Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tray production technology, and in particular to automatic tray receiving equipment. Background Art

[0002] In English, a tray usually refers to a flat container, typically with high rims, used to carry items, especially food and beverages in the catering service. In everyday life, a tray also refers to a plate for holding bowls and dishes, usually rectangular, and typically made of wood or metal. In some cases, a tray can also refer to a high-efficiency cleaning and dust removal device for automotive parts. This device converts ordinary compressed air into a powerful airflow for cleaning and has wide applications in the automotive industry, such as PCB cutting and drilling cleaning. In the field of industrial automation, the tray (material tray) automatic loading and unloading system is an automatic feeding system designed for machines in the IT industry and other industries that use tray feeding.

[0003] According to announcement number CN216302408U, a novel automatic tray sorting and rapid positioning tray collection mechanism is disclosed. This technology discloses "a technical solution including an empty tray storage mechanism for storing trays; a tray lifting and conveying mechanism for driving the trays to move up and down; a tray fixing forklift for fixing the trays; a tray collection mechanism for collecting trays; and a full-load discharge conveying mechanism for conveying trays, etc. This solution has the function of rapid feeding and receiving without stopping the machine, which greatly reduces the waiting time for trays, significantly improves the production efficiency of the equipment, has a clear structural logic and low failure rate, maximizes the use of space, and optimizes the size to a minimum, making it applicable to various equipment with superior technical effects."

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that during the production of most trays, the workpiece needs to be removed from one workstation or equipment and placed on another. In the process of moving the tray, the tray needs to be moved up and down repeatedly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is impossible to quickly grasp and fix the tray. If manual handling is used, it is not only inefficient but also prone to errors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic tray receiving device to improve the problems of inconvenient material loading and unloading.

[0006] The automatic tray receiving device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic tray receiving device includes a support frame. A lifting device is fixedly installed inside the support frame. A tray base is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one lower side of the support frame. A conveyor belt is inserted through one bottom side of the support frame. A receiving frame is movably installed on one top side of the conveyor belt. A transfer device is fixedly connected to one top side of the support frame. The lifting device includes two lifting seats. Rotary shafts are rotatably connected to the upper and lower inner walls of both lifting seats. Pulleys are fixedly sleeved on the outer surfaces of all four rotating shafts. Two pulleys on the same vertical horizontal line are jointly sleeved with a synchronous belt. A clamping plate is fixedly engaged on the upper outer surface of both synchronous belts. One end of one clamping plate is fixedly connected to a fixed... One end of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to a first bracket, and one end of each of the two lifting seats is connected to two first guide rods. One end of the fixed plate is slidably sleeved with the outer surface of the two first guide rods. One end of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to two second brackets. The inner walls of both sides of the first bracket are rotatably connected to a positioning plate. One end of the first bracket is fixedly equipped with a second motor. The output end of the second motor passes through the first bracket and is rotatably connected to one end of the positioning plate. The top of the positioning plate is fixedly connected to four first suction cups. One end of each of the two lifting seats is fixedly equipped with two first motors. The output ends of the two first motors are respectively fixedly connected to one end of two rotating shafts.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, one of the lifting seats in the lifting device is driven by the output rotation of one of the second motors to rotate the two rotating shafts at the upper and lower ends. The timing belt connected by the two pulleys drives the timing belt to move the first bracket up and down. The positioning plate between the first brackets is rotated 180 degrees and lowered by starting the second motor, so that the four first suction cups can pick up the tray. Then the positioning plate is rotated again to raise the tray to the bottom of the transfer device, thus facilitating the loading of the tray.

[0009] Optionally, the transfer device includes an electric slide rail, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the support frame. An electric slider is slidably fitted onto the outer surface of the electric slide rail. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the electric slider. A support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate. Two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the support plate. A second guide rod is inserted through the outer surface of each of the two fixing blocks. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two second guide rods. A second cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the support plate. The lifting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder. Four second suction cups are fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting plate and the second washing plate move to the top of the tray, the lifting plate is moved up and down by the second cylinder. The second guide rod plays a role in stabilizing the up and down movement of the lifting plate. As the lifting plate descends, it picks up the tray under the suction of the four second suction cups at the bottom. The tray is then lifted up by the second cylinder, thereby achieving the purpose of feeding.

[0011] Optionally, two sliding pins are interspersed on the outer surfaces of the two second brackets. One end of each of the two sliding pins on the same horizontal side is fixedly connected to a clamping plate. One end of each of the two second brackets is fixedly provided with a first cylinder. The output ends of the two first cylinders pass through the two second brackets and are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two clamping plates.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the tray of the transfer device moves synchronously and oppositely to the two clamping plates through the output of the two first cylinders, thereby facilitating the support and clamping of the tray.

[0013] Optionally, the two lifting seats are mirror images of each other and are located in the middle of the support frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the purpose of the two lifting seats that are distributed in a mirror image is to facilitate the lifting and transporting of the tray between two points through the two lifting seats of equal height.

[0015] Optionally, the first bracket and the two second brackets are at the same height.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the purpose of the first and second supports with the same height is to facilitate the transfer device to more accurately pick up the tray, so that the height of the tray is limited to a specified range.

[0017] Optionally, the four first suction cups and the four second suction cups are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the four first and second suction cups arranged in a rectangular array will position and pick up the tray at fixed points, making it convenient to pick up and move the tray.

[0019] Optionally, the center point of one end of the transfer device and the center point of the positioning plate are on the same vertical horizontal line.

[0020] The purpose of adopting the above technical solution is to facilitate the transfer device to accurately pick up the tray by descending and using four second suction cups at one end.

[0021] Optionally, the two second supports and clamping plates are mirror images of each other, and the two clamping plates are both L-shaped.

[0022] The purpose of adopting the above technical solution is to facilitate the clamping and fixing of the tray between the second brackets by the two first cylinders, so as to facilitate the unloading movement.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. This utility model, by setting up a lifting device, enables the tray to move up and down quickly and effectively, realizing the automatic placement and retrieval of materials, reducing the need for manual operation and improving production efficiency.

[0025] 2. By setting up a transfer device, this utility model facilitates the handling and movement of the tray, reduces the labor demand and intensity of manual handling of the tray, lowers production costs, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0031] Example

[0032] The automatic tray receiving device, as shown in Figure 1, includes a support frame 1, which is rectangular in shape. A lifting device 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame 1. A tray base 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the support frame 1. The bottom end of the tray base 2 is level with the bottom end of the support frame 1. A conveyor belt 4 is inserted through the other side of the top end of the support frame 1. A receiving frame 3 is movably installed on one side of the top end of the conveyor belt 4. A transfer device 6 is slidably installed on one side of the top end of the support frame 1. The center point of one end of the transfer device 6 is on the same vertical horizontal line as the center point of one end of the lifting device 5, providing a positioning for the transfer device 6. The tray base 2 and the receiving frame 3 located on both sides of the lifting device 5 provide feasibility for the transfer of the transfer device 6.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 The lifting device 5 includes two lifting seats 51, which are arranged in a mirror image. A first motor 511 is fixedly installed at the lower part of one end of each of the two lifting seats 51. A rotating shaft 52 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the upper and lower ends of each of the two lifting seats 51. A pulley 53 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the middle part of each of the four rotating shafts 52. A synchronous belt 54 is sleeved on each of the two pulleys 53 on the same vertical horizontal side. The output ends of the two first motors 511 pass through the two lifting seats 51 respectively and are rotatably connected to one end of the two rotating shafts 52 at the lower part. A clamping plate 55 is fixedly clamped on the outer surface of each of the two synchronous belts 54. By starting the two first motors 511, the two clamping plates 55 can be moved up and down by the two synchronous belts 54 respectively.

[0034] Reference Figure 2Two clamping plates 55 have a fixing plate 56 and a first bracket 61 welded to one end respectively. Two first guide rods 57 are inserted through one end of each of the two lifting seats 51. One end of the fixing plate 56 and the lifting seat 51 are slidably sleeved with the two first guide rods 57 on the same horizontal side, providing stability and reliability for the movement of the fixing plate 56 and the first bracket 61. One end of the fixing plate 56 is fixedly connected to two second brackets 58 by bolts. One end of each of the two second brackets 58 is fixedly mounted with a first cylinder 50. Two sliding pins 60 are inserted through the outer surface of each of the two second brackets 58. The two sliding pins 60 ensure that the clamping plate 59 will not tilt. One end of each of the two sliding pins 60 on the same horizontal side is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 59. The output ends of the two first cylinders 50 are... The two second brackets 58 are fixedly connected to one end of the clamping plate 59. The two clamping plates 59, which are in the shape of an "L", are mirror images of the second brackets 58. The two clamping plates 59 can be synchronously clamped by the output of the two first cylinders 50 to receive the tray. The inner walls of the two sides of the first bracket 61 are connected to the positioning plate 62 by two bearings. The first bracket 61 is fixedly mounted with a second motor 63 at one end. The output end of the second motor 63 is fixedly connected to one of the bearings. The top of the positioning plate 62 is fixedly connected with four first suction cups 64 arranged in a rectangular array. The positioning plate 62 can be flipped by the output of the second motor 63. The fixing plate 56 and the first bracket 61 respectively play the role of loading and unloading the tray.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The transfer device 6 includes an electric slide rail 65 and an electric slider 66. The top of the electric slider 66 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 67 by bolts. The top of the connecting plate 67 is fixedly welded to a support plate 68. One end of the support plate 68 extends toward the positioning plate 62. Two fixing blocks 69 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the support plate 68. Two second guide rods 70 are interlaced on the outer surfaces of the two fixing blocks 69. The bottom ends of the two second guide rods 70 are fixedly welded to a lifting plate 71. The bottom end of the lifting plate 71 is fixedly connected to four second suction cups 73 arranged in a rectangular array. A second cylinder 72 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the support plate 68. The second cylinder 72 is located between the two fixing blocks 69. The output end of the second cylinder 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 71. The lifting plate 71 can be moved to the top of the positioning plate 62 by the movement of the electric slide rail 65 and the electric slider 66. Under the output of the second cylinder 72, the lifting plate 71 is lowered to the top of the tray, and the tray is attracted by the four second suction cups 73.

[0036] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to load the tray, one of the lifting seats 51 in the lifting device 5 drives the rotation of two rotating shafts 52 at the upper and lower ends through the output rotation of one of the first motors 511. The timing belt 54 connected by two pulleys 53 drives the clamping plate 55, which in turn drives the first bracket 61 to move up and down. The moving first bracket 61 moves up and down stably with the assistance of two first guide rods 57. The positioning plate 62 between the first brackets 61 is rotated 180 degrees and lowered by starting the second motor 63, so that the four first suction cups 64 adsorb the tray. Then the positioning plate 62 is rotated again to lower the tray. The tray rises to the bottom of the transfer device 6. The electric slider 66 in the transfer device 6 moves the connecting plate 67 and the support plate 68 at the top horizontally through the electric slide rail 65. The moving support plate 68 drives the lifting plate 71 and the second suction cup 73 to move laterally. When the lifting plate 71 and the second suction cup 73 move to the top of the tray, the lifting plate 71 is moved up and down by the second cylinder 72. The second guide rod 70 plays a role in stabilizing the up and down movement of the lifting plate 71. The lifting plate 71 descends and picks up the tray under the suction of the four second suction cups 73 at the bottom. After being picked up, the tray rises through the second cylinder 72, thereby achieving the purpose of loading.

[0037] When unloading is required, the transfer device 6 moves horizontally to the top of another lifting seat 51, and the lifting plate 71 is lowered again. The tray is placed between the two second brackets 58 at one end of the fixed plate 56 connected to one end of the other lifting seat 51 by the four second suction cups 73. The two first cylinders 50 are activated, and the output ends of the two first cylinders 50 push out the clamping plate 59 simultaneously, thereby clamping and fixing the tray. Then, the two second brackets 58 are lowered to lower the tray into the receiving frame 3. The output ends of the two first cylinders 50 are retracted to lower the tray into the receiving frame 3. Then, the tray is removed from the receiving frame 3 by the conveyor belt 4, thereby achieving the purpose of unloading.

[0038] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
