[0032] A tray splitting machine, a tray is formed with an insertion gap, a load bearing surface for placing goods and a force receiving surface for contacting the ground are formed on the tray, and the insertion gap is formed between the load bearing surface and the force receiving surface. The tray splitting machine comprises a frame 1, a driving member 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a fixing mechanism 4 and a moving mechanism 5. The frame 1 is formed with a first area and a second area. The moving mechanism 5 forms a conveying surface 51 for conveying the tray. The moving mechanism 5 is used to convey the tray in the first area to the second area. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to lift or lower a plurality of trays in the first area. The lifting mechanism 3 comprises a cylinder and a bearing plate. The cylinder is used to form an output end fixedly connected with the center line position of the bearing plate, and the bearing plate is formed with a bearing surface for contacting the bottom of the tray. The fixing mechanism 4 is used to form a support part 431. The driving member 2 forms a driving end 21. The driving end 21 is used to insert the support part 431 into the insertion gap and withdraw the support part 431 from the insertion gap. When the support part 431 is inserted into the insertion gap, a conveying gap 6 is formed between the tray not in contact with the conveying surface 51 and the conveying surface 51. When the support part 431 is withdrawn from the insertion gap, the bottom of the tray is in contact with the conveying surface 51. The trays arranged in an up-down manner can be placed in the first area. The worker controls the lifting mechanism 3 to make the bottom of the tray in contact with the conveying surface 51, and a plurality of trays not in contact with the conveying surface 51 are blocked by the support part 431, so that the trays not in contact with the conveying surface 51 are in the first area. The moving mechanism 5 can move the tray in contact with the conveying surface 51 from the first area to the second area, and then take out the single tray, saving time and effort.

[0033] Specifically, the tray splitting machine further comprises an arrangement mechanism 7. The arrangement mechanism 7 forms at least three contact surfaces 731 in contact with the edges of the plurality of trays. When the tray manufacturer produces the tray, the newly produced trays are stacked together for transportation and storage. However, during transportation, the bumps on the road may cause the plurality of trays stacked together to deviate from each other, and the insertion gap on the tray with positional deviation will also change position. When the tray is placed in the first area, it may cause the support part 431 to be unable to be inserted into the insertion gap, or the support part 431 to be unable to be completely inserted into the insertion gap, and the plurality of trays not in contact with the conveying surface 51 cannot be supported. The arrangement mechanism 7 is arranged to arrange the deviated trays in order, so that the support part 431 can be completely inserted into the insertion gap. The arrangement mechanism 7 is used to arrange the plurality of trays in the first area in order, so that the moving mechanism 5 can convey the single tray.

[0034] Specifically, the arrangement mechanism 7 comprises a first baffle 71, a second baffle 72, a third baffle 73, a first air cylinder 74 and a second air cylinder 75. The first baffle 71, the second baffle 72 and the third baffle 73 are used to form the contact surface 731. The second baffle 72 is arranged opposite to the third baffle 73. The first air cylinder 74 is connected with the second baffle 72 to make the second baffle 72 close to or away from the tray. The second air cylinder 75 is connected with the third baffle 73 to make the third baffle 73 close to or away from the tray. In the prior art, three baffles are mostly used to limit multiple trays, and the three baffles are fixed, the distance between the baffles cannot be adjusted, and when the multiple trays are offset from each other during transportation, the multiple trays cannot be placed between the three baffles. In the embodiment, the first air cylinder 74 drives the second baffle 72 to close to or away from the tray, and the second air cylinder 75 drives the third baffle 73 to close to or away from the tray, so that the space between the second baffle 72 and the third baffle 73 becomes larger or smaller, so that the multiple baffles which are offset from each other can be placed between the first baffle 71, the second baffle 72 and the third baffle 73, and at the same time, the second baffle 72 and the third baffle 73 can also align the multiple trays which are offset from each other when they are close to each other.

[0035] Specifically, the arrangement mechanism 7 further comprises a guide plate 76. The guide plate 76 is arranged opposite to the first baffle 71. The guide plate 76 is used to form a guide surface 761. The guide surface 761 forms an included angle of 50-70° with the conveying surface 51. The guide plate 76 is used to guide the multiple trays. A limiting surface 762 is further formed on the guide plate 76, the limiting surface 762 is below the conveying surface 51, and the limiting surface 762 is perpendicular to the conveying surface 51. When the lifting mechanism 3 drives the multiple trays to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, the edge of the tray will contact the guide surface 761, the guide surface 761 can change the position of the tray when it is descending, so that the edge of the tray gradually contacts the limiting surface 762, at this time, the tray can be placed at the correct position on the conveying surface 51, so that the moving mechanism 5 can convey a single tray from the first area to the second area.

[0036] Specifically, the rack 1 comprises a first side plate 121 and a second side plate 122. The first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122 each form a concave chamber 1221 and an opening in communication with the concave chamber 1221. The concave chamber 1221 is provided to facilitate the support part 431 to be located in the concave chamber 1221 when being pulled out, so as to prevent the support part 431 from interfering with the trays when the trays move in a direction perpendicular to the ground. The opening on the first side plate 121 is opposite to the opening on the second side plate 122. The fixing mechanism 4 comprises a fixing rod 41, a hinged rod 42 and a support plate 43. The support plate 43 is used to form the support part 431. The fixing rod 41 and the hinged rod 42 are both arranged in the concave chamber 1221. One end of the support plate 43, which is away from the support part 431, is rotationally connected with the fixing rod 41; one end of the electric push rod, which is away from the driving end 21, is rotationally connected with the hinged rod 42. The other end of the support plate 43 is used to be inserted into or pulled out of the insertion gap. The connection position of the support plate 43 and the fixing rod 41 is different from the connection position of the driving end 21. The electric push rod, the fixing rod 41, the hinged rod 42 and the support plate 43 are arranged in multiple groups. Part of them are located in the concave chamber 1221 formed by the first side plate 121, and the other part is located in the concave chamber 1221 formed by the second side plate 122.

[0037] Specifically, the rack 1 comprises a first fixed frame 11 and a second fixed frame 12. The moving mechanism 5 is arranged on the first fixed frame 11. The first fixed frame 11 is used to form the first area and the second area. The second fixed frame 12 is arranged with the lifting mechanism 3, the fixing mechanism 4 and the arrangement mechanism 7. The first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122 are formed on the second fixed frame 12. The first fixed frame 11 and the second fixed frame 12 are detachably connected. During transportation, the overall height of the rack 1 may exceed the height of the truck box, resulting in inconvenience during transportation. By splitting the rack 1 into the first fixed frame 11 and the second fixed frame 12, the overall height of the rack 1 is reduced, and during transportation, the second fixed frame 12 can be laid down so as to be placed in the truck box.

[0038] Specifically, the second fixed frame 12 forms a support plane 123. The support plane 123 is located below the conveying surface 51. The lifting mechanism 3 is arranged on the support plane 123.

[0039] Specifically, the first fixed frame 11 comprises support arms 111 and support rods 112. Two support arms 111 are provided, and at least four support rods 112 are provided. Chains are arranged on the two support arms 111, and the conveying surface 51 is formed on the chains. One end of the support rod 112 is in contact with the ground, and the other end of the support rod 112 is in sliding connection with the support arm 111. In the assembly process of the first fixed frame 11 and the second fixed frame 12, the support rod 112 can be disassembled from the support arm 111, then the support plane 123 on the second fixed frame 12 is located in the first area, and then the support rod 112 is installed on the support arm 111, which is simple to operate.

[0040] Specifically, a limiting plate 1111 is arranged on each of the two support arms 111. The limiting plate 1111 is used to prevent the tray from sliding off the conveying surface 51. The limiting plate 1111 is arranged to make the edge of the tray always located in the conveying surface 51, so that the tray is conveyed in a fixed conveying direction.

[0041] Workflow:

[0042] The tray includes a first tray, a second tray and a third tray. The first tray, the second tray and the third tray are stacked together and are put into the first area between the first baffle 71, the second baffle 72, the third baffle 73 and the guide plate 76 by controlling the first cylinder 74 to move the second baffle 72 away from the third baffle 73 and controlling the second cylinder 75 to move the third baffle 73 away from the second baffle 72. The bottom of the first tray is in contact with the bearing plate formed on the lifting mechanism 3. Then the first cylinder 74 and the second cylinder 75 are controlled to move the second baffle 72 and the third baffle 73 towards the first tray, the second tray and the third tray, and the contact surface 731 formed on the second baffle 72 and the third baffle 73 is in contact with the edge of the first tray, the second tray and the third tray, and the first tray, the second tray and the third tray are aligned. At this time, the driving member 2 drives the fixing mechanism 4 to move, so that the support part 431 formed on the fixing mechanism 4 can be inserted into the insertion gap formed on the second tray. The bearing plate formed on the lifting mechanism 3 can drive the first tray to move towards the ground, so that the first tray can be placed on the conveying surface 51 formed by the moving mechanism 5, and a gap is formed between the first tray and the bearing plate. The conveying mechanism can convey the first tray from the first area to the second area, and the second tray and the third tray in the first area will not fall to the ground due to the support of the support part 431, and the second tray and the third tray are still in the first area. After the moving mechanism 5 moves the first tray from the first area to the second area, the lifting mechanism 3 controls the bearing plate to move towards the second tray until the bearing plate is in contact with the bottom of the second tray. The driving member 2 controls the fixing mechanism 4 to move, so that the support part 431 formed on the fixing mechanism 4 is extracted from the insertion gap formed on the second tray, and the support part 431 is located in the concave cavity 1221. Then the lifting mechanism 3 drives the bearing plate to move towards the ground, so that the second tray can be placed on the conveying surface 51 formed by the moving mechanism 5, and a gap is formed between the second tray and the bearing plate. At this time, the driving member 2 controls the fixing mechanism 4 to move, so that the support part 431 formed on the fixing mechanism 4 can be inserted into the insertion gap formed on the third tray. At this time, the conveying mechanism can move the second tray from the first area to the second area, and so on.
