Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, in the field of heat exchange, some heat exchangers are formed by stacking multiple plate-like parts. During the preparation process of this type of heat exchanger, different types of plate-like parts need to be stacked alternately. The plate-like part discharging equipment is an important production equipment. Currently, there is a device that uses a suction cup to suck the plate-like parts in the silo from the upper end of the silo. In some cases, when the plates are stacked, the two adjacent plate-like parts are tightly connected and difficult to separate due to factors such as extrusion during stacking. This will cause the suction cup to absorb an indefinite number of plates at a time, resulting in unqualified products in the final stack. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application arranges a clamping member and a material removing member between the feed end and the supporting member, and a portion of the plate-like members and the plate-like members above them are clamped and fixed relative to the hopper by the clamping member, and the plate-like members below the clamped plate-like members are separated from the clamped plate-like members by the material removing member, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of the plate-like member unloading quantity and improving the qualified rate of the final stacked products.

[0026] The following is a detailed description of the plate-like member unloading equipment in the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can complement or combine with each other. The "vertical direction" in this embodiment refers to the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, which can also be understood as the stacking direction of the plate-like members.

[0027] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 The first embodiment will be described in detail.

[0028] like Figure 1 The unloading device 100 includes a silo 1 and a supporting mechanism 2. The silo 1 includes a feed end 11 and a discharge end 12. When the equipment is in operation, the feed end 11 is located above the discharge end 12. The plate-like member enters the silo 1 from the feed end 11 and is output from the discharge port 121 of the discharge end 12 by its own gravity. The supporting mechanism 2 is located at the lower end of the silo 1. Further, the supporting mechanism 2 includes a supporting member 21. The supporting member 21 is arranged close to the discharge end 12, and the supporting member 21 can at least partially block the discharge port 121. Specifically, the supporting member 21 can reciprocate between a position close to the discharge port 121 and a position far away from the discharge port 121. When close to the discharge port 121, the supporting member 21 can support the plate-like member located at the discharge port 121; when far away from the discharge port 121, the discharge port 121 is not blocked by the supporting member 21, and the discharge port 121 is open, so that at least the plate-like member located at the bottom of the discharge port 121 is discharged from the discharge port 121.

[0029] like Figure 8 , the plate-like parts in some heat exchangers generally include a plate-like part and a flange part. The flange part is located at the periphery of the plate-like part, and the angle between the flange part and the plate-like part is an obtuse angle. After the plate-like parts are stacked, part of the flange part is blocked, but the outer wall of the upper half of the flange part is exposed. This structure makes it easy for the plate-like parts to be tightly connected and difficult to separate during the stacking process due to the gravity generated by the upper plate part. In order to ensure that only a specified number of plates fall when unloading, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2The unloading device 100 is provided with a clamping mechanism 3 and a separation mechanism 4. In the vertical direction, the clamping mechanism 3 is located between the supporting mechanism 2 and the discharging end 12. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping member. In the horizontal direction, the clamping member is located on opposite sides of the silo 1. The clamping member can reciprocate between positions close to and away from the silo 1. Specifically, the clamping member includes a first clamping member 31 and a second clamping member 33. In the horizontal direction, the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 are located on both sides of the silo 1. The first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 are located on opposite sides of the silo 1. The holding member 33 can approach or move away from the silo 1 at the same time. When the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 approach the silo, the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 abut against the flanged portions on opposite sides of a portion of the plate-like member, thereby clamping at least a portion of the plate-like member in the silo 1. Of course, for a plate-like member without a flanged portion or a plate-like member partially provided with a flanged portion, the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 can also abut against the side wall surfaces on opposite sides of the plate-like member, thereby clamping at least a portion of the plate-like member in the silo 1. Further, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a first power mechanism 32 (not shown in the figure), such as a cylinder, an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The first power mechanism 32 can drive the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 to move close to or away from the silo 1. Further, the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33 are provided with an abutment portion 311 on one side close to the silo 1. When the first power mechanism 32 drives the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33 to move close to the silo 1 until the abutment portion 311 abuts against the silo When stacking plate-like members, the first power mechanism 32 can provide a thrust toward the silo 1 to the abutment portion 311, so that the abutment portion 311 clamps the stacked plate-like members in the silo 1, and the clamped plate-like members and other plate-like members stacked above the plate-like members will not fall out of the discharge port 121 due to the support member 21 moving away from the discharge port 121. That is, combined with the design of the support member 21 moving back and forth between approaching and moving away from the discharge port 121, it can be achieved that each time the discharge port 121 is opened, only a predetermined number of plate-like members are output from the discharge port 121.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2, along the vertical direction, the material dividing mechanism 4 is located between the supporting mechanism 2 and the material discharging end 12, and the material dividing mechanism 4 includes a material discharging member 41, and the material discharging member 41 can reciprocate between approaching and moving away from the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33; specifically, the material discharging member 41 is arranged close to the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33, and the movement direction of the material discharging member 41 intersects with the horizontal plane, that is, the material discharging member 41 can reciprocate in the vertical direction, and can also reciprocate in an inclined direction at an acute angle to the horizontal plane. It can also be said that the movement direction of the material discharging member 41 is the same as or close to the extension direction of the flange portion of the plate-like member, and the material discharging member 41 abuts against the upper end surface of the flange portion and continues to move toward the side of the material discharging port, so that the material discharging member 41 peels off the plate-like member below the plate-like member clamped by the clamping member; In some embodiments, for a plate-like member without a flanging portion, the material-dividing member 41 reciprocates in the horizontal direction, and at least a portion of the material-dividing member 41 extends between the clamped plate-like member and the unclamped plate-like member below it, so that the two are separated; further, the material-dividing member 41 can first move a predetermined distance in the horizontal direction and then move a predetermined distance downward, and then push the unclamped plate-like member downward after at least a portion of the material-dividing member 41 is inserted and extended between the clamped plate-like member and the unclamped plate-like member below it, so that it falls off; or the material-dividing member 41 moves in an inclined direction with a small angle to the horizontal plane, that is, the free end of the material-dividing member 41 can be inserted between the clamped plate-like member and the unclamped plate-like member below it, and the unclamped plate-like member is pushed down as the stroke of the material-dividing member 41 continues. Combined with the movement of the supporting mechanism 2, it is achieved that at least one plate-like member is peeled off from the stacked materials and output from the discharge port 121 each time the discharge port 121 is opened.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The material dividing mechanism 4 includes a pushing member 42, which is arranged in contact with the material diverting member 41. The plane where the matching surfaces of the pushing member 42 and the material diverting member 41 are located is at an acute angle to the stacking direction of the plate-like members. The pushing member 42 can move in the horizontal direction. There is an interaction force between the pushing member 42 and the material diverting member 41. When the pushing member 42 moves toward one side of the silo 1 in the horizontal direction, the pushing member 42 pushes the material diverting member 41 to move. Since the contact surface between the two is an inclined surface, the pushing member 42 generates a vertical downward component force on the material diverting member 41, so that the material diverting member 41 moves away from the first clamping member in the vertical direction. When the material-dipping member 41 moves upward in the vertical direction, the material-dipping member 41 moves toward the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33 to achieve the reset of the material-dipping member 41. As the material-dipping member 41 moves upward, a horizontal component force is formed on the contact surface of the material-dipping member 41 which is away from the side of the silo 1. This component force causes the pushing member 42 to move toward the side away from the silo 1 to achieve the reset of the pushing member 42.

[0032] Furthermore, the material dividing mechanism 4 includes a reset member 45 and a second power mechanism 44 (not shown in the figure), such as a cylinder, an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The second power mechanism 44 acts on the pushing member 42, so that the pushing member 42 moves horizontally toward one side of the silo 1. One end of the reset member 45 is limitedly connected to the clamping mechanism 3, and the other end is limitedly connected to the material dispensing member 41. The reset member 45 can push the material dispensing member 41 to move along the stacking direction of the plate-like members toward the side of the feed end 11. Specifically, the reset member 45 is an elastic member 451, one end of the elastic member 451 abuts against the clamping mechanism 3, and the other end abuts against the material-pickup member 41. The elastic member 451 includes a compression process and a rebound process. When the second power mechanism 44 pushes the pushing member 42 to move the material-pickup member 41 toward the side of the discharge end 12, the elastic member 451 is in a compression process, and the elastic member 451 stores elastic potential energy. When the second power mechanism 44 stops providing thrust, the elastic member 451 is in a rebound process, and the elastic member 451 releases the elastic potential energy, providing a thrust toward one end of the feed end 11 to the material-pickup member 41, so that the material-pickup member 41 moves toward one end of the feed end 11 along the stacking direction of the plate-like members, thereby realizing the return action of the material-pickup member 41.

[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The material distribution mechanism 4 also includes a guide member 43, and the push member 42 and the guide member 43 are slidably matched. Specifically, the guide member 43 includes a first guide portion 431, and the first guide portion 431 extends perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plate-like members. Under the push of the second power mechanism 44, the push member 42 can slide along the first guide portion 431 toward one side of the silo 1; further, the first guide portion 431 includes a first guide groove 4311, and the push member 42 includes a first side wall portion 421 and a second side wall portion 422. The first side wall portion 42 The first side wall portion 421 and / or the second side wall portion 422 is provided with a first sliding portion 4211, that is, part of the wall surface of the first side wall portion 421 and / or the second side wall portion 422 protrudes outward to form the first sliding portion 4211, and at least part of the first sliding portion 4211 is located in the first guide groove 4311. Under the cooperation of the first sliding portion 4211 and the first guide groove 4311, the first guide groove 4311 can define the sliding path of the first sliding portion 4211, so that the pushing member 42 can move along the extension direction of the first guide portion 431.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3The material-dispensing member 41 is slidably connected to the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33. The "sliding connection" here means that one is displaced relative to the other. Specifically, the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33 include a second guide portion 312, the second guide portion 312 extends along the stacking direction of the plate-like members, and the second guide portion 312 includes a second guide groove 3121; the material-dispensing member 41 includes a third side wall portion 411 and a fourth side wall portion 412, and the third side wall portion 411 and / or the fourth side The wall portion 412 is provided with a second sliding portion 4112, that is, part of the wall surface of the third side wall portion 411 and / or the fourth side wall portion 412 protrudes outward to form the second sliding portion 4112, and at least part of the second sliding portion 4112 is located in the second guide groove 3121. With the cooperation of the second sliding portion 4112 and the second guide groove 3121, the second guide groove 3121 can limit the sliding path of the second sliding portion 4112, so that the material removing member 41 can move along the extension direction of the second guide portion 312.

[0035] Furthermore, the material shifting member 41 and the guide member 43 are slidably matched, and the guide member 43 includes a third guide portion 432, and the third guide portion 432 extends along the stacking direction of the plate-like members. The third guide portion 432 includes a third guide groove 4321, and the second guide groove 3121 and the third guide groove 4321 are connected. The second sliding portion 4112 can slide along the slide groove formed by the second guide groove 3121 and the third guide groove 4321, and then the second guide portion 312 and the third guide portion 432 form a continuous guide rail. Under the action of the second power mechanism 44 and the reset member 45, the material shifting member 41 can reciprocate along the guide rail formed by the second guide portion 312 and the third guide portion 432. Specifically, the second power mechanism 44 applies a thrust to the pushing member 42, and the pushing member 42 further pushes the material removing member 41 to move toward the side of the discharge end 12 along the guide rail formed by the second guide portion 312 and the third guide portion 432. When the second power mechanism 44 stops providing the thrust, the force in the opposite direction provided by the reset member 45 can push the material removing member 41 to move toward the side of the feed end 11 along the guide rail formed by the second guide portion 312 and the third guide portion 432.

[0036] like Figure 7The pushing member 42 also includes a first mating surface 423, and correspondingly, the material-prying member 41 includes a second mating surface 415. The first mating surface 423 and the second mating surface 415 are arranged in parallel, and the first mating surface 423 and the second mating surface 415 are arranged at an acute angle to the stacking direction of the plate-like members; further, at least part of the first mating surface 423 and the second mating surface 415 are abutted. During the operation of the unloading device 100, the material dividing mechanism includes a preparatory state and a material stripping state, and the material dividing mechanism repeatedly switches between these two states. Specifically, in the process from the preparatory state to the material stripping state, the second power mechanism 44 provides a thrust F1 toward the silo 1, so that the pushing member 42 moves along the first guide portion 431 toward the silo 1. At the same time, the first mating surface 423 of the pushing member 42 abuts against the second mating surface 415 of the material tapping member 41. Since the clamping surfaces of the first mating surface 423 and the second mating surface 415 are at an acute angle to the direction of the thrust F1 provided by the second power mechanism 44, the material tapping member 41 is subjected to a component force perpendicular to the thrust F1. The material tapping member 41 moves along the second guide portion 312 and / or the third guide portion 432 toward the side of the discharge end 12 to complete the material tapping action. At this time, the material dividing mechanism 4 reaches the material stripping state. On the other hand, in the process from the material separation state to the preparatory state of the material dividing mechanism 4, when the material discharging action is completed, the second power mechanism 44 stops working, and the thrust F1 applied to the pushing member 42 toward the silo 1 disappears, and then the component force applied to the second mating surface 415 is reduced or disappears, and the elastic member 451 connected to the material discharging member 41 is in a compressed state. At this time, the force F2 applied by the elastic member 451 to the material discharging member 41 toward the side of the feed end is greater than the sum of the gravity of the material discharging member 41 and the thrust applied by the pushing member 42. Therefore, under the action of the restoring force F2 provided by the elastic member 451, the material discharging member 41 moves along the second guide portion 312 and / or the third guide portion 432 toward the side of the feed end 11, and at the same time, the pushing member 42 is pushed by the second mating surface 415 to move along the first guide portion 431 toward the side away from the silo 1 until the material discharging member 41 returns to its original position.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 7The first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33 include a base 313, a first boss portion 315 and a second boss portion 316. In the horizontal direction, the first boss portion 315 and the second boss portion 316 are arranged at intervals. The first boss portion 315 and the second boss portion 316 are respectively connected to the base 313, and the first boss portion 315 and the second boss portion 316 are both located at one end of the base 313 close to the feed end 11. The second guide portion 312 is arranged on the first boss portion 315 and / or the second guide portion 312. or the second boss portion 316, specifically, the second guide portion 312 is provided on the side of the first boss portion 315 facing the second boss portion 316, or the second guide portion 312 is provided on the side of the second boss portion 316 facing the first boss portion 315, or the second guide portion 312 is provided on both opposite sides of the first boss portion 315 and the second boss portion 316, and the second guide portion 312 is formed by a part of the wall surface of the first boss portion 315 and / or the second boss portion 316 being recessed inward. Further, the third side wall portion 411 of the material-dipping member 41 faces the first boss portion 315, and the fourth side wall portion 412 of the material-dipping member 41 faces the second boss portion 316, and the second sliding portion 4112 provided on the third side wall portion 411 and / or the fourth side wall portion 412 can cooperate with the second guide portion 312 to achieve a sliding connection between the material-dipping member 41 and the clamping member.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 The base 313 includes a first mounting hole portion 314. Specifically, the first mounting hole portion 314 is arranged on a portion of the base 313 between the first boss portion 315 and the second boss portion 316 in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plate-like members. Further, at least a portion of the material-pickup member 41 can be accommodated between the first boss portion 315 and the second boss portion 316. The material-pickup member 41 includes a lower end portion 413 arranged opposite to the base 313. The lower end portion 413 is provided with a second mounting hole portion 4131. The first mounting hole portion 314 and the second mounting hole portion 4131 extend along the same axis. The first mounting hole portion 314 and the second mounting hole portion 4131 extend along the same axis. Part 314 includes a first mounting hole 3141, and the second mounting hole part 4131 includes a second mounting hole 4131'. One end of the elastic member 451 is located in the first mounting hole 3141, and the other end is located in the second mounting hole 4131'. When the unloading device 100 performs a material-pickup action, the elastic member 451 is compressed, so that one end of the elastic member 451 abuts against the clamping member, and the other end abuts against the material-pickup member 41. At this time, the elastic member 451 stores elastic potential energy. After the material-pickup action is completed, the elastic member 451 releases the elastic potential energy to push the material-pickup member 41 to reset in preparation for the next material-pickup action.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 7The first boss portion 315 and / or the second boss portion 316 are provided with an abutting portion 311 on the end surface facing the silo 1. The abutting portion 311 protrudes toward the silo 1, and the abutting portion 311 extends along the shape of the edge of the plate-like member close to the abutting portion 311. Further, the abutting portion 311 includes a clamping surface 3111, and the clamping surface 3111 is provided toward the side of the plate-like member. The material-digging member 41 includes a pressing portion 414, and the pressing portion 414 protrudes toward the side of the silo 1. The pressing portion 414 includes an abutting surface 4141. In the stacking direction of the plate-like members, the abutting surface 4141 is not higher than the lowermost end of the clamping surface 3111. When the clamping mechanism 3 is in a state of abutting and clamping the plate-like members in the silo 1, the clamping surface 3111 abuts against a portion of the stacked plate-like members, so that this portion of the plate-like members and the plate-like members at their upper ends are clamped and fixed, and the clamping surface 3111 is closer to the silo 1 than the end surface of the side of the pressing portion 414 facing the silo 1, which creates a gap between the pressing portion 414 and the plate-like members, allowing the pressing portion 414 to move relative to the clamped plate-like members, thereby enabling the material stripping member 41 to peel off the plate-like members below the clamped plate-like members.

[0040] like Figure 1 The supporting structure 2 includes a third power mechanism 22, such as a cylinder, an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The third power mechanism 22 can drive the supporting member 21 to approach or move away from the discharge port 121. Specifically, the third power mechanism 22 enables the supporting member 21 to reciprocate along the placement direction of the plate-like members. Of course, the third power mechanism 22 can also enable the supporting member 21 to move along the stacking direction of the plate-like members. For example, one end of the supporting member 21 is fixed to the silo 1, and the other end approaches or moves away from the discharge port 121 under the drive of the third power mechanism 22, that is, the supporting member 21 flips with one end as the fixed axis, thereby opening or closing the discharge port 121.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 The material discharging method of the discharging device 100 comprises the following steps:

[0042] Step B: Figure 8 B, the first power mechanism 32 pushes the first clamping member 31, the second clamping member 33 and the material shifting member 41 to move toward one side of the silo 1, and the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 clamp part of the plate-like member;

[0043] Step C: the third power mechanism 22 drives the supporting member 21 to leave the discharge port 121;

[0044] Step D: Figure 8 C. The second power mechanism 44 pushes the pushing member 42 to move toward the side of the silo 1, and the pushing member 42 squeezes the material-dispensing member 41 to move toward the side of the discharge port;

[0045] Specifically, the second power mechanism 44 pushes the pushing member 42 to move along the first guide portion 431 toward the side of the silo 1, and the pushing member 42 squeezes the material-discharging member 41 to move along the second guide portion 312 and / or the third guide portion 432 toward the side of the material-discharging end portion 12, thereby peeling off the plate-like member under the clamping member;

[0046] The unloading method of the unloading device 100 can be performed in the order of steps BD. Of course, the order of the above steps can also be swapped or performed simultaneously. For example, in some embodiments, step C and step D can be swapped. The second power mechanism 44 first pushes the pushing member 42 to move toward the side of the silo 1, and at the same time, the pushing member 42 squeezes the material-prying member 41 to move toward the side of the discharge port, peeling off the plate-like member under the clamping member, and then the third power mechanism 22 drives the supporting member 21 to leave the discharge port 121, so that at least one plate-like member not clamped by the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 falls from the discharge port 121; of course, step C and step D can also be performed simultaneously.

[0047] Furthermore, before step B, step A may be included: a feeding device puts a certain amount of plate-like members into the silo 1, and at this time, the supporting member 21 is in a state of supporting the plate-like members;

[0048] Furthermore, after step D, the following steps may be included:

[0049] Step E: The third power mechanism 22 drives the supporting member 21 to approach the discharge port 121, and at least partially closes the discharge port 121;

[0050] Step F: the third power mechanism 44 stops working, and the reset member 45 pushes the material-discharging member 41 and the pushing member 42 to reset;

[0051] Step G: The first power mechanism 32 drives the first clamping member 31 , the second clamping member 33 and the material-moving member 41 to move away from the silo 1 , the clamping force disappears, and the stacked plate-like members fall due to gravity and are supported by the supporting member 21 .

[0052] Of course, the order of the above steps may also be swapped or performed simultaneously. For example, in some embodiments, step F and step G may be swapped or performed simultaneously, or step E and step F may be swapped or performed simultaneously.

[0053] The second embodiment of the present application is described in detail below. Fig. 9 The working principle and basic structure of the silo 1, the clamping mechanism 3 and the material distribution mechanism 4 of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and will not be described repeatedly. The supporting mechanism 2 at different points will be described in detail.

[0054] like Fig. 9The supporting member 21 includes a rotating shaft 211, and accordingly, the discharge end portion 12 is provided with a fixing portion 122 for fixing the rotating shaft 211. The rotating shaft 211 is rotatably connected to the fixing portion 122. The "rotational connection" here means that one can rotate relative to the other. One end of the supporting member 21 is connected to the third power mechanism 22, and the other end is a free end. The rotating shaft 211 is arranged between the two ends and close to the third power mechanism 22. The third power mechanism 22 can push the supporting member 21 downward or pull the supporting member 21 upward, so that the supporting member 21 can swing around the rotating shaft 211, thereby realizing the action of opening or closing the discharge port 121. When the supporting member 21 opens the discharge port 121, the plate-like member not clamped by the clamping member is output from the discharge port 121 to complete the unloading action.

[0055] The third embodiment of the present application is described in detail below. Figures 10 to 12 The working principle and basic structure of the silo 1 and the supporting mechanism 2 of the third embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and will not be described repeatedly. The clamping mechanism 3 and the material distribution mechanism 4 at different points will be described in detail.

[0056] like Figures 10 to 12 The material-pickup member 41 is arranged close to the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 33, and the movement direction of the material-pickup member 41 intersects with the horizontal plane, that is, the material-pickup member 41 reciprocates along an inclined direction at an acute angle to the horizontal plane. The material-pickup member 41 peels off the plate-like member under the plate-like member clamped by the clamping member, and combined with the movement of the supporting mechanism 2, each time the discharge port 121 is opened, at least one plate-like member is peeled off from the stacked material and output from the discharge port 121.

[0057] Furthermore, the material-push-down member 41 is generally U-shaped, and the pressing portion 414 includes a first pressing portion 414a and a second pressing portion 414b, which extend along the movement direction of the material-push-down member 41, and one end of the first pressing portion 414a and the second pressing portion 414b close to the feed end 11 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 416, and the fixed connection here can be a bolt connection, a snap connection, welding, etc. Of course, the first pressing portion 414a and the second pressing portion 414b can also be an integral part with the sliding member 416, which is not limited here. The free ends of the first pressing portion 414a and the second pressing portion 414b include abutting surfaces 4141, and the abutting surfaces 4141 are arranged toward the plate-like member. Specifically, the abutting surfaces 4141 can abut against the flanged portion of the plate-like member. The first pressing portion 414a and the second pressing portion 414b push the end surfaces of the flanged portion through the abutting surfaces 4141, so that the plate-like member not clamped by the clamping mechanism 3 is detached from under the clamped plate-like member.

[0058] like Fig.11 and 12The first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 (not shown in the figure) are respectively located on the opposite sides of the silo 1. In the horizontal direction, the first clamping member 31 is located between the first pressing portion 414a and the second pressing portion 414b. The first clamping member 31 reciprocates in the horizontal direction. The lowest point of the downward movement of the first pressing portion 414a and the second pressing portion 414b is lower than the clamping surface 3111 of the first clamping member 31. In this way, the plate-like member located below the plate-like member clamped by the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 33 can be pushed down, thereby solving the problem of difficulty in unloading caused by the tight connection between the plate-like members and the difficulty in separation.

[0059] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail in this specification with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents, and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
