[0036] The dual-channel pallet transfer device described in this embodiment consists of a first conveying component 2 and a second conveying component 2a forming an upper and lower dual channel. Empty pallets enter the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 2a from the pallet buffer end for dual-channel conveying, which improves the pallet conveying efficiency and reduces the footprint of the transfer device.

The translation mechanism is used to translate the tray along the X direction to the same side of the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 2a, so that the tray is caught by the lifting translation return component 3. The first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 2a are used to convey the tray along the Y direction.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the lifting and translating assembly 1 includes a first lifting and translating assembly 1a and a second lifting and translating assembly 1b. The first lifting and translating assembly 1a is disposed at the pallet buffer end 4 of the first conveying assembly 2 and is used to lift and slide the pallet on the first conveying assembly 2. The second lifting and translating assembly 1b is disposed at the pallet buffer end 41 of the second conveying assembly 2a and is used to lift and slide the pallet on the second conveying assembly 2a. The two work independently, which can speed up the pallet transfer cycle.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first lifting and translating component 1a and the second lifting and translating component 1b are arranged vertically aligned to facilitate their connection with the lifting and translating return component 3 and accelerate the working cycle of the lifting and translating return component 3.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the pallet buffer end 4 of the first conveying component 2 and the pallet buffer end 41 of the second conveying component 2a are vertically aligned to form a standardized material interface, which facilitates the entry of the pallet of the pallet buffer device into the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 2a.

[0041] Reference Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first conveying component 2 is disposed above the second conveying component 2a, and the lifting and translating component 1 of the first conveying component 2 is disposed at the loading station 42. After the pallet moves to the loading station 42, it stops moving and waits for the robot arm 9 to place the material on the pallet. After the loading is completed, the pallet is quickly lifted and lateralized by the lifting and translating component 1.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 2a are provided with a material unloading station 43 on the same side along their conveying direction. The material unloading station 43 is provided with the lifting and translating return component 3.

The first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 2a are both conventional technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a first limiting component is further included. The first limiting component is disposed on one side of the lifting and translating component 1 and between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. The first limiting component includes a translation driver 52, a first lifting driver 51 disposed at the output end of the translation driver 52, and a first limiting plate 5 disposed at the output end of the first lifting driver 51. The translation driver 52 drives the first limiting plate 5 to move along the conveying direction of the first conveying component 2. The first limiting plate 5 is located below the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, thus avoiding the pallet. When the first lifting driver 51 raises the first limiting plate 5 to a height above the first and second conveyor belts, the first limiting plate 5 can stop the pallet above the lifting and translating component 1, facilitating the loading of the pallet. The translation driver 52 pushes the first limiting plate 5 to fine-tune the position of the pallet, improving the positioning accuracy of the pallet.

[0045] Reference Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first conveying component 2 is provided with a discharge end 44, and the second conveying component 2a is provided with a discharge end 45. Both discharge ends 44 and 45 are provided with a second limiting component. The second limiting component is disposed between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. The second limiting component includes a second limiting plate 6 and a second lifting driver 62 that drives the second limiting plate 6 to rise and fall. The second limiting plate 6 is set lower than the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. When the second lifting driver 62 raises the second limiting plate 6, the second limiting plate 6 can stop the pallet at the discharge end so as to perform the discharge operation on the pallet.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first lifting driver 51, the second lifting driver 62, and the translation driver 52 are all preferably cylinders.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the translation mechanism includes a drive motor 13, a third conveyor belt 12, and a fourth conveyor belt 14. The drive motor 13 drives the third conveyor belt 12 and the fourth conveyor belt 14. The conveying direction of the third conveyor belt 12 and the conveying direction of the fourth conveyor belt 14 are the same, and it is used to move the pallet laterally to the unloading station 43. The translation mechanism is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the unloading end 44 of the first conveying component 2 and the unloading end 45 of the second conveying component 2a are aligned vertically to form a standardized material interface, which facilitates the material handling operation of the tray at the unloading end.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a frame 7, which is provided with an upper channel and a lower channel. The first conveying component 2 is disposed in the upper channel, and the second conveying component 2a is disposed in the lower channel.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting component is disposed on one side of the lifting and translating component 1 along the conveying direction of the first conveying component 2. Specifically, the second limiting component is disposed between the loading station 42 and the unloading end 44 to stop the pallet on the loading station 42 and prevent the pallet from continuing to move.

[0051] Reference Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 2a are provided with a plurality of rollers 8 on the side near the unloading station 43. The rollers 8 are set higher than the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. More specifically, the rollers 8 are arranged between the translation mechanism and the lifting translation return component 3 to support the pallet and make the pallet move smoothly between the translation mechanism and the lifting translation return component 3.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the lifting and translating return assembly 3 includes a translating return mechanism and a lifting and translating return mechanism 32 that drives the translating return mechanism to rise and fall. The translating return mechanism includes a conveyor belt 31 for transmitting the pallet and a motor for driving the conveyor belt 31. The lifting and translating return mechanism 32 also includes a lifting motor, which can drive the translating return mechanism to rise and fall to the same height as the first lifting and translating assembly 1a and the second lifting and translating assembly 1b, respectively, so that the translating return mechanism can move the pallet onto the first lifting and translating assembly 1a and the second lifting and translating assembly 1b, thereby realizing the cross-layer transfer of the pallet between the first conveying assembly 2 and the second conveying assembly 2a. The lifting and translating return mechanism and the translating return mechanism are conventional technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0053] The working principle of the dual-channel tray transplanting device described in this utility model is as follows:

[0054] An empty pallet enters the first conveying assembly 2 from the pallet buffer end 4. When the empty pallet moves to the loading station 42, the second limiting assembly stops the pallet on the first lifting and translating assembly 1a. The robot arm 9 loads the material into the pallet. After loading, the full pallet moves linearly to the unloading end 44 or moves to the unloading station 43 via the first lifting and translating assembly 1a, depending on the actual working conditions. Taking the latter as an example, the lifting and translating return assembly 3 is positioned, the lifting mechanism first raises the pallet to be able to slide over the roller 8, and the translating mechanism then translates the pallet to the lifting and translating return assembly 3. After the lifting and translating return assembly 3 receives the pallet, it is translated to the unloading station 43. After the pallet is unloaded, the second lifting... The lifting mechanism of the translation component 1b rises and waits. The lifting and translation return component 3 lowers the pallet to the same height as the second lifting and translation component 1b. Then, the lifting and translation return component 3 moves the pallet onto the translation mechanism of the second lifting and translation component 1b. The lifting mechanism of the second lifting and translation component 1b lowers and places the pallet on the second conveying component 2a. If there is still material on the pallet at this time, the second conveying component 2a moves the pallet to the unloading end 45. After unloading, the empty pallet is moved to the pallet buffer end 41 for storage. If the pallet is empty at this time, the second conveying component 2a directly moves the pallet to the pallet buffer end 41 for storage, thus realizing the pallet conveying and return.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
