[0023] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses a container alignment and loading device, including a handling mechanism 1, an alignment mechanism 2, a stacking adjustment mechanism 3, and a loading mechanism 4.

[0024] The handling mechanism 1 uses a multi-axis robot. The handling mechanism 1 is used to transport the stack of goods 5 coming off the production line to the stacking adjustment mechanism 3. The stacking adjustment mechanism 3 is used to adjust the goods 5 to a stacking shape that is compatible with the first layer of the shelf.

[0026] The lidar is used to scan the container position, and the adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the rotation and translation of the mounting plate 29 relative to the base plate 21. The stacking adjustment mechanism 3 and the loading mechanism 4 are both mounted on the mounting plate 29.

[0027] Two sets of left-right translation tracks 22 are provided at intervals and are fixedly connected to the base plate 21. Rotary seats 25 are slidably connected to the two sets of left-right translation tracks 22. The front and middle positions of the front-back translation tracks 23 are rotatably connected to the corresponding rotary seats 25 through rotating shafts 24. Multiple sets of moving wheels 26 are installed at intervals along the front-back direction on the front-back translation tracks 23. The moving wheels 26 are in contact with the base plate 21. The left-right pushing mechanism 27 adopts electric push rods. There are two sets of left-right pushing mechanisms 27. Both sets of left-right pushing mechanisms 27 are fixedly connected to the base plate 21. The telescopic end of the first set of left-right pushing mechanisms 27 is rotatably connected to the front rotary seat 25. The telescopic end of the second set of left-right pushing mechanisms 27 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the front-back translation tracks 23. By controlling the extension length of the telescopic ends of the two sets of left-right pushing mechanisms 27, the mounting plate 29 can be rotated or moved left-right relative to the base plate 21.

[0028] The front-to-back pushing mechanism 28 is used to push the mounting plate 29 to move back and forth along the front-to-back translation track 23. The front-to-back pushing mechanism 28 includes a translation motor 281, a reducer 282, a coupling 283, a moving shaft 284, and a moving gear 285. The translation motor 281 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 29. The output shaft of the translation motor 281 is connected to the input end of the reducer 282. The left and right output ends of the reducer 282 are respectively connected to the moving shaft 284 through the coupling 283. The outer end of each moving shaft 284 is fixedly connected to the moving gear 285. The top two sides of the front-to-back translation track 23 are respectively fixedly connected to racks extending in the front-to-back direction. The two moving gears 285 mesh with the two racks respectively. After being reduced by the reducer 282, the translation motor 281 drives the two moving gears 285 to rotate, which can make the mounting plate 29 move back and forth along the front-to-back pushing mechanism 28.

[0029] The stacking adjustment mechanism 3 includes a third conveying mechanism 31, a fourth conveying mechanism 32, a first horizontal turning mechanism 33, a flipping mechanism 34, a second horizontal turning mechanism 35, and a fifth conveying mechanism 36. The end of the third conveying mechanism 31 is connected to the starting end of the fourth conveying mechanism 32. The first horizontal turning mechanism 33, the flipping mechanism 34, and the second horizontal turning mechanism 35 are sequentially arranged between the end of the fourth conveying mechanism 32 and the starting end of the fifth conveying mechanism 36. The third conveying mechanism 31, the fourth conveying mechanism 32, and the fifth conveying mechanism 36 all adopt roller conveyors. The starting end of the fourth conveying mechanism 32 and the starting and ending ends of the fifth conveying mechanism 36 are provided with lifting conveyor belts that pass between their own rollers and whose conveying direction is perpendicular to their own conveying direction. Lifting conveyor belts are common devices in the field and are used to dock goods.

[0030] The fourth conveying mechanism 32, the first horizontal turning mechanism 33, the flipping mechanism 34, and the second horizontal turning mechanism 35 are each provided in two sets. The third conveying mechanism 31 runs bidirectionally from the middle to both ends and is connected to the starting ends of the two sets of fourth conveying mechanisms 32 respectively. The fifth conveying mechanism 36 runs bidirectionally from both ends to the middle and is connected to the two sets of second horizontal turning mechanisms 35 respectively.

[0031] The first horizontal steering mechanism 33 includes a conveying frame 331, a conveying shaft 332, a conveying motor (not shown), a steering plate 333, a steering motor 334, a lifting electric push rod 335, and a guide rod 336. Multiple conveying shafts 332 are mounted parallel to each other on the conveying frame 331 along the conveying direction. The conveying motor drives the conveying shafts 332 to rotate. The steering plate 333 is disposed in the gap between the conveying shafts 332. The steering motor 334 is disposed below the conveying shafts 332, and its output shaft drives the steering plate 333. The lifting electric push rod 335 is disposed below the steering motor 334 and fixedly connected to the conveying frame 331, and its lifting mechanism... The lifting end of the electric push rod 335 is fixedly connected to the steering motor 334; the guide rod 336 is fixedly connected to the conveying frame 331, and the steering motor 334 and the guide rod 336 are in sliding cooperation; the stack of goods transported to the stacking adjustment mechanism 3 is fixed. According to the set program, when a certain goods needs to be horizontally turned in sequence and are transported to the first horizontal turning mechanism 33, the lifting electric push rod 335 first drives the turning plate 333 to rise and lift the goods, and then the steering motor 334 drives the turning plate 333 to rotate to realize the horizontal turning of the goods. After the turning is completed, the lifting electric push rod 335 drives the turning plate 333 to fall so that the goods return to the conveying shaft 332 to continue to be transported.

[0032] The flipping mechanism 34 includes a belt conveyor 341, a flipping shaft 342, an L-shaped plate 343, and a flipping motor (not shown). The flipping shaft 342 is rotatably connected to the belt conveyor 341 and its length direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 341. The L-shaped plate 343 is fixedly connected to the flipping shaft 342 and is disposed in the belt gap of the belt conveyor 341. The flipping motor is mounted on the belt conveyor 341, and the output shaft of the flipping motor drives the flipping shaft 342. When the goods do not need to be flipped, the L-shaped plate 343... 43 rotates until the entire L-shaped plate is located below the belt of the belt conveyor 341, allowing the goods to pass through directly without being overturned; when the goods need to be overturned, part of the L-shaped plate 343 is located below the side of the belt of the belt conveyor 341 near the starting end, and the other part is upright above the middle position of the belt of the belt conveyor 341. When the goods are conveyed to contact the upright part of the L-shaped plate 343, the L-shaped plate 343 rotates so that the originally upright part is located below the side of the belt of the belt conveyor 341 near the end, thereby overturning the direction of the goods.

[0033] The second horizontal turning mechanism 35 has the same structure as the first horizontal turning mechanism 33. The first horizontal turning mechanism 33 is used to turn the goods that need to be flipped horizontally to the direction that adapts to the flipping mechanism 34 before flipping. The second horizontal turning mechanism 35 is used to turn the goods horizontally after they have been flipped by the flipping mechanism 34. The first horizontal turning mechanism 33, the flipping mechanism 34 and the second horizontal turning mechanism 35 work together to arrange the goods in a row in multiple directions to adapt to different sizes of shelves.

[0034] The stacking adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a camera and a rejection mechanism. The camera is positioned above the second horizontal steering mechanism 35, and the rejection mechanism is used to reject goods that do not meet the orientation requirements.

[0035] Working principle: The lidar first scans the container position and calculates the position of the container centerline. Then, the adjustment mechanism adjusts the rotation and translation of the mounting plate 29 relative to the base plate 21, so that the loading mechanism 4 is aligned with the container, which improves work efficiency.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
