Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of material turnover, and in particular to a continuous material turnover method. Background Art

[0002] In industrial production, material transportation and turnover are crucial, impacting the pace and efficiency of production. For example, in timber production, the primary material produced is timber beams. The transportation and turnover of these long, strip-shaped materials is primarily handled by semi-automatic manual processes. In such production lines, material transportation and turnover primarily involves batch transportation of individual materials, with no way to stack and store them in batches. This results in low transportation efficiency and long waiting times during turnover. Manual labor involved in turnover operations also results in high labor costs and is prone to safety incidents. Summary of the Invention

[0003] An embodiment of the present invention provides a continuous material turnover method to solve the continuous turnover of wooden materials, realize the automated operation of wooden materials, improve turnover efficiency, avoid manual participation in turnover work, reduce labor costs and improve the safety factor of turnover operations.

[0004] One aspect of the present invention provides a continuous material turnover method, which is carried out according to the following steps:

[0005] S1. Divide the materials into batches. The first piece of material in the same batch is transported to the first stop position via the feeding roller. At this time, the turnover vehicle is in a state of preparation for taking materials, and the turnover transport roller on the turnover vehicle is in a state of descending and preparing for taking materials;

[0006] S2. When the first piece of material is at the first stop position, the jacking cylinder under the feeding roller is driven to lift the material, and then the propulsion cylinder on the rear side of the feeding roller is driven to push the material forward to the ferry conveyor. The first piece of material moves forward the set distance on the ferry conveyor to the second stop position. At the same time, the propulsion cylinder and the jacking cylinder return respectively. The second piece of material reaches the first stop position, and then the jacking cylinder and the propulsion cylinder repeat the above actions to push the second piece of material to the ferry conveyor. This process is repeated until all the materials of the same batch are placed on the ferry conveyor.

[0007] S3. After the same batch of materials are placed on the ferry transport mechanism, the ferry transport mechanism is started to transport the materials forward, and at the same time, the reversing jacking cylinder at the bottom of the material receiving mechanism is started to rise. At this time, the turnover vehicle is also placed at the material receiving mechanism position, and the turnover conveyor roller on the turnover vehicle is placed inside the material receiving mechanism. The auxiliary material receiving module on the turnover vehicle extends to both sides of the ferry transport mechanism. The same batch of materials on the ferry transport mechanism are transported to the material receiving mechanism as a whole through the auxiliary material receiving module. At this time, the materials arrive at the third stop position from the second stop position;

[0008] S4, after the material is transported to the material receiving mechanism, the reversing lifting cylinder is started to descend, and the material falls along with the material receiving mechanism to the turnover conveyor roller, and the material moves from the third stop position to the fourth stop position;

[0009] S5. After the material is positioned, the turnover vehicle is started to move along the track toward the designated storage warehouse. At the same time, the turnover vehicle lifts the material to the designated height by the lifting mechanism on the top. When the turnover vehicle reaches the location corresponding to the designated storage warehouse, it stops moving and the turnover conveyor roller is started to transport the material to the storage warehouse.

[0010] S6. After the materials are transported to the designated storage warehouse, the turnover vehicle starts to move towards the material receiving mechanism. At the same time, the lifting mechanism starts to lower the lifting turnover transport roller to the initial position, thus completing the turnover of a batch of materials.

[0011] S7. After the first batch of materials has been transported and circulated, the next batch of materials has arrived at the second stop position, and steps S3 to S6 are repeated to complete the turnover of the remaining batches of materials.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The present invention realizes the batch turnover transportation and storage of materials through the cooperation of feeding rollers, ferrying transport mechanisms, material receiving mechanisms and turnover vehicles, realizes the automatic transportation turnover of long strip materials, avoids manual participation in turnover operations, improves the efficiency of material transportation turnover, reduces labor costs, and also avoids the safety hazards of manual participation in turnover.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Here, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] The present invention relates to a continuous material turnover device, which is mainly composed of a turnover vehicle 6, a feeding roller 2, a ferrying and carrying mechanism 4, and a material receiving mechanism 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, a lifting cylinder 8 is installed between two adjacent feeding rollers in the feeding roller conveyor 2. When the lifting cylinder 8 is lifted, the material 1 on the feeding roller conveyor 2 can be lifted.

[0032] A propulsion cylinder 3 is installed on the rear side of the feeding roller 2. The propulsion cylinder 3 is extended horizontally to push the material 1 on the feeding roller 2 forward horizontally.

[0033] The ferrying transport mechanism 4 is placed between the feeding roller 2 and the material receiving mechanism 5. The ferrying transport mechanism 4 is mainly composed of a ferrying transport mechanism drive motor and a ferry transmission shaft 42. The output end of the ferrying transport mechanism drive motor 41 is connected to the ferry transmission shaft through a transmission component 1.

[0034] Transmission assembly 1 consists of sprocket 1, sprocket 2, and the ferry mechanism transmission chain. Sprocket 1 is connected to the output of the ferry mechanism drive motor 41. Sprocket 2 is mounted on the ferry mechanism shaft 42. Sprockets 1 and 2 are connected via the ferry mechanism transmission chain. Rotation of the ferry mechanism drive motor 41 drives the ferry mechanism transmission shaft 42 through the ferry mechanism transmission chain.

[0035] A drive sprocket 1 43 is mounted on each end of the ferry drive shaft 42. Drive sprocket 1 43 rotates coaxially with the ferry drive shaft 42. Two drive sprockets 44 are also mounted on the front side of the ferry drive shaft 42. Drive sprockets 2 44 correspond to drive sprocket 1 43 in a one-to-one relationship, and are connected to their corresponding drive sprockets 1 43 via a ferry chain 45. The two ends of the material 1 land on the ferry chain 45 and are transported forward.

[0036] The material receiving mechanism mainly consists of a base 52, a material receiving mechanism drive motor 54 and a material receiving transmission shaft 55. The material receiving mechanism drive motor 54 is installed on the base 52, and the output end of the material receiving mechanism drive motor 54 is connected to the material receiving transmission shaft 55 through a transmission component 2.

[0037] Transmission component two is mainly composed of sprocket three, sprocket four and material receiving mechanism transmission chain. Sprocket three is connected to the output end of the material receiving mechanism drive motor 54, sprocket four is connected to the material receiving mechanism transmission shaft 55, and sprocket three and sprocket four are connected through the material receiving mechanism transmission chain. The material receiving mechanism drive motor 54 rotates, and the material receiving mechanism transmission shaft 55 rotates through the material receiving mechanism transmission chain.

[0038] The left and right ends of the material receiving transmission shaft 55 are respectively provided with a transmission sprocket three 56, which rotates coaxially with the material receiving transmission shaft 55. Two transmission sprockets four 57 are also installed on the rear side of the material receiving mechanism. The transmission sprocket four 57 and the transmission sprocket three 56 are arranged in correspondence with each other, and the transmission sprocket four 57 and its corresponding transmission sprocket three 56 are connected by a material receiving chain 51. After the two ends of the material 1 fall on the material receiving mechanism 5, they are respectively transported forward through the material receiving chain 51.

[0039] In this embodiment, a reversing lifting cylinder 53 is also installed at the bottom of the base 52 of the material receiving mechanism 5. The piston rod of the reversing lifting cylinder 53 is connected to the base 52, and the reversing lifting cylinder 53 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the entire material receiving mechanism 5.

[0040] The turnover vehicle 6 is mainly composed of a vehicle body 61, a turnover frame 62 placed inside the vehicle body 61, and a lifting mechanism on the top of the vehicle body 61. The vehicle body 61 as a whole is composed of four columns 611. The top and bottom of the four columns 611 are respectively connected by mounting frames 612. The bottoms of the four columns 611 are respectively installed with rollers. The bottoms of the two columns 611 located on the front side of the vehicle body 61 are respectively installed with vehicle body moving motors 613. The output ends of the vehicle body moving motors 613 are connected to their corresponding two rollers 614, so that the two rolling wheels 614 on the front side of the vehicle body 61 serve as driving wheels for the movement of the vehicle body 61 to drive the vehicle body to move as a whole, while the rollers 614 at the bottom of the two columns 611 on the rear side of the vehicle body 61 serve as driven wheels for the movement of the vehicle body 61 to assist the movement of the vehicle body.

[0041] In this embodiment, tracks 7 are laid on the ground corresponding to the rollers 614 at the bottom of the vehicle body 61. The tracks 7 are laid directly from both sides of the material receiving mechanism 5 to the storage warehouse for the turnover of materials.

[0042] A turnover frame 62 is provided inside the vehicle body, and auxiliary material receiving modules 9 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the turnover frame 62. Each auxiliary material receiving module 9 is composed of an auxiliary material receiving drive motor 92, an auxiliary material receiving transmission wheel 93 and an auxiliary material receiving driven wheel 94. The output end of the auxiliary material receiving drive motor 92 is connected to the auxiliary material receiving transmission wheel 93, and the auxiliary material receiving transmission wheel 93 is connected to the auxiliary material receiving driven wheel 94 through an auxiliary material receiving chain 95.

[0043] In this embodiment, the rear end of each auxiliary material receiving module 9 extends to the outside of the turnover frame 62. When the turnover frame 62 falls onto the material receiving mechanism 5, the two auxiliary material receiving modules 9 just extend to the left and right sides of the material receiving mechanism 5. When the material 1 is transported forward by the ferry transport mechanism 4, it transitions to the material receiving mechanism 5 through the auxiliary material receiving module 9.

[0044] In this embodiment, lifting wheels 621 are respectively installed at the four top corners of the turnover frame 62, and guide wheels 615 are provided around the mounting frames 612 at the top and bottom of the vehicle body 61 at positions corresponding to the lifting wheels 621. The lifting mechanism at the top of the vehicle body 61 is a winch 63, and the winch 63 is provided corresponding to the lifting wheels 621 on the front and rear sides. The wire rope of the winch 63 passes around the guide wheel 615 and is connected to the lifting wheel 621, and the lifting of the turnover frame 62 is realized by the winch 63.

[0045] A turnover conveying roller 64 is provided inside the turnover frame 62 along a direction perpendicular to the running direction of the material receiving mechanism 5 . The turnover conveying roller 64 is driven by a turnover conveying roller motor 65 .

[0046] When using the above-mentioned continuous material turnover device for material turnover, the following steps are performed:

[0047] S1. All materials are divided into batches. The first material in the same batch is transported to the first stop position through the feeding roller 2. At this time, the initial state of the turnover vehicle 6 is the state of preparation for taking materials. The turnover transport roller 64 on the turnover vehicle 6 is now on the material receiving mechanism 5, and is in the state of preparation for taking materials.

[0048] S2. When the first piece of material reaches the first stop position, the lifting cylinder 8 under the feeding roller 2 is started, the lifting cylinder 8 lifts the material, and then the propulsion cylinder 3 on the rear side of the feeding roller 2 is started to push the material forward to the ferry conveying mechanism 4, and the ferry conveying mechanism drive motor 41 is started to make the first piece of material move forward on the ferry conveying mechanism 4 a set distance to reach the second stop position, and at the same time the propulsion cylinder 3 and the lifting cylinder 8 return respectively, and the feeding roller 2 continues to transport the second piece of material. When the second piece of material reaches the first stop position, the lifting cylinder 8 and the propulsion cylinder 3 repeat the above actions to push the second piece of material to the ferry conveying mechanism 4, and so on, until all the materials of the same batch are placed on the ferry conveying mechanism 4.

[0049] S3. After all the materials of the same batch are placed on the ferry transport mechanism 4, the ferry transport mechanism 4 is started to transport the materials forward, and at the same time, the reversing lifting cylinder 53 at the bottom of the material receiving mechanism 5 is started, and the reversing lifting cylinder 53 extends upward to make the material receiving mechanism 5 rise as a whole. At this time, the turnover vehicle 6 is also placed on the material receiving mechanism 5, and the turnover conveyor roller 64 on the turnover vehicle 5 is placed inside the material receiving mechanism 5 (that is, the turnover conveyor roller 64 is placed between the transmission sprocket three 56 at both ends of the material receiving transmission shaft 55), and the auxiliary material receiving modules 9 on both sides of the turnover vehicle 6 extend to both sides of the ferry transport mechanism 4. The same batch of materials on the ferry transport mechanism 4 are transported to the material receiving mechanism 5 as a whole through the auxiliary material receiving modules 9. At this time, the material reaches the third stop position from the second stop position.

[0050] S4. After the material is transported to the material receiving mechanism 5, the reversing lifting cylinder 53 is started to descend, and the material descends along with the material receiving mechanism 5. The top of the material receiving chain 51 must be lower than the roller surface of the turnover conveyor roller 65. The material falls onto the turnover conveyor roller 64. At this time, the material changes from the third stop position to the fourth stop position.

[0051] S5. After the material is moved, the turnover vehicle 6 is started to move along the track 7 to the set storage warehouse. At the same time, the turnover vehicle 6 lifts the turnover frame 62 according to the set number of layers through the winch 63 on the top; the turnover vehicle 6 stops moving after arriving at the designated storage warehouse, and the turnover conveyor roller 64 is started to transport the material to the storage warehouse.

[0052] S6. After the materials are transported to the designated storage warehouse, the turnover vehicle 6 starts to move toward the material receiving mechanism 5. At the same time, the winch 63 starts to lower the turnover transport roller 64 to the initial position, thus completing the turnover of a batch of materials.

[0053] S7. After the first batch of materials has been transported and circulated, the next batch of materials has arrived at the second stop position, and steps S3 to S6 are repeated to complete the turnover of the remaining batches of materials.

[0054] The present invention conveys the material to the first stop position with the help of a feeding roller, and then pushes the material to the ferry transport mechanism to wait for all the materials of the same batch to be ready in place. The ferry transport mechanism 4 then conveys the material to the material receiving mechanism 5 with the help of the auxiliary material receiving module 9. After the material receiving mechanism 5, the material is reversed and falls onto the turnover conveyor roller 64 and is transported to the storage warehouse via the turnover vehicle 6. It can complete the continuous turnover of the material, avoid manual participation in the material turnover operation, improve the efficiency and safety of the material turnover, and avoid accidents caused by manual participation in the turnover.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
