[0003] The three-dimensional warehouse of intelligent electric meter usually realizes efficient storage based on stacking turnover disc, and the turnover disc is stored, buffered and packaged and transported by stacking and unstacking. The turnover disc is generally made of plastic material, and when the stacking is high, the bottom turnover disc is easily deformed under stress, or the turnover disc is deformed after long-term use. The slight deformation of the turnover disc will cause the upper and lower turnover discs to be clamped and tightened when stacking, and the turnover disc cannot be automatically separated when unstacking, which affects the efficiency of unstacking and causes production line connection failure.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0026] When unstacking the turnover boxes containing smart meters, deformation of the turnover boxes may cause misalignment and jamming at the interlocking points of the upper and lower turnover boxes during stacking, resulting in the turnover boxes not being able to separate naturally from the turnover boxes above during unstacking.

[0027] Therefore, this application designs a smart meter depalletizing and depalletizing device to facilitate guiding and limiting during stacking and to assist in separating turnover boxes during depalletizing.

[0028] This application adds a mechanism to the existing palletizing and depalletizing equipment to guide and limit movement during palletizing and to assist in the detachment of turnover boxes during depalletizing. Specifically, such as... Figures 1-6The smart meter depalletizing and palletizing device of this utility model mainly includes a palletizing frame 1 and a conveying mechanism 2 passing through the inside of the frame. The palletizing frame 1 is equipped with a reciprocating lifting unit 3 and a gripping unit 4 that moves up and down with the reciprocating lifting unit 3. A guide positioning mechanism is arranged below the lifting unit inside the palletizing frame 1. The guide positioning mechanism is symmetrically distributed on both sides inside the palletizing frame 1 and is suitable for acting on the turnover box on the conveying mechanism 2 inside the frame. The guide positioning mechanism includes a guide unit 5 and a positioning unit 6.

[0029] The guiding unit 5 operates along the working direction of the conveying mechanism 2;

[0030] The positioning unit 6 is located at the working end of the guide unit 5 and is cut off in the working direction of the conveying mechanism 2. During stacking, it is suitable for positioning the turnover box conveying position of the conveying mechanism 2; during destacking, it is suitable for pushing the corresponding turnover box along the conveying direction.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gripping unit 4 is disposed on the lower part of the lifting frame 21 near the conveying mechanism 2. The gripping unit 4 includes a telescopic drive 24 and clamping members 25 disposed on the telescopic end of the telescopic drive 24. The clamping members 25 are symmetrical in pairs. The telescopic drive 24 is disposed on the lifting frame 21 and is used to drive the corresponding clamping members 25 to move closer to or away from each other. In this application, ear plates are provided on the top edge of both sides of the turnover box or grooves matching the clamping members 25 are provided on the upper part of the side wall to facilitate gripping by the clamping members 25.

[0032] Specifically, during palletizing, the gripping unit 4 descends to the turnover box on the conveying mechanism 2, and the clamping parts 25 approach each other and abut against the corresponding side wall groove of the turnover box or are located below the ear plate of the turnover box. Then the gripping unit 4 rises, and the turnover box is lifted upward. The gripping unit 4 descends and rises repeatedly to complete the palletizing operation.

[0033] It should be noted that the reciprocating lifting unit 3 can be a chain lifting mechanism or a cylinder-driven lifting mechanism. The lifting drive of the reciprocating lifting unit 3 in the palletizing frame 1 is connected to the lifting frame 21. The lifting frame 21 is located in the palletizing frame 1 and is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the lifting frame 21 has second cantilever 22 spaced apart along the direction of the conveying mechanism 2 on the side close to the conveying mechanism 2, and the ends of the second cantilever 22 are respectively provided with limit rods 23. The distance between the limit rods 23 on both sides of the working direction of the conveying mechanism 2 is adapted to the turnover box.

[0035] The guide unit 5 corresponds to the limiting vertical bar 23 on the same side as the conveying mechanism 2. During stacking, it guides the turnover box between the two sets of guide units 5. The positioning unit 6 is located at the end of the guide and corresponds to the working position of the limiting vertical bar 23 at the end of the conveying mechanism. It limits the turnover box from the side. Therefore, it realizes the limiting of the turnover plate from three sides (both sides of the turnover plate and the corresponding side wall at the end of the conveying mechanism), which makes it easy for the upper and lower turnover plates to be aligned during stacking.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the palletizing frame 1 has mounting plates 7 arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 2. The mounting plates 7 are symmetrically distributed and have a predetermined working length along the working direction of the conveying mechanism 2. The guiding and positioning mechanism is arranged on the mounting plates 7.

[0037] The positioning unit 6 includes a first cantilever 8 mounted on a mounting plate 7 of the palletizer frame 1 and a positioning element 9 mounted at the extended end of the cantilever. The cantilever extends toward the conveying mechanism 2 to a predetermined working length. Layered elastic pads 10 are mounted on the working surface of the positioning element 9 via a telescopic push rod 11. The telescopic push rod 11 can be customized according to the stroke and thrust required during use.

[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, the layered elastic pad 10 includes a first pad 12 disposed at the telescopic end of the telescopic push rod 11 and a second pad 14 connected by an elastic member 13, wherein the working surface of the second pad 14 has a friction layer.

[0039] More preferably, the front side of the first pad 12 is provided with a receiving chamber that matches the second pad 14, and the second pad 14 can move in and out of the receiving chamber of the first pad 12 as the elastic member 13 deforms; wherein, the elastic member 13 is a sponge pad. The first pad and the second pad can both be pads made of rubber. During destacking, the telescopic push rod 11, with its telescopic end carrying the layered elastic pads 10, abuts against the outer wall of the bottommost turnover box in the stack and pushes the turnover box forward, assisting the turnover box in detaching from the stack.

[0040] The guiding unit 5 includes two connecting arms 15, a connecting rod 16, multiple guide rollers 17, and multiple fixed rollers 18. The connecting arms 15 are respectively disposed at both ends of the corresponding mounting plate 7 and extend towards the conveying mechanism 2 to a predetermined length. The connecting rod 16 is disposed between the two connecting arms 15. The multiple guide rollers 17 are spaced apart along the length direction of the connecting rod 16 and are rotatably disposed at the bottom of the connecting rod 16. The fixed rollers 18 are disposed at the bottom of the connecting rod 16 and are also spaced apart from the multiple guide rollers 17. The fixed rollers 18 include an inner roller and an airbag ring 19 covering the outer wall of the inner roller. The airbag ring 19 is connected to a miniature air pump 20 through a pipeline. The miniature air pump 20 is a bidirectional air pump that can inflate and deflate the airbag ring 19.

[0041] In this embodiment, friction protrusions are provided on the outer wall of the airbag ring 19 in order to provide a certain clamping force on the turntable during destacking.

[0042] During destacking, the grabbing unit 4 lowers the stacked turnover box onto the conveying mechanism 2, then adjusts the working distance of the clamping part 25 and rises it by the height of one turnover box, then clamps it on the side wall of the corresponding turnover box and continues to rise; at this time, the turnover box on the conveying mechanism 2 will automatically detach from the turnover tray above under the action of gravity.

[0043] During this process, the micro air pump 20 can be activated to inflate the airbag ring 19, which then presses against both sides of the turnover box. The layered elastic pad 10 presses against the rear wall of the bottom turnover box in the stack, making contact with the turnover box from three sides, which facilitates the separation of the bottom turnover box from the turnover boxes stacked above. Then, the micro air pump 20 is activated to extract air, and at the same time, the telescopic push rod 11 is activated. The layered elastic pad 10 pushes the turnover box forward from the rear side, pushing the turnover box away from the area of ​​the fixed roller 18, thus completing the destacking.

[0044] In the above process, the control circuits for the micro air pump and the telescopic push rod can be integrated into the overall control module of the device. This is existing technology and will not be described again in this application.

[0045] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
