Clamping device for lock knob of container, and use method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a clamping device for a lock knob of a container, and a use method thereof. The clamping device is installed on a mechanical arm, and comprises a base, a lock shifting mechanism and two clamping jaw mechanisms. The device is capable of meeting the dimensions of all types of lock knobs; the intelligent solution manner of automatic unlocking and locking is realized, and the full adaptability of action in a link of clamping the lock to all types of the lock knobs is achieved; and clamp replacement is avoided, so that the efficiency is increased, the environment adaptability is improved, and the faults are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a container lock button clamping device and a using method thereof. Background technique [0002] When shipping containers are loaded on board and unloaded at the port terminal, the container lock buttons at the four corners of the bottom of the container need to be unlocked and locked for fastening and separation between the containers. In the context of terminal automation, the unlocking and buckling of container locks requires non-manual automation to replace manual work. However, because the models of the lock buttons of the major shipping companies are not uniform, and because the functions of the lock buttons are changed, there are as many as several hundred types of lock buttons; and the appearance and size of each type of lock button are different. In the prior art, due to the variety of lock buttons in automatic unlocking and locking, it is impossible to use one clamp to complete the clamping action for all the lock b...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the lack of uniform models of the lock buttons of major shipping companies, and because of the changing functions of the lock buttons, there are as many as several hundred types of lock buttons; and the appearance and size of each type of lock button are different.

In the prior art, due to the variety of lock buttons in automatic unlocking and locking, it is impossible to use one clamp to complete the clamping action for all the lock buttons, and it is necessary to replace different lock button clamps according to the type of lock button; resulting in Inefficient, high failure rate when changing fixtures

Therefore, in the workflow of unlocking and buckling the lock button, the automation system needs an intelligent fixture that can meet the work of unlocking and buckling the lock button of various types; improve the work efficiency of automation work, and overcome the need for multiple replacements of general fixtures. Completed the defects of multi-type lock button clamping work; and the problems of poor environmental adaptability and frequent failures caused by fixture replacement
