However, one or more embodiments may also be implemented by those skilled in the art without these specific details.

[0028] The embodiment of the utility model discloses a fermented vinegar mash transport system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fermented vinegar mash transport system includes a plurality of fermentation tanks 1 arranged in parallel, a transport platform 2, a conveying device 3, a plurality of AGV transport vehicles 4 and a turning device 5.

[0029] The fermentation tank 1 is provided with a mash turner 101 and a discharger 102. The mash turner 101 turns the vinegar mash materials such as wine mash, bran, and rice bran inside out. The discharger 102 is perpendicular to the running direction of the mash turner 101 and is horizontally arranged on the mash turner 101 for discharging the vinegar mash horizontally to the outer channel of the fermentation tank 1. The mash turner 101 and the discharger 102 are both existing technologies, and the specific structure will not be repeated.

[0030] The transfer platform 2 is spaced apart from the fermentation tank 1, and the transfer platform 2 is provided with a tunnel 201 sunken in the ground, and a hopper 202 is provided in the tunnel 201. The conveying device 3 is a screw conveyor, one end of which is arranged in the tunnel 201, and its feed port is located below the discharge port of the hopper 202.

[0031] The AGV transfer vehicle 4 travels in the passage between the fermentation tanks 1, and can load the fermented mash in the fermentation tank 1 from the discharging machine 102 and transport it to the transfer platform 2. The top opening of the AGV transfer vehicle 4 is used to receive the material. The AGV transfer vehicle 4 includes an AGV chassis 401 and a material frame 402 fixedly mounted on the AGV chassis 401. The top of the material frame 402 is provided with an opening. The volume of the material frame 402 is 1m 3 In order to facilitate the separate cleaning of the material frame 402, the material frame 402 and the AGV chassis 401 can be detachably fixedly connected to facilitate separate cleaning. The AGV chassis 401 has a load of 1500Kg, uses lithium iron phosphate as a DC power supply, uses natural navigation and QR code navigation, has a positioning accuracy of ±10mm, and a rated speed of 1m / s when unloaded and 0.6m / s when fully loaded.

[0032] The turning device 5 is arranged on the transfer platform 2, and can carry and fix the AGV transfer vehicle 4 and turn it over. Figure 2-4 As shown, the flipping device 5 includes a fixed frame 501, a rotating assembly, a carrier 507 and a clamping assembly. The fixed frame 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the transfer platform 2, a part of the rotating assembly is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 501, and the other part of the rotating assembly can rotate relative to the fixed frame 501. The carrier 507 and the clamping assembly are respectively fixedly connected to the part of the rotating assembly that can rotate relative to the fixed frame 501. The carrier 507 is used to carry the AGV transfer vehicle 4, and the clamping assembly is used to fix the AGV transfer vehicle 4 on the carrier 507.

[0033] Specifically, the slewing assembly includes a first slewing bearing 502, a second slewing bearing 503, a connecting rod 504 and a driving component 505. The bottom of the inner ring of the first slewing bearing 502 and the bottom of the inner ring of the second slewing bearing 503 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed frame 501 to ensure that the inner rings thereof remain stationary relative to the fixed frame 501. The first slewing bearing 502 and the second slewing bearing 503 are arranged at intervals. The top of the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502 and the top of the outer ring of the second slewing bearing 503 are fixedly connected through a connecting rod 504, and the bottom of the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502 and the bottom of the outer ring of the second slewing bearing 503 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform 507. The driving component 505 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 501, and the driving component 505 is used to drive the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502 to rotate relative to the fixed frame 501. Driven by the driving component 505, the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502, the outer ring of the second slewing bearing, the platform 507 and the connecting rod 504 rotate synchronously around the axis of the slewing bearing. The slewing bearing is a mature mechanical transmission component in the prior art, and a rolling element of a ball or roller and a cage are arranged inside it, so as to realize the relative rotation between its inner ring and outer ring, and it has a high load capacity, so as to reliably support and guide the rotation of the carrier 507. The specific internal structure of the slewing bearing is not repeated here. Since the top of the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502 and the top of the outer ring of the second slewing bearing 503 are fixedly connected by the connecting rod 504, the bottom of the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502 and the bottom of the outer ring of the second slewing bearing 503 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the carrier 507, when the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502 is driven to rotate by the driving component 505, the outer ring of the second slewing bearing 503 also rotates synchronously.

[0034] Specifically, a plurality of gear teeth are provided on the outer ring surface of the first slewing bearing 502, and the output end of the driving component 505 is meshedly connected with the outer ring of the first slewing bearing 502. The driving component 505 is a motor, and a driving gear is provided at the output end of the motor.

[0035] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a main electric push rod component 508, a first auxiliary electric push rod component 509, and a second auxiliary electric push rod component (not shown in the figure, refer to the position of the first auxiliary electric push rod component 509). The main electric push rod component 508 is fixed on the connecting rod 504, the first auxiliary electric push rod component 509 is provided with two and oppositely fixed to the outer ring side walls of the first slewing bearing 502, and the second auxiliary electric push rod component is provided with two and oppositely fixed to the outer ring side walls of the second slewing bearing 503. In this way, the main electric push rod component 508, the first auxiliary electric push rod component 509, and the second auxiliary electric push rod component form a multi-point clamping for five different positions of the AGV transfer vehicle 4. A clamping plate is set at the moving end of the main electric push rod component 508, the width of which is slightly larger than the width of the material frame 402 of the AGV transfer vehicle 4, and the length is small, only covering a small part of the top of the material frame 402, so as to ensure that the clamping plate firmly abuts the two sides of the top of the material frame 402, and reduce the interference with the unloading when the AGV transfer vehicle 4 is turned over.

[0036] In order to improve the safety of daily operation, a safety lock component 510 is provided between the fixed frame 501 and the platform 507, and the safety lock component 510 is used to lock and unlock the relative position of the fixed frame 501 and the platform 507. Only after the clamping assembly clamps the AGV transfer vehicle 4 in place, the relative position of the fixed frame 501 and the platform 507 is unlocked by the safety lock component 510, so that the platform 507 can be driven to rotate, thereby improving the safety of operation.

[0037] The working process of the fermented vinegar mash transport system is as follows:

[0038] When a single fermentation tank 1 needs to discharge, the external central control system sends a command to the AGV transfer vehicle 4, and the AGV transfer vehicle 4 automatically drives along the preset route to the passage next to the fermentation tank 1, docks with the discharge machine 102 set in the fermentation tank 1, and after the discharge reaches the set weight, the AGV transfer vehicle 4 continues to automatically drive along the preset route to the platform 507. The external central control system controls the movement of the main electric push rod component 508, the first auxiliary electric push rod component 509, and the second auxiliary electric push rod component to form a multi-point clamping of the AGV transfer vehicle 4 at five different positions.

[0039] Afterwards, the external central control system controls the safety lock component 510 to unlock, and then controls the driving component 505 to move, driving the first slewing bearing 502 and the second slewing bearing 503 to rotate. Since the outer ring top of the first slewing bearing 502 and the outer ring top of the second slewing bearing 503 are fixedly connected by the connecting rod 504, the outer ring bottom of the first slewing bearing 502 and the outer ring bottom of the second slewing bearing 503 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the carrier 507, thereby ensuring that the first slewing bearing 502 and the second slewing bearing 503 rotate synchronously.

[0040] When the platform 507 rotates 180°, the AGV transfer vehicle 4 on the platform 507 also turns 180°, and the vinegar mash in the AGV transfer vehicle 4 is poured into the hopper 202 .

[0041] After unloading is completed, the external central control system controls the driving component 505 to move in the reverse direction, causing the platform 507 to rotate 180° in the reverse direction and return to its original position. The external central control system controls the safety lock component 510 to lock the fixed frame 501 and the platform 507, and then controls the main electric push rod component 508, the first auxiliary electric push rod component 509 and the second auxiliary electric push rod component to move in the reverse direction and return to its original position, thereby releasing the clamping of the AGV transfer vehicle 4. The AGV transfer vehicle 4 returns along the set route to standby or continues to discharge materials from another fermentation tank 1.

[0042] Of course, in order to enable the external central control system to know whether the AGV transfer vehicle 4 is on the platform 507 in time, so as to execute the corresponding control program, a plurality of sensors electrically connected to the external central control system can be arranged on the platform 507 to detect whether the AGV transfer vehicle is on the platform 507. The sensor can be an inductive sensor or a weighing sensor, both of which are mature existing technologies, and the structure and model are not described in detail.

[0043] The fermented vinegar mash transport system can be used in conjunction with a vinegar sprinkling device in a vinegar sprinkling process. The vinegar sprinkling device is arranged on the same layer or the next layer of the fermentation tank 1 , and the vinegar mash is transported to the vinegar sprinkling device through the transport device 3 .

[0044] The fermented vinegar mash transfer system uses an AGV transfer vehicle 4 to transport the vinegar mash from the fermentation tank 1 to the transfer platform 2, and then pours the vinegar mash in the AGV transfer vehicle 4 into the hopper 202 through the turning device 5, and finally the vinegar mash is transported to the next process by the conveying device 3. The transfer system realizes the automation and flexibility of vinegar mash transfer, and is also convenient for equipment cleaning and maintenance.

[0045] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the utility model. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the utility model, the utility model can also be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
