[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic processing technology, specifically to an automatic pallet replenishing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the automated ceramic processing, the process involves steps such as clay preparation, cutting, rolling, drying, and washing. The finished ceramic blanks are then placed onto supporting wooden boards by a pick-and-place device for output. However, traditional pick-and-place devices require workers to individually remove the supporting wooden boards with multiple ceramic blanks from the output mechanism, then arrange and place them one by one before sending them to the next processing unit. Since the production line is constantly processing, workers must remain at their posts at all times, resulting in excessive labor intensity and increasing the risk of production interruptions due to unforeseen circumstances. This not only wastes a significant amount of manpower but also greatly reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, this embodiment discloses an automatic pallet replenishing device, including a first support frame 1, a second support frame 2, and a third support frame 3 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The first support frame 1 is equipped with a first conveying component, the second support frame 2 is equipped with a second conveying component and a support component connected to the second conveying component, and the support component moves between the first support frame 1 and the first conveying component under the drive of the second conveying component. The third support frame 3 is equipped with a third conveying component for transferring pallets onto a conveyor belt. Initially, the support component is located on the first support frame 1. A stack of pallets is manually pushed from the first conveying component to the support component. The second conveying component then raises the support component to a position close to the second support frame 2, and the third conveying component sequentially places the pallets onto the support frame. This eliminates the need for manual supervision at the production line, improving work efficiency and saving labor costs.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the second conveying assembly includes a guide base 4 and a slide block 5 that slidably engages with the guide base 4. The support assembly is connected to the slide block 5, and the guide base 4 extends from the second support frame 2 to the first support frame 1. The second conveying assembly is a linear motor module, wherein a stator is installed inside the guide base 4, and a mover adapted to the stator is installed at the bottom of the slide block 5, which is prior art. Multiple sets of the first conveying assemblies are arranged in parallel. Each first conveying assembly includes a first support rod 6, a second support rod 7, and multiple rollers 8. The first support rods 6 are arranged in pairs, and the two ends of the second support rods 7 are respectively connected to the first support rods 6. The multiple rollers 8 are respectively in rolling connection with the second support rods 7. The second support rod 7 has a strip groove, and the rollers 8 are arranged sequentially and mounted on the groove wall via a rotating shaft. The second conveying assembly can also be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0018] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the support assembly includes a first support plate 9 and a second support plate 10. One side of the first support plate 9 is connected to the slide 5, and the other side of the first support plate 9 is provided with the second support plate 10. There is at least one second support plate 10, which is positioned between two adjacent first conveying assemblies. When there are multiple second support plates 10, they are spaced apart along the length of the first support plate 9. A slot 11 is provided at one end of the first support frame 1 near the second support plate 10. A limiting rod 12 is movably fitted within the slot 11. The height of the slot 11 is not higher than the first support rod 6, and the limiting rod 12 extends towards the second support frame 2. When a pallet needs to be placed, the limiting rod 12 is removed from the slot 11, and a stack of pallets is manually pushed to the second support plate 10 by the rollers 8. Then, the limiting rod 12 is inserted into the slot 11. The pallets and the second support plate 10 move towards the second support frame 2 under the influence of the slide 5. The limiting rod 12 limits the movement of the pallets during their ascent. The limiting rod 12 does not contact the second support frame 2.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the second support frame 2 includes a support plate 13 and a push plate 14. The support plate 13 has a sliding groove 15, and the push plate 14 slides along the sliding groove 15. The second support frame 2 includes a third support rod 23 and a fourth support rod 24. A guide base 4 is installed on one side of the third support rod 23, and another third support rod 24 is installed on the other side. A slide rail 25 is provided on the fourth support rod 24. One end of the push plate 14 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 25, and the other end of the push plate 14 protrudes from the sliding groove 15. The push plate 14 is connected to a cylinder, which pushes the push plate 14 to move. When the third conveying component transfers the pallet onto the support plate 13, the push plate 14 pushes the pallet forward under the push of the cylinder. Then, the cylinder drives the push plate 14 to reset, preparing for the next push of the pallet. The cylinder can also be a linear motor.
[0020] like Figure 2As shown, the third conveying assembly includes a first cylinder, a slider 16, a first connecting plate 17, a second connecting plate 18, a second cylinder 19, and a suction cup 20. The first cylinder is connected to the slider 16 and is mounted on the third support frame 3. One end of the slider 16 is connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder, and the other end of the slider 16 is mounted on the first connecting plate 17. The second connecting plate 18 is vertically connected to both ends of the first connecting plate 17. The second cylinder 19 is mounted on the second connecting plate 18, and the telescopic end of the second cylinder 19 is connected to the suction cup 20. The first and second cylinders 19 can also be hydraulic cylinders. The suction cup 20 is connected to a vacuum pump. The first cylinder drives the slider 16 to move along the guide rod 21. When a pallet needs to be moved, the first cylinder drives the slider 16 to move the suction cup 20 above the pallet. The second cylinder 19 drives the suction cup 20 to descend to the pallet. The vacuum pump pumps air, and the suction cup 20 picks up the pallet. The second cylinder 19 drives the suction cup 20 to rise. The first cylinder drives the slider 16 to move above the support plate 13. The second cylinder 19 drives the suction cup 20 to descend to the support plate 13. The vacuum pump releases air, and the pallet falls onto the support plate 13. The push plate 14 pushes the pallet to move to the next process. The third support frame 3 is provided with a guide rod 21. The lower surface of the first connecting plate 17 is provided with a limiting block 22 that slides with the guide rod 21. The guide rod 21 and the limiting block 22 slide with each other. During the movement of the limiting block 22 driven by the first cylinder, the guide rod 21 and the limiting block 22 limit the axial movement of the first connecting plate 17 along the guide rod 21. The first and second cylinders can also be replaced by linear motors.
