They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.
[0033] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides an automatic tray stacking and collection device, which includes a tray conveyor line 1 for transporting trays, and a lifting component 2 installed below the tray conveyor line 1; at least two sets of limiting components 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the tray conveyor line 1 above the lifting component 2; the limiting component 3 includes an "L"-shaped lower bracket 30 vertically installed on the tray conveyor line 1, an "L"-shaped upper bracket 31 connected to the top of the "L"-shaped lower bracket 30, a limiting member 32 rotatably installed at the extension end of the "L"-shaped upper bracket 31, the limiting member 32 being parallel to the "L"-shaped lower bracket 30; a limiting platform 320 for supporting the tray is provided at the free end of the limiting member 32, and the bottoms of the limiting platform 320 and the limiting member 32 are inclined; an elastic member is installed between the limiting member 32 and the base of the "L"-shaped upper bracket 31.
[0034] This utility model provides an automatic tray stacking and collection device. An empty tray is conveyed to the top of a lifting assembly 2 via a tray conveyor line 1. A lifting cylinder 24 drives a lifting plate 20 to move upwards, lifting the tray. When both sides of the tray abut against the inclined position of the bottom of the limiting member 32, the spring 33 is compressed. The top of the limiting member 32 rotates relative to the "L"-shaped upper support 31, and its bottom moves towards the "L"-shaped lower support 30, providing clearance for the tray's upward movement. When the tray moves above the limiting platform 320, the limiting member 32 resets under the relaxation of the spring 33. Finally, the lifting cylinder 24 retracts to lower the tray onto the limiting platform 320 for collection. This cycle achieves tray stacking and collection. This automatic tray stacking and collection device has a simple structure, not only increasing tray recycling efficiency and reducing labor costs, but also improving product loading efficiency in the production line.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the "L"-shaped upper bracket 31 is horizontally mounted on top of the "L"-shaped lower bracket 30 via its base, with its other end extending towards the material tray. The extended end of the "L"-shaped upper bracket 31 has a slot, and one end of the limiting member 32 is rotatably mounted within the slot via a pivot. It should be noted that the elastic element includes, but is not limited to, a spring 33 or an elastic airbag. For better mechanical performance, the elastic element in this embodiment is preferably a spring 33. To ensure more stable installation of the spring 33, the base of the "L"-shaped upper bracket 31 and the limiting member 32... The middle part is provided with a circular countersunk hole 34, and the two ends of the spring 33 are respectively connected to the circular countersunk hole 34. In this structure, when the lifting component 2 lifts the material tray upward, the material tray abuts against the inclined end of the bottom of the limiting member 32, the spring 33 is compressed by force, and the limiting member 32 rotates relative to the "L"-shaped upper bracket 31 and moves its bottom towards the "L"-shaped lower bracket 30, providing the material tray with upward movement clearance space. When the material tray moves above the limiting platform 320, the limiting member 32 resets, and the material tray is carried on the four limiting platforms 320 for collection.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 2 includes a base plate 21 located below the material tray conveyor line 1 and a lifting cylinder 24 mounted on the base plate 21. The bottom of the base plate 21 is mounted on an external workbench or workstation. Guide rods 22 are installed at the four corners of the base plate 21, and the tops of the four guide rods are connected to a horizontally shaped lifting plate 20 via linear bearings 23. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 24 is connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 20. The lifting cylinder 24 drives the lifting plate 20 to move up and down. The guide rods 22 enable the lifting plate 20 to pass through the material tray conveyor line 1 more stably to lift the material tray, so that the material tray can be stacked and collected between the four limiting assemblies 3. It should be noted that the height of the top of the guide rod 22 is lower than the upper surface of the tray conveyor line 1 to prevent the tray from being obstructed when it is conveyed on the tray conveyor line 1. In addition, the distance between the guide rod 22 and the limiting table 320 is less than the height of one linear bearing 23. That is to say, when the lifting plate 20 rises to the top of the guide rod 22, it can abut against the tray on the tray conveyor line 1. When the lifting plate 20 rises another linear bearing 23, the tray can be stacked on the limiting table 320.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the material tray conveyor line 1 includes two relatively parallel crossbeams 10, with driven wheels 11 installed at both ends of the inner side of the two crossbeams 10 respectively; a conveyor belt 12 is connected between the two driven wheels 11 located on the same crossbeam 10, and a drive shaft 13 is connected between the two driven wheels 11 located at the same end. A drive wheel 14 is provided on the drive shaft 13, and a drive motor 152 is mounted below the drive wheel 14. A drive belt 151 is connected between the output end of the drive motor 152 and the drive wheel 14. The drive shaft 13 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 152 to drive the conveyor belts 12 on both sides to move synchronously, thereby realizing the conveying of the material tray on the conveyor belt 12.
[0038] Furthermore, two or four sets of guide blocks 16 are symmetrically arranged on the two crossbeams 10. The guide blocks 16 can prevent the tray from shifting on the conveyor belt 12, so that the tray can be conveyed to the top of the lifting assembly 2 in a specified posture for stacking and collection. A baffle 18 is also provided between the ends of the two crossbeams 10 near the lifting assembly 2. When the tray is conveyed to the end of the tray conveying, the baffle 18 can physically prevent the tray from falling off the tray conveying line 1. In order to further improve the conveying position of the tray on the tray conveying line 1, an optical fiber sensor is installed at each end of the crossbeam 10 near the baffle 18. When the optical fiber sensor 17 senses the tray, the lifting cylinder 24 starts to work, pushing the lifting plate 20 to move upward and lift and collect the tray. It should be noted that a bracket matching the bottom of the tray can be installed on the lifting plate 20 to facilitate the tray to move upward more stably.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
