Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of container production auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to a feeding device for separating, cutting and feeding container corner fittings. Background Art

[0002] Container corner fittings are an important part of containers, usually made of high-strength cast steel, and have the characteristics of being strong and durable. These corner fittings are located at the eight corners of the container and play a role in connection and fixation. They are designed with standardized shapes and sizes to facilitate convenient and safe loading, unloading and stacking during container transportation. There are holes on the corner fittings for connecting with lifting appliances, forklifts and other loading and unloading equipment, so as to realize the handling of the container. In addition, the corner fittings also play a role in bearing and protecting, dispersing pressure when the containers are stacked to prevent the box body from being damaged.

[0003] In the four-in-one casting process, four corner fittings can be cast at one time, and these four corner fittings are connected by connecting risers. These connecting risers need to be cut off in subsequent processes. At present, the transfer of the four-in-one corner fittings from the stockpile to the processing station is completed by manual handling, and this method has many problems and deficiencies.

[0004] First of all, it is time-consuming and laborious, which is a significant problem. The four-in-one corner fitting blank is large in volume and heavy in weight, and the manual handling process is very time-consuming and laborious. Workers need to spend a lot of time and physical strength to carry the blank from the stockpile area to the processing station, which greatly reduces the overall efficiency of the production line. During the handling process, workers need to repeatedly perform actions such as lifting, moving and placing. These operations are not only heavy, but also have a high repetition frequency, greatly increasing the labor intensity of workers.

[0005] Secondly, the handling efficiency is low. Due to the weight and volume of the four-in-one corner fitting blank, usually multiple workers need to work together to complete one handling. It is very difficult for one person to independently complete the entire handling process, which not only increases the manpower requirement, but also causes waste of working hours. The coordinated operation of multiple people is also prone to inconsistent coordination, further reducing the handling efficiency.

[0006] In addition, there are significant safety hazards in manual handling. The four-in-one corner fitting blank is heavy and difficult to control, and accidents such as workers dropping the blank, slipping or colliding are likely to occur during the handling process, which may cause injuries to workers. This not only endangers the safety of workers, but also may cause damage to equipment and blanks. In order to minimize these safety risks, enterprises need to invest additional resources in safety training and the provision of protective equipment, which further increases the cost.

[0007] Furthermore, manual handling is prone to causing worker fatigue and occupational diseases. Prolonged heavy physical labor can easily make workers fatigued, thereby affecting work efficiency and quality. Workers engaged in long-term heavy physical handling work may also face the risk of occupational diseases such as lumbar spine and joint problems, which can affect the health and quality of life of workers.

[0008] Finally, the instability and unpredictability during the handling process are also major problems. Manual handling is easily affected by subjective factors such as worker emotions and physical states, resulting in instability during the handling process. Sometimes, due to fatigue or operational errors of workers, it may affect the connection of subsequent processes and the continuity of the production line, thus affecting the execution of the overall production plan.

[0009] In summary, there are many problems and deficiencies in the current manual handling process of the four-in-one corner fitting blank from the stacking area to the processing station, such as time-consuming, laborious, low efficiency, safety hazards, the risk of worker fatigue and occupational diseases, and instability during the handling process. These problems seriously affect production efficiency, product quality, and the health and safety of workers, and need to be solved by introducing automated equipment and optimizing the handling process.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the rotating support includes a pedestal, a vertical rotating shaft, and a gear ring. The vertical rotating shaft is installed on the pedestal, the turntable is installed on the vertical rotating shaft through a bearing, the gear ring is installed on the turntable, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the gear ring through a gear and drives the turntable to rotate.

[0013] In the above technical solution, preferably, the lifting swing arm is a parallel four-link structure.

[0014] In the above technical solution, preferably, the hook assembly includes two flexible chains connected to the vertical arm rod. The two flexible chains are in a V-shape. The lower ends of the flexible chains are connected to scissor hook claws. The scissor hook claws have a handle part and a hook part that is driven to clamp by closing the handle part. The two handle parts of the scissor hook claws are respectively connected to the flexible chains.

[0015] The utility model provides a feeding device for separating and cutting container corner fittings. The device has the functions of simple structure, stable operation, adaptation to harsh environments, and assisting workers in handling, and has many advantages and remarkable effects.

[0019] Most importantly, the device can be used as an auxiliary device for workers to move container corner fittings, greatly reducing the working intensity. Through the automatic feeding and cutting functions, workers no longer need to perform heavy handling and operations, effectively reducing the labor burden. Workers only need to perform simple monitoring and operations, greatly reducing the physical consumption and work fatigue of workers.

[0020] In addition, the device improves work efficiency. The automatic feeding and cutting process makes the production process more fluent, reduces the time and errors of manual operations, and improves the efficiency and product quality of the entire production line. The high production capacity can not only meet market demands, but also shorten the delivery cycle and improve the market competitiveness of the enterprise.

[0021] In terms of safety, the automatic operation of the device reduces the chance of workers directly contacting heavy objects and cutting equipment, reducing the risk of work-related injuries. The safety protection measures of the equipment further ensure the operation safety and health of workers, creating a safer working environment.

[0022] In summary, the container corner fitting separation, cutting, and loading device has significant advantages and effects in terms of simple structure, stable operation, adaptability to harsh environments, reduction of labor intensity, and improvement of efficiency. The introduction of this device can not only optimize the production process, improve production efficiency and product quality, but also improve the working conditions and safety of workers, significantly enhancing the overall competitiveness and market performance of the enterprise.
