[0001] This utility model discloses a material stacking mechanism, belonging to the field of automation equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] In today's automated production lines, many plastic parts need to be packaged after injection molding to facilitate transportation and protect the products. Stacking is the most common method for storing and packaging materials. In the current technology, after the product is manufactured, the various materials are often stacked manually. Manual stacking is inefficient and unhygienic. For materials with high hygiene requirements, such as medical products, manual stacking may cause contamination.

[0003] To achieve automated online sorting and packaging, this utility model designs a product stacking mechanism implemented on a turntable. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Element in the present invention is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element; it may be directly on another element or may have an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or may have an intervening element present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a material stacking mechanism, including a material storage mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 2, and a lifting mechanism 3. The material storage mechanism 1 includes a support plate 11 and a clamping mechanism. A first opening 111 is formed on the support plate 11, and a plurality of baffles 13 are provided on the support plate 11. Each baffle 13 is located on the outer periphery of the first opening 111, and a stacking interval 14 is formed between the baffles 13. Preferably, a stacking interval can be provided with 2 to 5 baffles 13, and each baffle 13 is evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the first opening 111.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the clamping mechanisms are arranged in pairs. Each clamping mechanism includes a clamping cylinder 15, a connecting bracket 16, and a clamping member 12. The clamping cylinder 15 is connected to the connecting bracket 16, and the connecting bracket 16 is connected to the clamping member 12. The clamping members 12 of the two clamping mechanisms are arranged opposite to each other, with a gap formed between adjacent baffles 13. The clamping member 12 is located in the gap between the baffles 13, and the clamping member 12 corresponds to the position of the stacking section 14. When the clamping cylinder 15 extends, it drives the clamping member 12 to move through the connecting bracket 16. The oppositely arranged clamping member 12 moves towards the stacking section, clamping the material 4 in the stacking section 14; conversely, it releases the material. Specifically, as shown... Figures 3-6 As shown, the clamping cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 11. The connecting bracket includes a base plate and a side plate. The base plate is connected to the movable part of the clamping cylinder 15. The support plate 11 is provided with a second opening 112. The side plate passes through the second opening 112. The clamping member 12 is located on the top surface of the support plate 11 and is connected to the top of the side plate.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a power mechanism 21, a slide rail 22, a slider 24, a fixed plate 25, and a gripper 26. The power mechanism 21 is a rodless cylinder, which is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 25. The slide rail 22 is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed plate 25. The slider 24 is slidably connected to the slide rail. The sliding member 211 of the rodless cylinder is connected to the slider 24 through a connecting member 23. The sliding member 211 can drive the slider 24 to slide. The gripper 26 is fixedly connected to the slider 24. When the slider 24 slides to the feeding end, the material 4 can be placed on the gripper 26 by the robot. When the slider 24 slides to the other end, the gripper 26 is above the lifting mechanism 3.

[0031] It should be noted that a combination of a motor and a lead screw can also be used to replace the rodless cylinder, as long as the slider 24 can slide on the slide rail 21.

[0032] like Figures 8-10As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a fixed base 33, a lifting cylinder 31, and a support frame 32. The lifting cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 33, and the support frame 32 is connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 31. The bottom of the stacking section forms a first opening 111 on the support plate 11. When the lifting cylinder 31 is activated, the support frame 32 can lift the material 4 on the gripper 26, so that the material 4 enters the stacking section through the first opening 111 of the support plate 11.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model can also be equipped with a height measuring device, which includes a fixed bracket 51 and a sensor 52. The fixed bracket is an adjustable bracket, and the sensor 52 is mounted on the fixed bracket 51. The sensor 52 can be set according to the actual stacking height. The sensor 52 can be a photoelectric sensor or a distance measuring sensor. If a photoelectric sensor is selected, a reflector 53 can be set on the support plate 11. If the reflector 53 can receive the photoelectric sensor signal, it means that the stack is not yet full. If the reflector 53 cannot receive the photoelectric sensor signal, it means that the stack is full.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the material storage mechanism 1 is a turntable, and the support plate 11 is the disc of the turntable. The support plate 11 is divided into a loading area and a unloading area, and the stacking section is located within the loading area and the unloading area. During the rotation of the turntable, the stacking section 14 of both the loading area and the unloading area can rotate to be above the lifting mechanism 3. The loading area has two stacking sections, and the unloading area also has two stacking sections. Correspondingly, the lifting mechanism 3 also has two support frames 32, and the loading mechanism 2 has two grippers 26. When the two stacking sections 14 of the loading area rotate to be above the two support frames 32 of the lifting mechanism 3, the two grippers 26 are directly below the two stacking sections 14. When the loading mechanism 2 loads materials, the two grippers 26 of the loading mechanism 2 are directly above the two support frames 32 of the lifting mechanism 3. It should be noted that setting two stacking intervals 14 in the loading or unloading area is only a preferred option. Of course, only one stacking interval can be set, or more stacking intervals 14 can be set, preferably 1 to 5 stacking intervals 14. Of course, the number of stacking intervals in the loading and unloading areas must be consistent.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The turntable rotates, causing the stacking area 14 of the feeding area to be above the support frame 32 of the lifting mechanism 3. The material 4 is placed on the gripper 26 of the feeding area 2. The rodless cylinder drives the slider to slide from the feeding end. After it is in place, it is above the support frame 32 of the lifting mechanism 3. Figure 9 As shown, the lifting mechanism 3, when its support frame 32 is activated, lifts the material 4 from the gripper 26 to the first height. At this time, the clamping mechanism on the turntable opens, and then... Figure 10 As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 continues to lift, raising the material 4 to the second height. Then, the clamping mechanism on the turntable closes. This action is repeated. After the material in the stacking area of ​​the feeding area is stacked to a certain quantity, the turntable rotates, and the feeding area that was previously filled with material becomes the unloading area. The clamping mechanism opens, and the stacked material can be taken out to the packaging area for packaging. The stacking area in the previous unloading area becomes the stacking area of ​​the feeding area, and the filling material continues to be stacked. This process is repeated.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, this utility model can realize the automatic stacking of materials, improve work efficiency, and avoid the risk of material contamination; in addition, the stacking height can be set as needed to facilitate subsequent packaging processes.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
