[0002] In traditional modern industrial production, especially in industries involving the use of baking pans such as food baking and electronics manufacturing, efficient material feeding from baking pans is a key step in the production process.
[0003] This manual material handling method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, labor costs remain high. With the continuous rise in labor costs, hiring a large number of workers to handle baking tray handling and material handling places a heavy economic burden on enterprises. At the same time, the efficiency of manual operation is relatively low, making it difficult to meet the growing production scale and output demands of enterprises. During peak production seasons or peak order periods, the speed of manual material handling often becomes a bottleneck restricting the improvement of overall production efficiency.
[0004] On the other hand, manually handling baking trays poses significant safety hazards. Since the trays may be exposed to high temperatures during production, workers could easily suffer burns or other accidents if they are not careful while handling them. Furthermore, prolonged, repetitive, high-intensity handling can easily lead to worker fatigue, further increasing the probability of operational errors and accidents. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, an automatic baking tray blanking machine comprises a first box 1 and a second box 2, the first box 1 and the second box 2 are provided with a support table 9 on one side, the first box 1 and the second box 2 are fixedly provided with a track 12, and the baking tray 8 is arranged on the top of the support table 9; two blanking assembly lines 7 are arranged on the top of the support table 9, and the two blanking assembly lines 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the support table 9; two blanking guide rails 6 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the track 12, and two inductors 5 are arranged on the edge of the track 12.
[0025] The baking tray 8 is first placed on the top of the support table 9. During operation, the baking tray 8 can be transferred from the support table 9 to the blanking assembly line 7 and then conveyed by the blanking assembly line 7. Subsequently, the baking tray 8 is conveyed to the blanking guide rail 6 on the track 12. When the baking tray 8 moves to the position of the inductor 5 along the blanking guide rail 6, the inductor 5 can sense the position of the baking tray 8 and feed back a signal to the control system, so that the position of the baking tray 8 is accurate each time. According to the received signal, the control system can further automatically process the subsequent operation of the baking tray 8, such as connecting the subsequent blanking process, so as to realize the automatic blanking of the baking tray 8, reduce manual intervention, improve production efficiency, and reduce production cost and labor cost. The automatic equipment reduces the dependence on manual labor and reduces labor costs.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 The first box 1 and the second box 2 are symmetrically arranged, the first box 1 and the second box 2 are fixedly provided with the track 12, and the sliding device 11 is slidably connected to the track 12.
[0027] In the automatic tray 8 unloading machine, the first box 1 and the second box 2 are symmetrically arranged to form a stable equipment frame, providing solid support for the overall operation. The track 12 is fixedly installed between the two, serving as the guide basis for the movement of the sliding device 11. The double unloading bin 4 and the unloading vehicle 3 are designed to enable the tray 8 to be stacked and unloaded
[0028] At the beginning of work, the tray 8 is placed at a specific starting position. The sliding device 11 slides along the track 12 and moves to the tray 8 position according to the preset program or external instructions. After reaching the specified position, the mechanical hand clamp 10 equipped on the sliding device 11 is activated, and the tray 8 is firmly grabbed by the mechanical hand clamp 10 through clamping, adsorbing, etc.
[0029] Subsequently, the sliding device 11 slides along the track 12 again to transport the grabbed tray 8 to the unloading position. In this process, the symmetrically arranged first box 1 and second box 2 ensure the stability of the track 12, enabling the sliding device 11 to run smoothly and avoiding shaking or deviation due to unstable structure, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the tray 8 transportation process.
[0030] After reaching the unloading position, the grabbing mechanism of the sliding device 11 releases the tray 8, completing the unloading operation. Then, the sliding device 11 slides along the track 12 back to the starting position, preparing for the next round of tray 8 grabbing and unloading work. This process is repeated to realize continuous operation of the automatic tray 8 unloading.
[0031] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the top of the sliding device 11 is installed with a lifting device 13, the bottom of the lifting device 13 is installed with a mechanical hand clamp 10, and the extension end of the lifting device 13 is fixedly connected with the mechanical hand clamp 10.
[0032] The baking tray 8 is transported to a specific unloading area, the sliding device 11 is in the initial position, the lifting device 13 is in the retracted state, and the mechanical hand clamp 10 is in the open state. The control system issues instructions to drive the sliding device 11 to slide along the track 12, moving it towards the position where the baking tray 8 is placed. During the sliding process, the track 12 provides a stable moving path for the sliding device 11, ensuring that it can accurately reach the target position. When the sliding device 11 reaches directly above the baking tray 8, the movement stops. After the sliding device 11 is in place, the control system controls the extension of the telescopic end of the lifting device 13 downward. Since the telescopic end of the lifting device 13 is fixedly connected with the mechanical hand clamp 10, the mechanical hand clamp 10 will descend with the extension of the telescopic end until it is close to the baking tray 8. When the mechanical hand clamp 10 reaches the appropriate grabbing position, the control system controls the mechanical hand clamp 10 to close tightly around the baking tray 8. After the mechanical hand clamp 10 successfully clamps the baking tray 8, the telescopic end of the lifting device 13 retracts, driving the mechanical hand clamp 10 and the clamped baking tray 8 to rise to a certain height, avoiding collision between the baking tray 8 and surrounding objects during movement. Then, the sliding device 11 slides along the track 12 again to transport the baking tray 8 to the pre-set unloading position. After unloading is completed, the telescopic end of the lifting device 13 retracts, causing the mechanical hand clamp 10 to rise to the initial height. The sliding device 11 slides along the track 12 back to the initial position, preparing for the next unloading work and enhancing safety and reducing injuries: the automatic equipment reduces the workers' contact with dangerous links, reducing the risk of injury.
[0033] Referring to Figures 1-2 The first box body 1 and the second box body 2 are both internally provided with an unloading bin 4, and the unloading bin 4 is internally provided with an unloading trolley 3.
[0034] The mechanical hand clamp 10 opens to release the baking tray 8, which falls into the unloading bin 4 inside the first box body 1 and is placed on the unloading trolley 3. The unloading trolley 3 is designed with a reasonable bearing structure, which can stably receive the baking tray 8 and ensure that the baking tray 8 does not shift or fall during unloading. As the unloading process continues, multiple baking trays 8 are sequentially placed on the unloading trolley 3 and gradually stacked. When the baking trays 8 on the unloading trolley 3 are stacked to a certain number and reach the pre-set full load, the moving mechanism of the unloading trolley 3 is started. This moving mechanism can be driven by a built-in motor or pulled by an external traction device. The unloading trolley 3 moves along the pre-set track 12 or path in the unloading bin 4 to the outlet position of the unloading bin 4, so as to transport the full load of baking trays 8 out for subsequent processing. At the same time, the empty unloading trolley 3 is timely supplemented to the initial position in the unloading bin 4 to continue the new unloading task.
[0035] Referring to Figure 2 The inner wall of the unloading bin 4 is provided with a clamping device 15.
[0036] The clamping device 15 can limit the position of the feeding trolley 3 in the warehouse, ensure that it can be accurately stopped at the preset receiving position every time, and make the baking tray 8 accurately placed on the feeding trolley 3, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the feeding. During the feeding process of the baking tray 8, the clamping device 15 can tightly fix the feeding trolley 3 to prevent it from shaking or moving due to the impact force of the falling baking tray 8 or other external forces, ensure the smooth progress of the feeding process, and avoid the baking tray 8 from falling or being placed irregularly due to the shaking of the feeding trolley 3.
[0037] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the top of the support table 9 is fixedly installed with a protective frame 14, which is in the shape of U.
[0038] The protective frame 14 can prevent the baking tray 8 or other parts from flying out during the feeding process, causing harm to the surrounding equipment and personnel, and play a safety protection role. The U-shaped structure can form a barrier in three directions to the articles on the support table 9, avoid the tools, accessories and other articles placed on the support table 9 from falling accidentally, and be conducive to keeping the working area clean and orderly.
[0039] Referring to Figure 2 , the mechanical hand clamp 10 is fixedly installed with an anti-skid layer.
[0040] The anti-skid layer can increase the friction between the mechanical hand clamp 10 and the baking tray 8, so that the mechanical hand clamp 10 can hold the baking tray 8 more firmly, prevent the baking tray 8 from slipping during the carrying process, and ensure the stability and accuracy of the feeding process. The anti-skid layer is usually made of soft and elastic material, which can provide sufficient friction without damaging the surface of the baking tray 8 when clamping the baking tray 8, thereby avoiding scratches, deformation and other damages on the surface of the baking tray 8 caused by excessive clamping force or hard contact surface.
[0041] Referring to Figure 1 , the two sensors 5 are symmetrically arranged.
[0042] Through the simultaneous detection of the two symmetrical sensors 5, the detection results can be verified with each other. If one of the sensors 5 fails or is interfered, the other sensor 5 can still work normally, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire detection system and reducing the possibility of misjudgment and omission.
