Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer technology, specifically to an automatic loading and turnover device. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as electronics manufacturing, automotive parts processing, and food processing, pallets are commonly used to transport materials in batches, ensuring a smooth workflow. Currently, conventional production lines typically have empty pallet loading areas and full pallet placement areas at both ends, with material transfer equipment in the middle to load materials into empty pallets.

[0003] However, this traditional technical solution has significant drawbacks: First, due to the lack of a high-precision positioning and control system, the deviation during material loading and pallet transfer is large, making it difficult to meet the assembly accuracy requirements of high-end manufacturing.

[0004] Secondly, the excessive space occupied by their multi-layered stacking or long-distance linear layout significantly limits the efficient utilization of factory space. Most importantly, pallet transport can only move unidirectionally along fixed tracks, requiring manual intervention after each cycle, making it difficult to adapt to diverse production scenarios. Furthermore, the independent processes of empty pallet loading, material loading, and full pallet unloading lack coordination, resulting in fragmented operations and hindering continuous and efficient pallet flow. These problems directly lead to insufficient pallet handling capacity on the production line, frequently causing stagnation due to untimely pallet supply or delayed transfers, severely restricting production efficiency and enterprise capacity improvement. Innovative technologies are urgently needed to address these pain points. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Example: See Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic loading and turnover device, which includes: a pallet input mechanism 100 and a pallet output mechanism 200 arranged parallel to each other along a first direction X, wherein the discharge end of the pallet input mechanism 100 and the feed end of the pallet output mechanism 200 are arranged in the same direction; two turnover docking mechanisms 300, which respectively dock to the discharge end of the pallet input mechanism 100 and the feed end of the pallet output mechanism 200, and the pallet enters the pallet output mechanism 200 from the pallet input mechanism 100 through the two turnover docking mechanisms 300. One of the turnover docking mechanisms 300 includes a bottom adjustment component 320 and a top positioning component 340. The bottom adjustment component 320 supports the pallet 600 and includes a lifting frame 322 and a drive belt. 321, the transmission surface of the drive belt 321 can move along the second direction Y and is connected to the lifting frame 322.

The plurality of push blocks 343 are connected to the pressure plate 342 and can move towards / away from the clearance opening in the horizontal direction respectively; the feeding mechanism 400 is connected to one of the turnover docking mechanisms 300 and includes a plurality of feeding adsorption members 440 that can move above the bottom adjusting component 320.

[0028] The automatic loading and turnover equipment described in this embodiment loads empty pallets 600 via a pallet input mechanism 100. Then, a turnover docking mechanism 300 positions the empty pallets 600, and the loading mechanism 400 loads the empty pallets 600. After loading, the pallets are then transported to the pallet output mechanism 200 via another turnover docking mechanism 300 until full pallets 600 are unloaded, thus completing a complete loading and turnover process. During this process, the turnover docking mechanism 300 repeatedly positions the pallets 600 to ensure the precision of its fit with the loading mechanism 400, thereby improving loading quality. Simultaneously, the turnover docking mechanism 300 connects the pallet input mechanism 100 and the pallet output mechanism 200 for stable transmission. This not only reduces the space occupied by conventional production lines but also improves the efficiency and stability of the transmission process. Compared to existing conventional loading and turnover technologies, this application offers advantages such as flexibility, high degree of structural fit, wide applicability, small footprint, and significantly improved transmission efficiency and quality, making it a promising technology in the industry.

[0029] It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this embodiment, the length direction of the pallet input mechanism 100 or the pallet output mechanism 200 is defined as the first direction X, the width direction of the pallet input mechanism 100 or the pallet output mechanism 200 is defined as the second direction Y, and the height direction of the device is defined as the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are located in the same plane.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pallet input mechanism 100 is used to load empty pallets 600, and the pallet output mechanism 200 is used to unload full pallets 600. The pallet input mechanism 100 includes a first transmission line 110, and the pallet output mechanism 200 includes a second transmission line 210, the second transmission line 210 having a transmission direction opposite to the first transmission line 110. Specifically, both the first transmission line 110 and the second transmission line 210 are configured as conveyor rollers. Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first transmission line 110 and the second transmission line 210 can be equipped with detection sensors to improve the precise control of their transmission process.

[0031] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, the pallet input mechanism 100 in this embodiment includes a feeding adjustment component 120 to adjust the angle of the empty pallet entering the turnover docking mechanism 300. The feeding adjustment component 120 is located in the middle of the first transmission line 110 and includes two supports 121 and two positioning blocks 122 connected to both sides of the first transmission line 110. The positioning blocks 122 are correspondingly arranged with the supports 121, and the two positioning blocks 122 can move closer to or further away from each other to position the corners of the pallet 600. Furthermore, the positioning blocks 122 in this embodiment can push the two corners on the diagonal of the pallet 600. In different embodiments, other numbers of supports 121 and positioning blocks 122 can be set according to actual usage requirements.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the turnover docking mechanism 300 in this embodiment includes a connecting frame 360, which provides an installation and connection platform for other structures in the turnover docking mechanism 300. Further, at least one limiting block 330 is provided on the connecting frame 360, the limiting block 330 being disposed on the edge of the transmission roller 310 in the first direction X, to limit the movement distance of the pallet 600 in the first direction X. In addition, guardrails 500 are provided at the ends of the first transmission line 110 and the second transmission line 210.

[0033] In this embodiment, any of the turnover docking mechanisms 300 includes drive rollers 310, which are spaced apart along a first direction X and can dock at the discharge end of the pallet input mechanism 100 or the inlet end of the pallet output mechanism 200 to receive pallets 600 and transfer them into the turnover docking mechanism 300. The drive belt 321 can move from below to above the drive rollers 310 along a third direction Z through the gap between adjacent drive rollers 310, thereby lifting the empty pallets 600 entering the turnover docking mechanism 300 so that they can be subsequently transferred by the drive belt 321. Specifically, the bottom adjustment assembly 320 in this embodiment also includes a lifting frame 322 and a lifting driver (not shown in the figure). The lifting frame 322 is connected to the working end of the lifting driver to move up and down along a third direction Z. The drive belt 321 is connected to the top of the lifting frame 322 and moves up and down synchronously with the lifting frame 322. The lifting frame 322 can be raised and lowered using a lifting cylinder, linear motor, etc. The relative connection position between the lifting driver and the lifting frame 322 can also be adjusted according to actual usage requirements, and this utility model does not impose specific limitations in this regard. Based on the adjustment function of the bottom adjustment component 320, after the empty pallet 600 enters the turnover docking mechanism 300, its position in the second direction Y can be adjusted by the drive belt 321 to facilitate high-precision matching with subsequent structures.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the top positioning component 340 in the embodiment can press and position the tray 600, and the pressure plate 342 can press the edge of the tray 600. Furthermore, the top positioning component 340 also includes a lifting module 341, which extends along the third direction Z, and the pressure plate 342 is slidably connected to the lifting module 341. Meanwhile, the turnover docking mechanism 300 in this embodiment also includes a dust collection component 350. The dust collection component 350 is connected to the turnover docking mechanism 300 that docks with the tray input mechanism 100. It includes a dust collection horizontal module 351, a dust collection lifting module 352, a slide rod 354, and at least one suction component 353. The dust collection horizontal module 351 extends along the second direction Y, the slide rod 354 is slidably connected to the dust collection horizontal module 351, the dust collection lifting module 352 extends along the third direction Z and is disposed on the slide rod 354, and the suction component 353 is slidably connected to the dust collection lifting module 352. Based on this, when the pressure plate 342 presses and fixes the tray 600, the dust collection component 350 can perform dust removal on the empty tray 600 to ensure its cleanliness before loading.

[0035] Further, see Figure 6 As shown, the feeding mechanism 400 in this embodiment includes a feeding horizontal module 410, a feeding lifting module 420, a slide 430, and multiple feeding suction components 440. The feeding horizontal module 410 extends along a first direction X. The feeding lifting module 420 is slidably connected to the feeding horizontal module 410 and extends along a third direction Z. The slide 430 is slidably connected to the feeding lifting module 420. The multiple feeding suction components 440 are respectively connected to the slide 430 and move synchronously with the slide 430. In this embodiment, the multiple feeding suction components 440 can adjust their relative positional relationship with the slide 430 to precisely control their actual working position.

[0036] In addition, the automatic loading and turnover equipment also includes a control mechanism. The pallet input mechanism 100, the pallet output mechanism 200, the turnover docking mechanism 300 and the feeding mechanism 400 are respectively connected to the control mechanism. In the actual production and processing process, the operator can adjust the above structure in real time through the control mechanism, thereby improving the flexibility of the equipment. The operator can also preset parameters through the control mechanism, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0037] In summary, the automatic loading and turnover equipment described in this utility model loads empty pallets 600 via a pallet input mechanism 100. Then, a turnover docking mechanism 300 positions the empty pallets 600, and the loading mechanism 400 loads the empty pallets 600. The loaded pallets are then transported to the pallet output mechanism 200 via another turnover docking mechanism 300 until a full pallet 600 is unloaded, thus completing a complete loading and turnover process. During this process, the turnover docking mechanism 300 repeatedly positions the pallets 600 to ensure the precision of its alignment with the loading mechanism 400, thereby improving loading quality. Simultaneously, the turnover docking mechanism 300 connects the pallet input mechanism 100 and the pallet output mechanism 200 for stable transmission. This not only reduces the space occupied by conventional production lines but also improves the efficiency and stability of the transmission process. Compared with existing conventional conveying and feeding technologies, this application has the advantages of flexible use, high degree of compatibility of various structures, wide range of applications, small space occupation, and significant improvement in conveying efficiency and quality, and has broad application prospects in this industry.
