[0002] Harmonica tubes are a type of porous, flat aluminum profile widely used in new energy battery heat dissipation, automotive cooling systems, and industrial equipment. After being cut to a fixed length, harmonica tubes need to be stacked and boxed. Traditional stacking methods, such as the aluminum plate stacking machine disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN210480018U, use related transfer equipment to stack the aluminum materials together. However, this method easily leads to friction between the aluminum materials during subsequent transportation, causing surface scratches and affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, a first photoelectric sensor is provided at the feeding area of ​​the first conveyor belt, and the first photoelectric sensor is communicatively connected to the first conveyor belt and the second robotic arm.

[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned harmonica tube palletizing device also includes a linear reciprocator located on the feeding end side of the feeding area, the linear reciprocator having a movable end that moves toward the transmission surface of the first conveyor belt.

[0026] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a harmonica tube palletizing device, including a palletizing platform 1, a paper trough 2, and a first robotic arm 3; the palletizing platform 1 has a palletizing area, the projection of the paper trough 2 on the palletizing platform 1 does not intersect with the palletizing area, and the gripping end of the first robotic arm 3 reciprocates between the palletizing area and the paper trough 2.

[0028] Working principle: By setting up a paper trough 2 next to the palletizing platform 1 and configuring a first robotic arm 3, the padding paper is automatically laid. After each harmonica tube is placed in the palletizing area, the first robotic arm 3 immediately grabs the padding paper from the paper trough 2 and lays it on the surface of the tube, thereby ensuring that the layers of adjacent stacked harmonica tubes are effectively isolated.

[0029] It is worth noting that placing the paper tray 2 above the palletizing platform 1 can minimize the transfer distance of the first robotic arm 3.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the first robotic arm 3 further includes a first translator 31, a first lifter 32, and a first suction cup 33; the body of the first lifter 32 is connected to the movable end of the first translator 31, and the first suction cup 33 is disposed on the movable end of the first lifter 32.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the cooperation of the first translation device 31 and the first lifting device 32 can control the first suction cup 33 to grab the pad paper from the paper tray 2 and lay it on the surface of the harmonica tube.

[0032] It is worth noting that the first translation device 31 and the first lifting device 32 are devices such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and linear slides that realize reciprocating motion.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the harmonica tube palletizing device further includes a first conveyor belt 4 and a second robotic arm 5; the first conveyor belt 4 has a feeding area on its conveying surface, and the gripping end of the second robotic arm 5 reciprocates between the feeding area and the palletizing area.

[0034] As described above, the first conveyor belt 4 can be used to transport the harmonica tubes to the loading area, so that the second robotic arm 5 can transfer the harmonica tubes to the stacking area of ​​the palletizing platform 1 for stacking.

[0035] Furthermore, a first photoelectric sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided at the feeding area of ​​the first conveyor belt 4, and the first photoelectric sensor is communicatively connected to the first conveyor belt 4 and the second robot arm 5.

[0036] As described above, the first photoelectric sensor is used to determine whether the harmonica tube has moved to the loading area. When the first photoelectric sensor detects that the harmonica tube has moved to the loading area, the first conveyor belt 4 stops operating, so that the second robotic arm 5 can grab the harmonica tube in the loading area.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the harmonica tube palletizing device further includes a linear reciprocating device 6, which is located on the feeding end side of the feeding area. The linear reciprocating device 6 has a movable end that moves toward the transmission surface of the first conveyor belt 4.

[0038] As described above, before the harmonica tube enters the feeding area, the movable end of the linear reciprocator 6 extends towards the transmission surface of the first conveyor belt 4 to prevent the harmonica tube from entering the feeding area. During this process, as the transmission surface of the first conveyor belt 4 continuously drives the harmonica tube into the feeding area, the harmonica tube gradually straightens its posture under the obstruction of the movable end of the linear reciprocator 6. After the harmonica tube is straightened, the movable end of the linear reciprocator 6 returns to its original position, and the first conveyor belt 4 drives the harmonica tube into the feeding area.

[0039] It is worth noting that the linear reciprocator 6 is a device with a piston that has reciprocating motion, such as a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder.

[0040] Furthermore, a second photoelectric sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided on one side of the feeding end of the feeding area, and the second photoelectric sensor is communicatively connected to the linear reciprocator 6.

[0041] As described above, the second photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether the harmonica tube is about to enter the feeding area, so as to control the operating timing of the linear reciprocator 6.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, further, positioning plates 7 that move toward the first conveyor belt 4 are provided on both sides of the first conveyor belt 4, and the positioning plates 7 are located on the feeding end side of the feeding area.

[0043] As described above, when the harmonica tube is blocked by the linear reciprocating device 6 at the feed end of the feeding area, the positioning plates 7 located on both sides of the first conveyor belt 4 are driven to move closer to each other so that the positioning plates 7 can abut against both ends of the harmonica tube in the length direction, so that the harmonica tube can be quickly straightened.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5As shown, the second robotic arm 5 further includes a second translator 51, a second lifter 52, and a second suction cup 53; the body of the second lifter 52 is connected to the movable end of the second translator 51, and the second suction cup 53 is disposed on the movable end of the second lifter 52.

[0045] As described above, the second suction cup 53 can be controlled to grab harmonica tubes from the loading area of ​​the first conveyor belt 4 and stack them on the stacking area of ​​the stacking platform 1 through the cooperation of the second translation device 51 and the second lifting device 52.

[0046] It is worth noting that the second translation device 51 and the second lifting device 52 are devices such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and linear slides that realize reciprocating motion.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the palletizing platform 1 is further described as a conveyor belt. After the harmonica tubes are stacked and initially packaged on the palletizing platform 1, they can be transported to a designated location via the palletizing platform 1.

[0048] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
