Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of profile stacking technology, and specifically to a profile stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] Profiles are products with specific shapes made of malleable metals or non-metals, widely used in photovoltaic frames, building door and window frames, and railings. The process of transforming profiles from raw parts into finished products typically involves cutting, milling, drilling, and installing corner brackets, followed by stacking into piles, and finally transporting them to the assembly station for final assembly. Since most profiles have grooves and protrusions on one side, to improve space utilization and stacking stability, the grooved and protruding sides of the upper and lower sets of profiles are first aligned and interlocked, then stacked layer by layer on a pallet.

[0003] Currently available profile palletizing equipment can only handle profiles with regular outlines. Profiles with grooves and protrusions can only be palletized manually. Manual palletizing suffers from low efficiency and high labor intensity, making it unsuitable for the demands of large-scale automated production. Furthermore, the processed profiles have sharp corners and edges, which can easily injure operators performing manual palletizing, posing certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: frame 1, workbench 2, flipping device 3, feeding device 4, walking device 5, palletizing robot 6, first rotary motor 7, connecting rod 8, first fixed seat 9, first suction cup 10, first profile body 11, first rack 12, side posture cylinder 13, second fixed seat 14, second suction cup 15, first housing 16, second housing 17, crossbar 18, third rotary motor 19, fourth rotary motor 20, first gear 21, first transmission rod 22, slider 23, slide rail 24, second gear 25, second rack 26, third gear 27, fourth gear 28, second transmission rod 29, and third transmission rod 30.

[0024] As attached Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment illustrates a profile stacking device, including a frame 1 and a worktable 2, with the worktable 2 positioned below the frame 1. A flipping device 3 and a feeding device 4 are mounted on the worktable 2, with the flipping device 3 positioned on one side of the feeding device 4. Specifically, there are two flipping devices 3, located at the beginning and end of the feeding device 4, respectively. The feeding device 4 is specifically a conveyor belt device.

[0025] The frame 1 is equipped with a walking device 5 and a palletizing robot 6. The palletizing robot 6 moves on the frame 1 via the walking device 5. The flipping device 3 is used to flip the profiles on the feeding device 4. The palletizing robot 6 is used to stack or flip the profiles and then stack them.

[0026] The stacking process of the profile stacking device in this embodiment is as follows: the profiles are transported to the workstation by the feeding device 4. The first profile is placed upright by the stacking robot 6 without flipping. Then the second profile is transported to the workstation by the transport device. At this time, the flipping device 3 grabs the second profile and flips it 90°. Then the stacking robot 6 grabs the second profile and continues to flip it 90° to flip the profile over. After flipping, it is placed on the first profile to complete the stacking of one upright and one reversed profile.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 2The flipping device 3 shown includes a first rotating motor 7, a connecting rod 8, a first fixed base 9, and a first suction cup 10. One end of the connecting rod 8 is connected to the first rotating motor 7, and the other end is connected to the first fixed base 9. The first suction cup 10 is mounted on the first fixed base 9. When the flipping device 3 needs to operate, the first rotating motor 7 drives the first fixed base 9 downward to approach the profile on the feeding device 4, and then the first suction cup 10 grabs the profile. After grabbing, the first rotating motor 7 drives the first fixed base 9 to rotate upward by 90° through the connecting rod 8, and then waits for the palletizing robot 6 to grab the profile to complete the remaining stacking process.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 3 The palletizing robot 6 shown includes a first profile body 11, a first rack 12, a side-positioning cylinder 13, a second fixed base 14, and a second suction cup 15. The first rack 12 is mounted on the first profile body 11, the side-positioning cylinder 13 is fixed on the first profile body 11, the second fixed base is located at the bottom of the first profile body 11 and connected to the side-positioning cylinder 13, and the second suction cup 15 is mounted on the second fixed base 14. The palletizing robot 6 is housed within the walking device 5.

[0029] The palletizing robot 6 in this embodiment has two working processes: one is to directly grab profiles from the feeding device 4 and stack them into the profile frame under the frame 1; the other is to grab profiles from the flipping device, flip them 90°, and then stack them. In the first working process, the walking device 5 moves the palletizing robot 6 to the side of the feeding device 4, uses the second suction cup 15 to grab the profiles, then moves it to the profile frame via the walking device 5, and then releases the profiles into the profile frame via the suction cup. In the second working process, the walking device 5 moves the palletizing robot 6 to the side of the flipping device 3, the side posture cylinder 13 drives the second suction cup 15 to align it with the profiles, then the second suction cup 15 grabs the profiles off the flipping device 3, and the walking device 5 transfers the palletizing robot 6 to the profile frame. Then the side posture cylinder 13 continues to rotate 90° to flip the profiles over, and finally stacks them.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 4-7 The walking device 5 shown includes a first housing 16 and a second housing 17 at both ends, and a crossbar 18 connecting the first housing 16 and the second housing 17. In this embodiment, two palletizing robots 6 are provided, respectively housed within the first housing 16 and the second housing 17. The first housing 16 serves as the driving end, and is equipped with a third rotary motor 19 and a fourth rotary motor 20. Both the first housing 16 and the second housing 17 contain a first gear 21, which meshes with a first rack 12 of the palletizing robot 6. The third rotary motor 19 is connected to the first gear 21 within the first housing 16 and the second housing 17. A first transmission rod 22 is provided between the first housing 16 and the second housing 17, connecting the first gear 21 within both housings.

[0031] The principle of the walking device 5 controlling the palletizing robot 6 to move vertically is as follows: the third rotary motor 19 directly drives the first gear 21 in the first housing 16 to rotate, and then drives the first gear 21 in the second housing 17 to rotate through the first transmission rod 22. The palletizing robot 6 is raised or lowered by the meshing of the first gear 21 with the first rack 12 of the palletizing robot 6.

[0032] The first housing 16 and the second housing 17 are each provided with a slider 23 on their outer walls, and the frame 1 is provided with a slide rail 24, with the slider 23 and the slide rail 24 being adapted to each other. The first housing 16 and the second housing 17 are each provided with a second gear 25, and the frame 1 is provided with a second rack 26, with the second rack 26 being adapted to each other. The walking device 5 also includes a transmission assembly, and the fourth rotary motor 20 is connected to the second gear 25 through the transmission assembly.

[0033] The specific transmission components include a third gear 27, a fourth gear 28, a second transmission rod 29, and a third transmission rod 30. The third gear 27 is connected to the fourth rotary motor 20, and the third gear 27 and the fourth gear 28 are connected via a synchronous belt. The fourth gear 28 is connected to the second gear 25 of the first housing 16 via the second transmission rod 29, and the fourth gear 28 is connected to the second gear 25 of the second housing 17 via the third transmission rod 30. In this embodiment, the fourth rotary motor 20 drives the second gear 25 to rotate through the transmission components. Since the second gear 25 meshes with the second rack 26 on the frame 1, it drives the slider 23 to slide on the slide rail 24, thereby adjusting the position of the traveling device 5.

[0034] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
