[0037] More specifically, in combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, wherein two clamping jaws 3 are arranged on two of the three arms 11, and a locking piece 2 is arranged on the other arm 11. The two clamping jaws 3 first clamp and pre-position the tray from the outer edge of the tray, and then the locking piece 2 is pressed on the tray, so that the tray can be fixed on the tray rack 1 by the cooperation of the locking piece 2 and the two clamping jaws 3, and the stability is strong. Further, the three arms 11 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, so that an angle of 120° is formed between the three arms 11, which can further improve the clamping stability of the tray.

[0038] Of course, it can be understood that in other parallel embodiments, the rack can also be provided with four, five or even more, and the locking piece 2 can also be provided with two, three or even more, so that it can be adapted to the tray with larger radial size and heavier weight. The tray can be divided, installed and carried, and the stability and reliability can be ensured. Therefore, the present application does not limit the number of arms 11, clamping jaws 3 and locking pieces 2, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs.

[0039] Optionally, the tray rack 1 further comprises a circular lifting plate 12 located at the center of the tray rack 1, and the circular lifting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the intersection point of the three arms 11 by welding or the like, and a lifting ring for lifting the entire tray rack 1 by a mechanical hand can be arranged on the circular lifting plate 12, so as to achieve the purpose of saving labor, and the practicality, convenience and safety of the entire tray rack 1 can be further enhanced.

[0040] Optionally, in order to improve the application range of the tray dividing device, a first mounting hole 321 is formed in the clamping jaw 3 in the embodiment; a plurality of second mounting holes 111 are formed in the arm 11 in the direction close to or away from the center of the tray rack 1; and the tray dividing device provided in the embodiment further comprises a fastening connecting piece 4, which is arranged in the first mounting hole 321 and optionally arranged in one of the second mounting holes 111, so as to fix the clamping jaw 3 on the tray rack 1 in different relative positions.

[0041] One of the embodiments of the present embodiment is that the first mounting hole 321 is a sliding hole, the second mounting hole 111 is a threaded hole, the fastening connector 4 is selected from a screw or a bolt, and the operator moves the clamping jaw 3 to the appropriate position on the supporting arm 11 according to the actual size of the tray in the radial direction, then fastens the fastening connector 4 through the first mounting hole 321, and then screws it in the second mounting hole 111, so as to complete the fixation of the clamping jaw 3. Through the above setting, the tray separating device can separate trays of various diameters, and the operation is simple, the clamping jaw 3 is fixed stably and reliably, and the practicability is greatly improved.

[0042] Specifically, in the present embodiment, referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , the locking member 2 includes a locking mounting block 21 and a locking push rod 22. The locking mounting block 21 is fixedly connected to the supporting arm 11, and the locking push rod 22 is movably connected to the locking mounting block 21 in the direction of approaching or moving away from the center of the tray separating support 1, so that when the tray is placed on the device, the locking push rod 22 can be pressed against the top outer edge of the tray, so that the tray can be fixedly arranged on the tray separating support 1. After the tray is transported to the unloading station, the locking push rod 22 can move away from the tray to release the tray, so that the tray can be easily removed from the device, thereby facilitating the feeding, transporting and unloading process of the tray and improving the conveying efficiency of the tray.

[0043] Further, in the present embodiment, the locking push rod 22 is provided with a fixing structure, and the locking push rod 22 can be fixedly connected to the locking mounting block 21 through the fixing structure, so as to improve the safety of the tray during transportation and prevent the tray from slipping off the tray separating support 1.

[0044] One of the embodiments of the present embodiment is that the locking mounting block 21 is provided with a threaded hole 211, and the locking push rod is provided with a threaded portion which is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 211, i.e. the threaded portion forms the fixing structure, so that the locking push rod 22 can be movably or fixedly connected to the locking mounting block 21 through the threaded connection. This implementation simplifies the structure of the locking member 2, is safe and reliable, easy to operate, and reduces the difficulty of the locking push rod 22 in pressing or releasing the tray.

[0045] It should be further noted that in the present embodiment, the locking mounting block 21 is fixedly installed on the supporting arm 11 through a threaded connector, so as to facilitate the disassembly, maintenance and replacement of the locking member 2. Of course, in other parallel embodiments, the locking mounting block 21 can also be connected to the supporting arm 11 by clamping or other detachable fixing methods, which are not limited in the present embodiment.

[0046] In order to facilitate the screwing, in the embodiment, a screwing handle 23 is fixedly arranged on the locking push rod 22 away from the tray, so as to facilitate the operator to screw the locking push rod 22 and reduce the operation pressure.

[0047] Further, in the embodiment, the end of the locking push rod 22 close to the tray is also provided with a claw 3, specifically, the claw 3 is rotatably connected to the locking push rod 22, so that after the claw 3 connected to the locking push rod 22 is clamped on the tray, the claw 3 does not interfere with the rotation of the locking push rod 22, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the locking push rod 22 towards the tray and pressing the tray.

[0048] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the claw 3 specifically includes a claw main body 31, a supporting block 32 and a rib plate 33, wherein the claw main body 31 is fixedly connected to the supporting block 32, and the claw main body 31 is preferably in a U-shaped structure, so as to facilitate clamping the tray; the supporting block 32 is provided with the above-mentioned first mounting hole 321, and the rib plate 33 is fixedly connected between the claw main body 31 and the supporting block 32, so as to strengthen the structural strength of the claw main body 31 and prevent the claw main body 31 from bending and skewing.

[0049] It should be noted that in the embodiment, only the two claws 3 not directly connected to the locking push rod 22 are designed in the above-mentioned split structure, and the claw 3 directly connected to the locking push rod 22 only includes the above-mentioned claw main body 31, so as to ensure that the locking push rod 22 and the claw main body 31 can relatively rotate.

[0050] Further, the clamping surfaces of the claw main body 31 are arc-shaped, so that the shape of the claw main body 31 can better adapt to the outer edge of the tray, improve the contact area between the claw main body 31 and the outer edge of the tray, and thereby enhance the clamping reliability of the claw main body 31.

[0051] Working principle: according to the above-mentioned tray separating device, in use, first, use the mechanical lifting arm to hook on the lifting ring on the circular lifting tray 12, and then use the mechanical lifting arm to move the entire tray separating device to the position where the tray is placed. After the operator aligns the two claw main bodies 31 fixed on the lifting arm with the tray to be separated, the mechanical lifting arm is used to lift the tray separating device, so that the two claw main bodies 31 are clamped at the outer edge of the tray, thereby achieving the purpose of pre-positioning the tray to be separated. Then the operator uses the screwing handle 23 to rotate the locking push rod 22 towards the tray, until the claw main body 31 connected to the locking push rod 22 can be clamped at the outer edge of the tray, and then the locking push rod 22 is adjusted slightly, so that the claw main body 31 is tightly pressed on the tray, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the tray on the tray separating device. Finally, the mechanical lifting arm is used to lift the tray separating device upwards, and the tray on the tray separating device is carried to the feeding tray.

[0052] After the tray is carried to the feeding tray, the operator twists the locking push rod 22 in the reverse direction to release the pawl body 31 on the locking push rod 22, and then moves the tray separating device away from the tray, and then uses the mechanical arm to move the tray separating device to the position of the next tray to be separated, and repeats the above installation steps until a group of trays are separated and carried to the feeding tray. Through the above tray separating device, the operation of manually carrying the tray to the feeding tray by the operator can be saved, and only one operator is needed to control the mechanical arm to carry the tray separating device provided with the tray to the feeding tray, thereby saving manpower, ensuring the carrying efficiency, being safer, and avoiding the risk of personal danger to the operator.
