Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and warehousing equipment, and in particular to a bin stacking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics warehousing equipment is equipment used for logistics warehousing. It mainly includes racks, stackers, handling vehicles, inbound and outbound conveyor equipment, sorting equipment, elevators, handling robots, and computer management and monitoring systems. These devices can form automated, semi-automated, and mechanized commercial warehouses to stack, store, retrieve, sort, and transport goods.

[0003] To enable efficient and precise stacking of bins, bin stacking mechanisms are required. In modern logistics warehousing and manufacturing processes, bins are commonly used as carriers for storing and handling goods. The efficiency and quality of their stacking operations directly affect the operational efficiency and cost of the entire logistics system. However, existing bin stacking methods and equipment have many problems. Some traditional stacking equipment has limited automation functions. They may only be able to perform simple lifting operations and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to factors such as bin size. For example, some simple stacker cranes cannot automatically adapt to the size of bins of different specifications for clamping and handling, requiring manual assistance for adjustment, which greatly reduces stacking efficiency.

[0004] To address these issues, we propose a bin stacking mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bin stacking mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A bin stacking mechanism includes a base, a square bin fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a servo motor fixedly connected to the upper surface of the square bin, a lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, a screw assembly threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw, two transmission rods fixedly connected to the outer surface of the screw assembly, two square sliding frames fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the base, a sliding cylinder slidably connected inside each square sliding frame, the outer surface of each transmission rod fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding cylinder, a main bracket fixedly connected to the right end of the two sliding cylinders, and a clamping structure installed on the upper surface of the main bracket.

[0008] The two sliding cylinders are slidably connected to a U-shaped carriage inside, and the right side of the U-shaped carriage is fixedly connected to the left side of the auxiliary bracket. The bottom surface of the main bracket has two guide grooves, and the auxiliary bracket is slidably connected inside the two guide grooves. The adjacent sides of the two transmission rods are fixedly connected to a connecting seat. An electric cylinder is installed on the inner wall of the connecting seat, and the output end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the U-shaped carriage.

[0009] In a further embodiment, a plurality of casters are fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the base.

[0010] In a further embodiment, a counterweight is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, and the counterweight is located on the left side of the square box.

[0011] In a further embodiment, a square opening is provided on the right side of the square box, and the square opening does not affect the movement of the connecting seat and the electric cylinder.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the clamping structure includes a bracket mounted on the upper surface of the main bracket, and two electric push rods are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the bracket, with a clamping plate fixedly connected to the output end of each electric push rod.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the outer surface of the bracket is provided with a guide groove, and two slide rods are slidably connected inside the guide groove. The outer surface of each slide rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the clamping plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This device uses a servo motor to drive a lead screw, which in turn drives the transmission rod, sliding cylinder, and main support frame to achieve precise lifting and lowering movements. This allows the main support frame to be adjusted to different height positions. Simultaneously, an electric cylinder controls the extension and retraction of the U-shaped carriage and the auxiliary support frame. The U-shaped carriage can slide within the sliding cylinder during movement, thereby adjusting the left and right positions of the auxiliary support frame. This enables rapid adjustment of the support frame position to adapt to the stacking needs of different sized boxes. It can quickly transport boxes to designated stacking positions, greatly improving stacking efficiency and reducing cargo handling time. With the convenient retraction and extension functions of the main and auxiliary support frames, as well as its adaptability to different box sizes, its versatility is significantly enhanced. It can efficiently complete stacking tasks for various types of boxes. Attached Figure Description

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] Please see Figures 1-6 In this utility model, a bin stacking mechanism includes a base 1, a square bin 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a servo motor 6 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the square bin 2, a lead screw 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 6, a screw assembly 8 threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 7, two transmission rods 9 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the screw assembly 8, two square sliding frames 10 fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the base 1, a sliding cylinder 11 slidably connected inside each square sliding frame 10, and the outer surface of each transmission rod 9 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding cylinder 11. The right ends of the two sliding cylinders 11 are jointly fixedly connected to a main bracket 13. The servo motor 6 can be started to run, which drives the lead screw 7 to move the screw assembly 8 up and down. The movement of the screw assembly 8 drives the transmission rods 9 to move the sliding cylinders 11 up and down along the square sliding frames 10, so that when the sliding cylinders 11 move, they can move the main bracket 13 up and down, which is convenient for pushing the bins to different stacking heights and can quickly adjust the position of the bracket to adapt to the stacking needs of bins of different heights and distances.

[0027] A clamping structure 5 is installed on the upper surface of the main bracket 13. The clamping structure 5 includes a bracket 505 installed on the upper surface of the main bracket 13. Two electric push rods 501 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the bracket 505. The output end of each electric push rod 501 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 502. A guide groove 503 is opened on the outer surface of the bracket 505. Two sliding rods 504 are slidably connected inside the guide groove 503. The outer surface of each sliding rod 504 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the clamping plate 502. The electric push rods 501 in the clamping structure 5 can automatically adjust the spacing of the clamping plates 502 according to the size of the box, and stably clamp boxes of different specifications. The guide groove 503 and sliding rods 504 on the bracket 505 ensure the smooth movement of the clamping plate 502, improve the clamping accuracy and reliability, and enable the stacking mechanism to efficiently transport boxes of various shapes and sizes, meet diverse logistics operation needs, and enable the stacking mechanism to handle boxes of different shapes, sizes and weights.

[0028] The two sliding cylinders 11 are slidably connected to a U-shaped carriage 12, and the right side of the U-shaped carriage 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the auxiliary bracket 15. The bottom surface of the main bracket 13 has two guide grooves 14, and the auxiliary bracket 15 is slidably connected to the interior of the two guide grooves 14. A connecting seat 16 is fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two transmission rods 9. An electric cylinder 17 is installed on the inner wall of the connecting seat 16, and the output end of the electric cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the U-shaped carriage 12. This stacking mechanism, with its convenient retraction and expansion functions of the main bracket 13 and the auxiliary bracket 15, and its adaptability to different bin sizes, significantly improves its versatility. In actual logistics and warehousing environments, bin sizes vary greatly. The main bracket 13 and the auxiliary bracket 15 can be easily retracted or extended to precisely adapt to various types of boxes. For small boxes, the auxiliary bracket 15 can be retracted to a suitable position, and the main bracket 13 alone can provide stable support, avoiding the waste of space caused by an excessively large bracket area. At the same time, it can also ensure the stable lifting of small boxes. When facing large boxes, the auxiliary bracket 15 can be quickly extended to work together with the main bracket 13 to expand the support area and provide comprehensive and stable support for large boxes. For example, in e-commerce warehouses, there are small boxes for small items and large boxes for large appliances. The main and auxiliary brackets 15 of this stacking mechanism can quickly adapt to boxes of different sizes, greatly improving the efficiency of box handling and stacking.

[0029] Multiple casters 4 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base 1. The multiple casters 4 installed on the bottom surface of the base 1 allow the stacking mechanism to move easily in the warehouse and quickly adjust the working position according to actual work needs. A counterweight 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, and the counterweight 3 is located on the left side of the square box 2. The counterweight 3 is fixed on the upper surface of the base 1 on the left side of the square box 2, which can balance the center of gravity of the stacking mechanism during the handling and stacking of the boxes, prevent the equipment from tilting or tipping over due to an unstable center of gravity, and improve the safety and stability of the equipment operation.

[0030] A square opening 18 is provided on the right side of the square box 2, and the square opening 18 does not affect the movement of the connecting seat 16 and the electric cylinder 17. The square opening 18 on the right side of the square box 2 provides space for the movement of the connecting seat 16 and the electric cylinder 17, ensuring that they are not obstructed by the square box 2 during operation, and ensuring the normal coordinated operation of the various components of the stacking mechanism.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] When using this stacking mechanism, the electric cylinder 17 can be started to push the U-shaped slide 12 to slide left and right in the sliding cylinder 11 according to the size of the material box to be stacked. When the U-shaped slide 12 slides, it can push the auxiliary bracket 15 to slide in the guide groove 14. The auxiliary bracket 15 is adjusted to a position that matches the size of the material box. Then the material box is placed on the main bracket 13 and the auxiliary bracket 15. Then the two electric push rods 501 can be started to push the clamping plate 502 to move. When the two clamping plates 502 move, they can clamp the side of the material box to prevent the material box from shaking. Then the servo motor 6 can be started to drive the lead screw 7 to rotate. Under the action of the screw, the lead screw assembly 8 and the transmission rod 9 can move up and down. The movement of the transmission rod 9 can push the main bracket 13, the auxiliary bracket 15 and the material box to move up and down when the sliding cylinder 11 slides along the square slide frame 10. The material box can be transported to the designated stacking position, which greatly improves the stacking efficiency.
