[0039] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a fully automatic pipe pile transportation device, comprising a kettle car 1 for placing pipe piles 10, a shuttle car 2 for transporting the kettle car 1, an autoclave 3 located on one side of the shuttle car 2, a first track 4 for realizing the movement of the kettle car 1, a second track 5 for realizing the movement of the shuttle car 2, and a third track 6 located on one side of the autoclave 3;

[0041] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the shuttle bus 2 is located on the second track 5, and includes a main body 21, a pulley 22 located on the second track 5, a kettle car track 23 fixed on the main body 21, a grabbing mechanism 24 for automatically grabbing the kettle car 1, a pushing mechanism 25 for driving the kettle car 1 to move, and a transverse movement mechanism 26 for driving the shuttle bus 2 to move;

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the grabbing mechanism 24 includes a hook 241, a fixing bracket 242 for fixing the hook 241, and a driving mechanism 243 for driving the hook 241 to move; the hook 241 is rotatably connected to the fixing bracket 242;

[0043] The driving mechanism 243 includes a cylinder 244 and a pushing member 245 fixed on the cylinder 244. The pushing member 245 moves toward the direction close to the hook 241, so that the hook 241 rotates and hooks the kettle car.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the kettle car 1 is used to place and transport pipe piles, and includes wheels 11, a car plate 12 arranged on the wheels 11, and a connecting piece 13 connecting the car plate 12. The wheels 11 are arranged on the first track 4, and their shape and size match the first track 4. A first slide groove is provided on the wheel 11, and the first track 4 is embedded in the first slide groove to ensure that when external force acts on the kettle car, the wheels 11 can move along the first track 3, thereby ensuring that the kettle car 1 can move smoothly.

[0045] The car body 12 is provided on the wheel 11, facilitating the support of the pipe piles and realizing the transportation of the pipe piles. Fixed slots 14 are provided at both ends thereof, and the fixed slots 14 are through holes provided at both ends of the car body 12.

[0046] The connecting member 13 connects the car bodies 12, and it connects adjacent car bodies 12, thereby realizing the connection of adjacent kettle cars 1. In this embodiment, the connecting member 13 is made of steel and has a U-shaped structure. When connecting, both ends of the connecting member 13 extend into the interior of the fixed slots 14, thereby realizing the connection of adjacent kettle cars 1. By using a connecting member made of steel, whether the kettle car 1 is pushed forward or pulled forward, the distance between adjacent kettle cars 1 can be ensured, so that the pipe piles 10 on the kettle car 1 can be successfully lifted, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the transportation process of the pipe piles 10.

[0047] As Figure 2-3 shown, the ferry car 2 is used to transport the kettle car, and it is located on the second track 5. It includes a main body 21, a pulley 22 located on the second track 5, a kettle car track 23 fixed to the main body 21, a grasping mechanism 24 for automatically grasping the kettle car, a pushing mechanism 25 for driving the movement of the kettle car 1, and a lateral movement mechanism 26 for driving the movement of the ferry car 2. The pulley 22 is used to support the main body 21, and it is located on the second track 5. A second chute is provided thereon, and the second track 5 is embedded inside the second chute, ensuring that when the lateral movement mechanism 26 acts on the kettle car 1, the pulley 22 can move along the second track 5, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the kettle car 1.

[0048] The kettle car track 23 is fixed to the main body 21, and it is parallel to the first track 3 and has the same structure. When it is aligned with the first track 3, the kettle car 1 can be successfully transferred from the ground to the transfer car 2.

[0049] As Figure 4 shown, the grasping mechanism 24 is used to automatically grasp the kettle car 1. It includes a hook 241, a fixed bracket 242 for fixing the hook 241, and a driving mechanism 243 for driving the hook 241. The hook 241 is used to grasp or release the kettle car 1, and it is fixed to the fixed bracket 242. The hook 241 is made of steel and is integrally formed in a W shape, including a driving part, a fixing part that interacts with the fixed slot, and a connecting part connecting the driving part and the fixing part. And the weight of the driving part is less than the weight of the fixing part, ensuring that when the driving mechanism releases the driving force, the hook can automatically reset.

[0050] In order to realize the rotatable connection between the hook 241 and the fixed bracket 242, the hook 241 also includes a rotating shaft and a rotating hole for installing the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft extends into the rotating hole and one end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the fixed bracket 242, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the hook 241 and the fixed bracket 242.

[0051] The fixed bracket 242 is fixed on the transition vehicle 2, and is used to fix the hook 241 and the driving mechanism 243 to ensure that the hook can rotate and automatically reset. It moves under the action of the pushing mechanism 25, thereby realizing the movement of the grabbing mechanism.

[0052] The driving mechanism 243 drives the hook 241 to move, and includes a cylinder 244 and a pushing member 245 fixed on the cylinder 244 . The cylinder 244 drives the pushing member 245 to move back and forth, so that the pushing member 245 approaches or moves away from the hook 241 .

[0053] The pushing member 245 is fixed to the end of the cylinder 244, which is integrally formed and includes a supporting portion and a pushing portion integrally formed with the supporting portion. The pushing portion is inclined. As the pushing portion gradually approaches the hook, it contacts the hook 241 and presses down the driving portion, causing the hook to rotate. During the process, the fixing portion rotates upward and extends into the fixing groove, thereby achieving the fixation of the kettle car.

[0054] Correspondingly, when the kettle car 1 is released, the cylinder 244 drives the pushing member 245 to move away from the hook 241, the hook 241 rotates under the action of gravity, and the fixing portion withdraws from the fixing groove, so that the kettle car can be released.

[0055] Correspondingly, in order to prevent the pushing member 245 from being too close to the hook 241, causing the hook 241 or the driving mechanism 243 to be damaged, thereby affecting the service life of the grabbing mechanism of the kettle car, the grabbing mechanism 24 also includes a limiting column 246, and the limiting column 246 is fixed on the fixed bracket 242, which is located between the hook 241 and the pushing member 245. When the pushing member 245 and the limiting column 246 abut against each other, the hook 241 has hooked the fixed groove 14, and the cylinder 244 stops driving the pushing member 245, thereby achieving the limitation of the pushing member 245.

[0056] In order to prevent the pushing member 245 from being offset in position, or from being unable to drive the hook 241 to rotate due to the action of friction, thereby affecting the fixation of the kettle car, the grabbing mechanism 24 also includes a guide wheel 247, and the guide wheel 247 includes an upper guide wheel and a lower guide wheel. The upper guide wheel is located above the pushing member 245 and is in contact with the pushing member 245. The lower guide wheel is located at the end of the driving part to reduce friction, thereby ensuring that the driving mechanism 243 can smoothly drive the hook to rotate.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the pushing mechanism 25 is used to drive the movement of the kettle car 1, which includes a pushing motor 251, a sprocket 252 connected to the pushing motor 251, and a chain 253 wound around the sprocket 252, wherein the chain 253 is connected to the fixed bracket 242, and when the pushing motor 251 drives the sprocket 252 to rotate, it drives the chain 253 and the grabbing mechanism 24 to move together, thereby facilitating the movement of the kettle car 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, there are two pushing mechanisms 25 , and the two pushing mechanisms 25 are synchronized via an encoder to ensure that the kettle car 1 can be smoothly pushed and moved by the pushing mechanisms 25 .

[0059] The transverse movement mechanism 26 is used to drive the shuttle bus 2 to move. It is fixed on the main body 251 and is a transverse movement motor. The transverse movement motor is connected to the pulley 22 and drives the pulley 22 to move, so that the shuttle bus 2 moves along the second track 5.

[0060] Correspondingly, such as Figure 7 As shown, in order to make the kettle car track 23 match the first track 4 and the third track 6, so that the kettle car 1 can smoothly get on and off the kettle car, it also includes a guiding mechanism 7, the guiding mechanism 7 includes a guiding sleeve 71 and a guiding head 72 matching the guiding sleeve 71, the guiding sleeve 71 is embedded in the foundation on both sides of the ferry car 2, which is located directly below the first track 4 or the third guide rail 6, and the guiding sleeve 71 is provided with a guiding cavity inside, the guiding head 72 is located below the kettle car track 23, so when the guiding head 72 extends into the guiding cavity, the position of the ferry car 2 is guided, thereby ensuring that the kettle car 1 can smoothly get on and off the ferry car.

[0061] The autoclave 3 is located on one side of the shuttle bus 2 , and it and the first track 4 are respectively located on both sides of the shuttle bus 2 , ensuring that the autoclave car 1 on the first track 4 can enter the autoclave 3 through the shuttle bus 2 .

[0062] The first track 4 is used to realize the movement of the kettle car, and is located on the ground.

[0063] The second rail 5 is used to realize the movement of the shuttle bus 2. In order to ensure that the kettle car rail 23 is at the same height as the first rail 4, so that the kettle car 1 can be smoothly transferred from the first rail 4 to the kettle car rail 23, the height of the second rail 5 is lower than the height of the first rail 4, and the height difference between the first rail 4 and the second rail 5 is the height of the shuttle bus 2.

[0064] The third track 6 is located between the autoclave 3 and the shuttle vehicle 2 , so that the autoclave vehicle 1 on the shuttle vehicle 2 can enter the autoclave 3 through the third track 6 .

[0065] In the fully automatic pipe pile transportation device provided by the present invention, during operation, the kettle car 1 is located on the first track 4, and the pipe pile 10 is placed on the kettle car 1 by a crane. At the same time, the transverse movement mechanism 26 drives the shuttle car 2 to move, so that the track of the kettle car 1 is aligned with the first track 4, and the pushing mechanism 25 moves until the hook 241 of the grabbing mechanism 24 is located below the fixed groove 14, and the pushing mechanism 25 stops working, and the driving mechanism 243 drives the pushing member 245 to move in the direction close to the hook 241 and presses down the hook 241, so that the hook 241 rotates and Hooking the fixing groove 14 and keeping the hooking state unchanged, the pushing mechanism 25 starts to move and drives the grabbing mechanism 24 and the autoclave 1 to move together until the autoclave 1 reaches between the autoclave track 23 and the third track 6, the grabbing mechanism 24 close to the first track 4 is relaxed, and the grabbing mechanism 24 close to the third track 6 hooks the autoclave 1, and the pushing mechanism 25 pushes the grabbing mechanism 24 and the autoclave 1 to move again until the autoclave 1 enters the autoclave 3, thereby completing the transportation process of the pipe pile 10, which is fully automatic transportation without manual operation, thereby improving transportation efficiency and saving production costs.

[0066] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
