Description

Technical Field

[0002] A container unloading device generally refers to a container gantry mobile unloading device, which is used in railways, docks or container transshipment centers. According to different application scenarios, the size, movement method and lifting tonnage of the container gantry mobile unloading device are different. Generally, the way the gantry unloading device lifts the container depends on the tonnage of the container. Lighter containers are lifted from the top and heavier containers are lifted from the bottom. However, the lifting holes of the container often deform or rust after a long period of lifting work, making the connection of the lifting and fixing part unstable, which is easy to cause danger during the lifting process. For containers with larger tonnage, after the sling is lowered, due to the wind speed in the on-site environment, the shaking of the lifting platform and other reasons, the sling cannot be automatically fixed with the lifting holes at the bottom of the container, and manual assistance is required on site, which poses hidden risks to the personal safety of the operators and is very inconvenient to use.

The end of the flower-shaped transmission wheel away from the torque wheel is connected to the main motor. When lifting, the flower-shaped transmission wheel squeezes the inner slider, and the inner slider squeezes the torque wheel through a return spring, and the torque wheel drives the upper worm gear to rotate. As the lower layer of lifting rope is tightened, the bearing capacity of the upper capstan increases, and the transmission load of the upper worm gear increases until the inner slider is squeezed into the torque wheel by the flower-shaped transmission wheel, and the inner slider squeezes the connecting sliding column, and the connecting sliding column moves toward the direction of the idle gear until the engaging teeth are engaged with the radial slot, and the torque wheel drives the idle gear to rotate, and the idle gear drives the driven gear to rotate, and the driven gear drives the lower capstan to rotate through the lower worm gear, that is, the lower layer of lifting rope and the upper layer of lifting rope are wound up at the same time to lift the container.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of inner sliding blocks are slidingly arranged in the torque wheel, and the plurality of inner sliding blocks are evenly distributed in a ring shape, and a return spring is arranged between each inner sliding block and the torque wheel, and a connecting sliding column is arranged on one side of the torque wheel corresponding to each inner sliding block, and a return spring is also arranged between each connecting sliding column and the inside of the torque wheel, and a slope is arranged on the end of the connecting sliding column close to the inner sliding block. During the hoisting stage, through the setting of the torque wheel, the lower lifting cable is linked to the upper lifting cable and tightened at the same time after being tightened, and the container is hoisted upward through the upper hoisting card hole and the lower hoisting card hole at the same time, so that the hoisting force is more uniform, and even if some of the lifting card holes of the container are rusted and damaged, the hoisting can still be continued, and the hoisting process is smoother.

Since there is no hanging object on the support device at this time, the transmission load of the upper worm gear increases less, so the flower-shaped transmission wheel does not need to squeeze the inner slider into the torque wheel to drive the torque wheel to rotate, the engaging tooth and the radial groove cannot be engaged together, and the rotation of the lower worm gear and the rotation of the upper worm gear will not interfere with each other. After all the support devices are retracted, the control system energizes the first electromagnet to suck the self-locking pin into the telescopic arm, and the auxiliary motor drives the lower capstan to rotate through the lower worm gear to retract the upper sling. After the boom mounting platform is lifted, the first electromagnet is powered off, and the self-locking pin pops out and resets.

Even if some of the container lifting holes are rusted and damaged, the hoisting can still be carried out, and the hoisting process is more stable.

[0015] 2. The magnetic wheel uses magnetic attraction to make the supporter move along the edge of the container, effectively preventing the supporter from shaking during the descent, so that the unloading device can be operated on a shaking platform. The magnetic wheel is used to automatically move and position the supporter, eliminating the need for manual connection and fixation of the lifting holes under the container, making it more convenient and flexible in a narrow operating space.

After the boom mounting platform 4 is partially buckled with the container, the auxiliary motor 19 stops working, and the upper sling 8 Stop lowering, the main motor 20 continues to drive the upper winch 27 to rotate, and the lower sling 11 continues to be lowered downward. When the self-locking pin 6 is buckled into the lifting hole of the container, the inner right-angle grooves of the four supports 9 are also aligned with the four edges of the container. As the lower sling 11 is lowered, the supports 9 descend along the edge of the container, and the magnetic wheels 14 use magnetic attraction to make the supports 9 move along the edge of the container, effectively preventing the supports 9 from shaking during the descent, so that the unloading device can be operated on a shaking platform.

[0031] There are two sliding holes on the supporter 9, and a through groove is provided at the position of the supporter 9 corresponding to the sliding hole. A limiting wheel 12 is rotatably installed in the through groove, and a straight hook 10 is slidably installed in the sliding hole. A spring 13 is connected between the straight hook 10 and the supporter 9. A round hole is provided in the middle of each straight hook 10, and the lower sling 11 passes through the round hole of the straight hook 10. When the supporter 9 moves to the lifting hole at the bottom of the container, the main motor 20 stops working, and the lower sling 11 stops descending. The control system controls the second electromagnet to be energized, and the supporter 9 is adsorbed on the container by strong magnetic force. The main motor 20 starts to reverse. Since the friction between the supporter 9 and the container is large after adsorption, the supporter 9 cannot be pulled to move when the lower sling 11 starts to be wound.

[0032] The power assembly includes an upper worm 16 and a lower worm 18, the upper worm 16 is meshedly connected with the upper worm wheel 15, the lower worm 18 is meshedly connected with the lower worm wheel 17, one end of the upper worm 16 is coaxially connected with a torque wheel 23, one end of the lower worm wheel 17 is coaxially connected with a driven gear 21, an idler gear 22 is arranged on the connecting shaft between the upper worm 16 and the torque wheel 23, the idler gear 22 is meshedly transmitted with the driven gear 21, an auxiliary motor 19 is connected to the side of the driven gear 21 away from the lower worm wheel 17, the auxiliary motor 19 is connected to the control system circuit, a flower-shaped groove is provided on the side of the torque wheel 23 away from the upper worm 16, a flower-shaped transmission wheel 24 is arranged in the flower-shaped groove, and a main motor 20 is connected to the end of the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24 away from the torque wheel 23, as the lower sling 11 is tightened and straightened, the lower sling 11 enables the straight hook 10 to overcome the pulling force of the spring 13 and push outward, and the straight hook 10 extends into the lifting card hole at the bottom of the container , the straight hook 10 holds the bottom of the container. At this time, the top of the container is buckled by the telescopic arm 5, and the bottom of the container is connected by the guide 9. When lifting, the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24 squeezes the inner slider 25, and the inner slider 25 squeezes the torque wheel 23 through the return spring. The torque wheel 23 drives the upper worm 16 to rotate. As the lower sling 11 is tightened, the bearing capacity of the upper capstan 27 increases, and the transmission load of the upper worm 16 increases, until the inner slider 25 is squeezed into the torque wheel 23 by the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24, the inner slider 25 squeezes the connecting slide column 26, and the connecting slide column 26 moves toward the idler gear 22 until the engaging teeth are engaged with the radial grooves, and the torque wheel 23 drives the idler gear 22 to rotate, and the idler gear 22 drives the driven gear 21 to rotate, and the driven gear 21 drives the lower capstan 28 to rotate through the lower worm 18, that is, the lower sling 11 and the upper sling 8 are wound up at the same time to lift the container.

[0033] A plurality of inner sliders 25 are slidably arranged in the torque wheel 23, and the plurality of inner sliders 25 are evenly distributed in a ring shape. A return spring (not shown in the figure) is arranged between each inner slider 25 and the torque wheel 23.

During the hoisting stage, the torque wheel 23 is set, and the lower sling 11 is tightened and then linked to the upper sling 8 and tightened at the same time. The container is lifted upward through the upper and lower lifting holes at the same time, so that the lifting force is more uniform. Even if some of the lifting holes of the container are rusted and damaged, the lifting can still be continued, and the lifting process is more stable. The magnetic wheel 14 is used to automatically move and position the support device 9, eliminating the need for manual connection and fixation of the lifting holes below the container, which is more convenient and flexible in a narrow operating space.

[0034] When the container is hoisted to the destination, the second electromagnet is powered off, and the main motor 20 first drives the upper capstan 27 to loosen the lower sling 11, and the straight hook 10 is retracted under the pulling force of the spring 13, and then the upper capstan 27 is used to loosen the lower sling 11 for recovery. Since there is no hanging object on the support device 9 at this time, the transmission load of the upper worm 16 increases less, so the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24 does not need to squeeze the inner slider 25 into the torque wheel 23 to drive the torque wheel 23 to rotate, the interlocking teeth and the radial grooves cannot be engaged together, and the rotation of the lower worm 18 and the rotation of the upper worm 16 will not interfere. After all the support devices 9 are retracted, the control system energizes the first electromagnet to suck the self-locking pin 6 into the telescopic arm 5, and the auxiliary motor 19 drives the lower capstan 28 to rotate through the lower worm 18 to retract the upper sling 8. After the boom mounting platform 4 is lifted, the first electromagnet is powered off, and the self-locking pin 6 pops out and resets.

[0035] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the operator assumes that the lifting device is lifting and transporting the container, and moves the unloading device to the top of the container. The control system controls the auxiliary motor 19 and the main motor 20 to work simultaneously. The auxiliary motor 19 drives the lower worm wheel 17 to rotate through the lower worm 18, and the lower worm wheel 17 drives the lower winch 28 to rotate. The main motor 20 drives the torque wheel 23 to rotate through the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24. The torque wheel 23 drives the upper worm wheel 15 to rotate through the upper worm 16, and the upper worm wheel 15 drives the upper winch 27 to rotate. The upper sling 8 and the lower sling 11 are lowered simultaneously, so that the boom mounting platform 4 and the support device 9 are lowered simultaneously.

[0036] According to the length of the container to be hoisted, the control system controls the hydraulic system in the boom mounting platform 4 to extend the two telescopic arms 5 outward until the self-locking latch 6 is aligned with the hoisting position of the container, the boom mounting platform 4 continues to descend, the self-locking latch 6 contacts the hoisting latch hole of the container, the self-locking latch 6 first retracts into the inside of the telescopic arm 5, and then bounces into the latch hole under the action of the thrust spring, so that the telescopic arm 5 is buckled with the upper part of the container. After the boom mounting platform 4 is partially buckled with the container, the auxiliary motor 19 stops working, and the upper sling 8 Stop lowering, the main motor 20 continues to drive the upper winch 27 to rotate, and the lower sling 11 continues to be lowered downward. When the self-locking pin 6 is buckled into the lifting hole of the container, the inner right-angle grooves of the four supports 9 are also aligned with the four edges of the container. As the lower sling 11 is lowered, the supports 9 descend along the edge of the container, and the magnetic wheels 14 use magnetic attraction to make the supports 9 move along the edge of the container, effectively preventing the supports 9 from shaking during the descent, so that the unloading device can be operated on a shaking platform.

[0037] When the support 9 moves to the lifting hole at the bottom of the container, the main motor 20 stops working, the lower sling 11 stops descending, the control system controls the second electromagnet to be energized, and the support 9 is adsorbed on the container by strong magnetic force, and the main motor 20 starts to reverse. Since the friction between the support 9 and the container is large after being adsorbed, the lower sling 11 cannot pull the support 9 to move when it starts to reel. As the lower sling 11 is tightened and straightened, the lower sling 11 enables the straight hook 10 to overcome the pulling force of the spring 13 and push outward, and the straight hook 10 extends into the lifting hole at the bottom of the container. The straight hook 10 supports the bottom of the container. At this time, the top of the container is buckled by the telescopic arm 5, and the bottom of the container is connected by the support 9. When lifting, the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24 squeezes the inner slider 25, and the inner slider 25 squeezes the torque wheel 23 through the return spring, and the torque wheel 23 drives the upper worm 16 to rotate. As the lower sling 11 is tightened, the bearing capacity of the upper capstan 27 increases, and the transmission load of the upper worm 16 increases, until the inner slider 25 is squeezed into the torque wheel 23 by the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24, and the inner slider 25 squeezes the connecting slide column 26, and the connecting slide column 26 moves toward the idler gear 22 until the engaging teeth are engaged with the radial grooves, and the torque wheel 23 drives the idler gear 22 to rotate, and the idler gear 22 drives the driven gear 21 to rotate, and the driven gear 21 drives the lower capstan 28 to rotate through the lower worm 18, that is, the lower sling 11 and the upper sling 8 are wound up at the same time to lift the container.

[0038] During the hoisting stage, through the setting of the torque wheel 23, the lower sling 11 is tightened and then linked to the upper sling 8 and tightened at the same time, and the container is lifted upward through the upper and lower hoisting holes at the same time, so that the hoisting force is more uniform, and even if some of the container hoisting holes are rusted and damaged, the hoisting can still be carried out, and the hoisting process is smoother. The magnetic wheel 14 is used to automatically move and position the support device 9, eliminating the need for manual connection and fixation of the hoisting holes below the container, which is more convenient and flexible in a narrow operating space.

[0039] When the container is hoisted to the destination, the second electromagnet is powered off, and the main motor 20 first drives the upper capstan 27 to loosen the lower sling 11, and the straight hook 10 is retracted under the pulling force of the spring 13, and then the upper capstan 27 is used to loosen the lower sling 11 for recovery. Since there is no hanging object on the support device 9 at this time, the transmission load of the upper worm 16 increases less, so the flower-shaped transmission wheel 24 does not need to squeeze the inner slider 25 into the torque wheel 23 to drive the torque wheel 23 to rotate, the interlocking teeth and the radial grooves cannot be engaged together, and the rotation of the lower worm 18 and the rotation of the upper worm 16 will not interfere. After all the support devices 9 are retracted, the control system energizes the first electromagnet to suck the self-locking pin 6 into the telescopic arm 5, and the auxiliary motor 19 drives the lower capstan 28 to rotate through the lower worm 18 to retract the upper sling 8. After the boom mounting platform 4 is lifted, the first electromagnet is powered off, and the self-locking pin 6 pops out and resets.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
