When the movement direction of the barrel 1 needs to be changed, the walking assembly 2 drives the barrel 1 to move completely to the turntable 34, and the rotating motor 31 works to drive the rotating gear 32 to rotate, driving the outer ring 33 of the slewing bearing 30 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 34 to rotate, so as to adjust the barrel 1 to any angle, thereby changing the travel direction of the barrel 1 and realizing the transfer of materials between each workstation. It has a high degree of automation and a wide range of applications, and can effectively improve work efficiency.
[0026] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the rotating component 3 is an electric turntable 34 driven by a rotating motor 31, a two-stage speed change of a reducer plus an output rotating gear 32 and an outer ring 33, a total of three stages of speed change to achieve a final speed of 0.3rpm. A stainless steel cladding plate is provided on the outside of the rotating component 3, and a guide rail 4 is installed on the stainless steel cladding plate for the driving wheel 22 and the auxiliary wheel 23 to travel along.
[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the walking assembly 2 includes a walking motor 20 installed at the bottom of the barrel 1, a driving shaft 21 coaxially connected to the output shaft of the walking motor 20, and driving wheels 22 installed at both ends of the driving shaft 21. The driving shaft 21 is coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the walking motor 20, and driving wheels 22 are installed at both ends of the driving shaft 21. Two auxiliary wheels 23 are also installed at the rear end of the barrel 1.

[0028] See also Figure 3 The travel switch assembly 5 includes a bracket 50 fixed on the slewing bearing 30, a fork 51 installed on the top of the bracket 50, and a trigger block 52 installed on the lower surface of the turntable 34.

[0030] See also Figure 6 The trigger block 52 is arranged in a step-like shape and has an inclined surface so that when the fork 51 and the trigger block 52 are finally triggered by induction, they can enter the plane, so that the turntable 34 is stabilized and no longer moves forward with a large stroke, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the travel switch assembly 5.
[0031] The limit assembly 6 includes a limit block 60 fixed on the slewing bearing 30 and a limit pin 61 fixed on the turntable 34 and cooperating with the limit block 60. The limit assembly 6 is mainly used for hard limiting of the turntable 34. When the travel switch assembly 5 fails or malfunctions, the limit pin 61 and the limit block 60 are used to achieve mechanical limiting of the turntable 34, so that the turntable 34 can be stopped in time, the movement direction of the barrel 1 can be changed, and it is helpful for the staff to find and deal with the fault point in time.
[0032] In order to better adapt to the travel switch assembly 5, two limit blocks 60 are provided, and the two limit blocks 60 are vertically distributed. The two limit blocks 60 are respectively fixed on the slewing bearing 30 through a fixing plate, and the limit pin 61 is arranged on the side close to the rotating motor 31. In this embodiment, under the limiting action of the limit pin 61 and the limit block 60, the rotating assembly 3 can drive the barrel 1 to rotate 90° clockwise or 90° counterclockwise to change the forward direction of the barrel 1. The movement trajectory of the barrel after changing direction is perpendicular to the original movement trajectory; in actual use, the number and position of the travel switch assembly 5 and the limit assembly 6 can be set as needed. By adjusting the number and position of the fork 51, the trigger block 52, the limit pin 61 and the limit block 60, it is possible to drive the barrel 1 to rotate at any angle. Through the cooperation of the walking assembly 2, the rotating assembly 3, the travel switch assembly 5 and the limit assembly 6, the barrel 1 can be automatically transferred between various stations, with a high degree of automation, which can save manpower and material resources.
[0033] A battery pack 7 for powering the travel motor 20 and the rotating motor 31 and an electric control component 8 for controlling the travel motor 20 and the rotating motor 31 are fixed to the bottom of the barrel 1. The operation of the entire device is controlled by the electric control component 8. The battery pack 7 uses a lithium battery. The battery pack 7 can be quickly removed and sent to a charging room for charging with a special trolley. It can be charged uniformly and is convenient for replacing batteries. The battery pack 7 has a low battery prompt and a battery pack 7 failure prompt. The battery pack 7 has an anti-misinstallation device. The battery pack 7 is connected to the travel motor 20 with an aviation plug, which can quickly disconnect the power supply. The parking accuracy of the barrel 1 is not more than 4mm, and multi-speed control can be used for driving. This embodiment In the example, the barrel 1 is driven with dual speed control, i.e. medium speed and low speed. When the barrel 1 reaches the mixer 11, the press 12 and the intermediate turntable 34 respectively, a sensor sheet compatible with the travel switch assembly 5 is arranged on the bottom surface / platform. The drive limit of the barrel 1 adopts an inductive proximity switch. After sensing the first signal, the barrel 1 immediately enters the low speed driving state from the medium speed. After sensing the second signal, the barrel 1 stops. After the barrel 1 stops and completes its function at the workstation, the reset button on the remote control is manually pressed, and the barrel 1 can travel at medium speed again. A forklift space is reserved at the bottom of the barrel 1. The barrel is transported to the cleaning room by a forklift, and the barrel 1 is cleaned with a cleaning agent. The travel component 2 is controlled by a frequency converter, which not only controls the travel motor 20 but also provides good protection for the travel motor 20. With the control of the frequency converter, the travel motor 20 starts and brakes at a low speed and with a large torque during operation, which effectively reduces the load on the travel motor 20, prolongs the service life of the travel motor 20, and ensures the smooth operation of the barrel 1.
[0034] Both remote control operation and handheld controller can control the forward, backward and stop of the material barrel 1. The frequency converter can realize the low-speed start of the travel motor 20, smooth travel, deceleration and stop, so that the platform car runs smoothly and without impact. The safety protection system of the material barrel 1 is equipped with over-limit protection, short-circuit protection, motor overload protection and other functions. The over-limit protection is achieved through the proximity switch on the material barrel 1 and the sensing device embedded at both ends of the guide rail 4. The frequency converter not only controls the operation of the travel motor 20, but also plays the functions of starting and stopping without impact, overload protection and other functions for the travel motor 20. Light alarms are also provided at both ends of the travel component 2, which emit sound and light alarms when the material barrel 1 moves.
[0035] In order to better protect the rotating assembly 3 , a waterproof enclosure 9 and a stainless steel cladding plate are provided outside the rotating assembly 3 .
[0036] Emergency stop switches 10 are provided at the front and rear ends of the barrel 1 and the electronic control component 8. At the same time, an emergency stop switch 10 is also provided on the wireless remote control, so that the emergency stop switch 10 can be operated in time when needed, and the button can be operated at the fastest speed. Alarm lights are provided at the front and rear ends of the barrel 1 to remind workshop employees that vehicles are driving.
[0037] The working process of the transfer device is as follows: when the material barrel 1 needs to be transferred from the mixer 11 station to the press 12 station, the rotating component 3 is arranged between the mixer 11 station and the press 12 station, and the walking component 2 drives the material barrel 1 to move to the turntable 34. If the guide rail 4 on the turntable 34 is not parallel to the guide rail 4 on the ground / platform, the rotating motor 31 works to drive the turntable 34 to rotate, so that the guide rail 4 on the turntable 34 is docked with the guide rail 4 on the ground / platform. At this time, the walking component 2 works to drive the material barrel 1 to move forward along the guide rail 4, and transfers the material barrel 1 to the press 12 station, thereby realizing the transfer of the material barrel 1 between the mixer 11 station and the press 12 station. It has a high degree of automation, a wide range of applications, saves manpower and material resources, and can effectively improve work efficiency.
