Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a slope protection brick discharge device, and more particularly to an automated horizontal stacking discharge device for slope protection bricks. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the safety and aesthetics of slopes, slope protection bricks are often laid on slopes. Conventional slope protection bricks have a frame structure, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN308900983S. Slope protection bricks usually have through holes in the middle, and the outer contour of the slope protection bricks is roughly a rectangular structure.

[0003] Slope protection bricks are usually produced by molding. After molding, the slope protection bricks are often placed horizontally on the material channel for transportation and discharge. This lowers the center of gravity of the slope protection bricks and facilitates their stable transportation on the conveyor belt. However, when the slope protection bricks are discharged, they need to be manually handled when transporting them to the end of the conveyor belt. Then, the slope protection bricks need to be stacked horizontally and then bundled and packaged. This discharge and stacking process is inefficient and labor-intensive, and it is impossible to achieve automated discharge of slope protection bricks and facilitate subsequent bundling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to realize the automated stacking and unloading of slope protection bricks, so as to facilitate the subsequent bundling and packaging of slope protection bricks.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] This invention is an automated horizontal stacking and unloading device for slope protection bricks, comprising: a first conveying channel; a second conveying channel, which is located on the right side of the first conveying channel along its length and is lower than the height of the first conveying channel, and a stop plate is provided on its right side, through which vertical slope protection bricks are transported to the right side of the second conveying channel and multiple slope protection bricks are horizontally stacked; and a rotating part, which is controlled by a motor to rotate clockwise and is located on the right side of the first conveying channel, and has multiple partitions arranged radially at equal intervals around the center of the rotating part inside, wherein when one of the partitions rotates to a horizontal position facing right, the upper surface of the partition is flush with the conveying surface of the first conveying channel, so that horizontal slope protection bricks can enter the rotating part from the first conveying channel and be supported on the partition.

[0007] The arc-shaped guard plate covers the lower right side of the rotating part. The top of the guard plate is flush with the conveying surface of the first conveying channel, and the bottom of the guard plate extends close to the bottom of the rotating part. When one of the partitions rotates to a vertical position, the partition and the bottom of the guard plate form a gap for the slope protection bricks to be vertically guided to the second conveying channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the first conveying channel is fixed on a support platform supporting the first conveying channel, and two opposing first brackets are provided on the left side of the support platform; the rotating part is rotatably disposed between the two first brackets, and the motor is fixed on one of the first brackets and connected to the rotating part.

[0009] Furthermore, a guiding and limiting component is provided on the side of the first conveying channel; the guiding and limiting component includes: a first cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixed on one side of the first conveying channel, and a guiding plate is provided at its output end, the guiding plate moving laterally above the first conveying channel through the first cylinder; and a limiting plate, which is provided on the other side of the first conveying channel and is positioned opposite to the guiding plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a second bracket is provided on the left side of the support platform, and the second bracket fixes the guard plate at the lower right of the rotating part.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotary assembly is provided on the right side of the second conveying channel. The rotary assembly is used to drive multiple horizontal forks to rotate. When the forks are located on the upper surface of the right end of the second conveying channel, vertical slope protection bricks are inserted into the forks through through holes, and the rotary assembly drives the slope protection bricks to move.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotary assembly includes: a rotary housing with a closed-loop rotary slide rail on one side near the second conveying channel; multiple sliders slidably disposed on the rotary slide rail, each slider having a corresponding horizontal fork; rotary gears disposed on the left and right sides of the rotary housing, one of the rotary gears being controlled to rotate by a rotary motor; and a chain tensioned on the two rotary gears, the chain links being fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotary slide section located above the second conveying channel is an inclined upward lifting section. When the forks drive the slope protection bricks through the lifting section, they disengage the slope protection bricks from the second conveying channel.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating shaft on one side of the fork passes through the slider and is connected to a downward-facing connecting rod, the bottom end of which is connected to a counterweight.

[0015] Furthermore, an auxiliary push plate is provided on one side along the rotation direction of the partition. The auxiliary push plate is perpendicular to the partition, and the length of the auxiliary push plate parallel to it is less than the length of the partition. The distance between the auxiliary push plate and the partition is greater than the thickness of the slope protection brick.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention is an automated horizontal stacking and discharging device for slope protection bricks. This solution cleverly utilizes the through-hole structure of the slope protection bricks. Through this device, the slope protection bricks that are discharged horizontally are transformed into a vertical state and are stacked horizontally for discharge, realizing the automated discharge of multiple slope protection bricks at one time. The horizontally stacked slope protection bricks can also facilitate subsequent bundling and packaging. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0026] See Figure 1This embodiment is an automated horizontal stacking and unloading device for slope protection bricks, including: a first conveying channel 1; a second conveying channel 2 located to the right of the first conveying channel 1, the height of the second conveying channel 2 being lower than the height of the first conveying channel 1, and a stop plate 5 provided at the left end of the second conveying channel 2; a rotating part 3 controlled by a motor to rotate clockwise and located to the left of the first conveying channel 1, and also located above the right side of the second conveying channel 2, the rotating part 3 having four partitions 31 arranged radially at equal intervals around its center, the angle between adjacent partitions 31 being 90°; see also Figure 2 When one of the partitions 31 rotates to a horizontal position facing right, the upper surface of the partition 31 is flush with the conveying surface of the first conveying channel 1, facilitating the entry of the horizontal slope protection brick 01 from the first conveying channel 1 into the rotating part 3 and its support on the partition 31. The guard plate 4 has an arc-shaped structure, the curvature of which is consistent with the curvature of the rotating part 3, and covers the lower right side of the rotating part 3. The top end 41 of the guard plate 4 is flush with the conveying surface of the first conveying channel 1, and the bottom end 42 of the guard plate 4 extends close to the bottom of the rotating part 3. When one of the partitions 31 rotates to a vertical position facing down, the partition 31 and the bottom end 42 of the guard plate 4 form a gap for the slope protection brick 01 to be vertically guided to the second conveying channel 2. In other words, the angle formed by the top end 41 and the bottom end 42 of the guard plate 4 is less than 90°.

[0027] In this embodiment, multiple horizontal slope protection bricks 01 are first placed on the first conveying channel 1. The multiple slope protection bricks 01 are moved to the left. The rotating part 3 is controlled by a motor to rotate. One of the partition plates 31 is set horizontally to the right and is flush with the conveying surface of the first conveying channel 1. Under the conveying of the first conveying channel 1 and the pushing of the right-side slope protection bricks 01, the slope protection bricks 01 enter and are supported on the partition plate 31. Then the rotating part 3 rotates 90° clockwise. During the rotation, due to the limiting of the guard plate 4, the slope protection bricks 01 are always supported on the partition plate 31. After the partition plate 31 rotates 90°, the slope protection bricks 01 change from a horizontal position to a horizontal position. When the slope protection brick 01 is switched to a vertical position, it slides out from the gap formed by the partition 31 and the bottom of the guard plate 4 under its own weight. The bottom of the slope protection brick 01 is supported on the second conveying channel 2 and moves to the left under the conveying of the second conveying channel 2 until it contacts the stop plate 5 and stops. Repeat the above steps until multiple slope protection bricks 01 are stacked horizontally on the left side of the second conveying channel 2. At this time, the through holes 02 of multiple slope protection bricks 01 are horizontally concentric. At this time, the fork 6 can be horizontally inserted into the through holes 02 of multiple slope protection bricks 01 to remove multiple slope protection bricks 01 from the second conveying channel 2 and carry out subsequent bundling and packaging.

[0028] In this solution, the structure of the through hole 02 of the slope protection brick 01 is cleverly utilized to transform the horizontally discharged slope protection brick 01 into a vertical state and a horizontally stacked discharge form, realizing the discharge of multiple slope protection bricks 01 at one time; in addition, the horizontally stacked slope protection bricks 01 can also facilitate subsequent bundling and packaging.

[0029] See Figure 1 In some possible embodiments, to illustrate how the rotating part is fixed, this embodiment uses a first conveying channel 1 fixed on a support platform 11 that supports the first conveying channel 1. Two opposing first supports 12 are provided on the left side of the support platform 11. The rotating part 3 is rotatably disposed between the two first supports 12. The motor is fixed on one of the first supports 12 and drives the rotating part 3 to rotate.

[0030] In this embodiment, two opposing first supports 12 are arranged on the left side of the support platform 11 perpendicular to the direction of the paper. The two first supports 12 are connected to the rotating part 3. At the same time, the motor is connected to one of the first supports 12. Thus, when the motor is started, the rotating part 3 rotates on the right side of the first conveying channel 1.

[0031] See Figure 1 In some possible embodiments, in order to illustrate how to guide and correct the slope protection bricks 01 on the first conveying channel 1 and to convey the slope protection bricks 01 sequentially to the partition 31, this embodiment adopts a guiding and limiting component 7 provided on the side of the first conveying channel 1.

[0032] The guiding and limiting assembly 7 includes: a first cylinder 73, the cylinder body of the first cylinder 73 is fixed on one side of the first conveying channel 1, and a guide plate 72 is provided at the output end of the first cylinder 73. The guide plate 72 moves laterally above the first conveying channel 1 through the first cylinder 73; a limiting plate 71 is provided on the other side of the first conveying channel 1 and is arranged opposite to the guide plate 72.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the slope protection brick 01 moves between the guide plate 72 and the limiting plate 71, the guide plate 72 approaches the limiting plate 71 through the first cylinder 73. The guide plate 72 and the limiting plate 71 act on both sides of the slope protection brick 01 and squeeze it, which plays a guiding role on the slope protection brick 01 and prevents the slope protection brick 01 from being in a horizontal tilted state before entering the partition 31. At the same time, the guiding and limiting component 7 can also guide the slope protection brick 01 to the partition 31 in sequence.

[0034] See Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, in order to illustrate how the guard plate is fixed, this embodiment uses a second bracket 43 provided on the left side of the support platform 11, and the second bracket 43 fixes the guard plate 4 at the lower right of the rotating part 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, a second bracket 43 is provided on the left side of the support platform 11. The second bracket 43 is connected to the guard plate 4, thereby fixing the guard plate 4 to the left side of the first conveying channel 1.

[0036] See Figure 1 , 2 In some possible embodiments, in order to achieve automatic discharge of the slope protection bricks 01 stacked horizontally on the second conveying channel 2, this embodiment adopts a rotary assembly 8 on the right side of the second conveying channel 2. The rotary assembly 8 is used to drive multiple horizontal forks 6 to rotate. When the forks 6 are located on the upper surface of the right end of the second conveying channel 2, the vertical slope protection bricks 01 are inserted into the forks 6 through the through holes 02, and the rotary assembly 8 drives the slope protection bricks 01 to move.

[0037] In this embodiment, multiple forks 6 move along an elongated circular trajectory driven by the rotary assembly 8. When the fork 6 in the high position is located on the second conveying channel 2, the slope protection brick 01 begins to move to the left and the through hole 02 of the slope protection brick 01 is inserted into the fork 6. When the slope protection brick 01 on the fork 6 reaches a certain number, the rotary assembly 8 drives the fork 6 to exit the second conveying channel 2 laterally. After the fork 6 moves to the low position, since the slope protection brick 01 on the fork does not contact the ground, it is convenient for the workers to bundle and package the slope protection brick 01 on the fork 6. Finally, the AGV trolley moves to the bottom of the bundled slope protection brick 01, lifts the slope protection brick 01, separates the slope protection brick 01 from the fork 6, and then moves the bundled slope protection brick 01 to the stacking position.

[0038] See Figure 1 , 2 3. In some possible embodiments, to illustrate the specific structure of the rotary assembly 8, this embodiment uses the rotary assembly 8 comprising: a rotary housing 81, wherein a closed-loop rotary slide 82 is provided on one side of the rotary housing 81 near the second conveying channel 2; a plurality of sliders 83 are slidably disposed at intervals on the rotary slide 82, and each slider 83 is provided with a corresponding horizontal fork 6; two rotary gears 84 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides inside the rotary housing 81, wherein one of the rotary gears 84 is controlled to rotate by a rotary motor; a chain is tensioned on the two rotary gears 84, and the chain links are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders 83;

[0039] In this embodiment, the movement of the slider 83 along the rotary slide 82 is achieved by the rotation of the chain, which in turn drives the rotation of the fork 6 and the slope protection brick 01.

[0040] See Figure 3In some possible embodiments, in order to avoid the slope protection bricks sliding sideways into the second conveying channel and causing damage to the second conveying channel, this embodiment adopts the rotary slide 82 located above the second conveying channel 2 as an inclined upward lifting section 821. When the fork 6 drives the slope protection brick 01 through the lifting section 821, the slope protection brick 01 is separated from the second conveying channel 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper part of the rotary slide 82 is an upwardly inclined lifting section 821. The lifting section 821 is located above the second conveying channel 2. When the slider 83 and the fork 6 are at the low position of the lifting section 821, the fork 6 is located above the second conveying channel 2. After a certain number of slope protection bricks 01 cooperate with the fork 6, the slider 83 moves to the high position of the lifting section 821 under the drive of the rotary assembly 8. At this time, the bottom of the slope protection bricks 01 is separated from the second conveying channel 2, so as to avoid the slope protection bricks from causing wear to the second conveying channel 2.

[0042] See Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, in order to illustrate that the fork 6 is always horizontally mounted on the slider, this embodiment adopts a rotating shaft 61 that extends horizontally to the left on one side of the fork 6. The rotating shaft 61 passes through the slider 83 and is connected to a downward-facing connecting rod 62. The bottom end of the connecting rod 62 is connected to a counterweight 63.

[0043] Even if the slider 83 tilts during its movement along the rotary slide 82, the counterweight 63 ensures that the fork 6 remains horizontal, and also ensures that the slope protection bricks 01 on the fork 6 remain horizontal.

[0044] According to the above embodiment, since the rotation speed of the second conveying channel 2 is relatively small, the probability of the slope protection brick 01 tipping over can be reduced when the bottom of the slope protection brick 01 just contacts the second conveying channel 2. However, in order to prevent the slope protection brick 01 from tipping over on the second conveying channel 2, this embodiment adopts an auxiliary push plate 32 provided on one side along the rotation direction of the partition 31. The auxiliary push plate 32 is perpendicular to the partition 31, the length of the auxiliary push plate 32 is less than the length of the partition 31, and the distance between the parallel auxiliary push plate 32 and the partition 31 is greater than the thickness of the slope protection brick 01.

[0045] See Figure 2 When the partition 31 is in a horizontal position, the slope protection brick 01 is supported on the partition 31, and the auxiliary push plate 32 does not function at this time. See [link / reference]. Figure 5When the partition 31 rotates clockwise more than 90°, the slope protection brick 01 is vertically supported on the second conveying channel 2. The lower part of the slope protection brick 01 has a certain speed. The auxiliary push plate 32 acts on the upper right side of the slope protection brick 01, pushing the upper part of the slope protection brick 01 to the left, giving the upper part of the slope protection brick 01 a certain speed. In this way, all slope protection bricks 01 have a certain leftward speed, eliminating the possibility of the slope protection brick 01 tipping over on the second conveying channel 2; see also Figure 6 As the slope protection brick 01 continues to move to the left in the second conveying channel 2, the rotating part 3 rotates clockwise at the same time until the bottom of the auxiliary push plate 32 disengages from the upper right side of the slope protection brick 01, and the slope protection brick 01 moves smoothly on the second conveying channel 2 to prevent the slope protection brick 01 from tipping over.

[0046] In some unshown embodiments, the end of the auxiliary push plate 32 may be made of a flexible material, so that when the end of the auxiliary push plate 32 acts on the slope protection brick 01, the flexible material can prevent the slope protection brick 01 from getting stuck between the auxiliary push plate 32 and the partition plate 31.

[0047] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
