In recent years, loading and unloading equipment that can travel inside the carriage has become a research hotspot.

[0003] However, existing loading and unloading equipment is difficult to adapt to loading and unloading in a semi-trailer compartment. Since there is a step at one end of the semi-trailer compartment near the front of the vehicle, there is a height difference between the bottom surface of the semi-trailer compartment and the top surface of the step. When the existing loading and unloading equipment is performing loading and unloading operations, the stacking device cannot stack the goods on the front step of the semi-trailer compartment due to the long steps in the semi-trailer compartment; although the stacking moving device of some loading and unloading equipment can extend forward a certain distance, it is easy to cause the center of gravity of the loading and unloading equipment to move forward, and there is a risk of tilting forward.

[0035] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] First embodiment:

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the loading machine 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention is applied to the loading system 100. The loading system 100 is loading in the semi-trailer compartment 900. The direction indicated by the arrow A in the figure is the first direction A.

[0038] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a loader 10, which can perform loading operations in a semi-trailer compartment 900 and has high loading stability. The loader 10 can be applied to a loading system 100, a storage system or a logistics system, etc. Of course, the loader 10 can also be used independently.

[0039] Taking the application of the loader 10 in the loading system 100 as an example, the loading system 100 performs loading operations in the semi-trailer compartment 900 through the loader 10; the loading system 100 may also include a telescopic conveyor line 20, which is connected to the loader 10 and can maintain connection with the loader 10 when the loader 10 moves in the first direction A, so as to continuously convey the goods 800 to the loader 10, thereby improving the loading efficiency of the loading system.

[0040] Since the loading system 100 adopts the loading machine 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention, the loading system 100 also has the characteristics of being able to perform loading operations in the semi-trailer compartment 900 and having high loading stability.

[0041] The following will specifically introduce the structural composition, working principle and beneficial effects of the vehicle loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the vehicle loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 It is a partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the vehicle loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention when it is supported on a step 910 in a semi-trailer compartment 900. The direction indicated by the arrow A in the figure is the first direction A.

[0043] The loading machine 10 includes a traveling mechanism 11, a loading frame 12, a stacking device 13 and a supporting mechanism 15. The stacking device 13 is slidably connected to the loading frame 12 and can extend from the loading frame 12 along a first direction A, and is used to stack the goods 800 to a stacking position. The loading frame 12 is slidably connected to the traveling mechanism 11, and the traveling mechanism 11 can drive the loading frame 12 to move in the semi-trailer 900, so as to drive the loading frame 12 to move to a stacking position in the semi-trailer 900. The loading frame 12 can translate relative to the traveling mechanism 11, so as to extend from the traveling mechanism 11 along the first direction A, so as to further move the stacking device 13 forward. The supporting mechanism 15 is installed on the loading frame 12, and can abut against the step 910 or the bottom surface 920 in the semi-trailer 900, so as to support the loading frame 12. In this way, when the loader 10 stacks the goods 800 onto the step 910, the traveling mechanism 11 can first be moved on the bottom surface 920 of the semi-trailer carriage 900 to a position close to the step 910, and then the loading frame 12 can be moved forward so as to be moved above the step 910 along the first direction A, so as to facilitate the stacking device 13 on the loading frame 12 to perform the stacking work, and the loading frame 12 is also supported on the step 910 by the supporting mechanism 15, thereby supporting the loading frame 12 on the step 910, so that the loader 10 can stably perform the loading operation.

[0044] It should be noted that the support mechanism 15 can also be supported on the bottom surface 920 of the semi-trailer 900 to improve the loading stability of the loading machine 10 when the loading frame 12 is above the bottom surface 920 of the semi-trailer 900. The telescopic conveyor line 20 of the loading system 100 is connected to the stacking device 13, and can remain connected to the stacking device 13 when the stacking device 13 moves along the first direction A, so as to continuously convey the goods 800 to the stacking device 13. In addition, in this embodiment, the walking mechanism 11 is a crawler-type moving mechanism. Of course, in other embodiments, the walking mechanism 11 can also be other moving mechanisms such as a wheeled moving mechanism.

[0045] Further, the support mechanism 15 may include a first support driving member 151, which is installed on the loading frame 12, and the first support driving member 151 can extend downward from the loading frame 12, so that the bottom of the first support driving member 151 is against the step 910 or the bottom surface 920 in the semi-trailer 900, so that the loading frame 12 is supported by the first support driving member 151. By providing the downwardly retractable first support driving member 151, the support height of the support mechanism 15 can be adjusted, so that the loading machine 10 can perform loading operations in the semi-trailer 900 with steps 910 of different heights, thereby improving the adaptability of the loading machine 10.

[0046] In addition, the support mechanism 15 may also include a second support driver (not shown), the second support driver is connected to the loading frame 12, and the first support driver 151 is connected to the second support driver to connect the first support driver 151 to the loading frame 12. In other words, the first support driver 151 is connected to the loading frame 12 through the second support driver, and the second support driver can drive the first support driver 151 to move along the first direction A, thereby adjusting the position of the first support driver 151 relative to the loading frame 12 in the first direction A. When the support mechanism 15 supports the loading frame 12, the first support driver 151 can be driven forward by the second support driver, so that the first support driver 151 can support the loading frame 12 more stably. In addition, the support mechanism 15 can also adjust the position of the first support driver 151 by adjusting the second support driver to avoid the first support driver 151 from abutting against the edge of the step 910, further improving the stability of the support mechanism 15 when abutting against the step 910.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first support driving member 151 and the second support driving member may be a telescopic mechanism of a motor-driven screw. In other embodiments, the first support driving member 151 and the second support driving member may also be a gear rack telescopic mechanism, a pneumatic telescopic mechanism or an oil-driven telescopic mechanism. In addition, in this embodiment, both the forward extension and the forward movement represent at least the action of moving along the first direction A.

[0048] Please continue reading Figure 3 The support mechanism 15 may further include a support member 152, the support member 152 includes a support portion 1521 and a support connection portion 1522 connected to each other, wherein the support portion 1521 is arranged in a plate shape, the support portion 1521 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first support driving member 151 through the support connection portion 1522, and the support portion 1521 under the first support driving member 151 can be horizontally suspended at the bottom of the first support driving member 151 under its own gravity, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, the first support driving member 151 is supported by the support portion 1521 against the step 910 or the bottom surface 920 in the semi-trailer 900. In this way, the first support driving member 151 is supported by the plate-shaped support portion 1521 against the step 910 or the bottom surface 920 to increase the contact area and improve the stability of the supporting loading frame 12. In addition, the support portion 1521, which is rotatable relative to the first support driving member 151 and horizontally suspended at the bottom of the first support driving member 151 under its own gravity, is supported against the step 910 or the bottom surface 920, so that when the bottom surface 920 or the step 910 has a concave-convex surface, the support portion 1521 can rotate relative to the first support driving member 151 to better fit the surface of the step 910 or the bottom surface 920, so as to further improve the stability of the supporting mechanism 15 supporting the loading frame 12.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of the supporting mechanisms 15 is two, and they are arranged on the loading frame 12 along a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction A. In other embodiments, the number of the supporting mechanisms 15 may also be multiple, and they are distributed at the bottom of the loading frame 12 to provide support for more positions of the loading frame 12.

[0050] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the support mechanism 15 may also be directly supported on the bottom surface 920 of the semi-trailer compartment 900, or simultaneously supported on the bottom surface 920 and the step 910 inside the semi-trailer compartment 900, so as to increase the stability of the loader 10 in loading operations.

[0051] Further, the loader 10 may include a sliding connection (not shown), and the sliding connection may include a slide rail and a slider slidably connected to the slide rail, and the slide rail and the slider are respectively installed on the loading frame 12 and the traveling mechanism 11 to slide and connect the loading frame 12 and the traveling mechanism 11. Alternatively, the slide rail and the slider are respectively installed on the traveling mechanism 11 and the loading frame 12, so as to slide and connect the loading frame 12 and the traveling mechanism 11. In this way, when the loading frame 12 moves forward, the loading frame 12 is connected to the traveling mechanism 11 through the sliding connection, the traveling mechanism 11 always provides support for the loading frame 12, and the traveling mechanism 11 maintains the same posture as the loading frame 12. For example, when the loading frame 12 has a tendency to tilt forward, the traveling mechanism 11 also has a tendency to tilt forward at the same time, so as to reduce the probability of the loading frame 12 tilting forward through the gravity of the traveling mechanism 11 itself. The stability of the loading operation of the loader 10 is further improved.

[0052] It should be noted that a counterweight 111 may also be provided at the rear of the traveling mechanism 11 to further prevent the loading frame 12 from tilting forward. In addition, in other embodiments, the loading frame 12 and the traveling mechanism 11 may also be connected by other sliding connection modes.

[0053] Furthermore, the loading frame 12 can also be fully extended from the traveling mechanism 11, that is, after the loading frame 12 is extended forward, the projections of the loading frame 12 and the traveling mechanism 11 on the horizontal plane do not overlap, and the traveling mechanism 11 supports the loading frame 12 through a sliding connection, thereby extending the forward extension distance of the loading frame 12, further improving the adaptability of the loader 10.

[0054] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 4 The stacking device 13 may include a conveyor line 131 and a stacking mechanism 132. The conveyor line 131 is connected to the loading frame 12, and is connected to the telescopic conveyor line 20 and the stacking mechanism 132 at the head and tail, respectively, to receive the goods 800 delivered by the telescopic conveyor line 20 of the loading system 100, and transmit them to the stacking mechanism 132. The stacking mechanism 132 is slidably connected to the loading frame 12, and is used to stack the goods 800 to the stacking position, and the stacking mechanism 132 can move relative to the loader 10 along the first direction A, thereby expanding the range of the loader 10 to stack the goods 800, and further improving the adaptability of the loader 10.

[0055] It should be noted that the loading frame 12 may also be provided with a mechanism (not shown) for pushing and blocking the goods 800 and shaping the goods 800, so as to adjust parameters such as the position and orientation of the goods 800 transported on the conveyor line 131, so as to facilitate the stacking mechanism 132 to stack the goods 800.

[0056] In addition, the stacking mechanism 132 may include a stacking platform 1321, two push-out members 1322 and two clamping members 1323. The two clamping members 1323 are respectively connected to the two push-out members 1322. The two push-out members 1322 are installed on the stacking platform 1321 with a gap therebetween. The goods 800 transported by the conveyor line 131 enter the stacking platform 1321 through the gap between the two push-out members 1322. The stacking platform 1321 is provided with a conveying part (not shown) for driving the goods 800 to move in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction A. The conveying part transports the goods 800 on the stacking platform 1321 to the two clamping members 1323, and the two clamping members 1323 jointly clamp the goods 800 on the stacking platform 1321, so that the goods 800 on the stacking platform 1321 are combined into rows; the pushing member 1322 pushes the rows of goods 800 on the stacking platform 1321 along the first direction A to move out of the stacking platform 1321, and at the same time, the two clamping members 1323 jointly clamp the rows of goods 800 and move out of the stacking platform 1321 along the first direction A with the two pushing members 1322.

[0057] The stacking mechanism 132 may further include a stacking movable member 133 , and the stacking platform 1321 is driven by the stacking movable member 133 to move up and down, and move along the first direction A or in a direction opposite to the first direction A, thereby adjusting the position of the stacking platform 1321 in the semi-trailer compartment 900 .

[0058] During the loading operation, after the stacking platform 1321 receives the goods 800 conveyed by the conveyor line 131, the two clamping members 1323 jointly clamp the goods 800 on the stacking platform 1321 to combine the goods 800 on the stacking platform 1321 into rows; the stacking moving member 133 drives the stacking platform 1321 to move to a position close to the stacking position, and the pushing member 1322 pushes the rows of goods 800 along the first direction A; at the same time, the stacking platform 1321 can be retracted in the direction opposite to the first direction A under the drive of the stacking moving member 133, so that the rows of goods 800 are stacked to the stacking position.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 , Figure 5 This is a schematic structural diagram of the loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention when entering a semi-trailer compartment 900. Figure 6 This is a schematic structural diagram of the loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention after the position of the loader 10 is adjusted in the semi-trailer compartment 900. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention after retreating from the step 910. In the figure, the direction indicated by the arrow A is the first direction A.

[0060] During the loading operation, the loader 10 moves forward in the semi-trailer compartment 900 along the first direction A until it stops near the step 910 in the semi-trailer compartment 900. Figure 5 As shown, during this process, the telescopic conveyor line 20 is continuously extended to maintain a state of docking with the conveyor line 131 of the stacking device 13;

[0061] The loading frame 12 moves forward, thereby driving the stacking mechanism 132, the conveyor line 131 and the support mechanism 15 to move forward, so that the loading frame 12 is partially or completely located above the step 910 in the semi-trailer compartment 900. During this process, the telescopic conveyor line 20 continues to extend and always maintains a state of docking with the conveyor line 131; the support mechanism 15 extends downward until the support mechanism 15 abuts against the step 910 to support the loading frame 12. Figure 4 As shown;

[0062] The cargo 800 passes through the telescopic conveyor line 20 and the conveyor line 131 and enters the stacking mechanism 132. The stacking mechanism 132 stacks the cargo 800 on the step 910 in the semi-trailer compartment 900. Figure 4 As shown;

[0063] As the loading operation proceeds, the amount of cargo 800 on the step 910 increases, the support mechanism 15 is retracted upward, the loading frame 12 moves back a distance in the direction opposite to the first direction A, and is partially located above the step 910, the support mechanism 15 is supported on the step 910 again, and the stacking mechanism 132 continues to stack the cargo 800 on the step 910 in the semi-trailer compartment 900, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown; during this process, the telescopic conveyor line 20 retracts and always remains in a state of docking with the conveyor line 131;

[0064] As the amount of cargo 800 on the step 910 increases, the support mechanism 15 is retracted upward again, and the loading frame 12 retreats to above the traveling mechanism 11. At the same time, the traveling mechanism 11 can move backward in the semi-trailer compartment 900 in the direction opposite to the first direction A, and the stacking mechanism 132 continues to stack the cargo 800 in the semi-trailer compartment 900. Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the support mechanism 15 can also extend and support the bottom surface 920 in the semi-trailer 900 to increase the stability of the loader 10, and in this process, the telescopic conveyor line 20 retracts and always maintains the state of docking with the conveyor line 131. The loader 10 continues to move backward and stack the goods 800 on the bottom surface 920 of the semi-trailer 900 until the loading work is completed.

[0065] The working principle of the vehicle loader 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention is:

[0066] The loading machine 10 includes a traveling mechanism 11, a loading frame 12, a stacking device 13 and a supporting mechanism 15. The stacking device 13 is slidably connected to the loading frame 12 and can extend from the loading frame 12 along a first direction A, and is used to stack the goods 800 to a stacking position. The loading frame 12 is slidably connected to the traveling mechanism 11, and the traveling mechanism 11 can drive the loading frame 12 to move in the semi-trailer 900, so as to drive the loading frame 12 to move to a stacking position in the semi-trailer 900. The loading frame 12 can translate relative to the traveling mechanism 11, so as to extend from the traveling mechanism 11 along the first direction A, so as to further move the stacking device 13 forward. The supporting mechanism 15 is installed on the loading frame 12, and can abut against the step 910 or the bottom surface 920 in the semi-trailer 900, so as to support the loading frame 12. In this way, when the loader 10 stacks the goods 800 on the step 910, the loading frame 12 can be moved forward along the first direction A so that the loading frame 12 can be partially or completely moved above the step 910, which is convenient for the stacking device 13 on the loading frame 12 to perform the stacking work. In addition, the loading frame 12 is also supported on the step 910 by the supporting mechanism 15, thereby supporting the loading frame 12 on the step 910, so that the loader 10 can stably perform the loading operation.

[0067] In summary:

[0068] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a loading machine 10 which can perform loading operations in a semi-trailer compartment 900 and has the characteristics of high loading stability.

For the sake of brief description, for parts not mentioned in this embodiment, reference may be made to the corresponding contents in the above embodiments.

[0073] The loading method includes:

[0074] Step S101: moving the loading frame 12 forward along the first direction A so that the loading frame 12 extends out of the traveling mechanism 11;

[0075] Step S102: supporting the loading frame 12 on the step 910 and / or the bottom surface 920 in the semi-trailer compartment 900 through the supporting mechanism 15;

[0076] Step S103: stacking the goods 800 at the stacking position by the stacking device 13 .

[0077] When loading a semi-trailer carriage 900 having a step 910 inside, the loading frame 12 can be moved forward along the first direction A so that the loading frame 12 is partially or completely moved above the step 910, which facilitates the stacking device 13 on the loading frame 12 to perform the stacking work. In addition, the loading frame 12 is also supported on the step 910 by the supporting mechanism 15, thereby supporting the loading frame 12 on the step 910, so that the loader 10 can stably perform the loading operation.
