The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0012] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 This embodiment provides an octagonal tube self-weight automatic loading and unloading rack, including a feeding point A, a transfer point B, a discharging point C, a supporting vertical beam 1, a first reinforcing crossbeam 2, a second reinforcing crossbeam 3, a first discharging crossbeam 4, a second discharging crossbeam 5, a load-bearing crossbeam 6, a first material lifting drive source 7, a second material lifting drive source 8, a first material clamping drive source 9, a second material clamping drive source 10, a material rotation drive source 11, a material limiting drive source 12, a connecting frame 13, an L-shaped bracket 14, a connecting plate 15, a first connecting frame 16, a second connecting frame 17, a third connecting frame 18, a limiting post 19, a limiting bracket 20, a limiting crossbeam 21, material 22, and a fourth connecting frame 23.

[0013] Furthermore, a first reinforcing crossbeam 2 is provided between two adjacent symmetrically distributed supporting vertical beams 1, serving both as a connector and a reinforcement. The two ends of the first reinforcing crossbeam 2 are detachably and fixedly connected to the supporting vertical beams 1.

[0014] Furthermore, the two supporting vertical beams 1 located at the feed point A are higher than the two supporting vertical beams 1 located at the transfer point B. Two relatively parallel first discharge beams 4 are provided at the top of each supporting vertical beam 1. The purpose is to create an angle between the two first discharge beams 4 connected to them and the horizontal plane. When the material 22 is placed above the two first discharge beams 4, due to the inclined arrangement of the two first discharge beams 4, the material 22 can slide from the feed point A to the transfer point B under its own gravity, eliminating the need for a drive source to drive the sliding of the material 22, thus reducing the need for a drive source and reducing the development cost of the material rack.

[0015] Furthermore, two second feeding beams 5 are provided below the two first feeding beams 4, and both the first feeding beams 4 and the second feeding beams 5 are arranged at an angle to the horizontal plane. The second feeding beams 5 are used to construct a second-layer material storage rack, increasing its storage capacity by double compared to traditional racks. The angled arrangement of the second feeding beams 5 to the horizontal plane facilitates the free sliding of the material 22 from the transfer point B to the feeding point C above the second feeding beams 5, eliminating the need for a drive source to propel the material 22, thus reducing the need for a drive source and lowering the rack's development costs.

[0016] Furthermore, multiple second reinforcing beams 3 are provided along the width direction between the two first feeding beams 4 and the two second feeding beams 5. The second reinforcing beams 3 serve to reinforce and connect the materials, and multiple second reinforcing beams 3 are provided.

[0017] Furthermore, a load-bearing crossbeam 6 is provided along the length direction between the two first feeding crossbeams 4 and the two second feeding crossbeams 5. The two ends of the plurality of load-bearing crossbeams 6 are detachably and fixedly connected to the second reinforcing crossbeams 3 located at both ends of the first feeding crossbeams 4 and the second feeding crossbeams 5 via connectors 13. Specifically, the plurality of load-bearing crossbeams 6 serve to support the material 22, preventing the material 22 from falling, while simultaneously allowing the material 22 to slide down along the length direction of the load-bearing crossbeams 6.

[0018] Furthermore, the material transfer point B is provided with the material transfer assembly, which includes a first material lifting drive source 7, a first material clamping drive source 9, a second material clamping drive source 10, a material rotation drive source 11, and a material limiting drive source 12.

[0019] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first material lifting drive source 7, the first material clamping drive source 9, the second material clamping drive source 10, the material rotation drive source 11, and the material limiting drive source 12 are all pneumatic drive sources. The pneumatic drive source has the following advantages: 1. Significant economic and cost advantages; 2. Simple structure and low maintenance difficulty; 3. High safety adaptability and environmental friendliness; 4. Fast response speed and stable operation.

[0020] Furthermore, the fixed end of the first material clamping drive source 9 is hinged to the second reinforcing beam 3 at the end of the second unloading beam 5 via the connecting frame 13, which enables the connecting frame 13 to rotate around the second reinforcing beam 3 hinged to it, thereby driving the first material clamping drive source 9 to rotate.

[0021] Furthermore, the output end of the first material clamping drive source 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the second material clamping drive source 10. Specifically, the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the second material clamping drive source 10 enables the second material clamping drive source 10 to move closer to and further away from the material.

[0022] Furthermore, the fixed end of the material rotation drive source 11 is fixedly connected to the second reinforcing beam 3 at the end of the second feeding beam 5 via an L-shaped bracket 14, wherein the material rotation drive source 11 is located directly below the connecting frame 13.

[0023] Furthermore, the output shaft of the material rotation drive source 11 is hinged to the middle part of the connecting frame 13, which enables relative rotation between the connecting frame 13 and the material rotation drive source 11.

[0024] Furthermore, when the output shaft of the material rotation drive source 11 extends to its longest length, that is, when the output shaft of the material rotation drive source 11 pushes the first material clamping drive source 9, the second material clamping drive source 10 and the connecting frame 13 to rotate until the connecting frame 13 is parallel to the first unloading crossbeam 4, the material rotation drive source 11 stops working at this time, the output shaft of the first material clamping drive source 9 extends, so that the material to be gripped is located in the gripper of the first material clamping drive source 9, and at this time the second material clamping drive source 10 clamps the material.

[0025] Furthermore, after the material 22 is clamped, the output shaft of the material rotation drive source 11 is shortened to its shortest state, so that the connecting frame 13 is parallel to the second feeding beam 5. The second material clamping drive source 10 releases the gripper, places the material 13 above the second feeding beam 5, and allows it to slide freely to the feeding point C.

[0026] Furthermore, connecting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two first feeding crossbeams 4 along the width direction. The fixed ends of the two first material lifting drive sources 7 and the material limiting drive source 12 are all fixed to one side of the connecting plate 15. The material limiting drive source 12 is located between the two first material lifting drive sources 7. The first material lifting drive source 7 is used to lift the material 22 directly above the output end, so that the first material clamping drive source 9 can clamp it.

[0027] Furthermore, the output end of the first material lifting drive source 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting frame 16, and the other end of the first connecting frame 16 is located directly below the material B at the transfer point. The output end of the material limiting drive source 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting frame 17; both the first connecting frame 16 and the second connecting frame 17 are L-shaped. Specifically, by using the first connecting frame 16, the lifting force of the first material lifting drive source 7 is positioned directly below the material 22, and the material limiting drive source 12 prevents the material 22 from tipping over after being lifted, thereby limiting the material 22.

[0028] Furthermore, the unloading point C is also provided with an unloading assembly, which includes a second material lifting drive source 8, a third connecting frame 18, and a fourth connecting frame 23.

[0029] Furthermore, the fixed end of the second material lifting drive source 8 is fixedly connected to the second reinforcing beam 3 of the unloading point C through the third connecting frame 18, and the output end of the second material lifting drive source 8 is fixedly connected to the fourth connecting frame 23, which is located directly below the material 22 at the unloading point C.

[0030] Furthermore, the second material lifting drive source 8 lifts the material 22 through the fourth connecting frame 23, making it easier for the robot's robotic arm to grab the material 22 on the material rack later.

[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting posts 19 are fixedly provided at the upper end of the second reinforcing beam 3 located at the material feeding point C to prevent the material 22 from falling off the bearing beam 6.

[0032] Furthermore, the top ends of the first feeding beam 4 and the second feeding beam 5 are each provided with a limiting beam 21 by a limiting bracket 20. The bottom end of the limiting beam 21 is located directly above the upper end of the material 22 and does not contact the material 22, thereby limiting the material 22 and preventing the material 22 from stacking.

[0033] In this embodiment, the setting of the limiting beam 21, the limiting column 19 and each driving source realizes the precise positioning of the material 22, while the development cost of the material rack is low; at the same time, the supporting vertical beam 1, the first reinforcing beam 2, the second reinforcing beam 3, the first unloading beam 4 and the second unloading beam 5 are all made of octagonal tubes, which are easy to maintain and disassemble, and also reduce the later maintenance cost.

[0034] Working Principle: The octagonal tube self-weight automatic loading and unloading rack provided by this utility model includes four symmetrically distributed support vertical beams 1 and first reinforcing crossbeams 2 fixedly connected between adjacent support vertical beams 1; wherein the height of the two support vertical beams 1 located at the material inlet A is higher than the height of the two support vertical beams 1 located at the material transfer point B; two relatively parallel first unloading crossbeams 4 are provided at the top of the support vertical beams 1; two second unloading crossbeams 5 are provided below the two first unloading crossbeams 4; the two first unloading crossbeams 4 and the two second unloading crossbeams 5 are arranged at an angle to the horizontal plane; multiple second reinforcing crossbeams 3 are provided between the two first unloading crossbeams 4 and the two second unloading crossbeams 5 along the width direction; load-bearing crossbeams 6 are provided between the two first unloading crossbeams 4 and the two second unloading crossbeams 5 along the length direction; the two ends of the multiple load-bearing crossbeams 6 are detachably and fixedly connected to the second reinforcing crossbeams 3 located at the two ends of the first unloading crossbeams 4 and the two second unloading crossbeams 5 through connectors.

[0035] Specifically, it includes the following steps: S1: When the staff or the robotic arm set at the end of another production line grabs the material 22 and places it from the feeding point A onto the platform built by the first unloading beam 4 and the supporting beam 6, the material 22 slides down to the transfer point B under the action of gravity.

[0036] S2: The first material lifting drive source 7 operates to lift the material 22 located at the end of the first feeding beam 4, and the material limiting drive source 12 also operates at the same time to limit the material 22.

[0037] S3: The rotary drive source operates, driving the connecting frame 13, the first material clamping drive source 9, and the second material clamping drive source 10 to rotate around the hinge until the connecting frame 13 and the first unloading beam 4 are in a horizontal state.

[0038] S4: The output shaft of the first material clamping drive source 9 extends, so that the material 22 to be gripped is located in the gripper of the first material clamping drive source 9. At this time, the second material clamping drive source 10 clamps the material 22.

[0039] S5: After the material is clamped, the output shaft of the material rotation drive source 11 is shortened to its shortest state, so that the connecting frame 13 is parallel to the second feeding beam 5. The second material clamping drive source 10 releases the jaws, places the material 22 above the second feeding beam 5, and lets it slide freely to the feeding point C.

[0040] S6: When the robotic arm set at the unloading point C needs to pick up material, the second material lifting drive source 8 starts to work, lifting the material 22 located at the end of the second unloading beam 5, so that the robot can grab the material 22. After the robot grabs the material 22, the second material lifting drive source 8 is reset.

[0041] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
