[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The utility model provides a tray destacking machine, which solves the technical problem that the current tray destacking machine is not convenient for clamping the tray. The tray destacking machine includes a frame 1, a lifting assembly 2, a clamping member 3 and a plug plate 4, wherein:

[0031] The frame 1 is used to support other components of the tray unstacking machine to provide stable support for the tray unstacking machine. The frame 1 has a working space for disassembling and stacking the trays 11. The frame 1 is provided with a conveying roller for conveying the trays 11. Figure 1 As shown, the material tray 11 is transported along a direction parallel to the x-axis.

[0032] The lifting assembly 2 is installed on the frame 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the lifting component 2 can move in a direction parallel to the z-axis, so that the lifting component 2 can make real-time position adjustments according to the actual height of the stacked material trays 11 in the workspace. Specifically, the lifting component 2 can accurately deliver new material trays 11 into the stacking area, and can also lift the stacked material trays 11 to the required height.

[0033] The clamping member 3 is mounted on the lifting assembly 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown, the clamping member 3 moves with the lifting assembly 2 in a direction parallel to the z-axis, so as to conveniently adjust the height of the clamping member 3, and the clamping member 3 can move in a direction parallel to the y-axis. The clamping member 3 moves in a direction parallel to the y-axis toward the material tray 11 in the working space and abuts against the material tray 11, thereby clamping the material tray 11. The clamping member 3 moves in a direction parallel to the y-axis toward the material tray 11 in the working space and separates from the material tray 11 to release the material tray 11. The lifting assembly 2 moves in a direction parallel to the z-axis, so as to align the clamping member 3 with the material tray 11 or move the clamped material tray 11.

[0034] The insert plate 4 is mounted on the clamping member 3, and the lifting assembly 2 and the clamping member 3 move in coordination, thereby driving the clamping member 3 to move in a direction parallel to the z-axis and the y-axis. The insert plate 4 extends toward the working space. When the clamping member 3 moves toward the working space, the insert plate 4 is driven to move toward the tray 11. The clamping member 3 continues to move toward the working space, thereby inserting the insert plate 4 into the first slot 111, so that the tray 11 is fixed to the clamping member 3 through the insert plate 4. The lifting assembly 2 in this embodiment There are two lifting assemblies 2, one on each side of the tray 11. The clamps 3, insert plates 4, and lifting assemblies 2 correspond one-to-one. That is, the two sides of the tray 11 are inserted into the two first slots 111 through the two insert plates 4, thereby fixing the tray 11 between the two clamps 3. When the lifting assembly 2 is raised in a direction parallel to the z-axis, the tray 11 abuts against the surface of the insert plates 4, which support the tray 11, thereby reducing the force applied by the clamps 3 on the tray 11 and reducing the possibility of the tray 11 falling. Therefore, the insert plates 4 not only provide support for the tray 11, but also effectively reduce the clamping force applied by the clamps 3 on the tray 11, avoiding damage to the tray 11 caused by over-tightening.

[0035] Through the above structure, the tray destacking machine provided by the present invention drives the clamping member 3 to move through the lifting assembly 2, so that the insert plate 4 on the clamping member 3 is aligned with the first slot 111 of the material tray 11, and then the clamping member 3 pushes the insert plate 4 to move toward the first slot 111, so that the insert plate 4 is inserted into the first slot 111, and then the lifting assembly 2 drives the clamping member 3 to rise, and the material tray 11 abuts against the surface of the insert plate 4 under the action of gravity, thereby supporting the material tray 11 and fixing the material tray 11 on the clamping member 3, and then placing a new material tray 11 under the clamped material tray 11 or removing the removed material tray 11, so as to facilitate further stacking or destacking of the material tray 11. Therefore, the tray destacking machine reduces the clamping force applied to the material tray 11 by inserting the insert plate 4 into the first slot 111 of the material tray 11, thereby better protecting the material tray 11.

[0036] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: it also includes an insert block 5, which is slidably mounted on the insert block 5, and the insert block 5 moves in a direction perpendicular to the insert plate 4. A second slot 112 corresponding to the insert block 5 is provided on the material tray 11, and the insert block 5 is plugged into the second slot 112 to fix the material tray 11 to the clamping member 3. When the clamping member 3 drives the insert plate 4 and the insert block 5 to move in the direction close to the material tray 11, the insert block 5 is inserted into the second slot 112, thereby fixing the material tray 11 on the clamping member 3, and the insert plate 4 reduces the movement of the material tray 11 in the direction parallel to the z-axis, reducing the shaking or falling of the material tray 11 during the lifting process; and the insert block 5 reduces the movement of the material tray 11 in the direction parallel to the y-axis by being inserted into the second slot 112, making the material tray 11 more stable during the transportation process. During the stacking or disassembly of the material tray 11, the coordinated work of the insert plate 4 and the insert block 5 improves the stability of the material tray 11 and reduces the risk of damage or falling of the material tray 11.

[0037] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: it also includes a spring 6, one end of the spring 6 is installed on the insert plate 4, and the other end of the spring 6 is installed on the insert block 5. In the reset state, the elastic force of the spring 6 pushes the insert block 5 to move in the direction away from the second slot 112. When the clamping member 3 drives the insert plate 4 to be accurately inserted into the first slot 111 on the material tray 11, the lifting component 2 starts to work and rises in the direction parallel to the z-axis, thereby driving the entire clamping member 3, the insert plate 4 and the material tray 11 connected thereto to rise together. In this process, the gravity of the material tray 11 is gradually applied to the insert block 5. When the gravity reaches When it reaches a certain extent, it overcomes the reset force of the spring 6, pushing the insert block 5 to move toward the second slot 112 in a direction perpendicular to the insert plate 4 until the insert block 5 is fully inserted into the second slot 112, thereby further fixing the material tray 11. When the material tray 11 needs to be removed, the lifting assembly 2 will be lowered in the opposite direction, placing the clamping member 3, the insert plate 4 and the material tray 11 steadily on the conveyor roller. At this time, the spring 6 is in the reset state, pushing the insert block 5 to move in the direction away from the second slot 112 until the insert block 5 is completely disengaged from the second slot 112, thereby facilitating the removal of the material tray 11.

[0038] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: a socket 41 is provided on the plug plate 4, and the socket 41 serves as a movement guide for the plug block 5, reducing the rotation of the plug block 5 during the movement, ensuring that the plug block 5 can be smoothly and accurately inserted into the second slot 112 of the material tray 11, and the shape and size of the socket 41 need to ensure that the plug block 5 can be fully inserted into the socket 41, and the wall of the plug block 5 can abut against the side wall of the socket 41, thereby providing stable support for the plug block 5, limiting the rotation of the plug block 5, and reducing the problem of inaccurate alignment caused by the rotation of the plug block 5 during the insertion process. When the clamping member 3 drives the plug plate 4 and the plug block 5 to move in the direction close to the material tray 11, the plug block 5 will move along under the guidance of the socket 41, thereby guiding the plug block 5 and reducing the rotation of the plug block 5, which is inconvenient for it to be inserted into the second slot 112.

[0039] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: a wedge-shaped surface is provided in the first slot 111 of the material tray 11, and the end of the insert block 5 close to the material tray 11 is adapted to the wedge-shaped surface. When the clamping member 3 drives the insert plate 4 to move toward the first slot 111, the insert block 5 abuts against the wedge surface, and the clamping member 3 drives the insert plate 4 to continue to move toward the first slot 111. The spring 6 is compressed to store elastic potential energy, and the wedge-shaped surface pushes the insert block 5 to move toward the second slot 112, so as to insert the insert block 5 into the second slot 112. When the lifting assembly 2 drives the clamping member 3, the insert plate 4 and the material tray 11 connected thereto to rise together, the gravity of the material tray 11 is applied to the insert block 5 through the wedge-shaped surface, pushing the insert block 5 to move toward the second slot 112 in a direction perpendicular to the insert plate 4, so as to better fix the insert block 5 in the second slot 112, thereby improving the stability of the fixation of the material tray 11.

[0040] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: the lifting assembly 2 includes a driving belt 21 and a mounting plate 22, wherein the driving belt 21 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, the mounting plate 22 is mounted on the driving belt 21, and the mounting plate 22 rises and falls with the rotation of the driving belt 21, and the clamping member 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 22 and moves with the rising and falling of the mounting plate 22, so that the clamping member 3 can more flexibly adapt to material trays 11 of different heights and positions.

[0041] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: the clamping member 3 includes a push rod 31 and a push plate 32, wherein the push rod 31 is installed on the mounting plate 22, and the push rod 31 moves in the direction close to the material tray 11. The push rod 31 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and the push plate 32 is installed on the push rod 31 and moves with the movement of the push rod 31. Under the action of the push rod 31, the push rod 31 can drive the push plate 32 to move in the direction close to or away from the material tray 11, thereby realizing the clamping or release operation of the material tray 11. The insert plate 4 is installed on the push plate 32 and moves with the movement of the push plate 32, so that the insert plate 4 is inserted into the slot of the material tray 11 to fix the material tray 11.

[0042] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: it also includes a guide rail 7 and a guide block 8, the guide rail 7 is installed on the frame 1, the guide block 8 is slidably installed on the guide rail 7, the lifting component 2 is installed on the guide block 8, and the lifting component 2 is directly installed on the guide block 8, and rises and falls with the sliding of the guide block 8. Under the guiding action of the guide rail 7, the guide block 8 can slide smoothly along the guide rail 7, reducing the shaking and deviation of the lifting component 2 during the lifting process, which makes it inconvenient to fix the material tray 11.

[0043] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: it also includes a shell 9, which is installed outside the frame 1. The shell 9 is provided with a material port for facilitating the entry and exit of the material tray 11. The shell 9 is used to reduce the external environment's impact on the disassembly and stacking of the material tray 11. At the same time, when the material tray 11 falls over, the shell 9 can effectively prevent the material tray 11 from rolling directly to the outside of the frame 1, reducing damage to other equipment or injury to personnel, improving the safety of the tray destacking machine, and providing more reliable protection for the operator.

[0044] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: it also includes an opening and closing door 10, which is installed on the shell 9. The opening and closing door 10 is located on the side of the shell 9 close to the lifting component 2. By opening or closing the opening and closing door 10, the lifting component 2 and the clamping member 3 can be easily inspected, maintained and serviced.

[0045] In summary, the disc destacking machine provided by the present invention has the mounting plate 22 raised and lowered as the driving belt 21 rotates, so that the insert plate 4 on the clamping member 3 is aligned with the first slot 111 of the material tray 11, and then the clamping member 3 pushes the insert plate 4 to move toward the first slot 111, and the insert block 5 abuts against the wedge surface, and the clamping member 3 drives the insert plate 4 to continue to move toward the first slot 111, and the spring 6 is compressed to store elastic potential energy, and the wedge surface pushes the insert block 5 to move toward the second slot 112, so that the insert block 5 is inserted into the second slot 112, and the insert plate 4 is inserted into the first slot 111, and then the lifting component 2 drives the clamping member 3 to rise, and the gravity of the material tray 11 is applied to the insert block 5 through the wedge surface, pushing the insert block 5 along the vertical The insert plate 4 is moved toward the second slot 112 to better fix the insert block 5 in the second slot 112, thereby improving the stability of the tray 11. A new tray 11 is placed under the clamped tray 11 or the removed tray 11 is removed to facilitate further stacking. When the tray 11 needs to be removed, the lifting assembly 2 is lowered in the opposite direction to stably place the clamp 3, the insert plate 4 and the tray 11 on the conveyor roller. The push rod 31 drives the insert plate 4 to move away from the tray 11. The spring 6, in the reset state, pushes the insert block 5 to move away from the second slot 112 until the insert block 5 is completely disengaged from the second slot 112, thereby facilitating the removal of the tray 11. Therefore, the tray destacking machine reduces the clamping force applied to the tray 11 by inserting the insert plate 4 into the first slot 111 of the tray 11, thereby better protecting the tray 11.
