Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaping equipment technology, specifically to a four-sided shaping device for palletized goods in vertical warehouses. Background Technology

[0002] In today's diversified logistics warehouse development, especially in unmanned warehouses, cargo tilt monitoring devices are commonly used for cargo flow and storage. These devices use reflective sensors to detect whether goods on pallets are tilted. When goods are tilted, it can lead to the following problems: firstly, stacked goods may deform, hindering transportation and storage; secondly, stored goods are prone to tipping over, causing scattering and damage. Therefore, when tilting occurs, the conveyor line must be stopped, and goods must be manually rearranged. Only after confirming that the goods are neatly arranged and can pass through all warehouse doors can the conveyor line be restarted. This method is extremely inefficient, and placing goods on the conveyor line poses a significant safety hazard and is prone to accidents. Utility Model Content

The first guide rail 702, the first slider 703 and the first connector 704 are provided to ensure that the movement of the first push plate 705 is smoother.

[0033] The front and rear sides of the frame 6 are respectively equipped with a swing angle clamping device, which includes a swing angle mechanism 801 and a second flat pushing mechanism.

[0034] The swing mechanism 801 includes a swing cylinder 8011, a swing connector 8012, and a rotating shaft 8013. The rotating shaft 8013 is vertically arranged, and both ends of the rotating shaft 8013 are rotatably connected to the frame 6.

The movable end of the swing cylinder 8011 is rotatably connected to the swing connector 8012, and the other end of the swing cylinder 8011 is rotatably connected to the frame 6. The swing cylinder 8011 is used to drive the rotating shaft 8013 to rotate.

[0035] The second flat-pushing mechanism includes a mounting plate 8021, a second cylinder 8022, and a second push plate 8026. One end of the horizontally arranged mounting plate 8021 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8013. The second cylinder 8022 is arranged on the mounting plate 8021. The movable end of the second cylinder 8022 is connected to the vertically arranged second push plate 8026. The second push plate 8026 is used to level the goods 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the position of the second flat-pushing mechanism can be controlled by the tilting mechanism 801, allowing the second flat-pushing mechanism to move closer to or further away from the goods 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the second guide rail 8023 is consistent with the movement direction of the second push plate 8026. The second guide rail 8023, the second slider 8024, and the second connecting member 8025 are provided to ensure smoother movement of the second push plate 8026. Second guide rails 8023 are provided on both sides of the second cylinder 8022.

[0039] The clamping and leveling device 4 also includes a pallet positioning mechanism installed at the bottom of the frame 6. The pallet positioning mechanism includes several positioning cylinders 9. The movable end of the positioning cylinder 9 can abut against the side of the pallet 2 or be inserted into a positioning hole pre-set on the pallet 2. How to set the positioning hole that matches the movable end of the positioning cylinder 9 is prior art and is not shown in the figure.

[0040] In this embodiment, the movable ends of the positioning cylinders 9 on the clamping devices 4 on both sides simultaneously abut against the side of the tray 2 or are inserted into the positioning holes pre-set on the tray 2, which can clamp the tray 2, fix the position of the tray 2, and avoid the impact of the movement of the tray 2 on the shaping effect.

[0041] The shaping device also includes protective railings 10 spaced apart on the outside of the clamping flat device 4 and air tanks 11 for supplying air to various cylinders inside the clamping flat device 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, the guardrail 10 is used for protection to prevent workers from coming into contact with the machine or goods 3 and causing injury.

[0043] The top of the frame 6 on the clamping flat device 4 on both sides of the conveyor line 1 is connected by a connecting rod 5.

[0044] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 5 is used to restrict the position of the two clamping and leveling devices 4, preventing changes in the position of the clamping and leveling devices 4 from affecting the leveling effect. The bottom of the frame 6 can be secured with bolts.

[0045] It should be noted that, as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, two clamping and flattening devices 4 with similar structures are provided. The clamping and flattening devices 4 on both sides of the conveyor line 1 are slightly different in structure. Specifically, the frames 6 are different, but the structure of the frames 6 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The number and structure of the first flattening devices are different, but their functions are basically the same. The clamping and flattening device 4 on the left side includes two first flattening devices arranged vertically and vertically. Each first flattening device has a first cylinder 701 and a first guide rail 702 and a first slider 703 arranged on both sides of the first cylinder 701. The clamping and flattening device 4 on the right side includes four first flattening devices. Each first flattening device includes a first cylinder 701 and two first guide rails 702 and two first sliders 703 arranged vertically and vertically on the upper or lower side of the first cylinder 701. Although the clamping and flattening devices 4 on both sides are slightly different in structure, their functions are basically the same.

[0046] Working principle: The transport line moves the pallet 2 with the goods 3 placed on it to the designated position, and the transport line stops transporting; the movable end of the positioning cylinder 9 on the clamping and flattening mechanism on both sides of the transport line moves towards the pallet 2, and the movable end of the positioning cylinder 9 abuts against the pallet 2 or directly inserts into the positioning hole on the pallet 2 to limit the position of the pallet 2.

[0047] In the first flat pushing mechanism, the first cylinder 701 pushes the first push plate 705 to move along the first guide rail 702 toward the direction of the goods 3. The side of the first push plate 705 away from the first cylinder 701 abuts against the goods 3 and flattens the goods 3, so that the protrusions and depressions on this side of the goods 3 on the pallet 2 disappear and form a flat surface.

[0048] In the angle-swinging clamping device, the angle-swinging cylinder 8011 pushes the angle-swinging connector 8012 to rotate, the angle-swinging connector 8012 drives the rotating shaft 8013 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 8013 drives the second flat-pushing mechanism to rotate 90°, so that the second push plate 8026 on the second flat-pushing mechanism faces the side of the goods 3 adjacent to the first push plate 705; the second cylinder 8022 pushes the second push plate 8026 to move along the second guide rail 8023 towards the goods 3, and the side of the second push plate 8026 away from the second cylinder 8022 abuts against the goods 3 and flattens the goods 3, so that the protrusions and depressions on this side of the goods 3 on the pallet 2 disappear, forming a flat surface;

[0049] The four-sided shaping mechanism uses the first flat pushing mechanism on the clamping and flattening device 4 on both sides of the conveyor line 1 to flatten the two sides of the goods 3, and the swing angle clamping and flattening device on the clamping and flattening device 4 on both sides to flatten the other two sides, so that all four sides of the goods 3 are flattened, and then the above process is reversed.

[0050] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including both the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if such modifications and modifications fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include such modifications and modifications.
