Technical Field

[0001] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of fresh food logistics distribution equipment, and in particular to an ice plate conveyor line and an ice plate automatic processing system. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure that fresh products do not deteriorate during the logistics and distribution process, existing fresh product logistics and distribution equipment usually uses an insulated box with ice plates for storage and distribution. After such an insulated box has been used for a period of time, the ice plates in the insulated box will melt due to being in the outdoor environment for a long time, and the ice plates need to be taken out and recycled for storage so that they can be refrozen and used again. However, the existing ice plate removal and ice plate sorting and storage operations are all done manually, which increases labor costs and has low operating efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] A main purpose of the present invention is to provide an ice plate conveying line, which can sort the ice plates during the ice plate conveying process to facilitate stacking and storage.

[0004] Another main purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic ice plate processing system, including the above-mentioned ice plate conveyor line, which can automatically recycle and sort the ice plates, thereby reducing labor costs and improving operating efficiency.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention object, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an ice plate conveyor line, comprising a first conveyor assembly and a shift rod, the first conveyor assembly comprising a first conveyor line body and a first guide bar, the first conveyor line body conveys along a first direction, the first guide bar is arranged on the first conveyor line body and extends along a second direction, the second direction forms an angle with the first direction, so that the long side or short side of the conveyed ice plate can abut against the first guide bar and be conveyed along the second direction; the shift rod is arranged adjacent to the tail of the first conveyor assembly in the vertical direction, the vertical distance from the shift rod to the first guide bar is smaller than the long side of the ice plate and larger than the short side of the ice plate, so as to adjust the long side of the ice plate toward the first guide bar.

[0010] Material receiving device for storing ice slabs collated into a stream of individual items.

[0011] One embodiment of the above invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0012] The automatic ice plate processing system of the embodiment of the present invention includes a box turning device, an ice plate conveyor line and a material storage device. Because the box turning device is used to pour out the ice plates in the insulation box, the ice plate conveyor line organizes the poured ice plates to form a single item flow, and the material storage device stores the ice plates, the recovery and storage of the ice plates is more automated, thereby saving labor costs and improving work efficiency.

[0013] In addition, the automatic ice plate processing system of the embodiment of the present invention also includes a delivery device, which, by cooperating with the box turning device and the material storage device, can deliver the frozen ice plates back into the empty insulation box after the ice plates are poured out by the box turning device, so that the ice plate recovery, freezing and ice plate re-delivery operations can be carried out in a cycle, further improving the ice plate processing efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 is a stereoscopic diagram of an automatic ice plate processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 It is a top view of the automatic ice plate processing system shown in the embodiment of the present invention. The automatic ice plate processing system of the embodiment of the present invention includes a box turning device 3, an ice plate conveying line 4, a material receiving device 1 and a delivery device 2. The box turning device 3 is used to turn over the insulated box to pour out the ice plates in the insulated box. The ice plate conveying line 4 cooperates with the box turning device 3 to convey the ice plates poured out by the box turning device 3 and organize the ice plates into a single item flow to be stored in the material receiving device 1. The delivery device 2 is used to put the frozen ice plates into the empty insulated boxes, which are the insulated boxes after the ice plates are poured out by the box turning device 3.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, when in use, the insulation boxes stacked in the insulation box stack are placed one by one on the full box conveyor line 51 by manual or mechanical arms, and the box lids of the insulation boxes are opened. The full box conveyor line 51 conveys the insulation boxes with ice slabs to the box turning device 3. The box turning device 3 turns over the insulation box to pour out the ice slabs, and the poured ice slabs fall into the ice slab conveyor line 4. After being processed by the ice slab conveyor line 4, the ice slabs can be sorted into a single item flow and arranged neatly in rows, so as to be stored in the material storage device 1. The material storage device 1 with ice slabs can quickly transport the ice slabs to the freezer for reuse. The insulation box with ice slabs poured out by the box turning device 3 is transported to the delivery device 2 through the empty box conveyor line 52. The delivery device 2 cooperates with the material storage device 1 to put the re-frozen ice slabs into the empty insulation box. Finally, the box lid of the insulation box is closed on the box body through the cover closing device located downstream of the empty box conveyor line 52.

[0042] Combine the following Figure 3 and Figure 4 The detailed structure and working principle of the ice plate conveying line 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 is a stereoscopic diagram of an ice plate conveying line 4 and a material receiving device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 1 is a top view of the ice plate conveyor line 4 and the material receiving device 1 shown in the embodiment of the present invention. The ice plate conveyor line 4 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a feeding conveyor assembly 49, a climbing conveyor assembly 45, a pulling distance conveyor assembly 46, a first conveyor assembly 41, a second conveyor assembly 43, a third conveyor assembly 44 and a collecting conveyor assembly 48.

[0044] The ice slabs poured out by the box turning device 3 fall on the feeding conveying assembly 49. The distance between the opening of the ice collecting container 3130 of the box turning device 3 and the conveying surface of the feeding conveying assembly 49 is greater than the thickness of a single ice slab and less than the thickness of two stacked ice slabs, so that the ice slabs output by the feeding conveying assembly 49 are not overlapped as much as possible.

[0045] The climbing conveying assembly 45 is arranged to be tilted upward relative to the horizontal plane, and is used to separate the stacked ice plates into individual pieces. When a plurality of ice plates are stacked, the stacked ice plates will be separated into individual pieces due to gravity because the climbing conveying assembly 45 is arranged to be tilted.

[0046] The distance conveying assembly 46 includes a plurality of distance conveying lines 461 with different speeds. Along the conveying direction, the speeds of the plurality of distance conveying lines 461 gradually increase to increase the distance between two adjacent ice plates.

[0047] The first conveying assembly 41 is disposed downstream of the pull-distance conveying assembly 46. The first conveying assembly 41 includes a first conveying line body 411 and a first guide bar 412. The first conveying line body 411 is conveyed along a first direction D1. The first guide bar 412 is disposed on the first conveying line body 411 and extends along a second direction D2. The second direction D2 forms an angle α1 with the first direction D1, so that the long side or short side of the conveyed ice plate can be conveyed against the first guide bar 412 along the second direction D2.

[0048] By setting the first direction D1 of the first conveying line 411 and the second direction D2 of the first guide bar 412 at an angle, the ice slab being conveyed can move closer to the first guide bar 412 during the conveying process, so that the long side or short side of the ice slab abuts against the first guide bar 412 and is uniformly conveyed along the second direction D2.

[0049] The first conveying assembly 41 may further include another guide bar, which is disposed on the first conveying line body 411 and is disposed opposite to the first guide bar 412, and the ice sheet being conveyed is located between the first guide bar 412 and the another guide bar. The design of the another guide bar can prevent the ice sheet from slipping off the first conveying line body 411.

[0050] In some embodiments, the angle α1 may be between 5 degrees and 20 degrees, such as 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 degrees, etc.

[0051] A third conveying assembly 44 is also provided between the first conveying assembly 41 and the second conveying assembly 43. A shift rod 42 is provided on the third conveying assembly 44. The shift rod 42 can be adjacent to the tail of the first conveying assembly 41 to adjust the ice plate with its long side facing the conveying direction to achieve steering so that the short side of the ice plate faces the conveying direction.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that the “long side” and “short side” in this application document mean that the ice board is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the width of the rectangular parallelepiped is the short side of the ice board, and the length of the rectangular parallelepiped is the long side of the ice board.

[0053] The stopper 42 is disposed adjacent to the tail of the first conveying assembly 41 in the vertical direction, and the vertical distance from the stopper 42 to the first guide strip 412 is smaller than the long side of the ice plate and larger than the short side of the ice plate, so that when the ice plate passes through the stopper 42, if the short side of the ice plate faces the conveying direction, the ice plate will not collide with the stopper 42 and will not turn. If the long side of the ice plate faces the conveying direction, since the long side is larger than the distance from the stopper 42 to the first guide strip 412, the ice plate will collide with the stopper 42, causing the ice plate to turn 90 degrees, so that the short side of the ice plate faces the conveying direction.

[0054] Through the above design, for the rectangular ice plates, through the joint action of the first conveying assembly 41 and the stopper rod 42, multiple ice plates can be conveyed with the short sides facing the conveying direction, which is conducive to the subsequent stacking of multiple rows of ice plates.

[0055] The second conveying assembly 43 is disposed at the tail of the first conveying assembly 41. The second conveying assembly 43 includes a second conveying line body 431 and a second guide bar 432. The second conveying line body 431 is conveyed along the third direction D3. The second guide bar 432 is disposed on the second conveying line body 431 and extends along the second direction D2. The second direction D2 forms an angle α2 with the third direction D3, so that the long side of the conveyed ice plate can be abutted against the second guide bar 432 and conveyed along the second direction D2, and the short side of the ice plate can face the conveying direction.

[0056] The second conveying assembly 43 further includes a third guide bar 433, which is disposed on the second conveying line body 431 and is disposed opposite to the second guide bar 432. Along the second direction D2, the distance between the second guide bar 432 and the third guide bar 433 gradually decreases, and the minimum distance between the second guide bar 432 and the third guide bar 433 is slightly larger than the short side of the ice plate, or the minimum distance is substantially equal to the short side of the ice plate. With such a design, the ice plate can be prevented from turning when being transported on the second conveying assembly 43.

[0057] In one embodiment, the angle α2 may be between 5 degrees and 20 degrees, such as 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 degrees, etc.

[0058] In one embodiment, the first direction D1 may be the same as the third direction D3, and the angle α1 may be equal to the angle α2.

[0059] Through the design of the first conveying assembly 41, the second conveying assembly 43 and the stopper rod 42, a plurality of ice plates can be neatly conveyed forward with their short sides facing the conveying direction.

[0060] The ice plate conveying line 4 further comprises a collecting conveying assembly 48 , which is arranged at the tail of the second conveying assembly 43 and is used for collecting rows of ice plates.

[0061] The collecting and conveying assembly 48 includes a collecting and conveying line body 481 and a stopper 482 . The stopper 482 is disposed at the tail of the collecting and conveying line body 481 and is used to stop the ice plate.

[0062] Stop bars are also provided on both sides of the collecting and conveying assembly 48, and the distance between the two stop bars is substantially equal to or slightly larger than the short side of the ice plate.

[0063] After the rows of ice slabs are transferred to the collection and conveying assembly 48, the ice slabs are compactly arranged on the collection and conveying line 481 because the stopper 482 blocks the ice slabs. When a certain number of ice slabs are accumulated, the rows of ice slabs can be pushed into the material receiving device 1 manually or by a pusher (the material receiving device 1 will be described in detail later).

[0064] The design of the stopper 482 makes the adjacent ice plates more compact, making it easier for the material storage device 1 to store more ice plates, thus saving plant space and improving space utilization.

[0065] The above-mentioned ice plate conveying line 4 also includes a sorting mechanism 47 , which is arranged adjacent to the head of the first conveying component 41 and includes an image collector 471 , a first diverter 472 and a second diverter 473 .

[0066] The image collector 471 is used to collect the colors and / or shapes of different ice plates and send the results to the control system. The control system controls the first splitter 472 and the second splitter 473 to work according to the collected results.

[0067] Specifically, when the ice plate is damaged after use, the image collector 471 sends a damage signal to the controller, and the controller controls the first diverter 472 to remove the damaged ice plate.

[0068] When ice slabs of different types (e.g., different shapes and sizes) are transported on the conveyor line, the control system controls the second diverter 473 to sort out ice slabs of different specifications. For example, the second diverter 473 can divert cuboid and cube-shaped ice slabs to different conveyor lines to stack ice slabs of different shapes. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second diverter 473 can divert ice plates of different shapes to another conveying line arranged side by side with the first conveying assembly 41 and the second conveying assembly 43.

[0069] Of course, it is understandable that when the processed ice plates are all of the same shape, the second diverter 473 is not required to operate.

[0070] like Fig. 22 and Fig.23 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover closing device 6 is disposed downstream of the empty box conveying line 52. When the empty insulated box is put into the ice plate again by the delivery device 2, the cover closing device 6 can close the box lid.

[0071] like Fig.23 As shown, the closing device 6 includes a guide rod 62 and multiple rollers 61, which are arranged on one side of the empty box conveyor line 52 and are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the empty box conveyor line 52. The roller 61 is closer to the dispensing device 2 than the guide rod 62.

[0072] The roller 61 can be driven by a motor to rotate relative to the empty box conveyor line 52. The rollers 61 are arranged side by side along the conveying direction of the empty box conveyor line 52 and can rotate around a rotation axis. When viewed along the conveying direction, the rollers 61 rotate in a clockwise direction.

[0073] The guide rod 62 extends along the conveying direction of the empty box conveying line 52 and is arranged to be inclined upward. Along the conveying direction, the vertical distance from the guide rod 62 to the empty box conveying line 52 gradually increases.

[0074] The surface of each roller 61 has a sticky surface. When the insulated box is conveyed to the plurality of rollers 61 by the empty box conveyor line 52, the plurality of rollers 61 rotate to stick to the box cover of the insulated box so that it is lifted up. Then, the lifted box cover contacts the guide rod 62. Since the guide rod 62 is inclined, as the insulated box is conveyed forward, the box cover is gradually lifted until it is covered on the box body.

[0075] Combine the following Figures 5 to 8 , the structure and working principle of the material receiving device of the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of the material storage device shown in an embodiment of the present invention under a viewing angle. The material storage device provided in this embodiment can put materials into or take them out of the storage frame 11 through the material inlet and outlet 113, ensure the regularity of material placement, and reduce the material storage space; by setting a lifting pallet 12, during the material stacking process, after the lifting pallet 12 is raised to be flush with the material inlet and outlet 113, after each layer of material is stacked, the height of the lifting pallet 12 is lowered to achieve layer-by-layer stacking of materials, thereby increasing the number of materials that the material storage device can accommodate and facilitating the material stacking operation; when the material is put in, the uppermost layer of material on the lifting pallet 12 is put into the material inlet and outlet 113, and after each layer of material is put in, the lifting pallet 12 is raised to achieve layer-by-layer putting of materials; the material putting or stacking operation is convenient. And the material storage device provided in this embodiment can be used to stack ice plates, with high stacking efficiency and easy operation.

[0077] Specifically, the receiving frame 11 is a six-sided structure as a whole, which includes two side frame parts 111 that are opposite and spaced apart and a bottom frame part 112 connected between the bottom ends of the two side frame parts 111, and the top ends of the two side frame parts 111 are connected. The two side frame parts 111 and the bottom frame part 112 are surrounded to form a receiving space, and the receiving frame 11 is formed at both ends in the length direction. Lifting movable openings 114 for the two ends of the lifting support plate 12 to move.

[0078] 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.

[0079] Furthermore, the side frame portion 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. A material inlet and outlet 113 for materials to enter or exit the receiving frame 11 is formed between the limiting beam 115 and the upper horizontal support beam 1111. A block is provided between the limiting beam 115 and the lower horizontal support beam 1111 to prevent the materials from escaping from the receiving frame 11.

[0080] In this embodiment, the blocking includes a plurality of limit rods spaced apart along the length direction of the side frame portion 111, the limit rods are vertically arranged, and the two ends thereof are respectively connected to the limit beam 115 and the lower horizontal support beam 1111, and the distance between two adjacent limit rods is less than the length of the shorter side of the material. In another embodiment, the blocking 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 blocking 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 material from escaping from the side frame portion 111.

[0081] 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 material 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.

[0082] In order to improve the lifting stability of the lifting support plate 12, the material receiving 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.

[0083] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of the lifting support plate shown in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 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.

[0084] 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. The two roller shafts 124 of each extension end 122 are fixed relative to the extension end 122 through a roller fixing member 125.

[0085] Furthermore, a docking post 126 for docking with the pallet lifting mechanism is convexly provided on the upper surface of the extension end 122, and a docking through hole 1221 is provided on the docking post 126 that passes through the docking post 126 and the extension end 122. The use of the docking post 126 and the docking through hole 1221 can improve the convenience and reliability of docking between the lifting pallet 12 and the pallet lifting mechanism. In another embodiment, the extension end 122 can be lifted and contacted by the pallet lifting mechanism to achieve docking between the lifting pallet 12 and the pallet lifting mechanism. In another embodiment, other connection structures can also be provided to achieve docking between the lifting pallet 12 and the pallet lifting mechanism.

[0086] Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a material receiving device in another perspective shown in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a plurality of material receiving devices gathered together according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in order to facilitate the movement of the material receiving device 1, the material 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 material receiving device 1 and prevent the material receiving device 1 from tipping over.

[0087] 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 material containing device 1, and enable the first caster assembly 13 and the second caster assembly 14 to not interfere with the caster assembly of the adjacent material containing device 1 when multiple material containing devices 1 are gathered together.

[0088] 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] Furthermore, in order to guide the gathering of two adjacent material receiving devices 1, a first guide plate 133 is provided on the 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 1331 extending along the length direction of the first caster support rod 131 and a second guide plate portion 1332 provided along the width direction of the receiving frame 11, and the second guide plate portion 1332 is located at one end of the first guide plate portion 1331 close to the second caster assembly 14. The provision of the first guide plate 133 enables the first caster assembly 13 of the other material receiving device 1 located on the extending side of the first caster support rod 131 of the material receiving device 1 to be inserted into the outer side of the two first caster assemblies 13 of the material receiving device 1.

[0091] Since the second caster assembly 14 needs to pass through the free end of the first caster assembly 13 when multiple material 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 interference between the first caster assemblies 13 and the second caster assemblies 14 of the two adjacent material receiving devices when the two adjacent material receiving devices 1 are gathered together.

[0092] 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 material receiving devices 1 are gathered together, the second caster support rod 141 of the material receiving device 1 located in front of the first caster support rod 131 of the current material receiving device 1 is inserted along the third guide plate portion 1431.

[0093] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, in order to keep the material 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 material 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 material 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.

[0094] 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 material receiving devices 1. Further, 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.

[0095] Furthermore, in order to improve the docking reliability between the material receiving device 1 and the delivery device, a limiting column 16 is protruded from the top of the receiving frame 11, and the limiting column 16 is used to achieve docking limitation with the external delivery device or the delivery device. 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.

[0096] The structure and working principle of the delivery device are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0097] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the material receiving device and the delivery device after assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The internal space formed by the mounting frame 21 is used to accommodate the material receiving 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.

[0100] 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 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] 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.

[0103] 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.

[0104] 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.

[0105] 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.

[0106] 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.

[0107] Since the material receiving device 1 is pushed into between the two vertical frames 211 from one side of the delivery device 2, in order to limit the pushing depth of the material receiving device 1, a stopper 25 for limiting the position of the material 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 vertical frame 211, and the stopper 25 is provided on a side away from another supporting column 2111 on the same vertical 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 vertical 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 stopper rod sections 251 are arranged at intervals along the height direction, and the two stopper rod sections 251 are connected to the same stopper plate portion 252.

[0108] The above arrangement enables the material receiving device 1 to be pushed into the inside of the delivery device 2 when the material receiving device 1 enters the inside of the delivery device 2 from the opposite side of the stopper 25, and the stopper plate portion 252 abuts against the material receiving device 1 to achieve the push-in limit of the material 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 material receiving device 1 in the delivery 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 vertical frames 211, or the stopper 25 is arranged on the truss 212, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0109] Furthermore, in order to guide the material receiving device 1 to enter or exit the inside of the delivery device 2, the delivery device 2 further 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 material receiving device 1, and the guide wheel assembly includes a support base plate 261 horizontally arranged on the ground, a fixed shaft 263 vertically arranged on the support base 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 base plate 261 along the entry direction of the material receiving 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 material receiving 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 material receiving device 1.

[0110] In this embodiment, in order to better guide the entry of the material receiving device 1, when the material receiving device 1 enters between two rows of guide wheel assemblies, the second guide plate portion 1332 in the first caster assembly 13 of the material receiving device 1 rolls with the directional roller 262.

[0111] 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 realize the entry or exit guidance of the material 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.

[0112] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the material receiving device 1 does not shift after entering the delivery device 2, the delivery device 2 is also provided with a limiting mechanism 27 for achieving relative fixation of the delivery device 2 and the material receiving device 1. In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 27 is arranged at the top of the delivery 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 material receiving 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 the 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 the direction away from the limiting column 16 so that the limiting column 16 is out of the limiting hole.

[0113] 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 realize the connection and limiting between the material receiving device 1 and the delivery 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 delivery 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 of the 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.

[0114] When the material receiving device 1 enters the inside of the delivery device 2 and is stopped by the stopping member 25, the limiting driving member 272 drives the limiting member 271 to descend, so that the limiting column 16 in the material receiving device 1 is inserted into the limiting hole of the limiting member 271, so that the material receiving device 1 and the delivery device 2 are relatively fixed. When the material receiving device 1 needs to be moved out of the delivery device 2, the limiting driving member 272 drives the limiting member 271 to move upward, so that the limiting member 272 is separated from the limiting column 16.

[0115] In this embodiment, two limit mechanisms 27 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the truss 212, and the two limit mechanisms 27 are arranged at the two ends of the length direction of the material receiving device 1 respectively. In order to fix the limit mechanism 27 on the truss 212, a first drive fixing plate 273 is arranged between the two horizontal beams 2121, and the fixed end of the limit driving member 272 is arranged on the first drive fixing plate 273. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limit driving member 272 is a cylinder, and in other embodiments, the limit driving member 272 can also be a linear motor, an electric push rod, or other structural forms that can realize vertical lifting drive.

[0116] The operation process is as follows: when the material receiving device 1 is pushed in to abut against the stopper 25 of the delivery device 2, the limiting mechanism 27 is actuated to make the limiting member 271 drop down 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 material inlet and outlet 113; the first material pushing mechanism is actuated to push a row of materials on the external material conveying line through the material 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 end surface of the material on the lifting pallet 12 is flush with the surface of the external material conveying line. ; The material pushing mechanism pushes the material moved to the material stacking area onto the uppermost material layer on the lifting pallet 12; the lifting pallet 12 is lowered by a preset distance and the material pushing mechanism is performed repeatedly until the lifting pallet 12 is located on the bottom frame of the material receiving device 1, which indicates that the material receiving device 1 is full of materials, and when the material receiving device 1 is full of materials, the upper surface of the uppermost material layer is slightly lower than the lower edge of the material inlet and outlet 113; the limiting mechanism 27 on the delivery device 2 is actuated to disconnect the material receiving device 1 from the delivery device 2, and the material receiving device 1 is manually pushed out to other processes.

[0117] Fig.14 FIG. 1 is another structural schematic diagram of the material receiving device and the delivery device after being assembled according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.14 As shown, it includes a material storage device and a delivery device. The material storage device is used to neatly stack the materials, and the delivery device is used to deliver the materials in the material storage device to an external environment where they are needed.

[0118] For example, the delivery device can deliver the ice slabs stored in the material storage device into an empty insulated box conveyed along the empty box conveying line 52 .

[0119] In this embodiment, the material storage device adopts the structure of the above embodiment, which will not be described again here.

[0120] Fig.15 yes Fig.14 The schematic diagram of the structure of the material receiving device is removed. Fig.16 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a part of the structure of the delivery device in another perspective shown in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14-16 As shown, the structure of the delivery device provided in this embodiment is basically the same as that of the delivery device in the above embodiment, except that the material pushing mechanism provided in this embodiment is used to push the material in the material receiving device from the receiving frame through the material inlet and outlet to the outside.

[0121] Specifically, the material pushing mechanism 28 provided in this embodiment includes a horizontally arranged pushing plate 281 and a horizontal pushing driving unit 282 for driving the horizontal movement of the pushing plate 281. 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 stop member 25 is arranged.

[0122] 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 materials 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 materials. In other embodiments, the push plate 281 can also be set as a whole along the length direction of the truss 212.

[0123] In order to prevent the setting of the material pushing mechanism 28 from affecting the material receiving device 1 from entering or exiting the inside of the delivery device 2, preferably, the delivery device 2 is also provided with a pushing and lifting mechanism 29 for driving the material 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 arranged on the lifting connection member 291.

[0124] In this embodiment, the lifting connection 291 is a horizontally arranged plate-like 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 material pushing mechanism 28.

[0125] Furthermore, the delivery 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.

[0126] In this embodiment, the material 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 material pushing mechanism 28 inside the mounting frame 21 to protect the material pushing mechanism 28. However, it can be understood that the material pushing mechanism 28 can also be located on 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.

[0127] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the material pushed out by the material pushing mechanism 28 to fall into the target container or target position more accurately, the delivery device also includes a material drop guide 220 for guiding the pushed material to drop. The material drop guide 220 is arranged on the outside of the mounting frame 21 and is located below the material inlet and outlet, and the driving end of the horizontal pushing drive unit 282 is facing the material drop guide 220. The material drop guide 220 is provided with a material drop chute 2201 for the material to drop.

[0128] 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 a material dropping baffle 2203 which is 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 material inlet and outlet.

[0129] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the upper opening of the material drop chute 2201 is greater than the width of the lower opening, so that the materials falling from the upper opening of the material drop chute 2201 can be gathered, which is more conducive to putting multiple materials into the same target container, such as an empty insulated box.

[0130] 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 material 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 material delivery requirements.

[0131] It is understandable that when multiple materials need to be dropped into the same target container, it is not necessary to set up the material drop guide 220. For example, when pushing the material onto the conveyor line, the conveyor line can be directly aligned with the material inlet and outlet, and the material can be pushed from the material inlet and outlet to the conveyor line through the material pushing mechanism.

[0132] 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.

[0134] The structure and working principle of the box turning device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0135] like Fig.17 As shown, in this embodiment, the box turning device provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 3110, a conveyor line body 3120, an ice collection container 3130 and a turning mechanism 3140. Figures 18 to 21 , Fig.18 A three-dimensional diagram of the box turning device in another working state is representatively shown in FIG. Fig.19 A perspective view of the flip mechanism 3140 is representatively shown in FIG. Fig. 20 A three-dimensional view of the conveyor line body 3120 is representatively shown in FIG. Fig.21 A three-dimensional view of the flipping claw 3143 of the flipping mechanism 3140 is representatively shown in FIG.

[0136] like Fig.17 and Fig.18As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor line body 3120 is arranged on the frame 3110 and extends along the fourth direction X, and the conveyor line body 3120 can convey the thermal insulation box 3200 along the fourth direction X. The conveyor line body 3120 has an inlet and an outlet at both ends in the fourth direction X, and the conveyor line body 3120 can be connected to an upstream line body 3300 and a downstream line body 3400 through the inlet and the outlet, respectively, so that the box turning device can be connected to the upstream conveying device and the downstream conveying device of the logistics system. The ice collection container 3130 is arranged on one side of the conveyor line body 3120 along the fifth direction Y, and the fifth direction Y is perpendicular to the fourth direction X. The ice collection container 3130 is used to store ice plates taken out of the thermal insulation box 3200 for recycling. The flip mechanism 3140 is located above the conveying line 3120. The flip mechanism 3140 can adjustably clamp the heat preservation box 3200 and flip it between the conveying line 3120 and the ice collection container 3130. Accordingly, when the heat preservation box 3200 with ice sheets enters the conveying line 3120 via the upstream line 3300, the flip mechanism 3140 can clamp the heat preservation box 3200 and flip it. The opening of the heat preservation box 3200 after being flipped to a certain angle roughly corresponds to the top of the ice collection container 3130, and at this time, the ice sheets slide freely out of the heat preservation box 3200 through its opening and fall into the ice collection container 3130. The flip mechanism 3140 flips the heat preservation box 3200 and resets it to the conveying line 3120. The flip mechanism 3140 releases the heat preservation box 3200, and the conveying line 3120 transports the empty heat preservation box 3200 after the ice sheets are taken out to the downstream line 3400. Through the above design, the box turning device proposed in the present invention can realize the automatic ice pouring function of the insulated box 3200, improve the automation level of the logistics system for conveying the insulated box 3200 with ice plates, and improve the conveying and recycling efficiency.

On this basis, when the incubator 3200 is moved to the turning table 3122 by the transfer device, the turning mechanism 3140 can clamp and turn over the incubator 3200. Accordingly, the embodiment of the present invention can use the cache line body 3121 and the empty box line body 3123 of the conveying line body 3120 to respectively transport the incubator 3200 without pouring out the ice plate and the incubator 3200 with pouring out the ice plate along the fourth direction X, and can use the transfer device to move the incubator 3200 between the turning table 3122, the cache line body 3121 and the empty box line body 3123.

When the incubator 3200 on the buffer line body 3121 reaches a predetermined number, the translation mechanism of the transfer device is lifted by the lifting mechanism until the upper surface of the translation mechanism is higher than the upper surface of the buffer line body 3121. Then, the translation mechanism transports the incubator 3200 to the top of the flip table 3122 along the fifth direction Y. The baffle 3124 is lifted to stop the incubator 3200 and keep it on the flip table 3122, and the translation mechanism is lowered. Then, the flipping claw 3143 automatically clamps the incubator 3200 and flips the whole around the rotating shaft 3142, so that the ice plate is poured into the ice collection container 3130. Afterwards, the flipping clamp 3143 flips over in the opposite direction, putting the empty insulation box 3200 back on the flipping table 3122, the baffle 3124 descends, and the lifting mechanism raises the translation mechanism again, and the translation mechanism moves the empty insulation box 3200 to the empty box line body 3123, and then the translation mechanism descends again, and the empty box line body 3123 transports the empty insulation box 3200 from the shipping port to the outside, thereby completing the dumping and recovery of the ice plate in the insulation box 3200.
