Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stacking device technology, specifically to a stacking device for foam bricks. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction materials industry, foam bricks, due to their advantages such as lightweight, heat insulation, sound insulation, and environmental friendliness, have been widely used in wall construction for various projects, including civil buildings and industrial plants. With the large-scale development of the construction industry, the demand for foam bricks continues to rise, and the warehousing and stacking after production and the transfer and stacking before construction have become key links affecting project efficiency and building material waste.

[0003] However, the stacking of foam bricks in existing technologies still mainly relies on manual labor, which has significant technical drawbacks: manual stacking is inefficient, with a worker only able to stack about 800-1000 foam bricks per day. When faced with the stacking needs of thousands of bricks per day for large-scale projects, a large amount of manpower is required, which not only increases labor costs but also easily leads to worker fatigue due to high work intensity, further reducing stacking efficiency. In addition, foam brick stacking often requires long-distance transportation in open-air areas or warehouses. During manual transportation, workers need to frequently bend over and turn, which can easily lead to occupational health problems such as lumbar muscle strain and joint damage over a long period of time, failing to meet the safety and humanization requirements of modern engineering construction.

[0004] In summary, the existing manual foam brick stacking method can no longer meet the construction industry's demand for efficient, low-loss, safe, and precise stacking operations.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stacking device for foam bricks that can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted: A stacking device for foam bricks includes: a track assembly, a base moving assembly, and a clamping actuation assembly; The track assembly includes: a mounting rail, a guide rail disposed inside the mounting rail, and a rack disposed opposite to the guide rail; The base moving assembly includes: a base mounted on top of the track assembly for horizontally moving along the guide rail; a motor mounted on top of the base; and a gear connected to the output shaft of the motor, the gear meshing with the rack.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting rail, the guide rail, and the rack are arranged in parallel.

[0009] Furthermore, a column is installed on the top of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping execution component includes: a linear motion module mounted on the top of the column, and a first gripper and a second gripper slidably mounted on the linear motion module.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting plate is slidably installed vertically on the side wall of the column, and the linear motion module is located on the top of the mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the column, and the motor is connected to a cable winding wheel. The cable winding wheel is connected to a transmission wheel via a cable, and the transmission wheel is connected to the top of the mounting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The stacker crane replaces the manual horizontal movement process by using a semi-automatic base moving component.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model relates to a stacking device for foam bricks, comprising: The track assembly, base moving assembly, and clamping execution assembly work together to achieve automated stacking operations of goods.

[0020] The track assembly includes: a mounting rail 1, a guide rail 2 disposed inside the mounting rail 1, and a rack 5 disposed opposite to the guide rail 2. The three are arranged in parallel. The rack 5 is fixed to one side of the mounting rail 1 and extends along its length, providing a mounting foundation and guiding constraint for the horizontal movement of the stacker crane, ensuring that the subsequent base 3 maintains a stable movement trajectory during movement.

[0021] The base moving assembly, used to drive the stacker crane, includes: a base 3 mounted on top of the track assembly and capable of horizontal movement along guide rail 2; a first motor 4 mounted on top of the base 3; and a gear 12 driven by the output shaft of the first motor 4, the gear 12 meshing with a rack 5. When the first motor 4 starts, the gear 12 rotates, and through the meshing transmission of the gear and rack, the rotational motion of the first motor 4 is converted into linear movement of the base 3 along the mounting rail 1 and guide rail 2, thereby realizing the horizontal position adjustment of the stacker crane.

[0022] It also includes: a column 11 vertically fixed to the top of the base 3, which provides a stable support structure for the clamping and execution components at the top, ensuring the rigidity and stability of the clamping and execution components during operation.

[0023] The clamping actuator is used to perform the actions of gripping, handling, and stacking goods. The clamping actuator includes: a linear motion module 10 mounted on the top of the column 11, capable of driving the first gripper 8 and the second gripper 9 to move linearly in the horizontal or vertical direction to precisely adjust the grippers to the target position; the first gripper 8 and the second gripper 9 are mounted on the moving end of the linear motion module 10, and the two work together to clamp and release the goods. In addition, the cable reel 6 is used to reel in and out the cables required for the stacker crane's operation, preventing cables from becoming tangled or pulled due to equipment movement, ensuring the reliability of electrical connections; a drive pulley 7 is fixedly mounted on the top of the column 11, and a mounting plate 14 is also slidably mounted vertically on the side wall of the column 11. The drive pulley 7 works with the second motor 4 to drive the mounting plate 14 to rise and fall, thereby driving the first gripper 8 and the second gripper 9 to rise and fall, thus realizing the vertical position adjustment of the stacker crane.

[0024] The linear motion module 10 is a ball screw type linear module, with the threads at both ends of the screw rotating in opposite directions, causing the first gripper 8 and the second gripper 9 to move relative to each other.

[0025] During the stacking operation, the components work together: First, the base moving component is activated, and the first motor 4 drives the gear 12 to mesh with the rack 5, so that the base 3 carries the column and clamping component to the horizontal area where the target goods are located; then, the second motor 13 drives the transmission wheel 7 to move the first gripper 8 and the second gripper 9 to the vertical or horizontal position corresponding to the goods; then, the linear movement module 10 is activated, and the first gripper 8 and the second gripper 9 are controlled by the transmission component to perform the clamping action to grab the goods; finally, the base moving component and the linear movement module 10 work together again to move the goods to the target stacking position and then control the grippers to release the goods, completing one stacking operation.

[0026] Through the coordinated operation of the above components, this stacker crane can automatically complete the entire process of goods positioning, grabbing, handling and stacking, realizing the automation of warehousing operations and effectively improving operational efficiency.

[0027] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregularly shaped parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods for each part all employ conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are mature technologies in the prior art. The machinery, parts, and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connections also use conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be detailed here.
