Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pallet loading technology, specifically, to an automatic pallet loading device for materials. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, the efficient transportation and storage of materials are crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of the production process. Pallets, as a common carrier for material handling and storage, have a significant impact on the efficiency and accuracy of their loading operations on the entire production supply chain.
[0003] Traditional pallet loading operations rely primarily on manual labor. Workers must move materials one by one and place them onto pallets, stacking them according to specific rules. This method is not only labor-intensive but also has limited speed, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency production. Furthermore, manual operation is prone to improper stacking, such as misaligned material placement or uneven stacking height. This can lead to material tipping or damage during subsequent handling and storage, increasing production costs and posing safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic material pallet loading device.
[0005] The present invention solves the above problems through the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic pallet loading device includes: a first support frame disposed at the front and rear of a conveying mechanism on the sides, and a loading mechanism disposed on the first support frame;
[0007] A conveyor belt is installed in the U-shaped limiting groove at the top of the conveying mechanism, and a pallet, also limited and supported by the U-shaped limiting groove, is placed above the front and rear conveyor belts so that the pallet can be moved left and right along the conveying mechanism by the conveyor belt. Slots that cooperate with the loading mechanism are provided on the front and rear sides of the pallet. Two loading mechanisms are respectively set on the outside of the first support frame. The loading mechanism is equipped with a telescopic component, a moving component, and a plug plate that cooperates with the slot, which are connected in sequence. One end of the telescopic component is fixed to the outside of the first support frame, and the other end is connected to the moving component to drive the moving component to move up and down. The plug plate is installed on the moving component and can move back and forth with the moving component to cooperate with the slot of the pallet to lift the pallet.
[0008] As a further improvement, a limiting plate is provided at the top of the first support frame to limit the front and rear movement of the pallet.
[0009] As a further improvement, the telescopic component includes a hydraulic cylinder, a connecting plate, and fixed rods. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the first support frame, and the other end, i.e. the output end, is connected to the connecting plate. Several fixed rods are connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate to connect with the moving component through the fixed rods.
[0010] As a further improvement, the telescopic assembly is also provided with a support plate to fix the hydraulic cylinder to the first support frame.
[0011] As a further improvement, the moving component includes: an electric sliding sleeve, a slide rail, a bracket, and a force-bearing fixing plate. The end of the fixing rod away from the connecting plate is connected to the electric sliding sleeve. The slide rail is slidably arranged inside the electric sliding sleeve. The two ends of the slide rail are connected to the bracket. The bottom end of the bracket is connected to the force-bearing fixing plate. An insert plate is connected to the outer wall of the force-bearing fixing plate so that the electric sliding sleeve can slide back and forth on the slide rail to drive the insert plate to cooperate with the slot of the tray.
[0012] As a further improvement, a reinforcing block is connected to the bottom end of the support plate, and a retractable support telescopic rod is connected to the bottom end of the reinforcing block. The end of the support telescopic rod away from the reinforcing block is connected to the force-bearing fixed plate.
[0013] As a further improvement, the top surface of the force-bearing fixing plate is provided with a through groove, which is used to support the end of the telescopic rod away from the reinforcing block and connect it to the inner wall of the through groove.
[0014] As a further improvement, the outer wall of the force-bearing fixing plate is connected to at least two insert plates.
[0015] As a further improvement, a rubber plate is provided on the top surface of the insert plate.
[0016] As a further improvement, the conveying mechanism includes a second support frame arranged at the front and rear. The upper part of the second support frame has a U-shaped limiting groove with an internal conveyor belt, and the top surface of the U-shaped limiting groove is provided with a limiting strip to limit the position of the pallet.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) By starting the hydraulic cylinder, the output end of the present invention will drive the bottom force-fixed plate and the insert plate to move up and down. When the insert plate moves to the slot position at the bottom of the pallet, the electric sliding sleeve drives the slide rail to move to the rear side, thereby driving the insert plate to move and insert into the inner wall of the slot. By starting the hydraulic cylinder again, the pallet is driven to move upward, and then the next pallet is transported to the position below the previous pallet. Then the lifted pallet is placed on top of the transported pallet to complete the loading and stacking. This eliminates the need for manual loading by workers, reduces labor intensity, and ensures that the loading height is uniform.
[0019] (2) This utility model places the pallet on the conveyor belt and then transports the pallet by the conveyor belt. The limiting strip on the top surface of the second support frame can limit the two sides of the support feet at the bottom of the pallet to prevent the pallet from shifting or falling during transportation. The rubber plate set on the top surface of the insert plate can increase the friction between the insert plate and the inner wall of the slot at the bottom of the pallet, thereby improving the stability of the pallet during loading and stacking.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Example
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an automatic pallet loading device includes: a first support frame 1 arranged front and rear on the sides of a conveying mechanism 32; a limiting plate 2 connected to the front and rear top of the first support frame 1 to limit the front and rear movement of a pallet 4; and a loading mechanism 31 arranged on the first support frame 1. A conveyor belt 322 is provided in a U-shaped limiting groove on the upper part of the conveying mechanism 32, and a pallet 4, also limited and supported by the U-shaped limiting groove, is placed above the front and rear conveyor belts 322, so that the pallet 4 can be moved left and right along the conveying mechanism 32 by the conveyor belts 322. Slots that cooperate with the loading mechanism 31 are provided on the front and rear sides of the pallet 4. Two loading mechanisms 31 are respectively arranged on the outer side of the first support frame 1. Each loading mechanism 31 has a telescopic component, a moving component, and an insert plate 319 that cooperates with the slot, connected in sequence. One end of the telescopic component is fixed to the outer side of the first support frame 1, and the other end is connected to the moving component to drive the moving component to move up and down. The insert plate 319 is installed on the moving component and can move back and forth with the moving component to cooperate with the slot of the pallet 4 to lift the pallet.
[0028] Specifically, the loading mechanism 31 includes a support plate 311 fixed to the outer wall of the limiting plate 2 or the first support frame 1. A hydraulic cylinder 312 is installed at the top of the support plate 311. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 312 passes through the support plate 311 and is connected to a connecting plate 313. Several fixed rods 314 are connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 313, so that the support plate 311, the hydraulic cylinder 312, the connecting plate 313 and the fixed rods 314 form a telescopic assembly. An electric sliding sleeve 315 is connected to the end of the fixed rod 314 away from the connecting plate 313. A slide rail 316 is slidably arranged inside the electric sliding sleeve 315. 16 is connected to brackets 317 at both ends, and a force-bearing fixing plate 318 is connected to the bottom end of the brackets 317, so as to form a moving assembly through the electric sliding sleeve 315, the slide rail 316, the brackets 317 and the force-bearing fixing plate 318; an insert plate 319 is connected to the outer wall of one end of the force-bearing fixing plate 318, and a rubber plate 324 is provided on the top surface of the insert plate 319; preferably, a reinforcing block 3110 is connected to the bottom end of the support plate 311, and a retractable support telescopic rod 3111 is connected to the bottom end of the reinforcing block 3110, and the end of the support telescopic rod 3111 away from the reinforcing block 3110 is connected to the force-bearing fixing plate 318.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two insert plates 319, but other numbers can also be used. The insert plates 319 are distributed symmetrically on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the force-fixing plate 318, so that the left and right sides of the pallet can be inserted to ensure the stability of the pallet.
[0030] Furthermore, there are two reinforcing blocks 3110 and two supporting telescopic rods 3111. Similarly, the number can also be set to other values, and this utility model does not limit this. The reinforcing blocks 3110 and the supporting telescopic rods 3111 are distributed on the left and right sides of the bottom end of the support plate 311 in a left-right symmetrical structure, which can strengthen the support strength of the support plate 311 and improve the stability during the loading and stacking process.
[0031] Furthermore, the top surface of the load-bearing fixing plate 318 is provided with a through groove, which is used to support the end of the support telescopic rod 3111 away from the reinforcing block 3110 and connect it to the inner wall of the through groove, so that the connection strength between the support plate 311 and the load-bearing fixing plate 318 can be strengthened by supporting the telescopic rod 3111.
[0032] The conveying mechanism 32 includes a second support frame 321 disposed on one side of the first support frame 1, a conveyor belt 322 disposed at the top of the second support frame 321, and a limit bar 323 disposed on the top surface of the second support frame 321.
[0033] Furthermore, there are two limiting strips 323 distributed on the second support frame 321. The limiting strips 323 are distributed in a symmetrical structure on the second support frame 321, which can limit the two sides of the pallet's support feet and prevent it from shifting or falling during transportation.
[0034] Furthermore, the second support frame 321 is distributed on both sides of the first support frame 1, thereby providing support for the pallet from both sides and ensuring the stability of the pallet during transportation. The upper part of the second support frame 321 has a U-shaped limiting groove with an internal conveyor belt 322, and the top surface of the U-shaped limiting groove is provided with a limiting strip 323 to limit the pallet 4.
[0035] The implementation principle of the automatic pallet loading device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0036] First, the pallet is placed on the second support frame 321. The pallet moves as the conveying mechanism 32 operates. When the first pallet reaches the first support frame 1, the conveying stops. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 312 is activated, causing the connecting plate 313 to move downwards. This downward movement of the connecting plate 313 moves the fixing rod 314 downwards. The fixing rod 314 then moves the electric sliding sleeve 315 and the slide rail 316 downwards, which in turn moves the force-bearing fixing plate 318 downwards. This downward movement of the force-bearing fixing plate 318 moves the insert plate 319 downwards, placing it below the first support frame 1. At this point, the insert plate 319 is positioned in the slot at the bottom of the pallet. Once in the correct position, the electric sliding sleeve 315 is activated, causing the slide rail 316 to move to the left. Rail 316 can move the force-fixing plate 318 and insert plate 319 to the left, so that insert plate 319 can be inserted into the slot at the bottom of the pallet. Then, the output end of hydraulic cylinder 312 is activated to reset and shorten, causing connecting plate 313 to move upward, thereby moving force-fixing plate 318 and insert plate 319 upward. As insert plate 319 moves upward, the inserted pallet can be moved upward, so that the bottom of the pallet is disengaged from the upper end of the second support frame 321. Then, pallet is continued to be transported, so that the second pallet moves directly under the first pallet that has been lifted. Then, the output end of hydraulic cylinder 312 is activated again to extend downward, moving the first pallet above the second pallet. This completes the pallet loading. Then, the above operation is repeated to automate pallet loading and stacking without manual loading by workers, reducing labor intensity and ensuring uniform loading height.
[0037] By placing the pallet on the second support frame 321 and simultaneously on the top of the conveyor belt 322, the pallet can be moved by starting the conveyor belt 322. The two side limit strips 323 provided on the top surface of the second support frame 321 can limit the two side support feet of the pallet to prevent the pallet from shifting or falling during movement. At the same time, the rubber plate 324 provided on the top surface of the insert plate 319 can contact the inner wall of the slot at the bottom of the pallet, thereby increasing the friction and ensuring the stability of the pallet during the stacking process.
[0038] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to illustrative embodiments, the above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can design many other modifications and implementations, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed in this application.
