The cylinder body of the material shaking drive cylinder 482 is hinged to the material pouring frame 410, and the piston rod of the material shaking drive cylinder 482 is hinged to the driving end.

[0061] The material shaking driving cylinder 482 can drive the hinged end to move relative to the material unloading frame 410, so that the material shaking rod 481 rotates around the hinged end. When the material shaking rod 481 rotates around the hinged end, the material shaking end can cut into the space above the material guide groove 430 from the outside, and knock the sagger in the flipped state on the flip clamp member 420, so that the sintered material in the sagger can be shaken off under the impact.

[0062] In a further embodiment, a vibrator 431 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the guide trough 430. The vibrator 431 causes the side wall of the guide trough 430 to vibrate continuously to prevent the sintering material from being blocked in the guide trough 430. The vibrator 431 can be pneumatic or electric.

[0063] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the lifting member 241, the positioning claw piece 113, the positioning clamp 322, the left clamp body 422 and the right clamp body 423 are all provided with heat-resistant pads on the side in contact with the sagger. The heat-resistant pads can prevent the heat of the sagger from being transferred along various components to the drive elements such as the cylinder or the motor, which helps to extend the service life of the drive elements.

[0064] When the sagger unloading turntable machine of the present invention is used: first, the rotating disk 220 rotates so that the four placement slots 221 are respectively arranged at the loading station, the crushing station, the unloading station and the unloading station. The four placement slots 221 are aligned with the four jacking mechanisms, and the jacking avoidance space in the middle of the placement slots 221 is aligned with the jacking member 241 up and down. Then, the jacking drive unit 242 drives the jacking member 241 to jack up, and the jacking member 241 rises from the jacking avoidance space in the placement slots 221 to lift the saggers placed in each placement slot 221.

[0065] It is worth noting that at this time, no sagger is placed on the lifting member 241 in the loading station. The sagger on the crushing station is lifted up between the two positioning clamps 322. The sagger on the unloading station is lifted up between the left clamp body 422 and the right clamp body 423.

[0066] At this time, the loading and unloading device 100, the material loosening device 300 and the material pouring device 400 operate simultaneously.

[0067] The transfer driving member 120 drives the sagger gripper 110 to move, and places the sagger obtained from the material source to be unloaded on the lifting member 241 of the loading station. Then the empty sagger on the unloading station is moved to the empty sagger material source. Then another sagger is taken from the material source to be unloaded, and waits for the next loading.

[0068] The positioning drive unit 321 drives the two positioning clamps 322 to clamp toward each other, and clamps the sagger in the crushing station in the center. The crushing drive unit 333 drives the crushing knife 332 to rotate. The lifting drive component 340 drives the crushing component 330 to move downward, so that the crushing knife 332 extends into the sagger of the crushing station. The rotating crushing knife 332 scrapes the sintered material in the sagger through the crushing drill and scraper, crushes and disperses it. Then, the lifting drive component 340 drives the crushing component 330 to retract upward.

[0069] The clamping driving member 424 drives the left clamp body 422 and the right clamp body 423 to move toward each other and clamp the sagger. Then the flip driving member 450 drives the flip clamp member 420 to flip. After flipping into place, the sintered material in the sagger is poured from the sagger into the material guide trough 430, and falls into the receiving bin 440 along the material guide trough 430. In order to avoid incomplete crushing causing the sintered material to still adhere to the inner wall of the sagger, the shaking material driving cylinder 482 can drive the shaking material rod 481 to swing continuously, and continuously knock the flipped sagger or flip clamp member 420 through the shaking material end, so that some sintered materials still attached can be shaken off under the impact. After the dumping is completed, the sagger is flipped back to the dumping station, and the flip clamp member 420 is released to allow the empty sagger to fall on the lifting member 241.

[0070] After the loading and unloading device 100, the loosening device 300 and the pouring device 400 complete the action, the lifting drive unit 242 retracts downward to the bottom of the rotating disk 220, so that the saggers of the loading station, the crushing station and the pouring station are placed downward on the placement groove 221. Afterwards, the turntable driving component 230 drives the rotating disk 220 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the saggers to be unloaded are transferred to the crushing station, the saggers that have completed crushing are transferred to the pouring station, and the empty saggers that have completed pouring are transferred to the unloading station. The lifting component 240 acts to lift up each sagger, and the loading and unloading device 100, the loosening device 300 and the pouring device 400 perform the next round of actions. In this way, the automatic unloading of the saggers is realized.

[0071] In some other embodiments, there are two loading and unloading devices 100. The two loading and unloading devices 100 correspond to the loading station and the unloading station respectively. The loading and unloading are performed simultaneously by the two loading and unloading devices 100, which can effectively shorten the loading and unloading cycle time.

[0072] In some other embodiments, the turntable device 200 has only a loading station, a crushing station and a dumping station. The loading station, the crushing station and the dumping station are evenly arranged, and the rotating disk 220 rotates 120 degrees each time. The loading and unloading device 100 adopts a double-handed claw structure, and the loading and unloading of the sagger is completed at the loading station through two sagger picking and placing claws 110.
