Referring to fig. 1 to 7, the following illustrate several embodiments of the automatic shingle mechanism and automatic shingle apparatus of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the embodiment of the application provides an automatic tile stacking mechanism 200, and the automatic tile stacking mechanism 200 can realize automatic tile stacking operation, well replace the traditional manual tile stacking mode, greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers and the labor cost of tile manufacturers, simultaneously perform feeding and discharging of tiles 300, continuously perform stacking of tiles 300, match the speed of a manufacturing production line of the tiles 300, and finally greatly improve the production efficiency of the tiles 300.

The automatic tile stacking mechanism 200 has an up-down direction, a first direction and a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the up-down direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the up-down direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In the present embodiment, the first direction is assumed to be the left-right direction, and the second direction is assumed to be the front-rear direction.

The automatic shingle mechanism 200 includes a frame 210, a chain sprocket assembly, and a discharge assembly 250.

The housing 210 functions to provide a mounting location for the chain sprocket assembly and outfeed assembly 250 and to effectively support the chain sprocket assembly and outfeed assembly 250. The shape and structure of the frame 210 are set according to actual conditions, and are not particularly limited herein.

The chain sprocket assemblies are arranged along the up-down direction of the frame 210 in two groups in length, are arranged at certain intervals along the first direction of the frame 210, and are all mounted on the frame 210. In this embodiment, the two sets of chain sprocket assemblies are oppositely disposed in the left-right direction.

Each set of chain sprocket assembly has endless chains 235, and the directions of movement of the two sets of endless chains 235 are opposite, and the two sets of endless chains 235 are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction so that the two sets of endless chains together form a tile passage, and the length direction of the tile passage extends along the up-down direction of the frame 210. The tile passage is provided with a feed opening in the second direction. It will be appreciated that the tile 300 moves in the second direction and enters the tile channel via the feed port.

Moreover, each set of endless chains 235 is provided with tile supports 270, the number of tile supports 270 being a number, the number of tile supports 270 being evenly arranged at regular intervals along the length of the endless chains 235.

It will be appreciated that tile support 270 functions to support tile 300 and raise tile 300 upwardly. The tile support 270 may be a support block or a support wheel, and the support wheel is mounted on the endless chain 235 by a bracket, which is not particularly limited herein. The support wheel is rotatable about a central axis extending back and forth, as shown in fig. 2 and 6. Compared with the belt, the annular chain 235 can bear the gravity of the tile 300 better, is not easy to generate tensile deformation or even fracture in the length direction, and has longer service life.

The number and spacing of the tile supports 270 may be set according to the actual situation and are not particularly limited herein. For tile supports 270 on either side of endless chain 235, when endless chain 235 is moved, tile supports 270 adjacent the tile path will move upward to drive tile 300 upward, and tile supports 270 remote from the tile path will move downward to return to the tile path for tile 300 lifting again.

In this embodiment, the endless chain 235 on the left moves counterclockwise, and the endless chain 235 on the right moves clockwise.

The difference in height between tile supports 270 on opposite sides of tile 300 within the tile path is set based on the difference in height on opposite sides of tile 300, and is not specifically limited herein. As shown in fig. 2 and 6, since the left end of tile 300 is lower than the right end, tile support 270 on the left side of the tile channel will be lower in height than tile support 270 on the right side of the tile channel.

The discharging assembly 250 is mounted on the frame 210, the discharging assembly 250 has a discharging channel, the discharging channel penetrates up and down, the length direction of the discharging channel extends along the up and down direction of the frame 210, the discharging channel is arranged above the tile channel, and the discharging channel and the tile channel are oppositely arranged and are mutually communicated, so that the tile 300 moves up to the discharging channel under the lifting action of the tile supporting member 270.

The opposite side wall surfaces of the discharging channel are provided with elastic supporting members 256, the elastic supporting members 256 are used for supporting the tile 300, the number of the elastic supporting members 256 is multiple, and the elastic supporting members 256 are arranged at certain intervals along the up-down direction of the frame 210.

It will be appreciated that tile 300 will exert a compressive force on resilient support 256 by lifting of tile support 270, causing resilient support 256 to resiliently compress, such that tile 300 can move upwardly over resilient support 256. After the pressing action is removed, the elastic support 256 is restored and the tile 300 on the upper side thereof is supported.

It will be appreciated that in use of the automatic tile stacking mechanism 200 provided in this embodiment, since the two sets of chain sprocket assemblies are spaced apart in the first direction, the endless chains 235 on each set of chain sprocket assemblies are provided with a plurality of tile supports 270, and the two sets of endless chains 235 are capable of moving in opposite directions, when a tile 300 enters the tile channel through the feed opening, the tile supports 270 on opposite sides of the tile 300 are moved upward by the driving action of the endless chains 235, and are capable of providing sufficient support to the tile 300 in the tile channel, and driving the tile 300 to move upward, thereby conveying the tile 300 to the discharge channel.

When the tile 300 enters the position between the tile channel and the discharging channel, the tile 300 continues to move upwards under the driving action of the tile supporting member 270, and a certain squeezing action is applied to the elastic supporting member 256 at the discharging channel, so that a certain compression deformation occurs to the elastic supporting member 256, and the tile 300 can pass over the elastic supporting member 256 upwards. After the tile 300 passes over the elastic supporting member 256, the pressing action is removed, and the elastic supporting member 256 will recover the original shape, and at this time, the elastic supporting member 256 will exert enough supporting action on the tile 300, so as to prevent the tile 300 from falling down, and ensure that the tile 300 is kept in a stable and motionless state in the discharging channel.

Moreover, since a block of tiles 300 is sequentially sent upwards to the discharge channel by the tile support 270, the tile 300 on the lower side will exert a pushing force on the tile 300 on the upper side, so that the tile 300 on the upper side is lifted up and passes over the elastic support 256 on the upper side, and the tile 300 on the lower side will stay at the original position of the tile 300 on the upper side, so on, the stacking work of a block of tiles 300 can be automatically completed, so that the stacked tiles 300 can be taken out from the upper end opening of the discharge channel and packaged. In this embodiment, when four tiles 300 are stacked, a robot is used to remove them.

Because the feed inlet is located tile passageway department, and the upper end opening of discharge channel is the discharge gate, consequently, can accomplish the tile 300 that piles up in discharge channel department and take away through the manipulator in the in-process that the feeding work goes on to can not continue to send tile 300 to the discharge channel to the tile support 270 and cause the hindrance influence, thereby make feeding and ejection of compact go on in step, need not to pause tile 300 feeding work when taking away the tile 300 that has piled, promote tile 300 to pile up efficiency promotion.

The automatic tile stacking mechanism 200 adopts the structural design, realizes automatic tile stacking, promotes the simultaneous feeding and discharging of the tile 300, has strong working continuity, thereby achieving the purposes of reducing manpower input and improving efficiency, and indirectly reducing the loss of tile finished products.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, 5 and 6, the structure of the discharging assembly 250 includes two sets of discharging plates, where the two sets of discharging plates are disposed opposite to each other along the first direction of the frame 210, and a certain distance exists between the two sets of discharging plates in the first direction, so that a discharging channel is formed between the two sets of discharging plates.

The elastic support 256 is disposed on a surface of each group of the discharging plates facing the discharging channel, and a cross-sectional shape of the elastic support 256 in the second direction is a right triangle with a hypotenuse disposed downward, and a length direction of the elastic support 256 extends along the second direction.

It will be appreciated that the tapping plate may be made of metal or plastic, the elastic support 256 may be made of plastic having certain deformation properties, etc., and is not particularly limited herein. The elastic support 256 may be fixed to the tapping plate by means of an adhesive or a screw connection. Each group of discharging plates can comprise one discharging plate or two or more discharging plates. In this embodiment, each set of tapping plates comprises one tapping plate, which increases the contact area between the elastic support 256 and the tile 300.

For the discharging plate positioned at the left side of the discharging channel, the elastic supporting piece 256 is arranged at the right side surface of the discharging plate, and the elastic supporting piece 256 is large at the left end and small at the right end; for the discharge plate positioned on the right side of the discharge channel, the elastic support 256 is disposed on the left side of the discharge plate, and the elastic support 256 has a small left end and a large right end.

Because the two groups of discharging plates are oppositely arranged in the first direction, and the discharging plates are provided with the elastic supporting pieces 256 with right-angled triangle cross sections, the tile 300 is S-shaped when seen along the second direction, and the left end and the right end of the tile 300 in the tile channel are straight in the second direction, the elastic supporting pieces 256 positioned on two opposite sides of the tile 300 can exert supporting effect on the straight edges of the tile 300.

The lower surface of the elastic support 256 is an inclined plane, so that a certain guiding effect can be achieved on the tile 300, the elastic support 256 is easy to bend downwards under the extrusion effect of the tile 300, the tile 300 can pass over the elastic support 256, the upper surface of the elastic support 256 is a plane, downward bending deformation is not easy to occur, and enough supporting effect can be applied to the tile 300, so that the tile 300 is prevented from falling downwards.

In this embodiment, the discharging plate at the left side of the discharging channel is set as the first discharging plate 251, and the discharging plate at the right side of the discharging channel is set as the second discharging plate 252, and since the tile 300 is low at the left end and high at the right end, the elastic supporting members 256 on the first discharging plate 251 are lower than the elastic supporting members 256 on the second discharging plate 252 for the elastic supporting members 256 on the opposite sides of the tile 300.

Further, a guiding part is arranged at the upper end of the discharging plate and is an upper guiding part 254, and the upper guiding part 254 is used for guiding a manipulator. The lower end of the discharge plate is also provided with a guide part and is provided with a lower guide part 255. The lower guide 255 functions to guide the tile 300.

The lower end of the first discharging plate 251 and the lower end of the second discharging plate 252 are bent and extended in a direction away from the discharging channel, so that a lower guide part 255 is formed, the lower guide part 255 of the first discharging plate 251 and the lower guide part 255 of the second discharging plate 252 jointly form a lower guide channel, and the lower guide channel integrally shows that the lower end opening is large and the upper end opening is small. Also, lower guide 255 is located within the tile channel.

It will be appreciated that the guide portion at the lower end of the discharge plate guides the tile 300 in the tile channel to smoothly enter the discharge channel under the driving action of the tile supporting member 270. Under the guiding action of the guiding part at the upper end of the discharging plate, the manipulator can smoothly enter the discharging channel, and the stacked tiles 300 are clamped and safely taken out.

In other embodiments, two sets of take-off plates are spaced along the second direction of the frame 210, where the resilient supports 256 on the take-off plates are positioned to the arcuate shape of the tiles 300 to support the arcuate edges of the tiles 300, as shown in fig. 2 and 6.

Of course, it is not excluded that the tapping channel has four side wall surfaces, each provided with a resilient support 256.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, 5, 6 and 7, the structure of the automated shingle mechanism 200 also includes an adjustment assembly. Each group of discharge plates is movably connected with the frame 210. The adjusting component is used for driving the two groups of discharging plates to be close to or far away from each other in the first direction.

The adjustment assembly can then be used to adjust the position of the take-off plate in the first direction so that the size of the take-off channel defined by the two sets of take-off plates matches the size of the tile 300.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5 and 7, the rack 210 is provided with a long hole, the length direction of the long hole extends along the first direction of the rack 210, the adjusting component is a threaded fastener 257, the threaded fastener 257 penetrates through the long hole of the rack 210, and each group of discharging plates is fixedly connected to the rack 210 through the threaded fastener 257. The threaded fastener 257 may extend in the up-down direction of the frame 210.

It is understood that the threaded fasteners 257 include bolts and nuts. Because the frame 210 is provided with the rectangular hole, the extending direction of rectangular hole is the first direction, consequently, after adjusting the interval of two sets of flitch in first direction according to the size of tile 300, can be through threaded fastener 257 with flitch fixed connection on frame 210 to ensure that tile 300 can remain stable and not drop under the elastic support 256 on the flitch.

Further, the rack 210 may further be provided with an adjusting screw 253, where the adjusting screw 253 is in threaded connection with the rack 210, and the adjusting screw 253 extends along the first direction of the rack 210 and abuts against the discharging plate, and the adjusting screw 253 is located on a side of the discharging plate away from the discharging channel, as shown in fig. 7. Here adjusting screw 253 plays limiting displacement to the flitch, can prevent that the flitch from taking place to slide towards the direction of discharge channel in the use, leads to the size grow of discharge channel and causes the unable problem of effectively supporting tile 300 of elastic support piece 256 to appear.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, each group of tapping plates is hinged to the frame 210 by a hinge shaft extending along the second direction. The adjusting component is an adjusting screw 253, the number of the adjusting screws 253 is two, and the two groups of adjusting screws 253 are distributed at intervals in the first direction and are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two groups of discharging plates. Wherein, the length direction of adjusting screw 253 extends along first direction and sets up, and the one end threaded connection of adjusting screw 253 is in frame 210, and the other end of adjusting screw 253 can the butt in the surface that the flitch kept away from the ejection of compact passageway.
