall 11, thereby preventing the light beam from leaking out, thereby improving the safety of the pallet organizer 100.

[0052] Similarly, when the photoelectric sensor is set on the inner side of the second side wall 12, when there is no mother pallet D1 at its corresponding position, the light beam emitted by the photoelectric sensor can be reflected back through the first side wall 11 opposite to the second side wall 12, avoiding the leakage of the light beam, thereby improving the safety of the pallet sorting machine 100.

[0053] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4, along the intersection line direction of the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12, the lengths of the first side wall 11, the second side wall 12 and the third side wall 13 are adjustable.

[0054] When the lengths of the first sidewall 11, the second sidewall 12, and the third sidewall 13 are adjusted, the spacing between the multiple counter elements 2 can also be adjusted, but the spacing between adjacent counter elements 2 must be equal. This allows the pallet organizer 100 to organize mother pallets D1 of varying thicknesses, ensuring that the pallet thickness always matches the spacing between adjacent counter elements 2. This expands the applicability of the pallet organizer 100.

[0055] It should be noted that the lengths of the first side wall 11 , the second side wall 12 and the third side wall 13 may be adjusted by telescoping or by splicing, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0056] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 Along the intersection line of the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 , a base 3 is provided at the same end of the first side wall 11 and the third side wall 13 , and the base 3 is used to be placed on a horizontal plane.

[0057] When the pallet organizer 100 is placed on a horizontal surface, the base 3 acts as a support, and the pallet organizer 100 is in point-to-point contact with the horizontal surface. In contrast, if the first and third side walls 11, 13 are directly in contact with the horizontal surface, they are in line-to-line contact. Because point-to-point contact is more stable than line-to-line contact, the base 3 further stabilizes the pallet organizer 100.

[0058] It should be noted that the base 3 may be a metal block, a rubber block, a plastic block, or a block made of other materials, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0059] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the second side wall 12 is a frame structure.

[0060] In this way, while ensuring that the second side wall 12 can be enclosed together with the first side wall 11 and the third side wall 13 to form the receiving groove 14, the second side wall 12 has a through hole, thereby saving materials and reducing the manufacturing cost of the tray organizer 100.

[0061] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The frame structure includes a transverse rod 121 and a longitudinal rod 122 . The two ends of the transverse rod 121 are respectively connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 . The longitudinal rod 122 is connected to the transverse rod 121 , and the longitudinal rod 122 is perpendicular to the transverse rod 121 .

[0062] Because the ends of the transverse rods 121 are connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12, respectively, a certain distance is maintained between the first side wall 11 and the third side wall 13, thereby ensuring a relatively stable width of the receiving slot 14. Furthermore, because the longitudinal rods 122 are connected to the transverse rods 121 and are perpendicular to the transverse rods 121, the distance between the transverse rods 121 remains stable. In summary, the frame structure formed by the interconnected transverse rods 121 and the longitudinal rods 122 is relatively stable and less prone to deformation. This ensures a relatively stable structure of the second side wall 12, and consequently, a relatively stable overall structure of the pallet organizer 100.

[0063] It should be noted that the transverse rod 121 and the longitudinal rod 122 are connected by bolts or rivets, and can also be connected by other connecting parts, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0064] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The controller is provided with a single chip microcomputer, which is electrically connected to a plurality of counting elements 2 and the forklift.

[0065] In this way, the detection signal generated by the counting element 2 after identifying the mother pallet D1 can be transmitted to the microcontroller inside the controller. After receiving the detection signal, the microcontroller can generate a quantity signal. When the quantity reflected by the quantity signal is greater than the quantity limit of the mother pallet D1, the microcontroller can send a control signal to the forklift.

[0066] When the counting element 2 is a photoelectric sensor, when the palletizer 100 is used to stack multiple mother pallets D1, multiple photoelectric sensors can emit light beams in real time to detect the presence of a mother pallet D1 at the corresponding location. Each counting element 2 is used to detect the presence of a mother pallet D1 at the corresponding location and generate a detection signal. This detection signal can be transmitted to the microcontroller, which, upon receiving the detection signal, generates a mother pallet D1 count signal. When the count signal indicates that the number of mother pallets D1 is less than the mother pallet D1 count limit, further mother pallets D1 can be added to the palletizer 100's storage slot 14. When the count signal indicates that the number of mother pallets D1 is greater than the mother pallet D1 count limit, the microcontroller can issue a warning signal to prohibit further addition of mother pallets D1 to the storage slot 14. Simultaneously, the microcontroller can send a transport signal to a forklift. Upon receiving the transport signal, the forklift automatically drives to the palletizer 100's location, then uses its forklift arm to lift the mother pallet group D in the storage slot 14 and transport it to the cache. This realizes the function of automatic counting and automatic transportation of the mother pallets D1 in the mother pallet group D. This improves the efficiency of sorting the mother pallets D1, thereby improving the production efficiency of the factory.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or terminal device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or terminal device that includes the element.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
