[0030] After the first brake disc is stacked, the first cylinder 5 is used to drive the mounting frame 7 to move upward, so that the turntable 9 enters the circular groove 2 on the left, so that the top of the turntable 9 is flush with the top of the gantry 1, and the external manipulator places the grabbed brake disc on the turntable 9. As the intermittent motor 8 runs, the turntable 9 is driven to rotate intermittently to place a single layer of multiple brake discs on the turntable 9; after the single layer placement is completed, the first cylinder 5 drives the turntable 9 to move downward, so that the top surface of the brake disc is flush with the top of the gantry 1, and the second cylinder 6 runs, and the push plate 12 moves upward to push a gasket 11 out of the circular groove 2 on the right, and then the pusher is used to push the gasket 11 into the circular groove 2 on the left, and then the pusher is reset, and then the external manipulator works to stack the second layer of brake discs, and repeats the above steps until the bottom end of the turntable 9 contacts the bottom end of the inner cavity of the container 4, thereby realizing multi-layer isolated stacking of the brake discs.

When the servo motor 16 is started, the screw 15 and the slide plate 14 are threaded together to drive it to move, thereby driving the push bar 17 to move and pushing the gasket 11 to move.

[0034] Among them, the two sides of the two slides 14 close to each other are fixed with vertical plates 18 by bolts, and the two ends of the push strip 17 are respectively fixed on the sides of the two vertical plates 18, and the bottom end of the push strip 17 is flush with the top of the gantry 1. Bolt fixing facilitates the loading and unloading of the push strip 17.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the container 4 includes vertical rods 19 and cross bars 20. Multiple cross bars 20 are arranged at equal intervals in the upper and lower directions.

At this time, the No. 2 cylinder 6 runs, and a gasket 11 is pushed out to the right by moving the push plate 12 upward. The circular groove 2 on the side is then pushed and moved by a pushing member to the circular groove 2 on the left side, and then the pushing member is reset; then the external manipulator works to stack the second layer of brake discs, and the above steps are repeated until the bottom end of the turntable 9 contacts the cross bar 20 of the lowest layer. At this time, the threaded holes 25 on the turntable 9 and the cross bar 20 are connected by bolts, and then the power supply of the electromagnet moment block 23 is disconnected, and the No. 1 cylinder 5 drives the mounting frame 7 to move downward to separate it from the turntable 9. The operator directly removes the container 4 and the turntable 9 to remove the stacked brake discs, and then installs the new turntable 9 and container 4.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present utility model, by setting the vertical pole 19 and the cross bar 20, the brake discs stacked on it are limited and protected to prevent them from falling during the continuous downward movement of the turntable 9; by setting the rectangular groove 22, the electromagnetic moment block 23, the hidden groove 24 and the threaded hole 25, the turntable 9 and the threaded hole 25 on the cross bar 20 are connected by bolts, the power supply of the electromagnetic moment block 23 is disconnected, and the No. 1 cylinder 5 drives the mounting frame 7 to move downward into the hidden groove 24, thereby realizing its separation from the turntable 9, facilitating the removal of the container 4 and the turntable 9, and realizing the overall removal of the stacked brake discs.

[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
