Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be considered as the scope of implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0028] In order to describe the present invention in detail, first, the loading device for a material tray of the present invention will be specifically described below.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the utility model provides a kind of loading device for material pallet, including first transmission line 1 and second transmission line 2, first transmission line 1 is used to transmit pallet along first direction, second transmission line 2, for transmitting pallet along the second direction opposite to first direction.This embodiment first direction is from left to right, and second direction is from head to left.

[0030] The middle part of first transmission line 1, second transmission line 2 is separated by a small distance, which is equivalent to setting a gap in the middle part of first transmission line 1, second transmission line 2 respectively, moving mechanism 5 is located at the gap, moving mechanism 5 is located between first transmission line 1 and second transmission line 2, carrying mechanism 3 is installed on moving mechanism 5, and moving mechanism 5 is used to control the reciprocating motion of carrying mechanism 3 between first transmission line 1 and second transmission line 2.Both sides of one end of moving mechanism 5 are provided with first transmission line 1, and both sides of the other end of moving mechanism 5 are provided with second transmission line 2.Carrying mechanism 3 is used to contact with the bottom of material pallet, and lifting mechanism 4 is used to control the lifting of carrying mechanism 3.

[0031] The first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 2 of the embodiment are both provided with two sections, because this way makes the material pallet can be better transmitted.If first transmission line 1 and second transmission line 2 have only one section, then moving mechanism 5 is located at the side of first transmission line 1 and second transmission line 2, when material pallet moves on first transmission line 1, it may not fall on carrying mechanism 3, and material pallet cannot smoothly enter second transmission line 2.

[0032] The first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 2 of the present application are both provided with two sections, for example, when material pallet moves on first transmission line 1 to the upper side of moving mechanism 5, both ends of material pallet are located on first transmission line 1, at this time, lifting mechanism 4 drives carrying mechanism 3 to rise, and material pallet is lifted, then moving mechanism 5 drives lifting mechanism 4 and carrying mechanism 3 to move to the gap of second transmission line 2, lifting mechanism 4 lowers carrying mechanism 3, and both ends of material pallet fall on second transmission line 2, when second transmission line 2 transmits, it can smoothly move material pallet.

[0033] The first transmission line 1 is a recycling line, and therefore, in order to smoothly stop the material tray, a first baffle 101 is arranged on the first transmission line 1, both ends of the first baffle 101 span across both sides of the first transmission line 1 along the width direction of the first transmission line 1, and the material tray is blocked by the first baffle 101 after moving to the first baffle 101 and cannot continue to move. In order to smoothly locate the middle part of the tray in the width direction after the carrying mechanism 3 rises, a second power 105 is arranged on the first transmission line 1, the output end of the second power 105 is connected with a second baffle 102, a third baffle 103 is arranged on the side of the first transmission line 1 close to the second transmission line 2, and the second baffle 102 and the third baffle 103 can be arranged in parallel. The second power 105 is installed on the side away from the first transmission line 1, and after the material tray is blocked by the first baffle 101, the second power 105 moves the second baffle 102 towards the side of the third baffle 103, positions the material tray on the other side, so that the position where the carrying mechanism 3 contacts the material tray is certain, and it is ensured that the carrying mechanism 3 can smoothly lift and move the material tray.

[0034] A fourth baffle is installed on the side of the second transmission line 2 away from the first transmission line 1, and after the moving mechanism 5 moves the material tray to the second transmission line 2, the fourth baffle can limit the material tray.

[0035] In order to make the material tray basically remain in the middle part when moving on the first transmission line 1 and the second transmission line 2 to facilitate subsequent operation, a first guide plate 104 is installed on both sides of the first transmission line 1, and a second guide plate 201 is arranged on both sides of the second transmission line 2, and the inlet of the first guide plate 104 and the second guide plate 201 is arranged in a horn shape. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, for example, the first transmission line 1 moves from left to right, the left side of the first guide plate 104 is arranged in a horn shape, and the second transmission line 2 moves from right to left, and the right side of the second guide plate 201 is arranged in a horn shape.

[0036] The moving mechanism 5 includes a connecting plate 503, a first power, and a first guide rail 501, and the first guide rail 501 is installed on the connecting plate 503. The first guide rail 501 is provided with the belts of the first transmission line 1 on both sides of one end, and the belts of the second transmission line 2 on both sides of the other end. In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 5 can adopt a lead screw sliding table.

[0037] The supporting mechanism 3 includes a vertical plate 301 and a sliding plate 302. The sliding plate 302 is connected to the moving mechanism 5. The vertical plate 301 is connected to the sliding plate 302. A first bottom plate 303 is provided on the vertical plate 301. The lifting mechanism 4 is provided on the side of the vertical plate 301 away from the sliding plate 302. The lifting mechanism 4 passes through the first bottom plate 303 and is connected to the second bottom plate 304. The lifting mechanism 4 is used to control the raising and lowering of the second bottom plate 304. To facilitate the lifting mechanism 4 to pass through the first bottom plate 303, an opening is provided in the first bottom plate 303. To limit the lowering position of the second bottom plate 304, the size of the opening is smaller than the size of the second bottom plate 304, so that the second bottom plate 304 cannot pass through the opening and continue to move downward, preventing the second bottom plate 304 from being unable to pass through the opening when it is about to rise.

[0038] The first bottom plate 303 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 301, so that only the second bottom plate 304 moves during lifting and lowering. The width of the first bottom plate 303 can be wider than the gap in the middle of the first transmission line 1, which can increase the contact area between the material tray and the first bottom plate 303, making the material tray more stable during movement and prevent it from slipping.

[0039] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 4 can be pneumatic, electric or hydraulic. In this embodiment, a cylinder is used, and the movable end of the cylinder is connected to the bottom of the second base plate 304, and the second base plate 304 is moved up and down by the cylinder.

[0040] Several suction cups 305 are installed on the first base plate 303. When the second base plate 304 lowers the material tray, the bottom of the material tray contacts the suction cups 305, which hold the material tray in place and prevent it from moving. After the second base plate 304 lowers, the top of the second base plate 304 must be lower than the suction cups 305 to ensure contact with the material tray.

[0041] In order to better suck the material tray, suction cups 305 are provided on both sides of the second bottom plate 304, which not only ensures symmetry but also increases the suction force to suck the material tray.

[0042] In order to reduce pipelines, two air ducts 308 are set on the first bottom plate 303. The air ducts 308 enter from one side of the first bottom plate 303. Air holes are set on the upper part of the first bottom plate 303. A suction cup 305 is installed at each air hole, and the suction cup 305 is connected to the air duct 308.

[0043] Since both the lifting mechanism 4 and the suction cup 305 require air supply, an air pipe is used to connect the air source and the air duct 308 and the lifting mechanism 4. In order to prevent the air pipe from being worn, a drag chain 6 is also provided on the connecting plate 503. The air pipe is passed through the drag chain 6, and a connecting ear 307 is provided on the first bottom plate 303. The drag chain 6 is connected to the connecting ear 307, so that the air pipe moves with the sliding block.

[0044] The sliding plate 302 is connected to the first guide rail 501, and the first power controls the movement of the sliding plate 302. In order to maintain the stability of the sliding plate 302, a second guide rail 502 is set on the side of the first guide rail 501, and a slider 309 matching the second guide rail 502 is set at the bottom of the connecting plate 503.

[0045] The connecting block is provided with a sensing block 310, and the moving mechanism 5 is provided with a sensor 311, which is used to sense the sensing block 310. The sensing block 310 moves with the connecting block, and when it moves to the sensor 311, it means that it has moved into place, and the first power output stops.

[0046] Operation: When a material tray is retrieved on the first conveyor line 1, it moves to the first stopper 101, where it is blocked and cannot move further. The second and third stoppers 102 and 103 cooperate to adjust the material tray's position. The moving mechanism 5 moves the supporting mechanism 3 to the gap in the first conveyor line, positioning it below the material tray. The lifting mechanism 4 raises the second bottom plate 304, which lifts the material tray upward and off the first conveyor line 1. The moving mechanism 5 then moves the supporting mechanism 3 toward the second conveyor line 2. When the sensor 311 near the first conveyor line 1 detects a signal, the lifting mechanism 4 lowers the second bottom plate 304, causing the bottom of the material tray to contact the suction cup 305, which then holds the material tray in place. The moving mechanism 5 continues to drive the supporting mechanism 3. When the sensor 311 near the second conveyor line detects a signal, the lifting mechanism 4 raises the second bottom plate 304, and the moving mechanism 5 continues to move, moving the material tray above the second conveyor line 2. The lifting mechanism 4 lowers the second bottom plate 304, and the material tray falls onto the second transmission line 2. Then, the parts are placed on the material tray, and the second transmission line 2 drives the material tray to move.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
