Container transportation has the advantages of high standardization, good sealing, low breakage rate, intensive, large-scale, liner, low cost, and good quality, which greatly improves the safety and efficiency of cargo transportation. At present, the production and manufacturing process of containers involves a process of welding tie bars for container corner columns.

[0034] See Figures 1 to Figure 4 , an auxiliary turning device 100 for container corner column welding is shown in one embodiment of the present application, which includes a conveying mechanism 10 and a turning mechanism 20. The conveying mechanism 10 is used to load and transport the container corner column.

[0035] For example, both ends of the conveying mechanism 10 extend to the loading station and the welding station respectively. The container corner columns to be welded are loaded from the loading station to the conveying mechanism 10, and the conveying mechanism 10 automatically transfers the container corner columns to the welding station, thereby facilitating the welding of the container corner columns with tie bars.

[0036] In this embodiment, the optional conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveying bracket 11 and a plurality of conveying rollers 12, and the plurality of conveying rollers 12 are rotatably mounted on the conveying bracket 11 in a side-by-side manner. The conveying bracket 11 is placed on the ground of the workplace, and is assembled into a frame structure by welding, assembling and other processing methods using structural parts such as angle steel and I-beam, which has a simple structure, low manufacturing difficulty and cost, and good structural stability and support.

[0037] Furthermore, the conveying bracket 11 can be fixed, such as being fixed to the ground of the workplace by four legs; or it can be movable, such as having casters with brakes installed at the bottom ends of the four legs to facilitate movement to change work locations.

[0038] Please continue to refer to Figure 1. In addition, the conveying mechanism 10 also includes a conveying drive 13 and a conveying transmission module 14. The conveying drive 13 is installed on the conveying bracket 11. The conveying transmission module 14 is rotatably installed on the conveying bracket 11 and connected to the conveying drive 13. The conveying transmission module 14 is transmission-connected to all the conveying rollers 12.

[0039] Optionally, the conveying drive member 13 is a motor module, and the conveying transmission module 14 is a sprocket mechanism or a synchronous belt pulley mechanism. The rotational power output by the motor module can be synchronously transmitted to all the conveying rollers 12 via the sprocket mechanism or the synchronous belt pulley mechanism, so that all the conveying rollers 12 become active rollers and can rotate actively. In this way, when the container corner column is transmitted from the previous conveying roller 12 to the next conveying roller 12, continuous driving force from different conveying rollers 12 can be obtained, thereby ensuring that the heavy container corner column is continuously transmitted smoothly and reliably.

[0040] The conveying roller 12 is preferably made of a material with high hardness, such as stainless steel or alloy steel, to avoid deformation or damage when being squeezed or collided with a corner column of a container.

[0041] The welding station mentioned in the present application is specifically a certain section of the conveying mechanism 10, where the corner post of the container stays to receive the reinforcement welding process. Therefore, in order to ensure that the corner post of the container can be more accurately stopped in the welding station, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the conveying mechanism 10 further includes a controller and an in-position sensor, the in-position sensor is arranged at the end of the conveying bracket 11 and is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the conveying drive 13.

[0042] During operation, when the corner post of the container is conveyed into the welding station and the end of the corner post of the container reaches the in-place sensor and the in-place sensor is triggered, the in-place sensor immediately feeds back a signal to the controller, and the controller immediately controls the conveying drive member 13 to stop running, thereby stopping the conveying roller 12 from rotating, so that the corner post of the container is moved into place with high position accuracy.

[0043] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to Figure 4 In addition, the flipping mechanism 20 includes a flipping power source 21, a flipping shaft 22 and a flipping frame 23. The flipping power source 21 is fixed to the conveying mechanism 10. The flipping shaft 22 is rotatably installed on the conveying mechanism 10 and connected to the flipping power source 21. The flipping frame 23 is fixed to the flipping shaft 22, and the flipping frame 23 has a limiting cavity 231. The limiting cavity 231 is located in the transmission path of the container corner column in the conveying mechanism 10.

[0044] In summary, the implementation of the technical solution of this embodiment will have the following beneficial effects: the auxiliary turning device 100 for welding container corner posts of the above solution is applied to the processing occasion of welding and drawing reinforcement of container corner posts. When working, the container corner posts are automatically conveyed to the welding station through the conveying mechanism 10. When the container corner posts arrive at the designated welding station, they will automatically insert into the limit cavity 231 of the turning frame 23. Then the turning power source 21 is started, and the turning power source 21 drives the turning shaft 22 to drive the turning frame 23 to turn automatically, so that the container corner posts fixed in the turning frame 23 can be driven to rotate to any angle position, so as to facilitate the welding process for the welding workers. Compared with the prior art, the turning mechanism 20 in this solution can replace manpower to automatically turn the container corner posts, so that the labor intensity of the welding workers can be greatly reduced, time and labor can be saved, and processing efficiency can be improved. In addition, the turning frame 23 has good support and fixing reliability for the container corner posts, which can effectively prevent the container corner posts from accidentally falling and injuring people during the turning process, and eliminate potential safety hazards.

[0045] It is necessary to explain that, driven by the flip frame 23, the corner post of the container can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise within a range of 180°, and can stop at any angle. For example, when the flip frame 23 stays just above the conveyor roller 12 and is parallel to the conveyor roller 12, the flip frame 23 and the corner post of the container are in a 0° flip position; when the flip frame 23 is erected and arranged vertically with the conveyor roller 12, the flip frame 23 drives the corner post of the container to flip to a 90° flip position; when the flip frame 23 rotates to the outside of the conveyor bracket 11 and is parallel to the conveyor roller 12 again, the flip frame 23 drives the corner post of the container to a 180° flip position.

[0046] In addition, based on any of the above embodiments, the flip mechanism 20 further includes a plurality of flip supports 24 , which are arranged on the conveying mechanism 10 at intervals along the axial direction of the flip shaft 22 , and are rotatably connected to the flip shaft 22 , respectively.

[0047] A plurality of flip supports 24 are provided which are rotatably connected to different parts of the flip shaft 22, respectively, to realize rotational support and installation positioning of the flip shaft 22, which helps to enhance the loading support capacity and stability of the flip shaft 22 for the flip frame 23 and the corner column of the container, and prevents the flip shaft 22 from being locally deformed due to insufficient rigidity, resulting in the flip shaft 22 being unable to rotate normally and generating friction noise during rotation.

[0048] Optionally, the tilt support 24 may be a bearing seat.

[0049] Furthermore, considering that the corner post of the container is a strip-shaped component with a large length, in order to ensure that the flipping of the corner post of the container is safer and more reliable and to prevent the corner post of the container from slipping out of the flip frame 23 and injuring the welding worker during the flipping process, at least two flip frames 23 are provided in the present application, and at least two flip frames 23 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the flip shaft 22 and are fixedly connected to the flip shaft 22.

[0050] That is, the corner posts of the container are inserted into the limiting cavities 231 of at least two flip frames 23 at the same time, and the side walls of at least two flip frames 23 and the corner posts of the container form multi-point support positioning, which helps to ensure that the container is stable and not skewed during the angle flipping process.

[0051] In order to ensure that the container corner column moving on the conveying mechanism 10 can smoothly pass into the flip frame 23, in the initial state, the flip frame 23 is arranged horizontally with the conveying roller 12, and the flip frame 23 includes a bottom frame rod, which is flush with the conveying roller 12 or lower than the conveying roller 12.

[0052] In addition, based on any of the above embodiments, the turnover mechanism 20 further includes a positioning bracket 25, which is installed on the conveying mechanism 10, and the positioning bracket 25 is arranged in one-to-one alignment with the turnover frame 23. When the turnover frame 23 drives the corner column of the container to flip to a 90° upright position, the corner column of the container will slide down in the limiting cavity 231 by itself under the action of gravity and fall onto the positioning bracket 25. The positioning bracket 25 assists the turnover frame 23 in supporting and positioning the corner column of the container, thereby ensuring that the angle posture and position of the container are stable.

[0053] Furthermore, the positioning bracket 25 is provided with a positioning step 251, and the width of the positioning step 251 decreases along the conveying direction of the container corner column in the conveying mechanism 10. After the container corner column falls into the positioning step 251, the freedom of the container corner column in the X-axis and Y-axis directions in the horizontal plane can be simultaneously restricted, so that the posture of the container corner column in the 90° vertical position is stable and reliable, which helps to improve the quality and accuracy of the reinforcement welding.

[0054] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the auxiliary turning device 100 for welding container corner posts further includes an additional support frame 30, which is installed on the outside of the conveying support 11 and arranged horizontally with the conveying roller 12. When the turning frame 23 drives the container corner post to turn to a 180° position, the container corner post lies flat on the outside of the conveying support 11 and is supported and positioned by the additional support frame 30. At this time, the additional support frame 30 and the turning frame 23 cooperate to support and fix the container corner post, thereby improving the positioning and supporting effect of the container corner post.

[0055] For example, the present application shows an embodiment in which two additional support frames 30 are provided, and the two additional support frames 30 are arranged side by side and spaced apart along the length direction of the conveying bracket 11 (that is, the conveying direction of the container corner column), so as to obtain a better supporting effect for the container corner column flipped to the 180° position.

[0056] Specifically, the additional support frame 30 in the above embodiment includes a horizontal support rod 31, a vertical support rod 32 and a buffer pad 33. One end of the horizontal support rod 31 is connected to the conveying bracket 11, the vertical support rod 32 is connected to the other end of the horizontal support rod 31, and the buffer pad 33 is installed on the horizontal support rod 31.

[0057] The horizontal support rod 31 can be used to support and position the container corner column longitudinally, the vertical support rod 32 abuts against the side wall of the container corner column to limit the lateral displacement of the container corner column, and the buffer pad 33 installed on the horizontal support rod 31 can avoid rigid collision with the horizontal support rod 31 and damage and noise pollution when the container just flips over and falls on the horizontal support rod 31.

[0058] Optionally, the buffer pad 33 may be a plastic pad or the like.

[0059] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0060] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
