Stacking machine
Technical Field
The invention relates to a stacking device, in particular to a stacker crane.
Background
A palletizer is a device for gripping and stacking boxes. The existing stacker crane comprises a manipulator, wherein a clamp is arranged on the manipulator, when the stacker crane is used, the clamp is moved to the position close to a box through the manipulator, and then the object is clamped by the clamp and stacked at a specific position. The case is before by the centre gripping, the case is generally directly put subaerial or stack on other cases, the bottom of case is with the up end laminating of ground or other cases, when centre gripping is carried out to the case, the bottom of case can't be held to the arm lock on the anchor clamps, the both sides of tight case of arm lock clamp on only can passing through the anchor clamps, the case is grabbed through the frictional force between arm lock and the case both sides, anchor clamps are when actually grabbing, in order to guarantee that the case is not dropping at the in-process of grabbing, the arm lock can apply great clamp force in order to guarantee sufficient frictional force to the case side, prevent that the case from dropping, lead to the case to be crushed easily like this.
Such as: the invention discloses a Chinese patent publication No. CN108639776A, and discloses a palletizing robot elastic clamp, which comprises a support plate connected with a mechanical arm, hydraulic cylinders positioned on two sides of the support plate and clamping plates positioned on two sides of the support plate, wherein the fixed ends of the hydraulic cylinders are hinged with the support plate, the movable ends of the hydraulic cylinders are hinged with the upper ends of the clamping plates, two sides of the bottom of the support plate are both connected with a plurality of horizontally arranged servo hydraulic cylinders, the middle parts of the clamping plates are hinged with one ends of the servo hydraulic cylinders, and the inner sides of the clamping plates are both connected with a mixed elastic plate; the mixed elastic plate comprises a rubber side plate, and a plurality of directional elastic mechanisms are arranged between the rubber side plate and the clamping plate. When the box is grabbed by the clamp, the clamp plates are utilized to clamp the two sides of the box, the box is grabbed through friction force between the clamp plates and the two sides of the box, the bottom of the box can not be supported by the clamp, the clamp plates can apply large clamping force to the side face of the box to guarantee enough friction force when actually grabbing the box so as to ensure that the box does not fall off in the grabbing process, and the box is prevented from falling, so that the box is easily crushed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problem that when an existing stacker crane grabs a box, as the bottom of the box is attached to the ground or the upper end surfaces of other boxes, when the box is clamped, clamping arms on a clamp cannot support the bottom of the box, only the two sides of the box can be clamped by the clamping arms on the clamp, the box is grabbed by the friction force between the clamping arms and the two sides of the box, and the clamping arms can apply larger pressing force to the side surfaces of the box to ensure enough friction force and prevent the box from falling off, so that the box is easily crushed, and the stacker crane can effectively solve the problem.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme: a stacker crane comprises a manipulator, wherein a clamp is connected to the manipulator, the clamp comprises a connecting plate and overturning clamping arms rotatably connected to two sides of the connecting plate, and an overturning driving device used for driving the overturning clamping arms to overturn is arranged between the connecting plate and the overturning clamping arms; a sliding groove is formed in the overturning clamping arm, a contact block is connected in the sliding groove in a sliding manner, and a push rod is arranged on the contact block; the lower end of the overturning clamping arm is provided with a sliding cavity, a telescopic block is connected in the sliding cavity in a sliding manner, a first guide inclined plane is arranged on the telescopic block, and a second guide inclined plane matched with the first guide inclined plane is arranged at one end, close to the telescopic block, of the push rod; a first reset spring is arranged between the contact block and one end of the sliding groove, and a second reset spring is arranged between the telescopic block and one end of the sliding cavity.
In the invention, before the clamp is used for grabbing, the front end of the telescopic block does not extend out of the sliding cavity, when the clamp grabs the box, the two sides of the box are clamped by the overturning clamping arms, when the box is clamped by the overturning clamping arms, the contact block is tightly pressed with the side surface of the box, the bottom of the box is positioned above the telescopic block, then the box is lifted upwards by the mechanical arm, in the process that the box is lifted upwards and leaves the ground, the contact block is driven to move downwards under the action of the gravity of the box, when the contact block moves downwards, the push rod is driven to move downwards, when the push rod moves downwards, the telescopic block moves towards one side of the box under the action of the first guide inclined surface and the second guide inclined surface, so that the front end of the telescopic block extends out of the sliding cavity, the bottom of the box can be supported by the telescopic block, thus, the overturning clamping arms do not need to exert too large pressing force on the side surface of the box, and under the combined action of the telescopic block and the contact block, can grasp the case reliably, avoid the case to drop at the in-process of snatching, also avoided leading to the case to be crushed because of the clamp force of arm lock is too big simultaneously. When the box is stacked at a designated position, the turnover clamping arm turns outwards and loosens the box, and the contact block and the telescopic block reset under the action of the first return spring and the second return spring.
Preferably, the overturning driving device is an overturning driving hydraulic cylinder, one end of the overturning driving hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and the other end of the overturning driving hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the overturning clamping arm.
Preferably, the overturning driving device is an electric push rod, one end of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and the other end of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the overturning clamping arm.
Preferably, the sliding groove is provided with a guide rod, the contact block is provided with a guide hole, and the guide rod penetrates through the guide hole. The contact block slides axially along the guide bar.
Preferably, the first guide slope and the second guide slope are parallel.
Preferably, a cushion layer is arranged on one side of the contact block close to the clamped object. The bed course can make contact piece and case side laminate better, increases the frictional force between the two.
Preferably, the cushion layer is made of rubber.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: in the invention, the bottom of the box can be supported by the telescopic block in the lifting process of the box, so that the box can be reliably grasped under the combined action of the telescopic block and the contact block without applying too large pressing force to the side surface of the box by the turnover clamping arm, and the box is prevented from being crushed due to too large clamping force of the turnover clamping arm.
