[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent factories, the automation of production, packaging, and transportation has become an industry trend. As a core node in the logistics process, intelligent warehouses place higher demands on the storage and transfer efficiency of pallets. To reduce warehousing costs and meet the warehousing needs of multi-specification goods, mother-daughter pallets are widely used in intelligent warehousing scenarios because they enable the intensive storage and transportation of goods.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a pallet-and-child pallet merging device, including a conveying device, a positioning device, and a merging device that docks with the conveying device. The conveying device transports the mother pallet 18 and the child pallet 16 loaded with goods 17 to the merging device. The positioning device positions the mother pallet 18 and the child pallet 16 to ensure accurate docking. The merging device places the inserted child pallet 16 onto the mother pallet 18, thus completing the merging operation.

[0022] The conveying device includes a lifting and transferring mechanism 1 that connects to an external production line and a chain conveying mechanism 2 connected to the lifting and transferring mechanism 1, and a chain conveying mechanism 3 connected to the chain conveying mechanism 3; the pallet-joining device includes a pallet-joining bracket 4, a lifting drive mechanism 5 disposed on the pallet-joining bracket 4, a lifting bracket 6 connected to the lifting drive mechanism 5, and an insertion mechanism 7 disposed on the lifting bracket 6 for inserting and picking up the sub-pallet 16. When the mother pallet 18 is conveyed to the bottom of the sub-pallet 16, the pallet-joining device places the sub-pallet 16 onto the mother pallet 18.

[0023] In the above scheme, the sub-pallet 16 of the external production line carrying goods 17 is transported to the chain conveyor mechanism 1-2 via the lifting and transfer mechanism 1, and then to the chain conveyor mechanism 2-3 via the chain conveyor mechanism 2-3. It is then transported to the pallet-joining position via the chain conveyor mechanism 2-3. The pallet-joining device's insertion mechanism 7 then inserts the sub-pallet 16, and the lifting drive mechanism 5 drives the lifting bracket 6 to lift the sub-pallet 16. Next, the mother pallet 18 is transported to the bottom of the pallet-joining device via the chain conveyor mechanism 2-3. Once the mother pallet 18 is in place, the lifting drive mechanism 5 drives the sub-pallet 16 to descend and place it on the mother pallet 18. The insertion mechanism 7 then retracts, completing the pallet-joining process. This scheme achieves automated transport and pallet-joining connection between the sub-pallet 16 and the mother pallet 18 without manual intervention, improving pallet-joining efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning device includes a sub-pallet positioning component one disposed on one side of the chain conveyor mechanism 2, a sub-pallet positioning component two disposed within the internal area of ​​the chain conveyor mechanism 3, and a mother pallet positioning component. When the sub-pallet 16 is conveyed on the chain conveyor mechanism 2, it is initially positioned by the sub-pallet positioning component one. After entering the chain conveyor mechanism 3, it is further positioned by the sub-pallet positioning component two. When the mother pallet 18 is conveyed to the joining position on the chain conveyor mechanism 3, it is positioned by the mother pallet positioning component. By setting positioning components in different areas, targeted positioning of the sub-pallet 16 and mother pallet 18 before joining is achieved, providing a foundation for subsequent accurate joining and solving the problem of chaotic positioning before joining in the prior art.

[0025] The first sub-tray positioning component includes a baffle structure 11 and a lifting blocking structure 12, each corresponding to a tray of a certain size. Both the baffle structure 11 and the lifting blocking structure 12 are arranged opposite to the conveying direction of the lifting and transferring mechanism 1. The second sub-tray positioning component includes a second lifting blocking structure 13 and a third lifting blocking structure 14, each corresponding to a tray of a certain size. Both the second lifting blocking structure 13 and the third lifting blocking structure 14 are arranged on the conveying path of the chain conveying mechanism.

[0026] In the above scheme, taking the positioning of two specifications of sub-pallets 16 as an example, according to the specifications of the sub-pallets 16 obtained by scanning the code at the front end, the corresponding sub-pallet positioning components are assigned for blocking and positioning. The baffle structure 11 or the lifting blocking structure 12 blocks and positions the sub-pallets on the chain conveyor mechanism 2. After the sub-pallets 16 enter the chain conveyor mechanism 3, the corresponding lifting blocking structure 13 or the lifting blocking structure 14 further blocks and positions the sub-pallets.

[0027] The lifting blocking structure 2 13 and lifting blocking structure 3 14 are arranged one in front of the other. During positioning, the sub-pallet 16 is first conveyed to the front end of the lifting blocking structure 2 13, and then retracted to abut against it. The baffle structure 11 works with the lifting blocking structure 2 13 to position the sub-pallet 16 of one size, while the lifting blocking structure 12 works with the lifting blocking structure 3 14 to position the sub-pallet 16 of another size. Of course, the positions of the above positioning devices can be changed or adjusted according to specific positioning requirements to adapt to specific pallet positioning needs.

[0028] Different positioning structures are adapted to sub-pallets 16 of different sizes, realizing accurate positioning of sub-pallets 16 of multiple specifications, solving the problem that conventional devices are difficult to be compatible with multiple specifications of pallets, and improving the versatility of the device.

[0029] The lifting blocking structure 12, lifting blocking structure 13, and lifting blocking structure 14 are all arranged on both sides, and they block and position the sub-tray 16 on both sides. The double-sided blocking improves the stability of the sub-tray 16's positioning and avoids the offset caused by single-sided positioning.

[0030] The mother pallet positioning assembly includes a lifting and blocking structure 15. The mother pallet 18 is conveyed to the pallet holding device via a chain conveyor mechanism 3. The lifting and blocking structure 4 blocks the middle of the mother pallet 18. The blocking of the middle of the mother pallet 18 achieves misalignment with the positioning of the daughter pallet 16 during installation. On the other hand, it is positioned by the guide plates on both sides of the chain conveyor mechanism 3 during conveying. A single positioning structure can ensure that its position is centered.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the insertion mechanisms 7 are symmetrically arranged and are respectively inserted into the notches on both sides of the mother tray 18. The insertion mechanism 7 includes an insertion seat 8 mounted on the lifting bracket 6, an insertion plate 9 slidably connected to the insertion seat 8, and an insertion drive mechanism 10 for driving the insertion plate 9 to extend or retract. The insertion drive mechanism 10 is connected to the bottom of the insertion plate 9.

[0032] In the above scheme, after the sub-pallet 16 is positioned, the insertion drive mechanism 10 drives the insertion plate 9 to extend from the insertion seat 8 and insert into the notches on both sides of the sub-pallet 16. The lifting drive mechanism 5 drives the lifting bracket 6 to rise, lifting the sub-pallet 16. After the mother pallet 18 is in place, the lifting drive mechanism 5 drives the lifting bracket 6 to descend, and the insertion drive mechanism 10 drives the insertion plate 9 to retract, so that the sub-pallet 16 is stably placed on the mother pallet 18. The symmetrical insertion design ensures that the sub-pallet 16 is subjected to uniform force, avoiding tilting during lifting. The insertion plate 9 is flexible in extension and retraction, adapting to the structure of the sub-pallet 16, and the pallet closing process is stable, further ensuring the accuracy of pallet closing and reducing the risk of the goods 17 being bumped or falling due to pallet misalignment.

[0033] This solution achieves fully automated operation of merging mother and child pallets without manual intervention, significantly improving merging efficiency and reducing labor costs. Through regional positioning components and a double-sided blocking design, it accurately completes the positioning of multi-specification child pallets 16 and the centering positioning of the mother pallet 18, with small merging errors, solving the problems of chaotic positioning and large deviations in existing technologies.
