Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of containers, and more specifically, to a container stacker. Background Technology
[0002] Existing containers include fixed containers, collapsible containers, and thin-shell containers. Among them, collapsible containers are containers whose main components (side walls, end walls, top, etc.) can be easily folded or disassembled and can be easily reassembled for reuse.
[0003] When stacking collapsible containers, the containers are in the unfolded state. In order to reduce the space occupied by the stacked containers, it is generally necessary to stack them after they are folded. However, most of the existing folding methods are done manually, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to fold the containers completely together, thus affecting the stacking height and stacking process.

[0028] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a container stacker includes a vehicle body 2 and a clamping plate 22. A lifting mechanism 21 is installed on the vehicle body 2 and is connected to the clamping plate 22. The clamping plate 22 is used to clamp the container 1, and the lifting mechanism 21 is used to drive the clamping plate 22 to move up and down. The container 1 is composed of a top plate 11, two side plates 12, a bottom plate 13, and two end plates 14. The side plates 12 are hinged to the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13, and the end plates 14 are hinged to the bottom plate 13. The clamping plate 22 includes a clamp 221 and a cooperating mechanism 222. The clamp 221 cooperates with the top plate 11 and is used to clamp the two ends of the top plate 11. An adjustment mechanism 15 is installed inside the top plate 11 and between it and the side plates 12. The adjustment mechanism 15 cooperates with the cooperating mechanism 222. The cooperating mechanism 222 is used to drive the side plates 12 to fold between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13 after the clamp 221 clamps the top plate 11.
[0029] The clamp 221 includes a clamping plate 2211 and a linear drive assembly 2212. The linear drive assembly 2212 is connected to the clamping plate 2211 and is used to drive the clamping plate 2211 to move horizontally along the length of the container 1.
[0030] The mating mechanism 222 includes a docking shaft 2222 and a first motor 2221. The first motor 2221 is fixedly mounted on the clamping plate 22, and the output shaft of the first motor 2221 passes through the clamping plate 22 and is connected to the docking shaft 2222.
[0031] The adjustment mechanism 15 includes a docking plate 151, which is mounted on the upper surface of the top plate 11 and connected to the top plate 11. The docking plate 151 has a docking hole 1511, and a shaft is installed inside the docking hole 1511. The shaft cooperates with the docking shaft 2222. A first transmission assembly 153 and a second transmission assembly 154 are installed inside the top plate 11. The first transmission assembly 153 is connected to the shaft and is used to fold or unfold the side plate 12. The second transmission assembly 154 is used to fold or unfold the plate body 14.
[0032] The side plate 12 includes a first plate portion 121 and a second plate portion 122. A hinge shaft 123 is installed between the first plate portion 121 and the top plate 11, and the first plate portion 121 is hinged to the top plate 11 through the hinge shaft 123. The bottom of the first plate portion 121 is hinged to the second plate portion 122.
[0033] The transmission assembly includes a first bevel gear set 1531 and a transmission shaft 1532. Both the first bevel gear set 1531 and the transmission shaft 1532 are arranged inside the top plate 11. The first bevel gear is mounted on the transmission shaft 1532 and the shaft. The shaft is connected to the transmission shaft 1532 through the first bevel gear set 1531. A second bevel gear set 1533 is mounted on the end of the transmission shaft 1532 away from the first bevel gear and on the hinge shaft 123. The transmission shaft 1532 is connected to the hinge shaft 123 through the second bevel gear set 1533.
[0034] The shaft is a telescopic shaft 152, which is installed inside the docking hole 1511. The bottom of the telescopic shaft 152 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the docking plate 151. A spring 1522 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic shaft 152, and a rectangular part 1521 is provided at the top. A groove 1523 is opened inside the rectangular part 1521. The top of the docking hole 1511 is a rectangular opening 1512. The rectangular part 1521 is arranged in the rectangular opening 1512 and forms a limiting abutment fit with the rectangular opening 1512. The cross-section of the rectangular opening 1512 and the cross-section of the rectangular part 1521 are both rectangular.
[0035] The second transmission assembly 154 includes a transmission component, a first take-up roller 1543, a second take-up roller 1544, and a third take-up roller 1545. The first take-up roller 1543 and the third take-up roller 1545 are both installed inside the top plate 11 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top plate 11. The second take-up roller 1544 is installed inside the bottom plate 13 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom plate 13. A first rope 1546 is installed between the first take-up roller 1543 and the second take-up roller 1544. One end of the first rope 1546 extends into the top plate 11 and is connected to the first take-up roller 1543. The other end of the first rope 1546 passes through and extends into the bottom plate 13 and is connected to the second take-up roller 1544. Both ends of the first rope 1546 are respectively wound around the first take-up roller 1543 and the second take-up roller 1544. A second rope 1547 is installed between the second take-up roller 1544 and the plate 14. One end of the second rope 1547 is connected to and wound around the second take-up roller 1544, and the other end extends... A third rope 1548 is arranged on the first take-up roller 1543 and the third take-up roller 1545, extending from the bottom plate 13 and connecting to the top two sides of the plate body 14. One end of the third rope 1548 is connected to and wound around the first take-up roller 1543. The winding direction of the third rope 1548 on the first take-up roller 1543 is opposite to the winding direction of the first rope 1546 on the first take-up roller 1543. The middle part of the third rope 1548 is wound around the third take-up roller. The other end extends into the top plate 11 and connects to the top middle position of the plate 14. The cooperating mechanism 222 also includes a second motor 2223 and a connecting shaft 2224. The second motor 2223 is mounted on the clamp 22, and the connecting shaft 2224 is mounted on the bottom of the clamp 22. The transmission shaft 1532 of the output end of the second motor 2223 passes through the clamp 22 and is connected to the connecting shaft 2224. The connecting shaft 2224 cooperates with the transmission component, and the connecting shaft 2224 drives the first take-up roller 1543 to rotate through the transmission component.
[0036] The transmission components include a worm gear 1542 and a worm 1541. The worm gear 1542 is mounted on one end of the first take-up roller 1543, and the worm 1541 is vertically mounted inside the docking plate 151 and the top plate 11, and is rotatably connected to the top plate 11. The worm gear 1542 and the worm 1541 mesh with each other.
[0037] The mating shaft 2222, mating hole 1511, connecting shaft 2224, and slot 15411 are all in the shape of a polygonal prism.
[0038] In the use of the stacking device of the present invention, firstly, the vehicle body 2 moves to one side of the container 1, and then the lifting mechanism 21 drives the clamping plate 22 to descend, so that the docking plate 151 on the top plate 11 extends into the slot at the bottom of the clamping plate 22. The docking shaft 2222 and the connecting shaft 2224 at the bottom of the clamping plate 22 are inserted into the docking plate 151 on the top plate 11 of the container 1. At this time, the docking shaft 2222 extends into the groove 1523 at the top of the telescopic shaft 152, and the connecting shaft 2224 extends into the slot 15411 at the top of the worm gear 1541. The cross sections of the docking shaft 2222, the groove 1523, the connecting shaft 2224 and the slot 15411 are all prismatic. Therefore, after the docking shaft 2222 is inserted into the groove 1523 and the connecting shaft 2224 is inserted into the slot 15411, the docking shaft 2222 is stuck in the groove 1523 and the connecting shaft 2224 is stuck in the slot 15411.
[0039] Subsequently, the lifting mechanism 21 continues to drive the clamp 22 to descend, so that the connecting shaft 2224 is fully inserted into the slot 15411. During the descent of the docking shaft 2222, the docking shaft 2222 descends and presses the telescopic shaft 152 to begin retraction. The spring 1522 on the telescopic shaft 152 begins to retract, and the rectangular portion 1521 at the top of the telescopic shaft 152 extends into the interior from the docking hole 1511 through the rectangular opening 1512 at its top. At this time, the rectangular portion 1521 is released from the restriction of the rectangular opening 1512, and the telescopic shaft 152 is released from the rotation restriction of the rectangular opening 1512. When the telescopic shaft 152 retracts to... After reaching the limit, the clamping plate 2211 moves to both ends of the top plate 11. The linear drive assembly 2212 drives the clamping plate 2211 to move to one side of the top plate 11 and clamps the top plate 11 from both ends after contacting it. It should be noted that the linear drive assembly 2212 can be a linear drive device such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or screw drive mechanism. These are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Similarly, the lifting mechanism 21 also includes a bracket and the linear drive assembly 2212. The bracket is connected to the vehicle body 2, the linear drive assembly 2212 is mounted on the bracket, and the clamping plate 22 is connected to the linear drive assembly 2212.
[0040] After clamping the top plate 11, the lifting mechanism 21 drives the clamping plate 22 to rise again, and the rise of the clamping plate 22 causes the container 1 to rise synchronously.
[0041] During the ascent, the second motor 2223 drives the connecting shaft 2224 on the output shaft to rotate. The connecting shaft 2224, constrained by the slot 15411, drives the worm gear 1541 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the worm gear 1541 meshes with the worm wheel 1542, which in turn drives the first take-up roller 1543 to rotate. This causes the first rope 1546 to gradually wind onto the first take-up roller 1543. Meanwhile, the second take-up roller 1544 begins to rotate under the traction of the first rope 1546, and the first rope 1546 on the second take-up roller 1544 gradually unwinds, while the second rope 1547 gradually winds onto the second take-up roller 1544. In other words, during the forward rotation of the second take-up roller 1544, the first rope 1546 is released and the second rope 1547 is wound up. Since the end of the second rope 1547 away from the second take-up roller 1544 is connected to the top two sides of the plate 14, the winding of the second rope 1547 causes its connection with the plate 14 to gradually move to one side of the second take-up roller 1544. At this time, the bottom of the plate 14 rotates on the base plate 13, while the top is pulled towards the second take-up roller 1544 by the second rope 1547, and finally the plate 14 rotates from the initial vertical state to the horizontal state and adheres to the base plate 13.
[0042] Simultaneously, the rotation of the first take-up roller 1543 causes the third rope 1548 on it to gradually loosen. Since the end of the third rope 1548 away from the first take-up roller 1543 is connected to the top center of the plate 14, the rotation of the plate 14 will gradually pull the third rope 1548 from inside the top plate 11 into the container 1. At this time, the third take-up roller 1545 rotates along with the movement of the third rope 1548. That is to say, when the first take-up roller 1543 rotates, not only can the plate 14 be driven to rotate by the first rope 1546 and the second rope 1547, but the pulling of the third rope 1548 when the plate 14 rotates can also be satisfied. Similarly, according to the above steps, the plates 14 at both ends of the container 1 can be folded onto the bottom plate 13.
[0043] Subsequently, the second motor 2223 continues to drive the rotation of the first take-up roller 1543. Since the plate 14 has been folded onto the bottom plate 13, the distance between the plate 14 and the second take-up roller 1544 is at its shortest distance. The second rope 1547 can no longer rotate and rewind. Therefore, when the first take-up roller 1543 rewinds the first rope 1546, the second take-up roller 1544 stops rotating. The second take-up roller 1544 and the bottom plate 13 gradually rise as the rope is rewinded. Meanwhile, the third rope 1548 continues to detach from the first take-up roller 1543 as the first take-up roller 1543 rotates. Since the position of the plate 14 is fixed, the third take-up roller 1545 stops rotating. Therefore, the third rope 1548 will be piled up in the cavity between the first take-up roller 1543 and the second take-up roller 1544.
[0044] Simultaneously, the first motor 2221 drives the docking shaft 2222 to rotate. Since the docking shaft 2222 is inserted into the telescopic shaft 152, the rotation of the telescopic shaft 152 synchronously drives the telescopic shaft 152 to rotate. The rotation of the telescopic shaft 152 drives the first bevel gear set 1531 to rotate. Under the transmission of the first bevel gear set 1531, the transmission shaft 1532 synchronously follows the telescopic shaft 152 to rotate inside the top plate 11. The transmission shaft 1532 is connected to the hinge shaft 123 through the second bevel gear set 1533. Under the action of the second bevel gear set 1533, the hinge shaft 123 rotates synchronously. The first plate portion 121 of the side plate 12 is connected to the hinge shaft 123. Therefore, the rotation of the hinge shaft 123 drives the first plate portion 121 to rotate inward into the container 1. Since the first plate portion 121 and the second plate portion 122 are hinged together, the inward rotation of the first plate portion 121 will drive the relative movement between the second plate portion 122 and the first plate portion 121. The two gradually rotate from a straight line to a V shape, thereby realizing the initial folding of the container 1.
[0045] As the bottom plate 13 is pulled upward by the first rope 1546, the height of the container 1 gradually decreases with the folding of the first plate 121 and the second plate 122. The first plate 121 and the second plate 122 gradually rotate into the container 1 and gradually change from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and fold between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13. The rise of the bottom plate 13 also shortens the distance between it and the top plate 11. Therefore, with the cooperation of the first transmission assembly 153 and the second transmission assembly 154, after the folding of the two end plates 14 of the container 1 is completed, the folding of the two side plates 12 of the container 1 is also successfully completed, and finally the folding of the entire container 1 is completed.
[0046] After the folded container 1 is stacked in the designated position, the clamping plate 2211 releases its grip on the top plate 11, and the lifting mechanism 21 drives the clamping plate 22 to rise. At this time, the docking shaft 2222 extends out from the docking plate 151. As the docking shaft 2222 continues to extend, the spring 1522, after losing the pressure applied by the docking shaft 2222, drives the telescopic shaft 152 to return to its original position. The rectangular portion 1521 at the top of the telescopic shaft 152 re-extends into the rectangular opening 1512 of the docking hole 1511, and passes through the rectangular... The opening 1512 is designed to hold the rectangular part 1521 inside the rectangular opening 1512, preventing the telescopic shaft 152 from rotating after the docking shaft 2222 is disengaged. The connecting shaft 2224 also extends out from the slot 15411. Since the worm gear 1542 and worm 1541 have self-locking properties, the second transmission component 154 will not rotate or move after the connecting shaft 2224 is disengaged from the top of the worm 1541, thereby preventing the container 1 from unfolding during the stacking process.
[0047] Finally, when the folded container 1 needs to be unfolded, the connecting shaft 2224 extends into the slot 15411 at the top of the worm gear 1541 again and drives the worm gear 1541 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the worm wheel 1542 and the first winding roller 1543 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the first winding roller 1543 gradually releases the first rope 1546 and gradually winds up the part of the third rope 1548 stacked in the cavity. While the first rope 1546 is gradually released, the first motor 2221 drives the docking shaft 2222 to reverse and repeat the above steps to unfold the side panels 12 on both sides of the container 1. During the unfolding process, the release of the first rope 1546 limits the descent speed of the bottom plate 13 to prevent the bottom plate 13 from falling suddenly due to its weight.
[0048] After the side panel 12 is unfolded, the stacked portion of the third rope 1548 is completely wound onto the first take-up roller 1543. As the first take-up roller 1543 continues to rotate, the first rope 1546 gradually releases from it. Driven by the first take-up roller 1543, the third rope 1548 drives the second take-up roller 1544 to rotate, gradually drawing the third rope 1548 from inside the container 1 into the top panel 11. Since one end of the third rope 1548 is fixed to the top of the panel 14, the rotation of the first take-up roller 1543 pulls the panel 14 from the bottom panel 13 via the third rope 1548, causing it to rotate from a folded horizontal state to a vertical state. During the rotation of the panel 14, the second rope 1547 is pulled, driving the second take-up roller 1544 to rotate, and the second take-up... The rotation of roller 1544 winds up the first rope 1546 released by the rotation of the first winding roller 1543, so that after the plate 14 is fully rotated into a vertical state, the plate 14 is fully unfolded. Similarly, the plate 14 at the other end of the container 1 can be unfolded smoothly according to the above steps, thereby realizing the overall unfolding of the container 1. It should be noted that after the plate 14 is unfolded, the first rope 1546, the second rope 1547 and the third rope 1548 are all in a taut state. The first rope 1546 is located on the outer wall of the unfolded side plate 12, the second rope 1547 is attached to the inner wall of the unfolded side plate 12, and the third rope 1548 is located inside the top plate 11. Therefore, the first rope 1546, the second rope 1547 and the third rope 1548 will not affect the use of the unfolded container 1.
