Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of assembly lines, in particular to a tray separation device. Background Art

[0002] Current automated production processes, particularly those involving pallet loading and conveying, lack an efficient device for separating stacked pallets. Traditionally, this process relies on manual separation of pallets, requiring workers to manually remove each pallet from the stack and feed it to the subsequent production line. This existing method not only significantly slows down overall production cycles, reducing production line efficiency and throughput, but also leads to significant labor consumption and increased costs.

[0003] Specifically, manual pallet separation is susceptible to factors such as worker fatigue and uneven operating speed, making it difficult to ensure consistent and stable production. Therefore, a device that can automatically and accurately separate pallets one by one is needed to replace the existing manual operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pallet separation device in order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, so as to achieve effective separation of pallets stacked in piles.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model provides a tray separation device, comprising:

[0007] The slide is connected to a connecting rod, and both sides of one end of the connecting rod are respectively connected to separate fixing structures;

[0008] Wherein, any of the separation and fixing structures includes:

[0009] a first electric cylinder connected to the connecting rod;

[0010] a connecting plate connected to the guide rod of the first electric cylinder;

[0011] a second electric cylinder connected to the connecting plate;

[0012] a first baffle connected to the connecting plate;

[0013] The second blocking piece is connected to the guide rod of the second electric cylinder.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, it also includes:

[0015] The limiting frame has two opposite inner sides provided with slide rails, and the slide rails match the slide table.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, it also includes:

[0017] The motor matches the tooth groove pre-opened on the connecting rod;

[0018] The guide groove matches the slide.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the connecting rod is T-shaped.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution, the arrangement direction of the first electric cylinder is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the second electric cylinder.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution, it also includes:

[0022] A probe is connected to the connecting rod, and the probe points to the tray to be separated.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution, it also includes:

[0024] An auxiliary guide rod is connected to the connecting rod and the connecting plate respectively, and is parallel to the guide rod of the first electric cylinder.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution, the horizontal plane where the second baffle is located is located below the horizontal plane where the first baffle is located.

[0026] As a preferred technical solution, it includes a plurality of the first blocking pieces, which are arranged at both ends of the connecting plate.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution, the second electric cylinder is arranged on a side of the connecting plate away from the connecting rod.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0029] (1) Realize efficient pallet separation: The utility model sets a first electric cylinder, a connecting plate and a first baffle to clamp the pallet with separation from both sides inward to achieve pallet fixation.

[0039] 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" and the like, indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the utility model product is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but rather that it may be slightly tilted.

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0042] Regarding the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a pallet separation device, which mainly includes a slide 1, a connecting rod 2 and a separation fixing structure respectively arranged on both sides of one end of the connecting rod 2. Each part will be described in detail below.

[0043] The slide 1 is connected to a connecting rod 2, and both sides of one end of the connecting rod 2 are respectively connected to a separate fixed structure, a limiting frame 8, and two opposite inner sides are provided with slide rails 9, and the slide rails 9 match the slide 1. By adopting a method of connecting the slide 1 to the slide rails 9 on both sides, the stability during the horizontal sliding process is guaranteed, and as a price, the movable range is limited to the limiting frame 8. Specifically, this embodiment adopts a commercially available screw rod to realize the movement of the slide 1 along the slide rail 9. In order to realize longitudinal movement, this embodiment is also provided with a commercially available motor 10, which matches the tooth groove 11 pre-opened on the connecting rod 2, and realizes longitudinal movement through motor drive. At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of movement, this embodiment also includes a guide groove 12, which matches the slide 1 to ensure the accuracy and stability of the longitudinal movement.

[0044] The connecting rod 2 is arranged in an inverted T-shape. A separate fixed structure is symmetrically positioned at each end of the lower crossbar. This structure comprises a first electric cylinder 3, a connecting plate 4, and a second electric cylinder 5, which are sequentially connected. The first electric cylinder 3 is connected to the connecting rod 2, parallel to the crossbar and facing outward. The connecting plate 4 is connected to the guide rod of the first electric cylinder 3 and has a first stopper 4 at each end, facing inward. The second electric cylinder 5 is positioned perpendicular to the first electric cylinder 3, facing the ground, and located on the side of the connecting plate 4 away from the connecting rod 2. A second stopper 7 is connected to the guide rod of the second electric cylinder 5, with the second stopper 7 located below the first stopper 6.

[0045] Preferably, the device further comprises a probe 13 connected to the connecting rod 2 and pointing to the tray to be separated. The probe 13 can be a commercially available photoelectric sensor, ultrasonic sensor or infrared sensor to detect whether the device is in place.

[0046] Preferably, the separation and fixing structure further includes an auxiliary guide rod 14, which is respectively connected to the connecting rod 2 and the connecting plate 4 and is parallel to the guide rod of the first electric cylinder 3, so as to ensure the stability of the pallet fixation through the auxiliary guide.

[0047] It's important to note that the height of the connecting plate 4 should match the height of the pallet to be separated, ensuring that the first stopper 6, driven by the second electric cylinder 5, can clamp the pallet from both sides. The stroke of the second electric cylinder 5 should be greater than the height difference between adjacent pallets when stacked. The stroke of the first electric cylinder 3 should ensure that the first stopper 4 and the second stopper 7 can smoothly reach under the pallet during clamping. Motor 10 can be implemented using a commercially available stepper motor.

[0048] In this embodiment, the slide 1, the slide rail 9, the first electric cylinder 3, and the second electric cylinder 5 are implemented using commercially available products.

[0050] See also Figure 2 The screw rod is used to drive the slider to move horizontally so that the separation fixed structure reaches above the stacked pallet, the first electric cylinder 3 is extended, and the second electric cylinder 5 is retracted.

[0051] See also Figure 3 The motor 10 is used to drive the separation and fixing structure to move downward. After the probe 13 detects that it is in place, the first electric cylinder 3 is retracted, driving the first baffle 6 on the connecting plate 4 to clamp and fix the tray.

[0052] See also Figure 4 The second electric cylinder 5 extends out, so that the second baffle 7 abuts against the edge of the tray below, and the motor 10 drives the separation and fixing structure to move upward. The two cooperate to remove the top tray while preventing the lower tray from sticking to the upper tray.

[0053] See also Figure 5 , the second electric cylinder 5 is retracted, and the motor 10 is used to drive the separation and fixing structure to move upward.

[0054] See also Figure 6 The screw rod is used to drive the slider to move horizontally, and the motor 10 is used to drive the separation fixed structure to move longitudinally, and the separated single tray is placed on the preset station.
