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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a material pallet circulation device includes a base 1, a bracket 3 installed on the upper end of the base 1, an electric telescopic rod 4 vertically installed on the upper end of the base 1, a holding plate 5 for placing material pallets horizontally installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 4, a controller 6 installed on the side wall of the bracket 3, a feeding device set on the side of the bracket 3 away from the holding plate 5, a roller 2 for facilitating the movement of the device installed at the lower end of the base 1, and a moving mechanism for circulating the pallets provided at the top of the bracket 3.

[0023] The moving mechanism includes a motor 14, which is mounted at the top center of the bracket 3. A rotating disk 15 is horizontally mounted on the output end of the motor 14. A first cylinder 10 is vertically mounted at the lower center of the rotating disk 15. A mounting plate 7 is horizontally mounted on the output end of the first cylinder 10. A second cylinder 13 is horizontally mounted on both sides of the lower end of the mounting plate 7. The output end of the second cylinder 13 faces the side away from the center of the mounting plate 7. An electric gripper 12 for clamping a material tray is mounted on the output end of the second cylinder 13.

[0024] Before use, place a new material tray on the feeding equipment and place the material on the material tray.

[0025] In use, the operator places the material pallet on the upper end of the holding plate 5, then starts the first cylinder 10 to extend. The output end of the first cylinder 10 pushes the mounting plate 7 to move downward. The mounting plate 7 drives the second cylinder 13 to move downward. Then, the second cylinder 13 extends, and the output end of the second cylinder 13 pushes the electric gripper 12 to move. Then, the two electric grippers 12 respectively clamp the material pallet on the feeding equipment and the material pallet on the holding plate 5. Then, the second cylinder 13 retracts and the first cylinder 10 retracts.

[0026] Then, start motor 14 and rotate it 180 degrees. The output end of motor 14 drives the rotating disk 15 to rotate. The rotating disk 15 drives the first cylinder 10, mounting plate 7, second cylinder 13 and electric gripper 12 to rotate, thereby rotating the material pallet with material to the side of the holding plate 5 and rotating the material pallet without material to the side of the feeding equipment. Then, start the first cylinder 10 to extend and start the second cylinder 13 to extend, thereby placing the material pallet with material on the holding plate 5 and placing the material pallet without material on the feeding equipment.

[0027] Then the feeding equipment places the material onto the material tray on it, and the staff removes the material tray and puts a new material tray on the holding plate 5.

[0028] A rotating seat 8 is rotatably sleeved on the side wall of the rotating disk 15. A fixing cylinder 9 is vertically installed on the upper end of the rotating seat 8. The upper end of the fixing cylinder 9 is vertically installed on the top of the bracket 3. The fixing cylinder 9 is sleeved on the side wall of the motor 14.

[0029] The upper end of the mounting plate 7 is equipped with limit frames 16 corresponding to the second cylinder 13 on both sides. An L-shaped sliding rod 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit frame 16. One end of the L-shaped sliding rod 11 away from the center of the mounting plate 7 passes through the limit frame 16 and is installed on the electric gripper 12.

[0030] The working principle of a material pallet circulation device:

[0031] Before use, place a new material tray on the feeding equipment and place the material on the material tray.

[0032] In use, the operator places the material pallet on the upper end of the holding plate 5, then starts the first cylinder 10 to extend. The output end of the first cylinder 10 pushes the mounting plate 7 to move downward. The mounting plate 7 drives the second cylinder 13 to move downward. Then, the second cylinder 13 extends, and the output end of the second cylinder 13 pushes the electric gripper 12 to move. Then, the two electric grippers 12 respectively clamp the material pallet on the feeding equipment and the material pallet on the holding plate 5. Then, the second cylinder 13 retracts and the first cylinder 10 retracts.

[0033] Then, start motor 14 and rotate it 180 degrees. The output end of motor 14 drives the rotating disk 15 to rotate. The rotating disk 15 drives the first cylinder 10, mounting plate 7, second cylinder 13 and electric gripper 12 to rotate, thereby rotating the material pallet with material to the side of the holding plate 5 and rotating the material pallet without material to the side of the feeding equipment. Then, start the first cylinder 10 to extend and start the second cylinder 13 to extend, thereby placing the material pallet with material on the holding plate 5 and placing the material pallet without material on the feeding equipment.

[0034] Then the feeding equipment places the material onto the material tray on it, and the staff removes the material tray and puts a new material tray on the holding plate 5.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
