[0016] Loading: The material to be transferred is placed on the material placement groove of the flipping plate. Anti-detachment protection is provided by the side guardrails. The driving motor drives the wire reel to rotate, thereby winding the traction rope. The traction rope can pull the moving seat upward, and the folding track is used for limiting and guiding, thus completing the loading operation;

[0017] Flipping and unloading: The permanent magnet block is used to adsorb the metal plate, making the flipping plate parallel to the moving seat. The stop bar is used for limiting.

When in use, the diagonal strut and the base frame are placed on the ground, installed by using the buckle and the connecting ring. The wire reel rotates to wind the traction rope, and the moving seat can move along the folding track, facilitating the loading operation;

[0021] This device uses a permanent magnet block to adsorb the metal plate, making the flipping plate parallel to the moving seat. When the material moves to a high position, the tooth groove meshes with the transmission gear to limit its movement. After the material rises to a predetermined height, the flipping plate rotates and tilts around the steering shaft, causing the material to slide into the receiving place, and can realize automatic unloading without manual container loading and unloading;

[0022] In this device, the groove surface of the guide wheel fits the folding track, which can be used for limiting and guiding, ensuring that the moving seat moves along the direction of the folding track, stable and reliable. When the traction rope breaks, the acceleration of the moving seat drops suddenly. The electromagnet is used to magnetically adsorb the metal block, and the brake block moves to contact the outer wall of the folding track, reducing the downward movement speed of the moving seat by increasing the friction force, improving the safety factor of the device in use.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] On the basis of the first embodiment, a permanent magnet block 901 is embedded in the front side of the top of the moving seat 9. Symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the moving seat 9 are limiting plates 902. Rotatably connected to the upper and lower outer walls of the limiting plates 902 are wheel shafts 903. Connected to the ends of the wheel shafts 903 are guide wheels 904. The groove surfaces of the guide wheels 904 are in contact with the folding track 1.

[0043] Inserted in the middle of the limiting plate 902 is a U-shaped rod 921. Connected to the end of the U-shaped rod 921 close to the folding track 1 is a brake block 922. Connected to the middle of the U-shaped rod 921 is a metal block 923. Connected between the brake block 922 and the limiting plate 902 is a spring 924. Connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 902 are an electromagnet 925 and an acceleration sensor 926.

[0044] Connected to the end of the steering shaft 12 is a transmission gear 121. Connected to the rear end of the top wall of the folding track 1 is an L-shaped frame 122. A tooth groove 123 is formed in the top wall of the L-shaped frame 122. Connected between the vertical parts of the two L-shaped frames 122 is a stop bar 124. A relief opening 125 is formed in the middle section of the bottom of the stop bar 124. The towing rope 7 passes through the relief opening 125 to avoid interference.

[0045] The moving seat 9 is arranged in a trapezoidal block structure. The horizontal part of the L-shaped frame 122 is located above the inclined surface of the moving seat 9. The transmission gear 121 and the tooth groove 123 are in the same vertical plane, which is convenient for cooperation and transmission.

[0046] The specific implementation manner of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] In this embodiment, the permanent magnet block 901 is used to adsorb the metal plate 131, so that the turning plate 13 is parallel to the moving seat 9. The stop bar 124 is used for limiting. When the material moves to a high place, the transmission gear 121 contacts the tooth groove 123 of the L-shaped frame 122. The tooth groove 123 meshes with the transmission gear 121 to limit its movement. After rising to a predetermined height, the turning plate 13 rotates and inclines around the steering shaft 12, and the material can automatically slide and fall into the receiving place, realizing automatic turning and discharging, without manual container loading and unloading; after discharging is completed, the motor reverses to retract the towing rope, and at the same time the moving seat smoothly slides down under the action of gravity.

[0048] During the movement of the moving seat 9, the groove surfaces of the guide wheels 904 are in contact with the folding track 1, which can perform limiting and guiding to ensure that the moving seat 9 moves along the direction of the folding track 1. The acceleration sensor 926 is used to monitor the moving acceleration of the limiting plate 902. When the towing rope 7 accidentally breaks, the falling acceleration of the moving seat 9 suddenly changes, and the signal is transmitted to the PLC controller 14. Then, the electromagnet 925 is energized. The electromagnet 925 adsorbs the metal block 923 by magnetism. The U-shaped rod 921 can drive the brake block 922 to move into contact with the folding track 1, and the downward movement speed of the moving seat 9 is reduced by increasing the friction force, improving the safety factor of the device during use.

[0049] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.
