[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0026] In the description of the utility model, it is understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "periphery" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and is not indicative or suggestive of the components or elements indicated having a specific orientation, being constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 The utility model discloses a cam mechanism for pallet unstacking, including cam plate 1, pallet fork rod 2 and telescopic device 3.
[0028] As Figure 4 and 5 The cam groove specifically includes the vertical section 101 that is vertically set, the horizontal section 102 that is communicated with the lower end of the vertical section 101, the vertical ascending section 103 that is communicated with the end of the vertical section 101, the horizontal insertion section 104 that is communicated with the upper end of the vertical ascending section 103, and the other end of the horizontal insertion section 104 is communicated with the vertical section 101, and the connecting point is lower than the upper end of the vertical section 101, so that the horizontal insertion section 104 has a certain distance from the uppermost section of the vertical section 101.
[0029] The opening depth of the lower end of the vertical ascending section 103 is greater than the opening depth of the horizontal section 102, and the opening depth of the upper end is less than the opening depth of the horizontal insertion section 104, and the opening depth of the horizontal insertion section 104 is less than the depth of the vertical section 101, that is, a step surface is formed between the lower end of the vertical ascending section 103 and the horizontal section 102, and a step surface is formed between the upper end of the vertical ascending section 103 and the horizontal insertion section 104, and between the horizontal insertion section 104 and the vertical section 101, so as to limit the components sliding along the inside of the cam groove, so that they can only move in the direction of the horizontal section 102, the vertical ascending section 103 and the horizontal insertion section 104 in turn.
[0030] Specifically, the opening depth of the horizontal section 102 can be gradually reduced in the direction away from the vertical section 101 during processing, that is, the opening depth of the horizontal section 102 gradually becomes shallower, so that the lower end of the vertical ascending section 103 does not need to be opened to a deep depth, that is, a step surface is formed between the horizontal section 102. Similarly, the opening depth of the vertical ascending section 103 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the opening depth of the horizontal insertion section 104 gradually decreases in the direction close to the vertical section 101, which gradually reduces the opening depth by gradually reducing the opening depth, thereby facilitating the reduction of processing difficulty.
[0031] The fork rod 2 is connected with the rack of the device through a sliding assembly, so as to enable the fork rod 2 to slide in the horizontal and vertical directions. As two sliding assemblies perpendicular to each other are connected with each other, and the fork rod 2 is connected with one of the sliding assemblies, and the other sliding assembly is connected with the rack of the device, the fork rod 2 can move in the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0032] As shown in Figure 3 , the fork rod 2 is fixedly connected with a fixed sleeve 201, the fixed sleeve 201 is fixedly connected with the fork rod 2, one end of the fixed sleeve 201 is sleeved with a guide rod 202, the guide rod 202 is sleeved with a spring 203, and the guide rod 202 is pushed by the spring 203, so that the end of the guide rod 202 is tightly attached to the inner side of the cam groove.
[0033] As preferred, one end of the guide rod 202 is connected with a follower 204 matched with the cam groove, and one end of the spring 203 abuts against the follower 204. Under the action of the spring 203, the follower 204 can be kept in the cam groove, and through the connection of the follower 204, the direct sliding between the guide rod 202 and the cam groove can be avoided, so that the abrasion and the large resistance are avoided, and the reliability and stability of operation are improved.
[0034] The telescopic device 3 can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is hinged with the rack of the device, and the telescopic end of the telescopic device 3 is rotationally connected with the fixed sleeve 201. At the same time, the telescopic device 3 is inclined relative to the vertical section 101, so that the horizontal and vertical components of the telescopic action are generated.
[0035] The guide rod 202 is driven by the telescopic device 3 to move along the cam groove in sequence, so as to realize the horizontal and vertical movement of the fork rod 2 and the layering and unstacking operation of the pallets.
[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , in the initial position, the follower 204 is located at the lower end of the vertical rising section 103, and at this time, the fork rod 2 corresponds to the bottom layer of the pallet stack 4.
[0037] The telescopic rod of the telescopic device 3 is elongated to push the fork rod 2, and since the follower 204 is limited by the stepped surface at the connection between the horizontal section 102 and the vertical rising section 103, the follower 204 cannot slide into the horizontal section 102, but can only move upward along the vertical rising section 103, so as to make the fork rod 2 move upward, and make the follower 204 slide into the horizontal insertion section 104.
[0038] At this time, the fork rod 2 corresponds to the position of the second layer of the pallets below the pallet stack 4, that is, the length of the vertical rising section 103 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of each layer of the pallets to be unstacked, so that the lifting height of the fork rod 2 is adapted to the height of each layer of the pallets to be unstacked.
[0039] The follower 204 slides into the horizontal insertion section 104, and the telescopic end of the telescopic device 3 continues to push the fork lever 2, so that the follower 204 moves along the horizontal insertion section 104 towards the vertical section 101, and then the fork lever 2 is inserted into the second layer of the tray below. The fork lever 2 can be arranged in the form of a forklift fork structure or other clamp structure according to the object to be unstacked.
[0040] After the follower 204 is moved into the vertical section 101 by the horizontal insertion section 104, the telescopic device 3 continues to push, and the follower 204 moves vertically upwards in the vertical section 101 from the connecting point of the horizontal insertion section 104 and the vertical section 101, so as to lift the second layer of the tray stack 4 upwards by the fork lever 2, so that only the bottom layer of the tray stack 4 is separated. At this time, the bottom layer of the tray can be moved out of the tray area under the action of an external force such as a conveying belt or a cylinder.
[0041] Finally, the telescopic end of the telescopic device 3 is retracted, and the follower 204 vertically descends along the vertical section 101, so that the fork lever 2 drives the tray stack 4 to descend, and when the follower 204 moves to the lower end of the vertical section 101, the tray stack 4 is placed in the tray area. When the telescopic end of the telescopic device 3 continues to retract, the follower 204 slides along the horizontal section 102 from the lower end of the vertical section 101, so as to pull the fork lever 2 out of the tray, i.e. back to the initial position.
[0042] The above process is sequentially cycled to realize the unstacking of the tray stack 4 layer by layer from bottom to top, and the unstacking is completed. By limiting the movement path of the fork lever 2 by the b-type cam groove structure, the unstacking can be realized, and the stacking effect can also be realized by adjusting the guide direction of the b-type cam groove.
[0043] The unstacking operation can be completed by the cam groove structure cooperating with a single cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder as a power output, so that the overall structure and transmission mode are more simple and efficient, and the overall failure rate and use cost are effectively reduced.
