Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pallet technology, specifically to a thermally broken aluminum profile pallet for intelligent automated warehouses. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and warehousing logistics of thermally broken aluminum profiles, automated warehouses and pallets are commonly used for storage. Traditional aluminum profile pallets are mostly fixed structures with non-adjustable vertical spacing, making them unsuitable for storing mixed sizes and quantities of aluminum profiles, resulting in low space utilization and poor versatility.

[0003] In existing technologies, some pallets with adjustable upright spacing have emerged, accommodating profiles of different sizes by sliding the uprights. However, such pallets still have the following shortcomings: because their interior is a uniform, spacious storage space, after the robotic arm gripper has grasped some profiles, the remaining profiles are prone to tipping over, scattering, or shifting due to the loss of support and constraint from adjacent materials. This disordered state not only affects the aesthetics of the storage area but also severely interferes with the positioning accuracy of subsequent grasping operations, causing the robot to frequently adjust its posture or even fail to grasp, thus reducing outbound efficiency and the reliability of automated processes.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pallet device that can adapt to different specifications of profiles and assist robots in convenient and safe grasping, especially of bottom profiles. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a thermally broken aluminum profile pallet for intelligent automated warehouses.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A thermally broken aluminum profile pallet for intelligent automated warehouses includes a pallet body with at least two inserts extending along the width of the pallet body at its bottom, and each insert has a guide rod fixed inside it.

[0008] Several convergence components, including:

[0009] A pair of upright plates are slidably fitted onto corresponding guide rods. The top of the upright plates slides into the tray body, forming a profile placement area between them. Inclined grooves are provided on the upright plates.

[0010] A lifting plate is located between two upright plates. Its cross-section is "H". A pair of sliding rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting plate. The sliding rods slide through the corresponding sliding grooves so that the height of the lifting plate is inversely proportional to the distance between the two upright plates.

[0011] A pair of flaps are hinged to the top of the lifting plate. The free end of each flap is provided with a rolling element. The rolling element abuts against the inner surface of the corresponding upright plate so that the included angle between the two flaps is proportional to the distance between the two upright plates.

[0012] A pair of drive components are mounted on the disc, and their output shafts are connected to the corresponding vertical plates;

[0013] When the two uprights are driven to approach each other by the driving component, the lifting plate is controlled to rise by the cooperation of the sliding groove and the sliding rod, forming a lifting action of the relative profiles. The two flip plates are squeezed by the uprights and deflected towards each other, forming a closing action of the profiles on both sides of the placement area.

[0014] Preferably, when the two uprights are at their maximum spacing, there is a gripping gap between the inner wall of the tray body and the inner side of the corresponding upright.

[0015] Preferably, when the two uprights are at their maximum spacing, the lifting plate is at its lowest position and located within the tray, and the included angle between the two flip plates is 160° to 170°.

[0016] Preferably, when the two uprights are at their minimum spacing position, the included angle between the two flaps is 60° to 90°.

[0017] Preferably, the rolling element is a roller, and the outer side of the roller is made of rubber.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom of the lifting plate is provided with at least two vertically sliding limiting rods that slide through the embedded plate, and when the lifting plate rises to the highest position, the limiting rods remain in sliding connection with the embedded plate.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting two adjustable-spacing uprights, the space inside the pallet body can be adjusted, leaving an entry channel for the robotic arm gripper, which facilitates subsequent gripping of profiles; by using the lifting plate and flip plate in combination, the profiles located at the bottom area of ​​the pallet body can be lifted and centrally gathered, which facilitates subsequent gripping and improves gripping efficiency.

[0026] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a smart automated warehouse aluminum profile pallet includes a pallet body 1, which serves as the direct load-bearing base for the aluminum profile, providing a stable placement platform for the profile and ensuring that the profile maintains its stable posture during storage and transportation.

[0029] The bottom of the pallet body 1 is connected to at least two inserts 10 extending along the width direction of the pallet body 1, which provide a preset space for the installation of the folding component 2 and avoids occupying additional space for the profiles above the pallet body 1; each insert 10 is fixed with a guide rod 11, which provides sliding guidance for the upright plate 20, ensuring that the upright plate 20 moves smoothly along the width direction of the pallet body 1 under the action of the drive component 23, and ensuring the accuracy of the spacing adjustment.

[0030] Several gathering components 2, which include:

[0031] A pair of upright plates 20 are slidably fitted onto corresponding guide rods 11. The top of the upright plates 20 slides into the pallet body 1. When the profile is placed, the inner surface of the upright plates 20 serves as the initial limiting surface on both sides of the profile, and cooperates with the inner wall of the pallet body 1 to form a preliminary profile placement space. An inclined groove 201 is provided on the upright plates 20. The inclined direction of the groove 201 is as follows: it gradually extends towards the inner wall of the pallet body 1 from low to high. Through the cooperation of the groove 201 and the slide rod 210, the lateral movement (along the width direction) of the upright plates 20 is converted into the vertical movement (lifting and lowering) of the lifting plate 21, realizing the motion conversion of "lateral drive - vertical lifting".

[0032] The lifting plate 21 is located between two upright plates 20. Its cross-section is "H" shaped. A pair of sliding rods 210 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting plate 21. The sliding rods 210 slide through the corresponding sliding grooves 201 so that the height of the lifting plate 21 is inversely proportional to the distance between the two upright plates 20. The lifting plate 21 is lifted by the upward pushing force of the inclined surface of the sliding groove 201, directly supporting the thermally broken aluminum profile placed in the profile placement area, so that the profile and the surface of the pallet body 1 form a certain height difference, which is convenient for the subsequent robotic arm of the intelligent warehouse to grasp.

[0033] The bottom of the lifting plate 21 is provided with at least two vertically sliding limit rods 211 that slide through the insert plate 10. When the lifting plate 21 rises to the highest position, the limit rods 211 and the insert plate 10 remain in a sliding connection, which guides and limits the lifting movement of the lifting plate 21, ensuring that the lifting plate 21 always remains in a horizontal state.

[0034] A pair of flaps 22 are hinged to the top of the lifting plate 21. The free end of the flap 22 is provided with a rolling element 220. The rolling element 220 abuts against the inner surface of the corresponding upright plate 20 so that the included angle between the two flaps 22 is proportional to the distance between the two upright plates 20. When the upright plates 20 approach each other, the inner surface of the upright plate 20 squeezes the roller, pushing the flaps 22 to deflect towards each other around the hinge point. The included angle between the two flaps 22 is reduced, thereby applying an inward pulling force to both sides of the profile in the placement area, adjusting the profile to the center position of the pallet body 1 for easy subsequent gripping.

[0035] The rolling element 220 is a roller, and the outer side of the roller is made of rubber. The inner surface of the upright plate 20 and the rolling element 220 are in contact with each other in a "surface-to-point" contact manner. This provides the power for the deflection of the flip plate 22 through surface compression, and uses rolling friction to replace sliding friction, thereby reducing the deflection resistance of the flip plate 22 and avoiding the decrease in adjustment accuracy caused by surface wear of the upright plate 20.

[0036] A pair of drive components 23 are mounted on the insert plate 10, and their output shafts are connected to the corresponding upright plates 20. Their core function is to provide stable power for the reciprocating motion of the upright plates 20. As the power source for the entire retracting assembly 2, the drive components 23 need to have the characteristics of strong controllability and high motion precision (preferably electric cylinders, but hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic cylinders can also be used). By precisely controlling the extension and retraction of the output shaft, the spacing between the upright plates 20 can be precisely adjusted, thereby indirectly controlling the lifting height of the lifting plate 21 and the deflection angle of the flip plate 22, so as to meet the lifting and retracting requirements of different specifications of profiles.

[0037] When the two upright plates 20 are at their maximum spacing, the lifting plate 21 is at its lowest position and located within the insert plate 10, and the included angle between the two flip plates 22 is 160° to 170° (and the opening of the included angle always faces upward); when the two upright plates 20 are at their minimum spacing, the included angle between the two flip plates 22 is 60° to 90°, to avoid insufficient closing force due to an excessively large included angle or excessive compression deformation of the profile due to an excessively small included angle.

[0038] In addition, when the two uprights 20 are at their maximum spacing, there is a gripping gap between the inner wall of the pallet body 1 and the inner side of the corresponding upright 20, providing entry space for the robot gripper, solving the problem of traditional pallets having no operating channel, and improving gripping convenience.

[0039] When the two upright plates 20 are driven to approach each other by the driving component 23, the lifting plate 21 is controlled to rise by the sliding groove 201 and the sliding rod 210, forming a lifting action of the relative profiles. The two flip plates 22 are squeezed by the upright plates 20 and deflected towards each other, forming a closing action of the profiles on both sides of the placement area.

[0040] Traditional profile pallets mostly only have a load-bearing function. After the profile is placed, it is easy for it to shift. Moreover, the robotic arm needs to adjust the posture of the profile before grasping it, resulting in low grasping efficiency. In this application, when the drive unit 23 drives the two upright plates 20 to move closer to each other, the lifting plate 21 rises synchronously through the cooperation of the sliding groove 201 and the sliding rod 210 to lift the profile. At the same time, the upright plates 20 squeeze the rolling part 220 of the flip plate 22, causing the flip plate 22 to deflect in opposite directions to close the profile. The two actions are performed simultaneously. On the one hand, the profile is lifted to a height that is easy for the robotic arm to grasp. On the other hand, the profile is adjusted to the center position of the pallet body 1, ensuring that the robotic arm can grasp it accurately every time, which greatly improves the grasping efficiency.

[0041] In summary, by setting two adjustable-spaced uprights 20, the space within the pallet body 1 can be flexibly adjusted, enabling the device to have two typical working modes and thus greater adaptability.

[0042] Mode 1 (Centralized Storage Mode): When the pallet body 1 is used to store the same type of thermally broken aluminum profiles, the two uprights 20 can be adjusted to a suitable spacing according to the profile model to form a unified profile placement area with a suitable width.

[0043] Mode 2 (Divided Storage Mode): The two uprights 20 can also be adjusted to different spacing positions according to actual storage needs, thereby dividing the interior of the pallet body 1 into three storage areas with adjustable widths: left, middle, and right, for storing profiles of different models or batches. Furthermore, the width of the uprights 20 and the gaps reserved between the inner wall of the pallet body 1 and the profiles are used to create an operating clearance that allows the robotic arm gripper to enter, solving the problem that the robotic gripper cannot reach when multiple specifications of profiles are stored together, and improving the versatility and space utilization of the pallet body 1.

[0044] By freely switching between the two working modes, this device can meet both the need for efficient grasping of large quantities of the same type of profiles and the need for flexible storage of mixed profiles of different specifications.

[0045] It should be further explained that, in order to further adapt to the intelligent management and control requirements of the intelligent automated warehouse, for Mode 1, the height of the profiles can be intelligently adjusted through the synergy of sensor detection and automatic control. Specifically, the number of profiles and the stacking height data placed in the pallet body 1 can be accurately obtained in two ways: one is to rely on the infrared sensor (not shown in the text) preset on the pallet body 1 for real-time detection, and the other is to use the vision probe pre-configured on the robotic arm to complete image acquisition and data recognition. After receiving the above sensor or vision data, the back-end controller analyzes and calculates the actual specifications (quantity and height) of the profiles through algorithms, and then outputs precise control commands to the drive component 23. The drive component 23 adjusts the movement stroke of the upright plate 20 according to the commands. Finally, through the linkage mechanism of the upright plate 20, the lifting plate 21, and the flip plate 22, the lifting height of the lifting plate 21 is adaptively adjusted, ensuring that no matter how the number or height of the profiles changes, the appropriate lifting and retraction state can be maintained, fully meeting the automated and refined operation management requirements of the intelligent automated warehouse.

[0046] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
