[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a palletizing device with quickly replaceable grippers according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1. Two circulating tracks 2 are fixedly connected to the frame 1. Multiple adjusting plates 3 are movably mounted on the two circulating tracks 2. Each adjusting plate 3 has a groove 4 that matches the circulating track 2, and each adjusting plate 3 is mounted on the circulating track 2 through the groove 4. Each circulating track 2 has a limiting groove 6, and a limiting block 5 that matches the limiting groove 6 is fixedly connected inside each groove 4. Each limiting block 5 is disposed inside the groove 4. A driving device for driving the adjusting plates 3 to move is installed on the circulating track 2.

[0025] The frame 1 provides a stable foundation for the entire device, while the two circulating tracks 2 form a closed ring transmission mechanism. Limit blocks 5 and limit grooves 6 prevent the adjusting plate 3 from tipping over, jumping, or detaching from the tracks, ensuring stable and reliable operation. The drive unit uses a servo motor in conjunction with chain drive, enabling precise transport of the designated adjusting plate 3 and its clamps to the desired position.

[0026] A clamp for palletizing and gripping goods is installed on the adjusting plate 3. The clamp includes a bracket 10 fixedly mounted on the adjusting plate 3, and two first hydraulic cylinders 7 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 10. The output ends of the two first hydraulic cylinders 7 are fixedly connected to clamping plates 8. The two first hydraulic cylinders 7 are symmetrically arranged and can output a stable linear thrust. Pushing the clamping plates 8 applies a balanced clamping force to the goods, which is suitable for gripping regular boxes or bags, ensuring a firm grip and avoiding deformation or damage to the goods due to uneven force. Two guide bars 9 are fixedly connected to the bracket 10, and the clamping plates 8 are slidably connected between the two guide bars 9. The guide bars 9 and the clamping plates 8 can form a sliding pair. When the first hydraulic cylinders 7 push the clamping plates 8, the two clamping plates 8 can always move in parallel, achieving precise gripping.

[0027] Each adjusting plate 3 is equipped with a locking mechanism for fixing its position. The locking mechanism includes two mounting slots 11 on the adjusting plate 3, each slot 11 having a second hydraulic cylinder 12 fixedly connected inside. The output end of each second hydraulic cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to a contact block 13. When the adjusting plate 3 moves to the target position, the second hydraulic cylinder 12 activates upon receiving a signal, driving the contact block 13 to extend and press against the circulating track 2. Static friction completely locks the adjusting plate 3, ensuring stacking accuracy and operational safety.

[0028] Two mounting brackets 14 are fixedly connected to the frame 1. Each mounting bracket 14 has a mounting opening 15 and multiple reinforcing ribs 16 are fixedly connected to each mounting bracket 14. The other end of each reinforcing rib 16 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. An operation panel 17 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The mounting openings 15 on the mounting brackets 14 facilitate the installation of the equipment, the reinforcing ribs 16 enhance its overall strength and improve its service life, and the operation panel 17 facilitates the operation and control of the equipment by the operator, making it convenient to use.

[0029] During palletizing operations, the device can be fixed to an external drive device, such as a vehicle, via the mounting bracket 14. Subsequently, various special clamps can be installed on different adjusting plates 3 according to actual needs, such as special grippers suitable for boxes, bags, or barrels. During operation, with the help of a preset drive device, all adjusting plates 3 installed on the circulating track 2 are driven to move in a cycle. When a specific adjusting plate 3 carrying its clamps moves to a preset working position, the locking mechanism on the adjusting plate 3 is activated. Through the extension of the second hydraulic cylinder 12, the abutment block 13 is pushed to tightly abut against the circulating track 2, thereby firmly fixing the adjusting plate 3 in the current position. After locking, the clamps at this station begin to perform their tasks. At this time, the two first hydraulic cylinders 7 act synchronously, driving the two clamps 8 to move smoothly and synchronously towards each other along the guide bar 9 to accurately clamp or release goods. If it is necessary to change the clamps, the drive device can be restarted again to remove the currently used adjusting plate 3 and send the next adjusting plate 3 carrying the corresponding clamps to the working position in a cycle.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
