Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to a loading system for integrated equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Because of their ISO-standard dimensions, containers offer advantages in multimodal transport, including sea, land, and air transport. They are now widely used in cargo transportation, enabling multimodal transport via ships, ports, shipping routes, highways, transit stations, bridges, and tunnels worldwide, giving them a clear advantage in cargo transportation.
[0003] As container shipping becomes increasingly standardized and widespread, more and more equipment is being placed inside containers to form integrated systems. These systems are then shipped to their destination and connected to on-site equipment for direct use, reducing on-site workload. For example, several battery packs can be loaded into a container to form a mobile power supply system or serve as an energy storage system for a photovoltaic power station. The integration of containers facilitates the operation and movement of equipment, increasing the flexibility of use.
[0004] As usage requirements become increasingly stringent, the number of devices loaded inside containers is also increasing, placing higher demands on the loading system. Existing loading systems cannot achieve continuous loading; the loading equipment needs to move back and forth between the receiving and loading positions, thus affecting loading efficiency.

[0047] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0048] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a loading system for integrated equipment. The integrated equipment generally includes a container body 100 and equipment 200 disposed within the container body 100. The equipment 200 can be communication equipment, power equipment, or network equipment. Integrating the equipment 200 within the container body 100 forms an integrated equipment for convenient operation and use. In this embodiment, the equipment 200 is a battery pack mounted within the container body 100. An internal frame is provided within the container body 100, and several equipment mounting positions are formed on the internal frame for placing the equipment 200.
[0049] The frame includes several horizontally extending crossbeams and several vertically extending longitudinal beams. The longitudinal beams are arranged side-by-side in the transverse direction, and the crossbeams connect adjacent longitudinal beams. The space formed between two adjacent crossbeams and two adjacent longitudinal beams serves as the equipment mounting position. The space within the housing 100 is divided into several equipment mounting positions arranged at intervals in both the vertical and transverse directions by the intersecting arrangement of the crossbeams and longitudinal beams.
[0050] To increase the loading capacity of equipment 200 within container 100, the space formed by the equipment mounting position is slightly larger than that of equipment 200. This structural arrangement results in a smaller gap between equipment 200 and the internal frame after it is loaded into the mounting position, allowing for a more compact arrangement of adjacent equipment 200. This smaller gap between equipment 200 and the internal frame places higher demands on the loading of equipment 200.
[0051] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a loading system for integrated equipment. This loading system is used to transfer equipment 200 from the storage station 300 where the equipment is stored and finally complete the loading within the container body 100. The integrated equipment loading system disclosed in this embodiment can automatically and efficiently realize the continuous loading of equipment 200 at the equipment mounting position within the container body 100.
[0052] In the prior art, the container body 100 is generally cubic in shape and has a length direction and a width direction. The container body 100 has a pair of doors arranged opposite each other in the width direction. In order to facilitate the use of the equipment 200, the equipment 200 inside the container body 100 is generally arranged in two rows. The two rows of equipment 200 are arranged along the width direction, and the loading of the equipment 200 is completed from the two doors on both sides in the width direction.
[0053] To achieve more efficient loading of equipment 200, loading mechanisms 400 are generally set on both sides of the container body 100. The loading mechanisms 400 are used to load equipment 200 into the equipment mounting position.
[0054] The loading system of the integrated equipment includes a loading station for placing the container body 100. After the container body 100 is placed in the loading station, the loading mechanism 400 loads the equipment 200 into the container body 100. The loading system includes a pair of loading mechanisms 400 arranged on opposite sides of the loading station, each loading mechanism 400 independently loading the equipment.
[0055] It is understood that the loading mechanism 400 only loads the equipment 200, which is generally stored in the storage station 300. In order to load the equipment 200, the loading system for integrating the equipment also includes a conveying mechanism 500, which is used to transfer the equipment 200 between the storage station 300 and the loading mechanism 400.
[0056] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the loading mechanism 400 includes a pre-batching device 430, a horizontal conveying device 420, and a vertical conveying device 410. The vertical conveying device 410 includes a lifting frame 411 and a lifting support platform 412 slidably mounted on the lifting frame 411 in the vertical direction. The lifting support platform 412 moves vertically between the conveying mechanism 500 and the pre-batching device 430. When the lifting support platform 412 moves to a position opposite to the conveying mechanism 500, it receives the equipment 200 transmitted from the conveying mechanism 500. The lifting support platform 412 moves to the corresponding position and transmits the equipment 200 to the pre-batching device 430. Under the action of the pre-batching device 430, the equipment 200 is transferred to the horizontal conveying device 420 to complete the final loading.
[0057] like Figure 14-16 As shown, the pre-mixing device 430 includes a pre-mixing rack 431, a plurality of support bases 432, a storage platform 433 disposed on the support bases 432, and a storage platform pushing unit 434 disposed on the storage platform 433; the plurality of support bases 432 are arranged vertically and disposed on the pre-mixing rack 431, and the storage platform 433 moves on the support bases 432 in the front-back direction;
[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 5-10 As shown, the horizontal conveying device 420 includes a horizontal conveying base 421, a horizontal conveying frame 422 that moves along the front-to-back direction on the horizontal conveying base 421, a horizontal support platform 423 that moves along the vertical direction on the horizontal conveying frame 422, and a horizontal material conveying unit disposed on the horizontal support platform.
[0059] The horizontal support platform 423 is configured to receive the transmission from the storage platform 433 when it is moved to a position opposite to the storage platform 433.
[0060] Multiple storage platforms 433 are provided, and each storage platform 433 corresponds to one of the multiple support bases 432. The multiple storage platforms 433 are arranged vertically on the pre-mixing rack 431. In actual use, the number of support bases 432 and the number of storage platforms 433 are set according to actual needs.
[0061] The number of storage platforms 433 arranged vertically is consistent with the number of equipment installation positions set vertically inside the container body 100. That is, if there are multiple equipment installation positions set vertically inside the container body 100, then there are correspondingly multiple storage platforms 433.
[0062] Each storage platform 433 is slidably mounted on the support base 432 in the front-to-back direction. The formation of the storage platform 433 sliding on the support base 432 in the front-to-back direction should at least cover the dimensions of the equipment installation positions arranged in the front-to-back direction within the container body 100, so that all storage platforms 433 on the pre-batching device 430 can cover each equipment installation position.
[0063] The horizontal support platform 423 is configured to receive the equipment transferred from the storage platform 433 when it moves to a position opposite to the storage platform 433. When the horizontal support platform 423 moves to a position opposite to the corresponding storage platform 433, the storage platform pushing unit 434 pushes the equipment out of the storage platform 433, so that the equipment is transported from the storage platform 433 to the horizontal support platform 423, and then loaded through the horizontal support platform 423.
[0064] The material pushing unit 434 of the storage platform can be a push rod, a transmission chain, or a transmission belt. No specific limitation is made here. Transferring the equipment from the storage platform 433 to the horizontal bearing platform 423 is a conventional design in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0065] In the existing technology, since the horizontal conveyor 420 moves in the front-to-back direction and the horizontal support platform 423 can move in the vertical direction, theoretically, the installation of equipment at each equipment mounting position on the container body 100 can be achieved through the horizontal conveyor 420 and the vertical conveyor 410. However, this method requires the horizontal conveyor 420 to return to a specific position each time to receive material from the vertical conveyor 410, and after receiving the material, it is adjusted and moved to the corresponding loading position, and finally, the equipment is assembled into the corresponding equipment mounting position at the corresponding loading position. Because the horizontal conveyor 420 needs to repeatedly return to a specific position to receive material, continuous loading cannot be achieved, resulting in low loading efficiency.
[0066] In this embodiment, the pre-feeding device 430 enables continuous loading of the horizontal conveyor 420, thereby improving loading efficiency. When the horizontal conveyor 420 loads a device at one installation position, the storage platform 433 opposite the next installation position already contains equipment to be loaded. After the equipment at the previous installation position is installed, the horizontal conveyor 420 moves directly to the next installation position and can directly load the equipment already placed on the storage platform 433. The pre-feeding device 430 allows for pre-loading and batching of equipment. Once the horizontal conveyor 420 is in position, it can directly load the equipment without requiring it to move back and forth between the receiving and loading positions, eliminating the need to return to the receiving position and improving loading efficiency.
[0067] Understandably, in order to ensure that the horizontal conveyor 420 is accurately loaded into the corresponding equipment installation position, the loading system also includes an alignment recognition system installed on the horizontal support platform 423. The alignment recognition system includes a visual positioning and correction unit. Before the equipment is loaded to the installation position, two CCDs are used to detect the alignment recognition points near the installation position. The detected deviation value is fed back to the control system, which then controls the horizontal conveyor 420 to achieve precise alignment between the horizontal support platform 423 and the equipment installation position.
[0068] In this embodiment, the alignment recognition system is set in the horizontal conveying device 420. Since the final loading step is completed by the horizontal conveying device 420, only one alignment recognition system needs to be set up, thereby reducing production and manufacturing costs.
[0069] It is understandable that in other embodiments, loading within the container body 100 can also be completed directly using multiple storage platforms 433. In this embodiment, the horizontal conveyor 420 is not required. The number of storage platforms 433 corresponds to the number of vertically arranged equipment mounting positions within the container body 100, with each storage platform 433 responsible for loading all equipment mounting positions on its corresponding plane. However, this method requires each storage platform 433 to be equipped with a positioning recognition system, and the addition of a positioning recognition system inevitably increases costs.
[0070] Furthermore, to better utilize different container bodies 100, the support base 432 is adjustablely mounted on the pre-assembly rack 431, allowing for vertical adjustment of its position on the rack. This vertical adjustability allows for adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower support bases 432, as well as their height from the ground, thus accommodating the loading requirements of different container bodies 100.
[0071] Specifically, the support base 432 includes a support guide rail disposed on the pre-mixing rack 431, the support guide rail extending in the front-to-back direction, and the storage platform 433 sliding on the support guide rail in the front-to-back direction. It is understood that the pre-mixing device 430 also includes a drive mechanism for controlling the sliding of the storage platform 433 along the support guide rail; how the specific drive structure controls the movement of the storage platform 433 is a conventional method and is not specifically limited here.
[0072] In the above embodiments, different support bases 432 are individually adjusted to match different container bodies 100. In another embodiment, the height of the pre-batching rack 431 can also be adjusted as a whole to accommodate more container bodies 100. To facilitate the adjustment of the height of the pre-batching rack 431, a height adjustment device 435 is provided at the bottom of the pre-batching rack 431. The height adjustment device 435 includes an adjusting bolt threaded to the bottom of the pre-batching rack 431, and the height of the pre-batching rack 431 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting bolt.
[0073] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the vertical conveying device 410 includes a lifting frame 411 and a lifting support platform 412 that moves vertically on the lifting frame 411. It can be understood that the vertical conveying device 410 also includes a vertical lifting drive member 413 that controls the lifting support platform 412 to move vertically along the lifting frame 411.
[0074] Specifically, the vertical lifting drive 413 can control the movement of the lifting platform 412 through the cooperation of a motor and a lead screw. In this case, a lead screw nut that cooperates with the lead screw needs to be provided on the lifting platform 412. Simultaneously, to ensure smoother sliding along the lifting frame 411, the lifting platform 412 and the lifting frame 411 also slide together via a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail can extend along the lifting frame 411, and the slider is fixed to the lifting platform 412. Of course, in other embodiments, the vertical movement of the lifting platform 412 can also be achieved using a sprocket and chain. There are many ways to control the lifting platform 412, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0075] In this embodiment, when the lifting platform 412 slides vertically, it moves between a receiving position and a discharging position. In the receiving position, the lifting platform 412 receives materials from the conveying mechanism 500. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 500 includes a conveying platform 510, which includes a conveying frame and a platform conveyor movably mounted on the conveying frame. The platform conveyor includes a conveyor belt mounted on the conveying frame, extending horizontally. The conveyor belt transports the equipment stored in the storage station 300 to the vertical conveying device 410.
[0076] The plane where the lifting platform 412 is located is opposite to and coincides with the plane where the platform conveyor is located. When the lifting platform 412 moves to be parallel to the plane where the platform conveyor is located, the equipment 200 from the platform conveyor is loaded onto the lifting platform 412, thereby realizing the material receiving action.
[0077] After receiving the material, the lifting platform 412 moves to the corresponding position to unload the material, such as... Figure 1 As shown, at the unloading position, the lifting platform 412 and the storage platform 433 are positioned opposite each other, which facilitates the equipment to move from the lifting platform 412 to the storage platform of the pre-mixing device 430, and finally to the horizontal conveyor 420 through the storage platform, where the final loading on the container 100 is completed.
[0078] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the unloading of the equipment 200 from the lifting platform 412, the vertical conveying device 410 also includes an unloading unit 414. In the unloading position, the unloading unit 414 is used to transport the equipment 200 on the lifting platform 412 toward the horizontal conveying device 420.
[0079] The unloading unit 414 may include a push rod mounted on the lifting platform 412 and a pushing component for moving the push rod. The specific structure of the unloading unit 414 is a relatively conventional design and is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, the unloading unit 414 may include a drive wheel, a driven wheel, a chain connecting the drive wheel and the driven wheel, and a motor driving the drive wheel. The motor drives the chain to rotate during the process of driving the drive wheel, and the chain moves the equipment placed on the chain during the rotation.
[0080] The vertical conveying device 410 is located on the side of the pre-batching device opposite to the horizontal conveying device. After receiving the equipment from the conveying mechanism 500, the lifting platform 412 of the vertical conveying device 410 moves to the plane of the corresponding storage platform 433. At this time, the storage platform 433 is moved to a position opposite to the lifting platform 412, and the equipment on the lifting platform 412 is transported onto the storage platform 433. The storage platform 433 is then moved to the position where loading is required.
[0081] To save costs, one vertical conveyor 410 can simultaneously cooperate with multiple storage platforms 433. The lifting platform 412, capable of moving up and down along the elevator 411, can supply materials to storage platforms 433 at different heights. Since the storage platforms 433 can move forward and backward, theoretically, one vertical conveyor 410 can simultaneously supply materials to multiple storage platforms 433. This only requires the storage platforms 433 to reciprocate to the position corresponding to the vertical conveyor 410 to receive materials.
[0082] Of course, in other embodiments, multiple vertical conveying devices 410 can be provided, each corresponding to a specific storage platform. In the above embodiments, vertical conveying devices 410 are used to feed materials onto the storage platform 433. In other embodiments, conveyor belts or other equipment can also be used to feed materials onto the storage platform, with the equipment 200 directly transmitting the materials to the corresponding storage platform 433 via the conveyor belt. Since there are multiple layers of storage platforms 433, multiple corresponding conveyor belts are also provided.
[0083] It should be noted that whether the equipment is being transported on the lifting platform 412, the storage platform 433, or the horizontal platform 423, there are guide structures on the corresponding platforms. The guide structures play a guiding role during the equipment transport process and can prevent the equipment from deviating from its intended path.
[0084] In this embodiment, as Figure 5-10 As shown, the horizontal conveying device 420 includes a horizontal conveying base 421, a horizontal conveying frame 422 that moves along the front-to-back direction on the horizontal conveying base 421, and a horizontal support platform 423 that moves along the vertical direction on the horizontal conveying frame 422.
[0085] It should be noted that the front-to-back direction here refers to the length direction parallel to the container body 100 when it is placed at the loading station. Correspondingly, the width direction parallel to the container body 100 is the left-to-right direction. It should also be noted that since the equipment is loaded from the left-to-right direction, that is, from the width direction parallel to the container body 100, for the loading mechanism 400 located on the left side of the container body 100, the movement of the equipment 200 from left to right is the transmission direction of the loading mechanism 400; for the loading mechanism 400 located on the right side of the container body 100, the movement of the equipment 200 from right to left is the corresponding transmission direction of the loading mechanism. The specific transmission direction is determined based on actual use, and is the direction that facilitates the movement and loading of the equipment. However, in this embodiment, the transmission direction is generally set along the left-to-right direction.
[0086] In this embodiment, the horizontal support platform 423 is configured to move up and down in the vertical direction, which can better match the equipment installation positions of different heights. Several equipment installation positions are arranged in the vertical direction to form an equipment installation group, and several equipment installation groups are arranged in the front and back direction, so that a grid-shaped equipment installation position is formed in the entire container body 100.
[0087] To load equipment 200 at different installation positions, the horizontal conveyor frame 422 needs to be slidably mounted on the horizontal conveyor base 421 in the front-to-back direction. The horizontal conveyor base 421 is equipped with support rails extending in the front-to-back direction, and the horizontal conveyor frame 422 is slidably mounted on these support rails. The horizontal conveyor frame 422 is welded from shaped steel or rectangular steel pipes, and its specific frame structure and height meet the installation requirements of the equipment within the container 100.
[0088] The horizontal conveying device 420 also has a horizontal conveying unit disposed on the horizontal support platform 423, which is used to move the equipment on the horizontal support platform 423 to the corresponding equipment installation position.
[0089] like Figure 7-10 As shown, in this embodiment, the horizontal conveying unit includes a horizontal conveying mechanism 424 and a pushing mechanism 425 for the conveying equipment.
[0090] During the process of being transported by the horizontal conveying unit, the equipment 200 is first transported for a certain distance under the action of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424, and then the pushing mechanism 425 continues the action of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 to further transport the equipment. Through two-stage transmission, the transportation of the equipment can be better realized.
[0091] In the final loading stage, existing technologies generally employ a single transmission method, such as using a separate push rod for pushing or a single conveyor belt for conveying. If a single push rod is used, it requires a large stroke and a relatively long extension length, which is not conducive to space utilization. On the other hand, using a single conveyor belt can easily result in limited transmission force in the later stages of the process, leading to incomplete loading.
[0092] This embodiment uses a conveyor belt to transport materials horizontally first, followed by a pushing mechanism to push the materials. This combines horizontal conveying with pushing loading, which can better realize the loading of the equipment on the container body 100. While ensuring efficient and stable loading, it can reduce the size of the pushing mechanism, thereby avoiding occupying too much space.
[0093] like Figure 8-12 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the pushing mechanism 425 and the horizontal conveying mechanism 424, the pushing mechanism 425 includes a pushing arm 4251, and part of the pushing arm 4251 is arranged on the transmission path of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424.
[0094] The transmission path of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 refers to the space that the equipment passes through when the horizontal conveying mechanism is conveying the equipment. In this embodiment, part of the push arm in the pusher mechanism 425 is set on the transmission path of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424. The purpose is to achieve the effect on the equipment, thereby realizing the pushing of the equipment.
[0095] The horizontal conveying mechanism 424 includes a drive wheel set, a driven wheel set, a wheel set drive member 4241 for driving the drive wheel set to rotate, and a material conveying member 4242 disposed between the drive wheel set and the driven wheel set; the drive wheel set and the driven wheel set are arranged along the conveying direction, and the material conveying member 4242 extends along the conveying direction;
[0096] The push arm 4251 is movably disposed along the transmission direction, and the push arm 4251 is movably disposed between the drive wheel set and the driven wheel set.
[0097] The wheel drive unit 4241 can be a motor, which drives the drive wheel set to rotate. The drive wheel set drives the material conveying component 4244, and the equipment is mounted on the material conveying component 4244 and is conveyed. After the equipment is conveyed by the material conveying component 4244 to the working position of the pushing mechanism 425, it is further pushed by the push arm 4251 to complete the conveying, thereby realizing the loading inside the container.
[0098] like Figure 7-13As shown, in this embodiment, the drive wheel assembly includes a drive gear disk 4243, the driven wheel assembly includes a driven gear disk 4244, the material conveying component 4242 includes a transmission chain meshing with the drive gear disk 4243 and the driven gear disk 4244, and the material conveying component also includes a friction element disposed on the transmission chain; the wheel assembly drive component drives the drive gear disk 4243 to rotate.
[0099] The transmission chain is driven by the drive gear 4243. Friction components are provided on the transmission chain for frictional contact with the equipment, thereby driving the equipment to move.
[0100] To achieve smoother movement of the equipment, the drive wheel assembly includes a drive shaft 4245 rotatably mounted on the horizontal support platform 423, and drive gears 4243 are provided on both sides of the drive shaft 4245.
[0101] Accordingly, the driven wheel assembly includes a driven shaft 4246 rotatably mounted on the horizontal support platform, and driven gear discs 4244 are provided on both opposite sides of the driven shaft 4246;
[0102] Since there are two drive gear disks 4243, there are also two driven gear disks 4244. The positions of the two drive gear disks 4243 and the two driven gear disks 4244 are one-to-one, and the drive gear disks 4243 and driven gear disks 4244 that are opposite each other are located on the same side of the horizontal support platform 423. The driven gear disks 4244 and drive gear disks 4243 that are opposite each other on the same side of the horizontal support platform 423 are connected to each other by the transmission chain. That is, in this embodiment, the device is transported by two transmission chains. The two sides of the bottom of the device are respectively attached to the transmission chains. When the transmission chains rotate with the drive gear disks 4243, they drive the device to move through friction.
[0103] It is understood that in other embodiments, the material conveying component 4242 may also be a conveyor belt, and the drive wheel assembly includes rollers that drive the conveyor belt to move. Correspondingly, the driven wheel assembly also includes rollers that cooperate with the conveyor belt.
[0104] In this embodiment, as Figure 11-12 As shown, the pushing mechanism 425 includes a pushing arm drive member 4252 that drives the pushing arm 4251 to slide. The pushing arm 4251 has a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the pushing arm 4251 is away from the transmission path of the horizontal conveying mechanism. In the extended state, the pushing arm 4251 extends onto the transmission path of the horizontal conveying mechanism.
[0105] In this embodiment, the push arm drive 4252 drives the push arm 4251 to slide along the transmission direction on the horizontal support platform 423. Since the push arm 4251 only takes effect after the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 has completed its transmission, to avoid interference with the operation of the equipment during the transmission process, the push arm 4251 is designed to be retractable. When in its retracted state, the push arm 4251 can avoid the transmission path of the horizontal conveying mechanism, thus not affecting the transmission of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424. After the transmission is completed by the horizontal conveying mechanism 424, the push arm 4251 is in an extended state. In the extended state, the push arm 4251 is located on the transmission path of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424, thus facilitating the pushing of the equipment.
[0106] The horizontal support platform 423 has an upper surface 4230 for supporting the equipment; the pushing mechanism 425 includes a push arm support 4253 slidably disposed on the horizontal support platform 423 along the conveying direction; the push arm drive member 4252 drives the push arm support 4253 to move along the conveying direction.
[0107] like Figure 9 As shown, the push arm 4251 is movable on the push arm support 4253, and in the extended state, the push arm 4251 protrudes from the upper surface 4230 of the horizontal support platform 423; in the retracted state, the push arm 4251 is retracted below the upper surface 4230 of the horizontal support platform 423. In this embodiment, the push arm 4251 rotates on the push arm support 4253, and in the extended state, the end of the push arm 4251 away from the push arm support 4253 protrudes outward from the upper surface 4230 of the horizontal support platform 423.
[0108] During transport, the equipment is placed on a horizontal support platform 423. The horizontal support platform 423 necessarily has an upper surface 4230 for supporting the equipment. During transport by the horizontal conveying mechanism 424, the push arm 4251 is in a retracted state, positioned below the upper surface 4230, thus allowing the push arm 4251 to avoid obstructing the equipment. When the push arm 4251 needs to operate, it protrudes beyond the upper surface 4230 of the horizontal support platform 423 to push the equipment during its sliding motion.
[0109] It is understood that the push arm support 4253 is disposed below the upper surface 4230, and the push arm drive 4252 is also disposed below the upper surface 4230.
[0110] In this embodiment, the push arm drive unit 4252 drives the push arm support base 4253 using a motor-screw mechanism. Specifically, the push arm drive unit 4252 includes a motor and a screw that cooperates with the motor's output shaft. The push arm support base 4253 is provided with a screw nut that cooperates with the screw. The push arm support base 4253 is also slidably mounted on the horizontal support platform 423. Specifically, the push arm support base 4253 is provided with a slider, and the horizontal support platform 423 is provided with a slide rail adapted to the slider of the push arm support base 4253. The motor rotation drives the push arm support base 4253 to slide in the transmission direction. It is understood that the push arm drive unit 4252 can also be driven by other methods, which are not specifically limited here.
[0111] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, to better achieve the pushing of the device, two push arm support seats 4253 are provided, and each push arm support seat is provided with the push arm 4251. The two push arms 4251 simultaneously push the device 200, which can prevent the device 200 from deviating during movement. Figure 11 As shown, in order to facilitate the simultaneous control of the two push arm support seats 4253, the pushing mechanism also has a push arm connecting rod 4254 that connects and fixes the two push arm support seats 4253. The push arm driving component 4252 drives the push arm connecting rod 4254 to move, and the lead screw nut on the push arm driving component 4252 is set on the push arm connecting rod 4254.
[0112] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the switching between the extended and retracted states of the push arm 4251, the push mechanism 425 includes a push arm reset member that cooperates with the push arm 4251. The push arm reset member is used to drive the push arm 4251 to move toward the extended state.
[0113] The push arm reset component can be a compression spring. Under the action of external force, the push arm 4251 moves toward the receiving state. At this time, the push arm reset component is compressed to produce elastic deformation. The push arm reset component accumulates reset rebound force. After the external force is removed, the reset rebound force drives the push arm 4251 to move toward the extended state.
[0114] In this embodiment, the external force is the weight of the device. When the device is pressed down during the process of being transported by the horizontal conveying mechanism 424, the device moves above the push arm 4251. The weight of the device itself will drive the push arm 4251 to move towards the receiving state and compress the push arm reset member. The push arm reset member deforms and accumulates the rebound force.
[0115] When the equipment is transported outside the range of the push arm 4251, the force acting on the push arm 4251 is removed, and the rebound force accumulated on the push arm reset component drives the push arm 4251 to reset and move to the extended state. Part of the push arm 4251 protrudes onto the upper surface 4230 of the horizontal support platform 423 to facilitate the continued transmission of the equipment.
[0116] In the above embodiments, the push arm 4251 passively switches between the extended and retracted states. In another embodiment, the movement of the push arm 4251 can be controlled by a telescopic control component, thereby achieving active control of the push arm 4251. In a specific embodiment, the pushing mechanism 425 includes a telescopic control component that drives the push arm 4251 to switch between the retracted and extended states. The telescopic control component can be fixed on the horizontal support platform 423 and has a telescopic rod that cooperates with the push arm 4251. The telescopic rod controls the push arm 4251 during the extension and retraction process.
[0117] In a specific embodiment, the telescopic control component includes a cylinder mounted on the horizontal support platform. Of course, in other embodiments, the telescopic control component can also be a hydraulic cylinder, a lead screw, or other control mechanism, capable of timely control of the push arm 4251.
[0118] It should be noted that the telescopic control component requires a corresponding sensing mechanism for joint control. The sensing mechanism is used to detect whether equipment has arrived. When equipment arrives, it controls the telescopic control component to retract and retract the push arm 4251 in a timely manner to avoid interference with the transmission of the equipment. At the same time, after the sensing mechanism detects that the equipment has moved to the target position, it controls the push arm 4251 to extend into place so that the push arm 4251 can push the equipment.
[0119] The wheel set drive component 4241 includes an output shaft and a motor that drives the output shaft to rotate. The drive wheel set also includes a transmission gear 4247 and a clutch mechanism disposed on the output shaft. The clutch mechanism is used to control whether the force of the wheel set drive component 4241 is transmitted to the drive wheel set.
[0120] The clutch mechanism has a working state and a non-working state. In the working state, the transmission gear 4247 achieves synchronous rotation with the drive gear disk 4243 through the clutch mechanism; in the non-working state, the clutch mechanism releases the synchronous rotation of the transmission gear 4247 and the drive gear disk 4243.
[0121] In this embodiment, since the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 uses a conveying chain during the transmission process, when the pushing mechanism 425 pushes the equipment to move, the equipment is still placed on the conveying chain. Therefore, the conveying chain will rotate synchronously with the equipment, and the conveying chain will drive the drive gear 4243 to rotate. The drive gear 4243 will then drive the transmission gear 4247 to rotate. Since the transmission gear 4247 cooperates with the motor of the wheel set drive component 4241, the rotation of the transmission gear 4247 will drive the rotation of the motor. The motor is easily damaged when it is passively rotated.
[0122] To avoid the above problems, a clutch mechanism is provided between the transmission gear 4247 and the drive gear 4243 to control whether the transmission gear 4247 and the drive gear 4243 rotate synchronously.
[0123] In this embodiment, as Figure 13 As shown, the clutch mechanism is configured such that when the drive transmission gear 4247 rotates in the transmission direction, it drives the drive gear 4243 to rotate synchronously in the transmission direction. When the drive gear 4243 rotates in the transmission direction, relative rotation occurs between the drive gear 4243 and the transmission gear 4247. It should be noted that when the transmission gear 4247 rotates in the transmission direction, it means that the rotation of the transmission gear 4247 can drive the material conveying component 4242, which cooperates with the transmission gear 4247, to move along the transmission direction. At this time, the equipment placed on the material conveying component 4242 moves and transmits in the direction exceeding the carrying capacity of the container body 100.
[0124] In this embodiment, the clutch mechanism can only make the transmission gear 4247 drive the drive gear 4243 to rotate. However, conversely, the drive gear 4243 cannot drive the transmission gear 4247 to rotate during the rotation of the drive gear 4243. This structure ensures that the pushing mechanism 425 will not affect the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 during the pushing process.
[0125] To achieve the above solution, the transmission gear 4247 in this embodiment is a ratchet mounted on the transmission shaft. The clutch mechanism includes a pawl 4248 movable on the drive gear plate 4243 and a pawl reset member 4249 that cooperates with the pawl 4248. The pawl reset member 4249 drives the pawl 4248 to position and cooperate with the ratchet.
[0126] When the transmission gear 4247 rotates in the transmission direction, the pawl 4248 is positioned on the ratchet, and the transmission gear 4247 rotates synchronously with the drive gear 4243;
[0127] When the transmission gear rotates away from the transmission direction, the ratchet and the pawl can slide relative to each other.
[0128] In this embodiment, the transmission gear 4247 is coaxially arranged with the drive gear disk 4243, and the pawl 4248 is rotatably mounted on the drive gear disk 4243. The end of the pawl 4248 away from the drive gear disk 4243 extends toward the transmission gear 4247. When the transmission gear 4247 rotates in the transmission direction, that is, when the transmission gear rotates clockwise in this embodiment, the pawl 4248 abuts against the transmission gear 4247, and the transmission gear 4247 can drive the drive gear disk 4243 to move synchronously.
[0129] When the transmission gear 4247 rotates away from the transmission direction, the free end of the pawl 4248 can rotate around the drive gear 4243 and disengage from the positioning engagement with the transmission gear 4247 during rotation, thereby causing the transmission gear 4247 and the drive gear 4243 to rotate relative to each other. At this time, when the drive gear 4243 rotates in the transmission direction, it will not drive the transmission gear 4247 to rotate.
[0130] In the above embodiments, the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 and the pushing mechanism 425 operate independently. That is, when the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 is working, the pushing mechanism 425 is not working, and when the pushing mechanism 425 is working, the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 is not working. It should be noted that "working" here refers to whether or not it has a transmission effect on the equipment.
[0131] In other embodiments, the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 and the pushing mechanism 425 can be linked, that is, the two move synchronously to realize the movement control of the equipment. The force of the equipment movement comes from the combined force of the horizontal conveying mechanism 424 and the pushing mechanism 425.
[0132] To facilitate feeding the vertical conveying device 410, the conveying mechanism 500 includes a conveying platform 510, the height of which is higher than that of the horizontal support platform 423, and the lifting support platform 412 is used to convey the equipment conveyed by the conveying platform 510 toward the height of the horizontal support platform 423.
[0133] In this embodiment, the material conveying platform 510 is set at a high position, which can conveniently realize the occupation of three-dimensional space and avoid the occupation of factory floor space by the material conveying platform 510, thereby better realizing the utilization of space.
[0134] In this embodiment, the horizontal conveying device 420 completes the final installation of the equipment on the container body 100. Therefore, the horizontal conveying device 420 is set next to the loading station. The vertical conveying device 410 is used to receive the equipment transferred from the high material conveying platform 510 to the lifting platform 412, and as the lifting platform 412 moves to the position of the storage platform 433, the equipment is transferred and finally loaded onto the container body 100 under the action of the horizontal conveying device 420.
[0135] In this embodiment, the material conveying platform 510 includes a material conveying frame and a platform conveyor movably mounted on the material conveying frame; the platform conveyor may be a conveyor belt or a sprocket.
[0136] The lifting platform 412 moves along the lifting frame 411 between the receiving position and the unloading position. In the receiving position, the lifting platform 412 is opposite to the platform conveyor; in the unloading position, the lifting platform 412 is opposite to the storage platform 433. In this embodiment, since two loading mechanisms 400 are provided, the conveying mechanism 500 includes two conveying platforms 510 to simultaneously supply material to both loading mechanisms 400. Each of the two conveying platforms 510 cooperates with a pair of loading mechanisms 400.
[0137] In this embodiment, two material conveying platforms 510 extend on different horizontal planes, and one of the material conveying platforms 510 is located above the loading mechanism 400 and the loading station. It should be noted that in this embodiment, both material conveying platforms 510 extend to the same storage station 300. Of course, in other embodiments, two storage stations 300 can be provided, with the two material conveying platforms 510 extending at the positions of the two storage stations 300 respectively. However, this method occupies less ground space compared to providing a single storage station 300.
[0138] In this embodiment, by setting the two material conveying platforms 510 to extend on different horizontal planes, the three-dimensional space can be better utilized. Without affecting the material supply to the two loading mechanisms 400, the material conveying platforms 510 are avoided from occupying a lot of ground space, thus saving the use of bottom space.
[0139] Since the two conveying platforms 510 supply materials to the loading mechanisms 400 on opposite sides of the container body 100, and in order for all the conveying platforms 510 to discharge materials from the same storage station 300, one of the conveying platforms 510 needs to cross the container body 100 to supply materials to the loading mechanism 400 on the other side of the container body 100.
[0140] This embodiment is provided with two vertical conveying devices 410. One vertical conveying device 410 is used to transfer the equipment 200 carried on the conveying platform 510 which is set at a higher position from top to bottom, and the other vertical conveying device 410 is used to transfer the equipment 200 carried on the conveying platform 510 which is set at a lower position from bottom to top. The setting of the vertical conveying devices 410 realizes the support of equipment on the conveying platforms 510 of different planes.
[0141] Of course, in other embodiments, both conveying platforms 510 can also be set at a high position, and both vertical conveying devices 410 are used to transport the equipment of the conveying platform 510 located at a high position to a low position.
[0142] In this embodiment, the two conveying platforms 510 of the conveying mechanism 500 extend in a parallel direction, and their positions are staggered in the vertical direction. Although the two conveying platforms 510 are arranged in parallel, their positions in the vertical direction do not correspond, thus forming a mutual stagger.
[0143] Setting the two material conveying platforms 510 to be staggered can prevent interference between them during the feeding process, thus avoiding impact on feeding efficiency. For example... Figure 1 As shown, since the two conveying platforms 510 are staggered in the vertical direction, the vertical conveying devices 410 that are opposite to the two conveying platforms 510 are also staggered, and the two vertical conveying devices 410 are parallel to each other but not in the same position.
[0144] In other embodiments, the two conveying platforms 510 may be arranged in parallel on opposite sides of the loading station. The conveying direction of the conveying platforms 510 is parallel to the length direction of the container body 100, and the two conveying platforms 510 are located on opposite sides of the container body 100 in the width direction of the container body 100. There is no conveying platform 510 that spans the container body 100 or the loading station.
[0145] The material conveying mechanism 500 further includes a loading device 520 disposed at the storage station 300; the material conveying platform 510 is disposed between the loading device 520 and the vertical conveying device 410. The loading device 520 includes a gantry frame 521 and a lifting device 522 disposed on the gantry frame 521. The loading device 520 is used to place the equipment 200 onto the material conveying platform 510 for transportation by the material conveying platform 510, and the material conveying platform 510 moves the equipment loaded by the loading device 520 to the vertical conveying device 410.
[0146] It should be noted that the feeding device 520 can be configured as two, with the two feeding devices 520 respectively positioned opposite the two conveying platforms 510. Of course, in other embodiments, one feeding device 520 can be used to feed materials to both conveying platforms 510 simultaneously. It is understood that the feeding device 520 can be designed as other existing structures as needed.
[0147] The above description, based on the embodiments shown in the figures, details the structure, features, and effects of the present invention. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the figures. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of the present invention, or equivalent embodiments modified to have equivalent changes, that do not exceed the spirit covered by the specification and figures, should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
