Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic stacking and dismantling of materials, and in particular to a device for automatically stacking and dismantling materials and the transmission system thereof. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing and warehousing, pallet stacking, unstacking, and handling are critical tasks. Traditional pallet handling equipment requires the combined operation of forklifts and conveyors. Specifically, forklifts need to transfer pallets onto the conveyor belt or remove pallets from the conveyor belt. While the combination of forklifts and conveyors can achieve basic pallet handling, there are still limitations in terms of automation and efficiency when pallets need to be stacked or when stacked pallets need to be unstacked.

[0003] In existing technologies, pallet stacking and unstacking require the use of external lifting machines outside the conveyor line. Furthermore, these lifting machines can only lift one pallet at a time, meaning that manual intervention is required for each pallet movement during stacking and unstacking. Specifically, during stacking, a forklift is used to place the pallet in a designated position for the lifting machine to lift it onto the stacking platform; each pallet stacking requires manual forklift movement. Similarly, during unstacking, since the lifting machine can only move one pallet from the stack at a time, a forklift is used to move each pallet individually. However, the lack of precise positioning and adjustment mechanisms for manual pallet stacking and unstacking with forklifts makes it prone to shifting or tilting, affecting overall stability. This stacking and unstacking process is not only inefficient but also increases the labor intensity of workers and is susceptible to human error during handling, impacting production efficiency and safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a device for automatically stacking and splitting materials. This device can be used in conjunction with existing conveyor lines to automatically stack or split materials during material transport. It features a simple and compact structure, convenient operation, and improves the automation level and efficiency of material stacking and splitting.

[0005] An apparatus for automatically stacking and splitting materials includes a conveyor line for transporting materials;

[0006] A blocking assembly located in a transmission line, the blocking assembly including a blocking drive and a blocking part; the blocking drive is capable of driving the blocking part to move up and down relative to the transmission line.

[0007] A clamping assembly located on the side of a transmission line, the clamping assembly including a clamping drive and a clamping part, the clamping drive being able to drive the clamping part to move toward or away from the transmission line;

[0008] A lifting assembly located below the clamping assembly, the lifting assembly including a lifting drive, the output end of the lifting drive being connected to the clamping assembly.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the blocking part is located directly above the blocking drive member, the blocking drive member is fixed in the support plate, and at least two parallel guide rods are provided between the support plate and the blocking part.

[0010] The blocking drive component can specifically be a blocking cylinder. The extension and retraction of the blocking cylinder drives the blocking part to rise and fall, thereby intercepting and releasing materials in the conveyor line. The blocking drive component is fixed in a support plate, which is located below the conveyor line. The blocking part can specifically be an L-plate structure with a width slightly smaller than the width of the conveyor line. One end of the blocking part is parallel to the support plate and is used for sliding connection with a guide rod; the other end is perpendicular to the support plate and also perpendicular to the conveyor plane of the conveyor line, used for intercepting and raising / lowering materials on the conveyor line. To ensure the stability of the blocking part's raising and lowering, this application provides a guide rod between the support plate and the blocking part, allowing the blocking part to rise and fall along the guide rod, preventing displacement deviation after long-term use.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, there are two clamping drive members and two clamping parts. The two clamping drive members are located on both sides of the transmission line, and the clamping drive members are correspondingly connected to the clamping parts.

[0012] This application simultaneously provides clamping drive components and clamping parts on both sides of the conveyor line to ensure that when materials on the conveyor line are clamped, both ends of the material are subjected to uniform force. Under the drive of the lifting drive component, the two clamping components and the materials they clamp are lifted and lowered synchronously. The symmetrical clamping drive components and clamping parts can improve the stability of material clamping, thereby improving the accuracy of material stacking and splitting.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the clamping assembly further includes a fixed plate, a guide plate, and a guide shaft. The fixed plate and the guide plate are arranged in parallel. The clamping drive is fixed in the fixed plate. Both ends of the guide shaft are respectively fixed in the fixed plate and the guide plate. The clamping part is slidably connected to the guide shaft.

[0014] The clamping drive component can specifically be a clamping cylinder. The extension and retraction of the clamping cylinder drives the clamping part to rise and fall, thereby clamping and releasing materials in the conveyor line. The clamping drive component is fixed in a fixed plate, which is located on the side of the conveyor line. The clamping part can specifically be a plate-shaped or strip-shaped structure capable of abutting against the side of the material. To ensure the stability of the clamping part's movement, a guide shaft is provided between the fixed plate and the guide plate, allowing the clamping part to move along the guide shaft and preventing displacement deviation after long-term use. The guide plate is located on the side of the fixed plate closest to the conveyor line, and the guide plate and the fixed plate are arranged parallel to each other.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the material is a pallet, and the side of the pallet is provided with an insertion notch; the clamping part includes an insert plate and a clamping plate, and the clamping plate is vertically disposed on the side of the insert plate away from the transmission line; the insert plate is adapted to the insertion notch.

[0016] When the device of this application is used to stack and unstack pallets, the pallet has an insertion notch on its side for a forklift to insert into. To better clamp the pallet, this application simultaneously provides an insertion plate and a clamping plate. The insertion plate is used to position the pallet by inserting into the insertion notch, and the clamping plate abuts against the side of the pallet to achieve pallet clamping. This application, by simultaneously providing a clamping plate and an insertion plate for pallets with a specific structure, can improve the stability of pallet clamping, thereby improving the accuracy of pallet stacking and unstacking.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the lifting drive component is fixedly connected to the fixed plate.

[0018] The lifting drive component of this application can specifically be a lifting cylinder. The extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder drives the clamping assembly and the material it clamps to move up and down, thereby lifting the clamped material in the conveyor line so that unclamped material remaining in the conveyor line can be output. In this application, the clamping drive component is fixed in a fixed plate. The fixed connection between the lifting drive component and the fixed plate ensures that the lifting drive component drives the fixed plate and the entire clamping drive component to move up and down, improving the smoothness and stability of the lifting of the clamping assembly.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the device for automatically stacking and splitting materials further includes a frame, in which the clamping assembly and the lifting assembly are both located; the frame is provided with a slide rail perpendicular to the plane of the transmission line, and the clamping assembly and the slide rail are slidably connected.

[0020] This application integrates the clamping component and the lifting component into the frame. When material stacking and splitting are required, the frame is moved to the side of the conveyor line. When material stacking and splitting are not required, the frame is removed, and the conveyor line can operate normally. When the conveyor line is horizontal, a vertical slide rail is installed in the frame, allowing the clamping component to move the material up and down along the slide rail under the action of the lifting drive, preventing positional deviation of the clamping component and improving the accuracy of material stacking and splitting.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a protective net is provided on the outer side of the frame.

[0022] Setting up a protective net outside the frame can protect the areas where materials are stacked and split in the conveyor line. This not only protects the area from external interference with its normal operation, but also prevents operators from entering the work area while materials are stacked or split, thus ensuring their personal safety.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the frame includes a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other. The first side and the second side are connected by two parallel horizontal bars, which are perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission line. The two horizontal bars are connected by two parallel vertical bars, which are perpendicular to the horizontal bars. The lifting drive is fixed in the vertical bars.

[0024] In this application, the clamping component and the driving component are two symmetrical components, located on opposite sides of the transmission line. Therefore, the frame also needs to be provided with symmetrical first and second sides. The two ends of the first and second sides are connected by two horizontal bars, and the two ends of the two horizontal bars are connected by vertical bars. The horizontal bars and vertical bars form a connecting frame that fixes the first and second sides, and the horizontal bars and vertical bars are located below the transmission line. In this application, the connecting frame formed by the horizontal bars and vertical bars is detachably connected to the first and second sides. When the height of the transmission line is different, the height of the connecting frame can be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the frame of this application can adapt to transmission lines of different heights, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0025] The second objective of this application is to provide a transmission system, including the device described above for automatically stacking and splitting materials. This system enables automatic stacking or splitting of materials during the material transmission process, featuring a simple and compact structure, convenient operation, and improved automation level and efficiency in material stacking and splitting.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] This utility model provides a device for automatically stacking and splitting materials, including a conveyor line for transporting materials; a blocking assembly located in the conveyor line, the blocking assembly including a blocking drive and a blocking part; the blocking drive can drive the blocking part to move up and down relative to the conveyor line; a clamping assembly located on the side of the conveyor line, the clamping assembly including a clamping drive and a clamping part, the clamping drive can drive the clamping part to move towards or away from the conveyor line; and a lifting assembly located below the clamping assembly, the lifting assembly including a lifting drive, the output end of the lifting drive being connected to the clamping assembly. When materials in the conveyor line need to be stacked, the materials are conveyed to the blocking component. The blocking drive unit raises the blocking part to intercept the material, and the clamping drive unit moves the clamping part closer to the conveyor line to clamp the material. The lifting drive unit raises the clamping component and the clamped material. The blocking drive unit lowers the blocking part, and the conveyor line conveys the next material to the blocking component. The blocking part rises to block the next material. The lifting drive unit lowers the clamping component until the previous material and the current material are stacked together. Repeating this operation allows for the stacking of multiple materials. When stacked materials need to be separated, the stacked materials are conveyed to the blocking component. The blocking drive causes the blocking part to rise, intercepting the stacked materials. The lifting drive causes the clamping component to rise to a position flush with the second layer of materials. The clamping drive causes the clamping part to move towards the conveyor line, clamping the second and subsequent layers of materials. The lifting drive causes the clamping component and the clamped materials to rise. The blocking drive causes the blocking part to fall, and the conveyor line conveys the first layer of materials out. The lifting drive causes the clamping component to fall until the stacked materials are placed in the conveyor line. Repeating this operation achieves the separation of stacked materials. The device for automatic stacking and splitting of materials in this application can be used with existing conveyor lines to achieve automatic stacking or splitting of materials during material transport. It has a simple and compact structure, is easy to operate, and improves the automation level and efficiency of material stacking and splitting.

[0028] This application also provides a transmission system, including the device described above for automatically stacking and splitting materials. It realizes automatic stacking or automatic splitting of materials during the material transmission process. The system has a simple and compact structure, is easy to operate, and improves the automation level and stacking and splitting efficiency of material stacking and splitting.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a device for automatically stacking and splitting materials, including a conveyor line 51 for conveying materials;

[0043] A blocking assembly located in the transmission line 51 includes a blocking drive 11 and a blocking part 13; the blocking drive 11 can drive the blocking part 13 to move up and down relative to the transmission line 51.

[0044] A clamping assembly located on the side of the transmission line 51, the clamping assembly including a clamping drive 26 and a clamping part, the clamping drive 26 being able to drive the clamping part to move toward or away from the transmission line 51;

[0045] A lifting assembly located below the clamping assembly, the lifting assembly including a lifting drive 31, the output end of the lifting drive 31 being connected to the clamping assembly.

[0046] In this application, the materials can specifically be pallets 52 or other regularly shaped materials that can be stacked. During storage or handling, materials need to be stacked to save space and facilitate material transfer. When loading materials, the stacked state needs to be broken down into individual units for easier loading. In this application, the material stacking process involves placing multiple materials together, while the material splitting process involves breaking down the stacked materials into individual units.

[0047] In this application, the blocking component is located within the conveyor line 51, while the clamping component and lifting component are located on the side of the conveyor line 51. By adding the blocking component, clamping component, and lifting component, in conjunction with the conveyor line 51, automatic stacking and automatic splitting of materials are achieved. When material stacking is required, individual materials are placed one by one on the conveyor line 51 for transport, with the stacking occurring at the location of the blocking component. When material splitting is required, the stacked materials are placed as a whole on the conveyor line 51 for transport, with the stacked materials being split and output one by one at the location of the blocking component.

[0048] In this application, the blocking component can be integrated into the transmission line 51, or it can be integrated together with the clamping component and the lifting component into the frame 41 outside the transmission line 51.

[0049] When materials in conveyor line 51 need to be stacked, the materials are conveyed to the blocking component position. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to rise and intercept the materials. The clamping drive 26 drives the clamping part to move towards the conveyor line 51 to clamp the materials. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component and the clamped materials to rise. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to fall. The conveyor line 51 conveys the next material to the blocking component position. The blocking part 13 rises to block the next material. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component to fall until the previous material and the current material are stacked together. By repeating the operation, multiple materials can be stacked.

[0050] When the stacked materials in the conveyor line 51 need to be depaneled, the stacked materials are conveyed to the position of the blocking component. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to rise and intercept the stacked materials. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component to rise to the same position as the second layer of materials. The clamping drive 26 drives the clamping part to move towards the conveyor line 51 to clamp the second layer and above of materials. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component and the clamped materials to rise. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to fall, and the conveyor line 51 conveys the first layer of materials out. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component to fall until the stacked materials are placed in the conveyor line 51. Repeating the operation can achieve the depaneling of the stacked materials.

[0051] The device for automatic stacking and splitting of materials in this application can be used with the existing transmission line 51 to achieve automatic stacking or splitting of materials during material transmission. It has a simple and compact structure, is easy to operate, and improves the automation level and stacking and splitting efficiency of material stacking and splitting.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention provides a device for automatically stacking and splitting materials, including a conveyor line 51 for conveying materials;

[0054] A blocking assembly located in the transmission line 51 includes a blocking drive 11 and a blocking part 13; the blocking drive 11 can drive the blocking part 13 to move up and down relative to the transmission line 51.

[0055] A clamping assembly located on the side of the transmission line 51, the clamping assembly including a clamping drive 26 and a clamping part, the clamping drive 26 being able to drive the clamping part to move toward or away from the transmission line 51;

[0056] A lifting assembly located below the clamping assembly, the lifting assembly including a lifting drive 31, the output end of the lifting drive 31 being connected to the clamping assembly.

[0057] Furthermore, the blocking part 13 is located directly above the blocking drive member 11, the blocking drive member 11 is fixed in the support plate 12, and at least two guide rods 14 are arranged side by side between the support plate 12 and the blocking part 13.

[0058] The blocking drive component 11 can specifically be a blocking cylinder. The extension and retraction of the blocking cylinder drives the blocking part 13 to rise and fall, thereby intercepting and releasing materials in the conveyor line 51. The blocking drive component 11 is fixed in the support plate 12, which is located below the conveyor line 51. The blocking part 13 can specifically be an L-plate structure with a width slightly smaller than the width of the conveyor line 51. One end of the blocking part 13 is parallel to the support plate 12 and is used for sliding connection with the guide rod 14; the other end is perpendicular to the support plate 12 and also perpendicular to the conveying plane of the conveyor line 51, used for intercepting and raising / lowering materials on the conveyor line 51. To ensure the stability of the raising and lowering of the blocking part 13, this application provides a guide rod 14 between the support plate 12 and the blocking part 13, allowing the blocking part 13 to rise and fall along the guide rod 14, preventing displacement deviation of the blocking part 13 after long-term use.

[0059] Furthermore, there are two clamping drive members 26 and two clamping parts. The two clamping drive members 26 are respectively located on both sides of the transmission line 51, and the clamping drive members 26 are correspondingly connected to the clamping parts.

[0060] This application provides clamping drive components 26 and clamping parts on both sides of the transmission line 51 to ensure that when materials on the transmission line 51 are clamped, both ends of the materials are subjected to uniform force, and under the drive of the lifting drive component 31, the two clamping components and the materials they clamp are lifted and lowered synchronously. The symmetrical clamping drive components 26 and clamping parts can improve the stability of material clamping, thereby improving the accuracy of material stacking and splitting.

[0061] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a fixing plate 21, a guide plate 22, and a guide shaft 23. The fixing plate 21 and the guide plate 22 are arranged in parallel. The clamping drive 26 is fixed in the fixing plate 21. The two ends of the guide shaft 23 are respectively fixed in the fixing plate 21 and the guide plate 22. The clamping part is slidably connected to the guide shaft 23.

[0062] The clamping drive component 26 can specifically be a clamping cylinder. The extension and retraction of the clamping cylinder drives the clamping part to rise and fall, thereby clamping and releasing the material in the conveyor line 51. The clamping drive component 26 is fixed in the fixed plate 21, which is located on the side of the conveyor line 51. The clamping part can specifically be a plate-shaped or strip-shaped structure capable of abutting against the side of the material. To ensure the stability of the clamping part's movement, a guide shaft 23 is provided between the fixed plate 21 and the guide plate 22, allowing the clamping part to move along the guide shaft 23 and preventing displacement deviation after long-term use. The guide plate 22 is located on the side of the fixed plate 21 closest to the conveyor line 51, and the guide plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0063] Furthermore, the material is a tray 52, and the side of the tray 52 is provided with an insertion notch; the clamping part includes an insertion plate 24 and a clamping plate 25, and the clamping plate 25 is vertically arranged on the side of the insertion plate 24 away from the transmission line 51; the insertion plate 24 is adapted to the insertion notch.

[0064] When the device of this application is used to stack and unstack pallets 52, the side of pallet 52 is provided with an insertion notch for a forklift to insert into. To better clamp the pallet 52, this application simultaneously provides an insertion plate 24 and a clamping plate 25. The insertion plate 24 is used to insert into the insertion notch to position the pallet 52, and the clamping plate 25 is used to abut against the side of the pallet 52 to achieve clamping. This application, by simultaneously providing the clamping plate 25 and the insertion plate 24 for a pallet 52 with a specific structure, can improve the stability of clamping the pallet 52, thereby improving the accuracy of stacking and unstacking the pallet 52.

[0065] Furthermore, the lifting drive component 31 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 21.

[0066] The lifting drive component 31 in this application can specifically be a lifting cylinder. The extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder drives the clamping assembly and the material it clamps to move up and down, thereby lifting the material clamped in the conveyor line 51, so that unclamped material remaining in the conveyor line 51 can be output through the conveyor line 51. In this application, the clamping drive component 26 is fixed in the fixed plate 21. The fixed connection between the lifting drive component 31 and the fixed plate 21 ensures that the lifting drive component 31 drives the fixed plate 21 and the entire clamping drive component 26 to move up and down, improving the smoothness and stability of the lifting of the clamping assembly.

[0067] Furthermore, the device for automatically stacking and splitting materials also includes a frame 41, in which the clamping assembly and the lifting assembly are both located; the frame 41 is provided with a slide rail 43 perpendicular to the plane of the transmission line 51, and the clamping assembly and the slide rail 43 are slidably connected.

[0068] This application integrates the clamping component and the lifting component into the frame 41. When material stacking and splitting are required, the frame 41 is moved to the side of the conveyor line 51. When material stacking and splitting are not required, the frame 41 is removed, and the conveyor line 51 can operate normally. When the conveyor line 51 is a horizontal conveyor line, a vertical slide rail 43 is provided in the frame 41, allowing the clamping component to move the material up and down along the slide rail 43 under the action of the lifting drive 31. This prevents positional deviation of the clamping component during lifting and improves the accuracy of material stacking and splitting.

[0069] Furthermore, a protective net 42 is provided on the outer side of the frame 41.

[0070] The protective net 42 located outside the frame 41 can protect the material stacking and splitting area in the transmission line 51. It can protect the area and prevent external interference with the normal operation of the area, and also prevent operators from entering the work area in the stacking and splitting state, thus affecting the personal safety of the operators.

[0071] Furthermore, the frame 41 includes a first side 413 and a second side 414 arranged opposite to each other. The first side 413 and the second side 414 are connected by two parallel crossbars 412, which are perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission line 51. The two crossbars 412 are connected by two parallel vertical bars 411, which are perpendicular to the crossbars 412. The lifting drive 31 is fixed in the vertical bar 411.

[0072] In this application, the clamping component and the driving component are two symmetrical components, located on both sides of the transmission line 51, respectively. Therefore, the frame 41 also needs to be provided with symmetrical first side 413 and second side 414. The two ends of the first side 413 and the second side 414 are connected by two crossbars 412, and the two ends of the two crossbars 412 are connected by vertical bars 411. The crossbars 412 and the vertical bars 411 form a connecting frame that fixes the first side 413 and the second side 414, and the crossbars 412 and the vertical bars 411 are located below the transmission line 51. In this application, the connecting frame formed by the crossbars 412 and the vertical bars 411 is detachably connected to the first side 413 and the second side 414. When the height of the transmission line 51 is different, the height of the connecting frame can be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the frame 41 of this application can adapt to transmission lines 51 of different heights, thereby improving the applicability of the device of this application.

[0073] Example 3

[0074] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a device for automatically stacking and splitting materials, including a conveyor line 51 for conveying materials; a blocking component located in the conveyor line 51; a clamping component located on the side of the conveyor line 51; and a lifting component located below the clamping component.

[0075] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in this application, the blocking assembly, clamping assembly, and lifting assembly are integrated in a frame 41. The frame 41 includes a first side 413, a second side 414, a crossbar 412, and a vertical bar 411. The first side 413 and the second side 414 are connected by two parallel crossbars 412, which are perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission line 51. The two crossbars 412 are connected by two parallel vertical bars 411, which are perpendicular to the crossbars 412. The first side 413 and the second side 414 are symmetrically located on both sides of the transmission line 51, that is, the line connecting the first side 413 and the second side 414 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission line 51.

[0076] The horizontal bar 412 and the vertical bar 411 form a connecting frame that fixes the first side 413 and the second side 414, and the horizontal bar 412 and the vertical bar 411 are located below the transmission line 51. In this application, the connecting frame formed by the horizontal bar 412 and the vertical bar 411 is detachably connected to the first side 413 and the second side 414. When the height of the transmission line 51 is different, the height of the connecting frame can be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the rack 41 of this application can adapt to transmission lines 51 of different heights.

[0077] A protective net 42 is provided on the outside of the frame 41, which can protect the material stacking and splitting areas in the transmission line 51.

[0078] like Figure 5As shown, the blocking assembly includes a blocking drive 11 and a blocking part 13. The blocking drive 11 can drive the blocking part 13 to move up and down relative to the transmission line 51. The blocking part 13 is located directly above the blocking drive 11. The blocking drive 11 is fixed in a support plate 12. At least two parallel guide rods 14 are arranged between the support plate 12 and the blocking part 13. Specifically, the blocking drive 11 can be a blocking cylinder. By extending and retracting the blocking cylinder, the blocking part 13 is driven to move up and down, thereby intercepting and releasing the material in the transmission line 51. The output end of the blocking cylinder is connected to the middle position of the blocking part 13 through a first floating joint 15. The blocking drive 11 is fixed in the support plate 12, which is located below the transmission line 51 and above or below the vertical rod 411. In actual operation, the support plate 12 can also be combined with the vertical rod 411. Specifically, the blocking part 13 can be an L-plate structure with a width slightly smaller than the width of the transmission line 51. One end of the blocking part 13 is parallel to the support plate 12 and is slidably connected to the guide rod 14; the other end is perpendicular to the support plate 12 and also perpendicular to the transmission plane of the transmission line 51, used to intercept and lift the material on the transmission line 51. To ensure the stability of the lifting of the blocking part 13, this application provides a guide rod 14 between the support plate 12 and the blocking part 13, and the guide rod 14 and the support plate 12 are connected by a first linear bearing 16; so that the blocking part 13 can lift along the guide rod 14.

[0079] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the clamping assembly includes clamping drive members 26 and clamping parts. The clamping drive members 26 can drive the clamping parts to move towards or away from the transmission line 51. There are two clamping drive members 26 and two clamping parts. The two clamping drive members 26 are respectively located on both sides of the transmission line 51, and the clamping drive members 26 are correspondingly connected to the clamping parts. In this application, clamping drive members 26 and clamping parts are simultaneously provided on the first side 413 and the second side 414 on both sides of the transmission line 51 to ensure that when the material on the transmission line 51 is clamped, both ends of the material are evenly stressed, and under the drive of the lifting drive member 31, the two clamping assemblies and the material they clamp are lifted and lowered synchronously.

[0080] The clamping assembly also includes a fixed plate 21, a guide plate 22, and a guide shaft 23. The fixed plate 21 and the guide plate 22 are arranged in parallel, with the guide plate 22 located on the side of the fixed plate 21 closer to the transmission line 51. The clamping drive 26 is fixed in the fixed plate 21, and both ends of the guide shaft 23 are respectively fixed in the fixed plate 21 and the guide plate 22. The clamping part is slidably connected to the guide shaft 23. The fixed plate 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting drive 31. In this embodiment, the material is a tray 52, and the side of the tray 52 is provided with an insertion notch. The clamping part includes an insertion plate 24 and a clamping plate 25, with the clamping plate 25 vertically arranged on the side of the insertion plate 24 away from the transmission line 51. The insertion plate 24 is adapted to the insertion notch. The guide shaft 23 is connected to the insertion plate 24 through a second linear bearing 27, and both ends of the guide shaft 23 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 21 and the guide plate 22.

[0081] The first side 413 and the second side 414 are respectively provided with slide rails 43 perpendicular to the plane where the transmission line 51 is located, and the clamping assembly and the slide rails 43 are slidably connected. A limit safety block 44 is provided at the top of the slide rail 43, and the limit safety block 44 is located opposite the position of the fixing plate 21 in the clamping assembly, and is used to limit the rising height of the clamping assembly.

[0082] like Figure 6 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a lifting drive component 31, the output end of which is connected to a fixed plate 21. Specifically, the lifting drive component 31 can be a lifting cylinder. The extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder drives the clamping assembly and the material it clamps to move up and down, thereby lifting the material clamped in the transmission line 51, so that any unclamped material remaining in the transmission line 51 can be output through the transmission line 51. The output end of the lifting drive component 31 is connected to the fixed plate 21 via a second floating joint 32. The lifting drive component 31 is fixed in the vertical rod 411. When the vertical rod 411 is adjusted in position along the frame 41, the lifting drive component 31 and the entire clamping assembly it drives are simultaneously adjusted in height.

[0083] By analyzing the stacking action of trays 52, it can be simplified to placing the previous tray 52 on top of the next tray 52, and repeating this process to achieve stacking. This process can be broken down into three main actions: blocking trays 52, clamping trays 52, and lifting trays 52. Therefore, when trays 52 in the transmission line 51 need to be stacked, trays 52 are transported to the blocking component position. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to rise, intercepting the tray 52. ​​The clamping drive 26 drives the clamping part to move towards the tray 52, clamping the tray 52. ​​The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component and the clamped tray 52 to rise. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to fall. The transmission line 51 transports the next blocking plate to the blocking component position. The blocking part 13 rises to block the next blocking plate. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component to fall until the previous blocking plate and the current blocking plate are stacked together. After the stacking operation is completed, the clamping drive resets, and then the lifting drive 31 resets. By repeating the operation, multiple trays 52 can be stacked.

[0084] Similarly, the dismantling action of pallet 52 can also be broken down into blocking more than two stacked pallets 52, clamping the second pallet 52 below and lifting it, and then allowing the bottom pallet 52 to move forward after the obstruction is removed. The main actions in this process are also blocking pallets 52, clamping pallets 52, and lifting pallets 52. Therefore, when the stacked pallet 52 in the transmission line 51 needs to be removed, the stacked pallet 52 is transmitted to the position of the blocking component. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to rise and intercept the stacked pallet 52. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component to rise to the same position as the second layer pallet 52. The clamping drive 26 drives the clamping part to move towards the transmission line 51 to clamp the second layer and above pallets 52. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component and the clamped pallets 52 to rise. The blocking drive 11 drives the blocking part 13 to fall, and the transmission line 51 transmits the first layer pallet 52 out. The lifting drive 31 drives the clamping component to fall until the stacked pallet 52 is placed in the transmission line 51. The lifting drive 31 resets, and the clamping drive resets. Repeating the operation can remove the stacked pallet 52.

[0087] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this application. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0088] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0089] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0090] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
