III. Equipment Structure and Workflow

(I) Core Structural Components

The ALVA-VS Series Board & Skin Palletizer is mainly composed of five core modules: board skin collection system, grading and sorting system, stacking and forming system, power and control system, and outward transfer system. Each module cooperates to realize the full-process automatic palletizing of board skins:

  1. Board Skin Collection System: Responsible for receiving board skins conveyed by upstream equipment, and smoothly transporting board skins to the sorting station through guiding devices and conveying roller sets, ensuring that board skins do not shift or wrinkle during conveying, laying a foundation for subsequent sorting and stacking operations.

  2. Grading and Sorting System: As the core functional module of the equipment, it realizes automatic identification and grading of board skins through a grading detection device and control logic, and guides board skins of different levels to corresponding stacking stations according to preset standards to achieve precise sorting.

  3. Stacking and Forming System: Composed of a hydraulic lifting platform and an aligning device, it realizes regular positioning of board skins through a pneumatic aligning device, and smooth lifting of the stack through a hydraulic lifting platform, ensuring the flatness and stability of board skin stacking and forming a regular board skin stack.

  4. Power and Control System: With PLC as the core control unit, it integrates pneumatic and hydraulic power systems to realize cooperative control and operation monitoring of each module of the equipment, and provides a human-machine interaction interface for operators to set parameters and troubleshoot.

  5. Outward Transfer System: Equipped with a remote control chain outward transmission device, it automatically transports the formed board skin stack to a designated position, realizing the automatic transfer of the stack and connecting subsequent storage or processing processes.

(II) Standardized Workflow

The ALVA-VS Series Board & Skin Palletizer follows a standardized workflow of "board skin collection—grading and sorting—stacking and forming—stack outward transfer", with fully automatic operation throughout the process without manual intervention:

  1. Board Skin Collection Stage: The upstream equipment transports the processed board skins to the feeding end of the palletizer. The board skin collection system starts, and smoothly transports the board skins to the sorting station through the conveying roller set and guiding device, completing the initial positioning and sorting of the board skins.

  2. Grading and Sorting Stage: The grading and sorting system starts, identifies the specifications and quality of the board skins through the detection device, and guides the board skins to the corresponding stacking stations according to the preset sorting level. Board skins of different levels are accurately distributed to their respective stacking areas to avoid mixing.

  3. Stacking and Forming Stage: After the board skin enters the stacking station, the pneumatic aligning device acts to regularize and position the board skin to ensure the alignment of the board skin edges; at the same time, the hydraulic lifting platform automatically adjusts the position according to the stack height to realize the layer-by-layer smooth stacking of the board skins, forming a regular board skin stack.

  4. Stack Outward Transfer Stage: When the stack reaches the preset height, the stacking station stops feeding, the outward transfer system starts, and automatically transports the formed board skin stack to the designated position through the remote control chain outward transmission device, waiting to enter the next storage or processing process. At the same time, the stacking station resets to prepare for receiving the next batch of board skins.

The entire workflow is coherent and smooth, with efficient cooperation between each module, effectively ensuring the efficiency and quality of board skin palletizing, while reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the automation level of production.
