Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palletizing machine technology, specifically to a flip-palletizing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A palletizer is an industrial piece of equipment used for the automated stacking of sheet materials (such as wood, plastic, and glass sheets). It is widely used in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, and packaging. Through the coordinated operation of a robotic arm, conveying system, and intelligent control system, the palletizer achieves efficient and precise stacking of sheets, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.
[0003] After the boards are positioned by the conveyor system, the palletizer's robotic arm needs to grab the boards according to a preset path and stack them precisely. Existing palletizers cannot automatically flip the boards, resulting in an efficiency bottleneck when performing alternating front and back stacking operations. Specifically, after placing the boards face up, manual labor is required to physically flip them so that the back side is facing up before the robotic arm grabs the back side for stacking. This leads to process interruptions and increased equipment waiting time, which slows down the overall pace in continuous high-volume production scenarios and makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed production lines for cycle synchronization and operational continuity.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic flip-palletizer that can achieve forward and reverse stacking without relying on manual flipping of the boards, thereby shortening the single operation cycle, eliminating equipment waiting time, and adapting to large-scale production lines, so as to improve the stacking efficiency of the boards. Utility Model Content

[0077] When using the flip-palletizer of this embodiment for alternating forward and reverse palletizing, the conveyor 6 first transports the sheet metal to the positioning area directly below the suction rack 3. After the photoelectric sensor confirms its position, the movable arm 2 lowers the suction rack 3 to absorb the sheet metal and moves it to the palletizing area to complete the forward placement. After the forward placement is completed, the suction rack 3 returns and performs a 180° flip before sinking, switching to the reverse state and sinking into the conveyor 6. When the second sheet metal is transported to the position, the reverse-state suction rack 3 absorbs the sheet metal, and the movable arm 2 moves the suction rack 3 to the palletizing area. During the transfer process, a 180° flip is performed to flip the sheet metal, finally arriving at the palletizing area to complete the reverse placement. The flip-palletizer of this embodiment improves the overall rhythm by flipping the suction rack 3 during the transfer process when performing alternating forward and reverse palletizing operations, enabling it to match the production rhythm of high-speed assembly lines.
[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor table 6 is provided with a first clearance space 61 that is vertically opposite to the adsorption rack 3. After the adsorption rack 3 is flipped, it can sink into the first clearance space 61 so that the adsorption rack 3 can adsorb the board from the reverse side, thereby completing the alternating stacking of the front and back sides.
[0079] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the connection structure includes a connecting plate 51, which has a connecting through hole 52. The connecting plate 51 is mounted on the first drive shaft through the connecting through hole 52 and is fixed by a limiting structure. The connecting plate 51 and the rotating connecting piece 5 have several connecting through holes respectively, and are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts.
[0080] The limiting structure includes a limiting disc 53, a second limiting plane 56, a blocking surface 57, and a limiting nut 58. The limiting disc 53 is integrally formed on the other side of the connecting disc 51, and has a limiting through hole 54 communicating with the connecting through hole 52. A first limiting plane 55 is provided on one side wall of the limiting through hole 54. The second limiting plane 56 is disposed on one side wall of the first drive shaft, opposite to the first limiting plane 55. The blocking surface 57 is formed on the first drive shaft through the second limiting plane 56, and an external thread is provided on a section of the outer wall of the free end of the first drive shaft. The limiting nut 58 has an internal thread. After the first drive shaft passes through the limiting through hole 54 and the connecting through hole 52, the limiting nut 58 is screwed onto the first drive shaft to press one side of the limiting disc 53, causing the other side of the limiting disc 53 to abut against the blocking surface 57, thereby fixing the connecting disc 51 onto the first drive shaft.

A first solenoid valve is installed on the first air supply line 34 to control the air supply. When the first solenoid valve is open, gas enters the single-acting cylinder 31 through the first air supply branches, pushing the piston rod 32 outward. When the first solenoid valve is closed, the single-acting cylinder... The gas inside 31 is discharged through the exhaust port of the first solenoid valve, and the return spring pushes the piston rod 32 to retract. One end of the second gas supply pipe 35 is connected to a vacuum generator, and the other end is divided into several second gas supply branches, which are respectively connected to the air extraction port of the suction cup 33. A second solenoid valve is provided on the second gas supply pipe 35. The second solenoid valve is used to control the connection between the suction cup 33 and the vacuum generator or the outside. When the second solenoid valve controls the connection between the suction cup 33 and the vacuum generator, the vacuum generator draws air from the suction cup 33 through the gas supply pipe, forming a negative pressure, so that the suction cup 33 can adsorb the board. When the second solenoid valve controls the connection between the suction cup 33 and the outside, outside air enters the interior of the suction cup 33 through the air inlet of the second solenoid valve, the negative pressure is released, so that the board can be detached.

[0087] The flip-palletizer in this embodiment is used as follows:
[0088] When performing alternating forward and reverse stacking, the conveyor 6 first conveys the board to the positioning area directly below the adsorption rack 3. After the photoelectric sensor confirms that it is in place, the control device 7 controls the drive device 8 to start, and drives the movable arm 2 to descend through the shaft and sprocket chain transmission.
[0089] When adsorbing the board, the first solenoid valve opens, and gas enters the single-acting cylinder 31 through the first gas supply branch, pushing the piston rod 32 to extend; the second solenoid valve switches to connect the suction cup 33 with the vacuum generator, and draws air from the suction cup 33 through the gas supply pipeline to form a negative pressure, so that the suction cup 3 can adsorb the board.

[0091] After the upright placement is completed, the adsorption rack 3, during its return trip, is controlled by the first servo motor 4 via the rotating connecting piece 5 to rotate the adsorption rack 3 by 180° and sink into the first clearance space 61. When the second board is delivered to the position, the adsorption rack 3 in the reverse state repeats the adsorption process.
