[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment of the present invention, a material stacking device includes a transverse moving component 1 and a stacking platform 2 mounted on the transverse moving component 1 for stacking materials. A stacking component 3 is mounted on the transverse moving component 1 for clamping and stacking the materials. The stacking component 3 includes: The base plate 301 is mounted on the transverse component 1; The clamping structure 302 is in multiple sets, and all sets of clamping structures 302 are connected to the base plate 301 through the drive structure 304. The centering structure 303 is in multiple sets. All sets of centering structures 303 are connected to the base plate 301 through the drive structure 304. The clamping structure 302 corresponds one-to-one with the centering structure 303.

[0018] Specifically, the base plate 301 is mounted on the transverse moving assembly 1 and moves with it, enabling the clamping structure 302 and the centering structure 303 located on the base plate 301 to move from one end of the stacking platform 2 to the other. The clamping structure 302 clamps the material located at one end of the stacking platform 2, so the material moves along with it. When the material reaches the designated position, the clamping structure 302 releases, and simultaneously the centering structure 303 moves to the corresponding position to complete the centering process. The clamping and releasing of the clamping structure 302 and the centering action of the centering structure 303 are both controlled by the drive structure 304, thereby achieving rapid stacking of materials. The number of clamping structures 302 and centering structures 303 is not limited. In this embodiment, there are two clamping structures 302 and two centering structures 303, which can simultaneously stack two materials to improve efficiency. Both the clamping structure 302 and the centering structure 303 include two opposing grippers, which are used to clamp or center the material, and the grippers are controlled by the telescopic drive 3044.

[0019] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, preferably, the drive structure 304 includes a lifting drive member 3041 connected to the base plate 301. A connecting plate 3042 located above the base plate 301 is mounted on the lifting drive member 3041. A second linear guide rail 3043 is mounted on the top of the connecting plate 3042. A clamping structure 302 or a centering structure 303 is mounted on the second linear guide rail 3043. A telescopic drive member 3044 is mounted on the connecting plate 3042 to drive the clamping structure 302 or the centering structure 303 to move, for driving the clamping structure 302 or the centering structure 303 to clamp or center the material.

[0020] Specifically, the base plate 301 provides support for the lifting drive component 3041, and its telescopic end is connected to the connecting plate 3042. It is driven by the lifting drive component 3041 to move up and down. The second linear guide rail 3043 can limit the movement direction of the clamping structure 302 and the centering structure 303, ensuring that the material can fully contact the side wall when it is clamped or centered. The movement of the clamping structure 302 and the centering structure 303 is controlled by the telescopic drive component 3044 to move relative to each other. When the telescopic drive component 3044 controls the clamping structure 302 to clamp the material, the lifting drive component 3041 drives the connecting plate 3042 to rise, so that the clamped material is suspended in the air, avoiding friction between the material and the stacking platform 2 during the transfer process. When the clamping structure 302 moves the material to the stacking position, the lifting drive component 3041 retracts, and the material is placed on the marble platform 202.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, preferably, a support 4 that moves together with the base plate 301 is also installed on the base plate 301. An extrusion drive 5 is installed on the support 4 to eliminate gaps between materials during the stacking process. Furthermore, the support 4 is fixed to the base plate 301 and supported by the base plate 301. An extrusion drive 301 is installed on the top of the support 4. The telescopic end of the extrusion drive 301 is close to the material. After all the materials are stacked, the extrusion drive 301 applies a thrust to the stacked body to eliminate gaps between material layers, ensure tight stacking, and facilitate subsequent gripping and use.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, preferably, the system further includes a base assembly 6 and a transverse component 1 disposed above the base assembly 6. A guide rail assembly 7 is mounted on the base assembly 6 to limit the movement direction of the transverse component 1. A drive assembly 8 is mounted on the transverse component 1 to drive the transverse component 1 to move along the guide rail assembly 7. Furthermore, the base assembly 6 provides support for the transverse component 1, and the guide rail assembly 7 provides guidance for the movement of the transverse component 1. The drive assembly 8 cooperates with the guide rail assembly 7 to realize the movement of the transverse component 1.

[0023] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, preferably, the base assembly 6 includes a second frame 601. A plurality of feet 602 are installed on the bottom of the second frame 601. The feet 602 are connected to the second frame 601 by threads. Furthermore, the top of the feet 602 is provided with external threads and connected to the internal threads on the second frame 601. The length of the feet 602 extending below the second frame 601 can be adjusted by rotating the feet 602. The bottom of the feet 602 is covered with rubber. The height of the second frame 601 can be adjusted by ±30mm by the feet 602. The material stacking device can be kept level by adjusting the feet 602 in uneven factory buildings.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, preferably, the guide rail assembly 7 includes two third linear guide rails 701, which are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the top of the second frame 601. A helical rack 702 located between the two third linear guide rails 701 is installed on the top of the second frame 601. Furthermore, the two third linear guide rails 701 provide movement guidance and support for the second frame 601, preventing it from deviating during movement. The helical rack 702 does not contact the first frame 101. Limiting blocks are installed at both ends of the third linear guide rails 701 on the top of the second frame 601 to prevent the slide table 105 from detaching from the third linear guide rails 701 during movement.

[0025] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, preferably, the drive assembly 8 includes a mounting plate 801 connected to the transverse assembly 1. A geared motor 802 is mounted on the top of the mounting plate 801. The end of the geared motor 802 passes through the mounting plate 801 and is fitted with a helical gear 803 that meshes with the helical rack 702. The mounting plate 801 provides support for the geared motor 802. The geared motor 802 drives the helical gear 803 located below the mounting plate 801 to rotate. The helical gear 803 meshes with the helical rack 702. Since the position of the helical rack 702 is fixed, the helical gear 803 rotates in both directions and, after engaging with the helical rack 702, provides power to the first frame 101, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the first frame 101.

[0026] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, preferably, the transverse component 1 includes a first frame 101. A servo module 102 is mounted on the top of the first frame 101 for driving the connecting plate 3042 connected thereto to move. A first linear guide rail 103 is mounted on the top of the first frame 101, and a slider 104 connected to the connecting plate 3042 is mounted on the first linear guide rail 103. A slide table 105 that slides with a third linear guide rail 701 is mounted on the bottom of the first frame 101. Furthermore, the servo module 102 provides the driving force for the movement of the stacking component 3, and the third linear guide rail 701 and the slide table 105 provide stable support and guidance for the first frame 101 through their coordinated cooperation. At the same time, the first linear guide rail 103 and the slider 104 can provide stable support and guidance for the stacking component 3. Limiting blocks are mounted on both sides of the first linear guide rail 103 to prevent the slider 104 from sliding out of the first linear guide rail 103, thereby increasing safety.

[0027] Please see Figure 7In one embodiment, preferably, the stacking platform 2 includes two spans 201, which are connected by a marble platform 202. Both spans 201 are mounted on the first frame 101. A positioning block 203 is mounted on the marble platform 202. A centering component 9 is mounted on the span 201 adjacent to the positioning block 203. Furthermore, the spacing between the two spans 201 is relatively large, which can meet the requirements of most module specifications. At the same time, the accuracy of the stacking surface can be ensured by grinding the marble platform 202.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, preferably, it further includes a plurality of sensors 10, which are respectively mounted on the stacking platform 2, the base plate 301, and the clamping structure 302. Further, the sensors 10 are slot-type photoelectric sensors and through-beam photoelectric sensors. There are two sets of through-beam photoelectric sensors, with their transmitting and receiving ends respectively set on both sides of the material stacking position, for detecting material stacking offset, which can eliminate the risk of material offset. The slot-type photoelectric sensor is mounted on the geared motor 802 to accurately detect the start and stop position of the stacking platform 2. The slot-type photoelectric sensor is used to detect the movement position of the geared motor 802 and the servo module 102 and feed it back to the PLC. The through-beam photoelectric sensor is used to detect the position accuracy of the material stack to prevent offset.

[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the loading robot lowers with two pieces of material. Then, the lifting drive component 3041 actuates, clamping the material through the clamping structure 302 in the lifted state, keeping it suspended. At this time, the sensor installed on the clamping structure 302 detects whether the two pieces of material are in place and sends a signal to the servo motor connected to the servo module 102. After receiving the signal, the servo module 102 drives the stacking assembly 3 to move along the first linear guide rail 103 to the other end of the stacking platform 2. Upon reaching the designated position, the lifting drive 3041 lowers the clamping structure 302, allowing the material to fall smoothly onto the marble platform 202. The clamping structure 302 then releases the material, ensuring it is completely placed on the platform, and then retracts to the centering position. The centering structure 303 then moves to precisely center the two pieces of material. After this, the clamping structure 302 moves forward to the stacking position of the first piece of material, clamps it, and moves it to the front of the stacking platform 2, aligning it with the positioning block 203. The material is then released. Next, the clamping structure... 302 returns, clamps the second material, and repeats the above actions to achieve side-by-side alignment of the two materials; after completing one double-material stacking, the stacking component 3 retracts to the receiving position, preparing for the next cycle; the system repeatedly executes the actions of "receiving materials → centering → moving to the stacking position → placing two materials in sequence" until the preset stacking layer is reached; when the last pair of materials is placed, the extrusion drive 5 is activated, applying a pushing force to the stacked material group to eliminate interlayer gaps and ensure tight and reliable stacking; after the extrusion action is completed, the system sends a signal to trigger the reduction motor 802, driving the helical gear 803 to rotate, which drives the transverse component 1, stacking platform 2, and stacking component 3 to move laterally to the other end, entering the working range of the unloading robot; after moving into position, the slotted photoelectric switch detects and confirms the position and stops the movement; the unloading robot then grabs the stacked module; after the module is removed, the reduction motor 802 is activated again, and the helical gear 803 resets the transverse component 1, stacking platform 2, and stacking component 3 to the initial receiving position, thus completing a complete module stacking cycle.
