[0005] Preferably, the receiving platform includes a frame, a receiving plate, and a dropping plate. There are two frames, and the opposite sides of the two frames are fixedly connected to the frame body. The two frames are also fixedly connected to the receiving plate. The dropping plate is movably connected inside the two frames. Several movable rollers are rotatably connected inside the receiving plate and the dropping plate. The bottom of the two frames is connected to a funnel.

[0006] Preferably, the two frames and the two blanking plates are respectively hinged together by hinges, and the hinges are provided with torsion springs.

[0007] Preferably, the mobile positioning mechanism includes a mobile slide and a funnel frame. Two servo motors are fixedly connected to one side of the mobile slide.

Each of the two nuts is located on the side of the mobile slide away from the servo motors and is fixedly connected to a clamping plate that is slidably connected to the mobile slide.

[0008] Preferably, the number of movable slides is four, namely two transverse slides and two longitudinal slides. The bottom of the two lifting belts is fixedly connected to the two longitudinal slides. The two longitudinal slides are slidably connected to the two transverse slides.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a funnel-type palletizing device for assembly lines, which has the following advantages:

[0013] This production line uses a funnel-type palletizing device. In operation, the truck is first driven into the palletizing platform area. A hoist is installed, and the production line feeds the goods into the hoist, which lifts the goods. A cable car picks up the goods, carries them to the receiving plate, and drops them. Inside the receiving plate, a rotating roller pushes the goods to the discharge plate. The weight of the goods presses the discharge plate down, causing it to flip downwards. At this time, a torsion spring stores energy. When the goods fall into the funnel, the torsion spring releases energy, and the discharge plate flips upwards, returning to a parallel state with the receiving plate, ready to receive goods again. A servo motor drives a screw to rotate, and a nut moves horizontally outside the screw, which in turn moves a clamping plate horizontally. Through the sliding connection between the transverse and longitudinal slides and the funnel frame, the clamping plate allows for automatic horizontal and longitudinal movement of the funnel outlet. Goods are stacked horizontally. Through the coordination of a funnel and a moving positioning mechanism, the stacking position can be quickly positioned during high-speed material feeding, ensuring smooth, efficient, and rapid stacking. After the first layer of goods is stacked, the brake motor activates, driving the drive wheel via the transmission shaft. This, in turn, drives the driven wheel via the transmission belt. The two drive wheels and two driven wheels rotate synchronously, causing the lifting belt to lift the goods. The lifting belt then raises the positioning mechanism, allowing the second layer of stacking to begin, and so on. This device achieves automatic stacking, solving the problem of low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high labor costs associated with manual stacking in existing technologies.

A three-phase asynchronous motor and a frequency converter are connected to the outside of the movable rollers. The frequency converter controls the forward and reverse rotation of the movable rollers, causing the goods to fall crosswise onto the two dropping plates 23 to avoid congestion. The bottoms of both frames 21 are connected to the funnel 4. A moving positioning mechanism 3 located below the receiving platform 2 is fixedly connected inside the frame 1. Both the receiving platform 2 and the moving positioning mechanism 3 are fixedly connected to the funnel 4. The moving positioning mechanism 3 includes a moving slide 31 and a funnel frame 32. Two servo motors 311 are fixedly connected to one side of the moving slide 31. The output ends of the two servo motors 311... Each of the four slideways 311 is fixedly connected with a screw 312. The ends of the two screws 312 furthest from the servo motor 311 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the sliding slideway 31.

[0021] In summary, this production line uses a funnel-type palletizing device. During operation, the truck is first driven into the palletizing platform area. A hoist is installed, and the production line feeds the goods into the hoist, which lifts the goods. A cable car picks up the goods, bringing them to the receiving plate 22 and dropping them. The internal rollers of the receiving plate 22 rotate, sending the goods to the dropping plate 23. The weight of the goods presses down the dropping plate 23, causing it to flip downwards. At this time, a torsion spring stores energy. When the goods fall into the funnel 4, the torsion spring releases energy, and the dropping plate 23 flips upwards, returning to a parallel state with the receiving plate 22, ready to receive goods again. A servo motor 311 drives the screw 312 to rotate, and the nut 313 moves horizontally outside the screw 312, which in turn drives the clamping plate 314 to move horizontally. Through the sliding connection between the transverse and longitudinal slides and the funnel frame 32, the clamping plate 314 allows the funnel 4 to... The outlet achieves automatic longitudinal and transverse movement, enabling horizontal stacking of goods. Through the coordination between the funnel 4 and the moving positioning mechanism 3, the stacking position can be quickly positioned during high-speed material feeding, ensuring smooth, efficient, and rapid stacking. After the first layer of goods is stacked, the brake motor 5 operates, driving the drive wheel 7 to rotate via the transmission shaft 6, which in turn drives the driven wheel 9 to rotate via the transmission belt 8. At this time, the two drive wheels 7 and two driven wheels 9 rotate synchronously, driving the lifting belt 10 to roll up. The lifting belt 10 then lifts the positioning mechanism 3, allowing the second layer of stacking to begin, and so on. This device achieves automatic stacking, solving the problem of low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high labor costs associated with manual stacking in existing technologies.
