[0105] The ice plate storage device 1 provided in the present embodiment can put ice plates into or take them out of the storage frame 11 through the ice plate inlet and outlet 113, so as to ensure the regularity of ice plate placement and reduce the storage space of ice plates. By setting the lifting and lowering pallet 12, during the ice plate stacking process, the lifting and lowering pallet 12 can be raised to be flush with the ice plate inlet and outlet 113, and after each layer of ice plates is stacked, the height of the lifting and lowering pallet 12 can be lowered to stack the ice plates layer by layer, thereby increasing the number of ice plates that can be accommodated by the ice plate storage device and facilitating the stacking operation of ice plates. When the ice plates are put in, the top layer of ice plates on the lifting and lowering pallet 12 can be put into the ice plate inlet and outlet 113, and after each layer of ice plates is put in, the lifting and lowering pallet 12 can be raised to put the ice plates layer by layer. The ice plate putting or stacking operation is convenient.

[0107] In this embodiment, the dimension of the receiving frame 11 along the length direction is greater than the sum of the long side dimensions of the multiple ice plates, the dimension of the receiving frame 11 along the height direction is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the multiple ice plates, and the width of the receiving frame is less than the sum of the short side dimensions of two ice plates, so that multiple layers of ice plates can be stored in the receiving frame 11, each layer of flat plates is only provided with one row, and each row has multiple ice plates arranged side by side, so as to avoid interference between ice plates on the same layer and facilitate the taking and placing of ice plates.

[0108] Furthermore, the side frame 111 includes a rectangular frame formed by two horizontal support beams 1111 and two vertical support beams 1112. A limiting beam 115 parallel to the horizontal support beam 1111 is provided at the upper end of the rectangular frame. Both ends of the limiting beam 115 are connected to the two vertical support beams 1112. An ice plate inlet and outlet 113 for ice plates to enter or exit the receiving frame 11 is formed between the limiting beam 115 and the upper horizontal support beam 1111. A block 116 is provided between the limiting beam 115 and the lower horizontal support beam 1111 to prevent the ice plate from escaping from the receiving frame 11.

In another embodiment, the block 116 may also include a plurality of limit rods spaced apart along the longitudinal direction, the limit rods are horizontally arranged, and the two ends thereof are respectively connected to the two vertical support beams 1112. In another embodiment, the block 116 may also be a whole plate-like structure or other criss-cross frame-like structures, and the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on this, as long as it can prevent the ice plate from escaping from the side frame portion 111.

[0110] The lifting pallet 12 is horizontally arranged in the receiving frame 11, and the length direction of the lifting pallet 12 is consistent with the length direction of the receiving frame 11. In this embodiment, both ends of the lifting pallet 12 extend out of the receiving frame 11 through the lifting movable opening 114 to cooperate with the external pallet lifting mechanism. By separating the lifting pallet 12 from the pallet lifting mechanism, the overall structure of the ice plate receiving device 1 can be simplified and the cost required for stacking or placing can be reduced. In other embodiments, a pallet lifting mechanism for vertically lifting the lifting pallet 12 can also be set on opposite sides of the receiving frame 11.

[0111] In order to improve the lifting stability of the lifting support plate 12, the ice plate storage device 1 is provided with lifting guide components at both ends of the lifting support plate 12. In this embodiment, the vertical support beam 1112 is a U-shaped channel steel structure with an opening toward another vertical support beam 1112, and the groove of the U-shaped channel steel forms a guide slot 1113. Both ends of the lifting support plate 12 are provided with guide members that slide or roll with the guide slot 1113.

Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the lifting support plate 12 includes a support plate body 121 located in the receiving space and an extension end 122 located at both ends of the support plate body 121 and extending out of the receiving frame 11, and the guide member includes a guide roller 123 rotatably arranged on opposite sides of the extension end 122, and the guide roller 123 is located in the guide slide groove 1113 and rolls with the groove walls on opposite sides of the guide slide groove 1113. In other embodiments, the guide member can also be a slider, or the lifting guide assembly can also adopt other structures that can realize the lifting and lowering guide of the lifting support plate 12, and there are many existing technologies that can be used for lifting and lowering guide structures, which will not be described one by one here.

[0113] In this embodiment, a pair of guide rollers 123 are provided on both sides of each extension end 122, and each pair of guide rollers 123 are rotatably connected to the two ends of a roller shaft 124.

[0115] Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the ice plate receiving device provided by an embodiment of the present invention from another perspective, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a plurality of ice plate receiving devices provided by an embodiment of the present invention when they are gathered together. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in order to facilitate the movement of the ice board receiving device 1, the ice board receiving device 1 also includes a caster assembly arranged at the bottom of the receiving frame 11. In this embodiment, the caster assembly includes a first caster assembly 13 located at both ends of the receiving frame 11 in the length direction and a second caster assembly 14 located in the middle of the receiving frame 11. The first caster assembly 13 includes a first caster support rod 131 arranged horizontally and first casters 132 arranged at both ends of the first caster support rod 131; the second caster assembly 14 includes a second caster support rod 141 arranged horizontally and second casters 142 arranged at both ends of the second caster support rod 141. One end of the caster support rod is connected to the bottom of the receiving frame 11, and the other end of the caster support rod extends in a direction away from the receiving frame 11, and the extension directions of the first caster support rod 131 and the second caster support rod 141 are opposite. This is to improve the supporting stability of the caster assembly on the ice board receiving device 1 and prevent the ice board receiving device 1 from tipping over.

[0116] Furthermore, the distance between the fixed ends of the two first caster support rods 131 of the two first caster assemblies 13 is greater than the distance between the free ends; two second caster assemblies 14 are provided, and the distance between the fixed ends of the two second caster support rods 141 of the two second caster assemblies 14 is less than the distance between the free ends, so as to further improve the force stability and balance of the ice board receiving device 1, and enable the first caster assembly 13 and the second caster assembly 14 to not interfere with the caster assemblies of adjacent ice board receiving devices 1 when multiple ice board receiving devices 1 are gathered together.

[0117] Furthermore, the fixed ends of the two second caster support rods 141 of the second caster assembly 14 share a second caster 142, which reduces costs and simplifies the structure. Furthermore, the fixed ends of the second caster support rods 141 are connected by two parallel and spaced fixed connecting plates, the fixed ends of the two second caster support rods 141 are clamped between the two fixed connecting plates, and the second caster 142 is arranged on the fixed connecting plate located at the lower side.

[0118] In this embodiment, preferably, the first caster 132 and the second caster 142 are both universal casters, and the structure of the universal caster is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0119] Furthermore, in order to guide the gathering of two adjacent ice board receiving devices 1, a first guide plate 133 is provided on a side of the first caster support rod 131 away from the other first caster support rod 131, and the first guide plate 133 is connected to the fixed end of the first caster support rod 131, and the first caster support rod 131 and the first caster 132 at the corresponding end are located on the inner side of the first guide plate 133. The first guide plate 133 includes a first guide plate portion 1311 extending along the length direction of the first caster support rod 131 and a second guide plate portion 1322 provided along the width direction of the receiving frame 11, and the second guide plate portion 1322 is located at one end of the first guide plate portion 1311 close to the second caster assembly 14. The provision of the first guide plate 133 enables the first caster assembly 13 of the other ice board receiving device 1 located on the extension side of the first caster support rod 131 of the ice board receiving device 1 to be inserted into the outer sides of the two first caster assemblies 13 of the ice board receiving device 1.

[0120] Since the second caster assembly 14 needs to pass through the free end of the first caster assembly 13 when multiple ice board receiving devices 1 are placed side by side, the distance between the free ends of the two first caster assemblies 13 is greater than the distance between the free ends of the two second caster support rods 141, so that the second caster assembly 14 can be smoothly inserted between the two first caster assemblies 13. More preferably, each second caster support rod 141 is parallel to and spaced from the first caster support rod 131 on the corresponding side, so as to better avoid the first caster assemblies 13 and the second caster assemblies 14 of the two adjacent ice board receiving devices from interfering with each other when the two adjacent ice board receiving devices 1 are gathered together.

[0121] Furthermore, a second guide plate 143 for guiding the insertion of the adjacent second caster assembly 14 is provided on a side of each second caster support rod 141 away from another second caster support rod 141, and the second guide plate 143 is provided at the fixed end of the second caster assembly 14. The second guide plate 143 is a U-shaped structure, which includes a third guide plate portion 1431 constituting the horizontal side of the U-shaped structure and two guide connecting portions 1432 constituting the two vertical sides of the U-shaped structure. The third guide plate portion 1431 is parallel to and spaced from the corresponding second caster support rod 141, and a guide connecting portion 1432 close to the fixed end of the second caster support rod 141 extends along the length direction of the receiving frame 11 and is connected to the second caster support rod 141. When the ice board receiving device 1 is gathered together, the second caster support rod 141 of the ice board receiving device 1 located in front of the first caster support rod 131 of the current ice board receiving device 1 is inserted along the third guide plate portion 1431.

[0122] Furthermore, if Figure 2As shown, in order to keep the ice plate receiving devices 1 gathered side by side stable and not to disperse, a docking assembly 15 is also provided on the receiving frame 11, and the docking assembly 15 is used to connect two adjacent ice plate receiving devices 1. In this embodiment, the docking assembly 15 includes a U-shaped handle 152 provided on the side frame portion 111 and a C-shaped spring clip 151 provided at a corresponding height of the other side frame portion 111, and the handle 152 can be inserted into the C-shaped spring clip 151 of the adjacent ice plate receiving device 1. In other embodiments, the docking assembly 15 can also adopt other structures of card connection, plug connection or threaded connection, which will not be repeated here.

[0123] In this embodiment, the handle 152 is arranged along the length direction of the receiving frame 11, and two or more C-shaped spring clips 151 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the receiving frame 11 to improve the docking stability of two adjacent ice plate receiving devices 1. Furthermore, a reinforcing rod 117 is connected between the two vertical support beams 1112 of the two side frame parts 111, wherein the height of one of the reinforcing rods 117 is the same as that of the handle 152, and the C-shaped spring clip 151 is arranged on the outer side of one of the reinforcing rods 117, and the other reinforcing rod 117 is connected to both ends of the handle 152.

[0124] Furthermore, in order to improve the docking reliability between the ice plate receiving device 1 and the ice plate storage and access device 2, a limiting column 16 is protruded from the top of the receiving frame 11, and the limiting column 16 is used to achieve docking and limiting with the ice plate storage and access device 2. In this embodiment, the limiting column 16 is provided at both ends of the receiving frame 11 along its length direction. In other embodiments, the limiting column 16 can also be provided on the side of the receiving frame 11.

The internal space formed by the mounting frame 21 is used to accommodate the ice plate storage device 1. In order to drive the lifting pallet 12 to rise and fall vertically, at least one of the vertical frames 211 is provided with a pallet lifting mechanism 22. The pallet lifting mechanism 22 includes a pallet lifting drive unit 221, a pallet lifting transmission assembly 222 and a pallet docking piece 223. The pallet docking piece 223 is used to dock with the lifting pallet 12. The pallet lifting drive unit 221 drives the lifting pallet 12 connected to the pallet docking piece 223 to rise and fall vertically through the pallet lifting transmission assembly 222.

[0126] In this embodiment, the pallet lifting drive unit 221 includes a stacking lifting drive motor and a reducer, and the pallet lifting transmission assembly 222 is a sprocket chain assembly, which includes a driving sprocket connected to the output end of the stacking lifting drive motor, a driven sprocket spaced apart from the driving sprocket, and a chain 2222 wound around the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket. Further, the two pallet lifting mechanisms 22 share a pallet lifting drive unit 221. In order to achieve synchronous driving of the two pallet lifting transmission assemblies 222 by the pallet lifting drive unit 221, a horizontal lifting synchronization shaft 224 is provided on the truss 212, and the two ends of the lifting synchronization shaft 224 are respectively connected to the truss 212 for rotation. The output end of the pallet lifting drive unit 221 is connected to the lifting synchronization shaft 224, and the driving sprockets of the two pallet lifting transmission assemblies 222 are sleeved on the lifting synchronization shaft 224.

[0127] However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the pallet lifting transmission assembly 222 can be but is not limited to a synchronous belt mechanism, a screw nut mechanism, a gear rack mechanism, etc., and the two sets of pallet lifting mechanisms 22 can also be driven separately.

[0128] In this embodiment, the frame 211 includes support columns 2111 that are arranged oppositely and at intervals, and the upper and lower ends of the two support columns 2111 are connected by a reinforcing support plate 2112, so as to increase the contact area between the frame 211 and the ground and between the frame 211 and the truss 212, and an installation space for the pallet lifting transmission assembly 222 is formed between the two support columns 2111. The truss 212 includes two horizontal beams 2121 that are arranged oppositely and at intervals, and the two ends of the horizontal beams 2121 are connected by a reinforcing connecting plate 2122, and the reinforcing connecting plate 2122 is arranged vertically, and an installation space for the lifting synchronization shaft 224 is formed between the two horizontal beams 2121, and the two ends of the lifting synchronization shaft 224 are rotatably connected to the two reinforcing connecting plates 2122 respectively.

[0129] In order to ensure the smooth transmission of the chain 2222, a tensioning mechanism 23 for tensioning the chain 2222 is also provided on the stand 211. The tensioning mechanism 23 includes a mounting plate 232 connected to the stand 211, a tensioning shaft 233 slidably connected to the mounting plate 232, and a tensioning wheel 231 disposed at one end of the tensioning shaft 233. A horizontal sliding hole 2321 is provided on the mounting plate 232, the tensioning shaft 233 is inserted into the sliding hole 2321 and is slidably connected to the hole wall of the sliding hole 2321, and a limiting plate 234 is provided at one end of the tensioning shaft 233 away from the tensioning wheel 231 for limiting the tensioning shaft 233 from slipping out of the sliding hole 2321. The limiting plate 234 is provided with a long hole, the length direction of which is the same as that of the sliding hole 2321. The mounting plate 232 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes adapted to the long hole at intervals along the length direction of the sliding hole 2321. The position of the tensioning wheel 231 between the two supporting columns 2111 is selectively connected through the long hole and a threaded hole among the plurality of threaded holes, thereby adjusting the tensioning force of the chain 2222. It is understandable that the arrangement of the tensioning mechanism 23 provided in this embodiment is only an exemplary arrangement, and any structure in the prior art that can achieve tensioning of the chain 2222 can be applied to the present invention.

[0130] The pallet docking member 223 is connected to the chain 2222 so that the rotation of the chain 2222 drives the pallet docking member 223 to rise and fall vertically. In this embodiment, the pallet docking member 223 includes a horizontally arranged docking plate portion 2231 and a pin 2232 protruding from the docking plate portion 2231, and the pin 2232 is inserted and positioned with the docking through hole 1221 on the lifting pallet 12. The upper end of the pin 2232 is in the shape of a truncated cone with a small upper end and a large lower end, which is convenient for guiding the pin 2232 to enter the docking through hole 1221. The docking plate portion 2231 is used to abut against the lower surface of the lifting pallet 12 to better lift the lifting pallet 12.

[0131] Furthermore, in order to improve the structural strength and rigidity of the support plate docking member 223, vertical reinforcing plate portions 2233 are provided on opposite sides of the docking plate portion 2231. The support plate docking member 223 also includes a vertically arranged connecting plate portion 2234, which is vertically connected to the docking plate portion 2231 and the reinforcing plate portion 2233 respectively.

[0132] In order to improve the lifting stability of the pallet docking member 223, a vertical guide mechanism 24 for guiding the pallet docking member 223 is also provided on the stand 211. In this embodiment, the vertical guide mechanism 24 adopts a guide rail slider mechanism, which includes a linear guide rail 241 and a slider 242 matched with the linear guide rail 241, and the connecting plate portion 2234 of the pallet docking member 223 is connected to the slider 242. The guide rail slider mechanism is a conventional setting in the art and will not be described here. Further, the chain 2222 is detachably connected to the pallet docking member 223 through the adapter 225.

[0133] Since the ice plate receiving device 1 is pushed into between the two uprights 211 from one side of the ice plate storage and access device 2, in order to limit the pushing depth of the ice plate receiving device 1, a stopper 25 for limiting the position of the ice plate receiving device 1 is provided on the mounting frame 21. In this embodiment, a stopper 25 is provided on one of the supporting columns 2111 of each upright frame 211, and the stopper 25 is provided on a side away from another supporting column 2111 on the same upright frame 211. The stopper 25 includes an L-shaped stopper rod section 251, which is horizontally arranged, one end of which is vertically connected to the supporting column 2111, and the other end extends in a direction toward the other upright frame 211 and is connected to a vertically arranged stopper plate portion 252 at the end of the extension, and the stopper plate portion 252 is located on the side of the stopper rod section 251 facing the other supporting column 2111. Two stopping rod segments 251 are arranged at intervals along the height direction, and the two stopping rod segments 251 are connected to the same stopping plate portion 252 .

[0134] The above arrangement enables the ice board receiving device 1 to be pushed into the ice board storage and access device 2 when it enters the interior of the ice board storage and access device 2 from the opposite side of the stopper 25, and the stopper plate portion 252 abuts against the ice board receiving device 1 to achieve the push-in limit of the ice board receiving device 1. It can be understood that the structure of the stopper 25 provided in this embodiment is only an exemplary structure, and other structures that can achieve the push-in limit of the ice board receiving device 1 in the ice board storage and access device 2 can be applied to the present invention, such as the stopper 25 can be directly an L-shaped structure, or the stopper 25 can be a U-shaped handle-like structure arranged across the two uprights 211, or the stopper 25 is arranged on the truss 212, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0135] Furthermore, in order to guide the ice plate storage device 1 to enter or exit the ice plate storage and access device 2, the ice plate storage and access device 2 also includes a push-in guide assembly 26. In this embodiment, the push-in guide assembly 26 includes a plurality of guide wheel assemblies arranged side by side along the entry direction of the ice plate storage device 1, and the guide wheel assembly includes a support seat plate 261 horizontally arranged on the ground, a fixed shaft 263 vertically arranged on the support seat plate 261, and a directional roller 262 rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixed shaft 263. A plurality of fixed shafts 263 and directional rollers 262 can be arranged at intervals on the same support seat plate 261 along the entry direction of the ice plate storage device 1. The guide wheel assembly is arranged on the inner side of the stand 211 and close to the stand 211. A plurality of guide wheel assemblies are arranged on the inner side of each stand 211, and the center line of the plurality of directional rollers 262 is inclined at a certain angle relative to the entry direction of the ice plate storage device 1, so that the two center lines formed by the two rows of directional rollers 262 form a flared structure facing the entry direction of the ice plate storage device 1.

[0136] In this embodiment, in order to better guide the entry of the ice board receiving device 1, when the ice board receiving device 1 enters between two rows of guide wheel assemblies, the second guide plate portion 1322 in the first caster assembly 13 of the ice board receiving device 1 rolls with the directional roller 262.

[0137] In this embodiment, three sets of guide wheel assemblies are provided at each stand 211, and two directional rollers 262 are provided on each guide wheel assembly. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of guide wheel assemblies and the number of directional rollers 262 in each guide wheel assembly can be set according to actual use requirements. It can be understood that the above-mentioned horizontal guide assembly is an exemplary structure, and other structures that can achieve the entry or exit guidance of the ice plate receiving device 1 can also be applied to the present invention, such as a guide plate structure with an inclined guide surface can be provided on the inner side of the stand 211, which will not be described one by one here.

[0138] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the ice board storage device 1 does not shift after entering the ice board storage and access device 2, the ice board storage and access device 2 is also provided with a limiting mechanism 27 for achieving relative fixation between the ice board storage and access device 2 and the ice board storage device 1. In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 27 is arranged on the top of the ice board storage and access device 2, and includes: a limiting member 271, a limiting hole is provided on the limiting member 27, and the limiting column 16 on the ice board storage device 1 can be inserted into the limiting hole; a limiting driving member 272, the fixed end of the limiting driving member 272 is connected to the truss 212, and the driving end of the limiting driving member 272 is connected to the limiting member 271, which is used to drive the limiting member 271 to move in a direction toward the limiting column 16 so that the limiting column 16 is inserted into the limiting hole, or drive the limiting member 271 to move in a direction away from the limiting column 16 so that the limiting column 16 is out of the limiting hole.

[0139] In the present embodiment, the limiting member 271 is a vertically arranged limiting sleeve. This type of limiting mechanism 27 has a simple structure, is easy to set up, and can reliably achieve the connection and limiting between the ice plate receiving device 1 and the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2. However, it is understandable that the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the limiting member 271 can also be other structural forms. In the present embodiment, the limiting member 271 is arranged at the top of the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2. In other embodiments, the limiting member 271 can also be arranged on the stand 211. The present invention does not limit the setting position of the limiting mechanism 27. As long as the matching limiting mechanism 27 and the limiting column 16 can be achieved, for example, a baffle that can be vertically raised or lowered or horizontally extended can be arranged on the side of the mounting frame 21 away from the stop member 25. It will not be described one by one here.

[0140] When the ice board receiving device 1 enters the ice board storage and access device 2 and is stopped by the stopper 25, the limit driving member 272 drives the limit member 271 to descend, so that the limit post 16 in the ice board receiving device 1 is inserted into the limit hole of the limit member 271, so that the ice board receiving device 1 and the ice board storage and access device 2 are relatively fixed. When the ice board receiving device 1 needs to be moved out of the ice board storage and access device 2, the limit driving member 272 drives the limit member 271 to move upward, so that the limit member 272 is separated from the limit post 16.

[0141] In this embodiment, two limiting mechanisms 27 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the truss 212, and the two limiting mechanisms 27 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the length direction of the ice plate receiving device 1. In order to fix the limiting mechanism 27 on the truss 212, a first driving fixing plate 273 is arranged between the two horizontal beams 2121, and the fixed end of the limiting driving member 272 is arranged on the first driving fixing plate 273. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting driving member 272 is a cylinder, and in other embodiments, the limiting driving member 272 can also be a linear motor, an electric push rod, or other structural forms that can realize vertical lifting drive.

[0142] The ice plate pushing mechanism is arranged on the outside of the mounting frame 21, and includes a horizontal pushing drive unit and a pushing plate connected to the driving end of the horizontal pushing drive unit. The pushing plate is arranged opposite to the ice plate inlet and outlet 113, and the pushing plate is located between the horizontal pushing drive unit and the mounting frame 21. The pushing plate can be arranged as a whole along the length direction of the ice plate receiving device 1, or a plurality of pushing plates can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the ice plate receiving device 1; only one horizontal pushing drive unit can be arranged, or a plurality of pushing plates can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pushing plate. The fixed end of the horizontal pushing drive unit is fixed relative to the mounting frame 21, and the ice plate pushing mechanism can be installed by setting a bracket independent of the mounting frame 21, or by setting a bracket connected to the ice plate storage and access device 2 to install and fix the ice plate pushing mechanism. The present invention does not impose specific restrictions on this. In this embodiment, the horizontal pushing drive unit includes a cylinder. In other embodiments, the horizontal pushing drive unit can also adopt a driving structure such as a linear motor or an electric push rod, which will not be repeated here.

[0143] The stacking operation process of the ice plate stacking and delivery system for ice plates is as follows: when the ice plate receiving device 1 is pushed in to abut against the stopper 25 of the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2, the limiting mechanism 27 is actuated to make the limiting member 271 descend until the limiting column 16 is inserted into the limiting hole; the pallet lifting mechanism 22 is actuated to drive the lifting pallet 12 to rise to be flush with the lower edge of the ice plate inlet and outlet 113; the ice plate pushing mechanism is actuated to push a row of ice plates on the external ice plate conveyor line through the ice plate inlet and outlet 113 onto the lifting pallet 12; the pallet lifting mechanism 22 is actuated to lower the lifting pallet 12 by a preset distance so that the upper surface of the uppermost ice plate on the lifting pallet 12 is aligned with the ice plate inlet and outlet The lower edge of the opening 113 is flush; the ice plate pushing mechanism pushes the ice plates that have moved to the ice plate stacking area onto the uppermost ice plate located on the lifting tray 12; the lifting tray 12 is lowered by a preset distance and the ice plate pushing mechanism acts as an ice plate pushing mechanism until the lifting tray 12 is located on the bottom frame of the ice plate receiving device 1, indicating that the ice plate receiving device 1 is full of ice plates, and when the ice plate receiving device 1 is full of ice plates, the upper surface of the uppermost ice plate is slightly lower than the lower edge of the ice plate inlet and outlet 113; the limiting mechanism 27 on the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2 is actuated to disconnect the ice plate receiving device 1 from the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2, and the ice plate receiving device 1 is manually pushed out to other processes.

Figure 10-12 As shown, the structure of the ice plate storage and retrieval device provided in this embodiment is basically the same as the structure of the ice plate storage and retrieval device in Example 2. The difference is that the ice plate pushing mechanism provided in this embodiment is used to push the ice plate in the ice plate receiving device from the receiving frame through the ice plate inlet and outlet to the outside. This embodiment will no longer repeat the same contents as Example 1.

[0148] Specifically, the ice plate pushing mechanism 28 provided in this embodiment includes a horizontally arranged pushing plate 281 and a horizontal pushing driving unit 282 for driving the pushing plate 281 to move horizontally. The fixed end of the horizontal pushing driving unit 282 is connected to the truss 212, and the driving end of the horizontal pushing driving unit 282 faces the side of the mounting frame 21 where the stopper 25 is arranged.

[0149] In this embodiment, the horizontal push drive unit 282 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, the horizontal push drive unit 282 can also be a structure that can realize horizontal linear drive, such as a linear motor, an oil cylinder, an electric push rod, etc. In this embodiment, a plurality of horizontal push drive units 282 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the truss 212 to improve the pushing efficiency and pushing reliability of the ice plate on the lifting pallet 12. Furthermore, a plurality of push plates 281 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the truss 212, and the number of push plates 281 is the same as the number of horizontal push drive units 282 to realize the separate pushing of local ice plates. In other embodiments, the push plate 281 can also be set as a whole along the length direction of the truss 212.

[0150] In order to prevent the setting of the ice plate pushing mechanism 28 from affecting the ice plate receiving device 1 from entering or exiting the interior of the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2, preferably, the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2 is further provided with a pushing and lifting mechanism 29 for driving the ice plate pushing mechanism 28 to vertically rise and fall. Specifically, the pushing and lifting mechanism 29 includes a lifting connection member 291 and a pushing and lifting driving member 292 for driving the lifting connection member 291 to vertically rise and fall, the fixed end of the pushing and lifting driving member 292 is connected to the mounting frame 21, the driving end of the pushing and lifting driving member 292 is connected to the lifting connection member 291, and the fixed end of the horizontal pushing driving unit 282 is provided on the lifting connection member 291.

[0151] In this embodiment, the lifting connection 291 is a horizontally arranged plate-shaped structure, the push lifting drive 292 is vertically arranged above the lifting connection 291 and connected to the truss 212 through the second drive mounting plate 293, and the horizontal push drive unit 282 is fixed below the lifting connection 291. Furthermore, multiple horizontal push drive units 282 are fixed on the same lifting connection 291, and the lifting connection 291 is provided with a push lifting drive 292 at both ends in the length direction, so as to improve the lifting stability of the ice plate pushing mechanism 28.

[0152] Furthermore, the ice plate storage and retrieval device 2 is also provided with a push-lift guide assembly 210 for guiding the lifting connection member 291. In this embodiment, the push-lift guide assembly 210 includes a linear bearing 2101 fixed above the second drive mounting plate 293 and a guide rod 2102 vertically inserted in the linear bearing 2101 and connected to the lifting connection member 291 at the lower end.

[0153] In this embodiment, the ice plate pushing mechanism 28 is arranged below the truss 212, and the pushing lifting guide assembly 210 is in the form of a linear bearing 2101 and a guide rod 2102. This arrangement is conducive to hiding the ice plate pushing mechanism 28 inside the mounting frame 21 to protect the ice plate pushing mechanism 28. However, it can be understood that the ice plate pushing mechanism 28 can also be located at the side of the mounting frame 21, and the pushing lifting guide assembly 210 can also be in the form of a linear guide structure, which will not be repeated here.

[0154] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the ice plate pushed out by the ice plate pushing mechanism 28 to fall into the target container or target position more accurately, the ice plate storage and retrieval device also includes a drop guide 220 for guiding the pushed out ice plate to drop. The drop guide 220 is arranged on the outside of the mounting frame 21 and is located below the ice plate inlet and outlet, and the driving end of the horizontal pushing drive unit 282 is facing the drop guide 220. The drop guide 220 is provided with a drop chute 2201 for the ice plate to drop.

[0155] In this embodiment, the material dropping guide 220 includes a material dropping base plate 2202 which is inclined downward in a direction away from the mounting frame 21 and material dropping baffles 2203 which are arranged on opposite sides of the material dropping base plate 2202. The two material dropping baffles 2203 and the material dropping base plate 2202 together form a material dropping chute 2201, and the upper end opening of the material dropping chute 2201 is opposite to the inlet and outlet of the ice plate.

[0156] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the upper opening of the blanking chute 2201 is greater than the width of the lower opening, so that the ice plates falling out of the upper opening of the blanking chute 2201 can be gathered, which is more conducive to delivering multiple ice plates into the same target container.

[0157] In this embodiment, two blanking guides 220 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the mounting frame 21, and the upper edges of the blanking bottom plates 2202 of the two blanking guides 220 are spliced ​​to prevent the ice sheet from being stuck between the two blanking guides 220. In other embodiments, multiple blanking guides 220 may be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting frame 21, and the number of blanking guides 31 may be specifically set according to the demand for ice sheet delivery.

[0158] It is understandable that when it is necessary to deliver multiple ice slabs into the same target container, it is not necessary to set up the drop guide 220. For example, when pushing the ice slabs onto the conveyor line, the conveyor line can be directly aligned with the ice slab inlet and outlet, and the ice slabs can be pushed from the ice slab inlet and outlet 113 to the conveyor line through the ice slab pushing mechanism 28.

[0159] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the blanking guide 220, a mounting rod 230 is provided on the mounting frame 21 and is spanned between the two vertical frames 211. The mounting rod 230 is a U-shaped structure, and the two ends of the mounting rod 230 are respectively connected to one side of the two vertical frames 211 where the stop members 25 are provided, and the blanking guide 220 and the mounting rod 230 are detachably connected.

[0160] The ice board stacking and delivery system performs the following operation on the delivery of ice boards: when the ice board receiving device and the ice board storage and retrieval device 2 are installed in place, the pallet lifting mechanism 22 drives the lifting pallet 12 to rise, so that the ice board at the top layer of the lifting pallet 12 is aligned with the ice board inlet and outlet 113; the pushing lifting mechanism 29 drives the ice board pushing mechanism 28 to descend, so that the pushing plate 281 is aligned with the top layer of the ice board; the ice board pushing mechanism 28 is actuated to push the ice board out of the ice board receiving device from the ice board inlet and outlet 113 and drop it into the ice board receiving device; when all the ice boards at the top layer of the lifting pallet 12 are pushed out, the pallet lifting mechanism 22 drives the lifting pallet 12 to rise, so that the ice board currently at the top layer of the lifting pallet 12 is flush with the ice board inlet and outlet 113, and repeats the ice board delivery action and the lifting pallet 12 lifting action until all the ice boards in the ice board receiving device 1 are delivered.

[0161] The ice board stacking and delivery system and ice board delivery method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, by providing an ice board receiving device and an ice board storage and retrieval device, can drive the lifting and lowering pallet in the ice board receiving device to vertically rise and fall through the pallet lifting mechanism in the ice board storage and retrieval device, and push the ice boards into the ice board receiving device through the ice board inlet and outlet through the ice board pushing mechanism, thereby realizing the layer-by-layer delivery of ice boards, improving the efficiency of ice board delivery, and improving the convenience of ice board reuse.

[0165] The ice plate collection system provided in the present embodiment transmits the insulated box 50 carrying the ice plates 60 to the location of the ice pouring device 6 through the insulated box conveyor line 4, and pours the ice plates 60 in the insulated box 50 onto the ice plate conveyor line 5 through the ice pouring device 6, and then transmits the ice plates 60 to the ice plate receiving device 1 through the ice plate conveyor line 5 for recycling. The ice plates 60 recovered by the ice plate receiving device 1 can be sent to the cold storage for refreezing; therefore, the ice plate collection system provided in the present embodiment can realize the automatic collection of the ice plates 60, reduce the manual participation in the collection process of the ice plates 60, improve the collection efficiency of the ice plates 60, and reduce the labor intensity of collecting the ice plates 60.

[0168] In the present embodiment, the insulated box input conveyor line 41 is an "I"-shaped conveyor line, and the ice pouring area is arranged at the end of the insulated box input conveyor line 41. In other embodiments, the insulated box input conveyor line 41 may also be a "U"-shaped conveyor line, and the ice pouring area is arranged at a vertical side of the "U"-shaped conveyor line, so as to increase the ice pouring efficiency while reducing the space occupied by the insulated box input conveyor line 41.

[0169] Fig.14 for Fig.13 The local enlarged picture of K in the middle is as follows: Fig.14 As shown, in this embodiment, the ice pouring device 6 includes: a support frame 61; an ice pouring shaft 62, which is arranged along the length direction of the ice pouring area, and both ends of the ice pouring shaft 62 are rotatably connected to the support frame 61; a clamping mechanism 63, which is connected to the ice pouring shaft 62, and the clamping mechanism 63 is used to clamp the side wall of the insulated box 50; an ice pouring rotation drive mechanism 64, which is connected to the ice pouring shaft 62 and is used to drive the ice pouring shaft 62 to rotate.

[0170] The clamping mechanism 63 includes a fixed plate 631, a movable plate 632, and a clamping driving unit 633 for driving the movable plate 632 to slide relative to the fixed plate 631. The fixed plate 631 includes a fixed connection portion 6311 and a fixed clamping portion 6312 connected vertically, the fixed connection portion 6311 is connected to the ice pouring shaft 62, and the fixed clamping portion 6312 is used to fit with the side wall of the insulated box 50; the movable plate 632 includes a movable clamping portion 6321 arranged parallel to and opposite to the fixed clamping portion 6312, and the movable clamping portion 6321 is used to fit with the other side wall of the insulated box 50; the clamping driving unit 633 is arranged on the fixed connection portion 6311, and the clamping driving unit 633 drives the movable clamping portion 6321 to move in a direction close to or away from the fixed clamping portion 6312, and adjusts the distance between the fixed clamping portion 6312 and the movable clamping portion 6321, so as to achieve the clamping or loosening of the side wall of the insulated box 50.

[0171] In this embodiment, the clamping drive unit 633 includes a cylinder, the cylinder body of the cylinder is fixed on the fixed connection part 6311, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the moving plate 632. In other embodiments, the clamping drive unit 633 can also be a linear push rod, a rotary motor with a gear rack or a screw nut mechanism, etc., as long as the linear motion of the driving end of the clamping drive unit 633 can be achieved.

[0172] Furthermore, the ice pouring device 6 also includes a clamping guide assembly 65 for guiding the movement of the movable plate 632, and the movable plate 632 also includes a guide portion 6322 vertically connected to the movable clamping portion 6321, the guide portion 6322 is opposite to and spaced from the fixed connection portion 6311, and the clamping guide assembly 65 is arranged between the fixed connection portion 6311 and the guide portion 6322. The clamping guide assembly 65 can be a linear guide mechanism or other existing guide mechanisms capable of achieving linear motion, which will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, two clamping guide assemblies 65 are provided, and the two clamping guide assemblies 65 are respectively located on opposite sides of the clamping drive unit 633 to improve the guiding stability.

[0173] When the insulated box 50 has not moved to the position required for pouring ice by the ice pouring device 6, the movable plate 632 of the clamping mechanism 63 is located above the ice pouring shaft 62, so as to prevent the clamping mechanism 63 from interfering with the transmission of the insulated box 50, and at this time, the distance between the movable clamping part 6321 and the fixed clamping part 6312 is greater than the thickness of the corresponding side of the insulated box 50; when the insulated box 50 moves to the position required for pouring ice by the ice pouring device 6, the ice pouring rotation drive mechanism 64 drives the ice pouring shaft 62 to rotate, so that the clamping mechanism 63 flips downward until the fixed clamping part 6312 is vertical; the clamping drive unit 633 is actuated to drive the movable clamping part 6321 to move toward the fixed clamping part 6312, so that the movable clamping part 6321 and the fixed clamping part 6312 are respectively aligned with the corresponding sides of the insulated box 50. Abut and cooperate with clamping; the ice pouring rotary drive mechanism 64 is actuated to drive the ice pouring shaft 62 to rotate, driving the clamping mechanism 63 and the insulated box 50 to flip over to the opening of the insulated box 50 facing downward, and the ice plate 60 is poured out from the upper end opening of the insulated box 50 onto the ice plate conveyor line 5; after the ice plate 60 is poured out, the ice pouring rotary drive mechanism 64 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the ice pouring shaft 62 to rotate in the opposite direction, and driving the insulated box 50 to fall back to the position where the opening faces upward through the clamping mechanism 63; the clamping mechanism 63 is actuated to move the movable clamping part 6321 in a direction away from the fixed clamping part 6312, so that the clamping mechanism 63 releases the insulated box 50; the ice pouring rotary drive mechanism 64 drives the ice pouring shaft 62 to rotate, so that the clamping mechanism 63 is in an initial position where it does not interfere with the insulated box 50.

[0174] In this embodiment, the side of the insulated box 50 where the clamping mechanism 63 is located is the side where the flap 501 of the insulated box 50 is located after it is flipped over. The clamping mechanism 63 clamps the flap 501 and the corresponding sides of the box body 502 at the same time to prevent the flap 501 from rotating relative to the box body 502 during the flipping of the insulated box 50 and affecting the pouring out of the ice plate 60.

[0175] Preferably, in order to reduce costs, the multiple incubators 50 in the ice pouring area are divided into several groups, each group of incubators 50 includes several incubators 50, and the ice pouring devices 6 corresponding to each group of incubators 50 share an ice pouring rotating shaft 62 and an ice pouring rotating driving mechanism 64. In this embodiment, there are four groups of incubators 50 in the ice pouring area, and each group of incubators 50 includes two incubators 50. In other embodiments, the number of groups of incubators 50 and the number of incubators 50 in each group can be set according to needs.

[0176] When the incubator 50 is transported at the front end of the incubator input conveyor line 41, two adjacent incubators 50 are arranged at intervals. A stop device is provided in the ice pouring area, and the stop devices are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the ice pouring area, and the number of the stop devices is the same as the number of groups of incubators 50. By arranging the stop device on the ice pouring area, the incubators 50 are grouped, and the incubators 50 in the same group are arranged close to each other, and there is a gap between two adjacent groups of incubators 50, which is conducive to setting the support frame 61 between the two adjacent groups of incubators 50. The stop device is a conventional setting in the art and will not be described here.

[0177] In this embodiment, the support frame 61 is an inverted U-shaped structure, and the support frame 61 is arranged across the incubator conveyor line 4, and each group of ice pouring devices 6 is provided with support frames 61 on both sides along the length direction of the incubator input conveyor line 41. This arrangement improves the compactness of the structure and the stability of the ice pouring device 6, and is conducive to limiting the flipping of the incubator 50, preventing the incubator 50 from interfering with another group of incubators 50 during the flipping process.

[0178] like Fig.13 As shown, in order to recycle or reuse the insulated box 50 with the ice plate 60 poured out, the insulated box conveyor line 4 also includes an insulated box output conveyor line 43, which is used to receive the empty insulated boxes 50 and output the insulated boxes 50.

[0179] In order to better separate the ice pouring action of the ice pouring device 6 from the transmission action of the incubator 50 and improve the operation continuity of the incubator input conveyor line 41 and the incubator output conveyor line 43, preferably, the ice plate collection system also includes a buffer platform 42 and a transfer device 7 arranged side by side with the ice pouring area, the buffer platform 42 is located between the incubator input conveyor line 41 and the incubator output conveyor line 43, and the transfer device 7 is used to transfer the incubator 50 from the incubator input conveyor line 41 to the buffer platform 42 and to transfer the incubator 50 on the buffer platform 42 to the incubator output conveyor line 43. By providing the buffer platform 42, the incubator 50 is kept stationary after being transferred to the buffer platform 42, so as to ensure that the ice pouring device 6 can move more accurately, and at the same time, the incubator input conveyor line 41 can continue to move to transfer the incubator 50 to the ice pouring area, and the incubator output conveyor line 43 can synchronously move to transport the incubator 50 to the reuse or recycling position.

[0180] Fig.17 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transfer device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Fig.18 is a partial structural schematic diagram of a transfer device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Fig.19 yes Fig.18 The schematic diagram of the structure after removing the side beams is shown in the figure below. Figure 17-Figure 19As shown, both the incubator input conveyor line 41 and the incubator output conveyor line 43 are roller conveyor lines, which include a plurality of transmission rollers 44 arranged side by side along the length direction thereof and side beams 45 arranged along the length direction thereof and located at opposite ends of the transmission rollers 44, and both ends of each transmission roller 44 are rotatably connected to the side beams 45. The transfer device 7 includes a conveyor belt assembly 71 and a transfer lifting assembly 72, wherein the conveyor belt assembly 71 is used to drive the incubator 50 to move in a direction perpendicular to the roller conveyor line, and the transfer lifting assembly 72 is used to drive the conveyor belt assembly 71 to rise and the incubator 50 to be separated from the roller conveyor line or to drive the conveyor belt assembly 71 to descend so as to place the incubator 50 on the roller conveyor line.

[0181] Specifically, the conveyor belt assembly 71 includes two synchronous pulleys 713 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the transmission roller 44, an endless belt 711 wound around the synchronous pulleys 713, and a transfer drive unit for driving the endless belt 711 to rotate. The length direction of the endless belt 711 is consistent with the length direction of the transmission roller 44, and a plurality of endless belts 711 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the transmission roller conveyor belt, and each endless belt 711 is arranged between two adjacent transmission rollers 44.

[0182] When the transfer device 7 is in a non-working state, the upper surface of the annular belt 711 is lower than the upper surface of the transmission roller 44, and the thermal insulation box 50 is transmitted on the transmission belt of the transmission roller 44; when the transfer device 7 is required to transfer, the transfer lifting assembly 72 drives the annular belt 711 to rise, so that the upper surface of the annular belt 711 is higher than the upper surface of the transmission roller 44, and the thermal insulation box 50 is separated from the transmission roller 44 and is driven by the annular belt 711 to be transmitted in a direction perpendicular to the roller conveyor line.

[0183] In order to reduce the cost and reduce the overall volume and weight of the transfer device 7, multiple annular belts 711 share a transfer drive unit. Preferably, in this embodiment, the transfer drive unit is an electric roller 712, the length direction of the electric roller 712 is perpendicular to the length direction of the annular belt 711, and the electric roller 712 is in contact with the outer surface of the synchronous pulley 713, and the rotation of the electric roller 712 drives the synchronous belt to rotate. By setting the transfer drive unit as the electric roller 712, it is possible to achieve the synchronous rotation of multiple annular belts 711 while avoiding the need to set up an additional transmission structure. The structure is compact, the cost is low, and the overall volume of the transfer device 7 can be reduced. In other embodiments, the synchronous transmission of multiple annular belts 711 can also be achieved by using a motor in conjunction with a synchronous shaft and a synchronous wheel, which will not be described one by one here.

[0184] In order to improve the driving effect of the electric roller 712 on the endless belt 711, preferably, the electric roller 712 is arranged close to one of the synchronous pulleys 713, and one end of the endless belt 711 provided with the electric roller 712 is provided with two synchronous pulleys 713 side by side along its height direction, and the endless belt 711 passes around the two synchronous pulleys 713 in sequence, and the synchronous pulley 713 located on the upper side is at the same height as the synchronous pulley 713 at the other end of the endless belt 711. This arrangement can increase the contact area between the driving transmission roller 44 and the endless belt 711, thereby improving the driving reliability of the electric roller 712 on the endless belt 711.

[0185] In this embodiment, belt baffles 714 are provided on opposite sides of the endless belt 711 along its width direction, the endless belt 711 is sandwiched between the two belt baffles 714, and both ends of the synchronous pulley 713 are pivotally connected to the corresponding two belt baffles 714. The belt baffles 714 can protect the endless belt 711 and facilitate the connection between the endless belt 711 and the transfer and lifting assembly 72.

[0186] In this embodiment, the transfer and lifting assembly 72 includes a connecting rod 721 arranged below the circular belt 711 along the length direction of the circular belt 711, an articulated seat 722 hinged to the connecting rod 721 through a first articulated shaft 725, a fixed seat 723 fixed relative to the conveyor line side beam 45, and a telescopic driving member 724; the articulated seat 722 and the fixed seat 723 are articulated through a second articulated shaft 726, and the articulated seat 722 and the fixed seat 723 are articulated through a third articulated shaft 727, and the length directions of the first articulated shaft 725, the second articulated shaft 726 and the third articulated shaft 727 are all perpendicular to the length direction of the circular belt 711; the fixed portion of the telescopic driving member 724 is fixed relative to the side beam 45, the telescopic direction of the telescopic driving member 724 is the same as the length direction of the circular belt 711, and the driving end of the telescopic driving member 724 is articulated to the connecting rod 721.

[0187] by Fig.19 Taking the direction shown as an example, with the above arrangement, when it is necessary to raise the conveyor belt assembly 71, the driving end of the telescopic driving member 724 extends out to drive the connecting rod 721 to move to the right; since the connecting rod 721 is hinged to the articulated seat 722, and the articulated seat 722 is articulated to the fixed seat 723, the articulated seat 722 cannot move to the right with the connecting rod 721, so that the articulated seat 722 rotates counterclockwise around the second articulated seat 726 relative to the fixed seat 723, and the connecting rod 721 rotates relative to the articulated seat 722 around the first articulated shaft 725 while moving to the right; the rotation of the articulated seat 722 drives the third articulated shaft 727 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby raising the conveyor belt assembly 71 as a whole; when it is necessary to lower the conveyor belt assembly 71, the driving end of the telescopic driving member 724 retracts. This process is opposite to the process of raising the conveyor belt assembly 71, and the principle is the same, which will not be repeated here.

[0188] In order to enable the transfer and lifting assembly 72 to simultaneously drive the multiple endless belts 711 to rise and fall, the multiple endless belts 711 are connected by a connecting rod 729, and the connecting rod 729 extends in a length direction perpendicular to the endless belts 711. A connecting seat 74 is fixed below the connecting rod 729, and the connecting seat 74 is hinged to the hinge seat 722 through a third hinge shaft 727.

[0189] In order to improve the stability of the lifting of the endless belt 711, both ends of the connecting rod 721 are provided with an articulated seat 722, and correspondingly, two connecting rods 729 are provided. Both ends of the electric roller 712 are provided with a support seat 715, and the support seat 715 is connected to a connecting rod 729 close thereto. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the rotation of the articulated seat 722 from driving the electric roller 712 and the endless belt 711 to move along the length direction of the endless belt 711, the transfer lifting assembly 72 also includes a lifting guide structure, and the setting of the lifting guide structure can adopt the setting of the existing structure, which will not be repeated here.

[0190] In this embodiment, two connecting rods 721 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the connecting rod 729, and a connecting plate 728 is connected between the two connecting rods 721. A connecting piece is arranged on the connecting plate 728, and the lower end of the connecting piece is fixed to the connecting plate 728, and the upper end of the connecting piece is hinged to the driving end of the telescopic driving member 724. Thus, one telescopic driving member 724 drives two connecting rods 721 to move at the same time, thereby improving the lifting stability and reliability of the multiple endless belts 711. In other embodiments, the number of connecting rods 721 can also be three or more.

[0191] In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the articulated seat 722 is a triangular structure, and the first articulated axis 725, the second articulated axis 726, and the third articulated axis 727 are respectively located at the three corners of the articulated seat 722. This articulated seat 722 has a simple structure and can reduce the interference with the surrounding structure during the rotation of the articulated seat 722. In other embodiments, the articulated seat 722 can also be other shapes, as long as the first articulated axis 725, the second articulated axis 726, and the third articulated axis 727 are distributed in a triangle.

[0192] In this embodiment, since the transfer device 7 is arranged across the incubator input conveyor line 41 and the incubator output conveyor line 43, the fixed seat 723 of the connecting rod 721 close to the incubator input conveyor line 41 can be connected to the input side beam 411 outside the incubator input conveyor line 41, and the fixed seat 723 of the connecting rod 721 close to the incubator output conveyor line 43 can be connected to the output side beam 431 of the incubator output conveyor line 43 away from the incubator input conveyor line 41. In order to fix the telescopic driving member 724, a fixed beam 73 fixed to the side beam 45 is arranged above the connecting rod 721, and the length direction of the fixed beam 73 is the same as the length direction of the side beam 45, and the fixed beam 73 is located below the transmission roller 44. In other embodiments, a beam structure connected to the side beam 45 may be provided to connect the fixing seat, or the telescopic drive member 724 may be directly fixed to the inner side beam 45 of the insulated box input conveyor line 41 or the insulated box output conveyor line 43. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on this, as long as the fixed ends of the fixing seat 723 and the telescopic drive member 724 can be fixed relative to the side beam 45.

[0193] like Fig.13 As shown, in this embodiment, one transfer device 7 is provided for each group of insulation boxes 50, so as to achieve synchronous transmission of two insulation boxes 50 in each group of insulation boxes 50 and reduce the installation cost. In other embodiments, one transfer device 7 may be provided for each insulation box 50.

[0194] In order to ensure that the ice slab 60 poured out of the insulated box 50 can accurately fall onto the ice slab conveyor line 5, an ice collecting hopper 10 is further arranged above the ice slab conveyor line 5. The ice collecting hopper 10 has an expanded end 101 with an expanded opening at the upper end, and the uppermost opening is larger than the size of the ice slab 60, so as to prevent the ice slab 60 from being thrown out of the ice collecting hopper 10 during the turning process of the insulated box 50. The lower end of the ice collecting hopper 10 is arranged directly opposite to the ice slab conveyor line 5, so as to accurately drop the ice slab 60 recovered by the ice collecting hopper 10 onto the ice slab conveyor line 5. Furthermore, the lower end of the ice collecting hopper 10 has a guide end 102, and the caliber of the guide end 102 along the height direction is the same, so as to improve the accuracy of the ice slab 60 falling into the ice slab conveyor line 5.

[0195] In order to neatly stack the recovered ice plates 60, the ice plate conveyor line 5 includes a first ice plate conveyor line 51 located below the ice collection funnel 10, a lifting and separation conveyor line 52 for lifting and separating the ice plates 60, and a third ice plate conveyor line 53 for conveying the ice plates 60 to the ice plate receiving device 1, wherein the lower end of the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 is connected to the end of the first ice plate conveyor line 51, and the upper end of the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 is connected to the front end of the second ice plate conveyor line 53.

[0196] Fig.15 yes Fig.13The partial enlarged view at L in the middle, as shown in 15, the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 includes a conveyor belt body and partition plates 523 arranged on the conveyor belt 522 at intervals along the length direction of the conveyor belt body, the partition plates 523 are vertically connected to the conveyor belt 522, and the height of the partition plates 523 protruding from the conveyor belt 522 is less than the sum of the thicknesses of the two ice plates 60, the distance between two adjacent partition plates 523 is greater than the length of the longest side of the ice plate 60 and less than the sum of the lengths of the shortest sides of the two ice plates 60, and the width of the conveyor belt 522 is slightly greater than the length of the longest side of the ice plate 60. This arrangement allows only one ice plate 60 to be stored between two adjacent partition plates 523, thereby preventing the ice plates 60 from piling up in the same place. At the same time, since one side of the ice plate 60 rests against the partition plate 523 under the action of gravity during the lifting process of the ice plate 60, it can ensure that one side of the ice plate 60 entering the second ice plate conveyor line 53 is parallel to the length direction of the second ice plate conveyor line 53, thereby improving the regularity of the discharge of the ice plates 60 on the second ice plate conveyor line 53.

[0197] To ensure that the ice plate 60 on the first ice plate conveyor line 51 accurately falls onto the lifting and separation conveyor line 52, the lower end of the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 is lower than the first ice plate conveyor line 515, and the lower end of the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 extends under the first ice plate conveyor line 51, and the minimum distance between the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 and the conveyor belt 522 is slightly larger than the height of the partition plate 523 to prevent the ice plate 60 from falling out of the gap between the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 and the first ice plate conveyor line 51 when it is not received by the partition plate 523.

[0198] Furthermore, the lower ends of the two conveying beams 521 of the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 are each provided with a material dropping guide 524, the material dropping guide 524 includes a fixed portion perpendicular to the conveying beam 521 and a guide portion inclined relative to the fixed portion, the guide portion extends in a direction away from the conveying beam 521 toward a direction away from the other conveying beam 521, so that the two guide portions are in a flared state at the upper ends, thereby guiding the ice plate 60 to enter the lifting and separation conveyor line 52.

[0199] Since the lifting and separation conveyor line 52 can only ensure that one side entering the second ice plate conveyor line 53 is transmitted in the transmission direction of the second ice plate conveyor line 53, it cannot ensure that the short side or long side of each ice plate 60 is parallel to the transmission direction of the second ice plate conveyor line 53. Therefore, a visual detection device 30 and an ice plate reversing mechanism 40 are provided on the second ice plate conveyor line 53. The visual detection device 30 detects the posture of the ice plate 60. When the short side (or long side) of the ice plate 60 is parallel to the transmission direction of the second ice plate conveyor line 53, the ice plate reversing mechanism 40 does not operate; when the long side (or short side) of the ice plate 60 detected by the visual detection device 30 is parallel to the transmission direction of the second ice plate conveyor line 53, the ice plate reversing mechanism 40 rotates the ice plate 60 by 90°. That is, the visual inspection device 30 and the ice plate reversing mechanism 40 ensure that the ice plates 60 transported to the end of the second ice plate conveying line 535 all have short sides or long sides parallel to the direction of the second ice plate conveying line 535, thereby ensuring the consistency of the ice plates 60 entering the ice plate receiving device 1.

[0200] In this embodiment, the visual inspection device 30 is a camera, and the ice plate reversing mechanism 40 is a ball reversing mechanism. The structures of the visual inspection device 30 and the ice plate reversing mechanism 40 are conventional settings in the field and will not be described again here.

[0201] An ice plate stacking area is provided at the end of the second ice plate conveyor line 53. To improve the stacking efficiency of the ice plates 60, multiple ice plates 60 may be provided in the ice plate stacking area along the length direction of the second ice plate conveyor line 53, so that multiple ice plates 60 can be stacked simultaneously, thereby improving the recycling efficiency of the ice plates 60. Preferably, a stop device is provided at the end of the ice plate stacking area, so that the ice plates 60 stay in the ice plate stacking area next to the ice plates 60, thereby increasing the number of ice plates 60 that can be accommodated in the ice plate stacking area, preventing the ice plates 60 from shifting to the left or right during the stacking process, and improving the reliability of the stacking of the ice plates 60.

[0202] In this embodiment, the insulated box 50 transported by the insulated box output conveyor line 43 is used to add ice slabs 60 again, that is, an ice adding area is provided on the insulated box output conveyor line 43, and an ice adding system for adding ice slabs 60 into the insulated box 50 is provided on one side of the ice adding area. The ice adding system includes an ice adding conveyor line 20 perpendicular to the insulated box 50 output conveyor line, the end of the ice adding conveyor line 20 is connected to the insulated box 50 output conveyor line, and the front end of the ice adding conveyor line 20 is provided with a second ice slab stacking and delivery system, and the second ice slab stacking and delivery system is used to deliver ice slabs onto the ice adding conveyor line 20.

[0203] In this embodiment, the second ice plate stacking and delivery system adopts the ice plate stacking and delivery system in the second embodiment, and the ice plate delivery device 2 may not be provided with a material drop guide. In other embodiments, the ice adding system may also only include a second ice plate stacking and delivery system with a material drop guide, and the ice plates 60 in the ice plate receiving device 1 are directly pushed into the insulated box 50 through the guidance of the material drop guide.

[0204] Further, Fig.16 yes Figure 1 The local enlarged view of M in the figure is as follows: Fig.16 As shown, the thermal insulation box output conveyor line 43 is provided with a cover opening device 8 and a cover closing device 9 in sequence downstream of the ice adding area. The cover opening device 8 is used to open the flip cover 501 of the thermal insulation box 50 to a preset angle relative to the outer wall of the thermal insulation box 50, and the cover closing device 9 is used to flip the flip cover 501 to the upper opening of the thermal insulation box 50.

The disc brush 82 abuts against the flap 501 of the heat preservation box 50, and the bristles of the disc brush 82 can partially extend under the flap 501. The cover opening drive motor drives the cover opening shaft 81 to rotate, so that the disc brush 82 rotates, so that the flap 501 is flipped to a certain angle under the friction between the disc brush 82 and the flap 501.

[0206] The lid closing device 9 includes a first guide rod 91 and a second guide rod 92 arranged on one side of the upper surface of the insulation box output conveyor line 43. The first guide rod 91 includes a first rod segment 912, a second rod segment 913, a third rod segment 914 and a fourth rod segment 915 which are connected in sequence along the conveying direction of the insulation box output conveyor line 43. The front end of the first rod segment 912 has a plug 911 that can be inserted between the flip cover 501 and the box body 502. The front end height of the second rod segment 913 is lower than the rear end height of the second rod segment 913. The third rod segment 914 extends upward along the conveying direction of the insulation box output conveyor line 43 and toward the direction close to the other output side beam 431.

[0207] The second guide rod 92 includes a fifth rod segment 921, a sixth rod segment 922 and a seventh rod segment 923 which are connected in sequence along the conveying direction of the insulated box output conveyor line 43. The front end of the fifth rod segment 921 is connected to the first rod segment 912, and the distance between the projections of the fifth rod segment 921 and the second rod segment 913 on the upper surface of the insulated box output conveyor line 43 gradually increases. The front end height of the fifth rod segment 921 and / or the sixth rod segment 922 is smaller than the rear end height. The projections of the sixth rod segment 922 and the fourth rod segment 915 on the upper surface of the insulated box output conveyor line 43 are cross-arranged. The projection of the fourth rod segment 915 on the insulated box output conveyor line 43 is located between the projection of the seventh rod segment 923 on the insulated box output conveyor line 43 and the output side beam 431 on the installation side. The fourth rod segment 915 is higher than the seventh rod segment 923.

[0208] In order to improve the connection convenience and connection reliability between the first guide rod 91 and the second guide rod 92 and the corresponding output side beam 431, an eighth rod segment 916 is arranged between the first rod segment 912 and the second rod segment 913, the front end height of the eighth rod segment 916 is higher than the rear end height, and the projection of the eighth rod segment 916 on the insulation box output conveying line 43 is located on the output side beam 431, and the eighth rod segment 916 and the output side beam 916 are connected by a vertically arranged first vertical support rod 93. The front end of the fifth rod segment 921 is connected to the ninth rod segment 924, the projection of the ninth rod segment 924 on the insulation box output conveying line 43 is located on the output side beam 431, and the front end of the ninth rod segment 924 is connected to the front end of the eighth rod segment 916, and the rear end of the ninth rod segment 924 is supported on the output side beam 431 through the second vertical support rod 94.

[0209] In this arrangement, when the flap 501 of the heat preservation box 50 is opened to a certain angle by the cover opening device 8, the wedge plug 911 can be inserted into the gap between the flap 501 and the box body 502; as the heat preservation box 50 continues to be transported, the rod segments of the first guide rod 91 and the second guide rod 92 are inserted into the gap between the flap 501 and the box body 502 in sequence; as the gap between the second rod segment 913 and the fifth rod segment 921 gradually increases, the angle at which the flap 501 is opened relative to the side wall of the box body 502 increases; at the same time, as the first guide rod 91 and the second guide rod 92 are gradually raised, the angle at which the flap 501 is opened relative to the side wall of the box body 502 continues to increase; when When the insulated box 50 runs to the position of the third rod segment 914, since the third rod segment 914 extends in the direction away from the output side beam 431, and the heights of the fourth rod segment 915 and the seventh rod segment 923 are higher than the height of the box body 502, the fourth rod segment 915 is located above the seventh rod segment 923, and the projection of the seventh rod segment 923 on the insulated box output conveyor line 43 is located between the projection of the fourth rod segment 915 on the insulated box output conveyor line 43 and the corresponding output side beam 431, the flap 501 is flipped and snapped into the upper opening of the box body 502 under the action of the fourth rod segment 915 and the seventh rod segment 923, thereby realizing the closing action of the flap 501.

[0210] It is understandable that the cover opening device 8 and the cover closing device 9 provided in this embodiment are only exemplary structures, and any cover closing device 9 in the prior art that can realize the snapping of the flip cover 501 on the box body 502 can be applied to the present invention, and will not be described in detail here. The closed insulation box 50 is output to the next process by the insulation box output conveyor line 43, and will not be described in detail here.
