Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stacker crane technology, specifically a stacker crane for material handling in automated warehouses. Background Technology

[0002] A stacker crane is a mechanical device that uses the gap in the traction roller section at the end of the tool conveyor to ensure that the edges of the cardboard are straight. The vacuum cardboard edge adjustment conveyor and separation system ensure accurate separation of the cardboard and transports it to the stacker crane to complete this process.

[0003] Existing stacker cranes typically require manual placement of materials into the crane, which then arranges the materials neatly and stacks them together. When dealing with rod-shaped materials, because these materials tend to roll around, only a relatively small amount of rod-shaped material can usually be retrieved each time it is placed into the stacker crane.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an automated warehouse material handling and stacking machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[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 an automated warehouse material handling and stacking machine, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the system includes a conveyor belt 1, the surface of which is provided with a plurality of linearly distributed dividing strips 2, and materials are placed between two dividing strips 2. An installation box 3 is provided outside the conveyor belt 1, and a material stacking mechanism is provided inside the installation box 3. The material stacking mechanism includes a receiving box 6, which is located below the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 is inclined relative to the receiving box 6, and a guide plate 7 is provided on the surface of the receiving box 6.

[0026] The conveyor belt 1 is used to transport rod-shaped materials. The separator strip 2 on the conveyor belt 1 is used to position the rod-shaped materials and prevent them from rolling off. The receiving box 6 is inclined on the side closest to the conveyor belt 1, which facilitates the material rolling into the receiving box 6. The guide plate 7 is used to guide the material, thereby accurately guiding the material into the receiving box 6.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, there are two receiving boxes 6 distributed on both sides of the mounting box 3. A first motor 4 is installed on the mounting box 3. A bidirectional lead screw 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 4. The bidirectional lead screw 5 is threadedly connected to the two receiving boxes 6.

[0028] The combination of the first motor 4, the bidirectional lead screw 5, and the receiving box 6 allows the first motor 4 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the two receiving boxes 6 to move relative to each other. This enables one receiving box 6 to be loaded with material while the other receiving box 6 is unloaded, thus improving the stacking efficiency.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the receiving box 6 and the mounting box 3 are slidably connected. The upper surface of the receiving box 6 is provided with a strip-shaped hole, and the edge of the strip-shaped hole is provided with a baffle plate 8. The receiving box 6 is provided with a slope on the side near the conveyor belt 1.

[0030] The baffle plate 8 blocks the rod-shaped material, allowing it to fall into the receiving box 6 through the strip trough. The ramp in the receiving box 6 facilitates the movement of the material into the strip trough.

[0031] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a second motor 9 is mounted on the surface of the receiving box 6, and a gear 18 is connected to the output end of the second motor 9. Two racks 10 are slidably connected to the surface of the receiving box 6, and the racks 10 and the gears 18 mesh. Push plates 11 are provided on both sides of the receiving box 6, and the push plates 11 and the racks 10 are fixedly connected.

[0032] The combination of the second motor 9, gear 18, and rack 10 is used to align the two ends of the rod-shaped material falling into the receiving box 6. By starting the second motor 9, the gear 18 is driven to rotate, and the gear 18 further drives the two racks 10 to move in opposite directions. The racks 10 further drive the push plate 11 to move, and the push plate 11 finally aligns the two ends of the rod-shaped material, so that the material is neatly arranged.

[0033] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the bottom of the receiving box 6 is inclined, that is, the middle is high and the two sides are low. A limiting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving box 6. The limiting plate 12 and the push plate 11 are slidably connected. The two receiving boxes 6 are set at different heights. The loading box 17 is slidably connected inside the mounting box 3.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, electric push rods 13 are installed on both sides of the receiving box 6. A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 13. A sealing plate 14 is slidably connected to the side wall of the receiving box 6. The sealing plate 14 and the connecting block 15 are fixedly connected. A strip groove 16 corresponding to the connecting block 15 is opened on the side wall of the receiving box 6.

[0035] When the receiving box 6 needs to unload, the sealing plate 14 is moved by starting the electric push rod 13. At this time, since the bottom of the receiving box 6 is inclined, the rod-shaped material rolls out of the receiving box 6 by gravity and enters the loading box 17, thus completing the automatic unloading process.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
