[0017] See attached document Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 8 This utility model provides a device for automated material feeding and palletizing, including a chassis 1, a material trolley 2 on one side of the chassis 1, multiple material boxes 3 stacked on top of the material trolley 2, a material feeding and conveying platform mechanism 8 at the bottom of the chassis 1, an mounting plate 4 fixedly mounted on one side of the chassis 1, a gripping and lifting mechanism 5 on one side of the mounting plate 4, a sorting platform mechanism 6 inside the chassis 1, lifting platforms 7 on both sides of the sorting platform mechanism 6, and an empty box conveying platform mechanism 9 and a turnover platform mechanism 10 inside the chassis 1. In this implementation scheme, the material boxes 3 are stacked on the material cart 2, the material cart 2 is pushed, and the material cart 2 moves the material boxes 3 to the side of the chassis 1, transferring the material boxes 3 on the material cart 2 to the feeding and conveying platform mechanism 8. To achieve the purpose of material feeding and conveying, this device adopts the following technical solution: The material feeding and conveying platform mechanism 8 includes a slide rail 19, the top of which is connected to multiple conveying rollers 14 via bearings. A first blocking mechanism 16, a second blocking mechanism 17, and a third blocking mechanism 18 are respectively installed at the bottom of the material feeding and conveying platform mechanism 8. A first sensor 11, a second sensor 12, a third sensor 13, and a fourth sensor 15 are respectively installed on one side of the material feeding and conveying platform mechanism 8. The material box 3 moves on the conveying rollers 14, conveying the required raw materials or finished products to the feeding platform. The conveying platform mechanism 8 schedules the material box 3 through the PLC system. The first sensor 11 detects and identifies the material box's arrival. If there is no material box, the first blocking mechanism 16 lowers to allow the material box 3 to flow to the waiting position. The second blocking mechanism 17 and the third blocking mechanism 18 are used to block the material box 3. The second sensor 12, the third sensor 13 and the fourth sensor 15 on both sides of the material box 3 identify and judge the material box. The material conveying platform is filled with material in sequence. The conveying platform can work and run at the same time. The equipment is replenished while running, and the equipment does not stop. To achieve the purpose of turnover, this device adopts the following technical solution: The turnover platform mechanism 10 includes a cylinder 21, and a turnover platform 20 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 21. Slide rails 19 are provided on both sides of the turnover platform 20. The turnover platform 20 is slidably connected to the slide rails 19. The slide rails 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A fifth sensor 22 is provided on the top of the turnover platform 20. The fifth sensor 22 is used to identify that the material box 3 is placed in position on the turnover platform 20, and the material products can be grabbed. The cylinder 21 controls the movement of the turnover platform 20 and the material box 3 on its top. To achieve the sorting purpose, this device adopts the following technical solution: The lifting platform 7 is installed at the bottom of the sorting platform mechanism 6. Combined with the turnover platform mechanism 10, the empty material box 3 is moved to the bottom of the sorting platform mechanism 6. The lifting platform 7 is controlled to rise and fall by the PLC-driven servo lifting mechanism, and the mounting plate 4 and the gripping and lifting mechanism 5 are moved to the work position. The gripping and lifting mechanism 5 is identified by a sensor, and then the empty material box 3 is gripped and lifted. When the conditions are met, the turnover platform returns to the working position, and the above full material box sorting process is repeated. To achieve the purpose of empty box transportation, this device adopts the following technical solution: The empty box transportation platform mechanism 9 includes a transportation platform 23 and a sixth sensor 25. The top of the transportation platform 23 is equipped with a fourth blocking mechanism 24. Combined with the sorting platform mechanism 6, the empty boxes are transported onto the transportation platform 23. The PLC drives the belt conveyor line to transfer the empty boxes to the designated location. Figure 7 The position is simultaneously identified and judged by the sixth sensor 25, and the fourth blocking mechanism 24 opens the blocking mechanism. The above process is repeated in sequence to gradually fill the empty box on the conveyor platform. To achieve the gripping purpose, this device adopts the following technical solution: The gripping and lifting mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 26, which is installed on one side of the mounting plate 4. Pneumatic grippers 28 are provided on both sides of the fixed plate 26, and a seventh sensor 27 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 26. The gripping and lifting mechanism 5 is lowered to the material picking position by the PLC. The height of the material box 3 is identified by the seventh sensor 27. Since the material boxes 3 are stacked together, two sets of sensors are needed to identify whether there is material or whether there is material during the gripping process. The pneumatic grippers 28 grip the empty box conveying platform mechanism 9, which has a sensor to identify the position. If the condition is met, the mechanism is lifted and raised to move the loaded material box 3 to the turnover platform mechanism 10. In order to place it accurately, the turnover platform assists in secondary positioning, and the sensor identifies the position.

[0018] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, material boxes 3 are stacked on material carts 2. The material carts 2 are pushed, and the material boxes 3 are moved to the side of the machine box 1. The material boxes 3 on the material carts 2 are transferred to the feeding and conveying platform mechanism 8. The material boxes 3 move on the conveying rollers 14, conveying the required raw materials or finished products to the feeding and conveying platform mechanism 8. The material boxes 3 are scheduled through the PLC system. The first sensor 11 is used to detect and identify the material boxes in place. If there are no material boxes, the first blocking mechanism 16 lowers the blocking mechanism, allowing the material boxes 3 to flow to the waiting position. The sensor identifies this, and the second blocking mechanism 17 and the third blocking mechanism 18 are used to block the material boxes. The second sensor 12, the third sensor 13 and the fourth sensor 15 on both sides of the material boxes 3 identify and judge the material boxes. The feeding and conveying platform is filled with material in sequence. The conveying platform can work and run at the same time. The equipment is replenished while running. The equipment does not stop. The grabbing and lifting mechanism 5 is lowered to the picking position through the PLC. The material position is identified using the seventh sensor 27 to determine the height of the material box 3. Because the material boxes 3 are stacked, two sets of sensors are needed to identify whether there is material present or if there is material during the gripping process. The pneumatic gripper 28 grips the empty box. The conveyor platform mechanism 9 has a sensor for positioning identification. If the condition is met, it is lifted and moved to the turnover platform mechanism 10. For accurate placement, the turnover platform assists in secondary positioning, and the sensor identifies the position. The fifth sensor 22 identifies that the material box 3 is in place on the turnover platform 20, and the material can be gripped. The cylinder 21 controls the movement of the turnover platform 20 and the material box 3 on top of it. The PLC drives the servo lifting mechanism to control the lifting platform 7 to rise and fall. The mounting plate 4 and the gripping lifting mechanism 5 are moved to the work position. The gripping lifting mechanism 5 has a sensor for identification, and then the empty material box 3 is gripped and lifted. If the condition is met, the turnover platform returns to the working position, and the above full-material box sorting process is repeated. The PLC drives the belt conveyor line to transfer the material to the work position. Figure 7The position is determined by the sixth sensor 25, and the fourth blocking mechanism 24 opens the block. The above process is repeated to gradually fill the empty box on the conveyor platform.
