[0025] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model is a cooling and forming device for processing plastic pallets, including a cooling water pool 1, a frame 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the cooling water pool 1, and the inner wall of the frame 2 is provided with a conveying component 3 for conveying plastic pallets, a support plate 4 is fixedly connected between the cooling water pool 1 and the frame 2, and three support members 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 4, and a servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the support members 5, and the output end of the servo motor 6 is connected to the swing shaft 7 through a coupling, and the outer wall of the swing shaft 7 is detachably connected to the flip conveyor frame 8, and a suction cup assembly 9 is installed on the flip conveyor frame 8. During the actual implementation process, the cooling water pool 1 can carry cold water, and a drain pipe with a valve can be set at the bottom of the side wall of the water pool, so that the water in the cooling water pool 1 can be directly discharged through the drain pipe. The frame 2 is used to support the conveying component 3, and the conveying component 3 is lifted and cooperated with the suction cup assembly 9. The swing shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the other two support members 5 through bearings. When the servo motor 6 is working, it can directly drive the swing shaft 7 to rotate. When the swing shaft 7 rotates, it can drive the flip conveyor frame 8 to move to the top of the conveying component 3 or into the cooling water pool 1. The suction cup assembly 9 can directly adsorb the plastic pallet to achieve the purpose of automatic loading and unloading, effectively improving the overall cooling efficiency.

[0027] Optionally, the conveying component 3 includes a plurality of conveying rollers 31 equidistantly mounted on the inner sidewall of the frame 2 via bearings. One end of one of the conveying rollers 31 extending beyond the frame 2 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 32. In actual implementation, the drive motor 32 drives the conveying rollers 31 to rotate. The rotation of the conveying rollers 31 pushes the pallets on them, thereby transporting the pallets.

[0028] Optionally, a sprocket 33 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveying roller 31, and multiple sprockets 33 are connected by a chain 34. In actual implementation, the sprockets 33 are connected in series by the chain 34. When one sprocket 33 rotates, the remaining sprockets will also rotate synchronously under the engagement of the chain, thereby gradually delivering and completing the effective conveying of the pallet.

[0029] Optionally, auxiliary rollers 35 are rotatably connected to the inner sidewall of the frame 2 via bearings. The chain 34 is carried on the auxiliary rollers 35 to redirect the chain 34 and increase the wrap angle between the chain 34 and the sprocket 33. In actual implementation, there are multiple auxiliary rollers 35, with one auxiliary roller 35 positioned between each of the two sprockets 33, thereby tensioning and pulling the chain, thereby ensuring that the chain 34 can effectively drive the sprocket 33 to rotate.

[0030] Optionally, the flip conveyor frame 8 includes a plate structure 81 and three frame structures 82 fixedly connected to the top of the plate structure 81. The frame structure 82 is detachably connected to the swing shaft 7 via bolts 83. The side wall of the plate structure 81 is provided with a slide groove 84. In actual implementation, one end of the frame structure 82 is provided with a through hole that is compatible with the bolt 83. The bolt is inserted into one end of the frame structure 82 and inserted into the through hole and fixed by a nut that is compatible with the bolt 83. When the plate structure 81 needs to be replaced, the bolt 83 can be removed. There are at least three sets of slide grooves 84 on the plate structure 81. The suction cup assembly 9 can be installed in different slide grooves for pallets of different sizes.

[0031] Optionally, the suction cup assembly 9 includes a suction cup 91 inserted into the inner wall of the slide groove 84, the outer wall of the suction cup 91 is threadedly connected with a nut, and the suction cup 91 is fixed to the plate structure 81 by tightening the nut. The bottom of the suction cup 91 is connected to a soft air tube 92, and one end of the soft air tube 92 is connected to an air pump 93, and the air pump 93 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the frame 2. In actual implementation, the air pump 93 can extract the air pressure in the suction cup 91 through the soft air tube 92, so that a re-pressure state is generated in the suction cup 91, completing the adsorption of the pallet. The soft air tube 92 is used to facilitate displacement during swinging, ensuring continuous connection of the air tube. The suction cup 91 can be unlocked and locked by loosening or tightening the nut. The suction cup 91 can be moved in the unlocked state. After positioning, the suction cup 91 is fixed by the locking nut to ensure that the suction cup 91 is in a fixed working state.

[0032] Optionally, a stopper rod 85 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the plate structure 81 facing the suction surface of the suction cup 91. In actual implementation, when the plate structure 81 needs to be loaded, the stopper rod 85 is first lowered below the conveyor roller 31. At this time, the pallet on the conveyor roller 31 will be stopped by the stopper rod 85, making it easier for the suction cup assembly 9 to absorb the pallet.
