One end of the push rack 22 is penetrated in the mounting hole 211, and the other end of the push rack 22 is penetrated on the slide rail 13 and the road cone 5 is arranged on the push rack 22, so that when the third disk 21 rotates, the third disk 21 drives the slide rail 13 along the radial direction of the third disk 21 (such as Figure 3 Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third plate 21 is a circular plate and is arranged between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. The diameter of the third plate 21 is smaller than the diameter of the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, and the third plate 21 can rotate between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. The third plate 21 is provided with a mounting hole 211 that penetrates the third plate 21 along the up and down direction. The mounting hole 211 is an arc hole and extends from the inside to the outside. The push frame 22 is arranged between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, and one end of the push frame 22 is penetrated in the mounting hole 211. The other end of the push frame 22 is arranged on the slide rail 13 and can move on the slide rail 13 in the inward and outward directions. The road cone 5 is arranged on the push frame 22. When the third plate 21 rotates, the push frame 22 can be driven to drive the road cone 5 to move in the inward and outward directions. For example, when the third plate 21 rotates clockwise, the push frame 22 can be driven to drive the road cone 5 to move from the inside to the outside. When the third plate 21 rotates counterclockwise, the push frame 22 can be driven to drive the road cone 5 to move from the outside to the inside.

[0031] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 2 further includes a plurality of groups of rollers 23, which are arranged one by one on a plurality of slide rails 13, each group including a plurality of rollers 23 arranged in sequence along the radial direction of the third disk 21, the rollers 23 are rotatably arranged on the slide rails 13 of the third disk 21 and the push frame 22 is arranged on the rollers 23. Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper end surface of the second disk 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves extending inward and outward directions, and the plurality of mounting grooves are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second disk 12. The number of the plurality of mounting grooves is equal to the number of the plurality of slide rails 13, and the plurality of mounting grooves are installed one-to-one under the plurality of slide rails 13. A group of rollers 23 is provided in each mounting groove, and each group includes a plurality of rollers 23 rotatably arranged in sequence in the inward and outward directions. The push frame 22 is arranged on the rollers 23, so that the push frame 22 can slide smoothly on the second disk 12 through the rollers 23.

[0032] In some embodiments, the push frame 22 includes a push rod 221 and a push plate 222. The push rod 221 is arranged on the push plate 222 and penetrates the mounting hole 211.

[0033] In some embodiments, the temporary storage assembly 3 includes a temporary storage table 31 having a temporary storage cavity 311 and a conveying member 32 .

[0034] The temporary storage platform 31 is disposed on one side of the storage tray 1, the temporary storage cavity 311 is connected to one of the plurality of storage slots 111, and the retractable assembly 4 is disposed at one end of the temporary storage platform 31 away from the storage tray 1 and cooperates with the temporary storage cavity 311, so that the retractable assembly 4 can place or retract the road cone 5. Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the temporary storage table 31 is arranged on the right side of the storage tray 1, and a temporary storage cavity 311 extending in the left-right direction and penetrating the temporary storage table 31 is provided on the temporary storage table 31. When the storage tray 1 rotates, one of the storage slots 111 on the storage tray 1 is arranged opposite to and communicated with the temporary storage cavity 311 in the left-right direction, so that the road cone 5 in the storage slot 111 flows into the temporary storage cavity 311. The retractable assembly 4 is arranged on the temporary storage table 31 and is located on the right side of the temporary storage table 31, thereby enabling the retractable assembly 4 to grab the road cone 5 on the temporary storage table 31.

[0035] The conveying member 32 is disposed in the temporary storage chamber 311 and can be arranged around the length direction of the temporary storage table 31 (such as Figure 1 The conveying member 32 is rotatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the conveying member 32 is rotated to the bottom of the conveying assembly 2 so that the road cone 5 on the conveying assembly 2 is transported to the conveying member 32. The second position is located at a side of the temporary storage table 31 away from the storage tray 1 so that the receiving and placing assembly 4 can receive the road cone 5 on the conveying member 32. Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying member 32 is hinged in the temporary storage chamber 311 and driven by a motor, so that the conveying member 32 rotates in the temporary storage chamber 311 in the front-rear direction. In the first position, the conveying member 32 is located directly below the road cone 5 of the pushing plate 222. The conveying member 32 rotates through the through hole 223 to drive the road cone 5 on the pushing plate 222 to rotate. When the conveying member 32 drives the road cone 5 to rotate to the second position, the conveying member 32 transports the road cone 5 to the retracting assembly 4 so that the retracting assembly 4 grabs the road cone 5.

[0036] In some embodiments, the transporting member 32 includes a first rod 321 , a second rod 322 , a third rod 323 and a supporting member 324 .

[0037] One end of the first rod 321 and one end of the second rod 322 are both rotatably disposed in the temporary storage chamber 311, and the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 are disposed opposite to each other along the length direction of the temporary storage table 31. Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 are both vertical rods, the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, and one end of the first rod 321 and one end of the second rod 322 are both hinged on the inner circumference of the temporary storage chamber 311 .

[0038] The two ends of the third rod 323 are rotatably connected to the other end of the first rod 321 and the other end of the second rod 322, respectively. The lengths of the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 are equal and greater than the length of the third rod 323. Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the third rod 323 is a cross rod and both ends of the third rod 323 are hinged to the other end of the first rod 321 and the other end of the second rod 322, respectively. Thus, the first rod 321, the second rod 322, and the third rod 323 form a parallel four-bar linkage. The length Lab of the first rod 321 is equal to the length Lcd of the second rod 322 and may be 60 cm. The length Lbc of the third rod 323 is equal to the distance Lad between the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 and may be 29 cm. The length Lab of the first rod 321 and the length Lcd of the second rod 322 are greater than the length Lbc of the third rod 323 and the distance Lad between the first rod 321 and the second rod 322. Thus, the first rod 321, the second rod 322, and the third rod 323 form a parallel four-bar linkage (i.e., a double rocker mechanism). The first rod 321 and the second rod 322 rotate synchronously, and the third rod 323 is ensured to be in a horizontal state.

[0039] The support member 324 is disposed on the third rod 323 and the cross-sectional area of ​​the support member 324 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The support member 324 is used to support the road cone 5. Specifically, as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support member 324 is generally truncated cone-shaped and fixed on the third rod 323, and the road cone 5 can be set on the support member 324, so that the first rod 321, the second rod 322, and the third rod 323 drive the support member 324 to rotate between the first position and the second position. Therefore, when the road cone 5 is placed, when the storage tray 1 turns the road cone 5 to the specified position, the four-bar mechanism and the support member 324 cooperate to translate the road cone 5 into the grasping range of the retractable assembly 4. When the road cone 5 is recovered, the road cone 5 is translated to the storage tray 1 by the cooperation of the four-bar mechanism and the support member 324.

[0040] In some embodiments, the retractable assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 41 , a first grabbing member 42 and a second grabbing member 43 .

[0041] The mounting frame 41 is rotatably mounted on the temporary storage assembly 3, and the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 are respectively mounted at two ends of the mounting frame 41, and the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 are used to grab the road cone 5. Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the middle part of the mounting frame 41 is hinged on the temporary storage assembly 3 and the mounting frame 41 is driven by a motor to rotate in the left and right directions. The first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the mounting frame 41, so that the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 are used to grab the road cone 5.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first gripping member 42 and the second gripping member 43 are both rotatable relative to the mounting frame 41, so that when the mounting frame 41 rotates, the first gripping member 42 and the second gripping member 43 are both in a horizontal state on the mounting frame 41. Figure 8 As shown, the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 are arranged on the mounting frame 41 and can rotate around the left and right directions relative to the mounting frame 41. When the mounting frame 41 rotates, the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 can rotate on the mounting frame 41 relative to the mounting frame 41, so that the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 are always in a horizontal state relative to the mounting frame 41, so that the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 can be in a horizontal state to grab or put down the road cone 5, thereby ensuring the grabbing efficiency of the road cone 5.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 41 is rotatably connected to the temporary storage component 3 and driven by a motor (not shown in the figure), and the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 are rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 41 through the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, respectively, and the mounting frame 41 is provided with a first motor (not shown in the figure) and a second motor (not shown in the figure), and the first motor and the second motor are respectively connected to the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 through the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. When the mounting frame 41 rotates, the first motor drives the first grabbing member 42 to rotate around the left and right sides through the first rotating shaft. The second motor drives the second grabbing member 43 to rotate in the left and right directions, thereby ensuring that the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 always maintain a horizontal state, that is, the road cone 5 can always maintain a vertical state, preventing the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 from tilting when placing the road cone 5. During the process of retracting the road cone, the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 do not need to knock down the road cone 5, so that when the trolley drives the road cone retracting and releasing machine 100 to work, there is no need to reverse the trolley to knock down the road cone 5, thereby reducing safety hazards.

[0044] In some embodiments, at least one of the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 includes a connecting cylinder 421 , a grabbing rod 422 , a first claw 423 and a second claw 424 .

[0045] The connecting tube 421 is disposed on the mounting frame 41, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are both rotatably disposed on the grabbing rod 422, and the grabbing rod 422 is inserted into the connecting tube 421 and is movable relative to the connecting tube 421 along the axial direction of the connecting tube 421 (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are moved forward and backward so that the grabbing rod 422 drives the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 to open or close. Figure 8As shown, the connecting tube 421 is a horizontal tube and is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 41. The grabbing rod 422 is inserted into the connecting tube 421 and can move in the front-rear direction in the connecting tube 421. The first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are hinged at one end of the grabbing rod 422. The grabbing rod 422 can be driven by a motor to move the grabbing rod 422 in the connecting tube 421. When the grabbing rod 422 moves forward, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are opened to facilitate grabbing the road cone 5. When the grabbing rod 422 moves backward, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are closed to grab the road cone 5. The first claw 423 and the second claw 424 can be equipped with materials with high friction to ensure that the road cone 5 will not slide down and fall due to low friction when grabbing the road cone 5. Sensors are installed on the first claw 423 and the second claw 424, so that when the road cone 5 moves into the grasping range of the first claw 423 and the second claw 424, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 can grasp the road cone 5, and when the road cone 5 reaches the ground, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 can release the road cone 5, and at the same time, it can ensure that the road cone 5 is recovered. When the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are close to the road cone 5 on the ground, the road cone 5 can be grasped, and the road cone 5 can be released after being on the temporary storage table 31.

[0046] In some embodiments, at least one of the first grabbing member 42 and the second grabbing member 43 further includes an elastic member (not shown in the figure), which can be disposed between the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 and connected to the first claw 423 and the second claw 424, and the elastic member has an elastic force driving the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 to open, whereby, when the grabbing rod 422 moves forward, the elastic member can drive the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 to open to grab the road cone 5.

[0047] It is worth noting that the rotation of the first plate 11, the second plate 12, the third plate 21 and the mounting bracket 41 can be driven by the cooperation of a motor and a gear, which will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] The working process of the road cone collecting and releasing machine 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: first, a plurality of road cones 5 are sequentially placed in the storage slots 111, and the plurality of road cones 5 are sequentially divided into a first circle, a second circle, a third circle, a fourth circle and a fifth circle along the direction from outside to inside, and the storage tray 1 is driven to rotate, and one of the storage slots 111 on the storage tray 1 is connected with the temporary storage cavity 311 of the temporary storage table 31, and the third tray 21 rotates to drive the push frame 22 to move outward, so that the road cones 5 on the push frame 22 are transported to the temporary storage cavity 311 of the temporary storage table 31, and at the same time, the conveying member 32 rotates to the bottom of the push frame 22, and the supporting member 324 of the conveying member 32 lifts the road cones 5 and transports them to the collecting and releasing assembly 4, and the motor drives the installation of the collecting and releasing assembly 4 The rack 41 rotates, and when the first grabbing member 42 of the retracting and releasing assembly 4 is transported to the road cone 5, the grabbing rod 422 moves forward, so that the first grabbing member 42 grabs the road cone 5 and drives the road cone 5 to rotate, so that the road cone 5 is placed on the ground, and then, the storage tray 1 is rotated to make the adjacent storage slots 111 communicate with the storage cavity (because when the third tray 21 rotates, it drives all the pushing racks 22 to move outward synchronously, and the third tray 21 does not rotate at this time), so that the conveying member 32 transports the road cone 5 in the adjacent storage slot 111, and the second grabbing member 43 is transported to the temporary storage assembly 3, and the second grabbing member 43 grabs the road cone 5 until the road cones 5 on the first circle are completely transported, and the placement of the second circle of road cones 5 begins. When the road cone 5 needs to be folded, the trolley drives the road cone retracting and unwinding machine 100 to the vicinity of the road cone 5, starts the retracting and unwinding assembly 4, and causes the mounting frame 41 of the retracting and unwinding assembly 4 to reverse, thereby driving the first grabbing member 42 or the second grabbing member 43 to rotate to the vicinity of the road cone 5, so that the first grabbing member 42 or the second grabbing member 43 grabs the road cone 5 and transports the road cone 5 to the top of the conveying member 32, and then the conveying member 32 is reversed so that the conveying member 32 is transported to the storage tray 1, and the next road cone 5 is grabbed.
