Abstract
The invention relates to a basket lifting-stacking machine, for lifting baskets by means of a rack-and-pinion lifting system driven by a single-phase self-braking motor so that the customer can lift the basket to the height that best suits their own height, with automatic movement of the basket towards the basket-stacking module, by means of conveyor belts and an electromagnet driven by a linear actuator, and automatic basket stacking with a platform that adapts its height to the number of baskets stacked by means of a scissor lift system driven by a linear actuator with a potentiometer.
Claims3
A basket lifting-stacking machine comprising two contiguous bodies or modules, a first lifting module with a shape and dimension suitable for containing therein a supermarket basket, open at the top, front and on the side adjacent to the second module, adapted for lifting and lowering of the supermarket basket located therein by means of a frame that can move in the vertical plane by means of a rack-and-pinion transmission system equipped with an electric motor driven by means of a presence or movement sensor, and a second body or stacking module, adjacent to the first module or lifting module, with a shape and dimension suitable for the vertical stacking therein of several units of supermarket baskets, open on the side adjacent to the first module or lifting module, characterized in that the frame of the lifting module comprises a transmission system by means of an electric motor and the use of conveyor belts which, by means of an automated process started by the manual activation of a button, allows the movement of the supermarket basket in the horizontal plane up to the adjacent stacking module, horizontally moving the basket located on the frame or lifting platform to leave the basket supported on a vertical support system by flat bars, fixed to the upper part of the stacking module, from which the supermarket basket is picked up by a platform located inside the stacking module that can be lifted vertically by means of a scissor system transmission and characterized in that the lifting module has access doors, located at the front of the module, which remain closed and, by means of a proximity sensor, detect the approach of the supermarket basket to the module lift and activate the opening of the doors for the access of the supermarket basket to the frame or lifting platform, detecting the entrance of the basket on the platform and activating the closing of the access doors.
A basket lifting-stacking machine comprising two contiguous bodies or modules, a first lifting module with a shape and dimension suitable for containing therein a supermarket basket, open at the top, front and on the side adjacent to the second module, adapted for lifting and lowering of the supermarket basket located therein by means of a frame that can move in the vertical plane by means of a rack-and-pinion transmission system equipped with an electric motor driven by means of a presence or movement sensor, and a second body or stacking module, adjacent to the first module or lifting module, with a shape and dimension suitable for the vertical stacking therein of several units of supermarket baskets, open on the side adjacent to the first module or lifting module, characterized in that the frame of the lifting module comprises a transmission system by means of an electric motor and the use of conveyor belts which, by means of an automated process started by the manual activation of a button, allows the movement of the supermarket basket in the horizontal plane up to the adjacent stacking module, horizontally moving the supermarket basket located on the frame or lifting platform to leave the basket supported on a vertical support system by flat bars, fixed to the upper part of the stacking module, from which the supermarket basket is picked up by a platform located inside the stacking module that can be lifted vertically by means of a scissor system transmission and characterized in that it comprises a button with several positions and manual operation by the user, which activates the vertical transmission system of the frame or lifting platform for raising or lowering the supermarket basket, which allows the lifting or lowering of the supermarket basket to the height desired by the user.
A basket lifting-stacking machine comprising two contiguous bodies or modules, a first lifting module with a shape and dimension suitable for containing therein a supermarket basket, open at the top, front and on the side adjacent to the second module, adapted for lifting and lowering of the supermarket basket located therein by means of a frame that can move in the vertical plane by means of a rack-and-pinion transmission system equipped with an electric motor driven by means of a presence or movement sensor, and a second body or stacking module, adjacent to the first module or lifting module, with a shape and dimension suitable for the vertical stacking therein of several units of supermarket baskets, open on the side adjacent to the first module or lifting module, characterized in that the frame of the lifting module comprises a transmission system by means of an electric motor and the use of conveyor belts which, by means of an automated process started by the manual activation of a button, allows the movement of the supermarket basket 15 in the horizontal plane up to the adjacent stacking module, horizontally moving the basket located on the frame or lifting platform to leave the basket supported on a vertical support system by flat bars, fixed to the upper part of the stacking module, from which the basket is picked up by a platform located inside the stacking module that can be lifted vertically by means of a scissor system transmission and comprising a germicidal ultraviolet light lamp located inside the stacking module that irradiates light beams onto the surface of the supermarket baskets stacked inside the stacking module.
