[0002] The winding machine is the receiving part of the roll material processing production line. It mechanically winds the raw materials into rolls. Usually, an empty material tray needs to be installed on the winding machine. The raw materials are wound onto the tray by rotating the empty material tray. When the tray is full, the next empty material tray needs to be replaced to continue winding. The full tray needs to be removed and collected for storage.

[0003] In existing technologies, full pallets usually need to be removed manually and then transported to the storage bin, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and does not improve work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic receiving tray mechanism to solve the technical problem of low working efficiency in the prior art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: an automatic receiving tray mechanism, including a hopper, a lifting component, and a tray component;

[0006] The hopper is used to store material trays, and the hopper includes a support plate for supporting the material trays;

[0007] The lifting assembly is located on the back of the hopper, and the lifting assembly is used to drive the pallet assembly to perform lifting movements;

[0008] The pallet assembly is capable of lifting and lowering, and at least a portion of the pallet assembly extends into the hopper. The extended portion of the pallet assembly is used to support and stack pallets.

[0009] When the pallet assembly is at the top of the hopper, it is used to catch the falling pallet, and the pallet falling on the pallet assembly is tilted outward. After the pallet assembly carries the pallet down, the pallet on the pallet assembly contacts the support plate or the pallet on the support plate. The pallet assembly continues to descend, the pallet assembly separates from the pallet, and the pallet tilts outward onto the support plate.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the pallet assembly includes a lifting plate, two mounting brackets, and two trays;

[0011] The lifting plate is connected to the lifting assembly. The two mounting brackets are respectively located at both ends of the lifting plate. The two trays are respectively located on the two mounting brackets. The trays are used to receive the material trays, and the trays are inclined so that the material trays falling on the trays are inclined.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the pallet has an inclined surface and a limiting portion, the inclined surface contacting the circumferential surface of the tray and the limiting portion contacting the outer surface of the tray.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the mounting bracket is L-shaped, with one side arm of the mounting bracket connected to the end of the lifting plate and the other side arm of the mounting bracket connected to the support plate. A first strip-shaped hole is provided on one side arm of the mounting bracket, which extends horizontally and is connected to the lifting plate by using fasteners passing through the first strip-shaped hole.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the lifting assembly includes a drive motor, a first synchronous pulley, a second synchronous pulley, a guide rail, a slider, and a mounting base;

[0015] The drive motor is located at the lower end of the hopper, the first synchronous pulley is mounted on the drive shaft of the drive motor, the second synchronous pulley is located at the upper end of the hopper, and the second synchronous pulley and the first synchronous pulley are connected by a synchronous belt;

[0016] The guide rail is vertically arranged, the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail, the mounting base is disposed on the slider, the mounting base is connected to the timing belt, and the mounting base is connected to the tray assembly.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the mounting base is provided with a clamping block, and the timing belt is located between the mounting base and the clamping block.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the lower end of the hopper has a first sensor, which is electrically connected to the drive motor, and the clamping block is provided with a baffle plate that can trigger the first sensor.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the hopper further includes a fixed baffle and two side plates, the two side plates being located on both sides of the fixed baffle, and the support plate being located at the lower end of the fixed baffle.

[0020] In one possible implementation, a limiting baffle is provided on the side plate, and the limiting baffle is perpendicular to the side plate.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the side plate is provided with a mounting block having a second strip hole extending horizontally, which is connected to the limiting baffle by using a fastener passing through the second strip hole.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: after the material tray is full of roll material, it falls onto the pallet assembly. Then, the lifting assembly drives the pallet assembly to descend. When the material tray comes into contact with the support plate, the material tray stops descending, while the pallet assembly continues to descend. Subsequently, the pallet assembly separates from the material tray, and the material tray is tilted onto the support plate of the hopper, completing the material tray receiving work. The whole process is completed automatically, saving time and labor, and greatly improving the material tray collection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure).

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0036] like Figure 1-5 An automatic tray receiving mechanism is shown, including a hopper 2, a lifting assembly 3, and a tray assembly 4. The hopper 2 is used to store trays and includes a support plate 21 for supporting the trays. The lifting assembly 3 is located on the back of the hopper 2 and is used to drive the tray assembly 4 to move up and down. The tray assembly 4 can move up and down, and at least a part of the structure of the tray assembly 4 extends into the hopper 2. The extended part of the tray assembly 4 is used to support and stack trays. When the tray assembly 4 is at the upper end of the hopper 2, it is used to catch the falling trays, and the trays falling on the tray assembly 4 are tilted outwards. When the tray assembly 4 descends carrying the trays, the trays on the tray assembly 4 come into contact with the support plate 21 or the trays on the support plate 21. The tray assembly 4 continues to descend, and the tray assembly 4 separates from the trays, and the trays tilt outwards onto the support plate 21. It should be noted that the system also includes cabinet 1. Cabinet 1 is only used to provide the installation foundation for the various components of this automatic receiving tray mechanism. The hopper 2 is located below the winding mechanism. After the tray has collected all the raw materials, the winding mechanism releases the tray, which falls directly onto the pallet assembly 4. The pallet assembly 4 lowers the tray with the tray. When the tray comes into contact with the support plate 21 or the trays on it, the tray stops falling, while the pallet assembly 4 continues to fall and separates from the tray. After separation, the tray tilts onto the support plate 21 or the trays on it, so that the trays on the support plate 21 are stacked in the height direction. In addition, the support surface of the support plate 21 is inclined, and the height of the end of the support plate 21 away from the cabinet 1 is higher than the height of the end of the support plate 21 close to the cabinet 1, so that the trays on the support plate 21 are all pressed against the inner wall of the hopper 2 under the action of gravity, preventing the trays from sliding out of the hopper 2 due to inertia when tilting, and ensuring the stability of the trays in the hopper 2.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: after the material tray is full of rolled material, it falls onto the pallet assembly 4. Then, the lifting assembly 3 drives the pallet assembly 4 to descend. When the material tray comes into contact with the support plate 21, the material tray stops descending, while the pallet assembly 4 continues to descend. Subsequently, the pallet assembly 4 separates from the material tray, and the material tray is tilted onto the support plate 21 of the hopper 2, completing the material tray receiving work. The whole process is completed automatically, saving time and effort, and greatly improving the material tray collection efficiency.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the pallet assembly 4 includes a lifting plate 41, two mounting brackets 42, and two trays 43. The lifting plate 41 is connected to the lifting assembly 3. The two mounting brackets 42 are respectively located at both ends of the lifting plate 41, and the two trays 43 are respectively located on the two mounting brackets 42. The trays 43 are used to receive the trays, and the trays 43 are inclined so that the trays falling on the trays 43 are tilted. It should be noted that the middle part of the lifting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 36. The trays 43 extend into the hopper 2. When the material is dropped, the pallet assembly 4 rises to the lower end of the hopper 2, and both trays 43 are located directly below the tray. The tray can fall directly onto the trays 43. The inclined arrangement of the trays 43 can also tilt the trays falling on them, giving the trays a pre-tilting action so that after the trays are separated from the trays 43, the trays continue to tilt onto the support plate 21.

[0039] Furthermore, the pallet 43 has an inclined surface 431 and a limiting part 432. The inclined surface 431 contacts the circumferential surface of the tray, and the limiting part 432 contacts the outer surface of the tray. It should be noted that after the tray falls onto the pallet 43, the outer circumferential surface of the tray contacts the inclined surface 431 of the pallet 43, avoiding damage to the tray from sharp right-angled edges. The inclined surface 431 also acts as a buffer to reduce the impact force on the tray and improve its service life. The pallet 43 is also L-shaped overall. Since the tray is inclined on the pallet 43, the limiting part 432 can limit the tray and prevent it from sliding off the pallet 43, thus ensuring the stability of the tray.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3In one possible implementation, the mounting bracket 42 is L-shaped. One side arm of the mounting bracket 42 is connected to the end of the lifting plate 41, and the other side arm of the mounting bracket 42 is connected to the support plate 43. A first strip-shaped hole 421 is provided on one side arm of the mounting bracket 42, which extends horizontally. The mounting bracket 42 is connected to the lifting plate 41 by using fasteners passing through the first strip-shaped hole 421. It should be noted that the mounting bracket 42 and the lifting plate 41 are connected by fasteners, which can be bolts. Since different models of material trays have different sizes, the support plate 43 also needs to be adjusted accordingly when changing to different specifications of material trays. The user only needs to loosen the fasteners and then move the mounting bracket 42 horizontally to adjust the distance between the two mounting brackets 42, thereby adjusting the distance between the two support plates 43 to accommodate material trays of different sizes.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the lifting assembly 3 includes a drive motor 31, a first synchronous pulley 32, a second synchronous pulley 33, a guide rail 34, a slider 35, and a mounting base 36. The drive motor 31 is located at the lower end of the hopper 2, the first synchronous pulley 32 is mounted on the drive shaft of the drive motor 31, the second synchronous pulley 33 is located at the upper end of the hopper 2, and the second synchronous pulley 33 is connected to the first synchronous pulley 32 via a synchronous belt. The guide rail 34 is vertically arranged, the slider 35 is slidably connected to the guide rail 34, the mounting base 36 is mounted on the slider 35, the mounting base 36 is connected to the synchronous belt, and the mounting base 36 is connected to the pallet assembly 4. It should be noted that the drive motor 31 is preferably a stepper motor. The drive motor 31, the second synchronous pulley 33, and the guide rail 34 are all fixedly mounted on the cabinet 1. When the tray assembly 4 needs to be raised or lowered, the drive motor 31 drives the synchronous belt to rotate. During the rotation, the synchronous belt drives the mounting base 36 to move up and down. The guide rail 34 can guide the slider 35. Furthermore, the cooperation between the slider 35 and the guide rail 34 can make the movement of the mounting base 36 more stable and smooth, thereby improving the stability of the tray assembly 4 when it is raised or lowered.

[0042] Furthermore, the mounting base 36 is provided with a clamping block 37, and the timing belt is located between the mounting base 36 and the clamping block 37. It should be noted that the clamping block 37 and the mounting base 36 are fixedly connected by bolts, and the timing belt is clamped between the clamping block 37 and the mounting base 36 so that the timing belt drives the mounting base 36 to move together when it moves. In addition, the clamping block 37 has multiple clamping strips evenly spaced to improve the tightness of the connection between the timing belt and the mounting base 36.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2In one possible implementation, the lower end of the hopper 2 has a first sensor 11, which is electrically connected to the drive motor 31. A baffle 38 is provided on the clamping block 37, which can trigger the first sensor 11. It should be noted that the first sensor 11 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the cabinet 1. When the pallet assembly 4 descends to its limit position, the baffle 38 triggers the first sensor 11, thereby stopping the drive motor 31. Additionally, a second sensor 12 is also provided on the cabinet, positioned near the upper end of the hopper. Both the cabinet 1 and the fixed baffle 22 have through holes corresponding to the second sensor 12, allowing the second sensor 12 to directly illuminate the inside of the hopper 2. When the pallets are stacked to a certain height inside the hopper 2, the pallets trigger the second sensor 12, indicating that the hopper 2 is full, thus reminding the user to move the pallets from the hopper 2.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 In one possible implementation, the hopper 2 further includes a fixed baffle 22 and two side plates 23, with the two side plates 23 located on both sides of the fixed baffle 22, and a support plate 21 located at the lower end of the fixed baffle 22. It should be noted that the fixed baffle 22 and the two side plates 23 are all fixed to the cabinet 1 by bolts. Since the supporting surface of the support plate 21 is inclined inward, the tray approaches the fixed baffle 22 under its own weight and abuts against it. There is a gap between the side of the fixed baffle 22 and the side plates 23, and the support plate 43 extends into the hopper 2 through the gap and moves up and down within the gap.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 In one possible implementation, a limiting baffle 24 is provided on the side plate 23, and the limiting baffle 24 is perpendicular to the side plate 23. It should be noted that the limiting baffle 24 is perpendicular to the side plate 23, extends into the hopper 2, and the side wall surface of the limiting baffle 24 can abut against the circumferential surface of the material tray to limit the material tray and ensure the stability of the material tray after it falls into the hopper 2.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In one possible implementation, the side plate 23 is provided with a mounting block 25, which has a second strip-shaped hole 251 extending horizontally. A fastener passes through the second strip-shaped hole 251 and connects to the limiting baffle 24. It should be noted that since different models of material trays have different sizes, when changing to different specifications of material trays, the limiting baffle 24 needs to be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of material trays. When adjusting the limiting baffle 24, the user only needs to loosen the fastener and then move the limiting baffle 24 horizontally to adjust its position, thus allowing the limiting baffle 24 to adapt to different sized material trays. Furthermore, the side plate 23 has a through hole for the limiting baffle 24 to pass through, allowing the limiting baffle 24 to extend and retract within the hopper 2.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
