Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a palletizing machine, specifically a warehousing and logistics palletizing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Warehousing and logistics encompasses multiple aspects, including warehouse management, goods receiving and shipping, transportation management, distribution management, and data processing. Specifically: warehouse management involves the effective planning and layout of warehouses, the rational allocation of storage space, the control of inventory levels, and ensuring the safety and integrity of goods; while data processing utilizes information systems and technologies to monitor the entire logistics process in real time, enabling information sharing and decision support.
[0003] For some regularly shaped rectangular boxes, improper stacking will result in a significant waste of warehouse space and a cluttered environment. A common method for storing these boxes is palletizing; this involves stacking the boxes in an orderly and layered manner into larger rectangular blocks, effectively utilizing both horizontal and vertical space. Palletizing is often done manually.
[0004] While manual palletizing can effectively control palletizing quality, it inevitably involves working at heights as the height of the pallet increases. As the height of the pallet increases, its stability decreases. When workers walk on unstable pallets, the pallet can easily collapse, causing dangerous accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0047] Please see Figures 1-6 As an embodiment of the present utility model, the warehouse logistics palletizing machine includes a longitudinal support 1 and a transverse support 2 that is slidably fitted on the longitudinal support 1.
[0048] A first mounting plate 3 is slidably fitted onto the transverse support 2; a second mounting plate 10 and a third mounting plate 13 are provided on the first mounting plate 3;
[0049] The third mounting plate 13 is provided with a clamping mechanism, which includes symmetrically arranged clamping plates 18; the two clamping plates 18 can move closer or further apart to clamp or release goods.
[0050] A lifting mechanism is provided between the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 10. The lifting mechanism drives the second mounting plate 10 to move closer to or away from the first mounting plate 3, so as to increase or decrease the vertical height of the clamping plate 18.
[0051] The longitudinal support 1 is provided with a moving mechanism, which changes the horizontal position of the first mounting plate 3 to change the position of the clamping plate 18.
[0052] After the moving mechanism moves the clamping plate 18 to the feeding area, the lifting mechanism lowers the clamping plate 18 to approach the goods. After the clamping plate 18 is aligned with the goods, the clamping plates 18 move closer to each other to clamp the goods. Then, the moving mechanism moves the goods to the stacking area. During the movement, the lifting mechanism raises the clamping plate 18 to change the vertical height of the goods.
[0053] In this embodiment, rectangular boxes with relatively regular shapes are mostly used to hold goods in logistics warehousing; reasonable stacking of boxes helps to make reasonable use of logistics warehouse space.
[0054] The longitudinal support 1 is installed on the top of the logistics warehouse; and the longitudinal support 1 is equipped with a position sensor that establishes a communication connection with the control center; after the box is placed in the feeding area, the first mounting plate 3 is moved in the logistics warehouse by the moving mechanism, so as to drive the clamping mechanism to move synchronously; when the clamping mechanism moves to the top of the box, the second mounting plate 10 is moved away from the first mounting plate 3 by the lifting mechanism, so as to drive the clamping mechanism to move closer to the box.
[0055] When the clamping mechanism is aligned with the box, the two clamping plates 18 will move closer to each other to clamp the box; and after clamping, the box will be lifted by the lifting mechanism and moved by the moving mechanism, thereby moving the box towards the stacking area.
[0056] After the container arrives at the stacking area, the lifting mechanism and the clamping mechanism work together to smoothly release the container in the stacking area. After the space of one container height in the stacking area is filled with containers, the control system will control the stroke of the lifting mechanism to move the second mounting plate 10 when releasing subsequent containers, so as to place the subsequent containers above the first layer.
[0057] Through the coordinated operation of the moving mechanism, lifting mechanism and clamping mechanism, the boxes can be stacked in an orderly and reasonable manner, which helps to make reasonable use of the space in the logistics warehouse. Multiple sets of palletizers are set up in a logistics warehouse, which can effectively improve the palletizing efficiency. The palletizing process is relatively safe and helps to ensure safe production.
[0058] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping motor 1301 mounted on the third mounting plate 13; a rotating shaft 14 is mounted on the output end of the clamping motor 1301; both ends of the rotating shaft 14 are provided with external threaded grooves 1401; an internal threaded slider 15 is threadedly connected to the external threaded groove 1401; a connecting rod 1501 is mounted on the internal threaded slider 15; a guide rod 16 is mounted on the connecting rod 1501 and slidably engages with the third mounting plate 13; a push plate 17 connected to the clamping plate 18 is mounted on the guide rod 16.
[0059] In this embodiment, when the clamping plate 18 is aligned with the housing, the control system will start the clamping motor 1301 to drive the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The external thread grooves 1401 at both ends of the rotating shaft 14 have opposite thread directions. Through the threaded engagement with the internal thread slider 15, the internal thread slider 15 is driven to move closer to each other, thereby driving the connecting rod 1501 to move closer to each other, thereby driving the push plate 17 to move closer to each other through the guide rod 16, thereby driving the clamping plate 18 to move closer to each other to clamp the housing.
[0060] Once the clamping plate 18 has stably clamped the box, the control system will stop the clamping motor 1301 from rotating, thereby stopping the rotating shaft 14 from rotating. Through the threaded engagement between the external threaded groove 1401 and the internal threaded slider 15, the position of the internal threaded slider 15 remains unchanged, thus keeping the position of the clamping plate 18 unchanged. This ensures that the clamping plate 18 will not release its grip on the box during the transfer process, preventing the box from falling off and effectively protecting the safety of the goods inside the box.
[0061] When the box arrives at the stacking area, the control system will control the clamping motor 1301 to reverse, thereby driving the rotating shaft 14 to reverse. Through the threaded engagement of the external thread groove 1401 and the internal thread slider 15, the internal thread slider 15 will move away from each other, thereby driving the push plate 17 to move away from each other, and thus driving the clamping plate 18 to move away from each other, so as to smoothly release the box.
[0062] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a telescopic sleeve 1801 is installed on the clamping plate 18; a telescopic column 1701 is installed on the push plate 17 and slides into the telescopic sleeve 1801; a spring 19 is provided inside the telescopic sleeve 1801; the two ends of the spring 19 respectively abut against the telescopic column 1701 and the clamping plate 18.
[0063] In this embodiment, as the push plates 17 move closer together, they will cause the clamping plates 18 to move closer together. When the clamping plates 18 come into contact with the box, the distance between the clamping plates 18 will not change. Then the push plates 17 will continue to move, thereby causing the telescopic column 1701 to slide inward in the telescopic sleeve 1801, thereby compressing the spring 19. As the spring 19 is continuously compressed, its elastic force increases continuously. The elastic force of the spring 19 pushes the clamping plates 18, so that the clamping plates 18 and the box come into closer contact. This can effectively prevent the box from deforming due to excessive clamping force during the clamping process, and can also prevent the box from falling during the transfer of the box.
[0064] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lifting mechanism includes multiple sets of first inclined supports 6 and second inclined supports 7; the first inclined supports 6 and second inclined supports 7 are rotatably mounted on a connecting shaft 8; one of the second inclined supports 7 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting plate 3, and the other second inclined support 7 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate 10; both the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 10 are slidably fitted with fitting blocks 601; the fitting blocks 601 are hinged to the first inclined supports 6; a cylinder 9 is rotatably mounted on one of the connecting shafts 8; a push rod 901 is slidably fitted on the cylinder 9; the push rod 901 is rotatably connected to the other connecting shaft 8.
[0065] In this embodiment, the first diagonal brace 6, the second diagonal brace 7, and the connecting shaft 8 form a "scissor structure".
[0066] When the clamping mechanism reaches directly above the feeding area box, the control system will activate the cylinder 9; thereby driving the push rod 901 to extend outward in the cylinder 9, thereby driving the first inclined support 6 and the second inclined support 7 to rotate on the connecting shaft 8. During this process, the push rod 901 and the connecting shaft 8, as well as the cylinder 9 and the connecting shaft 8, will rotate and cooperate; the first inclined support 6 and the second inclined support 7 will rotate and move closer, thereby driving the second mounting plate 10 away from the first mounting plate 3; thereby driving the clamping mechanism to move closer to the box.
[0067] By coordinating the lifting and clamping mechanisms, the height of the boxes can be effectively controlled, which helps to make reasonable use of vertical space and avoids the collapse of the stack due to messy stacking.
[0068] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism includes a horizontal motor 4 mounted on the first mounting plate 3, and a horizontal gear 401 is mounted on the output end of the horizontal motor 4; a horizontal toothed groove 201 is provided on the horizontal bracket 2; the horizontal toothed groove 201 meshes with the horizontal gear 401.
[0069] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism also includes a longitudinal motor 5 mounted on the transverse support 2; a longitudinal gear 501 is mounted on the output end of the longitudinal motor 5; and a longitudinal tooth groove 101 that meshes with the longitudinal gear 501 is provided on the longitudinal support 1.
[0070] In this embodiment, the control system controls the horizontal motor 4 to operate; the horizontal motor 4 drives the horizontal gear 401 to rotate, and through mutual meshing with the horizontal tooth groove 201, it drives the horizontal gear 401 to move along the length direction of the horizontal bracket 2, thereby driving the first mounting plate 3 to move synchronously, thereby driving the clamping mechanism to move laterally.
[0071] The control system controls the longitudinal motor 5 to operate, which drives the longitudinal gear 501 to rotate. Through the meshing with the longitudinal tooth groove 101, the longitudinal gear 501 moves along the length of the longitudinal support 1, thereby driving the transverse support 2 to move synchronously, thus driving the clamping mechanism to move longitudinally.
[0072] By using a moving mechanism to drive the clamping mechanism to move laterally and longitudinally within the logistics warehouse, the container can be moved more easily from the feeding area to the stacking area, thus making more rational use of the limited space within the logistics warehouse.
[0073] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a fixing ring 1001 is installed on the second mounting plate 10; a rotating ring 12 rotatably connected to the fixing ring 1001 is installed on the third mounting plate 13; a second gear 1201 is installed on the rotating ring 12; a rotating motor 11 is installed on the second mounting plate 10; and a first gear 1101 meshing with the second gear 1201 is installed on the output end of the rotating motor 11.
[0074] In this embodiment, after one box is placed horizontally in the stacking area, the clamping mechanism clamps the next box and moves it towards the stacking area via a moving mechanism. During the movement, the control mechanism controls the rotating motor 11 to rotate the first gear 1101, which in turn rotates the second gear 1201 through meshing. This causes the rotating ring 12 to rotate on the fixed ring 1001, which in turn rotates the third mounting plate 13, thereby rotating the clamping mechanism and causing the box to rotate 90°. This crisscrossing stacking method effectively increases the stability of the stacks and prevents them from tipping over.
[0075] As a further improvement of this utility model, the clamping plate 18 is provided with multiple sets of grooves 1802.
[0076] In this embodiment, the groove 1802 can effectively increase the friction coefficient of the clamping plate 18, thereby preventing the box from separating from the clamping plate 18 during movement, so as to further protect the goods.
[0077] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
