DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The core of the present invention is to provide a coal sample storage and inspection system, which does not require a cabinet structure and improves the bottle placement density inside the sample storage room.

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the coal sample storage and inspection system of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] like Figure 2A FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a specific embodiment of the coal sample storage and inspection system provided by the present invention; Figure 2B for Figure 2A Schematic diagram of the embodiment in the top view; the coal sample storage and inspection system of the present invention includes a sample storage room 1, a single-sided bracket 2, a double-sided bracket, a pick-up and placement device 3, a transceiver 4, etc. The sample storage room 1 has an encrypted locked door. The sample storage room 1 is an independent space isolated from the outside world. The sample storage room 1 is used for storing coal sample bottles in batches. People cannot enter and exit at will, and identity verification is required before the door can be opened. Normal placement and removal of coal sample bottles is completed through the cooperation of the pick-up and placement device 3 and the transceiver 4, and there is no need for people to enter and exit the sample storage room 1.

[0035] A single-sided bracket 2 is placed on the inner wall of the sample storage room 1, and the single-sided bracket 2 is placed against the wall; one or more double-sided brackets are placed in the middle of the sample storage room 1, and the double-sided bracket is formed by two single-sided brackets 2 back to back; Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, two sets of double-sided brackets are provided.

[0036] The single-sided bracket 2 has a supporting surface on which one side of the coal sample bottle can be placed, that is, when viewed from above, a row of coal sample bottles is placed on the single-sided bracket 2; the double-sided bracket has two supporting surfaces arranged in opposite directions, on which coal sample bottles can be placed on both sides, that is, when viewed from above, two rows of coal sample bottles are placed on a double-sided bracket, and the two rows of coal sample bottles are close to each other with a very small gap in between; when taking and placing the two coal sample bottles placed on the double-sided bracket, they are taken and placed from the two opposite sides respectively.

[0037] A taking and placing device 3 is provided in the sample storage room 1, which can take and place coal sample bottles from the single-sided bracket 2 and the double-sided bracket; the taking and placing device 3 can be positioned at different positions on the single-sided bracket 2 and the double-sided bracket to take out or place coal sample bottles.

[0038] A transceiver 4 is provided in the sample storage room 1 and is connected to the outside world to move the coal sample bottle into or out of the sample storage room 1; Figure 2A and Figure 2BThe transceiver device 4 shown is set at a corner of the sample storage room 1. The transceiver device 4 is used to cooperate with the picking and placing device 3 to transfer the coal sample bottle; when placing, the coal sample bottle enters the transceiver device 4 from the outside, and then is transferred from the transceiver device 4 to the picking and placing device 3; when taking out, the coal sample bottle is transferred from the picking and placing device 3 to the transceiver device 4, and then from the transceiver device 4 to the outside.

[0039] The space inside the coal sample room 1 of the present invention can be used to place coal sample bottles. Multiple bracket structures are set inside the coal sample room 1. The brackets for placing coal sample bottles do not need to be provided with outer shells. Single-sided brackets 2 are placed near the wall, and double-sided brackets are placed in the middle. Aisles are left between the double-sided bracket and the single-sided bracket 2, as well as between the two double-sided brackets. There is almost no gap between the two single-sided brackets 2 that make up the double-sided bracket. Compared with the traditional structure in which an outer shell is set outside the bracket, the space inside the coal sample room 1 is fully utilized, the space utilization rate is improved, and more coal sample bottles can be placed in the same space.

[0040] On the basis of the above scheme, the picking and placing device 3 of the present invention includes a grasping mechanism 31 and a transfer vehicle 32. The grasping mechanism 31 has a bottle picking block 311. The grasping mechanism 31 can drive the bottle picking block 311 to move in the horizontal and vertical directions. The bottle picking block 311 can drive the coal sample bottle to move. The bottle picking block 311 can cooperate with the single-sided bracket 2 and the double-sided bracket to pick up and place the coal sample bottle. The transfer vehicle 32 docks with the bottle picking block 311 to transfer the coal sample bottle; the grasping mechanism 31 and the transfer vehicle 32 are both intermediate transfer structures. The grasping mechanism 31 is used to transfer the coal sample bottle between the single-sided bracket 2, the double-sided bracket and the transfer vehicle 32, and the transfer vehicle 32 is used to transfer the coal sample bottle between the grasping mechanism 31 and the transceiver 4.

[0041] Furthermore, the pick-up and placement device 3 of the present invention also includes a small ring track 33 and a large ring track 34. The small ring track 33 and the large ring track 34 play a guiding role. Each small ring track 33 and the large ring track 34 are respectively provided with a corresponding grasping mechanism 31, and the grasping mechanism 31 can move along the small ring track 33 or the large ring track 34.

[0042] The small ring track 33 surrounds the double-sided bracket, and the grabbing mechanism 31 can move in a circular motion along the small ring track 33. Since the two sides of the double-sided bracket respectively store coal sample bottles, the small ring track 33 adopts a closed ring structure, so that the grabbing mechanism 31 moves between the two storage surfaces of the double-sided bracket. The two sides of a double-sided bracket share one grabbing mechanism 31.

[0043] The multiple single-sided brackets 2 arranged near the wall correspond to a large ring track 34, and the grasping mechanism 31 can move along the large ring track 34; Figure 2A and Figure 2BIn the illustrated structure, single-sided brackets 2 are installed on three side walls of the coal sampling room 1. Therefore, the corresponding large loop track 34 is a U-shaped, open structure. The three single-sided brackets 2 share a single large loop track 34. If single-sided brackets 2 are installed on all four side walls of the coal sampling room 1, the large loop track 34 can be a complete ring structure. The grasping mechanism 31 can move horizontally along the small loop track 33 or the large loop track 34 to different positions and stop at a fixed position.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the mutual cooperation between the small ring track 33 and the double-sided bracket; the small ring track 33 and the large ring track 34 of the present invention are respectively provided with drive belts 35 at equal intervals, that is, the small ring track 33 and the large ring track 34 are respectively provided with drive belts 35, and the spacing between the small ring track 33 and the large ring track 34 and their respective matching drive belts 35 is equal.

[0045] The pulley provided on the gripping mechanism 31 cooperates with the drive belt 35 for driving. The pulley is driven by the motor and is driven by friction with the drive belt 35. In addition to the method of achieving drive through the rotation of the pulley, the gripping mechanism 31 and the pulley can also be fixed relative to each other, and the rotation of the pulley can drive the gripping mechanism 31; or the belt can be replaced with a rack, and the pulley is provided with a corresponding gear, and the drive is achieved through the meshing of the gear and rack, which can achieve the same technical effect.

[0046] Preferably, the small ring track 33 and the large ring track 34 of the present invention respectively include two upper and lower sections of the same shape, which respectively guide the upper and lower ends of the grasping mechanism 31. The upper and lower sections respectively limit the upper and lower ends of the grasping mechanism 31. Therefore, the small ring track 33 and the large ring track 34 can adopt a single-track structure, which saves more space.

[0047] Specifically, the gripping mechanism 31 of the present invention further includes a guide rod 312, which is a vertically disposed guide rail structure. The bottle retrieval block 311 is vertically movable relative to the guide rod 312. The guide rod 312 can be driven vertically by a screw drive or other means. The upper and lower ends of the guide rod 312 are respectively mounted on the upper and lower sections of the small ring track 33 or the large ring track 34.

[0048] On the basis of any of the above technical solutions and their mutual combination, the single-sided bracket 2 of the present invention comprises a support plate 21 and a supporting rod 22, the support plate 21 is vertically arranged, and the support plate 21 is vertically arranged. Figure 2A As shown, the support plate 21 is a hollow vertical plate, and the supporting rod 22 is vertically fixed on the surface of the support plate 21. The supporting rod 22 is a horizontally extending rod-shaped structure. The supporting rod 22 supports the coal sample bottle horizontally. The coal sample bottle is a slender cylindrical structure. Compared with the vertical storage form, the horizontal placement occupies less height space, further increasing the number of bottles.

[0049] The bottle retrieval block 311 can move in a direction parallel to the support rods 22. It has a curved support surface that can pass between the support rods 22 to support the coal sample bottle for transfer and handover. To retrieve a bottle, first adjust the position of the guide rods 312 and the vertical height of the bottle retrieval block 311 on the guide rods 312. At this point, the bottle retrieval block 311 is slightly lower than the coal sample bottle to be removed. The curved support surface of the bottle retrieval block 311 then extends toward the coal sample bottle, reaching below it. The bottle retrieval block 311 then moves slightly upward along the guide rods 312, transferring the coal sample bottle to the bottle retrieval block 311 for subsequent operations. The bottle placement operation is performed in the reverse order.

[0050] The sending and receiving device 4 in the present invention is a pneumatic sending and receiving station, which transports and transfers the coal sample bottles through the air pipe, and the coal sample bottles move along the air pipe under the pneumatic force.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, this is a structural diagram of the transfer vehicle 32; the transfer vehicle 32 adopts an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) trolley, and a mechanical arm 321 and a clamp 322 are set on the transfer vehicle 32. The clamp 322 can take the coal sample bottle from the bottle taking block 311. The mechanical arm 321 drives the clamp 322 to move, and the clamp 322 clamps the coal sample bottle by opening and closing.

[0052] The above description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
