Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent belongs to the field of unloading and equipment of transport vehicles, specifically designing a side-tilt unloading method and unloading platform. Background Art

[0002] Calcium carbide is a chemical substance that produces acetylene gas, and its main raw materials include limestone and coke. Calcium carbide raw materials will produce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide during production and use, which are very harmful to the human body and the environment. Moreover, the production process of calcium carbide involves dangerous factors such as high temperature. If you do not pay attention to safe operation, accidents are likely to occur. Therefore, in order to protect the lives of workers and the health of the environment, the loading and unloading of calcium carbide raw materials usually needs to be carried out in an automated or semi-automated manner to reduce the health hazards and safety risks of manual operation;

[0003] At present, in terms of unloading transport vehicles loaded with chemical materials, the traditional manual loading and unloading methods have the problems of high labor intensity, low work efficiency, health hazards and safety risks. In order to improve loading and unloading efficiency and reduce labor intensity, some enterprises and places have adopted improved loading and unloading equipment and technology. Among them, a common improvement method is to use loaders for loading and unloading. The modified loader pushes the goods down to speed up the unloading speed. However, this method is limited by factors such as terrain and site, and cannot fundamentally solve the unloading problem.

[0004] The existing unloading platform of transport vehicles has problems such as not being able to meet the requirements of rollover, the rollover transport vehicle will tip over, and poor practicality. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN 216472052 U and the authorization announcement date of 2022.05.10 discloses a mobile rear dumping unloading platform. The patent adopts a vehicle blocking device set at the tail end of the flip table, and unloading is achieved by lifting two lifting hydraulic cylinders set on both sides of the bottom support platform. The device has the problem that the vehicle blocking device alone is not enough to withstand the gravity of the transport vehicle, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of unloading from the side.

[0005] For example, a Chinese invention patent with a grant announcement number of CN 217201010 U and an authorization announcement date of 2022.08.16 discloses a rollover unloading platform, in which a hydraulic cylinder is arranged between the unloading platform and the platform frame, and the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the unloading platform. The unloading platform rolls over under the push of the hydraulic rod, so that the transport vehicle on the unloading platform unloads from the side door. The device has the problem of not having a device on the side to bear the gravity of the transport vehicle, and the transport vehicle will roll over when the unloading platform is unloading. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies and defects of the above-mentioned prior art, the object of the present invention is to propose a unloading platform for calcium carbide raw material transport vehicles, which solves the problems that the existing ones cannot meet rollover requirements, rollover transport vehicles will tip over, and the practicability is poor, etc.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions to achieve:

[0008] A unloading platform for calcium carbide raw material transport vehicles mainly includes a transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate, a transport vehicle traction load-bearing device, a transport vehicle positioning device, a transport vehicle clamping device, a lifting hydraulic cylinder, and a fixed support column;

[0009] The unloading platform is a rectangular platform, equipped with a transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate, a hydraulic lifting device, and a fixed support column; the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate adopts a hollow structure inside, which is used for the transport vehicle positioning device and the transport vehicle clamping device; the installed hydraulic lifting device includes a hinge support and a lifting hydraulic cylinder; the hinge support is installed at the bottom of the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate; the lifting hydraulic cylinder is located on one side of the bottom of the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate, and the upper section of the lifting hydraulic cylinder barrel is connected to the unloading platform through the hinge support; the fixed support column is located on the other side of the bottom of the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate and is connected to the unloading platform through the hinge support; as the stroke of the hydraulic cylinder changes, the height of one side of the unloading platform changes, and the transport vehicle located on the unloading platform will dump the calcium carbide raw materials as the height of one side changes;

[0010] The transport vehicle traction load-bearing device consists of two main parts: a traction rope and a drum; the traction rope is a high-strength steel wire rope, which is sleeved on the wheels on one side of the transport vehicle to prevent side slip when the unloading platform tips over; the drum is installed at the bottom of the unloading platform through the drum frames at both ends, and tightens the transport vehicle through the tension force generated by winding the traction rope when the unloading platform tips over, avoiding the transport vehicle from tipping over;

[0011] The transport vehicle positioning device consists of two main parts: a positioning hydraulic cylinder and a positioning baffle; the lower section of the positioning hydraulic cylinder is fixed inside the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate, and the upper section of the positioning hydraulic cylinder is connected to the positioning baffle; rectangular holes corresponding to the positioning baffle are opened on the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate. When the transport vehicle drives into the unloading platform, the front positioning baffle extends out of the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate as the stroke of the positioning hydraulic cylinder changes. When the transport vehicle completely drives into the unloading platform, the rear positioning baffle extends out of the transport vehicle load-bearing flat plate as the stroke of the positioning hydraulic cylinder changes, and the transport vehicle is precisely positioned and completely enters the expected position;

[0012] The described clamping device for transport vehicles consists of two parts: a clamping hydraulic cylinder and a clamping baffle. The lower section of the clamping hydraulic cylinder is fixed on both sides inside the load-bearing flat plate of the transport vehicle, and the upper section of the clamping hydraulic cylinder is connected to the clamping baffle. There are holes corresponding to the clamping baffle on the load-bearing flat plate of the transport vehicle. When the transport vehicle drives into the unloading platform and completely enters the expected position through the transport vehicle positioning device, the two-sided clamping baffles clamp from both ends of the load-bearing flat plate of the transport vehicle towards the middle as the stroke of the clamping hydraulic cylinder changes. The clamping device tightly adheres to the transport vehicle through the hydraulic pressure generated by the clamping hydraulic cylinder, generating a huge frictional force to prevent the transport vehicle from tipping over when the unloading platform tilts to one side.

[0013] The technical features of the present invention are:

[0014] The described unloading platform is connected to the fixed struts at the bottom of the unloading platform through a lifting hydraulic cylinder and the load-bearing flat plate of the transport vehicle to form an integrated whole, realizing the overall side tipping of the bottom of the unloading platform together with the transport vehicle, avoiding manual unloading, and having high unloading efficiency.

[0015] The front and rear clamping plates of the designed clamping device for transport vehicles can tightly adhere to the wheels of the transport vehicle, preventing the transport vehicle from falling off the unloading platform due to its own gravity when the unloading platform dumps chemical raw materials.

[0016] The designed transport vehicle positioning device can ensure that the transport vehicle accurately stops at the preset position, playing a positioning role for the transport vehicle, enabling the front and rear clamping plates of the vehicle clamping device to accurately clamp the wheels, and avoiding the transport vehicle falling off the unloading platform due to uneven clamping forces on each wheel.

[0017] After the front and rear clamping plates of the designed transport vehicle traction and load-bearing device clamp the wheels of the transport vehicle, the traction rope of the traction and load-bearing device is sleeved on one side of the wheel, sharing a part of the self-weight of the transport vehicle, and avoiding the transport vehicle falling off the unloading platform due to insufficient clamping force of the clamping device.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this patent are: The present invention is provided with a load-bearing flat plate for transport vehicles, a transport vehicle traction and load-bearing device, a transport vehicle positioning device, and a transport vehicle clamping device. The push rod of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the load-bearing flat plate of the transport vehicle. The unloading platform tilts as the stroke of the hydraulic rod changes, enabling the calcium carbide raw materials in the transport vehicle fixed on the unloading platform to be unloaded from the side door, greatly saving manpower.

[0019] The present invention is provided with a transport vehicle positioning device and a transport vehicle clamping device on the unloading platform, enabling the transport vehicle to maintain a certain position on the unloading platform and not easily slide. The structure is simple, ensuring the stability of the transport vehicle on the unloading platform. Further features and aspects of the present invention will be clearly described in the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] (1) This device is mostly implemented by a mechanical structure, with a simple structure and low production cost.

[0021] (2) The clamping plate of the vehicle clamping device and the towing rope of the vehicle towing and load-bearing device of this device can be replaced regularly, and it is easy to maintain.

[0022] (4) This device is easy to operate, saves manpower, has advantages such as high work efficiency and environmental protection, and can avoid potential safety hazards to personnel. Description of the Drawings
