Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of transportation equipment technology. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a transportation device and a transportation system. Background Art

[0002] For example, graphitized crucibles and other materials are prone to shifting and tipping during bulk transport via transport equipment. This not only leads to material loss and waste, but also pollutes the environment and threatens personal safety. Common transport equipment often features anti-displacement devices such as guardrails or shields. However, these devices, due to their tall and long structures, are not conducive to pushing out and transporting graphitized crucibles, thus affecting their transport efficiency.

[0003] In view of this, there is an urgent need to provide a transport device that can improve the material transfer efficiency while ensuring smooth transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to at least solve the technical problems mentioned above, the present disclosure proposes a transport device in multiple aspects.

[0005] In the first aspect, the present disclosure provides a transport device, comprising: a baffle, a sliding member, a driving mechanism, and a vehicle plate body; the vehicle plate body has a receiving hole and a plane on the main board; the baffle is hinged to the side frame of the receiving hole; the sliding member is placed on the plane on the main board; the driving mechanism is placed at the bottom of the vehicle plate body and connected to the baffle to drive the baffle to retract into the vehicle plate body.

[0006] In some embodiments, at least two sliding members are included, and the at least two sliding members are arranged side by side along the moving direction of the transport device.

[0007] In some embodiments, the sliding member includes a sliding rod, and the axis of the sliding rod is arranged perpendicular to the moving direction of the transport device.

[0008] In some embodiments, the sliding member includes a roller, and the axis of the roller is arranged parallel to the moving direction of the transport device.

[0009] In some embodiments, a plurality of partitions are further provided on the vehicle plate body, and the plurality of partitions are arranged at intervals perpendicular to the moving direction of the transport device, and at least two sliding members are provided between two adjacent partitions.

[0010] In some embodiments, the baffle is connected to a reset mechanism, which includes a reset spring and a baffle connecting rod connected to the reset spring, so that the baffle extends out of the vehicle panel body.

[0011] In some embodiments, the transport device includes a guide assembly; the guide assembly includes a U-shaped guide wheel frame and a first guide wheel and a second guide wheel disposed on two side walls of the U-shaped guide wheel frame.

[0012] In some embodiments, there are at least two receiving holes, and the baffle moves up and down in the receiving holes.

[0013] In some embodiments, the transport device further includes an axle and two wheels connected to both sides of the axle.

[0014] On the other hand, the present disclosure also provides a transport system, which includes the transport device as described above and a track assembly adapted to the transport device.

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0033] It should be understood that the terms "including" and "comprising" used in the specification and claims of the present disclosure indicate the presence of the described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or their combinations.

[0036] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present disclosure provides a transportation device. In particular, the transportation device of the present disclosure is provided with a baffle, a sliding member and a driving mechanism on the vehicle body. The driving mechanism can drive the baffle to retract under the main body of the vehicle board. The baffle cooperates with the sliding member arranged on the plane of the main body of the vehicle board, and can be directly horizontally pushed when transferring materials such as graphitized crucibles, eliminating the hoisting step, thereby solving the problem of low efficiency in the previous transfer methods. Through the following description, those skilled in the art can understand that in multiple embodiments of the present disclosure, the transfer efficiency can be further improved by increasing the number of sliding members.

[0037] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. <000>

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 which shows a perspective schematic view of a transportation device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 2 which shows a perspective schematic view of a transportation device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the transportation device 100 includes: a baffle 1, a sliding member, a driving mechanism 3, and a main body 4 of the vehicle board. The main body 4 of the vehicle board of the transportation device includes a receiving hole 41 and an upper plane 42 of the main board; the baffle 1 is hinged to the side of the receiving hole 41, and the sliding member can be at least partially disposed on the upper plane 42 of the main board; the driving mechanism 3 is disposed at the bottom of the main body 4 of the vehicle board and is connected to the baffle 1 to drive the baffle 1 to retract into the main body 4 of the vehicle board.

[0039] In some embodiments, the receiving hole 41 is a through hole penetrating the main body 4 of the vehicle board. The baffle 1 is hinged to one side of the receiving hole 41, and the baffle 1 is also movably connected to the driving mechanism 3 to receive the driving of the driving mechanism 3. The shape of the receiving hole 41 on the main body of the vehicle board can be adapted to the baffle 1 to provide a certain moving space for the baffle 1, so that the baffle 1 can contract or extend in the receiving hole 41. The baffle 1 can rotate relative to the edge of the receiving hole 41, so as to change from the state of being received in the receiving hole 41 to the state of at least partially protruding from the upper plane of the main body 4 of the vehicle board.

[0040] In some embodiments, the number of baffles 1 is at least two (such as the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, etc.). The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 can be arranged at intervals in the width direction of the car body 4, and the rotation axes of the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are both arranged in the length direction of the car body 4. Additionally, the flipping directions of the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 can be opposite. The spacing distance between the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 can be set according to the materials placed on the car body 4, such as the width of the graphitization crucible. Correspondingly, the number of receiving holes 41 is also at least two (such as the first receiving hole 411, the second receiving hole 412, etc.). The first receiving hole 411 and the second receiving hole 412 are arranged in parallel on the upper plane 42 of the main board and are also spaced apart by a certain distance. Thus, the materials can be blocked by a pair of baffles in the width direction of the car body 4, reducing the risk of tilting or even overturning during transportation.

[0041] Those skilled in the art can understand that for the case where there are more than two baffles 1 and receiving holes 41, the remaining baffles 1 and receiving holes 41 can still be evenly arranged in the upper plane 42 of the main board in the above manner. For example, in some embodiments, four or more baffles arranged at intervals in the transverse direction can be provided on the car body 4. The total number is an even number, so that they can be divided into multiple pairs of baffles arranged in sequence, and the spacing between each pair of baffles is set corresponding to the width of the material to be loaded.

[0042] In some embodiments, the number of sliding members is at least two. The two sliding members can be arranged side by side on the upper plane 42 of the main board to support and guide the graphitization crucible to slide on the upper plane 42 of the main board. In some embodiments, the sliding member can include a slide rod 2. The slide rod 2 can be generally in the shape of an oblong rod, and it is arranged such that its axis is perpendicular to the moving direction of the transportation device. The two axial ends of the slide rod 2 can extend along the width direction of the car body 4 to the two side edges of the car body 4 respectively. During feeding, the material can slide from the side to a fixed position relying on the slide rod 2. The slide rod 2 can ensure that the material can be guided and supported by the slide rod 2 throughout the process when moving on the upper side of the car body 4. In addition, the slide rod 2 can be made of materials such as carbon steel, and it can be fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the car body 4 by means of welding or the like.

[0043] In another feasible embodiment, the sliding member may further include rollers. For example, the rollers may be rotatably arranged on the upper surface of the car body main body 4, and the axes of the rollers are arranged parallel to the moving direction of the transport device. Thus, when the material is placed on the upper surface of the car body main body 4, the rollers can support the material while assisting the material to move along the width direction of the car body main body 4 by their own rolling motion. In some embodiments, a plurality of rollers may be arranged on the upper surface thereof along the width direction of the car body main body 4. A plurality of roller grooves may be provided on the car body main body 4, and a plurality of rollers may be at least partially received in the roller grooves, and two axial ends of the roller rotating shaft may be rotatably connected to the car body main body by means of devices such as bearings. The axial length of the roller may correspond to the width of the material to be transported, such as a graphitization crucible.

[0044] Those skilled in the art can understand that the form and arrangement position of the sliding member according to some embodiments of the present disclosure can be selected and set according to the actual transportation requirements of the transport device. So that the sliding member can provide continuous rolling or sliding support for the graphitization crucible during loading and unloading, so as to reduce the friction force of the contact surface between the graphitization crucible and the transport device, thereby optimizing the transfer efficiency of the transport device. For example, for materials with different shapes, the form and position of the sliding member can be set according to the shape of the contact surface with the car body main body 4. For another example, for materials with height changes on the bottom surface, multiple rows of sliding members with different heights can be correspondingly arranged to provide stable guiding and support for them.

[0045] Referring again to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 3 is placed at the bottom of the car body main body 4 and is connected to the baffle 1. The driving mechanism 3 includes a main link, a hinge member, and a baffle driving connecting rod. Among them, the main link is connected to the baffle connecting rod based on the hinge member, and both ends of the baffle connecting rod are respectively connected to different baffles. The triggering device 8 includes a polygonal connecting member and a pulley connected to the top of the polygonal connecting member. The first connecting end of the polygonal connecting member is hinged to a vertical and internally hollow fixed rod at the bottom of the vehicle body main board. The second connecting end of the polygonal connecting member is connected to the driving mechanism 3. When the triggering device encounters a stopping device (such as a stop block, etc.) on the track during driving, the polygonal connecting member is blocked by the stopping device, and the second connecting end connected to the driving mechanism 3 will move towards the hollow area of the fixed rod, thereby driving the driving mechanism 3 to move in the same direction together, and the driving mechanism 3 is thus triggered. When the driving mechanism is triggered, the main link moves towards the tail of the transport device along the length direction of the car body main body, and the hinge member rotates, thereby driving the baffle driving connecting rod to move towards the inner side of the vehicle body main board in a direction perpendicular to the main link, so that the baffle contracts below the car body main body.

[0046] Those skilled in the art can understand that although a setting for driving the baffle 1 to extend or retract through a linkage mechanism is described above, the present disclosure does not limit the driving manner of the baffle 1. For example, the driving mechanism 3 may include an electric driving mechanism such as a motor provided on the lower side of the vehicle body 4, and a corresponding control system connected thereto to control the movement of the electric driving mechanism through an electric signal to drive the baffle 1 to extend or retract. In addition, in some other embodiments, the driving mechanism 3 may also use driving components such as a magnetic attraction driving assembly, a starting driving assembly, or a hydraulic driving assembly as the power source for driving the baffle 1 to extend or retract, and the present disclosure does not limit this here.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring again to Figure 1 , a plurality of partition plates 43 may also be provided on the vehicle body 4 of the transportation device. The partition plates 43 may be generally rectangular plate-shaped, for example. They protrude from the upper surface of the vehicle body 4 in the vertical direction, and their two ends in the transverse direction may extend to the two lateral edges of the vehicle body 4 in the transverse direction. The plurality of partition plates 43 are arranged at intervals perpendicular to the moving direction of the transportation device. The area between two adjacent partition plates 43 can be used to place materials such as graphitized crucibles. At least two sliding members may be provided between two adjacent partition plates 43 so that the center of gravity of the material located between the two partition plates 43 can fall between the two sliding members, providing stable support for it. The plurality of partition plates 43 may be evenly arranged on the vehicle body 4 to provide separation and support for the graphitized crucible in the moving direction during transportation, ensuring that the graphitized crucible is not easily overly moved or damaged due to shaking in the moving direction during transportation. At the same time, two adjacent partition plates 43 can form a guiding track for laterally moving the material along the upper surface of the vehicle body 4, preventing the material from being hindered during movement and accidentally moving longitudinally.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the baffle 1 may also be connected to a reset mechanism 5. The reset mechanism 5 may include a reset spring 51 and a baffle connecting rod 52 connected to a side portion of the baffle 1, for example. The baffle connecting rod 52 may be disposed opposite to the plate body portion of the baffle 1 with respect to the rotation axis of the baffle 1. The reset spring 51 may be disposed on the bottom side of the vehicle body 4, for example, and its axis may be arranged along the transverse direction of the vehicle body 4. One end of the reset spring 51 may be fixedly connected to the bottom side of the vehicle body 4, and the other end may be fixedly connected to the baffle connecting rod 52 located at the bottom of the baffle 1, for example. When the baffle 1 is driven by the driving mechanism 3 to protrude, the reset spring 51 is in a stretched state, and the baffle connecting rod 52 moves outward along the transverse direction of the vehicle body 4, thereby driving the baffle 1 to flip around its rotation axis and extend out of the vehicle body 4 from the accommodation hole 41. Optionally, in another feasible implementation manner, the reset spring 51 may be replaced by a pneumatic component.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the transport device may further include a guiding assembly 6. The guiding assembly 6 may, for example, include a U-shaped guide wheel frame 61 and a first guide wheel 62 and a second guide wheel 63 rotatably connected to the U-shaped guide wheel frame 61. The U-shaped guide wheel frame 61 may, for example, include a connecting cross beam and two side arms respectively disposed on both sides of the connecting cross beam. The two side arms both extend in a direction perpendicular to the connecting cross beam, wherein the first guide wheel 62 and the second guide wheel 63 may be respectively disposed at the distal ends of the extending portions of one of the two side arms. The connecting cross beam of the U-shaped guide wheel frame 61 may be fixed to the axle at the bottom of the vehicle board body 4, and the two side arms of the U-shaped guide wheel frame 61 extend downward from the vehicle board body 4, so that the first guide wheel 62 and the second guide wheel 63 are respectively placed in front of and behind the wheel along the forward and backward directions of the wheel. By adjusting the length of the side arms, the first guide wheel 62 and the second guide wheel 63 can be brought close to the side of the track, so that they roll close to the inner side wall of the track during transportation, preventing the transport device from derailing or tipping over due to steering or speed changes during transportation.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 , the transport device may further include an axle 7 and two wheels 71 connected to both sides of the axle 7. The axle 7 may be placed at the bottom of the vehicle board body and fixedly connected to the frame of the transport device. Two rotatable wheels 71 are connected to both sides of the axle 7. The axle 7 is used to carry and transmit the weight of the vehicle, and the spacing distance between the two wheels may correspond to the spacing distance of the existing double-track. The axle 7 and the wheels 71 provide smooth operation and load capacity for the transport device, enabling the transport device to run on the double-track. In some embodiments, an active connection mechanism 72 is further provided at each of the axial ends of the axle 7. One end of the active connection mechanism 72 is connected to the axle 7, and the other end is connected to the wheel axle of the wheel 71. With the help of the active connection mechanism 72, the wheel 71 can rotate relative to the axle 7 within a certain angle range, so that it can travel on a curved track and has stronger adaptability to errors such as track spacing and height.

[0051] Refer again to Figure 1, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a first connecting member 60 and a second connecting member 65 may also be provided at the end of the deck body 4 of the transport device along the length direction. The first connecting member 60 may include, for example, a plate-shaped body protruding from the end of the deck body 4 along the length direction, and a through first connecting hole may be provided on the plate-shaped body. The second connecting member 65 may include, for example, a plate-shaped body protruding from the other end of the deck body 4 along the length direction opposite to the first connecting member 60, and a similar second connecting hole is provided on the plate-shaped body. Thus, when multiple transport devices are used simultaneously for material transportation, the first connecting member 60 of one transport device can be docked with the second connecting member 65 of another transport device. And align the first connecting hole with the second connecting hole in the vertical direction, and insert a connecting pin into the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole, then the connection of the two transport devices can be completed conveniently and quickly.

[0052] In addition, the heights and thicknesses of the first connecting member 60 and the second connecting member 65 in the vertical direction can be set to different values respectively, so that they can avoid each other when docked. In some embodiments, the second connecting member 65 may include, for example, two plate-shaped bodies arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the height of the interval region between the two plate-shaped bodies corresponds to the thickness of the first connecting member 60, so that the first connecting member 60 can extend into the middle of the two plate-shaped bodies of the second connecting member 65 and be limited by the two plate-shaped bodies, thereby further improving the overall stability after the connection of the front and rear two moving devices.

[0053] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 shows a side view schematic diagram of a transport system 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the transport system includes the transport device 100 according to multiple embodiments of the present disclosure and a track assembly 270 adapted to the transport device 100. The track assembly 270 may include, for example, track types such as standard double-track rails and narrow-track rails.

Many changes, alterations, and alternative ways may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
