Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tray-splitting equipment technology, and in particular to a tray-splitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern packaging industry, box trays, as part of product packaging, are usually used to carry and protect goods. After production, box trays are usually arranged in a "stacked" form, that is, the box trays are stacked together to save storage space in subsequent processing and transportation. However, when the product manufacturer produces the goods, it is necessary to use a tray separating machine to separate the stacked box trays one by one.

[0003] Currently, the arrangement of trays in most tray sorting machines on the market is a horizontal layout, which takes up a lot of space. When multiple trays need to be processed, multiple tray sorting machines need to be arranged side by side, further increasing the floor space occupied. Especially in production environments with limited floor space, the layout of horizontal tray sorting machines may become a key factor restricting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a tray sorting machine that, through the vertical layout of the trays, makes the entire tray sorting machine more compact, greatly reduces the floor space, and improves space utilization and production line adaptability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a tray separating machine, comprising: a housing; multiple integrated compartments arranged equidistantly side-by-side in the housing along the width direction of the integrated compartments, each integrated compartment including a pre-storage compartment and a lifting compartment, wherein the lifting compartment is vertically disposed on the pre-storage compartment and has an opening facing the pre-storage compartment, the pre-storage compartment being used to transport multiple sets of longitudinally stacked trays pre-stored into the opening, and the lifting compartment being used to lift a set of stacked trays at the opening to a preset height; and a gripping mechanism disposed in the housing and above the lifting compartment, the gripping mechanism having multiple suction ends, the multiple suction ends being arranged according to the equidistant distribution of the multiple integrated compartments, the multiple suction ends being used to simultaneously adsorb and separate multiple trays at a preset height adjacent to the suction ends.

[0007] This utility model's tray separating machine, by vertically (longitudinally) positioning the lifting hopper on top of the pre-storage hopper, creates a right-angle arrangement between the lifting hopper and the pre-storage hopper. This allows stacked trays to be transported longitudinally (vertically), effectively reducing the floor space occupied by traditional horizontal distribution. The space-saving effect is particularly significant in scenarios where multiple sets of equipment are deployed side-by-side or where multiple sets of horizontally arranged trays need to be pre-stored on each production line. This allows the tray separating machine to store and process more trays within a limited space, resulting in a more compact structure and higher space utilization. Furthermore, the gripping mechanism enables simultaneous separation of multiple stacked trays arranged side-by-side, greatly improving separation efficiency.

[0008] In addition, the tray handling machine proposed in the application may also have the following additional technical features:

One end of the second link is hinged to the V-shaped plate, and the other end of the second link is hinged to the extension of the connector facing away from the V-shaped plate. The extension is inclined from bottom to top.

[0011] Specifically, the pre-storage hopper includes a base and a first conveyor, wherein the first conveyor and the lifting hopper are respectively disposed on the base, and one end of the first conveyor extends into the opening.

[0036] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the solution of this utility model will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0037] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0038] The tray-splitting machine of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tray sorting machine of this utility model embodiment may include a box body 1, multiple integrated compartments 2, and a gripping mechanism 3.

[0040] The box body 1 has multiple openings to facilitate manual handling of the trays.

[0041] Multiple integrated compartments 2 are arranged side-by-side along the width of the integrated compartment 2 within the housing 1. Each integrated compartment 2 includes a pre-storage compartment 20 and a lifting compartment 21. The lifting compartment 21 is vertically positioned on top of the pre-storage compartment 20, and has an opening 22 facing the pre-storage compartment 20. This vertical (longitudinal) distribution of the lifting compartments 21 allows multiple stacks of box trays to also be longitudinally distributed, effectively reducing the floor space occupied by traditional horizontal distribution. This floor space saving is particularly significant in scenarios where multiple sets of equipment are deployed side-by-side and multiple sets of horizontally arranged box trays need to be pre-stored on each production line. This allows the box tray sorting machine to store and process more box trays within a limited space, resulting in a more compact structure and higher space utilization.

[0042] The pre-storage hopper 20 is used to transport multiple sets of longitudinally stacked box trays that have been stored in advance to the opening 22.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the pre-storage hopper 20 includes a base 200 and a first conveyor 201. The first conveyor 201 and the lifting hopper 21 are respectively disposed on the base 200, and one end of the first conveyor 201 extends into the opening 22. That is, by placing stacks of box trays on the first conveyor 201, the first conveyor 201 conveys the stacks of box trays toward the opening 22 and into the opening 22.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pre-storage hopper 20 also includes two limiting mechanisms 202, which are distributed on both sides of the first conveyor 201. Each limiting mechanism 202 includes a limiting plate 2020, a slider bracket 2021, and a sliding rod 2022. The limiting plate 2020 is fixed on the slider bracket 2021, and the slider bracket 2021 is movably mounted on the sliding rod 2022. One end of the sliding rod 2022 is fixed on the first conveyor 201. The limiting mechanisms 202 can limit the position of the box trays during the conveying process of the first conveyor 201, preventing the box trays from tilting or collapsing during the conveying process. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the slider bracket 2021 on the sliding rod 2022, the position of the limiting plate 2020 relative to the box trays can be adjusted, thereby accommodating box trays of different sizes and improving the applicability.

[0045] It should be noted that the slider bracket 2021 is a self-locking slider, that is, a locking element is provided on the side wall of the slider bracket 2021, and the position of the slider bracket 2021 can be fixed by the locking element abutting against the slide rod 2022.

[0046] The lifting hopper 21 is used to lift a group of stacked box trays at the opening 22 to a preset height, wherein the preset height can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting hopper 21 includes a vertical plate 210, two side plates 211, a second motor 212, a lead screw 213, a ball sleeve 214, and a lifting plate 215.

[0048] The upright plate 210 is set on the pre-storage bin 20, and the upright plate 210 is provided with a sliding groove 2100. The sliding groove 2100 is used for the lifting plate 215 to pass through and extend towards the pre-storage bin 20. At the same time, the sliding groove 2100 can also limit the lifting plate 215.

[0049] Two side plates 211 are slidably mounted on the upright plate 210. The two side plates 211 and the upright plate 210 form a U-shaped opening 22. The side plates 211 can slide on the upright plate 210 through the cooperation of slide rails and locking sliders, thereby adjusting the distance between the two side plates 211 to accommodate box trays of different sizes and improve the stability of the box tray during the lifting process. In order to facilitate the fixing of the side plates 211 and the locking sliders, the side plates 211 can be designed as L-shaped.

[0050] The second motor 212 is located on the side of the upright plate 210 away from the side plate 211. The output shaft of the second motor 212 is detachably connected to the lead screw 213. The end of the lead screw 213 away from the second motor 212 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat on the upright plate 210. The ball sleeve 214 is rotatably connected to the lead screw 213. The lifting plate 215 is fixedly connected to the ball sleeve 214, and one end of the lifting plate 215 extends toward the pre-storage bin 20 through the slide groove 2100.

[0051] It should be noted that the first conveyor 201 is a double conveyor belt conveyor, and the distance between the two conveyor belts is greater than the width of the lifting plate 215, thereby allowing the lifting plate 215 to descend below the conveyor belt, which facilitates the lifting plate 215 to lift the box tray placed on the conveyor belt.

[0052] Specifically, the second motor 212, in conjunction with the lead screw 213, can drive the ball sleeve 214 to move, so as to lift the box support to a preset height via the lifting plate 215. The second motor 212 is a forward and reverse motor, so the direction of movement of the ball sleeve 214 can be changed by rotating the motor output shaft forward or backward.

[0053] The gripping mechanism 3 is installed in the housing 1 and is arranged above the lifting hopper 21. The gripping mechanism 3 has multiple suction ends, which are arranged according to the equidistant distribution of multiple integrated hoppers 2, ensuring that each suction end can accurately correspond to the position of a lifting hopper 21. The multiple suction ends are used to simultaneously adsorb and separate multiple box trays that are close to the suction end at a preset height, so as to realize the simultaneous separation of multiple sets of box trays arranged side by side in a stack, which greatly improves the separation efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the gripping mechanism 3 may include a vertical plate 30, a mounting frame 31, a first motor 32, a drive arm 33, a coupling 34, a connecting piece 35, a horizontal plate 36, and a suction cup 37.

[0055] The vertical plate 30 is fixed in the housing 1. There are two mounting brackets 31, two first motors 32, two drive arms 33, and two couplings 34. The mounting bracket 31 is fixed on the vertical plate 30. The first motor 32 is mounted on the mounting bracket 31. The coupling 34 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 30. One end of the coupling 34 is detachably connected to the output shaft of the first motor 32. The other end of the coupling 34 is detachably connected to the drive arm 33. The ends of the two drive arms 33 away from the vertical plate 30 are respectively hinged to the connecting piece 35. The drive arm 33 is formed by hinged two connecting plates. The horizontal plate 36 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 35. There are multiple suction cups 37, and the multiple suction cups 37 are equally spaced on the side of the horizontal plate 36 facing the lifting hopper 21. The suction cups 37 are the suction ends of the gripping mechanism 3. The suction cups 37 have three vacuum channels and one vacuum breaking channel. The structure of the suction cups 37 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Specifically, by precisely controlling the driving direction and speed of the two first motors 32, the drive arm 33 can be controlled to move the suction cup 37 downward, upward, and left and right through the connector 35 and the horizontal plate 36. This flexible operation not only improves the grasping accuracy but also significantly enhances the adaptability and flexibility of the machine, enabling the grasping mechanism 3 to move flexibly and grasp precisely in three-dimensional space. At the same time, the multiple suction cups 37 arranged at equal intervals greatly improve the grasping efficiency.

[0057] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the gripping mechanism 3 also includes a linkage mechanism 38, which includes a first link 380, a V-shaped plate 381, and a second link 382. One end of the first link 380 is hinged to the vertical plate 30, and the other end of the first link 380 is hinged to the V-shaped plate 381. The corner of the V-shaped plate 381 is hinged to the hinge of the two connecting plates. One end of the second link 382 is hinged to the V-shaped plate 381, and the other end of the second link 382 is hinged to the extension 350 of the connector 35 facing away from the V-shaped plate 381. The extension 350 is inclined from bottom to top. By setting the linkage mechanism 38, the horizontal plate 36 can always be vertically downward, thereby ensuring the stability of the suction cup 37 when adsorbing.

[0058] Specifically, the first link 380 and the adjacent connecting plate form a first parallelogram, and the second link 382 and the adjacent connecting plate form a second parallelogram. In the parallelogram, the swing of any side will drive the movement of the other sides. Therefore, the swing angle of the drive arm 33 and the swing angle of the linkage mechanism 38 compensate for each other. That is, when the drive arm 33 swings, the shape of the first parallelogram changes, causing the second parallelogram to adjust its position. The adjustment of the second parallelogram is achieved through the swing of the second link 382, ​​which compensates for the position and angle of the connector 35. This ensures that the direction of the suction cup 37 is not affected by the swing of the drive arm 33. Therefore, when the drive arm 33 swings, the movement direction of the connector 35 is restricted by the linkage mechanism 38. No matter how the drive arm 33 swings, the suction cup 37 will be constrained by the linkage mechanism 38 and maintain its direction, ensuring that the suction cup 37 always faces downwards, thereby ensuring the stability of the suction cup 37 during adsorption.

[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pallet sorting machine of this utility model embodiment also includes a second conveyor 4. The second conveyor 4 is disposed in the housing 1 and is arranged near the top of the lifting hopper 21. It can be understood that by setting the second conveyor 4, multiple separated pallets can be simultaneously placed on the second conveyor 4 by the gripping mechanism 3 and transported to a designated location, avoiding manual handling, reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency.

[0060] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this sorting machine also includes two opposing support mechanisms 5. Each support mechanism 5 includes a first cylinder 50 and a support plate 51. The first cylinder 50 is fixed on the upright plate 210, and the support plate 51 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the first cylinder 50. The support plate 51 passes through a through slot 2110 opened on the upright plate 210.

[0061] Specifically, after the stack of box trays is lifted to a preset height using the second motor 212 in conjunction with the lifting plate 215, the output shafts of the two first cylinders 50 can be controlled to drive the two support plates 51 to move towards the box trays, thereby supporting the stack of box trays on the lifting plate 215. This operation not only releases the lifting plate 215, allowing it to quickly prepare for the lifting task of the next set of box trays, but also greatly improves work efficiency.

[0062] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, this sorting machine also includes two opposing blocking mechanisms 6. The blocking mechanism 6 includes a second cylinder 60 and a baffle 61. The second cylinder 60 is disposed on the side plate 211, and the baffle 61 is disposed on the drive end of the second cylinder 60.

[0063] Specifically, in the standard operating procedure, operators manually place stacks of trays onto the first conveyor 201, ensuring a specific width interval between adjacent groups of trays. This interval is designed to ensure that the equipment can accurately identify and process each group of trays during subsequent processing.

[0064] To further enhance the automation and operational safety of the equipment, a blocking mechanism 6 is installed. When a set of trays is successfully conveyed to the opening 22 and is ready for lifting, the output shaft of the second cylinder 60 can be controlled to drive the baffle 61 to move smoothly towards the tray until it completely blocks the opening 22. The main purpose of this design is to prevent the next set of trays from entering the opening 22 prematurely due to misoperation or other external factors, thereby interfering with the normal lifting operation of the lifting plate 215 on the current tray.

[0065] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this tray sorting machine also includes a first photoelectric sensor 7 and a second photoelectric sensor 8. The first photoelectric sensor 7 is located at the bottom end near the side plate 211, and the side plate 211 has a first through hole 2111 at the position corresponding to the probe of the first photoelectric sensor 7. The first photoelectric sensor 7 is used to obtain the position of the tray in the opening 22. The second photoelectric sensor 8 is located at the top end near the side plate 211, and the side plate 211 has a second through hole 2112 at the position corresponding to the probe of the second photoelectric sensor 8. The second photoelectric sensor 8 is used to obtain the height position of the tray after lifting.

[0066] Specifically, by setting the first photoelectric sensor 7 and the second photoelectric sensor 8, the position of the tray in the opening 22 and the height of the tray after lifting can be intelligently obtained, effectively avoiding errors that may be caused by human observation, and greatly reducing the workload of operators.

[0067] It should be noted that both the first photoelectric sensor 7 and the second photoelectric sensor 8 are equipped with indicator lights and / or buzzers, thus providing operators with a clear indication of the accuracy of the tray position detection through the visual means of lighting up the lights and / or emitting sounds. This design not only enhances the intuitiveness of operation but also significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of personnel monitoring the tray position, facilitating subsequent work.

[0068] As one possibility, this sorting machine can be controlled manually or intelligently by installing a controller on housing 1 and storing a pre-edited program in the controller.

[0069] For example, the controller can be connected to components such as the first photoelectric sensor 7, the second photoelectric sensor 8, the first cylinder 50, the second cylinder 60, the first motor 32, the second motor 212, the first conveyor 201, and the second conveyor 4 via cables or wireless signals to ensure the stability and real-time performance of signal transmission. A pre-edited program is stored in the controller, containing all the operational procedures and logical judgments of the tray sorting machine. The program needs to be customized according to actual needs to meet different working environments and grasping requirements.

[0070] For example, when the first conveyor 201 transports stacks of trays to a designated position (i.e., in the opening 22), the first photoelectric sensor 7 detects the presence of the trays and transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the second motor 212 and the second cylinder 60 (extending to a preset telescopic length) to operate, and controls the first conveyor 201 to stop operating. The lifting plate 215 is then driven to lift the stacks of trays to a preset height. When the second photoelectric sensor 8 detects a signal, it indicates that the preset height has been reached, and the signal is transmitted to the controller. The controller controls the second motor 212 to stop operating and controls the first motor 32 to operate to separate the trays during lifting. The separated trays are then transferred to the second conveyor 4, thus achieving intelligent operation. Throughout the tray separation process, the controller monitors the working status of each component in real time and can periodically update and optimize the program in the controller according to actual needs and changes in the working environment.

[0071] In summary, the tray sorting machine of this utility model, through the vertical layout of the trays, makes the entire tray sorting machine more compact, greatly reduces the floor space, and improves space utilization and production line adaptability.
