[0068] The lifting mechanism 100 is provided with a first transmission mechanism 104, a lifting plate 103 and a lifting device 120. The first transmission mechanism 104 transfers the stacked curbstones to the lifting plate 103 and the lifting device 120 drives the lifting plate 103 to lift upward.

The whole process is fully mechanized, which greatly improves the laying efficiency and reduces the labor cost required; at the same time, when laying the curbstones, the device does not require manual assistance, and the operator does not need to participate in heavy work, which reduces people's labor intensity.
[0072] The structure of the lifting mechanism 100 is further described below:
[0073] The lifting mechanism 100 is provided with a longitudinal lifting bracket 102 installed at the rear of the vehicle frame 11, and the first transmission mechanism 104 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the longitudinal lifting bracket 102. The lifting plate 103 is driven by the lifting device 120 on the longitudinal lifting bracket 102 to perform lifting and lowering movements in the vertical direction of the first transmission mechanism 104. The lifting plate 103 is provided with an open groove corresponding to the position of the first transmission mechanism 104 so that the lifting plate 103 can be lowered below the upper surface of the first transmission mechanism 104. A storage bracket 130 is installed at the bottom of the rear side of the lifting bracket. The front end of the storage bracket 130 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rear side of the longitudinal lifting bracket 102. The storage bracket 130 can be turned upside down and folded for storage with the front end as the rotation point (such as Figure 3b and 3c As shown), a second conveying mechanism 132 is provided on the storage support 130; the storage support 130 conveys the stacked curbstones forward in the X direction to the first conveying mechanism 104, and the first conveying mechanism 104 continues to convey the curbstones forward to the lifting plate 103.
[0074] In an optional embodiment, a lifting device 120 is installed on the longitudinal lifting bracket 102 and is located on both sides of the lifting plate 103 in the Y direction. Each lifting device 120 includes a lifting cylinder 121 and a lifting chain 122. The lifting cylinder 121 is vertically fixed on the longitudinal lifting bracket 102; the two ends of the lifting chain 122 are fixedly connected to the lifting plate 103 and the top rod of the lifting cylinder 121, or the two ends of the lifting chain 122 are respectively located on both sides of the lifting cylinder 121 and cross the top rod of the lifting cylinder 121, one end of the lifting chain 122 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 103, and the other end is fixed to the longitudinal lifting bracket 102 on one side of the lifting cylinder 121. The top rod of the lifting cylinder 121 slides upward to drive the end of the lifting chain 122 to move upward, and the two groups of lifting chains 122 drive the middle lifting plate 103 to be steadily lifted.
[0075] In an optional embodiment, vertical guide channel steel rails 105 are provided on the longitudinal lifting bracket 102 and are located on both sides of the lifting plate 103. A lifting web 106 is slidably installed up and down on each vertical guide channel steel rail 105, and one end of the lifting chain 122 and the lifting plate 103 are fixedly connected to the lifting web 106.
[0076] In an optional embodiment, the storage bracket 130 is installed at the bottom of the longitudinal lifting bracket 102 through the reset flip bracket 131, and a spring support 135 is installed at the bottom of the longitudinal lifting bracket 102;
[0077] A limit steel pipe 138 and a return spring 137 are installed at the bottom of the reset flip bracket 131. The limit steel pipe 138 passes through the two baffles 136 on the back of the reset flip bracket 131 in sequence and is rotatably connected to the spring support 135. The return spring 137 is sleeved on the limit steel pipe 138 between the two baffles 136.
[0078] The lateral width of the storage bracket 130 is smaller than the lateral width of the longitudinal lifting bracket 102 , and the storage bracket 130 is rotatably connected to the bottom center of the longitudinal lifting bracket 102 .
[0079] The lifting mechanism 100 adopts the lifting principle of a forklift, and the lifting cylinder 121 and the lifting chain 122 are placed on the left and right sides. One end of the chain is connected to the frame, and the other end is connected to the brick lifting plate 103. The left and right sides of the lifting plate 103 are equipped with bearings, which can roll up and down on the vertical guide channel steel track 105. The storage bracket 130 is provided with a second transmission mechanism 132, which is composed of rollers, sprocket chains, drive motors, etc., to achieve the reception and transmission of bricks. After the operation is completed, the storage bracket 130 can be rotated 90 degrees in the vertical plane, such as Figure 3c as shown to reduce floor space.
[0080] Combination Figure 3a-3d As shown, the design highlights of the lifting mechanism 100 are: 1) The design of the storage and lifting parts can ensure the continuous supply of bricks, meet the front-end brick demand, improve efficiency, and have a compact structure. 2) The lifting part design can accurately lift the corresponding height according to the thickness of the brick. 3) When the forklift places the material in the design, the clamp formed by the two end plates of the forklift corresponds to the storage vertical plate, and the width of the storage vertical plate is much smaller than the width of the clamp, which can be applied to various types of forklifts, convenient for the placement and transportation of large and small bricks, and the operation is very convenient. 4) When the storage material operation is completed, the storage vertical plate can be manually pushed and rotated upward 90° to fold the storage part to a vertical state, reducing the length of the entire vehicle, which is convenient for transfer and transportation. And when the storage mechanism is laid flat, its storage outer frame and the frame can limit themselves to support its flat state. The spring assembly makes it easy to place and fold the storage structure.
[0081] Refer to the following Figures 4a-4fAs shown, the structure of the clamping and pushing mechanism 200 is further described:
[0082] The forward guide rail 210 is provided with two first slide rails 211 with a length in the X direction, an upper rail 212 is provided on the opposite inner side of the first slide rail 211, a lower lifting rail 213 is provided on the first slide rail 211 and is located below the upper rail 212, and two front and rear openings 213-1 with openings facing downward are provided on the lower side of the lower lifting rail 213, a front and rear pair of first rollers 202 are installed in each upper rail 212, and second rollers 221 are respectively fixed at the front and rear ends of both sides of the clamping device 220, and the corresponding first rollers 202 and second rollers 221 are movably connected through a driven rod 230, and the first transverse propulsion cylinder 240 drives the first roller 202 to slide forward in the upper rail 212 to drive the clamping device 220 to move transversely forward, and during the forward sliding process of the first roller 202, the second roller 221 is driven by the driven rod 230 to enter the lower lifting rail 213 from the entry 213-1 to raise the height of the clamping device 220.
[0083] In an optional embodiment, the front and rear pair of first rollers 202 in the upper track 212 are both installed on a side push plate 214, and the side push plate 214 is fixedly connected to the top rod of the first transverse propulsion cylinder 240. The first transverse propulsion cylinder 240 pushes the side push plate 214 to drive the front and rear pair of first rollers 202 to roll back and forth in the upper track 212.
[0084] The upper and lower ends of the driven rod 230 are respectively hinged to the first roller 202 in the upper first slide rail 211 and the second roller 221 of the clamping device, with a total of four hinge points, thereby forming a parallel four-bar linkage (such as Figure 4d The four corners of the clamping device are movably connected to the bottom of the first slide rail 211 through the connecting rod 230; the second roller 221 is rotatably installed on the frame of the clamping device 220. During operation, the first transverse propulsion cylinder 240 drives the side push plate 214 to drive the first roller 202 to roll forward in the upper track 212, and the lower end of the driven rod 230 drives the clamping device 220 to form a parallel four-bar linkage to push the entire clamping mechanism forward. Before the clamping device 220 slides forward, the second roller 221 set on the clamping device 220 first enters the lower lifting track 213 to lift the height of the clamping device 220, so the height of the curbstone clamped by it will also be increased to avoid friction between the clamped brick body and the curbstone below it, which may scratch the surface of the brick body. Figure 4eAs shown. The clamping device 220 is first raised a little and then moves forward. Preferably, when the clamping device 220 is at the rearmost position of the travel, the two second rollers 221 are exactly located at the entrance of the lower lifting track 213, so that the clamping device 220 is first raised and then slides forward.
[0085] like Figure 4c As shown, the clamping device 220 includes a clamping frame 223, which is equipped with a second slide rail 224 in the Y direction and a multi-link linkage mechanism. Two relatively slidable clamping plates 225 are arranged on the second slide rail 224. The multi-link linkage mechanism is composed of a middle swing rod 226 and two clamping links 227 hinged at both ends of the swing rod 226. The center of the swing rod 226 is rotatably connected to the clamping frame 223 through a swing rod center pin, and the other ends of the two clamping links 227 are respectively hingedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two clamping plates 225; one end of the swing rod 226 is hinged to the clamping drive cylinder 228, and the clamping drive cylinder 228 drives the multi-link linkage mechanism to drive the two clamping plates 225 to slide relative to or towards each other on the second slide rail 224 to clamp or release the curb.
[0086] By adopting the above-mentioned multi-link linkage mechanism, only one clamping drive cylinder 228 is required to realize that the two clamping plates 225 can slide relative to or towards each other on the second slide rail 224 to clamp or release the curbstone, which simplifies the drive structure. On the other hand, the movement of the two clamping plates 225 is synchronized, making the clamping and releasing actions more linear. Preferably, the opposite surfaces of the two clamping plates 225 are detachably mounted with rubber plates to protect the floor tiles when clamping the floor tiles.
[0087] In an optional embodiment, the conveying mechanism 300 is a roller or belt based transmission mechanism.
[0088] The structure of the curbstone laying mechanism 400 is further described below:
[0089] Two quick-release bayonet holes 417 (such as Figure 6c As shown), the laying frame 410 can be detachably mounted on the quick-release mounting bracket 531 of the front-end mechanical arm 500 of the brick paving machine. Width adjustment plates 412 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the vehicle width of the laying frame 410 (the opening area between the two width adjustment plates 412 is the curb paving opening 411, and the width adjustment plate 412 passes through the first adjustable guide rail 418 in the Y direction and is fixed to the laying frame 410 through the adjustment plate 414. The adjustment plate 414 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes. The spacing between the two width adjustment plates 412 is adjusted through different fixing holes, so that manual adjustment of curbs of different lengths can be achieved. Preferably, the width adjustment plate 412 is a vertical plate in the X direction and is provided with an outer bent edge 415 at the rear end to play a guiding role.
[0090] A thickness adjustment component is provided on the laying frame 410, which can realize automatic elastic adjustment of swivels of different thicknesses. Its specific structure is as follows: the laying frame 410 is symmetrically equipped with horizontal thickness positioning wheels 430 on both sides of the vehicle width. During the paving process of the curb paving equipment, the thickness positioning wheel 430 at the rear end in the traveling direction abuts against the back side wall of the laid curb 002, and the thickness positioning wheel 430 is fixed on a thickness adjustment plate 431. The thickness adjustment plate 431 is a vertical plate in the Y direction. The thickness adjustment plate 431 is fixed to the laying frame 410 through a second adjustment guide rail 433. A thickness adjustment spring 432 is provided on the second adjustment guide rail 433, wherein the thickness adjustment plate 431 is adjustable in the front and rear position in the X direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the thickness positioning wheel 430 and the vertical guard plate 416.
[0091] The buffer plate 420 is used to buffer the falling bricks. Its rotation axis is a horizontal rotation axis in the Y direction. Both ends of the horizontal rotation axis are connected to the laying frame 410 , and a buffer spring 421 is installed on the horizontal rotation axis between the laying frame 410 and the buffer plate 420 .
[0092] The laying frame 410 is provided with soil cleaning plates 440 on both sides of the vehicle width. The top of the soil cleaning plates 440 is hinged on the laying frame 410 to rotate in the Y direction. A roller 441 is installed on the soil cleaning plates 440. The cross section of the soil cleaning plates 440 in the X direction is a right triangle, and the outer side is an inclined surface. During the laying process of the brick paving machine, the soil cleaning plates 440 at the front end of the traveling direction are in a drooping state to clean the soil in the paving groove of the curbstone, and the soil cleaning plates 440 at the rear side of the traveling direction are flipped upward to a horizontal arrangement and the roller 441 rolls on the upper surface of the laid curbstone.
[0093] A guide ramp plate 413 is fixed between the vertical guard plate 416 and the buffer plate 420. A vertical plate 413-1 is provided at the front end of the guide ramp plate 413, which is perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the vertical guard plate 416. A gap equivalent to the thickness of the curb is left between the vertical plate 413-1 and the vertical guard plate 416. The buffer plate 420 is turned downward to make the curb 001 fall onto the guide ramp plate 413. The curb 001 slides down on the guide ramp plate 413 into the gap and stands on the ground in the Y direction.
[0094] The structure of the mechanical arm 500 is further described below:
[0095] A mechanical arm 500 is symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the front of the frame 11, and the two mechanical arms 500 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 540. A vertical guide rail 501 and a horizontal guide rail 503 are fixed on the left and right sides of the front of the frame 11. A vertical slider support 502 that slides up and down is installed on the vertical guide rail 501, and a horizontal slider 504 that slides horizontally is installed on the horizontal guide rail 503; the vertical slider support 502 is connected to a vertical lifting mechanism 505 fixed to the front of the frame 11, and the horizontal slider 504 is connected to a horizontal pushing mechanism 506 fixed to the front of the frame 11. The vertical lifting mechanism 505 and the horizontal pushing mechanism 506 are any one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, and a screw pair.
[0096] The mechanical arm 500 includes a longitudinal leg 530 and a horizontal upper arm 510 and a lower arm 520. The front ends of the upper arm 510 and the lower arm 520 are both hingedly connected to the leg 530. The rear end of the upper arm 510 is hingedly connected to the vertical slider support 502. The lower arm 520 is fixedly connected to the horizontal slider 504 and the rear end of the lower arm 520 is movably connected to the upper arm 510 through a connecting rod support arm 521. Figure 5b As described above, the upper arm 510, the lower arm 520, the leg 530 and the connecting rod support arm 521 form a parallelogram structure (as shown by the dotted line). The advantage of the parallelogram structure is that the front leg can be better controlled by the rear vertical lifting mechanism 505 and the horizontal pushing mechanism 506. A quick-release mounting bracket 531 is installed at the bottom of the leg 530, and a swing cylinder 532 is connected between the quick-release mounting bracket 531 and the leg 530. A quick-release first supporting universal wheel 533 is installed at the bottom of the quick-release mounting bracket 531.
[0097] like Figure 5c As shown, the quick-release mounting bracket 531 is provided with two rotating shafts, the first rotating shaft is installed on the support leg 530 through the pin shaft 531-2, the second rotating shaft 531-6 is hingedly connected to the swing rod of the swing cylinder 532, and the swing cylinder 532 drives the quick-release mounting bracket 531 to rotate around the pin shaft 531-2 as the axis.
[0098] The quick-release mounting bracket 531 is provided with two parallel triangular plates 531-1, and the three vertices of the two triangular plates 531-1 are fixedly connected by connecting columns, the first connecting column is coaxially arranged with the pin 531-2, and the other two second connecting columns are used to connect with the bayonet reserved for the laying mechanism, and the second rotating shaft 531-6 is arranged between two of the connecting columns; one of the second connecting columns is an optical axis 531-7, and the other second connecting column is a locking shaft 531-3 with a non-circular cross section, and one end of the locking shaft 531-3 is fixedly connected with the handle 531-4. After the bayonet 417 of the laying frame 410 of the curb is respectively clamped on the optical axis 531-7 and the locking shaft 531-3, and the handle 531-4 is turned to rotate the locking shaft 531-3 to clamp the laying mechanism, so that the laying mechanism and the quick-release mounting bracket 531 are locked and fixedly connected. A buckle 531 - 5 for fixing the handle 531 - 4 is provided on the outer side surface of one of the triangular plates, so as to keep the handle 531 - 4 fixed in a locked state.
[0099] The mechanical arm 500 can realize the longitudinal and vertical positioning of the front-mounted curbstone laying mechanism 400 and provide support for it. Through the coordinated operation of the vertical lifting mechanism 505, the horizontal pushing mechanism 506 and the swing cylinder 532 of the mechanical arm 500, it can ensure that the front-end curbstone laying mechanism 400 always maintains a horizontal state, which is convenient for soil cleaning, curbstone placement, curbstone rolling, etc.
[0100] A quick-release mounting bracket 531 is installed at the bottom of the leg 530 to facilitate quick-release connection with the curb paving mechanism 400. The angle of the quick-connect device can be adjusted by extending and retracting the swing cylinder 532, which facilitates quick positioning and combination with the connection structure of the curb paving mechanism 400, thereby achieving quick installation and disassembly.
[0101] In other embodiments, we can also remove the curbstone laying mechanism 400 from the mechanical arm 500 and replace it with other mechanisms. For example, the curbstone laying mechanism 400 for laying curbstones can be replaced with a mechanism for laying flat bricks, thereby meeting different brick laying requirements. At the same time, the lifting mechanism 100, the clamping and pushing mechanism 200, and the conveying mechanism 300 on the frame do not need to be changed, thereby enhancing the scalability of the present invention.
[0102] The working process of the present invention is described in detail below:
[0103] First, we stack the curbstones 001 on the forklift's cargo fork, with the front and back sides of the stacked curbstones 001 touching each other. Then we put down the storage bracket 130 to make it horizontal, and drive the forklift to transfer the curbstones to the storage bracket 130. Since the storage bracket 130 is rotatably connected to the bottom center of the longitudinal lifting bracket 102, a space for the cargo fork to move is formed on both sides of the storage bracket 130. When the forklift drives close to the mobile robot 10, the storage bracket 130 can extend into the opening center of the cargo fork. After the forklift drives into place, it unloads the curbstones and leaves.
[0104] The storage rack 130 is provided with a roller or belt transmission mechanism to transport the stacked curbstones 001 forward to the lifting plate 103 of the lifting mechanism 100, and the first transmission mechanism 104 of the lifting mechanism 100 relays the curbstones 001 to continue to be transported forward, so that the curbstones 001 are completely located on the lifting plate 103. The top rods of the lifting device 120 on both sides of the lifting plate 103 slide upward, and the top rods drive the lifting chains 122 to move upward, thereby driving the lifting webs 106 on both sides to move upward steadily, thereby raising the height of the lifting plate 103.
[0105] The clamping device 220 of the clamping and pushing mechanism 200 slides backward to the rear of the vehicle, and the clamping plate 225 clamps and fixes the left and right ends of the top curbstone 001, and then the clamping device 220 moves toward the front of the vehicle. When the clamping device 220 slides forward, the second roller 221 slides into the lower lifting track 213 to raise its own height, so that the clamping device 220 slightly raises the height of the curbstone 001 while driving the curbstone 001 forward, so as to avoid the curbstone 001 being scratched by the clamped curbstone 001 and the curbstone 001 on the lifting plate 103, thereby affecting the appearance of the curbstone 001.
[0106] When the clamping device 220 slides on the forward guide rail 210 to above the conveying mechanism 300 , the two clamping plates 225 are loosened, and the curbstone 001 falls onto the conveying mechanism 300 , and the conveying mechanism 300 continues to transport the curbstone 001 forward.
[0107] When the conveying mechanism 300 moves to the front end, the curb 001 is first blocked by the buffer plate 420 of the curb laying mechanism 400. The lower side of the curb 001 contacts the buffer plate 420, and then the buffer plate 420 flips downward. The curb 001 loses the obstruction of the buffer plate 420 and slides onto the guide ramp 413. Under the action of gravity, the curb 001 slides forward on the guide ramp 413. When it falls from the guide ramp 413, it is blocked by the vertical guard plate 416 and stands upright in the curb laying groove in the Y direction. At this time, the laying operation of a curb 001 is completed, so that the curb 001 stands upright in the curb laying groove on the ground.
[0108] Then, the walking device 12 drives the mobile robot 10 to move horizontally in the vehicle width direction. The paving frame 410 is provided with two soil cleaning plates 440 on both sides of the vehicle width direction. Among them, the soil cleaning plate 440 located at the front side of the paving direction is in a drooping state. During the movement of the mobile robot, the soil cleaning plate 440 can clean out the soil in the curbstone paving groove, making the curbstone paving groove smoother, so as to ensure that the subsequent curbstones fall into the paving groove more neatly as a whole. The soil crushing and cleaning plate 440 located at the rear side of the paving direction is rotated to a horizontal state, and the roller wheel 441 of the soil crushing and cleaning plate 440 rolls on the upper surface of the curb 001 at the rear side of the paving direction of the paving frame 410, and the curb laid at the rear is rolled downward during the lateral movement of the mobile robot 10; and the thickness positioning wheel 430 located at the rear side of the paving direction abuts against the back of the curb laid at the rear, and the thickness positioning wheel 430 provides forward rolling for the curb during the lateral movement; by rolling the curb laid at the rear downward and forward, the laid curb can be made more neat.
[0109] The mechanical arm 500 is used to provide support for the curbstone laying mechanism 400, and the curbstone laying mechanism 400 is installed between two quick-release mounting brackets 531 through a quick-release structure. When the mobile robot is in a non-laying working state, the mechanical arm 500 slides upward on the vertical guide rail 501 to drive the curbstone laying mechanism 400 off the ground and make it suspended in the air, so as to protect the curbstone laying mechanism 400; when the mobile robot moves to the designated position, the mechanical arm 500 descends, and the horizontal pushing mechanism 506 drives the legs 530 to move horizontally forward and backward to adjust the position of the curbstone laying mechanism 400 at the bottom of the mechanical arm 500.
