Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of loading and transportation testing technology, and in particular to an intelligent bucket elevator. Background Technology

[0002] A bucket elevator, also known as a bucket hoist, is a specialized device that uses buckets uniformly fixed to a traction component (such as a belt or chain) to continuously transport bulk materials vertically or at steep angles. In warehouses storing tanks, intelligent tank elevators are required. These bucket elevators are specifically designed to meet the vertical transport needs of tanks. They come in different types, including plate chain, ring chain, and belt elevators, and can be flexibly selected according to the size, weight, and shape of the tanks. The buckets are specially designed to fit the tank shape and size, and are often lined with cushioning material to prevent damage to the tank.

[0003] Existing tank lifting devices include a moving mechanism with a gripping mechanism above it. The gripping mechanism grips the tank according to its size and position, and then moves it to the appropriate position under the drive of the moving mechanism. This device can only transport one tank at a time, which is inefficient. When the lifting machine grips and stores several tanks, the center of gravity of the device will change with the number of tanks. The existing lifting machine moving mechanism cannot adjust the center of gravity of the device, resulting in poor stability. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-11 A smart bucket elevator includes a main plate 1, with a circular storage slot 12 extending through the upper end of the main plate 1. A first slot 11 communicating with the storage slot 12 is also provided at the upper end of the main plate 1.

The main body plate 1 is symmetrically provided with a second through hole 413 communicating with the limiting grooves 418. The drive shaft ends of the two second motors 412 are respectively fixedly connected with threaded rods 414. The two threaded rods 414 are respectively configured to engage with the limiting body 415 through threaded engagement.

[0037] The two limiting bodies 415 are respectively provided with a third placement groove 416 on their sides.

[0038] Specifically, the two second motors 412 drive the threaded rods 414 to rotate, and the two threaded rods 414 cooperate to drive the limiting body 415 to move up and down. The second motors 412 control the fifth electric telescopic rods 42 to move to the position below the tank through the controller. Then, the two fifth electric telescopic rods 42 extend, driving the grippers 45 to move to the side of the tank. Then, the two seventh electric telescopic rods 44 extend at the same time, and at the same time, they bring the two grippers 45 to squeeze the side of the tank.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main body plate 1 is provided with a storage mechanism 3 in the storage slot 12.

[0040] The storage mechanism 3 includes a plurality of first through holes 31 that are opened through the side of the main body plate 1.

[0042] Several anti-slip protrusions are respectively provided on the upper ends of several first support plates 34 and second support plates 37.

[0043] Specifically, the fourth electric telescopic rod 36 and the third electric telescopic rod 32, located at the same height, extend and respectively drive the second support plate 37 and the first support plate 34 to move into the storage slot 12, thereby catching the tank and storing several tanks at a predetermined height.

[0044] In this embodiment, the lower end of the main body plate 1 is provided with an adjustment and moving mechanism 2 for moving the device.

[0045] The adjustment and movement mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 21 fixedly disposed below the main body plate 1. The fixed plate 21 has first placement grooves 23 symmetrically opened on its side. The fixed plate 21 has two dual-axis electric telescopic rods 22 fixedly connected in the two first placement grooves 23 respectively. The telescopic ends of the two dual-axis electric telescopic rods 22 are fixedly connected to guide blocks 24 respectively. The sides of the two guide blocks 24 have second placement grooves 25 respectively. The sides of the two guide blocks 24 are slidably engaged with the first placement grooves 23 respectively.

[0046] Each of the four guide blocks 24 is fixedly connected to a first electric telescopic rod 26 in the second placement groove 25.

[0047] Specifically, when the values ​​of the pressure sensors 29 at the extension ends of the four second electric telescopic rods 27 change, the controller adjusts the extension amount of the four first electric telescopic rods 26 to keep the values ​​of the four pressure sensors 29 within a safe range.

[0048] In use, the device is placed in the warehouse, and then the adjusting and moving mechanism 2 is activated. The adjusting and moving mechanism 2 moves the device to the tank that needs to be lifted or stored. Then, the two second motors 412 are started, driving the threaded rods 414 to rotate. The two threaded rods 414 work together to move the limiting body 415 up and down. The second motors 412 control the fifth electric telescopic rods 42 to move to the position below the tank through the controller. Then, the two fifth electric telescopic rods 42 extend, driving the grippers 45 to move to the side of the tank. Then, the two seventh electric telescopic rods 44 extend simultaneously, driving the two grippers 45 to squeeze the side of the tank. Then, the two fifth electric telescopic rods 42 retract, driving the tank to move above the conveyor belt 48. Then, the first motor 41 is started, driving the rotating rod 47 to rotate. The rotating rod 47 drives the rotating roller 46 to rotate. The rotating roller 46 drives the conveyor belt 48 to move, thereby moving the tank to the storage slot 12, thus achieving stable lifting of the tank and improving the stability of the device.

[0049] When the can is on the conveyor belt 48, the two second motors 412 start again, and the second motors 412 drive the conveyor belt 48 to a suitable storage height. Then the first motor 41 starts, and at the same time, the fourth electric telescopic rod 36 and the third electric telescopic rod 32, which are at the same height, extend and drive the second support plate 37 and the first support plate 34 to move into the storage slot 12, thereby catching the can and storing several cans at a predetermined height, which facilitates the storage of the cans and improves the storage efficiency.

[0050] When the device is lifting or lowering the tank, the pressure sensor 29 values ​​at the extension ends of the four second electric telescopic rods 27 change. The controller adjusts the extension amount of the four first electric telescopic rods 26 to keep the values ​​of the four pressure sensors 29 within a safe range, thereby improving the safety of the device.
