[0002] Currently, there are two main methods for shipping bagged materials: direct loading and palletizing. Direct loading typically involves using a belt conveyor to transport the bagged materials into the truck, where they are then stacked manually. However, this process presents numerous safety hazards, such as high labor intensity, fatigue, slow loading speed, and a high risk of errors. These problems can lead to damage to goods or personal injury, and may also disrupt normal business operations. Palletizing, on the other hand, is usually done using robots, which are inefficient and have limited functionality.

[0030] like Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a robotic shipping device that can simultaneously perform loading and palletizing operations, including: a conveying component 1 and a loading component 2; the conveying component 1 includes a pallet conveyor 10 for conveying pallets, and a pallet splitter 11 at the left end of the pallet conveyor 10 for splitting the pallets; multiple pallet lifters 12 are spaced apart on the pallet conveyor 10 to lift the pallets and avoid interference with palletizing; a wrapping film machine 13 is provided at the right end of the pallet conveyor 10 to fix the palletized material and prevent it from slipping during transportation; the loading component 2 is located on one side of the pallet conveyor 10 and parallel to the pallet conveyor 10, and is used to grab materials for loading or palletizing operations. The loading component 2 and the pallet conveyor 10 can be arranged in a 4-meter-wide lane without affecting other equipment outside the lane, occupying a small area and achieving high space utilization.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The pallet conveyor 10 and each pallet lift 12 are topped with roller structures for material conveying, adaptable to various pallet designs. However, modifications can be made based on the specific pallet structure, such as conveyor belt structures, and are not limited to roller structures. Furthermore, the pallet conveyor 10 and each pallet lift 12 in their initial state have the same height and width, allowing for arbitrary splicing and combination to meet different application needs.

[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The pallet conveyor 10 is equipped with multiple sensors to detect the presence of pallets in each section. This design requires sensors to check whether a pallet is present in the next section during each stage of transport, preventing collisions between two pallets that could affect the transport process (the sensors are existing technology and are not shown in the figure).

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The pallet conveyor 10 is equipped with a crash barrier 101 on its right end to prevent pallets from falling due to conveying malfunctions. Once a pallet reaches the designated position, a sensor detects this and sends a signal to an indicator light to show that the pallet is waiting for a forklift to pick it up. After the forklift has picked up the pallet, the indicator light resets, awaiting the arrival of subsequent pallets to the forklift position.

[0034] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3The pallet splitting machine 11 includes an integral support 110, which is welded from high-quality steel. A lifting assembly 111 is located at the top of the integral support 110, and a clamping assembly 112 is connected to the lower end of the lifting assembly 111. The clamping assembly 112 clamps the pallet using a cylinder, and the lifting assembly 111 then separates the bottom pallet from the top pallet to achieve splitting. A second conveying unit 113 is located at the inner bottom of the integral support 110. The second conveying unit 113 uses the same chain-driven roller structure as the pallet conveyor 10 to convey the pallets, ensuring accurate relative positioning of the pallets during the overall conveying process. Adjustable feet are installed at the lower end of the integral support 110 for height adjustment, ensuring that the second conveying unit 113 is at the same height as the roller structure of the pallet conveyor 10, guaranteeing stable pallet conveying.

[0035] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 The lifting assembly 111 is a chain-driven lifting structure used to lift the gripping assembly 112 together with the upper tray. The lifting assembly 111 can also adopt other structures, such as electric push rods, hydraulic cylinders, etc., to drive the gripping assembly 112 to lift.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 The clamping assembly 112 includes a mounting frame, with cylinders connected to both sides of the mounting frame, and a clamping plate connected to the output end of the cylinder.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 The pallet lift 12 includes a frame 120, and a lifting scissor lift assembly 121 is provided at the bottom of the frame 120, which can achieve a sufficient height of lifting within the effective space, while avoiding interference with the robot palletizing. A pallet positioning assembly 122 is provided at the bottom of the frame 120, next to the lifting scissor lift assembly 121. The pallet positioning assembly 122 is composed of a cylinder and a linkage mechanism, used to stop the pallets transported from the previous section.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 and Figure 5 The stretch wrapping machine 13 adopts a cantilever rotary structure to prevent the full load of material from falling off during rotation.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 and Figure 5 The loading assembly 2 includes a robot rail 20, on which multiple palletizing and loading robots 21 are mounted for translational movement. The palletizing and loading robots adopt an existing three-grip structure to improve palletizing and loading efficiency.

[0040] The specific usage process of this utility model is as follows: A forklift is used to fork the stacked pallets onto the pallet splitter 11. The conveyor line on the pallet splitter 11 transports the pallets forward until they reach the end of the pallet splitter. The pallet splitter 11 moves up and down to the center position of the second-to-last pallet layer, where the pallet is held by the clamping component 112. Then, the lifting component 111 raises all pallets except the bottom pallet to a certain height. The bottom pallet is then transported to the next section via the conveyor line.

[0041] The pallet enters the pallet conveyor 10 via the pallet splitter 11. The pallet conveyor 10 determines whether a pallet exists in the next section. If it exists, the pallet stops on the pallet conveyor 10 via a sensor; otherwise, the conveying operation begins.

[0042] After the pallet is transported to the pallet lift 12, the sensor determines whether the pallet exists, then the pallet is stopped by the pallet positioning component 122, and the pallet is lifted by the lifting scissor fork component 121 to the designated height. After the lifting is completed, a palletizing ready signal is sent to the palletizing and loading robot 2, and the robot begins to grab and palletize the materials.

[0043] Once the robot palletizing is complete, the pallet lift 12 begins to descend. When it reaches a fixed position, sensors determine if there is material in the next section. If not, the conveyor is activated to transport the material forward, continuing through the next section until it reaches the stretch film machine 13. The stretch film machine 13 performs the stretch film operation. After completing the stretch film operation, sensors determine if there is a pallet in the next section to decide whether to continue transporting the material forward.

[0044] The pallet is transported to the end of the pallet conveyor 10 and stopped by the anti-collision baffle 101. After the pallet reaches the designated position, the sensor determines this and sends a signal to the indicator light to indicate that the pallet is waiting for the forklift to pick it up. Once the forklift has picked up the pallet, the indicator light resets and waits for the next pallet to be transported to the forklift position.

[0045] In summary, this utility model adopts a modular design, modularly assembling equipment such as the pallet splitting machine 11, pallet conveyor 10, pallet lifting machine 12, stretch wrapping machine 13, and loading assembly 2, which can be arbitrarily combined. It utilizes spare time for palletizing without affecting robot loading, thus improving production efficiency. It achieves fully automated, efficient, and safe loading and palletizing, and the device has a small footprint, low site requirements, strong adaptability, and greatly saves labor costs, resulting in significant economic benefits.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
