DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The application provides a pushing assembly 100, a loading and unloading conveying device 1000 comprising the pushing assembly 100 and a vehicle comprising the loading and unloading conveying device 1000, which can automatically push traffic cones in the vehicle step by step, improve the stability of traffic cone loading and unloading operation and improve work efficiency.

[0034] Embodiments of the application are described in detail below with reference to examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which 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 with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the application.

[0035] As shown in the pushing assembly 100 in the embodiment of the application, Figures 1 to 4 The pushing assembly 100 can comprise a support 10, a first driving member 20 and a locking assembly 30.

[0036] The support 10 can be used to support the traffic cones, so that the traffic cones in the box body 200 can be orderly laid to avoid disorder, the first driving member 20 can comprise a first part 21 and a second part 22, the first part 21 can be connected with the second part 22 and relatively movable in a first direction, the first part 21 can be connected with the support 10, and the locking assembly 30 can be connected with the second part 22 and configured to lock and unlock the second part 22. In this way, the stability of traffic cone loading and unloading operation can be improved, and work efficiency can be improved.

[0037] For example, the pushing assembly 100 can be used to push out traffic cones; during use of the pushing assembly 100, the locking assembly 30 can be switched from an unlocked state to a locked state to lock the second part 22, and then the first part 21 can move relative to the second part 22 in the first direction to drive the support 10 to move in the first direction away from the locking assembly 30; then, the locking assembly 30 can be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state to unlock the second part 22, and at this time, the second part 22 can move relative to the first part 21 in the first direction towards the support 10 to drive the locking assembly 30 to move to the next position; in application, the pushing assembly 100 can be arranged in the box body 200, and by repeating the foregoing steps, the support 10 can gradually move to the loading and unloading end 212 of the box body 200 to push out the traffic cones on the support 10;

[0038] In addition, in the foregoing process, when the locking assembly 30 is in the unlocked state, the support 10 and the locking assembly 30 can approach each other under the action of the first driving member 20, causing the support 10 to move away from the loading and unloading end 212 and affecting the pushing out of the traffic cones. Therefore, a damping member can be arranged or provided on the support 10 to hinder the movement of the support 10 in the first direction and ensure the normal pushing of the pushing assembly 100.

[0039] Of course, the pushing assembly 100 can also be used to assist the traffic cone to be retracted; for example, the locking assembly 30 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state to lock the second part 22, then the first part 21 can move relative to the second part 22 in the first direction to drive the bracket 10 to move in the first direction towards the locking assembly 30; then the locking assembly 30 can be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state to unlock the second part 22, at this time the second part 22 can move relative to the first part 21 in the first direction away from the bracket 10 to drive the locking assembly 30 to move to the next position; in use, the pushing assembly 100 can be arranged in the box body 200, and by repeating the foregoing steps, the bracket 10 can gradually move away from the loading and unloading end 212 of the box body 200 to assist the traffic cone to be retracted.

[0040] Wherein, the traffic cone can be supported on the bracket 10, and when the bracket is driven to move in the above manner, the traffic cone arranged on the bracket can be driven to move, so that the traffic cone on the bracket 10 can be pushed out or retracted. When the traffic cone is pushed out by the pushing assembly 100, the traffic cone can be at least partially extended, which facilitates the traffic cone to be taken out for placement; by repeating the foregoing steps, the pushing assembly 100 can automatically walk in the first direction to stably push out the traffic cones one by one, so that the traffic cones can be taken out for placement, and the number of traffic cones pushed out can be prevented from being too large to cause the traffic cones to fall, thereby improving the stability of the operation.

[0041] In addition, the pushing assembly 100 can also be used to assist the traffic cone to be retracted, wherein the first traffic cone can be laid in the vehicle and supported on the bracket 10, and then the second traffic cone can be stacked behind the first traffic cone, at this time the pushing assembly 100 can be used to assist the traffic cone to be retracted, by the pushing assembly 100 walking in the first direction to assist the traffic cone to be retracted, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the traffic cone to be loaded and unloaded.

[0042] Of course, according to the actual situation, there are various relative movement modes of the first part 21 and the second part 22; for example, in the first direction, the first part 21 can slide relative to the second part 22; for example, in the first direction, the first part 21 and the second part 22 can be hinged to switch between folding and stretching to realize the movement of the first part 21 relative to the second part 22; but this is not a limitation on the protection scope of the present application.

[0043] In addition, it should be noted that in some specific examples, the first part 21 can have a driving effect to drive the second part 22 to move relative to the first part 21 in the first direction; in other examples, the second part 22 can have a driving effect to drive the first part 21 to move relative to the second part 22 in the first direction; in still other examples, a structure having a driving effect can be externally connected to drive the first part 21 to move relative to the second part 22 in the first direction, thereby achieving pushing of the traffic cone.

[0044] Therefore, according to the pushing assembly 100 in the embodiments of the present application, the traffic cones in the vehicle can be pushed out one by one, so that the vehicle can stably perform the traffic cone deployment and retraction operation, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments of the present application, the locking assembly 30 can include a second driving member 31 and a lock tongue 32. Figures 1 to 4

[0046] The second driving member 31 can be connected to the second part 22, and the lock tongue 32 can be connected to the second driving member 31 and have a locking position and an unlocking position. The lock tongue 32 locks the second part 22 in the locking position and unlocks the second part 22 in the unlocking position. The second driving member 31 is configured to drive the lock tongue 32 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position. It can be understood that when the traffic cone needs to be pushed out, the second driving member 31 can drive the lock tongue 32 to move from the unlocking position to the locking position to lock the second part 22. Then, the first part 21 can move away from the locking assembly 30 relative to the second part 22 to drive the traffic cone on the support 10 to be pushed out a predetermined distance. Then, the second driving member 31 can drive the lock tongue 32 to move from the locking position to the unlocking position to unlock the second part 22. Then, the second part 22 can move towards the support 10 relative to the first part 21, and the above steps can be repeated again to stably push out the traffic cones stacked one by one through the step-by-step automatic movement of the pushing assembly 100, thereby facilitating the deployment and retraction operation of the traffic cones.

[0047] ​Further, the lock tongue 32 is telescopically connected with the second driving member 31 along a second direction, the lock tongue 32 extends out of the second driving member 31 in the locking position and retracts into the second driving member 31 in the unlocking position, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; in detail, when the traffic cone needs to be pushed out, the second driving member 31 can drive the lock tongue 32 to extend along the second direction to move to the locking position, then the bracket 10 can be driven to move by the first driving member 20 to make the traffic cone extend out of the vehicle, so as to facilitate the traffic cone to be placed, then the lock tongue 32 can be driven to retract along the second direction by the second driving member 31 to move to the unlocking position, then the locking assembly 30 can be driven to move by the first driving member 20, so that the locking assembly 30 can move to the next locking position, and the above steps can be repeated to stably push out the traffic cones stacked in the vehicle one by one.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the bracket 10 can be connected with a roller 11, the roller 11 can be configured to support the bracket 10 and can roll along the first direction, it can be understood that the pushing assembly 100 can be arranged in the box 200 to push the traffic cones stacked in the box 200, and the bracket 10 can be separated from the box 200 by a predetermined distance through the roller 11, so as to avoid the bracket 10 from rubbing against the box 200 to affect the work when the traffic cones are pushed.

[0049] In detail, the roller 11 connected with the bracket 10 can have a certain friction with the box 200, so that the pushing assembly 100 can automatically push the traffic cones step by step, in other words, since the bracket 10 is supported in the box 200 by the roller 11, the second part 22 can move along the first direction with respect to the first part 21 to move the bracket 10 through the friction between the roller 11 and the box 200 when the locking assembly 30 is in the unlocking state, so that the pushing assembly 100 can automatically move step by step to push the traffic cones on the bracket 10 out, so as to facilitate the placement of the traffic cones.

[0050] In addition, in some specific examples, the roller 11 can be arranged at the bottom of the bracket 10 to support the bracket 10 in the box 200; or the roller 11 can be arranged at the side of the bracket 10 to facilitate the bracket 10 to be supported in the box 200; or the roller 11 can be arranged at the bottom and the side of the bracket 10 respectively to support the bracket 10 in the box 200.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, a damping member can be arranged on the support 10, which is configured to hinder the movement of the support 10 in the first direction. It can be understood that, during the process of pushing out or assisting in retracting the traffic cone by the pushing assembly 100, the first part 21 and the second part 22 of the first driving member 20 can be relatively displaced in the first direction, in other words, when the support 10 moves in the first direction towards the retractable end 212 of the box body 200, the support 10 will be driven by the first driving member 20 to move away from the retractable end 212 of the box body 200 due to the small or no damping between the support 10 and the box body 200, thereby affecting the pushing of the traffic cone. Therefore, the damping member can be arranged on the support 10 to overcome the driving force of the first driving member 20, so that the pushing assembly 100 can gradually move towards the retractable end 212, and the traffic cone can be pushed out.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 some embodiments of the present application, the top of the support 10 can be provided with a receiving groove 12 extending in the first direction. In this way, the support stability of the support 10 can be improved, and the traffic cone can be kept neat in the vehicle.

[0053] In detail, the general traffic cone is composed of a cone body and a base. The cone body of the traffic cone lying in the vehicle can be accommodated in the receiving groove 12. In other words, the traffic cone can be stably laid through the receiving groove 12, and the stability of the traffic cone can be maintained when the traffic cone is pushed out or pushed into the vehicle, thereby avoiding the disorderly placement of the traffic cone.

[0054] In addition, the receiving groove 12 extends in the first direction, so that a plurality of traffic cones can be stacked in the first direction in the storage space 300, thereby improving the storage rate of the storage space 300.

[0055] Of course, the traffic cone as a whole can also be placed in the receiving groove 12, so that the support 10 can be driven by the first driving member 20 to move out of the vehicle, thereby facilitating the taking and placing of the traffic cone.

[0056] Further, the receiving groove 12 can be configured to have a surface adapted to the structure of the traffic cone cone body, so as to facilitate the placement of the traffic cone cone body in the receiving groove 12 and improve the stability of the traffic cone lying.

[0057] Further, a plurality of receiving grooves 12 can be arranged on the support 10. It can be understood that the receiving grooves 12 extend in the first direction, and the plurality of receiving grooves 12 can be arranged perpendicular to the first direction, so that the plurality of receiving grooves 12 are arranged side by side. In application, the plurality of receiving grooves 12 can accommodate a plurality of traffic cones respectively, and the plurality of traffic cones can be pushed out of the vehicle by the pushing assembly 100; or the plurality of traffic cones can be collectively pushed into the vehicle by the pushing assembly 100, thereby improving the stability of the traffic cone during the retracting and retracting operation.

[0059] Optionally, the third direction can be the same as the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction; it can be understood that when the traffic cones are pushed out, the support 10 can be automatically pushed out step by step along the third direction, so that the traffic cones supported on the accommodation groove 12 of the support 10 can be pushed out one by one, facilitating the placement of the traffic cones, and the first driving member 20 and the locking assembly 30 provided at both ends of the support 10 can further improve the stability of the pushing assembly 100, so that the pushing assembly 100 can stably walk to push out the traffic cones one by one, facilitating the placement of the traffic cones.

[0060] Optionally, the third direction can be perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction; it can be understood that when the traffic cones are pushed out, the support 10 can be automatically pushed out step by step along the first direction, wherein in the first direction, a plurality of traffic cones can be stacked in a row, in other words, in the third direction, a plurality of accommodation grooves 12 can be provided, so that the first traffic cone of the plurality of traffic cones can be placed on the accommodation groove 12, and the support 10 is driven by the first driving member 20 to move along the first direction, so that the plurality of traffic cones can be pushed out one by one, facilitating the taking out of the plurality of traffic cones and improving the work efficiency.

[0066] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of positioning portions 211 can be arranged on the box 200.

[0067] The plurality of positioning portions 211 can be arranged in the first direction, and the locking assembly 30 is adapted to cooperate with a part of the plurality of positioning portions 211 to lock the second part 22 to realize the automatic walking movement of pushing, and facilitate the pushing of the traffic cones one by one.

It can be understood that the box body 200 can be divided into a plurality of receiving spaces 300 by the plurality of bottom plates 210, each receiving space 300 can accommodate a traffic cone, so as to greatly improve the space utilization of the box body 200, and at the same time, during operation, the traffic cones in part of the receiving spaces 300 can be pushed out as needed, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0077] In addition, the spacing between adjacent bottom plates 210 can be set according to the size of the traffic cone, so that the traffic cone is limited by the bottom plate 210, and the traffic cone is prevented from being scattered when the vehicle shakes.

[0078] In some specific examples, the second direction can be the same as the up-down direction, in other words, the positioning portion 211 can be arranged on the bottom plate 210, and the locking tongue 32 is driven to extend and retract by the second driving member 31, so that the locking tongue 32 cooperates with the positioning portion 211 to lock and unlock the second portion 22.

[0079] As shown in Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the box body 200 can have a receiving and releasing end 212 suitable for the traffic cone to enter and exit, and in the projection of the receiving and releasing end 212 in the up-down direction, the end of the bottom plate 210 on the lower side extends beyond the end of the bottom plate 210 on the upper side. In this way, the structure collision of the traffic cone during receiving and releasing can be avoided.

[0080] In detail, the traffic cones can be taken or placed through the retractable end 212 of the box 200, and when the traffic cones on the lower bottom plate 210 are taken or placed, the cones will be hindered by the opposite upper bottom plate 210, for example, when a worker takes or places the traffic cones on the lower bottom plate 210, the head of the worker can be bumped by the opposite upper bottom plate 210; for another example, when a mechanical device takes or places the traffic cones on the lower bottom plate 210, the mechanical device will collide with the opposite upper bottom plate 210, and the loading and unloading conveying device 1000 will be damaged, at this time, in order to avoid the collision, the end of the lower bottom plate 210 can be extended to the end of the upper bottom plate 210, so as to facilitate the taking or placing of the traffic cones.

In addition, the bracket 10 can be provided with a receiving groove 12 at the top, so that the cone body of the traffic cone can be placed in the receiving groove 12.

[0092] Further, in the projection of the receiving and releasing end 212 of the box body 200, the lower end of the bottom plate 210 extends beyond the upper end of the bottom plate 210, so that a plurality of steps are formed in the downward direction, avoiding collision when the traffic cone is taken out or placed, and improving the safety of the traffic cone.

[0093] The present application provides a pushing assembly 100, wherein the pushing assembly 100 can be applied to a traffic cone automatic receiving and releasing vehicle, which is a special engineering vehicle for highway pavement maintenance and operation, and the traffic cone automatic receiving and releasing vehicle changes the manual distribution and recovery work into automatic equipment receiving and releasing, greatly reducing the safety risk of the operating personnel facing the passing vehicles at close range. The pushing assembly 100 is an important component of the traffic cone automatic receiving and releasing engineering vehicle.

[0094] The pushing assembly 100 in the present application has the following functions:

[0096] 2. Overall pushing and guiding function, that is, a layer of traffic cones is pushed out in the rear end direction of the box body 200 at a certain distance at a uniform speed in parallel, so as to facilitate the fixed-point clamping of the clamping mechanism;

[0097] 3. Overall pushing and guiding function, that is, a layer of traffic cones is pushed out in the front end direction of the box body 200 at a certain distance at a uniform speed in parallel, so as to facilitate the fixed-point clamping of the clamping mechanism;

[0098] 4. Anti-wear and noise reduction function, and the sharp noise caused by dry friction between steel is prevented, and plastic wheel rolling is used instead of sliding friction between steel;

[0099] 5. Convenient maintenance, no external crane or other tools are needed during maintenance, and the maintenance position of each part is close to the receiving and releasing end 212, and the weight of each part during replacement is not more than one kilogram;

[0100] 6. High cost performance, that is, its use performance is excellent, product is stable and reliable, and has long service life, and is not prone to failure, and has low cost and other characteristics.

[0101] Specifically, the present application comprises the following structure:

[0102] The box body 200 can be built and welded by rectangular pipes of different specifications and models, and has functions of supporting, limiting, guiding, storing, etc. for automatic folding and unfolding of the traffic cone.

[0103] The pushing assembly 100 is composed of a vertical air cylinder (i.e. the locking assembly 30), a horizontal air cylinder (i.e. the first driving member 20), a bracket 10, a roller 11, etc. The roller 11 is installed at the bottom of the bracket 10, and rolls in the guide groove of the bottom plate 210, so that the bottom of the bracket 10 is separated from the upper surface of the bottom plate 210, to avoid dry friction between the steel plates. Under the combined action of the locking assembly 30 and the first driving member 20, the bracket 10 and the whole layer of traffic cones are pushed to move integrally and step by step to the rear end of the box body 200.

[0104] The pipe protection chain is connected to the bracket 10 at one end and fixed to the bottom plate 210 at the other end. In the pushing assembly 100, the pipe protection chain is mainly used to protect the orderly movement of the air line pipe and the oil line pipe, to avoid pipeline failure.

[0105] The traffic cone: The traffic cone can be made according to the national standard requirements for different use scenarios. The traffic cones are arranged in layers and inverted in the compartment body, with the top end of the traffic cone facing the front end of the box body 200 and the base facing the rear end (i.e. the folding and unfolding end 212) of the box body 200.

[0106] The bottom plate 210 is welded to the top layer of the box body 200. The left ends of the plurality of bottom plates 210 are aligned, and the right ends are in a stepped shape to avoid interference when the traffic cones are taken out or put in. The plurality of bottom plates 210 can respectively have guide grooves, and the roller 11 can roll and shift in the guide groove, to reduce the resistance of the pushing assembly 100 and provide guiding, limiting and anti-shaking protection for the cone cylinder sliding. When the traffic cones are pushed out by the plug-in whole step pushing mode of the pushing assembly 100, the bottom of the plurality of bottom plates 210 is respectively provided with a latch hole. When the latch 32 is sent into the latch hole of the bottom plate 210, the first driving member 20 drives the bracket 10 to move, to realize the walking type automatic whole pushing function of the traffic cone engineering vehicle.

[0107] In some specific examples, the locking assembly 30 may include: a vertical cylinder, a vertical sleeve, and a vertical push rod. The vertical cylinder is screwed to the upper end of the vertical sleeve and connected to the vertical push rod. Under the extension and retraction of the vertical cylinder, the vertical push rod is driven to move up and down within the vertical sleeve to push the vertical push rod into the pin hole of the base plate 210. When the horizontal cylinder drives the horizontal push rod to move, the automatic overall ejection function of the traffic cone engineering vehicle is realized. The vertical sleeve is made of rectangular tube and welded to the front end of the horizontal push rod. It is mainly used to install the vertical cylinder, guide and limit the movement of the vertical push rod, and protect the vertical cylinder from radial force to extend its service life.

[0108] The vertical push rod is made of rectangular tube and connected to the vertical cylinder rod by a pin. Under the extension and retraction of the vertical cylinder, the vertical push rod moves up and down in the vertical sleeve to send the vertical push rod into the pin hole of the base plate 210. When the horizontal cylinder drives the horizontal push rod to move, the automatic overall pushing function of the traffic cone engineering vehicle is realized.

[0109] In some other specific examples, the first driving component 20 may include a horizontal push rod, a horizontal cylinder and a horizontal sleeve. The horizontal push rod is machined from a rectangular tube and connected to the horizontal cylinder rod by a pin. Under the extension and retraction of the horizontal cylinder, the horizontal push rod is driven to move horizontally within the horizontal sleeve to realize the automatic overall pushing function of the traffic cone engineering vehicle.

[0110] The horizontal cylinder is screwed to the front end of the bracket 10. The horizontal cylinder rod and the horizontal push rod are connected by a pin. Under the extension and retraction of the horizontal cylinder, the horizontal push rod moves in the horizontal sleeve to realize the automatic overall pushing function of the traffic cone engineering vehicle.

[0111] The horizontal sleeve is made of rectangular tube and welded to the front end of the bracket 10. It is mainly used to guide and limit the movement of the horizontal push rod and to protect the horizontal cylinder from radial force, thus extending its service life.

The upper end of support 10 has a row of semi-conical holes that match the outer surface of the bottom of the traffic cone cylinder. There are rollers 11 at the four corners of the bottom of support 10. The rollers 11 roll in the guide groove of the base plate 210, so that the bottom of support 10 is separated from the upper surface of the base plate 210 to avoid dry friction between the steel plates. Under the combined action of the vertical cylinder and the horizontal cylinder, the support 10 and the entire layer of traffic cone are pushed to the rear end seat of the box body 200 in an automatic stepping motion.

[0113] Roller 11: the roller 11 is installed at the bottom of the four corners of the support 10, and rolls in the guide groove of the bottom plate 210, so that the bottom of the support 10 is separated from the upper surface of the bottom plate 210, to avoid dry friction between the steel plates, and the depth of the roller 11 sinking into the bottom plate 210 is greater than the height of the traffic cone top and the upper layer of the bottom plate 210, to realize the anti-shaking function, that is, in the process of transportation and operation, when the box 200 shakes due to uneven road surface, the roller 11 of the pushing assembly 100 in the compartment body does not jump out of the groove, and the traffic cones are not placed randomly.

[0114] The application controls the depth of the guide groove of the bottom plate 210, the height of each layer in the box 200 and the structural size of the traffic cone base, so that in the process of transportation and operation, when the box 200 shakes due to uneven road surface, the roller 11 of the pushing assembly 100 in the compartment body does not jump out of the groove, and the traffic cones are not placed randomly, so that the equipment has an anti-shaking function.

[0115] Through careful design of the pushing assembly 100, the roller 11 is installed at the four corners of the bottom of the cone-shaped support, and rolls in the guide groove of the bottom plate 210, so that the bottom of the cone-shaped support is separated from the upper surface of the bottom plate 210, to avoid dry friction between the steel plates, and the pushing assembly 100 can be matched with the upper surface of the cone-shaped support and the base of the traffic cone; under the combined action of the locking assembly 30 and the first driving member 20, the support 10 and the whole layer of traffic cones are automatically pushed out as a whole and move step by step, that is, the whole layer of traffic cones is pushed out in parallel at a constant speed to a certain distance in the direction of the rear end of the box 200, to facilitate the taking and placing of the traffic cones, so that the equipment has the functions of whole pushing out and guiding.

[0116] Through careful design of the pushing assembly 100, the steel structure material is used to match the bottom plate 210 made of stainless steel, and there is relative movement between them, to prevent sharp noise caused by dry friction between steel, and plastic wheel rolling is used instead of sliding friction between steel, so that the equipment has the functions of anti-wear and noise reduction;
