The conveyor frame 2 allows for fine-tuning of its height and angle via bottom screws, providing strong support for the entire machine and ensuring its strength and stability. A movable frame 3 is mounted on the top of the conveyor frame 2, and a connecting frame 4 is slidably connected to one side of the movable frame 3. The conveyor also includes a motor 5 mounted on the outside of the fixed frame 1, which facilitates the rotation of a rotating shaft 6. The output end of the motor 5 is equipped with the rotating shaft 6, which, when rotated, can cause a limit frame 8 to flip. A position feedback plate 7 is mounted at one end of the rotating shaft 6. A position feedback board 7 is installed, which is responsible for collecting position information, such as displacement and angle, and then converting this information into electrical signals and transmitting them to the control system. This can improve the accuracy of the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 6. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A limit frame 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 6. A fixing component 9 and a limit component 10 for fixing the wooden pallet are provided on the outer side of the limit frame 8. A fixing block 11 is provided on the inner side of the fixing frame 8. An adjusting component 12 and a sliding rod 13 are provided on one side of the fixing block 11. A top fork component 14 is provided on the outer side of the adjusting component 12. A lifting component 15 is provided on the outer side of the fixing block 11. By setting the lifting component 15, Composed of components such as an electric motor, brake, guide rail frame, and guide wheels, the electric motor is the power source, the brake is used to stop the lifting and lowering movement when needed, the guide rail frame ensures the stable operation of the fixed block 11 and the adjusting assembly 12 in the vertical direction, and the guide wheels are used to reduce friction and provide smooth movement; a pushing assembly 21 is provided on the inner bottom of the fixed frame 1; the first Y-axis assembly 16 is set on the top of the moving frame 3. By setting the first Y-axis assembly 16, the composition and principle of the mechanism components such as the Z-axis assembly 17, the second Y-axis assembly 22, and the X-axis assembly 23 are the same, all using an electric motor as the power unit, and cooperating with gears, racks, and slide rails to complete the phase transition. The corresponding movement action; a Z-axis assembly 17 is provided on the inner side of the connecting frame 4, and a gripping assembly 18 is provided on the outer side of the Z-axis assembly 17. The gripping assembly 18 is composed of two symmetrically arranged pneumatic cylinders and a clamping block. When the piston rods of the two pneumatic cylinders move, they drive the clamping block to move inward, thereby completing the gripping of the wooden pallet; a connecting assembly 19 and a sensor 20 are provided on the outer side of the gripping assembly 18, and a second Y-axis assembly 22 is provided on the top of the conveyor frame 2. By providing the second Y-axis assembly 22, the obstacle avoidance function of the gripping assembly 18 is further improved, and its principle is the same as that of the first Y-axis assembly 16; an X-axis assembly 23 is provided on the outer side of the connecting frame 4.

[0025] The fixing component 9 includes a first cylinder 91 fixed to one side of the limiting frame 8. The piston rod of the first cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 92, and the bottom of the clamping plate 92 is slidably connected to the top of the limiting frame 8. By setting the fixing component 9, when the piston rod of the first cylinder 91 moves, it drives the clamping plate 92 to move towards the center, limiting the left and right sides of the wooden pallet. The limiting component 10 includes several pulleys 101 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the limiting frame 8. By setting the pulleys 101, the wooden pallet can slide up and down along the outside of the pulleys 101 when it is limited by the fixing component 9. The outer side of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to... The limiting plate 102, by setting the limiting plate 102, when the third cylinder 211 drives the push plate 212 to push the bottom wooden pallet toward the limiting frame 8, can limit the movement range of the wooden pallet and prevent the wooden pallet from moving too far and falling off the limiting frame 8; the pushing component 21 includes the third cylinder 211 set at the bottom of the inner side of the fixed frame 1, and the piston rod of the third cylinder 211 is fixedly connected to the push plate 212. By setting the pushing component 21, the adjusting component 12 carries the other wooden pallets to the highest position. After the rising action is completed, the third cylinder 211 drives the push plate 212 to push the bottom wooden pallet toward the limiting frame 8.

[0026] The adjusting assembly 12 includes a second cylinder 121 fixed to one side of the fixed block 11. The piston rod of the second cylinder 121 is fixedly connected to a moving block 122, and the inner side of the moving block 122 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rod 13. When the piston rod of the second cylinder 121 moves through the adjusting assembly 12, it drives the moving block 122 to move towards the center. At the same time, the top fork assembly 14 is inserted into the middle space of the wooden pallet to complete the limiting of the wooden pallet. The top fork assembly 14 includes two sets of fork rods 141 fixed to the inner sides of the fixed block 11 and the moving block 122 respectively. By setting the fork rods 141, it is easy to insert them into the middle space of the wooden pallet under the action of the adjusting assembly 12. One end of each set of fork rods 141 is fixedly connected to a reinforcing block 142. By setting the reinforcing block 142, the structural stability between the two fork rods 141 can be enhanced.

[0027] The connecting component 19 includes a guide seat 192 and a connecting seat 193 disposed on the outside of the connecting frame 4. A connecting rod 191 is disposed on the outside of the gripping component 18. By setting the connecting component 19, the Z-axis component 17 drives the gripping component 18 to move while driving the connecting rod 191 to slide along the inside of the guide seat 192. The guide seat 192 guides the movement path of the gripping component 18, while the connecting rod 191 can rotate slightly. The connecting seat 193 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate disposed on the gripping component 18, so that the gripping component 18 can slightly adjust its gripping posture when gripping the wooden pallet.

[0028] Working principle: In use, the adjusting component 12 first rises to the highest position under the drive of the lifting component 15. Then, a forklift is needed to transport the stacked wooden pallets to the limiting frame 8. Next, the adjusting component 12 moves down to the middle position of the second wooden pallet from the bottom. The piston rod of the second cylinder 121 retracts, pulling the moving block 122 to hold the wooden pallet, and driving the fork 141 to insert into the middle space of the wooden pallet. Then, the entire adjusting component 12, along with all the wooden pallets except the bottom one, rises to the highest position. After the rising action is completed, the third cylinder 211 drives the push plate 212 to push the bottom wooden pallet towards the limiting frame 8. Subsequently, the first cylinders 91 on both sides of the limiting frame 8 drive the clamping plates 92 to move towards the middle, and the limiting frame 8 and... The wooden pallet on top is flipped from horizontal to vertical under the drive of the rotating shaft 6, reaching the predetermined position. Then, the adjusting component 12 moves the wooden pallet above it down to the lowest position. Then, the X-axis component 23 moves the moving frame 3 left and right to the center position above the wooden pallet that has completed the flipping action. The connecting frame 4 moves along the Y-axis to the center of the wooden pallet under the drive of the first Y-axis component 16. Then, the gripping component 18 moves down along the Z-axis to the appropriate position under the drive of the Z-axis component 17. The gripping component 18 then clamps the wooden pallet, completing the gripping action. Then, the Z-axis component 17 moves the gripping component 18 back to the initial position and moves along the X-axis to the flipping machine position where the wooden pallet needs to be loaded. The XYZ axes are controlled to complete the automatic loading of the wooden pallet.
