Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of curved block merging equipment, and in particular to a curved block gap adjustment and stacking device and a curved block merging and framing system and method. Background Art

[0002] In the process of making koji in a winery, the fresh koji blocks need to go through two stages before they can become finished products for use. First, the wet koji blocks are placed in a room (koji room) for fermentation and cultivation for a period of time. After the fermentation is completed, the dry koji blocks need to be stored in a warehouse (koji warehouse) for further storage and aging for several months before they can be used for brewing. The above fermentation and storage stages have completely different requirements for the arrangement and placement of koji blocks (i.e. "stacking koji"). During the fermentation period, each koji block needs to be separated from its adjacent koji blocks in any direction by a certain distance, but during the storage period, each koji block needs to be stacked as closely as possible without leaving any gaps.

[0003] Under modern mechanized production operations, many wineries use koji racks to place koji blocks during fermentation, and koji frames to stack koji blocks during storage. Based on the requirements of the above-mentioned koji production process characteristics, it can be known that the form and size of koji racks and koji frames are quite different, and the fermented koji blocks must be placed in koji frames.

[0004] The loading of koji blocks into frames is one of the most labor-intensive processes in the entire koji production process. If manual operation is adopted, the working space of each koji frame is limited, and many people are needed to work simultaneously at different koji frames to complete the work on schedule. This requires a large number of personnel and the labor cost of the winery is relatively high. Manually taking tons of koji blocks out of the koji racks and moving them into frames for stacking is very labor-intensive for the operators. In addition, after the fresh koji blanks are fermented and become dry koji blocks, dust and debris will be produced on the surface. A large amount of dust will be generated during the moving process, and direct contact with personnel for a long time will have a great harm to their physical and mental health. From the perspective of ergonomics, the limits of body structure determine the range that manual operation can reach and effectively exert, which means that the koji racks and koji frames must be limited to a size that can be completed by people of average size. Therefore, the number of layers of the koji racks and the capacity of the koji frames are very limited.

[0005] The current block loading mechanism that the industry is trying to develop uses a robot instead of manual labor. If a robot is used to take out each block and load it into the frame, the production rate is too slow to meet the requirements. In order to ensure efficiency, multiple blocks on a layer of the frame are pushed into the frame at the same time. The blocks will naturally disperse during the fall, and will clash with each other when falling into the frame. After they are finally in place, they cannot be neatly and tightly stacked, leaving large gaps. During the storage of dry koji, heat is lost quickly, the temperature cannot be raised on schedule, the temperature cannot be reached, and insulation is difficult, which cannot meet the process requirements of dry koji storage.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for framing a curved frame, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: The transport vehicle transports a group of curved frames filled with curved blocks to the in-curved chain conveyor, and the in-curved chain conveyor transports the curved frames. The transport vehicle transports the empty curved frames to the out-curved chain conveyor, and the out-curved chain conveyor transports the curved frames;

[0016] Step 2: When conveying to the end of the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device, the walking trolley drives the suspension frame to move to the end of the curved frame away from the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device, and the telescopic mechanism is started to drive the curved push plate to move, so as to push the curved block into the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device;

[0017] Step 3: The lifting mechanism drives the gap adjustment tray to move downward to adjust the gap between the gap adjustment trays. After the gap adjustment is completed, the walking chassis drives the supporting frame to move forward, and then the rotary drive mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the push cylinder is started.

[0020] In the preferred scheme, in the step one, after the lifting and adjusting device drives the height of the pick-up chain conveyor to drop, the chain guide rail of the pick-up chain conveyor is consistent with the height of the fork of the transport vehicle, and the transport vehicle transports the curved frame filled with curved blocks and the empty curved frame to the corresponding pick-up chain conveyor, and cooperates with the conveyor's fork height lifting to separate the curved frame or curved frame from the conveyor, and then the pick-up chain conveyor returns to its original height and is flush with the chain guide rail of the incoming curved chain conveyor or the outgoing curved chain conveyor.

[0021] The invention provides a device for adjusting gaps and stacking curved blocks and a system and method for framing curved blocks, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0022] Compared with the prior art, this patent has the following advantages:

[0023] 1. The unloading and framing of the curved blocks are mechanized and automated, and almost no manpower is consumed.

[0024] 2. While pushing the curved blocks out of the curved rack, the curved blocks on each layer are forced to close together. After the curved blocks are out of the rack, they are gathered into a pile and then sent into the curved frame. The size of the curved frame is not limited by the size of the curved rack.

[0025] 3. The pushing mechanism of the curved block unloading device adopts a layered pushing structure, and each layer is independently controlled.

[0026] The curved blocks of the corresponding layer on the curved rack are pushed out, and the gap adjusting and stacking device no longer has to be equal to the number of layers of the curved rack, and can be flexibly set according to the overall planning of the process.

[0027] 4. The tray group of the gap-adjusting and stacking device adopts a layered structure. Each layer is independently controlled. The gap between two adjacent layers of koji blocks is adjustable. The tray group can be raised and lowered, so the number of layers of the koji rack is no longer limited and can be flexibly set according to the needs of fermentation. The tray group of the gap-adjusting and stacking device is used to receive koji blocks from the koji rack. Each layer of trays is independently controlled to force the koji blocks between layers to be close together. In this way, the koji blocks are arranged as closely as possible before entering the frame, and then they will not be scattered when entering the frame as a whole, and they will still remain densely stacked in the koji frame.

[0028] 5. The block-into-frame device stores the blocks of the entire frame and then stores them together. It no longer uses the method of dropping them in layers, so as to ensure that the blocks are neatly and tightly stacked and not scattered after they are put into the frame. The block-into-frame device stores the blocks of the entire frame each time, and then sends these blocks into the frame together. The tray group of the block-into-frame device extends into the frame together with the blocks, and then the tray retreats. The baffle plate behind the tray blocks the blocks from exiting with the tray. In this way, after each tray completely exits the frame, the blocks remain in the frame and are still stacked in the form of gap adjustment before. They will not be scattered, and dense stacking is achieved to meet the process requirements of dry koji storage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a curved framing system comprises a curved inlet chain conveyor 1, a curved block out-of-rack device 2, a curved block gap adjusting and stacking device 3 and a curved outlet chain conveyor 4 which are arranged in sequence.

[0042] like Figures 5 and 6As shown, the curved block unloading device 2 includes a transverse guide rail 201 arranged above the curved chain conveyor 1, the transverse guide rail 201 is arranged vertically to the curved chain conveyor 1, the transverse guide rail 201 is connected to the support frame 202, a walking trolley 204 suspended on the transverse guide rail 201 is provided on the top of the suspension frame 203, and a plurality of layers of unloading pushing mechanisms are provided on the suspension frame 203. The unloading pushing mechanisms include a telescopic mechanism 205 and a pushing plate 206 arranged at the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 205. The telescopic mechanism 205 can use a cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0043] During operation, the walking trolley 204 drives the suspension frame 203 to move to one side of the in-curved chain conveyor 1 without affecting the transportation of the curved frame 8 on the in-curved chain conveyor 1. After the loaded curved frame 8 arrives at the unloading station along the in-curved chain conveyor 1, the walking trolley 204 drives the suspension frame 203 to move to the end of the curved frame 8 away from the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3 and aligns with the curved frame 8. After the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3 is in place at the other end of the loaded curved frame 8, the telescopic mechanism 205 is started to drive the pushing plate 206 to move, and the curved block is pushed into the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3. The telescopic mechanism 205 of the curved block unloading device 2 retracts, and the walking trolley 204 drives the suspension frame 203 to move to one side of the in-curved chain conveyor 1, and the curved frame 8 after unloading is transported back along the original route.

[0044] Each layer of the out-of-rack pushing mechanism is independently controlled, and any layer can be instructed to move and push the curved blocks. When the number of layers of the curved rack and the subsequent curved block gap adjustment and stacking device is not equal, any one or several layers of the out-of-rack pushing mechanism can be instructed to push the curved blocks of that layer into the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3.

[0045] Preferably, a reduction guide structure is provided on one side of the curved block out-of-rack device, and the reduction guide mechanism includes a support plate 207 provided on one side of the curved block out-of-rack device and corresponding to each layer of the curved rack, and the support plate 207 is supported by a bracket 208, and guide plates 209 are provided on both sides of the support plate 207, so that the discharge port of the curved block is gradually reduced, thereby reducing the gap between the curved blocks. In specific use, a cylinder can also be provided at the guide plate position to assist the curved blocks to close together. The push curved plate 206 only contacts the last row of curved blocks, and then the latter row pushes the former row to move, so that the front and rear adjacent rows are also forced to close together, so that each layer of curved blocks can be closed together in two directions on the plane when leaving the device.

[0046] like Figure 4As shown, a curved block gap adjustment and stacking device includes a chassis bracket 301, on which a track 302 is provided, and there are two tracks 302. The running wheels of a walking chassis 303 cooperate with the track 302 so that the walking chassis 303 can walk along the track 302. A support frame 304 is rotatably mounted on the walking chassis 303 through a slewing bearing 305 to adjust the direction of the support frame 304. The support frame 304 is slewed by a slewing drive mechanism. When in use, the slewing bearing 305 adopts a slewing bearing with gear teeth inside or outside. The slewing drive mechanism includes a slewing drive motor and a gear connected to the output end of the slewing drive motor, and the gear is meshed with the gear teeth of the slewing bearing 305.

[0047] A plurality of gap adjustment trays 306 are arranged in layers on the support frame 304, and the gap adjustment trays 306 are lifted and lowered by a lifting mechanism 307, and a material pushing mechanism is arranged on the upper side of the gap adjustment tray 306. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 307 is a scissor lift, and the lifting mechanism 307 can also be a cylinder electric push rod or an electro-hydraulic push rod.

[0048] The pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder 308 and a pushing plate 309 arranged at the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder 308. The block discharging device 2 pushes the blocks in the frame 8 into the gap adjusting tray 306 of the block gap adjusting and stacking device 3. After several operations, the gap adjusting tray 306 is filled with blocks. During the pushing process, the gap between the blocks on the horizontal plane is reduced.

[0049] After the gap adjusting tray 306 is filled with curved blocks, the walking chassis 303 drives the supporting frame 304 to move to the left, so that there is a certain gap between the gap adjusting tray group and the curved block out-of-rack device 2 to avoid collision. During the movement, the lifting mechanism 307 drives the gap adjusting tray 306 to move downward, so that the gap between the two layers of gap adjusting trays 306 is reduced, thereby achieving the stacking of curved blocks.

[0050] Then the rotary drive mechanism drives the support frame 304 to rotate 180°, at which time the gap adjustment tray 306 faces the left, the pushing cylinder 308 is started, and the pushing plate 309 pushes the curved blocks in the curved frame 8 to the curved frame 9 on the curved chain conveyor 4 for transportation.

[0051] Preferably, a curved block entering frame device 5 is provided between the curved block gap adjusting and stacking device 3 and the curved chain conveyor 4. By providing the curved block entering frame device 5, on the one hand, it can ensure that the curved blocks enter the curved frame 9 smoothly. The curved block entering frame device adopts the method of storing the curved blocks of the entire curved frame and then entering the frame together, and no longer adopts the method of dropping them in layers, so as to ensure that the curved blocks are still neatly and tightly stacked and not scattered after entering the frame. On the other hand, it can make the entire system have a "U"-shaped layout, reducing the length requirement for the production line.

[0052] like Figure 7-8As shown, the curved block entry device 5 includes a chassis track 501 arranged at the end of the curved block gap adjusting and stacking device 3, the chassis track 501 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the curved chain conveyor 4, the mobile frame 502 cooperates with the chassis track 501, and the mobile frame 502 is provided with a frame entry guide rail 503, the frame entry guide rail 503 is arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the curved chain conveyor 4, the telescopic pallet group cooperates with the frame entry guide rail 503, the telescopic pallet group includes a plurality of groups of pallets 504 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the pallets 504 are slidably installed in the telescopic pallet group frame 505, and a frame entry telescopic mechanism is arranged in the telescopic pallet group frame 505 corresponding to the pallets 504, and a material baffle plate 506 is provided on the telescopic pallet group frame 505 corresponding to each group of pallets 504, and the material baffle plate 506 is arranged on the upper side of the end of the pallet 504 away from the curved chain conveyor 4.

[0053] like Fig.10 As shown, the mobile frame 502 moves along the chassis track 501 to the side of the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3, the telescopic tray group moves along the frame entry guide rail 503, the frame entry telescopic mechanism drives the tray 504 to extend, the push cylinder 308 pushes the material plate 309 to push the curved block in the curved frame 8 into the tray 504, the telescopic tray group retracts into the mobile frame 502 along the frame entry guide rail 503, the mobile frame 502 moves along the chassis track 501 to the side of the curved chain conveyor 4, the tray 504 is aligned with the curved frame 9, the telescopic tray group moves along the frame entry guide rail 503, the tray 504 extends into the curved frame 9, the frame entry telescopic mechanism drives the tray 504 to retract, and under the obstruction of the material blocking plate 506, the curved block cannot retreat with the tray 504, so the curved block stays in the curved frame 9 until the tray 504 is completely retracted and completely separated from the curved block. Then the curved block frame entry device 5 returns to the side of the block gap adjustment and stacking device 3 according to the opposite steps to prepare for the next work.

[0054] Preferably, the ends of the inward curved chain conveyor 1 and the outward curved chain conveyor 4 are both provided with a pick-up chain conveyor 6, and a lifting and adjusting device is provided at the bottom of the pick-up chain conveyor 6. The lifting and adjusting device can be set as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0055] Generally, the curved frame or curved frame is picked up and delivered by the AGV transporter, but there is a certain height difference between the height of the fork of the commonly used AGV transporter and the height of the incoming curved chain conveyor 1 or the outgoing curved chain conveyor 4. Therefore, when the AGV transporter picks up and delivers the curved frame, the pick-up chain conveyor 6 first drops a certain height to match its own chain guide with the height of the fork of the AGV transporter, and the AGV transporter can place the loaded curved frame on the pick-up chain conveyor 6; thereafter, the height of the fork of the pick-up chain conveyor 6 or the AGV transporter can be slightly raised or lowered to separate the loaded curved frame and the AGV transporter, or the empty curved frame 102 is placed on the pick-up chain conveyor 6, and then the height of the fork of the pick-up chain conveyor 6 or the AGV transporter can be slightly raised or lowered to separate the empty curved frame and the pick-up chain conveyor 6. The same is true for the lifting work of the outgoing curved chain conveyor 4 and the connection with the AGV transporter.

[0056] The pick-up and delivery chain conveyor 6 can be equipped with a weighing device. When the pick-up and delivery chain conveyor 6 receives the loaded curved frame and the empty curved frame, and when the outgoing curved chain conveyor 4 receives the loaded curved frame and the empty curved frame, they can be weighed and measured. The weight of the received / sent curved block can be obtained by subtracting the tare weight from the total weight. The two weighing devices can accumulate counts and compare them with each other.

[0057] Preferably, Fig. 9 As shown, a branch track dislocation device 7 is provided between the inward curved chain conveyor 1 and the pick-up chain conveyor 6 and between the outward curved chain conveyor 4 and the pick-up chain conveyor 6. The branch track dislocation device 7 includes a support rail 701 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the pick-up chain conveyor 6 and two groups of dislocated chain conveyors 702. A walking mechanism cooperating with the support rail 701 is provided at the bottom of the dislocated chain conveyor 702.

[0058] During operation, the empty curved frame first moves along the incoming curved chain conveyor 1 to one of the dislocated chain conveyors 702, and the dislocated chain conveyor 702 carrying the empty curved frame moves along the support track 701. At the same time, another dislocated chain conveyor 702 moves along the support track 701 and is aligned with the pick-up chain conveyor 6 and the incoming curved chain conveyor 1. Then, the curved frame equipped with curved blocks is transported through the pick-up chain conveyor 6, the dislocated chain conveyor 702 and the incoming curved chain conveyor 1 in sequence. Then, the dislocated chain conveyor 702 carrying the empty curved frame moves in the opposite direction, docks with the pick-up chain conveyor 6 and the incoming curved chain conveyor 1, and transports the empty curved frame out. This realizes the transportation and giving way of the loaded curved frame and the empty curved frame, and realizes the continuous turnover of the curved frame.

[0059] The operation of the curved frame is the same as that of the curved stand described above.

The transport vehicle transports the empty curved frames 9 to the outlet curved chain conveyor 4, and the outlet curved chain conveyor 4 transports the curved frames 9;

[0062] Step 2: When conveying to the end of the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3, the walking trolley 204 drives the suspension frame 203 to move to the end of the curved frame 8 away from the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3, and the telescopic mechanism 205 is started to drive the curved push plate 206 to move, and the curved frame 8 is pushed into the curved block gap adjustment and stacking device 3;

[0063] Step 3: The lifting mechanism 307 drives the gap adjustment tray 306 to move downward to adjust the gap between the gap adjustment trays 306. After the gap adjustment is completed, the walking chassis 303 drives the supporting frame 304 to move forward, and then the rotary drive mechanism drives the rotating shaft 305 to rotate, and the pushing cylinder 308 is started. The pushing plate 309 pushes the curved block in the curved frame 8 to the curved frame 9 on the curved chain conveyor 4 for conveying;

[0064] Step 4: The telescopic mechanism 205 of the curved block unloading device 2 is retracted, and the traveling trolley 204 drives the suspension frame 203 to move to the side of the curved inlet chain conveyor 1, and the curved frame 8 after unloading is transported back along the original route.

[0065] Example 2: Different from Example 1, in step 1, after the lifting and adjusting device drives the pick-up chain conveyor 6 to drop in height, the chain guide of the pick-up chain conveyor 6 is consistent in height with the fork of the transport vehicle, and the transport vehicle transports the curved frame 8 filled with curved blocks and the empty curved frame 9 to the corresponding pick-up chain conveyor 6, and the curved frame 8 or the curved frame 9 is separated from the conveyor by coordinating the height lifting of the fork of the conveyor, and then the pick-up chain conveyor 6 returns to its original height and is flush with the chain guide of the incoming curved chain conveyor 1 or the outgoing curved chain conveyor 4.
