Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automation technology, and specifically relates to a pallet feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when it is necessary to remove materials from pallets and stack the pallets after removal, the operation is usually done manually, which results in low work efficiency and increased labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the primary objective of this invention is to provide a pallet feeding device to solve the technical issues described above.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides a pallet feeding device, in which multiple loaded pallets are stacked to form a pallet tower, including:

[0006] A pallet mechanism is used to place the pallets near the bottom of the pallet tower onto the transport mechanism;

[0007] The material handling platform is used to collect materials from the loading trays.

[0008] The receiving mechanism is used to stack the pallets after material has been retrieved.

[0009] The transport mechanism is located below the dial mechanism, the picking platform, and the receiving mechanism. It is used to transport the pallets that are pushed off by the dial mechanism to the picking platform and the pallets on the picking platform to the receiving mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the pallet feeding device further includes a base, and the dial mechanism, the picking platform, the receiving mechanism and the transport mechanism are mounted on the base.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: the pallet-dispensing mechanism can automatically dispense pallets from below the pallet tower, the transport mechanism transports the dispensed pallets to the material-collecting platform, the material-collecting platform collects the materials from the loaded pallets, the transport mechanism transports the pallets from the material-collecting platform to the receiving mechanism, and the receiving mechanism automatically stacks the retrieved pallets. This eliminates the need for manual removal of the loaded pallets from the pallet tower, manual removal of the materials, and manual stacking of the retrieved pallets, greatly improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0012] Furthermore, the dial mechanism includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall, with a first accommodating space formed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The first accommodating space is used to accommodate the tray tower. A first plug-in assembly is provided on the first sidewall near the transport mechanism, and a second plug-in assembly is provided on the second sidewall near the transport mechanism. The first plug-in assembly and the second plug-in assembly are arranged opposite to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the first plug-in assembly includes a first support member, a first drive member, a first guide rail assembly, and a first plug-in. The first side of the first support member is connected to a first sidewall, and the second side of the first support member is connected to the first plug-in through the first guide rail assembly. The first drive member is disposed on the first support member and is connected to the first guide rail assembly. The first drive member is used to drive the first guide rail assembly to extend and retract, thereby driving the extension and retraction of the first plug-in.

[0014] The second insert assembly includes a second support member, a second drive member, a second guide rail assembly, and a second insert. The first side of the second support member is connected to the second sidewall, and the second side of the second support member is connected to the insert via the second guide rail assembly. The second drive member is disposed on the second support member and is connected to the second guide rail assembly. The second drive member is used to drive the second guide rail assembly to extend and retract, thereby driving the extension and retraction of the second insert.

[0015] Furthermore, the first plug-in assembly also includes a first lever and a first telescopic member, the first telescopic member being disposed on the first support member, and the telescopic shaft of the first telescopic member passing through the first plug-in and connecting to the first lever;

[0016] The second plug-in assembly also includes a second lever and a second telescopic member. The second telescopic member is disposed on the second support member, and the telescopic shaft of the second telescopic member passes through the second plug-in and connects to the second lever.

[0017] Furthermore, a first receiving space is formed on the inner surface of the first sidewall, and a first plug-in assembly is disposed in the first receiving space. A first through hole is opened on the side of the first sidewall near the second sidewall, and the first plug-in and the first lever pass through the first through hole. A second receiving space is formed on the inner surface of the second sidewall, and a second plug-in assembly is disposed in the second receiving space. A second through hole is opened on the side of the second sidewall near the first sidewall, and the second plug-in and the second lever pass through the second through hole.

[0018] Furthermore, the dial mechanism also includes a first support component, which is located below the first insertion component and the second insertion component;

[0019] The first support assembly includes a first support member and a third telescopic member connected to the first support member, with the first support member positioned on both sides of the transport mechanism.

[0020] In a work scenario, the transport mechanism moves below the dial mechanism, with the first support abutting the bottom of the pallet tower. A third telescopic member moves the first support downward, aligning the two ends of the second pallet on the pallet tower with the first and second inserts, respectively. A first drive member moves the first insert and the first lever closer to the second pallet, while a second drive member moves the second insert and the second lever closer to the second pallet, so that the first insert and the first lever abut one end of the second pallet, and the second insert and the second lever abut the other end. The first telescopic member moves the first lever downward, and the second telescopic member moves the second lever downward, causing the pallet at the bottom of the pallet tower to detach from the pallet tower. The third telescopic member moves the first support downward, placing the pallet at the bottom of the pallet tower onto the transport mechanism.

[0021] Furthermore, the receiving mechanism includes a third sidewall, and a second accommodating space is formed between the third sidewall and the second sidewall. The second accommodating space is used to accommodate the pallet after material is picked up. Preferably, the pallets after material are picked up are accommodated in the second accommodating space in a stacked manner.

[0022] The receiving mechanism also includes a first one-way support and a second one-way support. The first one-way support is disposed on the third side wall, and the second one-way support is disposed on the second side wall. The first one-way support and the second one-way support are disposed opposite to each other.

[0023] Furthermore, the receiving mechanism also includes a first movable member and a second movable member. A third through hole is provided in the third side wall, and a fourth through hole is provided in the second side wall. The first movable member is disposed on the inner surface of the third side wall, corresponding to the third through hole. The second movable member is disposed on the inner surface of the second side wall, corresponding to the fourth through hole.

[0024] The first unidirectional support is movably connected to the first movable member, and the first unidirectional support passes through the third through hole; the second unidirectional support is movably connected to the second movable member, and the second unidirectional support passes through the fourth through hole.

[0025] The first and second one-way support members can only rotate back and forth along the upper horizontal plane. When the first and second one-way support members swing upwards, the first one-way support member rotates into the third through hole, and the second one-way support member rotates into the fourth through hole. Preferably, the first one-way support member has a first inclined surface, and the second one-way support member has a second inclined surface, so as to facilitate the rotation of the first one-way support member into the third through hole and the rotation of the second one-way support member into the fourth through hole.

[0026] Furthermore, the receiving mechanism also includes a second support assembly, which is located below the first one-way support member and the second one-way support member;

[0027] The second support assembly includes a second support member and a fourth telescopic member connected to the second support member, with the second support member positioned on both sides of the transport mechanism.

[0028] In a work scenario, the transport mechanism moves the pallet after material pickup to below the receiving mechanism. The fourth telescopic component moves the second support component upwards, abutting against the pickup pallet and causing it to move further upwards. The pickup pallet then abuts against the first and second one-way supports, which rotate into the third and fourth through holes, respectively. After the pickup pallet rises above the third and fourth through holes, the first and second one-way supports rotate downwards to a horizontal plane. The second support component then moves downwards, bringing the first and second one-way supports into contact with the pickup pallet.

[0029] Furthermore, the transport mechanism includes a transport seat and a slide rail assembly, with the transport seat movably connected to the slide rail assembly. The transport seat is used to transport pallets. The slide rail assembly is used to drive the transport seat to reciprocate between the dial mechanism, the receiving mechanism, and the picking platform.

[0030] Furthermore, the picking platform includes extrusion elastic elements, which are disposed on both sides of the picking platform. In a working scenario, when the transport seat moves the pallet to the picking platform, the pallet comes into contact with the extrusion elastic elements, and the extrusion elastic elements contract to embed the pallet into the picking platform, preventing the pallet from shaking on the picking platform.

[0031] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The pallet-dispensing mechanism can automatically dispense pallets from below the pallet tower. The transport mechanism then transports the dispensed pallets to the picking platform, where the picking platform collects the materials from the loaded pallets. The transport mechanism then transports the pallets from the picking platform to the receiving mechanism, which automatically stacks the retrieved pallets. This eliminates the need for manual removal of the loaded pallets from the pallet tower, manual removal of the materials, and manual stacking of the retrieved pallets, significantly improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.

The second telescopic member 66 is disposed on the second support member 61, and the telescopic shaft 661 of the second telescopic member passes through the second plug-in 64 and connects to the second lever 65.

[0055] In this embodiment, a first receiving space 111 is formed on the inner surface of the first sidewall 11, and the first plug-in assembly 5 is disposed in the first receiving space 101. A first through hole 113 is opened on the side of the first sidewall 11 near the second sidewall 12, and the first plug-in 54 and the first lever 55 pass through the first through hole 113.

[0057] The first support assembly 13 includes a first support member 131 and a third telescopic member 132 connected to the first support member 131. The first support member 131 is disposed on both sides of the transport mechanism 4.

[0058] In one working scenario, the transport mechanism 4 moves below the dial mechanism 1, with the first support 131 abutting against the bottom of the pallet tower. The third telescopic member 132 drives the first support 131 downward, so that the two ends of the second pallet from bottom to top of the pallet tower correspond to the first insert 54 and the second insert 64, respectively. The first drive member 52 drives the first insert 54 and the first lever 55 to move closer to the second pallet, and the second drive member 62 drives the second insert 64 and the second lever 65 to move closer to the second pallet, so that the first insert 54 and the first lever 55 abut against one end of the second pallet, and the second insert 64 and the second lever 65 abut against the other end of the second pallet. The first telescopic member 56 drives the first lever 55 downward, and the second telescopic member 66 drives the second lever 65 downward, so that the pallet at the bottom of the pallet tower is detached from the pallet tower; the third telescopic member 132 drives the first support 131 downward, so that the pallet at the bottom of the pallet tower is placed on the transport mechanism 4.

[0059] In this embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 includes a third sidewall 33, and a second accommodating space 102 is formed between the third sidewall 33 and the second sidewall 12. The second accommodating space 102 is used to accommodate the tray after material is picked up. Preferably, the tray after material is picked up is accommodated in the second accommodating space 102 in a stacked manner.

[0060] The receiving mechanism 3 also includes a first one-way support 31 and a second one-way support 32. The first one-way support 31 is disposed on the third side wall 33, and the second one-way support 32 is disposed on the second side wall 12. The first one-way support 31 and the second one-way support 32 are disposed opposite to each other.

A third through hole 331 is provided on the third sidewall 33, and a fourth through hole 124 is provided on the second sidewall 12. The first movable member 34 is disposed on the inner surface of the third sidewall 33, corresponding to the third through hole 331. The second movable member 35 is disposed on the inner surface of the second sidewall 12, corresponding to the fourth through hole 124.

[0063] The first one-way support 31 and the second one-way support 32 can only rotate back and forth along the upper horizontal plane. When the first one-way support 31 and the second one-way support 32 swing upward, the first one-way support 31 rotates into the third through hole 331, and the second one-way support 32 rotates into the fourth through hole 124. Preferably, the first one-way support 31 has a first inclined surface, and the second one-way support 32 has a second inclined surface, so that the first one-way support 31 can rotate into the third through hole 331, and the second one-way support 32 can rotate into the fourth through hole 124.

[0064] In this embodiment, the receiving mechanism 3 further includes a second support component 36, which is located below the first one-way support member 31 and the second one-way support member 32.

[0066] In a work scenario, the transport mechanism 4 moves the pallet after material retrieval to below the receiving mechanism 3. The fourth telescopic member 361 moves the second support member 362 upward. After the second support member 362 abuts against the pallet after material retrieval, it moves the pallet upward again, abutting against the first one-way support member 31 and the second one-way support member 32. The first one-way support member 31 and the second one-way support member 32 rotate into the third through hole 331 and the fourth through hole 124, respectively. After the pallet after material retrieval rises above the third through hole 331 and the fourth through hole 124, the first one-way support member 31 and the second one-way support member 32 rotate downward to the horizontal plane. The second support member 362 moves downward, causing the first one-way support member 31 and the second one-way support member 32 to abut against the pallet after material retrieval.

[0067] In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 4 includes a transport seat 41 and a slide rail assembly 42, with the transport seat 41 movably connected to the slide rail assembly 42. The transport seat 41 is used to transport a pallet. The slide rail assembly 42 is used to drive the transport seat 41 to reciprocate between the dial mechanism 1, the receiving mechanism 3, and the picking platform 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, the material handling platform 2 includes a compression elastic element 21, which is disposed on both sides of the material handling platform 2. In a working scenario, when the transport seat 41 moves the pallet onto the material handling platform 2, the pallet abuts against the compression elastic element 21, and the compression elastic element 21 contracts to embed the pallet onto the material handling platform 2, preventing the pallet from shaking on the material handling platform 2.

[0069] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
