[0023] In related technologies, due to cost considerations, companies use manual methods to stack and destacking the pallet boxes, which results in very low efficiency and makes it impossible to complete the stacking and destacking of items in a short time.

[0024] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a stacking and destacking machine that can automatically complete the stacking and destacking of material frames.

[0025] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a stacking and unstacking machine according to an embodiment of this application.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 A stacking and destacking machine 10 includes a frame 100 and a stacking / destacking device 200. It should be noted that the frame 100 is the core framework of the stacking and destacking machine 10, and all functional components of the stacking and destacking machine 10 are mounted on the frame 100. The stacking / destacking device 200 is used to automate the stacking and destacking of material frames.

[0028] The chip removal device 200 includes two chip removal machines 210, which are symmetrically mounted on the frame 100 about the center of the frame 100. Each chip removal machine 210 includes a guide rod 211, a final stroke cylinder 212, a first slide plate 213, a mid-stroke cylinder 214, a second slide plate 215, a clamping cylinder 216, and a clamping plate 217. The guide rod 211 is mounted on the frame 100, and the final stroke cylinder 212 is mounted on the frame 100. The first slide plate 213 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 211 and is connected to the drive shaft of the final stroke cylinder 212. The intermediate stroke cylinder 214 is mounted on the second slide plate 215 and is mounted on the guide rod 211. The second slide plate 215 is connected to the drive shaft of the intermediate stroke cylinder 214. The clamping cylinder 216 is mounted on the second slide plate 215 and the clamping plate 217 is connected to the drive shaft of the clamping cylinder 216.

[0029] The 210 stacking and destacking machine can stack and destacking material frames. The principles of these two processes are explained in detail below:

[0030] 1) Palletizing: When the Nth material frame is fed into the frame 100 (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1), the final stroke cylinder 212 drives the first slide plate 213 to move along the guide rod 211, moving the mid-stroke cylinder 214 to a predetermined position. Simultaneously, the mid-stroke cylinder 214 drives the second slide plate 215 to move along the guide rod 211, moving the clamping cylinder 216 to a predetermined position. Then, the clamping cylinder 216 drives the clamping plate 217 to move closer to the Nth material frame, so that the clamping plate 217 contacts the material frame. The final stroke cylinder 212 drives the first slide plate 213 to reset, and the mid-stroke cylinder 214 drives the second slide plate 215 to reset, lifting the Nth material frame into a suspended state. When the (N+1)th material frame is fed into the frame 100, the mid-stroke cylinder 214 again drives the second slide plate 215 to move downwards, placing the Nth material frame on the (N+1)th material frame. At this point, clamping cylinder 216 drives clamping plate 217 to move away from the Nth material frame, final stroke cylinder 212 drives first slide plate 213 to move downward, clamping cylinder 216 drives clamping plate 217 to move closer to the (N+1)th material frame, final stroke cylinder 212 drives first slide plate 213 to reset, and mid-stroke cylinder 214 drives second slide plate 215 to reset, so that the (N+1)th material frame with the Nth material frame is lifted and placed in a suspended state. This process is repeated to complete the stacking of the material frames.

[0031] 2) Destacking: The destacking principle is similar to the stacking principle. When the entire stack of material frames arrives at the frame 100, the mid-range cylinder 214 drives the second slide plate 215 to move downwards, and the clamping cylinder 216 drives the clamping plate 217 to move towards the second-to-last material frame so that the clamping plate 217 contacts the material frame. Then, the mid-range cylinder 214 resets the second slide plate 215, and the second-to-last material frame (at this time, several material frames are stacked on top of the second-to-last material frame) is lifted and suspended. After the last material frame is conveyed by the external material transfer device and "makes room", the final-range cylinder 212 drives the first slide plate 213 to move downwards, and the mid-range cylinder 214 drives the second slide plate 215 to move downwards, placing the second-to-last material frame onto the external material transfer device. Repeating the above actions can achieve destacking of the material frames.

[0032] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The stacker / destacking machine 10 also includes an alarm light 300, which is mounted on the frame 100. It should be noted that the alarm light 300 serves as a warning system, promptly alerting operators to perform maintenance and repairs when the stacker / destacking machine 10 malfunctions.

[0033] Further, please refer to Figure 1The stacking and unstacking stacker 10 also includes several foot cups 400, each foot cup 400 being installed at the bottom of the frame 100 and evenly distributed. It should be noted that the foot cups 400 can improve the support of the frame 100, extend the service life of the frame 100, and increase the load-bearing capacity of the frame 100.

[0034] The application scenarios of the stacker / destacking machine 10 can be flexibly configured according to different user purposes. The aforementioned stacker / destacking machine 10 is often used in conjunction with a material conveying device as a feeding equipment. For example... Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a feeding device 20 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 A feeding device 20, characterized in that it includes the above-mentioned stacking and unstacking dual-purpose stacker 10 and material transfer device 30;

[0036] The material conveying device 30 includes a material conveying base 31, a chain belt (not shown), a material conveying motor (not shown), and several conveying rods 32. The stacking and unstacking machine 10 is located on the discharge end 31a and / or the loading end 31b of the material conveying base 31. Each conveying rod 32 is mounted on the material conveying base 31 and each conveying rod 32 can rotate. The chain belt is connected to each conveying rod 32 for transmission. The material conveying motor is mounted on the material conveying base 31, and the drive shaft of the material conveying motor is connected to one of the conveying rods 32.

[0037] Therefore, it should be noted that when the material conveying device 30 starts working, the material conveying motor outputs power to rotate the conveyor rod 32 connected to it. Driven by the chain belt, all the conveyor rods 32 located on the material conveying seat 31 rotate. At this time, when the material frame is placed on the conveyor rod 32, the material frame can be conveyed to the frame 100 of the stacking and destacking machine 10. Subsequently, the stacking and destacking machine 10 is used to stack or destacking the material frame. When the stacking and destacking machine 10 is located at the discharge end 31a of the material conveying seat 31, it performs stacking on the material frame; when the stacking and destacking machine 10 is located at the loading end 31b of the material conveying seat 31, it performs destacking on the material frame. The working principle of the stacking and destacking machine 10 will not be described in detail here; please refer to the principle of the stacking and destacking machine 10 mentioned above.

[0038] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The material conveyor 31 has an auxiliary discharge platform 32c at its discharge end. It should be noted that the auxiliary discharge platform 32c is used to assist in discharging the entire material frame.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 2The feeding device 20 also includes a material blocking device 40, which includes a material blocking cylinder (not shown) and a stop block 41. The material blocking cylinder is mounted on the material transfer base 31, and the stop block 41 is located between two adjacent conveyor rods and is connected to the drive shaft of the material blocking cylinder. It should be noted that the material blocking device 40 enables sequential feeding or unloading of the material frame.
