[0005] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic palletizer buffer device to solve the technical problem that the rapid movement of the current robotic arm, the frequent lifting and lowering of the pallet, and the rapid placement of goods will generate impact forces, which will directly act on the metal structure of the equipment and lead to a decrease in the positioning accuracy of the robotic arm after long-term use.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic palletizing machine buffer device includes a buffer base plate, a buffer top plate at the upper end of the buffer base plate, a groove at the upper end of the buffer top plate, a lifting device fixedly connected inside the groove, a clamping device fixedly connected to the bottom of the buffer base plate, and a sliding hole at the upper surface of the buffer base plate, with a buffer assembly inside the sliding hole.

[0008] The buffer assembly includes a connecting column slidably connected to the sliding hole. A support plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting column. A first spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate near the center. The other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the buffer base plate. A support column is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate near the center. The lifting device is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column. A connecting ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column near the center. Two rotating grooves are opened on both sides of the connecting ring. A lifting rod is fixedly connected inside the rotating grooves. A first elastic element is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring. A support plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the first elastic element. A second elastic element is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting ring. The lifting device is fixedly connected to the other end of the second elastic element.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, the upper surface of the support plate is provided with multiple sliding grooves near both sides, and a sliding member is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The upper end of the sliding member is rotatably connected to the lifting rod.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, a rotating groove is provided on the upper surface of the support plate near the other two sides, and a clamping member is fixedly connected inside the rotating groove. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the upper end of the clamping member.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the lower surface of the lifting device is fixedly connected to multiple connecting plates, and the bottom of the connecting plates is fixedly connected to a sliding rod. A moving groove is opened near the lower end of the sliding rod, and the connecting rod is slidably connected inside the moving groove.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, multiple support rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the buffer top plate near the four corners, and the other end of the support rods passes through the buffer bottom plate and is fixedly connected to the limiting end.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, a limiting disc is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod near the center, a third elastic element is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting disc, and a buffer base plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the third elastic element.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the connecting column extends into the sliding hole, and the first spring above the connecting plate buffers the palletizer. At the same time, the connecting rod above slides inside the sliding rod to support the bottom of the support plate. While providing support, the elastic element on the outer wall of the support column drives the connecting ring to slide up and down. While sliding up and down, the lifting rods on both sides of the connecting ring slide inside the sliding groove, which increases the buffering effect on the automatic palletizer and avoids the decrease in the positioning accuracy of the robotic arm due to buffering problems.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, after the palletizer clamps an object, the large mass of the object may cause the robotic arm to sway, which may damage the robotic arm. The robotic arm is supported by a support rod, and a third elastic element is used to reduce the amplitude of the robotic arm sway. Attached Figure Description

A first spring 202 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 216 near the center. The other end of the first spring 202 is fixedly connected to the buffer base plate 1. A support column 209 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 216 near the center. A lifting device 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 209. A connecting ring 210 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column 209 near the center. Two rotating grooves 213 are opened on both sides of the connecting ring 210. The lifting rod 212 is fixedly connected inside the 13. The bottom of the connecting ring 210 is fixedly connected to the first elastic element 208. The other end of the first elastic element 208 is fixedly connected to the support plate 216. The upper surface of the connecting ring 210 is fixedly connected to the second elastic element 214. The other end of the second elastic element 214 is fixedly connected to the lifting device 12 and extends into the sliding hole 15 through the connecting column 201. The first spring 202 above the buffer base plate 1 buffers the lifting device 12. At the same time, the connecting rod 205 above slides inside the sliding rod 206 to support the bottom of the lifting device 12.

[0032] Multiple sliding grooves 215 are provided on the upper surface of the support plate 216 near both sides. Sliding members 211 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 215. A lifting rod 212 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the sliding member 211.
