[0052] In order to illustrate the technical solution described in this application, the following is a detailed description with reference to specific drawings and embodiments.

[0053] 1 to 6 , an embodiment of the present invention provides an automated material loading system, which includes: an outbound conveyor line 1 and a first conveyor line. The outbound conveyor line 1 is connected to the warehouse to be able to output the material stacks in the warehouse. The material stacks here particularly refer to box materials 6 placed on metal pallets (such as iron pallets), and can also be other suitable material stack forms;

[0054] The pallet dismantling device 2 can extract the materials from the material stack on the outbound conveyor line 1 layer by layer and place them on the first conveyor line;

[0055] The material reversing drive device 100 is provided on the first conveying line and can selectively drive the material on the first conveying line to rotate and reverse;

[0056] The material forming component 200 is provided at the end of the conveying direction of the first conveying line, and is used to form a plurality of materials on the first conveying line into a material group in a predetermined quantity;

[0057] The second conveyor line 3 and the first material support distributing device 400 provided on the second conveyor line 3 , the first material support distributing device 400 is used to distribute the first material support 7 onto the second conveyor line 3 ;

[0058] The palletizing device 4 is used to extract the formed material groups on the first conveyor line and stack them in a predetermined number of layers (sufficient for loading, such as 2 layers, 3 layers, 4 layers or more layers) onto the first material support 7 on the second conveyor line 3 to form a material stack on the first material support 7;

[0059] The third conveyor line 5 and the automatic loader arranged on the third conveyor line 5, the third conveyor line 5 is used to receive the material stack loaded with the first material support 7 on the second conveyor line 3, the automatic loader is docked with the vehicle to be loaded 11 to transport the material stack with the first material support 7 received on the third conveyor line 5 to the vehicle to be loaded 11, the second conveyor line 3 and the third conveyor line 5 can adopt structures such as roller conveyors.

[0060] Since the automated material loading system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes an outbound conveyor line 1, a first conveyor line, a pallet disassembly device 2, a material reversing drive device 100, a material forming component 200, a second conveyor line 3, a first material support member distribution device 400, a stacking device 4, a third conveyor line 5 and an automatic loader, the materials output from the warehouse can be completed through these devices (components) to complete operations such as material disassembly, reversal, and forming, and finally the material stack with the first material support member 7 received on the third conveyor line 5 is transported to the vehicle to be loaded 11 through the automatic loader. By controlling the operation of these devices (components), the process of outbound delivery and loading of materials (including pallet boxes) can be automatically completed, eliminating unnecessary manual labor and labor costs, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of outbound delivery and loading of materials, and facilitating the unmanned and automated material loading process, which is particularly suitable for occasions where the box material is very heavy.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pallet dismantling device 2 and the palletizing device 4 are both robots with suction cup devices 14, that is, the materials are extracted by suction, but the pallet dismantling device 2 and the palletizing device 4 are not limited to this embodiment, and other suitable clamping, grasping and other mechanisms besides the suction cup device 14 can also be used.

[0062] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first conveyor line includes a side roller conveyor 300 and a horizontal roller conveyor 10 that are connected to each other. The side roller conveyor 300 includes two rows of inclined conveying rollers 301 arranged perpendicular to its conveying direction. The two rows of inclined conveying rollers 301 form a structure with a high middle and low sides, which can separate the box materials 6 on both sides of each layer of box materials 6 extracted by the depalletizing equipment 2 in the material stack to the two sides of the side roller conveyor 300 and continue to be conveyed forward to the horizontal roller conveyor 10. The horizontal rollers The conveying rollers on the conveyor 10 are arranged horizontally. The pallet disassembling equipment 2 can extract the materials in the material stack on the outbound conveyor line 1 layer by layer to the side roller conveyor 300. The material reversing drive device 100 and the material forming component 200 are arranged on the horizontal roller conveyor 10. The stacking equipment 4 is used to extract the formed material group on the horizontal roller conveyor 10 and stack it in a predetermined number of layers (enough layers for loading, such as 2 layers, 3 layers, 4 layers or more layers) to the first material support 7 on the second conveyor line 3.

[0063] In this embodiment, the side roller conveyor 300 and the horizontal roller conveyor 10 are arranged perpendicular to each other, that is, the conveying direction of the side roller conveyor 300 and the conveying direction of the horizontal roller conveyor 10 are perpendicular to each other. The cleverness of this design is that the two boxes of materials 6 conveyed on both sides of the side roller conveyor 300 arrive at the horizontal roller conveyor 10 at the same time, and continue to be conveyed one after the other along the conveying direction of the horizontal roller conveyor 10, thereby improving the conveying efficiency and the continuity of the conveying process.

[0064] Referring to FIG3 , according to one embodiment of the present invention, the material reversing drive device 100 includes a telescopic drive mechanism 101 and a reversing wheel 102 connected to the telescopic drive mechanism 101. The reversing wheel 102 is preferably rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic drive mechanism 101. The telescopic drive mechanism 101 may be a cylinder, etc. When the telescopic drive mechanism 101 is extended, the reversing wheel 102 can touch the material on the first conveyor line for reversing. When the telescopic drive mechanism 101 is retracted, the reversing wheel 102 does not touch the material on the first conveyor line. The material box 6 is controlled to turn or not turn by controlling the extension and retraction of the roller. When the roller is extended, one end of the material box 6 is blocked, and the other end continues to move forward and continues to move forward after rotating 90 degrees. Depending on the stacking shape of the material box 6, some material boxes 6 need to be rotated 90 degrees before being reshaped, which is completed by the reversing device of the material box 6. After the reversing process, the material boxes 6 are all conveyed in a specific direction, and the label surface is turned to the recognition surface direction of the label scanning device 12 mentioned later.

[0065] Referring to Figure 4, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the automated material loading system includes a label scanning device 12 and an automatic stretch film packaging device 13. The label scanning device 12 and the automatic stretch film packaging device 13 adopt known equipment. The function of the label scanning device 12 has been described above. The automatic stretch film packaging device 13 can automatically perform stretch film packaging on the materials on the second conveyor line 3. The label scanning device 12 is arranged on the first conveyor line and is located behind the operating station of the material reversing drive device 100 along the conveying direction of the first conveyor line. The automatic stretch film packaging device 13 is arranged on the second conveyor line 3 and is located behind the operating station of the palletizing equipment 4 along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 3.

[0066] Referring to Figure 4, as a specific embodiment, the material assembly component 200 includes a lateral pushing mechanism capable of pushing the material in the horizontal direction. The lateral pushing mechanism can adopt a known telescopic driving mechanism 101 such as a cylinder or an electric push rod to drive the push plate 201 to push the material. A specific example of an assembly is: according to the size of the box material 6, the box material 6 is sorted into a specific number (for example, 4 boxes) each time it is stacked, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first material support 7 is a wooden part, such as a wooden pallet, and the material stack in the warehouse is placed on the second material support 8, and the second material support 8 is a metal part, such as an iron pallet. A major feature of the present application is that the iron pallet material can be replaced with a wooden pallet material through the system's conveying process. Of course, it is not limited to replacing the iron pallet material with the wooden pallet material. Any situation of replacing the material with the second material support 8 with the material with the first material support 7 will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention, and there is no restriction on the types of the first material support 7 and the second material support 8.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the automated material loading system includes a support conveyor line 9 for stacking first material supports 7, the support conveyor line 9 is docked with the second conveyor line 3, and the first material support distribution device 400 includes an intercepting beam 401 across the docking point between the second conveyor line 3 and the support conveyor line 9. The intercepting beam 401 can be installed on the distribution device bracket 402. The gap between the intercepting beam 401 and the support conveyor line 9 only allows one first material support 7 to pass through. In this way, when the support conveyor line 9 stacks multiple layers of first material supports 7, only one first material support 7 passes through the intercepting beam 401 to reach the second conveyor line 3 at a time.

[0069] 1 , 6 and 7 , according to one embodiment of the present invention, the automated material loading system includes two first ground rails 15 spaced apart and parallel to each other, forming a loading interval for a vehicle 11 to be loaded. The automatic loader includes a main frame 16, a traveling mechanism 17 arranged on the main frame 16, a lifting mechanism 18, a transverse driving mechanism 19 and a fork-picking mechanism 20. The lifting mechanism 18 is used to drive the fork-picking mechanism 20 to move up and down, and the transverse driving mechanism 19 is used to drive the fork-picking mechanism 20 to move horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the first ground rails 15, and can also be used to provide deviation correction for the automatic loader. The traveling mechanism 17 is arranged on the two first ground rails 15 to drive the main frame 16 to move along the two first ground rails 15, so that the fork-picking mechanism 20 can be located above the vehicle 11 to be loaded in the loading interval.

[0070] Referring to Figures 1, 6 and 7, in this embodiment, specifically, the main frame 16 can be provided with a maintenance ladder 21 to facilitate personnel to climb onto the automatic loader for maintenance. The walking mechanism 17 can be a self-driving wheel or other mechanism provided on the first ground rail 15. A walking mechanism 17 is arranged below each side of the automatic loader. The number of forking mechanisms 20 is 2, specifically an L-shaped fork frame. Each forking mechanism 20 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 18 and a transverse driving mechanism 19. The lifting mechanism 18 includes components such as a motor and a lifting chain. The lifting chain is connected to the corresponding sprocket on the forking mechanism 20 to drive the belt. The fork-taking mechanism 20 can be moved up and down, and the transverse driving mechanism 19 can be any one of a driving cylinder, a driving hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod and an electric guide rail. The lifting mechanism 18 and the fork-taking mechanism 20 can be installed on the sliding frame 24, and the sliding frame 24 can be slidably installed on the main frame 16 and connected to the transverse driving mechanism 19. The transverse driving mechanism 19 can drive the main frame 16 to reciprocate along the horizontal straight line, thereby driving the lifting mechanism 18 and the fork-taking mechanism 20 to reciprocate along the horizontal straight line. The sliding frame 24 can also extend a vertical lifting guide rail downward, and the fork-taking mechanism 20 can be lifted. The material stack is mounted on the vertical lifting guide rail in a sliding manner. A specific loading process of the automatic loader can be that the third conveyor line 5 transports the material stack to the bottom of the automatic loader, and the two fork-picking mechanisms 20 move close to each other through the drive of the corresponding transverse drive mechanism 19 to pick up the material stack first, and the two fork-picking mechanisms 20 are driven to rise synchronously through the corresponding lifting mechanism 18, and the material stack picked up by the fork-picking mechanism 20 also rises accordingly, and the other material stack continues to be transported by the third conveyor line 5 to the bottom of the material stack picked up by the fork-picking mechanism 20, and is driven by the corresponding transverse drive mechanism 19. Driven by, the two fork-picking mechanisms 20 move toward each other to release the material stacks on them and stack them above the material stack below, and then the fork-picking mechanisms 20 are lowered by a similar driving method as before, and move close to each other to fork the two stacked material stacks, and then lift them to a certain height, and the walking mechanism 17 drives the automatic loader to run to the cargo part of the vehicle 11 to be loaded in the loading area (such as the cargo flatbed of a flatbed truck), and the fork-picking mechanism 20 releases the material, thereby completing the loading of a group of material stacks, and this can be repeated to fill the entire vehicle. Of course, the number of material stacks loaded each time is not limited to this.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the automated material loading system also includes a movable conveyor roller machine 22, which can move back and forth between the end of the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 3 and the beginning of the conveying direction of the third conveyor line 5. Specifically, self-driving wheels and other mechanisms can also be installed under the movable conveyor roller machine 22, and are arranged on the second ground rail 23 between the end of the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 3 and the beginning of the conveying direction of the third conveyor line 5.

[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the automated material loading system includes a visual correction system, which is used to identify the size and position information of the vehicle 11 to be loaded, so that the walking mechanism 17, the lifting mechanism 18, and the lateral drive mechanism 19 can control the position of the automatic loader relative to the vehicle 11 to be loaded based on the size and position information identified by the visual correction system, thereby achieving precise loading and facilitating the correction of the position of the automatic loader relative to the vehicle 11 to be loaded. In addition, the automated material loading system may also include a vehicle blocking component for limiting the position of the vehicle 11 to be loaded.

[0073] In this embodiment, specifically, the visual correction system may include a laser vision device arranged on the automatic loader, and the laser vision device includes a laser vision device that can move along the width direction of the vehicle 11 to be loaded. Taking the vehicle 11 to be loaded as a flatbed truck as an example, it is necessary to ensure that the positions of the flatbed truck and the automatic loader are parallel. Specifically, after the flatbed truck is parked within the parking area according to the guide line, there may be directional deviations and left and right displacement deviations in the center plane of the flatbed truck edge and the center plane of the loading parts (including two fork-picking mechanisms 20, etc.). When the automatic loader moves to the rear and front positions of the vehicle, the laser vision device will move the sensor to detect the width of the vehicle and the distribution of the edge of the vehicle. The control center of the system calculates the center plane difference between the flatbed truck and the automatic loader based on the collected data, and then calculates the displacement that needs to be offset. Then the transverse drive mechanism 19 on the automatic loader will move the corresponding displacement during palletizing, so that the center plane of the flatbed truck and the plane of the loaded parts coincide with each other, ensuring the neatness and stability of the subsequent palletized loading stacks. In addition, a walking correction component can be set for the automatic loader to enable the loaded parts to move in a direction parallel to the flatbed truck and correct the deviation in a direction perpendicular to the flatbed truck, and finally make the center plane of the loaded parts coincide with the center plane of the flatbed truck.

[0074] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
