Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model generally relates to the field of brewing equipment, and particularly relates to a turnover mechanism, a cellar-entry device and a cellar-entry and cellar-exit device. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional brewing process, workers would dig multiple cellar pits on the ground and then use a traveling crane and a hopper (or a grab bucket) to transfer the distillers' grains to the cellar pit area. This process usually requires manual pouring into the cellar pits and then manual digging out and sending to the wine lifting area again after fermentation is completed. This method not only has a high labor intensity, low efficiency, but also has low precision and a poor on-site environment.

[0003] In response to these problems, the industry has gradually introduced automation technologies. For example, cellar-exit devices dedicated to cellar-exit operations and cellar-entry devices for cellar-entry operations have emerged. These automated devices have improved production efficiency, reduced the labor intensity of workers, and improved the working environment. The cellar-entry and cellar-exit device integrates the functions of cellar-exit and cellar-entry.

[0004] The cellar-entry device usually drives the hopper to lift and flips the hopper to achieve material dumping. The cellar-entry device is configured with a locking mechanism to lock the hopper using the locking mechanism.

[0005] In the prior art, an electric cylinder is used to drive a locking rod to lock the hopper, that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the electric cylinder and the locking rod. Usually, four electric cylinders and four locking rods are required for one hopper, resulting in a relatively high manufacturing cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] In view of the above defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a turnover mechanism, a cellar-entry device and a cellar-entry and cellar-exit device with reduced costs.

[0010] A hopper, on two opposite sides of which a set of locking and cooperating members is respectively provided. One set of locking and cooperating members includes two locking and cooperating members; and

[0011] Locking mechanism, which includes a driving mechanism, a first stop rod and a second stop rod. The driving mechanism drives the first stop rod and the second stop rod to move synchronously. The first stop rod extends into the first locking cavity to prevent the locking fitting in the first locking cavity from disengaging from the first locking cavity. The second stop rod extends into the second locking cavity to prevent the locking fitting in the second locking cavity from disengaging from the second locking cavity.

[0012] In a second aspect, a cellar loading device includes:

[0016] In a third aspect, a cellar loading and unloading device includes:

[0017] A cellar loading device;

[0018] A cellar unloading device that moves along the conveying platform.

[0019] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, by driving the first stop rod and the second stop rod to move synchronously with one driving mechanism, the number of driving mechanisms is reduced, and the production cost is lowered.

[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model and do not limit the utility model. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0029] One embodiment of the present utility model is, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a tipping mechanism 30, comprising: a frame 100; a connecting member 200, which is connected to the frame 100 through a rotary drive mechanism 241, the rotary drive mechanism 241 drives the connecting member 200 to rotate, a first locking member 210 and a second locking member 220 are provided on one connecting member 200, the first locking member 210 is provided with a first locking cavity 211, and the second locking member 220 is provided with a second locking cavity 221; a hopper 230, on two opposite sides of which locking fitting groups are respectively provided, and one locking fitting group includes two locking fittings 231; and a locking mechanism 240, which includes a drive mechanism 241, a first stop rod 242 and a second stop rod 244, the drive mechanism 241 drives the first stop rod 242 and the second stop rod 244 to move synchronously, the first stop rod 242 extends into the first locking cavity 211 to prevent the locking fitting 231 in the first locking cavity 211 from disengaging from the first locking cavity 211, and the second stop rod 244 extends into the second locking cavity 221 to prevent the locking fitting 231 in the second locking cavity 221 from disengaging from the second locking cavity 221.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the frame 100 is connected with two connecting members 200, the two connecting members 200 are respectively connected to the frame 100 through the rotary drive mechanism 241, one connecting member 200 locks the locking fittings 231 on one side of the hopper 230 through a locking mechanism 240, and the two connecting members 200 are used to lock both sides of the hopper 230, so that the hopper 230 moves together with the connecting member 200. When it is necessary to tip the hopper 230, the rotary drive mechanism 241 drives the connecting member 200 to rotate, driving the hopper 230 to tip and achieve discharging.

[0031] The locking mechanism 240 includes a driving mechanism 241, a first stop rod 242, and a second stop rod 244. The driving mechanism 241 can be a motor. The driving mechanism 241 is capable of driving the first stop rod 242 and the second stop rod 244 to move synchronously. A first locking member 210 and a second locking member 220 are provided on the connecting member 200. The first locking member 210 is provided with a first locking cavity 211, and the second locking member 220 is provided with a second locking cavity 221. Locking fitting members 231 are respectively provided on both sides of the hopper 230.

[0032] Taking the position of the unilateral connecting member 200 as an example for detailed description, when locking the connecting member 200 and the hopper 230, the height of the frame 100 is lowered, so that one locking fitting member 231 enters the first locking cavity 211 and one locking fitting member 231 enters the second locking cavity 221. The driving mechanism 241 drives the first stop rod 242 and the second stop rod 244 to move synchronously. The first stop rod 242 extends into the first locking cavity 211 to prevent the locking fitting member 231 in the first locking cavity 211 from disengaging from the first locking cavity 211; the second stop rod 244 extends into the second locking cavity 221 to prevent the locking fitting member 231 in the second locking cavity 221 from disengaging from the second locking cavity 221. Thus, the locking of the hopper 230 is achieved. By driving the first stop rod 242 and the second stop rod 244 to move synchronously with one driving mechanism 241, the number of driving mechanisms 241 is reduced, and the production cost is lowered.

[0033] When separating the connecting member 200 and the hopper 230, the driving mechanism 241 drives the first stop rod 242 and the second stop rod 244 to move synchronously. The first stop rod 242 disengages from the first locking cavity 211, and the first stop rod 242 does not prevent the locking fitting member 231 in the first locking cavity 211 from disengaging from the first locking cavity 211. The second stop rod 244 disengages from the second locking cavity 221, and the second stop rod 244 does not prevent the locking fitting member 231 in the second locking cavity 221 from disengaging from the second locking cavity 221. By raising the height of the frame 100, the connecting member 200 will be separated from the hopper 230.

[0034] Further, a first rack 243 is fixedly connected to the first stop rod 242, a second rack 245 is fixedly connected to the second stop rod 244, and the first rack 243 and the second rack 245 are respectively meshed with a gear 246. The driving mechanism 241 drives the gear 246 to rotate.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the first rack 243 and the second rack 245 are respectively engaged with the gear 246. The gear 246 is located between the first rack 243 and the second rack 245. The driving mechanism 241 drives the gear 246 to rotate, driving the first rack 243 and the second rack 245 to perform synchronous translational motions in opposite directions. The first rack 243 is fixedly connected to the first stop rod 242, and the second rack 245 is fixedly connected to the second stop rod 244. The driving mechanism 241 drives the first rack 243 and the second rack 245 to move, thereby driving the first stop rod 242 and the second stop rod 244 to move synchronously. The gear-rack transmission has the advantages of high transmission efficiency and simple structure.

[0036] Further, the connecting member 200 is fixedly connected with a support member 250. The support member 250 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 251. A spacing for the first rack 243 and the second rack 245 to pass through is provided between the limiting plate 251 and the support member 250. The support member 250 is rotatably connected with a first roller 252 and a second roller 253. One side of the first rack 243 facing away from the second rack 245 is in rolling cooperation with the first roller 252, and one side of the second rack 245 facing away from the first rack 243 is in rolling cooperation with the second roller 253.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the movement of the first rack 243 and the second rack 245 is restricted by the limiting space formed by enclosing the support member 250, the limiting plate 251, the first roller 252 and the second roller 253, so that the first rack 243, the second rack 245 and the gear 246 can be stably matched, ensuring the stability and reliability of the flipping mechanism 30.

[0038] Optionally but not limited to, the axes of the first roller 252, the second roller 253 and the gear 246 are coplanar, and the plane where the axes of the first roller 252, the second roller 253 and the gear 246 are located is perpendicular to the first rack 243 and the second rack 245. This can prevent the first rack 243 from disengaging from the gear 246 and also prevent the second rack 245 from disengaging from the gear 246.

[0039] The rolling cooperation between one side of the first rack 243 facing away from the second rack 245 and the first roller 252 can reduce the friction force received by the first rack 243 during movement and reduce the wear of the first rack 243.

[0040] The rolling cooperation between one side of the second rack 245 facing away from the first rack 243 and the second roller 253 can reduce the friction force received by the second rack 245 during movement and reduce the wear of the second rack 245.

[0041] Further, the first locking member 210 includes a first bottom plate 212 and two first side plates 213 spaced apart from each other. The two first side plates 213 are fixedly connected to the first bottom plate 212 respectively. One ends of the two first side plates 213 away from the first bottom plate 212 form a first opening 214. The locking and mating member 231 enters and exits the first locking cavity 211 from the first opening 214. The second locking member 220 includes a second bottom plate 222 and two second side plates 223 spaced apart from each other. The two second side plates 223 are fixedly connected to the second bottom plate 222 respectively. One ends of the two second side plates 223 away from the second bottom plate 222 form a second opening 224. The locking and mating member 231 enters and exits the second locking cavity 221 from the second opening 224.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the first locking member 210 includes a first bottom plate 212 and two first side plates 213 spaced apart from each other. The first bottom plate 212 and the two first side plates 213 form a "U" - shaped structure. One ends of the two first side plates 213 away from the first bottom plate 212 form a first opening 214. The locking and mating member 231 can enter and exit the first locking cavity 211 through the first opening 214. After the locking and mating member 231 enters the first locking cavity 211, the first stop rod 242 extends into the first locking cavity 211 to prevent the locking and mating member 231 from detaching from the first locking cavity 211.

[0043] The second locking member 220 includes a second bottom plate 222 and two second side plates 223 spaced apart from each other. The second bottom plate 222 and the two second side plates 223 form a "U" - shaped structure. One ends of the two second side plates 223 away from the second bottom plate 222 form a second opening 224. The locking and mating member 231 can enter and exit the second locking cavity 221 through the second opening 224. After the locking and mating member 231 enters the second locking cavity 221, the second stop rod 244 extends into the second locking cavity 221 to prevent the locking and mating member 231 from detaching from the second locking cavity 221.

[0044] Further, a first bending portion 215 is provided at one end of any one of the first side plates 213 away from the first bottom plate 212. The first bending portion 215 bends away from the other first side plate 213.

[0045] A second bending portion 225 is provided at one end of any one of the second side plates 223 away from the second bottom plate 222. The second bending portion 225 bends away from the other second side plate 223.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a first bending portion 215 is provided at one end of any first side plate 213 away from the first bottom plate 212, and the first bending portion 215 bends away from the other first side plate 213. By providing the first bending portion 215, the size of the first opening 214 is enlarged, and when the frame 100 descends, the locking fitting 231 can more easily enter the first opening 214.

[0047] A second bending portion 225 is provided at one end of any second side plate 223 away from the second bottom plate 222, and the second bending portion 225 bends away from the other second side plate 223. By providing the second bending portion 225, the size of the second opening 224 is enlarged, and when the frame 100 descends, the locking fitting 231 can more easily enter the second opening 224.

[0048] Furthermore, the first stop rod 242 passes through the two first side plates 213 to lock the locking fitting 231 in the first locking cavity 211, and the second stop rod 244 passes through the two second side plates 223 to lock the locking fitting 231 in the second locking cavity 221.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present utility model, when the first stop rod 242 passes through the two first side plates 213 and locks the locking fitting 231, the first stop rod 242 can be evenly stressed, improving the reliability of the first stop rod 242 in locking the locking fitting 231.

[0050] When the second stop rod 244 passes through the two second side plates 223 and locks the locking fitting 231, the second stop rod 244 can be evenly stressed, improving the reliability of the second stop rod 244 in locking the locking fitting 231.

[0051] Another embodiment of the present utility model is, referring to Figures 1 to 6 , a cell-entering device 20, comprising: a conveying platform 300; a traveling mechanism 400 that travels along the conveying platform 300; a lifting mechanism 500, the top of which is connected to the conveying platform 300, and a turning mechanism 30 is provided at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 500.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the traveling mechanism 400 can move along the conveying platform 300. The lifting mechanism 500 is connected to the traveling mechanism 400, so that the lifting mechanism 500 can move synchronously with the traveling mechanism 400. The lifting mechanism 500 can drive the tipping mechanism 30 to perform lifting motion. The traveling mechanism 400 drives the tipping mechanism 30 to move along the conveying platform 300 to the upper part of the hopper 230 filled with distillers' grains. The lifting mechanism 500 drives the tipping mechanism 30 to descend until a locking fitting 231 enters the first locking cavity 211 and a locking fitting 231 enters the second locking cavity 221. The driving mechanism 241 drives the first stop rod 242 and the second stop rod 244 to act synchronously. The first stop rod 242 extends into the first locking cavity 211 to prevent the locking fitting 231 in the first locking cavity 211 from disengaging from the first locking cavity 211. The second stop rod 244 extends into the second locking cavity 221 to prevent the locking fitting 231 in the second locking cavity 221 from disengaging from the second locking cavity 221, thereby realizing the locking of the hopper 230. The lifting mechanism 500 drives the tipping mechanism 30 to rise, and the traveling mechanism 400 drives the lifting mechanism 500 to move, bringing the hopper 230 to the cellar area. The rotary driving mechanism 241 drives the connecting member 200 to rotate, driving the hopper 230 to tip, so as to realize discharging. After the discharging of the hopper 230 is completed, the rotary driving mechanism 241 drives the connecting member 200 to reset. The lifting mechanism 500 lifts the hopper 230, and the traveling mechanism 400 drives the hopper 230 to move back to the ground.

[0053] Optionally but not limited to, a rack is provided on the conveying platform 300, and a gear is provided on the traveling mechanism 400. The gear on the traveling mechanism 400 meshes with the rack on the conveying platform 300. The motor is used to drive the gear to rotate, thereby driving the traveling mechanism 400 to move relative to the conveying platform 300. The use of the gear-rack structure for transmission to realize the traveling of the traveling mechanism 400 has the advantage of accurate positioning.

[0054] Further, the conveying platform 300 is provided with a cross beam 310. The cross beam 310 includes a third side plate 311 and a fourth side plate which are oppositely arranged. The third side plate 311 is provided with a third bending portion, and the fourth side plate is provided with a fourth bending portion.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the third side plate 311 is provided with a third bending portion. The third bending portion 312 can improve the strength of the third side plate 311. On the premise of meeting the strength requirement of the cross beam 310, the height of the third side plate 311 can be reduced. The fourth side plate is provided with a fourth bending portion, and the fourth bending portion can improve the strength of the fourth side plate. On the premise of meeting the strength requirement of the cross beam 310, the height of the fourth side plate can be reduced. By reducing the heights of the third side plate 311 and the fourth side plate, the height of the conveying platform 300 is reduced, and the height requirement of the cellar loading device 20 for the site is reduced.

[0056] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing plates 313 are spaced inside the cross beam 310, and the third side plate 311 and the fourth side plate are respectively fixedly connected to the reinforcing plates 313. The reinforcing plates 313 can improve the strength of the cross beam 310.

[0057] Another embodiment of the present utility model is, referring to Figures 1 to 6 , a device for loading and unloading pits, comprising: a pit loading device 20; a pit unloading device 10, which moves along a conveying platform 300.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the pit unloading device 10 is provided with a grab bucket, and the grab bucket transfers the distiller's grains to the pit area. Both the pit unloading device 10 and the pit loading device 20 can move along the conveying platform 300.

[0059] The pit unloading device 10 is connected to the grab bucket through a telescopic arm. A servo electric cylinder can be used to drive the telescopic arm to perform telescopic movement to achieve precise positioning of the grab bucket, and the grab bucket can achieve rapid lifting and lowering. The grab bucket can be controlled to open and close by a servo electric cylinder for rapid grasping. The grab bucket can be configured with a slewing drive to adjust the position of the grab bucket and can perform precise positioning. 3D radar and a vision assistance system can be used to position the grab bucket to improve the accuracy of grab bucket positioning.

[0060] In the pit loading device 20, a lifting mechanism 500 drives a tipping mechanism 30 to lift and lower. The lifting mechanism 500 can be a scissor brace lifting mechanism, and a winch drives the tipping mechanism 30 to lift and lower through a steel wire rope.

[0061] The pit loading device 20 drives the hopper 230 to descend through the lifting mechanism 500. Until the hopper 230 is lower than the horizontal height of the grab bucket, the pit unloading device 10 walks along the conveying platform 300 (in the form of a combination of walking rollers and a rack and pinion) to the material grabbing area, and the grab bucket on the pit unloading device 10 grabs the material. After the material grabbing is completed, the pit unloading device 10 walks along the conveying platform 300 and places the material in the grab bucket into the hopper 230. The slewing drive mechanism in the tipping mechanism can rotate forward and backward to drive the hopper 230 to tip left and right to achieve left and right pouring of the material. Of course, the slewing drive mechanism in the tipping mechanism can be realized by using a servo electric cylinder plus a slewing bearing, so that the hopper 230 can be quickly and precisely tipped for rapid pouring of the material.

[0062] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and the explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solution formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept.
