Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent warehouse attachments technology, specifically a mother carrier removal machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the logistics industry uses pallets to carry products. Products on pallets often need to be removed before the pallets can be replaced. The traditional lifting method is to use forklifts to pick up materials or to manually remove materials. To solve the problem of logistics transfer, it is necessary to change pallets for different types of ton bag-loaded goods.
[0003] In modern production and logistics processes, some goods loaded in ton bags do not need to be stacked when leaving the warehouse, while others do. Manual pallet replacement requires a large number of workers, the actions are cumbersome, and after stacking, the centers of the two layers of goods are often not on the same axis, resulting in a large deviation and a risk of tilting and collapsing during transportation.
[0004] Most solutions on the market rely on manual operation or multi-machine collaboration to solve complex work conditions, but in actual use, they are prone to problems such as low efficiency and errors. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems and improve warehousing efficiency, this invention provides a pallet removal machine that reliably clamps and lifts the child pallet stack, separating the mother and child pallets. Pallets are then added as needed to replace or separate the pallets. This invention overcomes the shortcomings described in the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] A forklift removal machine includes a frame assembly, a forklift assembly, and a conveyor assembly. Two forklift assemblies are synchronously controlled to move towards or away from each other along the frame assembly via corresponding first drive components. Each forklift assembly includes forks, a sliding frame, and a displacement frame. A sliding frame is slidably mounted on the displacement frame in the vertical direction, and at least two forks are mounted on the sliding frame. A second drive component is mounted on the displacement frame, and the displacement of the sliding frame is controlled by the second drive component. The conveyor assembly is installed between the two forklift assemblies. The initial state of the second drive component is such that the lowest point of the forks is at most level with the highest point of the conveyor assembly.
[0008] The direction of displacement of the forklift assembly controlled by the first drive component is designated as direction A. When the mother pallet, the daughter pallet, and the goods on the daughter pallet are placed on the conveyor assembly, the conveying direction is direction B. Directions A and B are perpendicular to each other. Several slots are provided on the sides of the mother pallet and the daughter pallet. The forks on the forklift assembly are inserted into the slots of the daughter pallet, and the sliding frame and the forks on the sliding frame are raised by the second drive component. At this time, the daughter pallet separates from the mother pallet, and the mother pallet is conveyed forward along the conveyor assembly. Then, the daughter pallet is lowered onto the conveyor assembly, thus completing the separation of the daughter pallet from the mother pallet.
[0009] In some embodiments, the sliding frame is provided with a guide groove in the vertical direction, and at least two rollers are installed on either side of the sliding frame, the rollers rolling vertically within the guide groove. This facilitates precise vertical displacement of the sliding frame.
[0010] In some embodiments, the forks are fixedly or movably mounted on a sliding frame. When a fixed mounting is chosen, the forks are welded to the sliding frame; when a movable mounting is chosen, a cylindrical sliding rod can be provided on the sliding frame, and a sleeve can be provided at the top of the forks. The forks slide along the outer wall of the sliding rod via the sleeve, which constitutes a movable mounting. Of course, the forks can also be fixed not by welding, but by screws and nuts, allowing for easy removal and replacement if the forks are damaged.
[0011] In some embodiments, the conveyor assembly includes a conveyor frame and a plurality of rollers, the rollers being rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame, a sprocket being mounted at one end of each roller, adjacent sprockets rotating synchronously via chains, and the sprockets being driven by a motor.
[0012] In some embodiments, the motor is mounted on the bottom of the conveyor frame, and a drive sprocket is installed at the output end of the motor. The drive sprocket is linked to a sprocket on the side of the roller via a chain.
[0013] In some embodiments, the frame assembly is provided with another guide groove in the horizontal direction, and another roller is installed on the side end of the displacement frame, the roller rolling horizontally within the guide groove.
[0014] In some embodiments, the first driving member and the second driving member are hydraulic cylinders.
[0015] In some embodiments, photoelectric sensors and / or laser rangefinders are installed on the forklift assembly. The photoelectric sensors and laser rangefinders acquire real-time position information of the pallets at each workstation, ensuring that the pallet picking device can accurately grasp and place the pallets. Alternatively, existing vision systems can be used to improve the automation level of the pallet removal machine, thereby further reducing manual intervention and the labor intensity of the user.
[0016] In some embodiments, the bottom of the frame assembly is provided with several adjustable feet. The adjustable feet are mainly used to adjust the overall levelness of the motherboard carrier and to compensate for the height difference of the ground at different foot positions.
[0017] In some embodiments, the adjustable feet include a base plate, a pad, screws, and nuts. The base plate is welded to the frame assembly. Screws are vertically installed at the corners of the base plate, and the nuts are threaded into the screws and fitted against the top and bottom surfaces of the base plate. The bottom end of the screw is fixedly connected to the pad. The principle of the adjustable feet is to compensate for height differences by adjusting the upper and lower screws at different height positions.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] The pallet removal machine of this invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate and implement, and is low in cost and highly reliable. It can achieve efficient displacement and pallet insertion of the forklift assembly, efficient lifting and separation of pallets, and efficient pallet conveying, realizing automated operation and reducing manual intervention and labor intensity.
