Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of depalletizing, and in particular relates to a depalletizing machine. Background Art

[0002] Pallets are used in industrial production to stack goods for easy transportation and packaging. Traditionally, stacked pallets have been separated manually or by forklift, a labor-intensive process that can be difficult to ensure consistent placement. Depalletizers can work in conjunction with conveyor lines, automatically depalletizing according to pre-set rules based on the needs of different work scenarios.

[0003] At present, a variety of devices for depalletizing have been proposed in the prior art. For example, a depalletizing machine for a stacking machine proposed in the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN 214030891U includes a base, and the rear ends of both sides of the top of the base are fixedly installed with a frame, and the inner side of the guide wheel group is fixedly installed with a guide wheel group, and the inner side of the guide wheel group is fixedly installed with a plate body, and the inner side of the plate body is fixedly installed with a guide shaft, and the two sides of the front side of the guide shaft are fixedly installed with a fixed seat, and a sliding rod is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed seat, and a clamping arm is slidably sleeved on the surface of the slide rod, and a cylinder is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide shaft and located on the inner side of the fixed seat, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner side of the clamping arm, and a force arm is fixedly installed on the bottom of the front side of the clamping arm, and a motor is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the frame, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the lifting spindle, and the lifting spindle is connected to the driving sprocket through a first chain transmission, and the driving sprocket is fixedly installed to the outer side of the plate body.

[0004] However, the lifting spindle in the device is controlled by a sprocket chain mechanism to move up and down. During use, the chain is prone to becoming longer and loose, which will lead to the deterioration of the movement accuracy of the lifting spindle, and the insertion plate will not be able to accurately lift the pallet, thereby reducing production efficiency.

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, a depalletizer includes a main frame 1, on which a lifting mechanism 2 and a pick-and-place mechanism 3 are provided. The lifting mechanism 2 includes a motor 201 fixedly mounted on the main frame 1, a first sprocket 202 fixedly provided on the output shaft of the motor 201, a rotating shaft 203 rotatably connected to the main frame 1, the rotating shaft 203 is located below the motor 201, a second sprocket 204 is fixedly provided on the rotating shaft 203, the first sprocket 202 and the second sprocket 204 are connected by a chain 205, both ends of the rotating shaft 203 are vertically fixedly connected to a first connecting rod 206, the other end of the first connecting rod 206 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 207, the other end of the second connecting rod 207 is connected to the pick-and-place mechanism 3 by a wire rope 208, and when the motor 201 rotates, it drives the pick-and-place mechanism 3 to move back and forth up and down.

[0023] In this embodiment, the picking and placing mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301 and a front fork arm 303. The mounting frame 301 includes a first beam 3011 and a second beam 3012 arranged in parallel. Both ends of the first beam 3011 and the second beam 3012 are fixedly connected by a side plate 3013. A guide rod 302 is fixedly provided in parallel on the first beam 3011, and both ends of the guide rod 302 are slidably connected to the front fork arm 303.

[0024] In this embodiment, a pair of cylinders 304 with opposite telescopic directions are hingedly connected to the mounting frame 301. The telescopic end of the cylinder 304 is hingedly connected to the front fork arm 303, and the other end of the cylinder 304 is hingedly connected to the first crossbeam 3011. The telescopic movement of the two cylinders 304 drives the two front fork arms 303 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, first rollers 305 are provided on both side plates 3013 , and the outer circumference of the first rollers 305 abuts against the vertical frame surface of the main frame 1 . When the mounting frame 301 moves up and down, the first rollers 305 can reduce the friction between the mounting frame 301 and the main frame 1 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the front fork arm 303 includes a vertically arranged first arm 3031 and a second arm 3032 vertically fixedly connected to the first arm 3031. One end of the first arm 3031 is slidingly connected to the guide rod 302, and the other end of the first arm 3031 is provided with a horizontally rotating second roller 3033. The outer circumferential surface of the second roller 3033 is abutted against the surface of the second crossbeam 3012. The second roller 3033 can reduce the friction between the front fork arm 303 and the second crossbeam 3012.

[0027] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the second support arm 3032 is perpendicular to the plane where the mounting frame 301 is located. The limiting block 306 is detachably connected to the second support arm 3032. Specifically, it can be fastened by bolts and nuts. By adjusting the installation position of the limiting block 306 on the second support arm, the destacking requirements of pallets of different sizes can be met. The limiting block 306 includes a vertical first baffle 3061 and a second baffle arranged perpendicular to the first baffle 3061. In actual use, the first baffle 3061 is against the side wall of the pallet, and the second baffle 3062 is inserted into the socket of the pallet.

[0028] When the present embodiment is in use, it needs to work in conjunction with the conveyor line. The forklift puts the neatly stacked pallet onto the conveyor line. When the sensor on the conveyor line detects that the pallet has moved to the corresponding position of the depalletizer, the conveyor line stops moving. At this time, the second baffle 3062 corresponds to the position of the insertion hole of the second layer of pallet at the bottom. The cylinder 304 drives the two front fork arms 303 to move closer to each other and insert the second baffle 3062 into the insertion hole of the pallet. The motor 201 drives the rotating shaft 203 to rotate a certain angle through the chain 205, thereby causing the pick-and-place mechanism 3 to drive the pallets of the second layer and above at the bottom to rise to the highest point and separate from the pallet at the bottom. The conveyor line is started again, and the pallet on it can be transported to the corresponding process in the subsequent section; the motor 201 rotates again, and after the pick-and-place mechanism 3 drives the pallet to descend to the conveyor line, the second baffle 3062 is inserted into the insertion hole of the second layer of pallet at the bottom again, and the previous step is repeated to continuously destacker the stacked pallets.

[0029] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
