Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an empty basket distribution rack, belonging to the field of automated logistics conveying technology. Background Technology

[0002] In existing material handling systems, some materials cannot be directly transported due to their shape, size, or other specifications, and instead need to be placed in corresponding empty baskets for transport. After the materials have been transported along with the empty baskets, the empty baskets need to be recycled. At the end of the recycling system, a distribution device is usually required to store and distribute the empty baskets.

[0003] Existing technology CN204777433U discloses an automatic fruit-turning and loading system and an empty basket conveyor line. The system involves placing a fruit-filled basket on the footplate of a fruit-loading conveyor belt, starting the first drive motor, and causing the basket to turn over. After turning to a certain angle, the control box stops the fruit-loading conveyor belt; simultaneously, the control box controls the operation of the fruit-loading conveyor belt and the belt conveyor itself, causing the fruit to turn at a uniform speed and be fed into a fruit hopper. When the basket reaches the belt conveyor, the control box stops the fruit-loading conveyor belt and starts the first drive motor, causing the worm gear reducer to rotate the fruit-loading conveyor belt back to a vertical position, preparing for the next reciprocating cycle.

[0004] Existing technologies only disclose the conveying of empty baskets. However, when applied to baggage transportation in airports, they are placed between two security screening machines. When a security screening machine malfunctions and needs repair, and the malfunctioning machine does not have the space for repair and cannot be moved, the only option is to move the distribution device to meet the repair space requirements. However, this is also very cumbersome. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a foldable empty basket distribution rack to expand the repair space. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an empty basket distribution rack that can be folded to expand the maintenance space and facilitate the work of maintenance personnel.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an empty basket distribution rack, comprising:

[0007] support;

[0008] The distribution assembly includes a conveyor frame, a folding frame, support legs, and two trays for conveying the empty baskets. The conveyor frame is arranged at an angle with its input end being a high end and mounted on the support. The output end of the conveyor frame is a low end and supported by the support legs. The two trays are mounted on both sides of the conveyor frame along the conveying direction. The folding frame is rotatably connected to the output end of the conveyor frame via a rotating connector.

[0009] Two sets of parallel support components are provided. Each support component includes a support rod, a first slide, a second slide, and two locking members. The first slide is slidably connected to the folding frame, and the second slide is slidably connected to the support leg. The two ends of the support rod are rotatably connected to the first slide and the second slide. The two locking members can correspondingly lock the first slide and the second slide to the folding frame and the support leg, respectively.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: During operation, the conveyor frame and the folding frame are located on the same plane. The first slide and the second slide can be locked onto the folding frame and the support leg respectively by locking components. The two ends of the support rod are connected to the first slide and the second slide to support the folding frame. The empty basket slides down the tray onto the folding frame. When maintenance is required on the equipment surrounding the dispensing device, the locking components are unlocked, and the first slide and the second slide move simultaneously, which can reduce the range of movement of the support rod. After the folding frame is bent, it can provide a larger maintenance space for maintenance personnel without the need for overall movement, thus improving maintenance efficiency.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0012] Furthermore, the distribution component also includes a first baffle, which is mounted on the folding frame corresponding to the output end of the conveyor frame. The first baffle can rotate when the folding frame is bent to prevent the empty basket from sliding off the conveyor frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: when empty baskets are being transported, the first baffle is located below the output port of the pallet and will not obstruct the empty baskets; when space needs to be made for maintenance personnel, the locking device is unlocked, and the first slide and the second slide move simultaneously to bend the folding frame. The first baffle rotates with the folding frame to prevent empty baskets that are accidentally pushed onto the pallet and to prevent them from injuring workers.

[0014] Furthermore, the distribution assembly also includes a second baffle fixed to the end of the folding frame away from the conveyor frame to prevent the empty basket from slipping off the folding frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the distribution assembly also includes a skid plate mounted on the folding frame to decelerate the empty basket as it slides onto the folding frame.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that after the empty basket slides down the pallet onto the folding frame, it is slowed down by the anti-slip plate and finally blocked by the second baffle. The worker can then remove the empty basket. The anti-slip plate and the second baffle prevent the empty basket from falling out of the folding frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the rotating connector includes a hinge and a gas spring. The folding frame is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame via the hinge. One end of the gas spring is rotatably connected to the folding frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame.

[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the gas spring has a buffering and damping effect, which can provide resistance when the folding frame bends downward, slow down the bending speed of the folding frame, and prevent workers from being injured.

[0019] Furthermore, the locking component includes an eccentric handle and a connecting rod. The folding frame has a connecting groove along the conveying direction, and the opening of the connecting groove narrows inward. The first slide has a through hole corresponding to the connecting groove. One end of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the connecting groove, and the other end passes through the through hole and is connected to the eccentric handle.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that one end of the connecting rod that is slidably connected in the connecting groove expands. Due to the narrowing of the groove opening, the connecting rod can slide along the connecting groove but cannot be pulled out from the groove opening. After the position of the first slide is positioned, the eccentric handle is rotated, and the eccentric handle locks the first slide onto the support leg.

[0021] Furthermore, the distribution component also includes two guardrails symmetrically installed on both sides of the conveyor frame. Each guardrail includes two connecting frames, a guardrail plate, and a positioning element. The conveyor frame has a slid groove along the conveying direction. The two connecting frames are slidably connected to the slid groove. The guardrail plate is fixed to the two connecting frames. The positioning element is detachably positioned on the slid groove and can abut against the connecting frame to prevent it from slipping.

[0022] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a slider and a locking bolt. The groove opening narrows inward. The slider is slidably connected in the groove and has a threaded hole corresponding to the groove opening. The locking bolt is screwed into the threaded hole so that its nut and the slider are clamped on the groove. The locking bolt can abut against the connecting bracket to prevent it from slipping off.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: adjusting the position of the slider on the slide groove, rotating the locking bolt, the nut of the locking bolt and the slider are clamped in the slide groove to fix the locking bolt, and the locking bolt abuts against the connecting frame to prevent it from slipping off.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a support platform, a first track, a second track, and multiple pulleys. The support platform is arranged on the ground corresponding to the support leg. The first track and the second track are both perpendicular to the conveying direction and are respectively fixed to the bracket and the support platform. The multiple pulleys are respectively installed on the high end of the conveying frame and the support leg corresponding to the first track and the second track.

[0025] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the space created by bending the folding frame is still insufficient for staff maintenance, the distribution component can be pushed along the first track direction to move the whole unit to provide more maintenance space.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a pin assembly, which includes a connecting plate and a fixing pin. The connecting plate is fixed on the conveyor frame and has a connecting hole. The bracket has a pin hole corresponding to the connecting hole. The fixing pin passes through the connecting hole and the pin hole to prevent the conveyor frame from sliding on the first track.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0039] The purpose of this invention is to provide an empty basket distribution rack to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It can be folded to expand the maintenance space and facilitate the work of maintenance personnel.

[0040] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] This invention provides an empty basket distribution rack, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, the assembly includes: a support frame 1, a distribution component 2, and two sets of parallel support components 3. The distribution component 2 includes a conveyor frame 21, a folding frame 22, support legs 23, and two trays 24 for conveying empty baskets. The conveyor frame 21 is inclined and its input end is high and mounted on the support frame 1. The output end of the conveyor frame 21 is low and supported by the support legs 23. The two trays 24 are mounted on both sides of the conveyor frame 21 along the conveying direction. The folding frame 22 is rotatably connected to the output end of the conveyor frame 21 through a rotating connector 4. The support component 3 includes a support rod 31, a first slide 32, a second slide 33, and two locking members 34. The first slide 32 is slidably connected to the folding frame 22, and the second slide 33 is slidably connected to the support legs 23. The two ends of the support rod 31 are rotatably connected to the first slide 32 and the second slide 33. The two locking members 34 can correspondingly lock the first slide 32 and the second slide 33 to the folding frame 22 and the support legs 23, respectively.

[0042] The empty basket distribution rack provided by this invention has the conveyor frame 21 and the folding frame 22 located on the same plane during operation. The first slide 32 and the second slide 33 can be locked to the folding frame 22 and the support leg 23 respectively by the locking member 34. The two ends of the support rod 31 are connected to the first slide 32 and the second slide 33 to support the folding frame 22. The empty basket slides down the tray 24 onto the folding frame 22. When the security inspection machine around the distribution rack needs to be repaired, the locking member 34 is unlocked, and the first slide 32 and the second slide 33 move simultaneously, which can reduce the range of movement of the support rod 31. After the folding frame 22 is bent, it can provide a larger maintenance space for maintenance personnel without the need for overall movement, thus improving maintenance efficiency.

[0043] Preferably, the conveyor frame 21, the folding frame 22 and the support leg 23 are made of aluminum profiles.

[0044] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing component 2 further includes a first baffle 25. The first baffle 25 is mounted on the folding frame 22 at the output end of the conveyor frame 21. The first baffle 25 can rotate when the folding frame 22 is bent to prevent the empty basket from sliding off the conveyor frame 21.

[0045] When empty baskets are being transported, the first baffle 25 is located below the output port of the pallet 24 and will not obstruct the empty baskets. When space needs to be made for maintenance personnel, the locking device 34 is unlocked, and the first slide 32 and the second slide 33 move simultaneously to bend the folding frame 22. The first baffle 25 rotates with the folding frame 22 to prevent empty baskets from being accidentally pushed onto the pallet 24 and to prevent them from injuring workers.

[0046] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing component 2 further includes a second baffle 26, which is fixed to the end of the folding frame 22 away from the conveying frame 21 to prevent the empty basket from slipping off the folding frame 22.

[0047] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing component 2 further includes an anti-slip plate 27, which is mounted on the folding frame 22 to decelerate the empty basket that slides into the folding frame 22.

[0048] After the empty basket slides down the pallet 24 onto the folding frame 22, it is slowed down by the anti-slip plate 27 and finally blocked by the second baffle 26. The worker removes the empty basket. The anti-slip plate 27 and the second baffle 26 prevent the empty basket from rushing out of the folding frame 22.

[0049] The surface of the anti-slip plate is covered with an anti-slip rubber layer, which is made of a soft material.

[0050] Preferably, it also includes a first detection bracket and a first detection sensor. The first detection bracket is installed on the folding frame 22, and the first detection sensor is installed on the first detection bracket to detect whether there is an empty basket on the folding frame 22. If there is no empty basket, it can be bent.

[0051] Preferably, it also includes a second detection bracket and a second detection sensor. The second detection bracket is installed on the conveyor frame 21, and the second detection sensor is installed on the second detection bracket to detect the radiation emitted by the conveyor frame 21. If the radiation is blocked by the first baffle 25, it means that the folding frame 22 has been bent downward. Then the second detection sensor sends a signal to the empty basket recycling system. After receiving the signal, the empty basket recycling system will no longer transport the empty basket to the conveyor frame 21.

[0052] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the rotating connector 4 includes a hinge 41 and a gas spring 42. The folding frame 22 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 21 via the hinge 41. One end of the gas spring 42 is rotatably connected to the folding frame 22, and the other end is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 21.

[0053] The gas spring 42 has a buffering and damping effect, which can provide resistance when the folding frame 22 bends downward, slowing down the bending speed of the folding frame 22 and preventing workers from being injured.

[0054] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the locking member 34 includes an eccentric handle 341 and a connecting rod 342. The folding frame 22 has a connecting groove along the conveying direction. The opening of the connecting groove narrows inward. The first slide block 32 has a through hole corresponding to the connecting groove. One end of the connecting rod 342 is slidably connected to the connecting groove, and the other end passes through the through hole and is connected to the eccentric handle 341.

[0055] One end of the connecting rod 342, which is slidably connected in the connecting groove, expands. As the opening of the connecting groove narrows, the connecting rod 342 can slide along the connecting groove but cannot be pulled out from the opening of the connecting groove. After the position of the first slide block 32 is positioned, the eccentric handle 341 is rotated, and the eccentric handle 341 locks the first slide block 32 onto the support leg 23.

[0056] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the distribution component 2 further includes two guardrails 28 symmetrically installed on both sides of the conveyor frame 21. The guardrails 28 include two connecting frames 281, a guardrail 282 and a positioning member 283. The conveyor frame 21 has a slide groove 11 along the conveying direction. The two connecting frames 281 are slidably connected to the slide groove 11. The guardrail 282 is fixed to the two connecting frames 281. The positioning member 283 is detachably positioned on the slide groove 11 and can abut against the connecting frame 281 to prevent it from slipping.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the positioning component 283 includes a slider 2831 and a locking bolt 2832. The groove of the slide 11 narrows inward. The slider 2831 is slidably connected in the slide 11 and has a threaded hole corresponding to the groove. The locking bolt 2832 is screwed into the threaded hole so that its nut and the slider 2831 are clamped on the slide 11. The locking bolt 2832 can abut against the connecting bracket 281 to prevent it from slipping off.

[0058] Adjust the position of slider 2831 on slide groove 11, rotate locking bolt 2832, the nut of locking bolt 2832 and slider 2831 are clamped in slide groove 11 to fix locking bolt 2832, locking bolt 2832 abuts against connecting bracket 281 to prevent it from slipping.

[0059] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a support platform 6, a first track 7, a second track 8, and a plurality of pulleys 9. The support platform 6 is arranged on the ground corresponding to the support leg 23. The first track 7 and the second track 8 are both perpendicular to the conveying direction and are fixed on the bracket 1 and the support platform 6 respectively. The plurality of pulleys 9 are respectively installed on the high end of the conveying frame 21 and the support leg 23 corresponding to the first track 7 and the second track 8.

[0060] If the space created by bending the folding frame 22 is still insufficient for staff maintenance, the dispensing component 2 is pushed along the first track 7 to move the entire assembly and provide more maintenance space.

[0061] Preferably, it also includes a track cover plate 10, which is detachably mounted on the second track 8 between the two pulleys 9 to restrict the movement of the support leg 23. When it is necessary to move the distribution component 2, the track cover plate 10 is removed, and the pulleys 9 can move along the second track 8.

[0062] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, a pin assembly 5 is also included. The pin assembly 5 includes a connecting plate 51 and a fixing pin 52. The connecting plate 51 is fixed on the conveyor frame 21 and has a connecting hole. The bracket 1 has a pin hole corresponding to the connecting hole. The fixing pin 52 passes through the connecting hole and the pin hole to prevent the conveyor frame 21 from sliding on the first track 7.

[0063] Example 1

[0064] When faulty equipment around the empty basket distribution rack needs repair and there is insufficient repair space, the empty basket distribution rack can be folded to meet the repair space requirements.

[0065] The faulty equipment transmits a fault signal to the empty basket recycling system and a maintenance signal to the maintenance personnel. When the empty basket recycling system receives the fault signal, it stops conveying empty baskets to the conveyor rack 21. At this time, the first detection sensor transmits information about whether there are empty baskets on the folding rack 22 to the maintenance personnel. When the maintenance personnel confirm that there are no empty baskets, they release the eccentric handle 341. The gas spring 42 has a buffering and damping effect on the downward rotation of the folding rack, causing it to bend slowly to ensure the safety of the maintenance personnel. At this time, a slight downward force is applied to the second slide 33 to fold the folding rack 22. The folding rack 22 will rotate downward with the hinge 41 as the rotation point. The gas spring 42 is slowly compressed by the compression force. The first baffle 25 rotates with the folding rack 22. When the folding rack 22 is folded into place, the eccentric handle 341 is locked. At this time, the first baffle 25 is in normal working condition after rotation, which can effectively prevent the accidental pushing of empty baskets. Furthermore, when the second detection sensor detects that the first safety baffle 25 is working, it sends a maintenance signal to the empty basket recycling system again. After receiving the fault signal, the empty basket recycling system stops sending empty baskets to the empty basket distribution rack and completes the folding function of the empty basket distribution rack.

[0066] After the faulty equipment is repaired, the eccentric handle 341 is released, and the maintenance personnel lift the folding frame 22 upward. The folding frame 22 rotates upward with the hinge 41 as the rotation point. The gas spring 42 is slowly stretched by the tension force, and the first baffle 25 rotates with the folding frame 22. When the folding frame 22 returns to its original position, the eccentric handle 341 is locked. At this time, the first baffle 25 is rotated and is below the tray 24. When the second detection sensor detects that the first baffle 25 is below the tray 24, it sends this recovery signal to the empty basket recycling system. After receiving the recovery signal, the empty basket recycling system combines it with the signal to determine whether to transport the empty basket to the empty basket distribution rack. At this time, the recovery of the empty basket distribution rack is completed.

[0067] Example 2:

[0068] When faulty equipment around the empty basket distribution rack needs repair and there is insufficient repair space, the empty basket distribution rack can be moved laterally to meet the repair space requirements.

[0069] The faulty equipment transmits a fault signal to the empty basket recycling system and a maintenance signal to the maintenance personnel. When the empty basket recycling system receives the fault signal, it stops conveying empty baskets to the conveyor rack 21. At this time, the first detection sensor transmits information about whether there are empty baskets on the folding rack 22 to the maintenance personnel. When the maintenance personnel confirm that there are no empty baskets, they remove the fixing pin 52, then remove the track cover plate 10 and release the brake of the pulley 9. At this time, the maintenance personnel can push the empty basket distribution rack left and right. The pulley 9 moves along the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 8. When it moves to the correct position, the pulley 9 is locked, thus completing the lateral movement of the empty basket distribution rack.

[0070] After the faulty equipment is repaired, release the brake on pulley 9. At this time, the maintenance personnel can push the empty basket distribution rack back to its original position. Pulley 9 rolls along the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 8. When it is back in place, lock pulley 9 and lock the fixing pin 52. At this time, the restoration of the empty basket distribution rack is completed.

[0071] Example 3:

[0072] When faulty equipment around the empty basket distribution rack needs repair and there is insufficient repair space, the empty basket distribution rack needs to be folded and moved laterally to meet the repair space requirements.

[0073] The faulty equipment transmits a fault signal to the empty basket recycling system and a maintenance signal to the maintenance personnel. When the empty basket recycling system receives the fault signal, it stops conveying empty baskets to the conveyor rack 21. At this time, the first detection sensor transmits information about whether there are empty baskets on the folding rack 22 to the maintenance personnel. When the maintenance personnel confirm that there are no empty baskets, they release the eccentric handle 341. The gas spring 42 has a buffering and damping effect on the downward rotation of the folding rack, causing it to bend slowly to ensure the safety of the maintenance personnel. At this time, a slight downward force is applied to the second slide 33 to fold the folding rack 22. The folding rack 22 will rotate downward with the hinge 41 as the rotation point. The gas spring 42 is slowly compressed by the compression force. The first baffle 25 rotates with the folding rack 22. When the folding rack 22 is folded into place, the eccentric handle 341 is locked. At this time, the first baffle 25 is in normal working condition after rotation, which can effectively prevent the accidental pushing of empty baskets. Furthermore, the second detection sensor, upon detecting that the first safety baffle 25 is in operation, sends a maintenance signal to the empty basket recycling system again. Upon receiving the fault signal, the empty basket recycling system stops conveying empty baskets to the empty basket distribution rack, thus completing the folding function of the empty basket distribution rack. When maintenance personnel confirm there are no empty baskets, they remove the fixing pin 52, then remove the track cover 10, and release the brake on the pulley 9. At this point, maintenance personnel can push the empty basket distribution rack left and right, and the pulley 9 moves along the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 8. Once the lateral movement is complete, the pulley 9 is locked, thus completing the lateral movement of the empty basket distribution rack.

[0074] After the faulty equipment is repaired, release the eccentric handle 341. The repair personnel lift the folding frame 22 upwards. The folding frame 22 rotates upwards around the hinge 41. The gas spring 42 is slowly stretched by the tension force, and the first baffle 25 rotates with the folding frame 22. When the folding frame 22 returns to its original position, lock the eccentric handle 341. At this time, the first baffle 25 is rotated and located below the support plate 24. When the second detection sensor detects that the first baffle 25 is below the support plate 24, it sends this recovery signal to the empty basket recycling system. After receiving the recovery signal, the empty basket recycling system combines it with the signal to determine whether to transport the empty basket to the empty basket distribution rack. At this time, the recovery of the empty basket distribution rack is completed. Release the brake of the pulley 9. At this time, the repair personnel can push the empty basket distribution rack back to its original position. The pulley 9 rolls along the first guide rail 1 and the second guide rail 8. When it returns to its original position, lock the pulley 9 and lock the fixing pin 52. At this time, the recovery of the empty basket distribution rack is completed.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
