The existing automatic palletizing unit has multiple presses and multiple corresponding palletizing robot arms, but only A palletizing conveyor lane and a brick conveyor belt are equipped with transport trolleys for palletizing on the conveyor lane. When one of the transport trolleys fails, the transport trolley needs to be removed so as not to affect the subsequent transport trolleys. Carry out normal work. In addition, if a press fails, the transport trolley at the position of the press will not be able to complete the stacking and transport, which will also affect the transport trolleys behind the transport trolley to transport bricks.

Therefore, the technical problem actually solved by the present invention is how to improve the brick stacking and conveying line.

As a preferred example in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, an automatic palletizing unit includes:

The brick pressing unit 100 is composed of multiple presses 1. The presses 1 are used to press bricks. In this embodiment, there are four presses 1 arranged in a horizontal direction and have the same outlet. The brick pressing outlet in the material direction;

Input lane 2, the input lane 2 is used to input unloaded cars,

Output lane 3, which is used to output fully loaded cars;

The input lane 2 and the output lane 3 are located on both sides of the brick pressing unit 100, and the trolleys are used for transporting and stacking bricks;

Multiple palletizing robotic arms 4, each palletizing robotic arm 4 is used in conjunction with a press 1, and the palletizing robotic arm 4 is used to transport bricks to the trolley;

Among them, the plurality of palletizing mechanical arms 4 are arranged in a straight line, which is at a certain angle with the arrangement direction of the plurality of presses 1 in the brick pressing unit 100. For example, the plurality of palletizing mechanical arms extend along an oblique direction. After being set in the linear direction, the straight-line setting direction of the multiple palletizing robotic arms is set at an acute angle with the overall setting direction of the four presses, so that each palletizing robotic arm 4 is set in the four directions of front, rear, left and right. Space is used to set a conveyor belt 11 between each press 1 and the corresponding palletizing robot arm 4 in the setting space, or to set an input lane or output corresponding to the palletizing robot arm in the setting space. Lane.

A plurality of branch lanes 21 are arranged on the input lane 2. The above-mentioned installation space can also be used to set the branch lanes 21. Each branch lane 21 extends through the conveyor belt 11. In this embodiment, the branch lanes 21 Dislocated up and down with the conveyor belt 11, each branch lane 21 passes through the working station of a palletizing robot arm 4 and is connected to the output lane 3.

Since each press 1 works with a palletizing robot arm 4 to form a production line, the branch lane 21 and the conveyor belt 11 corresponding to the press 1 are used to form a relatively independent transport channel, so that the bricks pressed by each press 1 pass through Carts are delivered independently.

If the press machine 1 or the palletizing robot arm 4 or the trolley in one production line fails or is damaged, it will not affect the work of other production lines.

An automatic palletizing unit in this embodiment includes a brick pressing unit 100 composed of multiple presses 1, an input lane 2, an output lane 3, and multiple palletizing robot arms 4. There are branch lanes 21, and a conveyor belt 11 is provided between each press 1 and the corresponding palletizing manipulator, so that the brick conveying process pressed by each press 1 is relatively independent and does not interfere with each other, reducing the impact of car failure on the entire The influence of the work of the automatic palletizing unit, and the multiple palletizing robot arms 4 are arranged at an angle, so that the conveyor belt 11 and the branch lane 21 are arranged at an angle, and the palletizing robot arm 4 transports the bricks to the trolley. , the working steering angle is reduced, and the working requirements of the palletizing robot arm 4 are reduced, thereby saving costs and improving work efficiency.

In this embodiment, in order to make the automatic palletizing unit compact as a whole and save the space occupied by the production equipment, as shown in Figure 1, the extension direction of each branch lane 21 and the extension direction of each conveyor belt 11 are arranged vertically. Therefore, the installation gap between the brick pressing unit 100, the branch track and the conveyor belt 11 can be reduced as much as possible.

In addition, in this embodiment, combining the input lane 2 and the output lane 3, the input lane 2 and the output lane Lane 3 and branch lane 21 are arranged perpendicular to each other, so that the automatic palletizing unit has a square layout and realizes the rational use of production space.

Furthermore, since the branch lane 21 and the conveyor belt 11 are arranged perpendicularly, according to the implementation process of the palletizing robot arm 4 in this embodiment to transport the bricks, the bricks are transported from the conveyor belt 11 to the trolley of the branch lane 21. At this time, the bricks are palletized. The working radius of the robotic arm 4 is close to the maximum width of the trolley, and the working range of the palletizing robotic arm 4 is approximately 90°, which reduces the design and use cost of the palletizing robotic arm 4 and increases the efficiency accordingly.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the automatic palletizing unit includes:

When an unloaded car enters any branch lane 21 from the input lane 2, the car drives to the palletizing robot arm 4 corresponding to the branch lane 21, and the bricks on the conveyor belt 11 are transported by the palletizing robot arm 4. into the car until the car is fully loaded. The fully loaded car continues to drive to the output lane 3, and the output is completed from the output lane 3.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , preferably, the distance between each palletizing robot arm 4 and the corresponding press 1 is used as the installation length of the conveyor belt 11 .

On the one hand, the length of the conveyor belt 11 is reduced in order to reduce design and use costs and meet the purpose of the automatic palletizing unit;

On the other hand, that is, the palletizing robot arm 4 is arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 11, so that the press 1 presses The bricks are transported to the end of the corresponding conveyor belt 11, and then transported to the trolley by the palletizing robot arm 4. This can prevent the bricks from crossing the position of the palletizing robot arm 4, causing the palletizing robot arm 4 to be unable to rotate to this position, and the bricks stuck on the output belt.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the automatic palletizing unit also includes:

Dryer 6, the dryer 6 is arranged at the end of the output lane 3 and is used to dry the bricks.

Preferably, the dryer 6 is a tunnel dryer 6, and the installation direction of the dryer 6 is perpendicular to the installation direction of the output lane 3.

Each press 1 corresponds to the running lane of a trolley. The trolley running tracks of each press 1 do not interfere with each other and run independently. The trolleys with bricks stacked on both sides go to the output lane 3 in the middle.

Among them, the above-mentioned output lane 3 is a left and right double parking space output lane 3, which is used to adapt to the output of pressed bricks by multiple sets of symmetrically arranged palletizing units.

Specifically, in the automatic palletizing unit used in the automatic palletizing system, the multiple palletizing robot arms 4 are arranged in a straight line, and the angle between the straight line and the arrangement direction of the multiple presses 1 in the brick pressing unit 100 is is an acute angle, so that when the two sets of automatic palletizing units are arranged symmetrically, the output lanes of the two automatic palletizing units are 3 Can be shared or combined.
