[0002] An automatic pallet collection device is a type of industrial automation equipment primarily used in logistics, warehousing, or production lines to automatically collect and organize used pallets. Typically consisting of a conveyor system, an identification system, a sorting mechanism, and a storage system, the device automatically identifies and grabs empty pallets according to a pre-set program, transports them to a designated location via a conveyor belt, and stacks or categorizes them for storage. This reduces manual labor, improves logistics efficiency, lowers labor costs, and ensures a clean and safe workplace.

[0003] In existing logistics and warehousing management processes, the collection and stacking of empty pallets is typically done manually. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient. Furthermore, since empty pallets often need to be stacked to a certain height to meet storage or transportation requirements, manual stacking poses safety risks such as falls and pallets slipping, increasing workplace safety risks. Therefore, existing methods for collecting and stacking empty pallets are not only inefficient but also pose potential safety issues. An automated pallet collection device is urgently needed to improve this situation. Utility Model Content

[0004] One purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic pallet collection device, which solves the problem that the traditional manual collection and stacking method proposed in the above background not only consumes a lot of time and labor, but is also inefficient. In addition, since the stacking of empty pallets often needs to reach a certain height to meet the needs of storage or transportation, manual workers face safety hazards such as falling and pallet slipping during the stacking process, which increases safety risks in the workplace.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the utility model, an automatic pallet collecting device includes a main body outer frame, a guide shovel is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side surface of the main body outer frame, a driving motor is installed at the upper end of the outer side of the main body outer frame, the output end of the driving motor is transmission-connected to a conveying roller, the conveying roller is rotatably connected to the inside of the main body outer frame, four conveying rollers are provided, a driving tooth is fixedly installed at one end of the conveying roller on one side of the inside of the main body outer frame, a driven tooth is fixedly installed at one end of the conveying roller on the other side of the inside of the main body outer frame, the driving tooth and the driven tooth are meshed with each other through two transmission teeth, the surfaces of the conveying rollers are connected to each other through a conveyor belt, a baffle is fixedly installed on the surface of the conveyor belt, a second switch is installed at the lower end of the inner surface of the main body outer frame, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner surface of the main body outer frame, an indicator light is installed on the upper surface of the fixed plate, and a first switch is installed on the lower surface of the fixed plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The utility model is provided with structures such as conveying rollers and baffles. When collecting empty pallets, the empty pallet is placed on the ground, the device is pushed to one side of the empty pallet, and the device is pushed toward the direction of the empty pallet. After the empty pallet enters the interior of the main body outer frame under the guidance of the guide shovel, the empty pallet triggers the second switch, and the second switch controls the drive motor to start, driving the conveying roller and the conveyor belt to convey the empty pallet upward. When the empty pallet moves upward and leaves the position of the second switch, the second switch resets itself, and the drive motor stops running. When the next empty pallet enters the interior of the main body outer frame and triggers the second switch again, the drive motor continues to run to convey the empty pallet inside upward, significantly improving the efficiency of collecting and stacking empty pallets, while reducing the safety risks of manual operation. It achieves the dual advantages of saving labor and improving work safety, and effectively avoids the traditional manual collection and stacking method that not only consumes a lot of time and labor, but also has low efficiency. In addition, since the stacking of empty pallets often needs to reach a certain height to meet the needs of storage or transportation, manual workers face safety hazards such as falling and pallet slipping during the stacking process, which increases the safety risks in the workplace.

[0015] The utility model is provided with structures such as a first switch and an indicator light. When the interior of the main body frame is full of empty pallets, the uppermost empty pallet reaches the position of the first switch, the first switch is triggered, and the indicator light is on, indicating that the interior of the device cannot continue to collect empty pallets. Through the provided structures such as the limit block, the electric roller and the straightening plate, after the empty pallet enters the interior of the guide shovel, the position of the empty pallet is first straightened by the elastic force of the spring structure and the force of the straightening plate. Then, the electric roller rotates to move the empty pallet toward the interior of the main body frame, thereby realizing automatic positioning and accurate movement of the empty pallet, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of pallet processing, while reducing manual intervention, and lowering the risk of operational errors and work-related injuries.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0023] refer to Figure 1-4, an automatic pallet collecting device includes a main body outer frame 1, a guide shovel 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side surface of the main body outer frame 1, a driving motor 8 is installed on the upper end of the outer side of the main body outer frame 1, and the output end of the driving motor 8 is transmission-connected to a conveying roller 9, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the main body outer frame 1, and four conveying rollers 9 are provided. One end of the conveying roller 9 on one side of the inside of the main body outer frame 1 is fixedly installed with a driving tooth 12, and one end of the conveying roller 9 on the other side of the inside of the main body outer frame 1 is fixedly installed with a driven tooth 14, and the driving tooth 12 and the driven tooth 14 are meshed with each other through two transmission teeth 13. The surfaces of the conveying rollers 9 are connected to each other through a conveyor belt 10, and a baffle 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the conveyor belt 10. A second switch 18 is installed on the lower end of the inner surface of the main body outer frame 1, and a fixed plate 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner surface of the main body outer frame 1. An indicator light 16 is installed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 15, and an indicator light 16 is installed on the lower surface of the fixed plate 15. A first switch 17 is provided. Through the provided conveying rollers 9 and baffles 11 and other structures, when collecting empty pallets, the empty pallets are placed on the ground. After pushing the device to one side of the empty pallet, the device is pushed toward the direction of the empty pallet. After the empty pallet enters the interior of the main outer frame 1 under the guidance of the guide shovel 3, the empty pallet triggers the second switch 18. The second switch 18 controls the drive motor 8 to start, driving the conveying rollers 9 and the conveyor belt 10 to convey the empty pallet upward. When the empty pallet moves upward and leaves the position of the second switch 18, the second switch 18 resets itself, and the drive motor 8 stops running. When the next empty pallet enters the interior of the main outer frame 1 and triggers the second switch 18 again, the drive motor 8 continues to run to convey the empty pallets inside upward, which significantly improves the efficiency of collecting and stacking empty pallets, while reducing the safety risks of manual operation. It achieves the dual advantages of saving labor and improving operation safety.

[0024] Example 1: The cross-section of the guide shovel 3 is a right-angled triangle structure. Both ends of the upper surface of the guide shovel 3 are fixedly connected to the limiting blocks 4. The inner surface of the limiting block 4 is installed with a number of electric rollers 5. The inner end of the limiting block 4 is rotatably connected to the straightening plate 6. A spring structure 7 is installed between the inner surface of the straightening plate 6 and the surface of the limiting block 4. Through the set limit blocks 4, electric rollers 5 and straightening plate 6 and other structures, after the empty pallet enters the guide shovel 3, the position of the empty pallet is first straightened by the elastic force of the spring structure 7 and the force of the straightening plate 6. Then, the electric rollers 5 are rotated to move the empty pallet toward the inside of the main body frame 1, thereby realizing automatic positioning and accurate movement of the empty pallet, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of pallet processing, while reducing manual intervention, reducing operational errors and the risk of work-related injuries.

[0025] Example 2: Moving wheels 2 are installed at the four corners of the two side surfaces of the main body frame 1, and the indicator light 16 is electrically connected to the external power supply through the first switch 17. Through the set first switch 17 and indicator light 16 and other structures, when the inside of the main body frame 1 is full of empty trays, after the uppermost empty tray reaches the position of the first switch 17, the first switch 17 is triggered. At this time, the indicator light 16 lights up, indicating that the empty trays can no longer be collected inside the device. The drive motor 8 is electrically connected to the external power supply through the second switch 18. The first switch 17 and the second switch 18 are both self-resetting press switches.

[0026] During use, first place the empty pallet on the ground, then push the device to one side of the empty pallet and push it toward the empty pallet. The right-angled triangle structure of the guide shovel 3, along with the stop block 4, motorized roller 5, and straightening plate 6, ensures the automatic positioning and accurate movement of the empty pallet, improving processing efficiency and accuracy while reducing manual intervention. Guided by the guide shovel 3, the empty pallet enters the main outer frame 1, triggering the second switch 18. The drive motor 8 starts, driving the conveyor rollers 9 and conveyor belt 10 to transport the empty pallet upward. After the empty pallet leaves the position of the second switch 18, the switch resets, and the drive motor 8 stops. When a new empty pallet enters the main outer frame 1 and the second switch 18 is triggered again, the drive motor 8 restarts and continues to transport the empty pallets. When the main outer frame 1 is full of empty pallets, the top empty pallet triggers the first switch 17, and the indicator light 16 illuminates, indicating that the device is full. Operation should be stopped at this point. When an empty pallet is needed, it can be removed from the inside of the main outer frame 1.

[0027] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
