[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The tray depalletizing and stacking mechanism shown includes a base 6 and a base plate 13 mounted on the upper side of the base 6.

[0026] The base 6 is equipped with side destacking and stacking cylinders 4 on both the front and rear sides;

[0027] A tray 15 is provided on the upper side of the base plate 13;

[0028] The upper outer wall of the base 6 is equipped with a conveyor line 7 near the front and rear sides to guide the movement of the pallet 15. The pallet 15 is transported to the organization's depalletizing or palletizing station via the conveyor line 7. Once the material is confirmed to be correct, the system will activate the corresponding depalletizing or palletizing cylinder to carry out subsequent material handling operations. After the pallet 15 has completed depalletizing or palletizing, it can be returned via the conveyor line 7 to load new material, forming a cycle operation.

[0029] A foolproof mechanism 1 is provided on the upper side of the pallet 15. The foolproof mechanism 1 includes a foolproof cylinder 18 and a probe 16. The foolproof cylinder 18 is provided on the upper side of the pallet 15, and the probe 16 is provided on the lower side of the foolproof cylinder 18. After the pallet 15 reaches the designated position, the foolproof cylinder 18 extends according to the command of the set signal, and the probe 16 extends accordingly to detect the pallet 15. When the probe 16 touches the pallet 15, the cylinder 18 will send a feedback signal to confirm that the material position is normal. If the pallet 15 is not detected, the system will prompt an error or readjust to avoid incorrect operation.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the foolproof mechanism 1 also includes a sliding sleeve 14 and a fixing buckle 17. The lower outer wall of the foolproof cylinder 18 is provided with a sliding sleeve 14 to restrict and guide the direction of the probe rod 16, and a fixing buckle 17 is provided on one side of the sliding sleeve 14.

[0031] The lower outer wall of the anti-fool cylinder 18 is provided with a sliding sleeve 14, which is mainly used to limit and guide the extension and retraction path of the probe rod 16. A fixing buckle 17 is provided on one side of the sliding sleeve 14 to fix or lock the position of the sliding sleeve 14.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper outer wall of the base plate 13 is fixedly connected with side clamping cylinders 2 near the front and rear sides to clamp the tray 15 on the front and rear sides.

[0033] The side clamping cylinders 2 are fixed to the upper outer wall of the base plate 13, respectively close to the front and rear sides of the pallet 15, to clamp the pallet 15 and ensure that the pallet 15 remains stable during destabilization and stacking, and to prevent lateral displacement.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a lifting cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the base 6 to lift the material.

[0035] The lifting cylinder 8 is fixed to the lower outer wall of the base 6 and is used to lift the material during destacking or stacking to ensure smooth material handling.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, each of the two transport lines 7 is equipped with a detection sensor 10 on one side to detect whether there is a tray 15 on the base plate 13.

[0037] The detection sensor 10 is installed on one side of the two conveyor lines 7 to detect in real time whether there is a tray 15 on the base plate 13, so as to ensure the accuracy of operation.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple anti-sticking mechanisms 11 are provided on the outer walls of both the left and right ends of the base plate 13.

[0039] Anti-sticking mechanisms 11 are installed on the outer walls of the left and right ends of the base plate 13. Multiple anti-sticking mechanisms 11 are used to prevent the pallet 15 from sticking to the material, ensuring that the material is easy to separate and handle.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple support frames 5 are fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the base 6, and cover plates 3 are provided between the upper outer walls of the multiple support frames 5 to restrict the position of the side clamping cylinder 2.

[0041] The support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the base 6. A cover plate 3 is provided between multiple support frames 5 to limit the position of the side clamping cylinder 2 and provide stable structural support.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a blocking cylinder 9 is provided on one side of the opposite side of the two conveying lines 7, and a bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the base 6 to limit the position of the foolproof mechanism 1.

[0043] The blocking cylinder 9 is set on one side of the opposite side of the two conveyor lines 7 to block the pallet 15 and ensure safety during operation. The bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the base 6 to limit the position of the foolproof mechanism 1 and ensure its stable positioning during operation.

[0044] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the belt conveyor 7 transports a stack of materials to the destacking station; the blocking cylinder 9 stops the pallet 14; the foolproof cylinder 18 detects the orientation; the lifting cylinder 8 lifts the materials, and the anti-sticking mechanism 11 simultaneously hooks the bottom one; the side destacking and stacking cylinder 4 extends; the side clamping cylinder 2 extends to support the upper layer, the lifting cylinder 8 retracts, and the anti-sticking mechanism 11 simultaneously hooks the bottom one back to the surface of the line; the lifting cylinder 8 lifts; the side destacking and stacking cylinder 4 retracts and lowers, and the anti-sticking mechanism 11 simultaneously hooks the bottom one; the side clamping cylinder 2 retracts; the side destacking and stacking cylinder 4 extends, and the side clamping cylinder 2 extends to support the upper layer; the lifting cylinder 8 retracts, and the anti-sticking mechanism 11 simultaneously hooks the bottom one back to the surface of the line, and the process is repeated to realize the destacking process. The detection sensor 10 detects the presence or absence of materials and replenishes materials in accordance with the program; the stacking process is the reverse of the destacking process, but the logic is the same.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
