Detailed Description

The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the following figures and specific examples so that those skilled in the art may better understand the present invention and practice it, but the examples are not intended to limit the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the overall structure of the vertical rod stacking device is schematically shown. The stacking device comprises a material rack 10, wherein a pair of supporting seats 20 is arranged on the material rack 10, two ends of a vertical rod are respectively overlapped on the supporting seats 20, and the two supporting seats 20 ensure the stability of the vertical rod support. The supporting seat 20 top is provided with along the baffle 21 of material direction of delivery downward sloping, and conveying element carries adjacent pole setting phase error on the supporting seat 20, because the slope direction of baffle 21 need not to set up power drive, and the pole setting can roll to the discharge end of supporting seat 20. In order to increase the application range of the supporting seat 20 in this embodiment, the rack 10 is provided with a linear slide rail 11 perpendicular to the supporting seat 20, and the two supporting seats 20 slide along the linear slide rail 11 to be close to or far away from each other. The middle part and the discharge end of supporting seat 20 are provided with respectively and are higher than first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 of baffle 21, and along with the roll of pole setting, the pole setting is blockked by first baffle 22, can't continue downstream to form the buffer memory district between supporting seat 20 feed end and first baffle 22 to the pole setting of the continuous inflow of buffer memory prevents to transfer the continuous inflow of in-process pole setting at the pole setting, causes the pole setting to pile up. In order to arrange the vertical rods in order to facilitate stacking, a material pushing assembly 30 is arranged on the side face of the supporting seat 20 corresponding to the first baffle 22, and the material pushing assembly 30 pushes one vertical rod in the cache region to a position between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 at a time until the number of the vertical rods between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 reaches a set value. Because the vertical rods are not limited in the axial direction when being conveyed on the supporting seats 20, in order to enable the vertical rods to be arranged regularly, an aligning component 40 is installed on the side face of at least one supporting seat 20, and the aligning component 40 is located between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 and is used for shaping the vertical rods between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23. Because the pole in the pole setting is put on baffle 21, the disc of fixing on the pole is the wrong setting mutually, therefore the pole setting tip can not be flushed, in order to guarantee the neatness of pole setting, adopts alignment subassembly 40 and supporting seat 20 cooperation to press from both sides tight disc from both sides in this embodiment to the disc of overlap is as the reference surface, realizes the plastic to the pole setting. Specifically, the alignment assembly 40 includes a pressing plate 41 and a pressing cylinder 42, the pressing cylinder 42 pushes the pressing plate 41 toward the support seat 20, and the height of the pressing plate 41 is not higher than the guide plate 21. So that the blade 41 only contacts the disc and the lower portion of the disc is clamped between the blade 41 and the support base 20, completing the alignment operation. A plurality of upright posts are arranged orderly, and then the upright posts arranged orderly are taken down simultaneously by using devices such as mechanical arms and the like and stacked on a pallet to complete stacking.

Referring to fig. 3, since the pressing plate 41 is pushed from a direction away from the supporting seat 20 to a position of the supporting seat 20, in order to facilitate installation of the alignment assembly 40, the alignment assembly 40 is fixed on a side surface of the supporting seat 20 through an installation seat 43, the pressing cylinder 42 is installed at one end of the installation seat 43 away from the supporting seat 20, a pressing guide 44 is arranged on the installation seat 43, and the pressing plate 41 is slidably connected with the pressing guide 44. Therefore, enough space exists between the pressure plate 41 and the supporting seat 20, and the disc on the misaligned front upright rod can pass through the space between the pressure plate 41 and the supporting seat 20. In the present embodiment, in order to ensure contact between the pressure plate 41 and the disk, the pressure plate 41 is disposed at the same height as the guide plate 21, and the upper surface of the pressure plate 41 is inclined in the same direction as the guide plate 21. Therefore, the pressure plate 41 can be attached to the joint of the disc and the round rod to compress the disc, namely the contact area between the pressure plate and the disc is large, and the disc is guaranteed to be compressed.

Referring to fig. 4, a pusher assembly 30 according to the present invention is shown. The material pushing assembly 30 comprises a material pushing cylinder 31, a material pushing plate 32 and a material pushing block 33, the material pushing block 33 is a wedge-shaped block with the top inclined downwards along the conveying direction, the material pushing block 33 is installed at the top of the material pushing plate 32, and the material pushing cylinder 31 pushes the material pushing plate 32 to lift. The pushing assembly 30 is arranged at a position corresponding to the first baffle 22, so that an upright post is cached in front of the first baffle 22, and the pushing assembly 30 just jacks up an upright post closest to the first baffle 22. In operation, the material pushing cylinder 31 pushes the material pushing plate 32 and the material pushing block 33 upwards, the vertical rod above the material pushing block 33 is pushed up by the material pushing block 33, and due to the inclined surface of the material pushing block 33, the vertical rod rolls down along the inclined surface of the material pushing block 33, enters the area between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23, and rolls down to the discharging end of the supporting seat 20 again due to the inclined guidance of the guide plate 21. After the pushing assembly 30 pushes out one vertical rod, the pushing cylinder 31 is reset, one vertical rod moves to the position above the pushing block 33 again, and the pushing assembly 30 repeats actions to push out the vertical rod until the space between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 is full of materials. Further, in order to ensure the position stability of the material pushing plate 32 when being pushed out, a material pushing guide rail 34 is installed on the side surface of the supporting seat 20, and the material pushing plate 32 is connected with the material pushing guide rail 34 in a sliding manner through a sliding block 35. The pushing guide rail 34 guides and limits the movement of the pushing plate 32, so that the pushing plate 32 is not inclined even if the weight of the vertical rod above the pushing block 33 is heavy.

Referring to fig. 5, since the top of the guide plate 21 is inclined, the vertical rod moving between the first and second blocking plates 22 and 23 is not on the horizontal plane after being aligned, but inclined at the same angle with the guide plate 21, and in order to pick up the vertical rod, a stacker lifting assembly 50 is installed on the side of the support base 20 between the first and second blocking plates 22 and 23 in this embodiment. To prevent interference with the pushing assembly 30, the stacking jacking assembly 50 and the aligning assembly 40 are located on both sides of the supporting seat 20. The stacking jacking assembly 50 comprises a jacking cylinder 51 and a jacking plate 52, and the top of the jacking plate 52 is a horizontal plane. When the jacking cylinder 51 pushes the jacking plate 52 upwards, the jacking plate 52 contacts with the upright rods above, and the top surfaces of the jacking plates 52 are horizontal, so that the upright rods are jacked to the same height together, and the picking up is convenient. In order to prevent the lifting plate 52 from lifting the vertical rod, the vertical rod rolls on the lifting plate 52 to cause the position of the vertical rod to be inaccurate, and a plurality of tooth grooves 53 are arranged at the top of the lifting plate 52. The lifting plate 52 lifts the vertical rod and the vertical rod is positioned in the tooth groove 53, so that the vertical rod cannot roll randomly, and the position of the vertical rod is ensured.

The invention also discloses a vertical rod stacking method, and the vertical rod stacking device comprises the following steps:

the vertical rods are conveyed to the supporting seat 20 in a staggered manner, so that the disks at the same positions on the vertical rods are positioned at the same side of the supporting seat 20;

the pushing assembly 30 pushes the vertical rods blocked by the first baffle 22 to a position between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23;

the pushing assembly 30 repeatedly acts to push even number of upright rods to a position between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23;

the aligning component 40 pushes the disc on the vertical rod, and after the disc is clamped between the material pressing plate 41 and the supporting seat 20, the material pressing cylinder 42 is reset;

the material taking assembly 60 picks up the vertical rods between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 to stack and complete the stacking.

Referring to fig. 6, in operation, the first vertical rod is pushed to the supporting seat 20 by the conveying device, so that the round rod on the vertical rod is located between the pressure plate 41 and the supporting seat 20, when the conveying device conveys the second vertical rod, the second vertical rod is moved by a distance more than the first vertical rod along the axial direction of the vertical rod, and then the second vertical rod is pushed to the supporting seat 20, the disk on the second vertical rod is also located between the supporting seat 20 and the pressure plate 41, that is, the disks at the same position on the vertical rods are located on the same side of the supporting seat 20, so that the disks on the adjacent vertical rods are staggered, the conveying device outputs the third vertical rod at the same position as the first vertical rod, and the fourth vertical rod is output at the same position as the second vertical rod, so that the staggered disks occupy the least space, and the vertical rods are neatly stacked.

After the vertical rods are conveyed, the vertical rods are blocked by the first baffle 22 and gather in the buffer area, the material pushing cylinder 31 in the material pushing assembly 30 pushes the material pushing plate 32 upwards, the material pushing block 33 on the top of the material pushing plate 32 contacts the vertical rods, and the vertical rods roll to the position between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 along the inclined plane due to the inclined surface of the material pushing block 33.

The pushing assembly 30 pushes a plurality of vertical rods between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23, so that the number of the vertical rods between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 is determined, and the vertical rods cannot be mutually extruded to form stack due to the small number of the vertical rods between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23, and the vertical rods are ensured to be arranged neatly between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23; in the invention, as the disks on the vertical rods are arranged in a staggered manner, in order to ensure that the vertical rods for shaping between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 are arranged consistently each time, the pushing assembly 30 pushes an even number of vertical rods.

In order to detect the material taking of the buffer area and judge whether the space between the first baffle plate 22 and the second baffle plate 23 is full of material, proximity switches are arranged at the feeding end of the supporting seat 20 and at two sides of the first baffle plate 22. When both proximity switches between the feed end and the first baffle 22 are triggered, the buffer zone is full, and if the proximity switch between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 is triggered, the zone is full.

After the space between the first baffle 22 and the second baffle 23 is filled with the materials, the pressing cylinder 42 in the aligning assembly 40 acts to press the disc on the upright rod between the pressing plate and the supporting seat 20. The disc is used as a reference surface to shape the vertical rods, so that the vertical rods are arranged neatly. The swage cylinder 42 is then reset and the platen releases the disc so that the uprights can be removed.

In order to conveniently take the vertical rod of the material taking component 60, the stacking jacking component 50 is arranged on the supporting seat 20, and before the material taking component 60 is matched with the vertical rod, the stacking jacking component 50 jacks the vertical rod to the same height, so that the material taking component 60 can be contacted with all the vertical rods without angle adjustment. The picking assembly 60 picks up the uprights between the first 22 and second 23 baffles and, since the uprights are arranged in order, the picking assembly 60 is only required to stack the uprights together to complete the palletization.

Referring to fig. 7, since the upright rod has a long length, the material taking assembly 60 in this embodiment includes at least two sets of suction cup mechanisms 61, and the suction cup mechanisms 61 are uniformly installed on the connection column 63 through the suction cup installation plates 62, so that the upright rod does not generate displacement relative to the material taking assembly 60 in the process of taking and placing the upright rod. Specifically, every group sucking disc mechanism 61 includes a plurality of electromagnet 64, electromagnet 64 installs on sucking disc fixed plate 65, sucking disc fixed plate 65 with link to each other through guide bar 66 between the sucking disc mounting panel 62, the cover is equipped with buffer spring 67 on the guide bar 66. Spliced pole 63 and arm or other move and carry the module and link to each other, drive a plurality of sucking disc mechanisms 61 and remove to the pole setting top of arranging, spliced pole 63 pushes down, and electromagnet 64 adsorbs the pole setting, because buffer spring 67's setting, guarantees that a plurality of electromagnet 64 homoenergetic contact and adsorb the pole setting, realizes shifting and stacking to the pole setting, accomplishes the pole setting stack.
