[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an installation and unlocking device includes a first fixed plate 1. An installation and unlocking assembly is provided on the upper surface of the first fixed plate 1. The installation and unlocking assembly includes a rotating disk 2. A pin 3 is provided on the lower surface of the rotating disk 2. A pin hole is provided on the first fixed plate 1. The pin 3 is inserted into the pin hole and can rotate freely. A first rotating body 4 is provided on the upper surface of the rotating disk 2. The first rotating body 4 is provided with a first rotating cavity with its opening facing upward. A first docking plate 5 is provided above the first rotating body 4. The first docking plate 5 is connected to the first fixed plate 1 through a first support plate 6. A first through hole is provided on the first docking plate 5 above the opening of the first rotating cavity. The rotating disk 2 is connected to a rotation drive device. A first sensing device for sensing the orientation of the twist lock cone head is provided in the first rotating cavity. A second sensing device for sensing the twist lock intermediate body is provided on the first docking plate 5. The rotation drive device, the first sensing device, and the second sensing device are all connected to a first processor.

[0024] The rotary drive device includes a first motor 7, which is located on the upper end face of the first fixed plate 1. A helical gear 8 is sleeved on the output shaft of the first motor 7, and an arc-shaped rack 9 is provided on the edge of the rotating disk 2. The helical gear 8 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 9.

[0025] The first rotating body 4 includes two first U-shaped blocks with opposite openings, and the first rotating cavity is rectangular; the first sensing device includes four first pressure deformation plates, which are distributed in a rectangular quadrangular pattern within the first rotating cavity.

[0026] The second sensing device includes a first pressure sensing plate, which is fixed to the upper surface of the first docking plate.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] The movable unlocking device inserts the lower conical head of the twist lock A into the first rotating cavity. The first pressure sensing plate is used to sense the position of the twist lock's intermediate body, thereby determining whether the lower conical head of the twist lock is inserted in place. The first pressure deformation plate is used to sense the orientation of the lower conical head of the twist lock (the conical head will simultaneously contact two first pressure deformation plates in a diagonal relationship within the first rotating cavity, and the signal is transmitted to the first processor, which is responsible for determining the specific rotation direction of the rotating disk and sending a signal to the first motor). The rotation direction is determined by the sensing result, and the first processor controls the first motor to rotate. Through the cooperation of the helical gear and the arc-shaped rack, the rotating disk is driven to rotate accordingly, thereby causing the lower conical head of the twist lock to rotate. Since the upper and lower conical heads of the twist lock are integrated, the upper conical head rotates along with the twist lock, thereby causing the twist lock to disengage from the twist lock box B of the container, thus completing the unlocking operation.

[0029] Insert the conical head of the twist lock into the twist lock box of the container, and then control the first motor to rotate and remove the locking and unlocking device to complete the locking process. This process is the reverse of the unlocking process.

[0030] like Figure 3-5 As shown, a lock-disassembly and disassembly trolley includes a trolley body 10, with wheels 11 at the lower end of the trolley body 10. A first three-axis assembly is mounted on the trolley body 10, including a first linear slide rail 12.

A second slider 16 is slidably connected to the second linear slide rail 15, and an unlocking / disassembly device C is connected to the end of the second slider 16. A second processor is located inside the trolley body 10, and the wheels, the first three-axis assembly, and the first processor are all connected to the second processor. The first three-axis assembly enables the unlocking / disassembly device to move in three directions and automatically docks with the torsion lock according to instructions.

[0031] The unlocking device C is equipped with a laser sensor and a first camera (integrated together, located at position 17), both of which are connected to the second processor. The laser sensor and the first camera are used to acquire the position of the container and the torsion lock, and the first processor uses the position information to send commands to the first three-axis assembly.

[0032] The vehicle body 10 is equipped with a GPSBD system, which is connected to the second processor. The GPSBD system is used to obtain the relative position of the vehicle and the container. The second processor uses the relative position to set the vehicle's travel route and thus control the movement of the wheels.

[0033] The main body 10 of the trolley is equipped with a transfer device and a storage device, which are used to remove, transfer and store the twist lock on the unlocking device.

[0034] The transfer device includes a second three-axis assembly, which includes a second lifting platform 18. The lower end of the second lifting platform 18 is connected to the upper end of the trolley body 10. A third linear slide rail 19 is provided on the upper end of the second lifting platform 18. A third slider 20 is slidably connected to the third linear slide rail 19. A fourth linear slide rail 21 is provided on the third slider 20. The sliding direction of the fourth linear slide rail 21 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the third linear slide rail 19. A fourth slider 22 is slidably connected to the fourth linear slide rail 21. A transfer component D is provided on the fourth slider 22. The transfer component includes a second fixed plate 23. A second motor 24 is provided on the upper end of the second fixed plate 23. A second rotating body 25 is provided below the second fixed plate 23. The output shaft of the second motor 24 passes through the second fixed plate 23 and is connected to the upper end of the second rotating body 25. The second rotating body 25 has an opening facing downwards. The second rotating cavity has a second docking plate 26 located below the second rotating body. The second docking plate 26 is connected to the second fixed plate 23 via a second support plate 27. A second through hole is provided on the second docking plate 26 below the opening of the second rotating cavity. A third sensing device for sensing the orientation of the twist lock cone head is provided inside the second rotating cavity. A fourth sensing device for sensing the twist lock intermediate body is provided on the second docking plate. The second rotating body 25 includes two second U-shaped blocks with opposite openings. The second rotating cavity is rectangular. The third sensing device includes four second pressure deformation plates, which are distributed in a rectangular quadrature pattern inside the second rotating cavity. The fourth sensing device includes a second pressure sensing plate, which is fixed to the lower surface of the second docking plate 26. The second three-axis assembly, the second motor, the third sensing device, and the fourth sensing device are all connected to the second processor. The function of the second three-axis assembly is the same as that of the first three-axis assembly, which is used to realize the movement of the transfer assembly in three directions. The function of the transfer assembly is the same as that of the loading and unloading device, which completes the work of removing the twist lock from the loading and unloading device by rotating the twist lock cone head.

[0035] The storage device includes two parallel and opposite support plates 28. The lower ends of the two support plates 28 are connected to the upper end face of the trolley body 10. Five parallel storage lock plate groups are arranged between the two support plates 28. Each storage lock plate group includes two guide rails 29. The two guide rails 29 are respectively fixed to the inner side of the corresponding side support plate 28. A storage lock plate 30 is slidably connected between the two guide rails 29. Each storage lock plate 30 is provided with a plurality of storage lock holes 31. A contact limiting plate 32 is provided on the lower end face of the storage lock plate 30 on the side of the space of each storage lock hole 31. A pressure switch is provided on the upper end face of each storage lock plate 30 on the side of the space of each storage lock hole 31, or a second camera is provided on the entire upper part of each storage lock plate group. The storage lock plate adopts a push-pull structure. According to actual needs, the storage lock plate can be pulled out to expose the storage lock plate to be stored. The transfer component delivers the twist lock to the top of the storage lock plate and inserts the twist lock downward into the preset storage lock hole. During the insertion process, the lower conical head of the twist lock rotates under the action of the contact limit plate, so that the upper conical head leaves the transfer component along with the rotation, completing the storage of the twist lock. A pressure switch or a second camera is used to determine the completion of the twist lock storage.

[0036] This invention discloses an unlocking device and a lock-disassembly trolley using the device, which automatically completes the disassembly and assembly of semi-automatic twist locks, replacing manual operation, improving work efficiency, and eliminating safety hazards for operators working in risky environments.
