[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clear and complete, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a technical solution: a bidirectional driven container tipping machine, comprising... A base frame 1 has a lifting hydraulic seat 2 fixedly mounted on its top. A support frame 3 is fixedly mounted on the side of the lifting hydraulic seat 2, and the bottom of the support frame 3 is fixedly connected to the base frame 1. A telescopic platform 4 is mounted on the top of the lifting hydraulic seat 2. A hinge seat 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the telescopic platform 4, and a hydraulic telescopic rod 6 is rotatably mounted on the top of the hinge seat 5. A rotating seat 7 is fixedly mounted on the top control end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 6, and a crossbar assembly is hingedly mounted on the top of the rotating seat 7. The crossbar assembly includes a tripod 14, and a fixed platform 15 is fixedly mounted on the top of the tripod 14. The bottom of the tripod 14 is connected to the rotating platform 15. The base 7 is hinged, and the bottom of the fixed platform 15 is fixedly installed with a docking frame 16, which is cross-connected with the tripod 14. The bottom of the docking frame 16 is fixedly installed with a docking column 17, which is engaged with the docking groove 11. The cross rod assembly design, in which the docking frame 16 and the tripod are cross-connected, improves the structural connection strength. The bottom of the docking frame 16 is connected with two sets of docking columns 17. By fixing the docking columns 17 in different sets, a rotation base point is formed. Then, the cross rod assembly is pushed out by the hydraulic telescopic rod 6. The cross rod assembly will rotate around the rotation base point, thereby realizing the bidirectional rotation function.

[0018] A hydraulic connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the lifting hydraulic base 2. A bidirectional hydraulic base 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic connecting pipe 8 away from the lifting hydraulic base 2. A docking seat 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the bidirectional hydraulic base 9, and a docking groove 11 is opened on the top of the docking seat 10. The docking groove 11 is snapped into the cross bar assembly. The lifting hydraulic base 2 and the bidirectional hydraulic base 9 are synchronously connected through the hydraulic connecting pipe 8. By introducing hydraulic oil into the lifting hydraulic base 2, the cross bar assembly and the docking seat 10 can be lifted synchronously, allowing the entire container tilting machine to adjust the clamping height, adapt to containers of different heights, and improve the practicality of the equipment.

[0019] A fixing groove 12 is provided on the side of the docking seat 10, and a fixing ring 13 is rotatably installed in the fixing groove 12. A reinforcing shaft 18 is fixedly installed on the side of the docking column 17, and the reinforcing shaft 18 is engaged with the fixing groove 12. A U-shaped groove 19 is provided on the side of the fixing ring 13, and the reinforcing shaft 18 is slidably connected with the U-shaped groove 19. A meshing gear 20 is installed on the circumferential side of the fixing ring 13. A control groove 21 is provided on the side of the docking seat 10, and a driving gear 22 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the control groove 21. The driving gear 22 is engaged with the meshing gear 20. The meshing gear 20 is connected by a simple driving gear 22. When the meshing gear 20 is driven by the driving gear 22, the meshing gear 20 and the fixed ring 13 rotate synchronously in the fixed groove 12. During the rotation, the opening of the U-shaped groove 19 on the side of the fixed ring 13 will be in two states: upward and downward. In the upward state, the reinforcing shaft 18 is in a movable state. In the downward state, the fixed ring 13 and the docking seat 10 cooperate to form a circular rotating groove, and the reinforcing shaft 18 is restricted in the circular rotating groove, providing a basis for the device to achieve bidirectional flipping.

[0020] A limiting block 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the docking seat 10, and a rotary motor 24 is fixedly installed on the side of the limiting block 23. The limiting block 23 is designed to limit the position of the fixing ring 13 and restrict the fixing ring 13 within the fixing groove 12 provided on the side of the docking seat 10, thus ensuring the stability of the flipping process.

[0021] Two sets of rotary motors 24 are provided, and the output end of the rotary motors 24 is synchronously connected to the drive gear 22.

[0022] A connecting platform 25 is slidably mounted on the top of the fixed platform 15, and a housing 26 is clamped and connected to the bottom of the connecting platform 25.

[0023] A coiling mechanism 27 is fixedly installed on the side of the bidirectional hydraulic base 9, a connecting block 28 is fixedly installed on the side of the docking frame 16, and a connecting steel cable 29 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting block 28. The end of the connecting steel cable 29 away from the connecting block 28 is fixedly connected to the coiling mechanism 27. The connecting steel cable 29 with coiling function is fixedly installed on the side of the crossbar assembly and the base frame 1. The structure design is simple and can not only provide additional protection for the crossbar assembly flipping process, effectively prevent over-flipping, reduce the risk of equipment damage and cargo falling, and improve the safety of operation, but also guide the docking seat 10 and the docking groove 11 to snap together during the bidirectional drive reset process, improving the accuracy and convenience of operation.

[0024] In practical use: When the vehicle carrying the container arrives at the working area of ​​the base frame 1, hydraulic oil is introduced into the lifting hydraulic seat 2, and the hydraulic connecting pipe 8 synchronously connects the lifting hydraulic seat 2 and the bidirectional hydraulic seat 9, simultaneously raising the crossbar assembly and the docking seat 10, so that the connecting platform 25 at the top of the fixed platform 15 and the container body 26 are at a suitable connection height. After aligning the connecting platform 25 and the container body 26, the crossbar assembly and the docking seat 10 are lowered to connect the connecting platform 25 and the container body 26. At this time, the connection between the container and the tilting equipment is completed. When it is necessary to tilt the container, one set of bidirectional hydraulic seats 9 is driven according to the opening direction of the container door. The rotary motor 24 drives the drive gear 22 to rotate. The drive gear 22 meshes with the meshing gear 20 and rotates. During the rotation of the meshing gear 20, the meshing gear 20 and the fixed ring 13 rotate synchronously within the fixed groove 12. During the rotation of the fixed ring 13, the opening of the U-shaped groove 19 on its side can be in two states: upward and downward. In the upward state, the reinforcing shaft 18 is in a movable state. In the downward state, the fixed ring 13 and the docking seat 10 cooperate to form a circular rotating groove, and the reinforcing shaft 18 is confined within the circular rotating groove. This provides the basis for the device to achieve bidirectional flipping, greatly improving the handling of different types of boxes by the flipping machine. The adaptability of containers eliminates the need for adjusting equipment or container orientation based on container door position, unlike traditional equipment. This saves operation time and improves efficiency. Therefore, by adjusting the U-shaped groove 19 of one side of the fixing ring 13 upwards according to the container door's orientation, the reinforcing shaft 18 at the upward end of the U-shaped groove 19 is no longer restricted to the top of the docking groove 11. The fixing shaft at the end closest to the container door is positioned within the circular groove formed by the fixing ring 13 and the docking seat 10. At this point, simply activating the hydraulic telescopic rod 6 will push the entire fixed platform 15 structure, causing it to rotate around the restricted end. When the fixed shaft 18 rotates, the connecting platform 25 and its bottom box 26 will rotate synchronously with the fixed platform 15 until the door of the box 26 is in an upward loading and unloading posture, completing the rotation operation. In addition, the connecting steel cable 29 with a retraction function is fixedly installed on the side of the crossbar assembly and the base frame 1. The structure design is simple and can not only provide additional protection for the rotation process of the crossbar assembly, effectively prevent over-rotation, reduce the risk of equipment damage and cargo falling, and improve the safety of operation, but also guide the docking seat 10 and the docking groove 11 to snap into place during the bidirectional drive reset process, improving the accuracy and convenience of operation.
