DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The present application provides a pushing assembly 100, a loading and unloading device 1000 and a loading and unloading conveying equipment, which can gradually push the traffic cones to realize the automation of traffic cone folding and unfolding operation and improve the working efficiency.

[0040] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, but cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 According to the pushing assembly 100 in the embodiments of the present application, the pushing assembly 100 comprises a support 10, a positioning piece 20, a first driving piece 30 and a second driving piece 40, the positioning piece 20 is movably arranged on the support 10 along a first direction, the first driving piece 30 is connected with the support 10 and drives the positioning piece 20 to move along the first direction, and the second driving piece 40 is connected with the support 10 and drives the support 10 to move along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. In this way, the traffic cones can be gradually pushed to improve the stability of traffic cone folding and unfolding operation.

[0042] The positioning piece 20 can cooperate with the traffic cone to keep the relative position of the traffic cone and the positioning piece 20 unchanged. For example, an adhesive structure can be arranged on the positioning piece 20 to fixedly connect with the traffic cone; for another example, a clamping structure can be arranged on the positioning piece 20 to fixedly connect with the traffic cone; for another example, a magnetic attraction structure can be arranged on the positioning piece 20, and a corresponding magnetic piece can be arranged on the traffic cone, and the traffic cone and the positioning piece 20 are fixedly connected through the magnetic cooperation between the magnetic attraction structure and the magnetic piece. The protection scope of the present application includes but is not limited to the cooperation modes of the positioning piece 20 and the traffic cone described above.

[0043] In combination with the drawings Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , the first direction in the present application is the up-down direction in the drawings, the second direction is the front-rear direction in the drawings, and the third direction is the left-right direction in the drawings. Of course, the description of the orientation in the present application is only some embodiments of the present application, and is not a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. On the basis of not changing the design intention of the present application, the adjustment of the scheme is still within the protection scope of the present application.

[0044] For example, in combination with the drawings Figure 1 , in the front-rear direction, the second driving member 40 and the first driving member 30 are sequentially arranged, and in the working process of the pushing assembly 100, the positioning member 20 is in the initial position (wherein, in the initial position, the positioning member 20 is separated from the traffic cone), the first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to move upward to approach the traffic cone, so that the positioning member 20 cooperates with the traffic cone, so that the relative position of the positioning member 20 and the traffic cone can remain unchanged, then the second driving member 40 can drive the bracket 10 to move forward, so that the traffic cone can be driven to move forward by a predetermined distance to push the traffic cone; then the first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to move downward to move away from the traffic cone, so that the positioning member 20 and the traffic cone are disengaged, and then the second driving member 40 can drive the bracket 10 to move backward to drive the positioning member 20 to move backward to the initial position; through the foregoing steps, the traffic cone can be pushed by a predetermined distance, and it can be understood that the pushing assembly 100 can repeatedly push the traffic cone by a predetermined distance to gradually push multiple traffic cones, so as to realize the automation of the traffic cone retraction and extension operation and improve the work efficiency.

[0045] Of course, according to the actual situation, the pushing assembly 100 can also realize the pushing of the traffic cone in the following way; in detail, in the front-rear direction, the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 are sequentially arranged, the positioning member 20 can be in the initial position, the second driving member 40 can drive the bracket 10 to move backward along the second direction to drive the positioning member 20 to move backward, then the first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to move upward to approach the traffic cone, so that the positioning member 20 cooperates with the traffic cone, so that the relative position of the positioning member 20 and the traffic cone can remain unchanged; then the second driving member 40 can drive the bracket 10 to move forward to drive the positioning member 20 to move forward, so that the traffic cone is driven to move forward by a predetermined distance to push the traffic cone, then the first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to move downward to move away from the traffic cone, so that the positioning member 20 and the traffic cone are disengaged, and at the same time, the positioning member 20 can return to the initial position.

[0046] Therefore, according to the pushing component 100 in the embodiment of the present invention, the pushing component 100 can gradually push the traffic cones in the loading and unloading conveying equipment to realize the automation of traffic cone placement and collection operations and improve work efficiency.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the bracket 10 may have a receiving cavity 11, the positioning member 20 may be inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and can move in the receiving cavity 11 along the first direction. With this configuration, the positioning member 20 can be moved a predetermined distance along the first direction by the limiting effect of the receiving cavity 11, thereby realizing the pushing of the pushing component 100.

[0048] When the pushing component 100 is working, the positioning member 20 is in the initial position. The first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to move within the receiving cavity 11 so that the positioning member 20 approaches and engages with the traffic cone. Subsequently, the second driving member 40 can drive the bracket 10 to move along the second direction and approach the second driving member 40 so that the positioning member 20 can move the traffic cone a predetermined distance along the second direction. Then, the first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to move within the receiving cavity 11 so that the positioning member 20 disengages from the traffic cone. Subsequently, the second driving member 40 can drive the bracket 10 to move away from the second driving member 40 along the second direction so that the positioning member 20 can return to the initial position along the second direction. By continuously repeating the aforementioned steps, the automatic pushing of the traffic cone is achieved.

[0049] Furthermore, according to the actual usage description, the first direction can be the up-down direction and the second direction can be the front-back direction. Therefore, the bracket 10 can include a top wall and a bottom wall. In other words, the positioning member 20 can be limited by the top wall and the bottom wall so that the positioning member 20 can move within a predetermined range along the first direction to ensure the normal operation of the pushing component 100. For example, by limiting the position of the positioning member 20 by the top wall and the bottom wall, the positioning member 20 can be prevented from falling off the bracket 10, or the movement of the positioning member 20 can be prevented from exceeding the predetermined range, which would cause the positioning member 20 to collide with other structural members. In other words, the safety of the pushing component 100 can be improved by the top wall and the bottom wall, and the occurrence of safety accidents can be reduced.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a positioning groove 12 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11. The positioning groove 12 extends along a first direction. A slider is provided on the positioning member 20. The slider is slidably disposed in the positioning groove 12 along the first direction. It can be understood that when the positioning member 20 moves along the first direction, the slider can slide in the positioning groove 12 along the first direction to realize the guiding function of the positioning groove 12, so that the positioning member 20 can move stably along the first direction and ensure the normal operation of the pushing component 100.

[0051] In some specific examples, the second driving member 40 may be a cylinder, the cylinder rod of which may be connected to the positioning member 20 by a pin, and the pin may be slidably disposed in the positioning groove 12 to provide guidance for the movement of the positioning member 20.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the bracket 10 may include multiple brackets arranged side by side along a third direction, that is, multiple brackets 10 are arranged side by side along a third direction, the positioning member 20 extends along a third direction and can be movably connected to the multiple brackets 10 respectively, at least one of the multiple brackets 10 is connected to a first driving member 30, and at least one of the multiple brackets 10 is connected to a second driving member 40. The third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other, thereby improving the movement stability of the positioning member 20, thereby improving the structural strength of the pushing component 100 and ensuring that the pushing component 100 can work normally.

[0053] Optionally, the positioning element 20 extends along a third direction, and multiple brackets 10 are arranged side by side on the positioning element 20 along the third direction. The positioning element 20 is movably connected to the multiple brackets 10. Each of the multiple brackets 10 is connected to a first driving element 30 and a second driving element 40. It can be understood that the positioning element 20 can be driven by multiple first driving elements 30 and multiple second driving elements 40 to improve the pushing ability of the positioning element 20. At the same time, the positioning element 20 has a certain length. When multiple traffic cones are arranged along the third direction, the positioning element 20 can push multiple traffic cones simultaneously to improve the efficiency of the deployment and retrieval operation.

[0054] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning member 20 may include a crossbeam 21 and a positioning part 22.

[0055] The crossbeam 21 is movably mounted on the bracket 10 along the first direction. The positioning part 22 is connected to the crossbeam 21 and protrudes from the crossbeam 21 along the first direction. The positioning part 22 can be configured to push the traffic cone along the second direction, so that the positioning member 20 can cooperate with the traffic cone to push the traffic cone through the positioning part 22.

[0056] In detail, when the pushing component 100 is working, the positioning part 22 is in the initial position. The first driving member 30 can drive the crossbeam 21 to move along the first direction so that the positioning part 22 is close to the traffic cone. Then, the second driving member 40 can indirectly drive the crossbeam 21 to move along the second direction to move closer to the second driving member 40. At this time, the positioning part 22 on the crossbeam 21 can abut against the traffic cone to drive the traffic cone to move a predetermined distance along the second direction, thereby pushing the traffic cone. Then, the first driving member 30 can drive the crossbeam 21 to move along the first direction so that the positioning part 22 is away from the traffic cone. Then, the second driving member 40 can indirectly drive the crossbeam 21 to move away from the second driving member 40 along the second direction so that the positioning part 22 returns to the initial position. The traffic cone can be pushed a predetermined distance repeatedly, improving the automation of the traffic cone placement and removal operation and increasing work efficiency.

[0057] Furthermore, the positioning member 20 may be provided with a groove 23, which may penetrate the crossbeam 21 along the second direction and be located on the same side of the crossbeam 21 as the positioning part 22. The groove 23 is configured to guide the positioning member 20 to move along the second direction, thereby improving the movement stability of the positioning member 20 and thus improving the reliability of the pushing assembly 100.

[0058] In detail, the push assembly 100 can be installed on the housing 200, and the housing 200 can include a support structure. The support structure can be provided with a guide structure 212, which can extend along a second direction. Therefore, when the push assembly 100 is working, the first drive member 30 can move along a first direction so that the groove 23 on the positioning member 20 can disengage from and be inserted into the guide structure 212. Through the cooperation between the groove 23 and the guide structure 212, the positioning member 20 can be guided to move along the second direction to improve the movement stability of the positioning member 20.

[0059] In addition, the groove 23 and the positioning part 22 can be located on the same side of the crossbeam 21. It is understood that the first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to move along the first direction, so that the positioning part 22 can approach the traffic cone, and the groove 23 can be embedded in the guide structure. Then, under the drive of the second driving member 40, the positioning part 22 can drive the traffic cone to move a predetermined distance along the second direction, and the guide structure 212 can guide the positioning member 20 to move stably along the second direction, thereby improving the reliability of movement.

[0060] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the crossbeam 21 may extend along a third direction, and the positioning part 22 includes a plurality of parts, which are arranged on the crossbeam 21 along a third direction and are adapted to cooperate with the traffic cone, thereby improving the working efficiency of the pushing component 100.

[0061] Specifically, the crossbeam 21 extends along a third direction and can have a certain length. Multiple positioning parts 22 can be arranged on the crossbeam 21. When the pushing component 100 is working, the crossbeam 21 can push the traffic cones along a predetermined trajectory. During this process, multiple traffic cones can be arranged along a third direction, and the multiple positioning parts 22 arranged on the crossbeam 21 can push multiple traffic cones respectively, thereby improving the pushing efficiency of the pushing component 100.

[0062] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning part 22 includes at least one positioning post disposed on the upper surface of the crossbeam 21 to realize the pushing of the pushing component.

[0063] Specifically, when the pushing component 100 is working, the first driving member 30 can drive the crossbeam 21 to move upward to the top wall of the accommodating cavity 11 so that the positioning post can move upward. When the second driving member 40 drives the bracket 10, the positioning post can abut against the traffic cone to drive the traffic cone to move along the second direction, thereby realizing the pushing of the traffic cone.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second driving member 40 includes a driving part 41, a first sleeve 42 and a second sleeve 43. The second sleeve 43 is telescopically sleeved with the first sleeve 42 along a second direction. The driving part 41 is connected to the first sleeve 42 and the driving end is connected to the second sleeve 43. This arrangement allows the bracket 10 to move stably along the second direction, thereby realizing the pushing of the traffic cone.

[0065] In detail, the drive unit 41 can be connected to the first sleeve 42, and the drive end of the drive unit 41 can move inside the first sleeve 42 and be connected to the second sleeve 43. When the second drive member 40 is running, the second sleeve 43 can move relative to the first sleeve 42 in a second direction so that the second sleeve 43 can extend and retract from the first sleeve 42. Through the sleeve connection between the first sleeve 42 and the second sleeve 43, the stability of the movement of the second drive member 40 can be improved.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member 30 may include a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. Driving with a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder can simplify the structure of the pushing component 100, and the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder has high versatility and is easy to maintain.

[0067] In other embodiments of the present invention, the second driving member 40 may include a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. Driving with a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder can simplify the structure of the pushing component 100, and the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder has high versatility and is easy to maintain.

[0068] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 may both include a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder to simplify the structure of the pushing assembly 100 and facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the driving member.

[0069] Of course, depending on the actual situation, at least one of the first driving member 30 and the second driving member 40 can be a screw drive structure, which can improve the stability of the pushing assembly 100. For example, the driving end of the driving part 41 can be a screw structure, and the driving end can be screw-driven with the second sleeve 43 so that the second sleeve 43 can extend and retract relative to the first sleeve 42 in the second direction. Due to the characteristics of the screw drive mechanism, the driving end of the driving part 41 cannot be driven in reverse by the second sleeve 43, which can improve the working stability of the pushing assembly 100.

[0070] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the loading and unloading device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 200 and a pushing component 100 as described in the above embodiment.

[0071] The housing 200 may have a storage space 300, which may be configured to accommodate traffic cones. The second drive component 40 may be connected to the housing 200. By applying the aforementioned push component 100, the traffic cones can be stably pushed in the storage space 300, which facilitates the placement and removal of traffic cones and improves work efficiency.

[0072] Specifically, the traffic cone can be housed in the storage space 300. The driving part 41 of the second driving member 40 and / or the first sleeve 42 can be connected to the housing 200, and the driving end of the driving part 41 can be connected to the second sleeve 43. When the loading and unloading device 1000 is working, the positioning part 22 can be in the initial position, and the first driving member 30 can drive the crossbeam 21 to move from the bottom wall to the top wall of the housing cavity 11 so that the positioning part 22 on the crossbeam 21 can cooperate with the traffic cone. Subsequently, the second driving member 40 can drive the bracket 10 along the first... The second drive member 40 approaches the second drive member 30 in two directions, so that the positioning part 22 can abut against the traffic cone in the second direction, thereby driving the traffic cone to move a predetermined distance in the second direction and realizing the pushing of the traffic cone; then the first drive member 30 can drive the crossbeam 21 to move from the top wall to the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, so that the positioning part 22 on the crossbeam 21 can disengage from the traffic cone; subsequently, the second drive member 40 can drive the bracket 10 away from the second drive member 40 in the second direction, so that the positioning part 22 can move to the initial position in the second direction.

[0073] Therefore, by repeating the aforementioned steps, the traffic cone can be pushed; during the process of pushing the traffic cone into the storage space 300, the first traffic cone can be placed in the storage space 300, and then the second traffic cone can be pushed a predetermined distance by the pushing component 100 so that the second traffic cone is stacked behind the first traffic cone, and with the repeated pushing of the pushing component 100, multiple traffic cones can be stacked in the storage space 300.

[0074] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 200 may include a support structure.

[0075] The supporting structure may be provided with a clearance groove 211, which extends along the second direction. The positioning member 20 may be provided on one side of the supporting structure and is adapted to extend through the clearance groove 211 into the other side of the supporting structure to push the traffic cone located on the other side of the supporting structure. It can be understood that, in conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment, when the loading and unloading device 1000 is working, the first driving member 30 can drive the crossbeam 21 to move from the bottom wall to the top wall of the accommodating cavity 11, so that the positioning part 22 on the crossbeam 21 can extend into the other side of the supporting structure. Subsequently, under the action of the second driving member 40, the positioning part 20 can be positioned... The positioning part 22 can move in the clearance groove 211 along the second direction, and at the same time, the positioning part 22 can abut against the traffic cone to drive the traffic cone to move a predetermined distance along the second direction; then the first driving member 30 can drive the crossbeam 21 to move from the top wall of the accommodating cavity 11 to the bottom wall, and the positioning part 22 can move from the other side of the support structure back to one side. In other words, the clearance groove 211 can be used to make way for the movement of the positioning member 20, so as to better realize the pushing of the pushing component 100, and also avoid the traffic cone from colliding with other structures of the pushing component 100 except for the positioning member 20, which would affect the normal pushing.

[0076] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 200 may include a support structure, the support structure may be provided with a guide structure 212, the positioning member 20 is provided with a groove 23, the guide structure 212 extends along a second direction and cooperates with the positioning member 20 along a first direction to guide the positioning member 20 to move along the second direction, thereby improving the movement stability of the positioning member 20.

[0077] There are various ways in which the guide structure 212 and the positioning member 20 can be matched; for example, the guide structure 212 can be a guide rail, and the positioning member 20 can be provided with a pulley, which can be rolled in the guide rail; or, the guide structure 212 can be constructed with a groove 23, and the positioning member 20 can be provided with a protrusion, which can be disengaged from and inserted into the groove 23; of course, the scope of protection of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the aforementioned matching methods.

[0078] Optionally, the first driving member 30 can engage with the guide structure 212 along the first direction, at which time the guide structure 212 can provide guidance for the movement of the driving member along the second direction, thereby improving the stability of the push; and after the push is completed, the first driving member 30 can move the driving member along the first direction to disengage from the guide structure 212.

[0079] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 A portion of the support structure is recessed to form a guide structure 212 on one side of the support structure and a guide groove 213 on the other side of the support structure. The loading and unloading device 1000 also includes a bracket 400, with a roller 410 at the bottom of the bracket 400. The roller 410 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 213. Specifically, the bracket 400 can be used to support traffic cones, such as multiple traffic cones stacked in the storage space 300. The bracket 400 supports the first of the multiple traffic cones so that the multiple traffic cones can be neatly accommodated in the storage space 300. In addition, the pushing component 100 can push the traffic cones into the storage space 300. At this time, the bracket 400 can move in a second direction through the cooperation of the bottom roller 410 and the guide groove 213 to assist in pushing the traffic cones in.

[0080] In addition, the top of the bracket 400 may be provided with a slot 420, which can be used to place traffic cones to support them, so that multiple stacked traffic cones can be placed in an orderly manner in the storage space 300.

[0081] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the box 200 may include a plurality of base plates 210, which are stacked and spaced apart along a first direction. A storage space 300 is constructed above each base plate 210. Therefore, a plurality of storage spaces 300 can be constructed through the plurality of base plates 210 to improve the storage rate of traffic cones in the box 200.

[0082] In some specific examples, multiple base plates 210 may have retraction and extension ends, through which traffic cones can be retracted and extended, and the push component 100 may be set at the retraction and extension end, making it convenient for technicians to maintain the push component 100.

[0083] According to the loading and unloading conveying equipment in the embodiments of the present invention, the loading and unloading conveying equipment may include a vehicle frame and the loading and unloading device 1000 in the above embodiments.

[0084] The loading and unloading device 1000 can be installed on the vehicle frame. By using the aforementioned loading and unloading device 1000, the stability of the engineering vehicle during the operation of placing and removing traffic cones can be improved, ensuring the normal operation of the operation.

[0085] Specifically, the housing 200 includes multiple bottom plates 210 stacked on top of each other and spaced apart. A storage space 300 can be constructed above each bottom plate 210. The first sleeve 42 and / or the drive part 41 of the pushing component 100 are connected to the lower side of the bottom plate 210. The bottom plate 210 is provided with a clearance groove 211. When the pushing component 100 is working, the positioning member 20 can pass through the clearance groove 211 to extend into the other side of the bottom plate 210 to push the traffic cone located on the other side of the bottom plate 210.

[0086] Additionally, at least a portion of the base plate 210 has recesses to form a guide structure 212 on one side of the base plate 210 and a guide groove 213 on the other side. A bracket 400 can be disposed on the other side of the base plate 210 to support the traffic cone, facilitating its deployment and retraction. A roller 410 can be provided at the bottom of the bracket 400, slidably disposed within the guide groove 213 to guide the bracket 400 to move in the second direction, improving operational stability and preventing vibration of the loading / unloading conveying equipment from causing the support 10 to deviate. Furthermore, a groove 23 can be provided on the positioning member 20 disposed on the other side of the base plate 210. The first driving member 30 can drive the positioning member 20 to detach from and engage with the guide structure 212, guiding the positioning member 20 to move in the second direction, facilitating the pushing of the pushing assembly 100.

[0087] The loading and unloading conveying equipment in this embodiment of the invention has an anti-shake function, meaning that during transportation and operation, when encountering uneven road surfaces causing vibrations in the carriage, the guide wheels of the cone ejection mechanism inside the carriage will not jump out of their grooves, and the traffic cones will not be placed haphazardly. In addition, it also has an overall propulsion and guiding function, that is, pushing a layer of traffic cones parallel and uniformly a certain distance towards the front of the carriage to facilitate the fixed-point cone delivery by the clamping mechanism; secondly, it also has anti-wear and noise reduction functions, and prevents sharp noise caused by dry friction between steel components, here using plastic wheel rolling instead of sliding friction between steel components.

[0088] In some specific examples of the present invention, the push rod stepping mechanism (i.e., the push assembly 100) is composed of a vertical cylinder, a horizontal cylinder, a crossbeam 21, etc. Under the combined action of the vertical cylinder and the horizontal cylinder, the push rod stepping mechanism pushes the entire traffic cone toward the front of the carriage in a stepping motion.

[0089] The structure of the first driving member 30 may include:

[0090] Vertical sleeve, which is made of rectangular tube and welded to horizontal push rod, is mainly used to install vertical cylinder, guide and limit crossbeam 21, and move vertical push rod, as well as protect vertical cylinder from radial force and extend its service life.

[0091] The vertical push rod is made of rectangular tube and welded to the upper surface of the crossbeam 21. The two ends of the crossbeam 21 are connected to the vertical cylinder rod by pins. Under the extension and retraction of the vertical cylinder, the crossbeam 21 drives the vertical push rod to move up and down in the vertical sleeve and the slot of the bottom plate 210. When the horizontal cylinder drives the horizontal push rod to move, the walking-type overall propulsion function of the loading and unloading conveying equipment is realized.

[0092] The crossbeam 21 is made of rectangular tube and provides a welding platform for the vertical push rod. When the horizontal cylinder drives the horizontal push rod to move, the overall propulsion function of the loading and unloading conveying equipment is realized.

[0093] The vertical cylinder is installed at the lower end of the vertical sleeve with screws. The vertical cylinder rod is connected to the crossbeam 21. Under the extension and retraction of the vertical cylinder, the crossbeam 21 is driven to move up and down in the vertical sleeve and the vertical push rod in the slot on the bottom plate 210. When the horizontal cylinder drives the horizontal push rod to move, the walking-type overall propulsion function of the loading and unloading conveying equipment is realized.

[0094] Additionally, the second drive unit 40 may include:

[0095] The drive unit 41 is installed at the front end of the first sleeve 42 with screws. The drive end of the drive unit 41 is connected to the second sleeve 43 with a pin. Under the extension and retraction movement of the drive unit 41, the second sleeve 43 is driven to move inside the first sleeve 42 to realize the walking-type overall propulsion function of the loading and unloading conveying equipment.

[0096] The first sleeve 42 is made of rectangular tube and welded to the bottom plate 210. It is mainly used to guide and limit the movement of the second sleeve 43, and to protect the drive unit 41 from radial force and extend its service life.

[0097] The second sleeve 43 is made of rectangular tube and is connected to the drive end of the drive unit 41 by a pin. Under the extension and retraction movement of the drive unit 41, the second sleeve 43 is driven to move horizontally within the first sleeve 42 to realize the walking-type overall propulsion function of the loading and unloading conveying equipment.
