Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift handling technology, specifically to loading and unloading equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The existing production process for the upper and lower shells involves two important steps: gluing and tightening. Both gluing and tightening are completed by conventional equipment. However, although the equipment automatically loads the semi-finished materials of the upper and lower shells and the finished materials after gluing and tightening, manual loading and unloading of the material pallets is still required. Manual loading and unloading cannot meet the production needs of the equipment, and the pallets containing finished products are relatively heavy, resulting in low efficiency and safety hazards during the handling process. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a loading and unloading device, which solves the problems of low efficiency and safety hazards in the existing manual loading and unloading process of upper and lower shell production.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a loading and unloading device, including a lifting fork, wherein a semi-finished material area and a finished material area are respectively provided on both sides of the lifting fork;

[0005] The semi-finished material area is equipped with a semi-finished material cart, and the semi-finished material cart is equipped with several semi-finished material trays, and several semi-finished materials are placed on each of the several semi-finished material trays.

[0006] The finished product material area is equipped with a finished product material cart, and the finished product material cart is equipped with several finished product material trays, and several finished product materials are placed on each of the several finished product material trays.

[0007] The lifting fork includes a base, a gantry frame on the base, a support plate on the gantry frame, and lifting mechanisms on both sides of the lifting fork on the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a servo motor fixedly mounted on the bearing plate, a lead screw connected to the drive end of the servo motor, the lower end of the lead screw being rotatably mounted on the base, a support plate being fitted on the lead screw, the two sides of the support plate sliding on the gantry frame, and a pair of electric telescopic forks being provided on the support plate.

[0009] Beneficial effects

[0010] This utility model provides a loading and unloading device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] Finished material (upper shell) is fed into the fixed position of the lifting fork by the semi-finished material cart (at this time, the fork insert is at the lowest position) and waits for the next station's material-retrieving mechanism to remove the top layer of material (after the top layer of material is removed and used up, the empty pallet is returned to its original position by the material-retrieving mechanism, at which point the fork rises one layer, and the material-retrieving mechanism repeats the first step to remove the material of the next layer); after the finished product is processed, it is transferred to the front of the finished product material cart via the conveyor line and slides into the finished product material cart via the inclined roller conveyor (the finished product pallet enters the material cart from the bottom layer: the fork lifts the finished product material cart to the bottom layer level with the conveyor line, the finished product pallet slides into the bottom layer of the material cart, and then the fork descends one layer, waiting for the next finished product material pallet to enter, realizing fully automatic loading and unloading; improving production efficiency and production safety.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the present invention.

[0013] In the diagram: 1. Lifting fork; 2. Semi-finished material cart; 3. Finished material cart; 4. Semi-finished material area; 5. Finished material area; 6. Gantry frame; 7. Base; 8. Load-bearing plate; 9. Servo motor; 10. Lead screw; 11. Support plate; 12. Electric telescopic fork. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a loading and unloading device, including a lifting fork 1, wherein a semi-finished material area 4 and a finished material area 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the lifting fork 1;

[0016] The semi-finished material area 4 is equipped with a semi-finished material cart 2, which is equipped with several semi-finished material trays, and several semi-finished materials are placed on each of the semi-finished material trays.

[0017] The finished product material area 5 is equipped with a finished product material cart 3, and the finished product material cart 3 is equipped with several finished product material trays, and several finished products are placed on each of the several finished product material trays.

[0018] The lifting fork 1 includes a base 7, a gantry frame 6 on the base 7, a support plate 8 on the gantry frame 6, and lifting mechanisms on the support plate 8 located on both sides of the lifting fork 1.

[0019] By placing the semi-finished material area 4 and the finished material area 5 on both sides of the same lifting fork 1, the space occupied by the equipment can be effectively saved, and the loading and unloading are in the same area, which is convenient for transportation.

[0020] Semi-finished material pallets and finished material pallets are both types of material pallets. The use of pallets in material handling is a conventional technical means, and they can be handled by electric telescopic forks.

[0021] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a servo motor 9 fixedly mounted on the bearing plate 8, a lead screw 10 connected to the drive end of the servo motor 9, the lower end of the lead screw 10 being rotatably mounted on the base 7, a support plate 11 being fitted on the lead screw 10, the two sides of the support plate 11 sliding on the gantry frame 6, and a pair of electric telescopic forks 12 being provided on the support plate 11.

[0022] The application of electric telescopic forks 12 is a common technology in the field of forklifts and other handling equipment. Its structure and usage are conventional technologies. The telescopic and handling performance of the forks in this application are existing technical means, so there is no need to describe the structure and usage of the electric telescopic forks 12 in detail.

[0023] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0024] Example: In use, the finished material (upper shell) is fed into the semi-finished material area 4 of the lifting fork 1 by the semi-finished material cart 2. At this time, the electric telescopic fork 12 is at the lowest position waiting for the next station's material picking mechanism to remove the top layer material (after the top layer material is removed and used up, the empty pallet is returned to its original position by the material picking mechanism. At this time, the electric telescopic fork 12 rises one layer, and the material picking mechanism repeats the first step to remove the material of the next layer). After the finished product is processed, it is transferred to the finished product cart 3 by the conveyor line and slides into the finished product cart by the inclined roller conveyor (the finished product pallet enters the material cart from the bottom layer: the electric telescopic fork 12 lifts the finished product cart to the bottom layer and is level with the conveyor line. The finished product pallet slides into the bottom layer of the material cart. Then the electric telescopic fork 12 descends one layer and waits for the next finished product pallet to enter, realizing fully automatic loading and unloading; improving production efficiency and production safety.
