DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-9 As shown, a silo conveying structure 5 includes a conveying frame 54 and a lifting assembly 52. The conveying frame 54 is provided with a discharge frame 51 for placing the silo 2. Conveying tracks are provided on both sides of the discharge frame 51. The lifting assembly 52 is provided at the bottom of the discharge frame 51. The silo 2 on the conveying track is lifted and positioned by the lifting assembly 52.

[0030] Movable baffle plates 21 are provided on both sides of the silo 2, and an unlocking component 53 matching the movable baffle plate 21 is provided on the conveying frame 54. The unlocking component 53 includes a lifting frame 532 and a lifting drive 531. The lifting frame 532 is connected to the conveying frame 54 through the lifting drive 531, and the lifting frame 532 is slidably arranged on the conveying frame 54. An unlocking component is provided on the lifting frame 532, which drives the unlocking component to be connected to the movable baffle plate 21 through the lifting drive 531 and drives the movable baffle to rotate and open and close.

[0031] After the present invention lifts and positions the silo 2 on the conveying track through the lifting component 52, the lifting driver 531 drives the unlocking component to connect with the movable baffle plate 21 and drives the movable baffle to rotate and open and close, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the movable baffle plate 21 on the silo 2, effectively avoiding the problem of material scattering caused by the transportation of the silo 2, and facilitating the stable material removal and loading of the products; at the same time, the lifting component 52 lifts and positions the silo 2, which can accurately realize the positioning of the magazine silo 2, so that the semi-finished product can be loaded stably. The present invention can make production more convenient and improve the safety of manual loading and unloading.

[0032] The unlocking component includes an unlocking driver 533, which is arranged on the lifting frame 532. The unlocking driver 533 is driven and connected to the unlocking rod 534. The movable baffle plate 21 is connected to the hopper 2 through the rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 is provided with an unlocking groove, and the unlocking rod 534 is provided with an unlocking block 535 that matches the unlocking groove. The unlocking rod 534 is driven to rotate by the unlocking driver 533 to drive the movable baffle plate 21 to rotate along the rotating shaft 22.

[0033] Specifically, the unlocking drive 533 drives the unlocking rod 534 to rotate, thereby driving the movable baffle plate 21 to rotate along the rotating shaft 22 to realize automatic opening and closing of the silo 2. The unlocking drive 533 controls the rotation direction, number of circles and speed of the rotating shaft 22, and the opening and closing degree and opening and closing speed of the movable baffle plate 21 can be arbitrarily controlled, which can effectively isolate the products on the silo 2 from the outside world. It has the advantages of scientific design, simple structure, low cost and good opening and closing effect.

[0034] At the same time, the location for installing the unlocking rod 534 does not require too much space, which expands the scope of use of the device. It is easy to install and economical and practical. The unlocking rod 534 can greatly reduce the occupied space, thereby achieving the purpose of further improving space utilization; its structure is simple and easy to operate, which can greatly reduce the economic cost of the enterprise.

[0035] An upper stop block 55 is provided on the discharge frame 51, and a lower stop block 56 is provided on the conveying frame 54. Elastic buffer plates are provided on the upper stop block 55 and the lower stop block 56. A buffer block 57 and a limit pin are provided on the top of the discharge frame 51. A hydraulic buffer 58 is provided on the buffer block 57, and the limit pin is passed through the limit hole position of the silo 2.

[0036] Specifically, the conveying track conveys the silo 2 until it abuts against the upper stop block 55 and the lower stop block 56, ensuring the position of the silo 2 on the discharge frame 51, while preventing the silo 2 from moving in the conveying direction, thereby improving transmission stability.

[0037] The jacking assembly 52 includes a jacking frame 522 and a jacking bracket. The jacking frame 522 is arranged at the bottom of the discharge frame 51. A jacking driver 521 is provided on the jacking frame 522. The jacking driver 521 is driven and connected to the jacking bracket. The jacking bracket is slidably mounted on the jacking frame 522. A jacking plate 523 is provided on the jacking bracket. The jacking plate 523 is provided with a positioning pin 45 matching the silo 2.

[0038] Specifically, the lifting driver 521 drives the lifting plate 523 to lift the hopper 2 until it abuts against the hydraulic buffer 58, thereby ensuring the stability of the hopper 2 when unlocking, avoiding unlocking failure caused by shaking of the hopper 2, improving the unlocking accuracy, and stably positioning the magazine hopper 2, so that semi-finished products or products can be loaded stably.

[0039] The conveying track includes a track frame, on which a plurality of driving wheels 59 and driven wheels 591 are provided. The driving wheels 59 and the driven wheels 591 are spaced apart. A conveying driver 592 is provided on the track frame, and the conveying driver 592 is driven and connected to the driving wheels 59. A guide groove 594 is provided on the track frame, and a guide wheel 593 is provided on the guide groove 594. The diameter of the guide wheel 593 is greater than the depth of the guide groove 594 so that the guide wheel 593 extends out of the guide groove 594 and abuts against the silo 2.

[0040] Specifically, the conveying of the silo 2 is achieved by driving the driving wheel 59 to rotate through the conveying driver 592. Multiple driving wheels 59 can ensure the stability of the transmission of the silo 2. The driven wheel 591 can fill the space between adjacent driving wheels 59 to ensure the smoothness of the conveying and the stability of the loading, so that the loading can be done quickly and safely.

[0041] The diameter of the guide wheel 593 is greater than the depth of the guide groove 594 so that the guide wheel 593 extends out of the guide groove 594 and abuts against the silo 2.

[0042] It also includes a lifting component 3, which includes a lifting linear module 31. A support frame 32 is provided on the lifting linear module 31. The conveying frame 54 is connected to the support frame 32, and the conveying frame 54 is driven to move up and down by the lifting linear module 31.

[0043] Specifically, the lifting linear module 31 drives the conveyor frame 54 to move up and down, which can effectively improve the handling efficiency, and can automatically lift and lower to prevent the material frame from being damaged by collision. The lifting linear module 31 is very precise and can fully realize close control of the lifting process. Therefore, the present invention can control the lifting height of the conveyor frame 54.

[0044] Two limit blocks 23 are provided on the silo 2, and the rotating shaft 22 is passed through the two limit blocks 23. The rotating shaft 22 is connected to the movable material baffle plate 21 through a limit plate 24. A limit groove 25 matching the limit plate 24 is provided on the limit block 23. The unlocking rod 534 is driven by the lifting driver 531 to lift the rotating shaft 22 so that the limit plate 24 is disengaged from the limit groove 25. After the rotating shaft 22 rotates, the material is dropped into the other limit groove 25 to realize the limited opening and closing of the movable material baffle plate 21.

[0045] Specifically, the unlocking rod 534 is driven by the lifting driver 531 to lift the rotating shaft 22 so that the limit plate 24 is disengaged from the limit groove 25. After the rotating shaft 22 rotates, it falls into the other limit groove 25 to realize the limited opening and closing of the movable baffle plate 21. The rotating shaft 22 rotates after being lifted, which effectively avoids the rotating shaft 22 being stuck due to direct rotation of the rotating shaft 22, thereby ensuring the stability of opening and closing. The above structure can greatly improve the utilization rate of space; it can greatly reduce the occupied space, thereby achieving the purpose of further improving the utilization rate of space; it has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which can greatly reduce the economic cost of the enterprise.

[0046] It also includes a storage mechanism 1, which includes a plurality of storage racks 11, which are stacked together. The storage racks 11 are provided with a conveying channel 12 for accommodating the silo 2, and a feeding track 13 on the conveying channel 12. Guide rollers 14 are provided on both sides of the conveying channel 12. Both ends of the storage rack 11 are provided with a blocking cylinder 15, and the piston rod end of the blocking cylinder 15 is provided with a blocking plate 16, which conveys the silo 2 to the discharge frame 51 through the feeding track 13.

[0047] Specifically, the feeding track 13 has the same structure as the conveying track. A perfect transition of the silo 2 is achieved through the feeding track 13 and the conveying track, ensuring the stability of the conveying silo 2. At the same time, the feeding track 13 and the conveying track of the same structure can work in a coordinated manner to further avoid shaking of the silo 2 and ensure the stability of the silo 2 transmission process.

[0048] By stacking multiple storage racks 11, they can be flexibly adjusted according to changes in storage needs, effectively utilizing the available storage space. The multiple storage racks 11 are transported synchronously, saving a significant amount of time and improving work efficiency. Therefore, the present invention saves time and has high work efficiency. The stacking arrangement not only improves work efficiency but also facilitates maintenance and repair.

[0049] A limiting frame 17 is provided on the material storage rack 11, a limiting cylinder 18 is provided on the limiting frame 17, a limiting baffle 19 is provided at the end of the piston rod of the limiting cylinder 18, and the limiting baffle 19 is slidably provided on the limiting frame 17. The limiting cylinder 18 drives the limiting baffle 19 to pass through the conveying channel 12 to block the conveyed silo 2.

[0050] Specifically, the limiting cylinder 18 drives the limiting baffle 19 to penetrate the conveying channel 12 to block the conveyed silo 2. The limiting baffle 19 limits the silo 2 to prevent the silo 2 from leaking from the internal storage rack 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the silo 2 during transportation.

[0051] It also includes a material picking mechanism 4, which includes a material picking robot 47, a material picking rack is provided on the material picking robot 47, a material picking plate 43 is provided on the material picking rack, and a material picking suction cup 42 is provided on the material picking plate 43. The material picking robot 47 drives the material picking suction cup 42 to suck the carrier plate on the silo 2.

[0052] The material picking robot 47 is a multi-axis robot. The preferred solution of the present invention is that the material picking robot 47 is a three-axis linear module. The three-axis linear module can drive the material picking suction cup 42 on the material picking plate 43 to move in space, and can quickly and accurately grab the products on the silo 2, meeting the requirements of grabbing the products themselves, improving efficiency, reducing costs, liberating manpower, and avoiding safety issues caused by manual handling of products one by one.

[0053] The picking plate 43 is provided with a positioning block 44, and a positioning pin 45 is passed through the positioning block 44. The positioning pin 45 is connected to the sliding frame. The sliding frame 41 is slidably provided on the picking plate 43. The sliding frame is driven by a positioning cylinder 46. The positioning cylinder 46 is provided on the picking plate 43. The positioning cylinder 46 drives the sliding frame to reciprocate along the picking plate 43, driving the positioning pin 45 to extend or retract from the positioning block 44.

[0054] Specifically, the function of the sliding frame is to convert the linear motion of the positioning cylinder 46 into driving the positioning pin 45 to move up and down. It is a commonly used structure by people in this field. The sliding frame of the present invention is preferably provided with an inclined groove, and the positioning pin 45 is connected to the inclined groove through an inclined rod. Through the above structure, the positioning cylinder 46 can achieve the effect of driving the positioning pin 45 to move up and down.

[0055] Usage process

[0056] The silo 2 is discharged one by one onto the storage rack 11, and the silo 2 is transported by the feeding track 13. The blocking plates 16 on both sides of the storage rack 11 can prevent the silo 2 from falling from the storage rack 11 to ensure the transportation stability. After the position of the silo 2 is limited by the blocking plates 16 and the limit baffles 19 provided on the conveying channel 12, the lifting linear module 31 drives the conveying frame 54 to approach the discharge end of the storage rack 11, and after aligning with the discharge end of the storage rack 11, the conveying frame 54 is opened. The limiting baffle 19 and the blocking plate 16 convey the silo 2 to the material discharging frame 51, and the conveying track conveys the silo 2 until it abuts against the upper stop block 55 and the lower stop block 56. The jacking driver 521 drives the jacking plate 523 to lift the silo 2 until it abuts against the hydraulic buffer 58. The lifting driver 531 drives the unlocking rod 534 to insert into the unlocking groove on the rotating shaft 22, and lifts the rotating shaft 22 so that the limiting plate 24 is disengaged from the limiting groove 25. The unlocking driver 533 drives the unlocking lever 534 to rotate and drive the movable material baffle plate 21 to rotate along the rotating shaft 22, and the rotated limit plate 24 drops the material into the other limit groove 25 to realize the opening of the movable material baffle plate 21, and the material picking robot 47 drives the material picking suction cup 42 to suck and unload the carrier or product on the hopper 2 one by one; after the hopper 2 on the conveying track is lifted and positioned by the jacking assembly 52, the lifting driver 531 drives the unlocking component to connect with the movable material baffle plate 21 and drive the movable baffle to rotate and open and close, realizing the opening and closing of the movable material baffle plate 21 on the hopper 2, effectively avoiding the problem of material scattering caused by the conveying of the hopper 2, facilitating the stable material picking and loading of the product; at the same time, the jacking assembly 52 lifts and positions the hopper 2, which can accurately realize the positioning of the magazine hopper 2, so that the semi-finished product can be stably loaded.
