Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palletizing machine production technology, specifically to a vertical column for a palletizing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A palletizer automatically stacks pre-packed cartons onto pallets or stacks (wooden or plastic) in a specific arrangement, allowing for multi-layer stacking. The stacked cartons are then pushed out for easy forklift transport to the warehouse. This equipment uses PLC and touchscreen control for intelligent operation and management, making it simple and easy to learn. It significantly reduces labor and labor intensity. There are three common types of palletizers: gantry palletizers, column palletizers, and robotic arm palletizers. Column palletizers are particularly common, and existing column palletizers consist of a vertical column and a stacking frame. The palletizing frame is installed in front of the vertical column with multiple bolts. It can grab goods and move them back and forth. The vertical column itself can rotate 360 ​​degrees by the motor below, and can also move the palletizing frame up and down by the internal motor. The palletizing function is achieved through the cooperation of the palletizing frame and the vertical column. In traditional palletizing machines, the vertical column and the palletizing frame are fixed with a large number of bolts. Different palletizing frames need to be replaced when handling different goods. The disassembly and assembly of the palletizing frame requires the disassembly and assembly of a large number of bolts, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, we propose a vertical column for palletizing machines. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a vertical column for a palletizer, which is equipped with a quick-release mechanism. The side clamping block and the lower clamping block can be moved simultaneously by rotating a gear.

The worm gear and the worm wheel are meshed together to provide a stable drive for the assembly and disassembly of the palletizing rack.

[0007] Furthermore, the quick-release mechanism also includes a limiting component, which includes a limiting block, a limiting post, and a limiting hole. The limiting block is slidably connected to the upper inner end of the moving block, the limiting posts are all located at the lower end of the limiting block, and the limiting holes are all opened at the upper rear side of the side clamping block. The limiting posts are all installed in conjunction with the vertically adjacent limiting holes to provide a limiting effect for the assembly and disassembly of the palletizing rack.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a dust cover, which is installed on the front side of the column. The lower end of the dust cover is fixedly connected to the upper end of the moving block, which can prevent dust and other impurities from entering the equipment.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a microcontroller, which is located in the middle of the right side of the column. The input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to an external power supply to provide control for the palletizing operation.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This vertical column for palletizing machines has the following advantages:

[0013] The rotation of the gear drives the side clamping blocks and the lower clamping block to move synchronously. When the gear rotates forward, the two side clamping blocks move backward and the lower clamping block moves forward, which fixes and supports the external palletizing frame. When the gear rotates in reverse, the two side clamping blocks move forward and the lower clamping block moves backward. With the upward movement of the moving block, the external palletizing frame can be quickly removed. The quick assembly and disassembly of the external palletizing frame is achieved by the squeezing of the side clamping blocks and the support of the lower clamping blocks, which improves the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the external palletizing frame.

The quick assembly and disassembly of the palletizing frame is achieved by the squeezing of the side clamping block 51 and the support of the lower clamping block 52.

[0022] The working principle of the vertical column for a palletizer provided by this utility model is as follows: When using the vertical column of the palletizer, the base 1 is fixed on the ground, and then the external load-bearing seat is fixed to the outer surface of the base 1 to increase the support area of ​​the palletizer. Through the stability of the palletizer, when different external palletizing frames need to be installed, an external transport vehicle is used to move the external palletizing frame below the moving block 3. At this time, the clamping area formed between the moving block 3 and the side clamping block 51 is vertically adjacent to the mounting seat of the external palletizing frame. The microcontroller 13 controls the operation of the second motor 6, and the output shaft of the second motor 6 drives the second gear 7 to rotate. Since the second gear 7 is meshed with the rack plate 8, As gear 7 rotates, moving block 3 moves downward, and the mounting base of the external palletizing frame enters the clamping area until the lower end of the mounting base is flush with the upper end of the lower clamping block 52. At this point, microcontroller 13 controls motor 571 to operate. The output shaft of motor 571 drives worm 572 to rotate, and worm wheel 573 also rotates, driving shaft 53 and gear 54 to rotate. Simultaneously, as gear 54 rotates, the two side clamping blocks 51 move backward, and the lower clamping block 52 moves forward. The upper end of the lower clamping block 52 contacts the lower end of the mounting base of the external palletizing frame. The two side clamping blocks 51 fix the mounting base of the external palletizing frame, and the lower clamping block 52... The mounting base of the palletizing rack provides support. When the side clamping block 51 moves into place, the limiting hole 583 and the limiting post 582 are also vertically adjacent. The limiting block 581 moves downward under the influence of gravity, and the limiting post 582 inserts into the limiting hole 583, thus limiting the side clamping block 51. At this time, the installation of the external palletizing rack is complete. Then, the external palletizing rack can be moved up and down by the meshing of gear 7 and rack plate 8. When it is necessary to rotate the column 2, the microcontroller 13 controls the motor 9 to operate. The output shaft of the motor 9 drives the gear 10 to rotate. Since the gear 10 is meshed with the internal gear ring 11, the internal gear ring rotates as the gear 10 rotates. 11 and column 2 rotate simultaneously around the center of the internal gear ring 11. When the external palletizing frame needs to be disassembled, motor 2 6 drives the moving block 3 and the external palletizing frame to move down until the external palletizing frame is placed above the external transport vehicle. The upward movement of the limiting block 581 causes the limiting post 582 to leave the limiting hole 583, releasing the limiting effect above the side clamping block 51. Motor 1 571 reverses and drives gear 1 54 to rotate. The two side clamping blocks 51 move forward and the lower clamping block 52 moves backward. After the lower clamping block 52 returns to its original position, motor 2 6 drives the moving block 3 to move up, leaving the external palletizing frame above the external transport vehicle, thus achieving quick disassembly and assembly of the external palletizing frame.
