Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship logistics equipment, and in particular to a compact and automated docking device for containerized materials that is adaptable to a ship's swaying environment. Background Art
[0002] The entry and exit of materials is a crucial part of logistics operations. Lightweight, small quantities of materials can be handled manually, while larger quantities are often repackaged in pallets, storage cages, containers, and other equipment to facilitate batch processing, achieve standardized, automated warehousing, and improve operational efficiency. Containerized materials are large in size and weight. During warehousing operations, personnel can drive a forklift to transport the materials to the docking device at the end of the automated warehousing system. After the system is activated, it automatically stores the materials within the warehouse according to the set program. During outbound operations, the system starts running and transports the containerized materials to the docking device at the end according to the set program. Personnel then drive a forklift to transport the materials away.
[0003] In land applications, an automated three-dimensional warehouse built based on a stacker crane has a conveyor line at the feed port. Personnel drive a forklift to transport materials and place them on the conveyor line. The conveyor line horizontally transfers the materials to a position where they can be picked up by the stacker crane. The conveyor line serves as a connecting device between the forklift crane and the stacker crane.
[0004] In ship applications, the penetration rate of automated warehousing systems is low. Large ships carry large amounts of materials, and reducing the number of crew members and lowering labor intensity is a significant trend. Automated warehousing systems have practical application needs and can gradually achieve unmanned and intelligent operations. Compared with land-based applications, cabin space is small, and logistics equipment needs to be compact and adaptable to narrow aisle spaces to maximize material storage space. In addition, it needs to be able to operate normally in the swaying environment of the ship. Existing ship storage systems, similar to land-based storage systems, use horizontal conveyor lines as docking equipment. They have relatively simple functions and require the cooperation of driver-operated forklifts. They lack docking equipment that can transport with multiple degrees of freedom and have low external assistance requirements.
[0005] Existing technologies, such as the land-based conveyor line connection solution described in patent document CN219135606U, rely on forklifts and require large horizontal spans, making them unsuitable for narrow passages and swaying conditions on ships. The friction-driven lifting platform described in patent document CN219859283U is prone to slippage during ship swaying, leading to misalignment.
[0006] In summary, due to the limited space in the ship cabin and the swaying environment, traditional docking equipment has poor stability and low degree of automation. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] The present invention provides a docking device for containerized materials, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 2, it comprises a turning turntable 1 and a bridge lift 2. The turning turntable 1 is mounted on the deck at the cabin entrance, and the bridge lift 2 is mounted on the bulkhead at the cabin entrance, with the center of the turning turntable 1 aligned with the center of the bridge lift 2. The turning turntable 1 can turn the direction of the containerized materials, and the bridge lift 2 can connect and lift the containerized materials.
[0039] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, the steering turntable 1 comprises a fixed plate 11, a rotating plate 12, a central bearing assembly 13, an edge roller assembly 14, a rotary drive assembly 15, a gear transmission assembly 16, and a guide and limit assembly 17. The fixed plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the ship's deck, while the rotating plate 12 is assembled to the fixed plate 11 via the central bearing assembly 13, forming a rotating structure. Multiple sets of edge roller assemblies 14 are arranged on the bottom surface of the rotating plate 12 and press against the top surface of the fixed plate 11, transferring loads acting on the rotating plate 12 to the fixed plate 11.
[0040] The rotation drive assembly 15 includes a servo reduction motor 1501 and a motor mounting base 1502. The servo reduction motor 1501 is mounted on the fixed disk 11 via the motor mounting base 1502. The rotation drive assembly 15 transmits power via the gear transmission assembly 16 to drive the rotating disk 12 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0041] Gear transmission assembly 16 includes a drive gear 1601, an intermediate gear 1602, and an incomplete ring gear 1603. Drive gear 1601 is mounted on servo reduction motor 1501 of rotary drive assembly 15, intermediate gear 1602 is mounted on fixed disk 11, and incomplete ring gear 1603 is mounted on the bottom surface of rotary disk 12. Servo reduction motor 1501 drives incomplete ring gear 1603 via drive gear 1601 and intermediate gear 1602. Gear transmission assembly 16 transmits power from rotary drive assembly 15 to rotary disk 12.
[0042] The guide and limiter assembly 17 comprises a guide seat 1701 and a limiter seat 1702. The limiter seat 1702 is located behind the guide seat 1701. Two sets of guide and limiter assemblies 17 are symmetrically mounted on the top surface of the fixed plate 11, with a spacing slightly larger than the overall dimensions of the cargo container. The guide seats 1701 are inclined in all directions, forming a figure-eight guide on either side, guiding the containerized cargo into the container and ensuring alignment with the turntable 1.
[0043] Preferably, the fixed disk 11 and the rotating disk 12 are both flat components, so as to control the top surface of the turning disk 1 to be lower than the bottom surface of the material equipment in the state of being lifted by the ground bull.
[0044] Preferably, the fixed disk 11 has an upward-turned skirt structure, and the rotating disk 12 has a downward-turned skirt structure, so as to improve the structural rigidity. When pushing the ground cow, the skirt of the rotating disk 12 can serve as a stop and limit.
[0045] Preferably, the rotating disk 12 has an M-shaped notch structure to avoid the fork of the ground bull, and the ground bull can support the containerized materials to enter the turning disk 1.
[0046] Preferably, the rim of the edge roller assembly 14 is in a drum shape to make the contact more stable.
[0047] Preferably, the center bearing assembly 13 completely constrains the rotating disk 12 radially but not axially. When the roller wears out after long-term use, the rotating disk 12 can drop by itself, maintaining the contact state between the edge roller assembly 14 and the fixed disk 11, and preventing the center bearing assembly 13 from being subjected to axial force.
[0048] Preferably, the sector angle of the incomplete gear ring 1603 is slightly larger than 180 degrees and is installed on the bottom surface of the fixed plate 11, which can avoid the M-shaped notch structure and ensure that the adjustment capability in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is not less than 90 degrees.
[0049] Preferably, the position of the guide seat 1701 is adjustable to accommodate different sizes of equipment. After being adjusted into place, the guide seat 1701 is pressed against by the limiting seat 1702 and will not deviate from the position even if subjected to external force.
[0050] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the bridge lift 2 includes a bridge track assembly 21, a transverse frame assembly 22, a transverse drive assembly 23, and a lifting and connecting assembly 24. The transverse frame assembly 22 is mounted on two symmetrically arranged lifting and connecting assemblies 24, and the two transverse frame assemblies 22 are connected to the bridge track assembly 21. The bridge track assembly 21 is connected to a transverse frame assembly 22 via a transverse drive assembly 23.
[0051] The bridge track assembly 21 includes a transverse track 2101, a bulkhead mounting bracket 2102, and a transverse clamping plate 2103. The transverse tracks 2101 on either side are fixed to the bulkhead via the bulkhead mounting brackets 2102. The transverse pulley 2201 is embedded within the bridge track assembly 21 and can slide along the guide of the transverse track 2101. The transverse clamping plate 2103 clamps the transverse tracks 2101 on both sides to maintain spacing and stability.
[0052] The transverse frame assembly 22 comprises two groups, each comprising a transverse pulley 2201, a lifting rail 2202, and a lifting plate 2203. The transverse pulley 2201 is embedded in the bridge rail assembly 21 and can slide under the guidance of the transverse rail 2101. The lifting rails 2202 on both sides are fixedly mounted below the transverse pulley 2201, and the lifting plate 2203 clamps the transverse rails 2101 on both sides to maintain spacing and stability.
[0053] The traverse drive assembly 23 includes a traverse electric cylinder 2301 and a synchronous link assembly 2302. The synchronous link assembly 2302 connects the traverse frame assemblies 22 on both sides. One end of the traverse electric cylinder 2301 is hinged to the traverse clamping plate 2103, and the other end is hinged to the traverse frame assembly 22 on one side. When the traverse electric cylinder 2301 extends or contracts, it directly pushes and pulls the traverse frame assembly 22 on one side to move laterally, while the synchronous link assembly 2302 pulls the traverse frame assembly 22 on the other side to move synchronously.
[0054] Preferably, the transverse electric cylinder 2301 is provided with a position-adjustable travel switch to control the degree of folding and opening of the transverse frame assemblies 22 on both sides. The folding stop position is set according to the external dimensions of the fixture, and the opening stop position ensures that it does not interfere with the directional operation of the directional turntable 1 with the containerized materials.
[0055] The lifting and connecting assembly 24 consists of two groups, each comprising a lifting electric cylinder 2401 and a lifting trolley 2402. The lifting trolley 2402 is embedded in the lifting track 2202 and can be raised and lowered under the guidance of the lifting track 2202. One end of the lifting electric cylinder 2401 is hinged to the bottom of the traverse trolley 2201, and the other end is hinged to the top of the lifting trolley 2402. When the lifting electric cylinder 2401 extends and retracts, it drives the lifting trolley 2402. The lifting electric cylinder 2401 is equipped with a servo motor, which ensures the synchronous operation of the lifting trolleys 2402 on both sides through precise servo control.
[0056] Preferably, the lifting electric cylinder 2401 is equipped with a servo motor, which ensures that the lifting pulleys 2402 on both sides run synchronously through precise servo control, and the containerized materials do not deflect on the lifting docking components 24 on both sides.
[0057] The operating principle of this invention is as follows: the rotary drive assembly 15 transmits power through the gear transmission assembly 16, driving the rotating disk 12 and the containerized materials to rotate relative to the fixed disk 11, thereby adjusting the direction of the containerized materials. Driven by the traverse electric cylinder 2301 and the synchronous linkage mechanism, the bridge lift 2 drives the traverse frame assemblies 22 on both sides to close and open. Driven by the lift electric cylinder 2401, the lift trolley 2402 is raised and lowered to complete the lifting and docking of the containerized materials. Each action of the docking equipment is automatically completed by program control according to the operating logic, assisting in the automated storage and retrieval of the containerized materials.
[0058] Specific use of the present invention:
[0059] When entering the warehouse, the operator uses a ground ox to unload the equipment onto the top surface of the turning turntable 1. According to the set program, the turning turntable 1 automatically runs to turn the equipment from the direction of forking outside the warehouse to the direction of connecting with the automated logistics equipment inside the warehouse. The bridge lift 2 lifts the equipment and it is then received by the automated logistics equipment in the cabin.
[0060] When leaving the warehouse, the automated logistics equipment in the cabin will unload the equipment onto the folded and raised bridge lift 2, which will automatically operate according to the set program.
