Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of transport technology, and specifically relates to a core storage and transfer device. Background Art

[0002] In field geological exploration, the proper storage and transfer of cores is crucial for ensuring the representativeness of collected samples, the accuracy of research, and the authenticity of test data. Currently, the core boxes commonly used in the field are mostly made of plastic or wood, which are prone to damage after long-term use or in complex environments. Damaged core boxes hinder subsequent core cataloging and storage, necessitating the transfer of the cores to new boxes.

[0003] However, existing transfer methods face numerous challenges. Each core box typically contains multiple core segments, some of which are severely broken and weathered, making transfer difficult. Furthermore, if the core's position is misplaced during transfer, the core depth data, particularly the determined ore body thickness, will be erroneous. Given that sampling follows a reduced sampling method to ensure representativeness and uniformity, inaccuracies in key data such as depth and mineralization will inevitably affect subsequent core research results, potentially leading to biased or even erroneous conclusions. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The core storage and transfer device provided in the present application also includes a self-locking mechanism, which is arranged on the extension part of the first baffle and can slide into the wall groove of the second baffle corresponding to the extension part under the action of gravity and complete the locking, providing support force for the first baffle and the second baffle that carry the core.

[0019] In the core storage and transfer device provided in the present application, the short-distance moving mechanism includes a reciprocating motor, a reciprocating arm, a connecting piece, a reciprocating frame, and a synchronous belt assembly. The reciprocating motor is connected to the mounting frame and is located in the middle position on the side of the opening. The reciprocating arm is connected to the driving end of the reciprocating motor. The reciprocating frame is connected to the two end side walls of the inner frame. The connecting piece is connected to the end of the reciprocating arm and is inserted into the reciprocating frame.

[0020] In the core storage and transfer device provided in the present application, the limiting mechanism includes limiting rails, which are respectively arranged on the fixed plane and the movable plane, and are enclosed in a rectangle on each plane, and two core boxes are arranged in the limiting rails.

[0021] In the core storage and transfer device provided in the present application, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting rail, a lifting slider and a lifting drive motor.

[0023] The present application first places the intact core box on the fixed plane of the transposition mechanism, and the damaged core box on the movable plane. The covers of the core boxes have been opened and removed. The limiting mechanism limits the movement of the core box on the plane by setting limiting rails on the fixed plane and the movable plane to ensure that the position of the core box is fixed. The transposition mechanism starts working, and the rotating motor drives the rotating arm to rotate, so that the movable plane flips from the same horizontal plane as the fixed plane to directly above the fixed plane, and the two planes are opposite. The calibration sensor monitors in real time. When the two core boxes are placed on the corresponding planes and facing each other, the optical coupling sensor receives a signal, indicating that the core boxes are aligned. When flipping the damaged core box, the support plate mechanism abuts against the core in the damaged core box. The support plate rotating motor rotates the support plate mechanism, and flips along with the damaged core box at the same time, keeping the abutting state unchanged. When the damaged core box is flipped, the support plate mechanism carries the core. The lifting mechanism drives the pallet mechanism to move from a movable surface to a fixed surface, transporting the core from the damaged core box to a healthy one. When the core reaches the healthy box, the pallet mechanism releases the core and stores it in the healthy box. Since the two core boxes are positioned relative to each other, their relative storage positions are relatively fixed. The core storage position information can then be further adjusted and exchanged in the new box.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] Through the coordinated work of the automated replacement mechanism, the support mechanism, and the lifting mechanism, all the cores in the damaged core box can be directly transferred to the new core box at one time, without the need to manually transfer the cores section by section, which greatly saves manpower and time, improves the transfer efficiency, and can prevent the cores from mixing during the transfer process, resulting in certain deviations or even errors in the depth data. The limit mechanism ensures that the core box does not move during the transfer process, the calibration sensor ensures that the two core boxes are accurately aligned, and the support mechanism keeps the core position unchanged during the transfer process. These measures work together to effectively avoid certain deviations or even errors in the drilling depth data and the ore body catalog thickness due to changes in the position of the core during the transfer process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent core research data.

[0046] A specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a core storage and transfer device is disclosed, comprising: a transposition mechanism 10, the transposition mechanism 10 comprising a fixed plane 11 and a movable plane 12, the fixed plane 11 being used to place an intact core box 13, the movable plane 12 being used to place a damaged core box 13, the movable plane 12 being capable of flipping from a position on the same horizontal plane as the fixed plane 11 to a position directly above the fixed plane 11, with the two planes facing each other; a limiting mechanism being provided on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, for limiting the movement of the core box 13; a supporting plate mechanism 20 being provided on the transposition mechanism 10, for supporting the core in the damaged core box 13 when flipping the damaged core box 13. After the damaged core box 13 is flipped over, it can carry the cores and transport the cores to the intact core box 13; the lifting mechanism 30 is driven and connected to the support mechanism 20, and is used to drive the support mechanism 20 to move between the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12; the support plate rotation motor is connected to the lifting mechanism 30 and is driven and connected to the support mechanism 20, and is used to rotate the support mechanism 20 and rotate synchronously with the damaged core box 13. The calibration sensors are respectively arranged on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, and are used to determine the alignment of the core boxes 13 placed on the two planes; during the core transfer process, the box covers of the two core boxes 13 have been opened and removed in advance.

[0047] In implementation, first, the intact core box 13 is placed on the fixed plane 11 of the transposition mechanism 10, and the damaged core box 13 is placed on the movable plane 12. The box covers of the core boxes 13 have been opened and removed. The limiting mechanism limits the movement of the core boxes 13 on the plane through the limiting rails arranged on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, and ensures the fixed position of the core boxes 13. The transposition mechanism 10 starts to work, the rotary motor 103 drives the rotary support arm 102 to rotate, so that the movable plane 12 is flipped from the position in the same horizontal plane as the fixed plane 11 to the position directly above the fixed plane 11, and the two planes are opposite to each other. The calibration sensor monitors in real time, and when the two core boxes 13 are placed on the corresponding planes and face each other, the light coupling opposite sensor receives a signal, indicating that the core boxes 13 are aligned. The supporting plate mechanism 20 abuts against the core in the damaged core box 13 when the damaged core box 13 is flipped, and is flipped at the same time as the damaged core box 13, so that the abutting state remains unchanged. When the damaged core box 13 is flipped, the supporting plate mechanism 20 carries the core. The lifting mechanism 30 drives the supporting plate mechanism 20 to move, drives the supporting plate mechanism 20 to move from the movable plane 12 to the fixed plane 11, and carries the core from the damaged core box 13 to the intact core box 13. When the core reaches the intact core box 13, the supporting plate mechanism 20 releases the core, and the core is released into the intact core box 13 for storage. Since the two core boxes 13 are opposite to each other, the storage positions of the two core boxes 13 relative to each other are determined, and the subsequent storage position information of the new core box 13 can be further sorted and exchanged.

[0048] In the embodiment, the two core boxes 13 are initially placed on the ground with the openings upward, then the damaged core box 13 is flipped by 180 degrees, so that it is flipped above the intact core box 13, and the opening of the damaged core box 13 faces downward, so that the alignment state is completed. At this time, the core is carried by the supporting plate mechanism 20 under the action of gravity, and moves with the supporting plate mechanism 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, the transposition mechanism 10 includes a fixed platform 101, a rotary support arm 102, a rotary motor 103, a movable platform 104, and a movable motor 105. The top surface of the fixed platform 101 includes the fixed plane 11. The rotary support arm 102 is rotatably connected to the center of one end of the fixed platform 101. The rotary motor 103 is drivingly connected with the rotary support arm 102. The movable platform 104 is rotatably connected with the rotary support arm 102. The rotary support arm 102 is connected to the center of one end of the movable platform 104. The movable motor 105 is drivingly connected with the movable platform 104.

[0050] The rotating motor 103 drives the rotating arm 102 to rotate, causing the movable platform 104 connected to the rotating arm 102 to move accordingly, moving it above the fixed platform 101. The movable motor 105 further controls the rotation angle of the movable platform 104 itself, thereby controlling the position of the two core boxes 13 openings facing each other. The rotation speed and angle of the movable motor 105 and the rotating motor 103 can be pre-configured so that when the rotating arm 102 rotates, the movable platform 104 also rotates simultaneously, and when they reach the upper position, the intact core box 13 is aligned with the damaged core box 13.

[0051] This arrangement ensures that the movable plane 12 can accurately reach the top of the fixed plane 11 during the flipping process and remain relatively parallel to the fixed plane 11. This precise transposition action can provide a stable foundation for the subsequent core transfer and avoid deviation or failure of core transfer due to inaccurate transposition.

[0052] Two rotating arms 102 are provided, one at each end of the fixed platform 101. The two rotating arms 102 are connected by a rotating shaft 106 that passes through the fixed platform 101 and is rotatably connected to the fixed platform 101. The movable platform 104 is also provided with a rotating shaft 106 that passes through the movable platform 104 and is connected to the two rotating arms 102. The two rotating arms 102 are connected and rotated by the rotating shaft 106 that passes through the fixed platform 101. The movable platform 104 is also connected to the two rotating arms 102 by the rotating shaft 106. When the rotating motor 103 drives the rotating shaft 106 to rotate, it drives the two rotating arms 102 to rotate synchronously, thereby stably driving the movable platform 104 and the movable surface 12 thereon to flip.

[0053] The structure of the double rotating arms 102 and the rotating shaft 106 enhances the stability of the flipping process of the movable platform 104, ensuring that the movable plane 12 can accurately reach directly above the fixed plane 11 during the flipping process and maintain the accuracy of the relative position, thereby avoiding the core box 13 from shaking or position shifting due to structural instability, which affects the core transfer.

[0054] In some embodiments, the support mechanism 20 includes an installation frame 201, a movable plate mechanism 202, a short-distance moving mechanism 203, and an inner frame 204. The installation frame 201 is provided with multiple openings 205, and an inner frame 204 is provided in each opening 205. The short-distance moving mechanism 203 is driven and connected to the inner frame 204. The short-distance moving mechanism 203 is connected to the installation frame 201. The movable plate mechanism 202 is provided in the inner frame 204 for supporting the core and releasing the core when the core reaches the intact core box 13. The movable plate mechanisms 202 correspond to the storage cells in the core box 13 for storing the core.

[0055] The mounting frame 201 of the support plate mechanism 20 is provided with a plurality of openings 205 , which are for adapting to the installation and movement of the inner frame 204 and corresponding to the core storage compartments in the core box 13 .

[0056] The short-distance movement mechanism 203 is mounted on the mounting frame 201 and is used to drive the inner frame 204. When a core needs to be supported, the short-distance movement mechanism 203 begins to operate. It drives the movable plate mechanism 202 toward the core and places it against it. When the core needs to be placed into the intact core box 13, the short-distance movement mechanism 203 moves in the opposite direction, moving the movable plate mechanism 202 to the bottom of the storage compartment of the intact core box 13.

[0057] The movable plate mechanism 202 is mounted within the inner frame 204 and corresponds to each storage cell within the core box 13. When a core needs to be transferred, the movable plate mechanism 202, following a pre-set program, supports the core after the short-distance movement mechanism 203 moves the inner frame 204 to the appropriate position, preparing to transfer the core from the damaged core box 13 to the intact core box 13.

[0058] By constraining the inner frame 204 with the opening 205 and accurately driving the short-distance moving mechanism 203, the core can be accurately positioned within a small range, ensuring that the core accurately corresponds to the storage compartment in the intact core box 13 during the transfer process.

[0059] This corresponding storage grid design and precise position adjustment function make the core transfer process more orderly, reduce unnecessary searching and placement time, and improve the overall transfer efficiency.

[0060] The movable plate mechanism 202 includes a first baffle 206, a first shaft 207, a first drive motor 208, a second baffle 209, a second shaft 210 and a second drive motor 211. The long side of the first baffle 206 is connected to the first shaft 207, the first shaft 207 is rotatably connected to the inner frame 204, the first drive motor 208 is drive-connected to the first shaft 207, the first drive motor 208 is connected to the inner frame 204, the first baffle 206 is arranged on an inner side of the inner frame 204, the long side of the second baffle 209 is connected to the second shaft 210, and the second shaft 211 is connected to the inner frame 204. 0 is rotatably connected to the inner frame 204, the second drive motor 211 is drivably connected to the second shaft 210, and the second drive motor 211 is connected to the inner frame 204. The second baffle 209 is arranged at the other side surface inside the inner frame 204, opposite to the first baffle 206. The length of the first baffle 206 is longer than the second baffle 209. When abutting the core, the second baffle 209 first rotates to the abutting position, and then the first baffle 206 rotates to abut the end of the second baffle 209, and the two form a V-shaped structure, and the core is just located in the V-shaped groove 403 of the two.

[0061] When the core needs to be supported, the second drive motor 211 is first started, and its motor shaft drives the second shaft 210 to rotate. The second shaft 210 is connected to the second baffle 209, so that the second baffle 209 rotates around the second shaft 210 to the predetermined supporting position. This provides a preliminary support point for the core. Next, the first drive motor 208 starts working, and the first shaft 207 rotates under its drive, and the first baffle 206 connected to the first shaft 207 rotates accordingly. Since the length of the first baffle 206 is longer than the second baffle 209, during the rotation process, the first baffle 206 will gradually approach and eventually contact the end of the second baffle 209. At this point, the two form a V-shaped structure, and the core can be stably placed in this V-shaped groove 403. During the entire flipping and transfer process, this V-shaped structure always fits tightly against the core, ensuring that the core will not be displaced or fall.

[0062] The V-shaped structure design can fit the core in all directions according to the shape characteristics of the core, providing stable and balanced support for the core, effectively preventing the core from slipping due to shaking, bumps, etc. during the transfer process, and ensuring the stability and safety of the core throughout the entire transfer process.

[0063] The V-shaped structure has a certain versatility and can adapt to cores of various shapes. Whether it is a relatively regular columnar core or an irregularly shaped broken core, it can be firmly supported by adjusting the V-shaped structure, greatly improving the applicability of the device to different types of cores.

[0064] In some embodiments, the surfaces of the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 that are in contact with the rock core are provided with an elastic cotton layer, so that when they are in contact with the rock core, they have a protective effect and a better supporting effect on the rock core.

[0065] In some embodiments, the sharp angle of the V-shaped structure formed by the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 is an obtuse angle.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, the core box 13 includes a two-layer structure, the outer layer is a wooden structure, and the inner layer is a plastic lining. When the outer layer is damaged, the inner layer can be kept intact, ensuring that the core is not damaged or reducing losses.

[0067] In some embodiments, a self-locking mechanism 40 is further included, which is arranged on the extension portion 404 of the first baffle 206 and can slide into the wall groove 403 of the second baffle 209 corresponding to the extension portion 404 under the action of gravity, and complete the locking, providing support force for the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 that support the core.

[0068] When the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 form a V-shaped structure to carry the core, the gravity of the core will generate a force on the entire movable plate mechanism 202. The self-locking mechanism 40 is arranged on the extension 404 of the first baffle 206. Under the action of gravity, it will slide along a pre-designed slide or track toward the wall groove 403 of the second baffle 209. The self-locking mechanism 40 automatically locks under the action of gravity, providing additional support force for the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 that carry the core. Even if vibration, acceleration, deceleration, etc. occur during the operation of the equipment, it can ensure that the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 will not separate easily, effectively preventing the core from falling, and further improving the reliability and safety of the core transfer process.

[0069] The self-locking mechanism 40 includes a self-locking motor 401, a self-locking chain 402, a self-locking ball head, a slide motor, and a slide. The self-locking motor 401 is mounted on the first baffle 206. The self-locking chain 402 is wound around the self-locking motor 401. The self-locking ball head is connected to the end of the self-locking chain 402. The self-locking chain 402 is inserted into a hole in the first baffle 206. The slide motor is mounted on the second baffle 209. When the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 are closed, the self-locking motor 401 releases the self-locking chain 402, and the self-locking ball head falls into the groove 403 of the second baffle 209. The slide motor drives the slide to move, squeezing the edge of the groove 403 and locking the self-locking chain 402, completing the self-locking process. After self-locking, the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 rotate, causing the extension 404 to contact the end of the second baffle 209, forming a complete V-shaped structure. At the same time, the self-locking chain 402 is in a straightened state. Such an arrangement enables the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 to have a supporting force when carrying the core.

[0070] In some embodiments, the short-distance moving mechanism 203 includes a reciprocating motor 213, a reciprocating arm 214, a connecting piece 215, a reciprocating frame 216, and a synchronous belt assembly 212. The reciprocating motor 213 is connected to the mounting frame 201 and is located in the middle position on the side of the opening 205. The reciprocating arm 214 is connected to the driving end of the reciprocating motor 213. The reciprocating frame 216 is connected to the side walls at both ends of the inner frame 204. The connecting piece 215 is connected to the end of the reciprocating arm 214 and is inserted into the reciprocating frame 216. A synchronous belt assembly 212 is provided outside the reciprocating frame 216, and the connecting piece 215 is also connected to the synchronous belt assembly 212. The rotation of the reciprocating arm 214 can drive the inner frame 204 to move through the reciprocating frame 216. The rotation of the synchronous belt assembly 212 and the rotation of the reciprocating motor 213 are both configured to rotate forward and reverse to cooperate with the reciprocating movement of the synchronous belt assembly 212.

[0071] The provision of the synchronous belt assembly 212 prevents the reciprocating movement of the inner frame 204 from deflecting or shaking. The short-distance movement mechanism 203 is designed to prevent the installation frame 201 from further descending when the lifting mechanism 30 reaches the opening of the core box 13 due to interference from the installation frame 201. Therefore, the short-distance movement mechanism 203 is raised and lowered, allowing the movable plate mechanism 202 to penetrate deeper into the core box 13 to complete the corresponding movement.

[0072] A reciprocating motor 213 is fixed to the mounting frame 201, located midway to the side of the opening 205. It serves as the power source for the short-distance movement mechanism 203. When the reciprocating motor 213 is powered on, its drive shaft drives the reciprocating arm 214 in a circular motion. The ends of the reciprocating arm 214 are connected to connectors 215, which are inserted into reciprocating frames 216 connected to the sidewalls of the inner frame 204. As the reciprocating arm 214 moves in a circular motion, the connector 215 performs reciprocating linear motion within the reciprocating frame 216.

[0073] Meanwhile, a synchronous belt assembly 212 is mounted on the exterior of the reciprocating frame 216, and a connector 215 is also connected to the synchronous belt assembly 212. The synchronous belt assembly 212 is driven by a motor, and its rotation direction and speed match those of the reciprocating motor 213. When the reciprocating motor 213 rotates forward or reverse, the synchronous belt assembly 212 also rotates forward or reverse accordingly. This synergistic effect enables precise control of the reciprocating frame 216, thereby driving the inner frame 204 to perform short-distance reciprocating motion within the opening 205 of the mounting frame 201.

[0074] The coordinated operation of the reciprocating motor 213, the synchronous belt assembly 212, the connector 215, and the reciprocating frame 216 allows precise control of the position of the inner frame 204 and the core. The direction and distance of movement of the inner frame 204 can be precisely adjusted based on actual needs, ensuring that the core accurately reaches the target storage cell within the intact core box 13, thereby improving the accuracy of core transfer.

[0075] This design enables the inner frame 204 to reciprocate in two directions to meet different core transfer requirements. It should be noted that the synchronous belt assembly 212 is connected to the connector 215 and can only move back and forth. That is, after the connector 215 moves from one end of the synchronous belt to the other, it returns to the original path, rather than moving in a circle and then returning.

[0076] In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism includes limiting rails, each provided on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, and each of which forms a rectangular shape. The two core boxes 13 are disposed within the limiting rails. The limiting mechanism includes limiting rails on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, each of which forms a rectangular shape. The rectangular shape matches the outer shape of the core box 13. When the core box 13 is placed on the plane, it is surrounded by the limiting rails from four directions.

[0077] The limiting track usually adopts a protruding structure or a groove 403 structure, in which the edge of the core box 13 is embedded, thereby limiting the movement of the core box 13 on the plane.

[0078] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 30 includes a lifting rail 301, a lifting slider 302 and a lifting drive motor. The lifting slider 302 is slidingly connected to the lifting rail 301. The lifting rail 301 is connected to the rotating arm 102 and is arranged along the length direction of the rotating arm 102. The lifting drive motor is driven and connected to the lifting slider 302, and the lifting slider 302 is connected to the support mechanism 20.

[0079] The support plate rotation motor is connected to the lifting slider 302 and is drivingly connected to the installation frame 201 to drive the installation frame 201 to rotate.

[0080] The lifting track 301 is connected to the rotating support arm 102 along its length, providing a vertical motion track for the lifting slider 302. The lifting slider 302 and the lifting track 301 use a sliding fit, such as a linear guide slider structure, to ensure that the lifting slider 302 can slide smoothly up and down on the lifting track 301.

[0081] The lift drive motor is connected to the lift slider 302 via a coupling or belt drive. When the lift drive motor is activated, the lift slider 302 moves linearly on the lift track 301. When the motor rotates forward, the lift slider 302 rises; when the motor rotates backward, the lift slider 302 descends.

[0082] Since the lifting slider 302 is connected to the supporting plate mechanism 20, the supporting plate mechanism 20 will move vertically between the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12 as the lifting slider 302 moves, thereby realizing rapid transfer of the core between different planes.

[0083] The calibration sensor includes an optical coupler beam sensor. When the two core boxes 13 are aligned, the optical coupler beam sensor receives a signal. The calibration sensor, which consists of a transmitter and a receiver, is positioned on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, respectively, in corresponding positions.

[0084] As the core boxes 13 placed on two planes gradually approach each other, light emitted by the transmitter will be directed toward the receiver. If the two core boxes 13 are facing each other, the light can smoothly pass through the gap between them and be received by the receiver. After receiving the light, the receiver converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the device's control system.

[0085] If the two core boxes 13 are not aligned, a part of the core box 13 will block the light, so that the receiving end cannot receive the complete light signal, at this time the control system will receive different signal feedback, so as to know that the core box 13 is not aligned.

[0086] The above detailed description is further detailed for the purpose of the present application, technical solutions and beneficial effects, and it should be understood that the above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
