  • the stacking system (S) is used in a system wherein the containers (C) to be stacked, exemplified in the drawings as LPG cylinders, are supplied through a conveyor line.
  • the container (C) on the conveyor line is transferred from its position into the said transport element (2).
  • the transport element (2) is transferred into a position where the container (C) located in the transport element (2) is carried into the body (4), by means of the first displacing mechanism (1) associated therewith.
  • the second displacing mechanism (3) also transfers the container (C) positioned in the transport element (2) into the body (4).
  • the container (C) received in the body (4) is gripped by the gripping arm (5).
  • the said gripping arm (5) and the container (C) carried by the gripping arm (5) are raised to a certain height from the ground by means of the third displacing mechanism.
  • the container (C) is locked by at least one locking arm provided on the body (4) and the container (C) is fixed at that position.
  • the gripping arm (5) and the container (C) are released and the gripping arm (5) moves to carry the next container (C).
  • one other container (C) taken from its position is conveyed into the body (4) by means of the second displacing member (3) and the gripping arm (5) arranges a newly arrived container (C) below the container (C) hold by the locking arm.
  • the lower-positioned container (C) pushes the upper-positioned container (C) upwards (for example, since the upper part of the container (C) is wider than the lower part thereof), as a result of which there occurs a power accumulation and the second container (C) carried by the gripping arm (5) is fixed therein by means of the locking arm. This is continued until the desired number of containers (C) is stacked one above another.
  • the last container (C) desired to be stacked is pushed from the transport element (2) into the body (4) by means of the second displacing member (3), stacked containers (C) retained by the locking arm are released, so that those containers (C) that have been previously stacked one above another settle on the lowermost positioned container (C). In this manner, within the body (4), containers (C) are stacked one above another, with the last container (C) placed into the body (4) being located at the lowermost position.

  • the base (2a) on which the container (C) is placed comprises at least one hole (2b) positioned such that it divides the base into two pieces.
  • Said hole (2b) preferably extends longitudinally such that one side thereof is close to the body (4) whereas the other side thereof is away from the body (4). Thanks to the said hole (2b), the second displacing member (3) that transfers the container (C) positioned on the transport element (2) into the body (4) is passed through the said hole (2b) and moved towards the body (4) and thus allows the container (C) in the transport element (2) to move towards the body (4).
  • the transport element (2) may move to receive the next container, without waiting for the second displacing member (3) to return. In this manner, stacking of the containers (C) is accelerated.
  • the gripping arm (5) that holds the container (C) settled in the body (4) comprises at least two pieces which are in the form of a clamp.
  • the stacking system (S) comprises at least one actuating part (6), preferably in the form of a piston, which allows the said two pieces to move close to and away from the container (C), in this way, the container (C) may be safely gripped at any section thereof.

  • Said support member exerts power in the reverse direction to the weight of the container (C) carried by the locking arm so as to support the locking arm.
  • the stacking system (S) comprises at least one shaft (7) which is positioned such that it prevents movement of the containers (C) stacked in the body (4), which contacts at least one side of the containers (C), and which is connected to the said body (4) by means of at least one connecting member (7a).
  • the stacking system (S) comprises at least four shafts (7) that surround the said containers and fix them in place, such that stacked containers (C) are prevented from moving out of the body (4) while its undesired movements such as tilting and sliding are also prevented

Therefore, the shaft (7) connected to the body (4) by means of the rotatable connecting member (7a) may rotate about the said axis and may allow the stacked containers (C) to move out of the body (4). Thus, after the containers (C) are stacked, they are allowed to move out of the body (4) without being titled.
  • the stacking system (S) comprises at least one movable part (i.e. a wheel., bearing etc.) which is preferably positioned on that part of the body (4) facing the ground and which transfers the stacking system (S) into the desired position, in order to stack containers (C) in different units.
