Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile production technology, and specifically to a stacking device for ceramic tiles. Background Technology

[0002] Tiles, as an important building and decorative material, are widely used in actual production and daily life. Actual tile production employs serialized, large-scale automated production, requiring finished tiles to be removed from the production line and stacked. However, current technology largely relies on manual stacking, which is extremely labor-intensive for the workers. Furthermore, the stacking process is prone to collisions and damage to the finished tiles. Additionally, manual stacking may result in uneven arrangement of the tiles, requiring later rearrangement and wasting time.

[0003] To address this problem, CN201920415085.8 discloses a device for neatly stacking ceramic tiles, including a frame. A first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the frame via ball bearings; a first transmission wheel is fixed to the circumference of the first rotating shaft; a second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame via ball bearings; and a second transmission wheel is rotatably connected to the circumference of the second rotating shaft via ball bearings. This invention uses the first rotating shaft to drive the first transmission wheel, moving the tiles. A first cylinder drives the second rotating shaft to rotate via a first connecting member. When the second rotating shaft rotates, it drives a push rod to stack the tiles on the surface of the transmission belt on a placement rack. Simultaneously, the second cylinder drives a third rotating shaft to rotate via a second connecting member. When the third rotating shaft rotates, it drives a stop bar to block the tiles, thus automating and mechanizing the tile stacking process, shortening the tile movement distance, and reducing manpower waste.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution allows for the placement of a rack on a parallel conveyor belt, which can be moved backward according to the stacking of the tiles. However, the rack cannot be moved, and it is difficult to remove the tiles from the rack and transport them to the next process once the rack is fully loaded. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] refer to Figure 1-4A stacking device for ceramic tiles includes a tile flipping mechanism 1, a horizontal drive mechanism 2, and a receiving rack 3. The receiving rack 3 is detachably connected to the horizontal drive mechanism 2 and is located at the output end of the tile flipping mechanism 1. The tile flipping mechanism 1 is used to flip and stack ceramic tiles on the receiving rack 3. The horizontal drive mechanism 2 is used to drive the receiving rack 3 to move away from or towards the tile flipping mechanism 1. The bottom of the receiving rack 3 is also provided with a connector 321, which is used to detachably connect to an external forklift.

[0026] It should be noted that this tile stacking device needs to be used in conjunction with an external tile conveying device, especially in tile production lines.

[0027] In this design, the tiles are conveyed to the tile stacking device and first enter the tile flipping mechanism 1. The tile flipping mechanism 1 flips the tiles onto the receiving rack 3. When the number of tiles on the receiving rack 3 reaches a certain amount, the horizontal drive mechanism 2 drives the receiving rack 3 to move away from the tile flipping mechanism 1 to make room for flipping. This continues until the number of tiles on the receiving rack 3 reaches the preset full load. At this point, skilled technicians need to secure and bind the tiles on the receiving rack 3. Then, the receiving rack 3 and the tiles are detachably connected via an external forklift and connector 321 to be transported as a whole to the next process. Finally, the idle receiving rack 3 can be connected to the horizontal drive mechanism 2, which drives the receiving rack 3 to move towards the tile flipping mechanism 1 to continue working. In this way, the receiving rack 3 can not only be moved backward according to the stacking situation of the tiles, but also, when the receiving rack 3 is full, it can be detachably connected via a forklift and connector 321 at the bottom of the receiving rack 3 to be transported as a whole, facilitating the transfer of stacked tiles.

[0028] In this embodiment, the horizontal drive mechanism 2 includes a frame 21, a support plate 22, and a drive assembly 23. The support plate 22 is slidably connected to the frame 21, and the drive assembly 23 is connected to the support plate 22. The support plate 22 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 221, and the bottom of the receiving rack 3 is provided with a plurality of connecting posts 3111 that match the mounting holes 221.

[0029] In practical applications, the receiving rack 3 is detachably connected to the mounting hole 221 of the support plate 22 via the connecting column 3111 at its bottom. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the connection between the receiving rack 3 and the support plate 22, but also facilitates disassembly. During use, the support plate 22 is driven to move along the length of the frame 21 by the drive component 23, thereby driving the receiving rack 3 to move along the length of the frame 21.

[0030] Preferably, the frame 21 has sliding grooves 211 on both sides, and the support plate 22 has first sliders 222 on both sides that match the sliding grooves 211. The support plate 22 achieves a sliding connection through the cooperation of the first sliders 222 and the sliding grooves 211.

[0031] Preferably, the drive assembly 23 includes a drive motor 231, a screw 232, and a second slider 233. One end of the screw 232 is connected to the drive motor 231, the second slider 233 is connected to the bottom of the support frame 15, and the other end of the screw 232 is threadedly connected to the second slider 233.

[0032] Specifically, the screw 232 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 231, and the second slider 233 moves along the length of the screw 232 to achieve horizontal drive. Furthermore, the stability of the movement of the support plate 22 is ensured by the cooperation of the first sliders 222 on both sides of the support plate 22 during the movement.

[0033] In this embodiment, the receiving rack 3 includes a base frame 31 and a side frame 32. The side frame 32 is connected to one end of the base frame 31. The bottom of the base frame 31 is provided with at least three support columns 311. The support columns 311 are provided with connecting grooves 3112. The connecting grooves 3112 are provided with springs 31121. The connecting column 3111 is connected to the springs 31121 and is movably connected to the connecting grooves 3112. The connecting member 321 is located at the bottom of the side frame 32.

[0034] During use, the tiles are stacked vertically, meaning the bottom of the tiles is stacked on the base frame 31, and the sides of the tiles abut against the side frame 32. By setting a spring 31121 inside the support column 311, and connecting the connecting column 3111 to the spring 31121 and movably connecting it to the connecting groove 3112 inside the support column 311, when the receiving rack 3 is placed on the ground, the spring 31121 is in a contracted state, and the connecting column 3111 is completely located in the connecting groove 3112. At this time, the receiving rack 3 is supported by the support column 311, ensuring the stability of the receiving rack 3. When the receiving rack 3 is connected to the support plate 22, the spring 31121 is in a relaxed state. At this time, one end of the connecting column 3111 protrudes from the bottom of the support column 311 and is located in the mounting hole 221, while the bottom of the support column 311 abuts against the top of the support plate 22.

[0035] Preferably, the connector 321 is a connecting block, and the connecting block is provided with a through groove 3211. When transportation is required, those skilled in the art can connect it to the through groove 3211 using an external forklift.

[0036] In this embodiment, the tile flipping mechanism 1 includes a support base 11, a first rotating shaft 12, a second rotating shaft 13, a conveyor belt assembly 14, a support frame 15, and a flipping drive assembly 16. The top of the support base 11 is an inclined surface. The first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13 are both rotatably connected to the support base 11 and are arranged inclined along the inclined surface. The lowest point of the inclined surface is the output end. The support base 11 is provided with a drive mechanism 112 for driving the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate. The drive mechanism 112 is connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 12. One end of the conveyor belt assembly 14 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 12, and the other end of the conveyor belt assembly 14 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 13. The support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 13. The flipping drive assembly 16 is connected to one side of the support base 11. The flipping drive assembly 16 is used to drive the second rotating shaft 13 to rotate, so that the support frame 15 swings around the axis of the second rotating shaft 13.

[0037] The conveyor belt assembly 14 includes a belt 141, a first drive wheel 142, and a second drive wheel 143. One end of the conveyor belt assembly 14 is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft 13. This means that the first drive wheel 142 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 12, and the second drive wheel 143 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 13. The belt 141 is fitted onto the first drive wheel 142 and the second drive wheel 143. The first drive wheel 142 provides power through the first rotating shaft 12, thereby causing the belt 141 to rotate. The second drive wheel 143 simply powers the belt 141. 41 provides a support point. The function of the second rotating shaft 13 is to drive the support frame 15 to swing around the axis of the second rotating shaft 13 through the flip drive assembly 16. Specifically, the support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 13, and the flip drive assembly 16 drives the second rotating shaft 13 to rotate, thereby causing the support frame 15 to swing around the axis of the second rotating shaft 13, realizing the flipping function. During the rotation of the second rotating shaft 13, since the second transmission wheel 143 and the second rotating shaft 13 are rotatably connected, the second transmission wheel 143 is not affected. Therefore, the movement of the second rotating shaft 13 and the movement of the second transmission wheel 143 are relatively independent. For details, please refer to the technical solution disclosed in Chinese Patent CN216072113U. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 112 can be a motor.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, a first guide component 17 and a second guide component 18 are further included. The first guide component 17 is symmetrically arranged on the support base 11 and located on both sides of the conveyor belt assembly 14. The second guide component 18 is rotatably connected to the support base 11 and located between the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13.

[0039] Specifically, the function of the first guiding component 17 and the second guiding component 18 is to guide the tile when it enters the tile flipping mechanism 1. The first guiding component 17 guides both sides of the tile, and the second guiding component 18 guides one end of the tile, which can accurately correct the position of the tile and prevent damage to the tile during flipping due to tile displacement. The first guiding component 17 and the second guiding component 18 are prior art. For the specific structure of the first guiding component 17 and the second guiding component 18, please refer to the technical solution disclosed in Chinese Patent CN216072113U.

[0040] Preferably, the support frame 15 is further provided with an elastic wheel 151, which is rotatably connected to the support frame 15. Using the elastic wheel 151 reduces friction with the tile, thus better protecting the tile.

[0041] Preferably, the flipping drive assembly 16 includes a drive cylinder 161 and a connecting plate 162. The two ends of the second rotating shaft 13 protrude from the support base 11. The side of the support base 11 is provided with a fixing plate 111. The cylinder body of the drive cylinder 161 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 111. The power output part of the drive cylinder 161 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting plate 162. The other end of the connecting plate 162 is fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 13.

[0042] In actual operation, the power output of the drive cylinder 161 pushes one end of the connecting plate 162. Since the other end of the connecting plate 162 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 13, the connecting plate 162 will drive the second rotating shaft 13 to rotate under the push of the drive cylinder 161. The cylinder body of the drive cylinder 161 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 111, which makes the drive cylinder 161 more flexible. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 13 drives the support frame 15 to swing around the second rotating shaft 13, thereby realizing the flipping of the tile.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements or modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements or modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
