Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loading platform technology, and in particular to a stacker crane loading platform with a clamping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) across various industries, the industries served by AS / RS are becoming increasingly diverse, and the storage methods are also becoming more varied, placing higher demands on the functionality of stacker cranes. Currently, most stacker crane loading platforms on the market do not have clamping functions. For stacker cranes carrying tall, irregular, or high-speed goods, there is a significant risk of goods collapsing, causing damage to the goods or the stacker crane system itself.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a stacker crane loading platform with a clamping mechanism that can effectively clamp the goods on the loading platform. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a stacker crane loading platform with a clamping mechanism, which solves the technical problem in the prior art where goods on the loading platform have a high risk of collapse, causing damage to the goods or the stacker crane system. The various technical effects of the preferred technical solutions provided by this utility model are detailed below.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This utility model provides a stacker crane loading platform with a clamping mechanism, including a loading platform installed on the stacker crane, and further comprising: Clamping mechanism fixing seats, two sets of clamping mechanism fixing seats are symmetrically installed on the loading platform; Clamping plates, two sets of clamping plates are respectively movably connected to the opposite surfaces of two sets of clamping mechanism fixing seats, and are respectively driven by two sets of clamping motors on the clamping mechanism fixing seats. The two sets of clamping plates move closer to the goods on the loading platform from top to bottom along the arc direction or move away from the goods on the loading platform from bottom to top along the arc direction. A plurality of clamping rocker arms are arranged in parallel and hinged between the clamping mechanism fixing seat and the clamping plate. The output shaft of the clamping motor is fixedly connected to the hinge point of one group of clamping rocker arms on the clamping mechanism fixing seat.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping plate includes: A clamping fixing plate, wherein the clamping rocker arm is hinged between the clamping mechanism fixing seat and the clamping fixing plate; A floating plate is provided, which is vertically arranged and horizontally slidably connected to the side of the clamping and fixing plate near the cargo, and an elastic element is provided between the floating plate and the clamping and fixing plate.

[0007] Preferred options also include: A slider, a plurality of the sliders being fixedly connected to the side of the floating plate away from the cargo; A plurality of fixed sleeves are fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate near the cargo. The slider slides horizontally within the fixed sleeves, and the elastic element is installed between the slider and the fixed sleeves.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic element includes: A spring is fixedly connected between the slider and the inner bottom wall of the fixed sleeve.

[0009] Preferred options also include: The first sensor is mounted on the clamping plate and is correspondingly arranged with respect to the floating plate.

[0010] Preferred options also include: The second sensor is mounted on the clamping mechanism mounting base and is correspondingly arranged with respect to the clamping mounting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the floating plate is located above the inner side of the loading platform.

[0012] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, the clamping mechanism fixing seat is installed on the loading platform, and the clamping plates are movably connected to the clamping mechanism fixing seat. The clamping plates are driven by the clamping motor to approach the goods, and the two sets of clamping plates clamp the goods on both sides. Specifically, the two sets of clamping plates move in an arc during the clamping process, approaching the goods from top to bottom until the goods are clamped. Because the movement trajectory of the clamping plates is arc-shaped, the goods are subjected to a downward force while being horizontally clamped, that is, the goods are pressed onto the loading platform, which can effectively clamp the goods and reduce the risk of the goods collapsing. The clamping motor is started in the opposite direction, that is, the two sets of clamping plates open and detach from the goods, at which point unloading can be carried out. Overall, the stacker crane loading platform of this application can effectively clamp goods from two directions, thereby ensuring smooth and safe cargo transfer. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] refer to Figure 1-3 A specific embodiment of this utility model provides a stacker crane loading platform with a clamping mechanism, including a loading platform 1 installed on the stacker crane, and a clamping mechanism fixing seat 3 and clamping plates. Two sets of clamping mechanism fixing seats 3 are symmetrically installed on the loading platform 1. Two sets of clamping plates are movably connected to the opposite surfaces of the two sets of clamping mechanism fixing seats 3, and are driven by two sets of clamping motors 4 on the clamping mechanism fixing seats 3. The two sets of clamping plates move closer to the goods on the loading platform 1 from top to bottom along an arc direction or move away from the goods on the loading platform 1 from bottom to top along an arc direction.

[0018] Most stacker crane loading platforms on the market currently lack clamping functionality. For stacker cranes carrying tall, irregular, or high-speed goods, there is a significant risk of goods collapsing, causing damage to the goods or the stacker crane itself. In this application, a clamping mechanism fixing seat 3 is installed on the loading platform 1, and clamping plates are movably connected to the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3. The clamping motor 4 drives the clamping plates to approach the goods, clamping both sides of the goods through two sets of clamping plates. Specifically, during the clamping process, the two sets of clamping plates move in an arc, simultaneously approaching the goods from top to bottom until they are clamped. Because the movement trajectory of the clamping plates is arc-shaped, the goods are horizontally clamped while also experiencing a downward force, i.e., the goods are pressed onto the loading platform 1, effectively clamping the goods and reducing the risk of collapse. Reversing the clamping motor 4 opens the two sets of clamping plates, detaching them from the goods, allowing for unloading. Overall, the stacker crane loading platform of this application can effectively clamp goods from two directions, thereby ensuring smooth and safe cargo transfer.

[0019] Further optimization of the scheme also includes clamping rocker arms 2, several clamping rocker arms 2 arranged in parallel are hinged between the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3 and the clamping plate, the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3 and the clamping plate are arranged in parallel, and the output shaft of the clamping motor 4 is fixedly connected to the hinge point of one of the clamping rocker arms 2 on the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, adjacent clamping rocker arms 2 are arranged in parallel, and together with the parallel clamping mechanism fixing seat 3 and clamping plate, they form a deformable parallelogram structure. In the initial state, i.e., the unclamped state, the clamping plate is set close to the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3, and the clamping rocker arms 2 are in a folded and retracted state. When it is necessary to clamp the goods on the loading platform 1, the clamping motor 4 is started. The clamping motor 4 drives one set of clamping rocker arms 2 to rotate, pushing the clamping plate closer to the goods. All the clamping rocker arms 2 unfold synchronously with the clamping plate until the two sets of clamping plates are tightly attached to the side of the goods, and the clamping is completed. If the clamping motor 4 is started in the opposite direction, the clamping plate is opened and the goods are released, and unloading can be carried out at this time.

[0021] Further optimize the plan, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the clamping plate includes a clamping fixing plate 5 and a floating plate 7. The clamping rocker arm 2 is hinged between the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3 and the clamping fixing plate 5. The floating plate 7 is vertically arranged and is horizontally slidably connected to the side of the clamping fixing plate 5 near the goods. An elastic element is provided between the floating plate 7 and the clamping fixing plate 5.

[0022] Initially, the elastic element is not compressed, and the goods are not clamped. When the clamping motor 4 is started, it drives one set of clamping rocker arms 2 to rotate, pushing the clamping fixing plate 5 and the floating plate 7 closer to the goods. All the clamping rocker arms 2 expand synchronously with the clamping plates until the two sets of floating plates 7 contact the sides of the goods. At this time, the clamping rocker arms 2 continue to rotate, and the clamping fixing plate 5 continues to approach the goods. After the floating plate 7 contacts the goods, it no longer moves horizontally relative to the goods. The elastic element is compressed by the clamping fixing plate 5 and the floating plate 7, causing elastic deformation and completing the clamping action. During the compression of the elastic element, the floating plate 7 moves downward a certain distance relative to the goods. The elastic element can avoid hard contact between the floating plate 7 and the goods, that is, it produces a buffering effect to avoid damage to the goods or the goods packaging from hard contact. When releasing the clamping state, the clamping motor 4 is started in reverse, and the clamping fixing plate 5 gradually moves away from the goods. The elastic element is gradually released. After the elastic element is completely released, the floating plate detaches from the goods, and unloading can then be carried out.

[0023] Further optimization of the scheme also includes slider 10 and fixed sleeve 11. Several sliders 10 are fixedly connected to the side of the floating plate 7 away from the cargo, and several fixed sleeves 11 are fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 5 close to the cargo. The slider 10 slides horizontally in the fixed sleeve 11, and the elastic element is installed between the slider 10 and the fixed sleeve 11. The elastic element includes a spring 6, which is fixedly connected between the slider 10 and the inner bottom wall of the fixed sleeve 11.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the slider 10 slides horizontally within the fixed sleeve 11, meaning the floating plate 7 slides horizontally relative to the clamping plate 5. When the floating plate 7 contacts the goods, it stops moving. As the clamping plate 5 continues to move, the distance between the floating plate 7 and the clamping plate 5 continuously decreases, and the spring 6 is continuously compressed. After the clamping motor 4 stops running, the spring 6 stops compressing, completing the clamping action. During this process, the spring 6 provides a buffering effect.

[0025] Further optimize the plan, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a first sensor 8 and a second sensor 9. The first sensor 8 is mounted on the clamping plate 5 and is set in correspondence with the floating plate 7. The second sensor 9 is mounted on the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3 and is set in correspondence with the clamping plate 5.

[0026] The first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 are microswitches, and are electrically connected to the PLC controller on the loading platform 1. When the floating plate 7 contacts the goods, it stops moving. As the clamping plate 5 continues to move and gradually approaches the floating plate 7, the spring 6 is continuously compressed until the floating plate 7 contacts the first sensor 8 on the clamping plate 5. The first sensor 8 transmits a signal to the PLC controller, and then the PLC controller sends a stop signal to the clamping motor 4 to complete the clamping action. All the clamping rocker arms 2 are in the extended state. When the goods are released, the clamping motor 4 is started in reverse by the PLC controller, and the floating plate 7 is released from the goods until the clamping plate 5 contacts the second sensor 9 on the clamping mechanism fixing seat 3. The second sensor 9 transmits a signal to the PLC controller, and then the PLC controller sends a stop signal to the clamping motor 4. The floating plate 7 is retracted, and all the clamping rocker arms 2 are in the folded and retracted state. At this time, unloading can be carried out.

[0027] The design was further optimized so that the floating plate 7 is located on the inner side above the loading platform 1.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this setup allows for the clamping of all goods by horizontally clamping the goods above the inner side of the loading platform 1 and simultaneously pressing down on the goods below.
