Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of container unloading equipment, in particular to a container tipping unloading mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A container tipping mechanism is a mechanical device used to unload containers. It typically tilts or flips the container to shift the center of gravity of the material, facilitating its flow and discharge. However, some containers carry sticky cargo. Due to the poor flowability of sticky materials, the tilting angle is insufficient to overcome the material's adhesion and allow it to flow smoothly out of the container. Consequently, the sticky material adheres to the container walls, preventing complete unloading. This results in inefficient manual re-unloading. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example
[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention proposes a container tipping and unloading mechanism, comprising a base plate 1 and a container body 2 disposed on the base plate 1. The upper surface of the base plate 1 is provided with a plurality of linearly arranged cylinders 11 that push the container body 2 to tilt and flip. The open end of the container body 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating door 21 that blocks the outflow of goods from the container body 2. The present invention also includes: a U-shaped cover plate 3 fixedly mounted in the container body 2. The function of the U-shaped cover plate 3 is to store the material in a designated space so that it can be completely scraped out by a sliding scraper 6. A pair of limiting slide bars 36 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped cover plate 3. The function of the limiting slide bars 36 is to enable the sliding scraper 6 to slide along a designated trajectory to avoid deviation. The sliding scraper 6 is provided with a pair of limiting grooves 61 for the limiting slide bar 36 to engage. The U-shaped cover plate 3 is internally provided with the sliding scraper 6 for scraping material from the container body 2. A mounting opening 22 is provided at the top of the container body 2, and the interior of the mounting opening 22 is fixedly connected to the top seat 4. The interior of the top seat 4 is provided with a scraping mechanism that pulls the sliding scraper 6 to slide back and forth within the U-shaped cover plate 3. The design of the scraping mechanism also reduces reliance on manual labor, lowering labor costs and labor intensity. It also avoids material loss due to residue and improves resource utilization. Furthermore, it helps maintain the cleanliness of the container, prevents fermentation or deterioration of materials, and meets hygiene standards.
[0030] Furthermore, the scraping mechanism includes a motor cover 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top seat 4, the interior of the motor cover 5 is fixedly connected to the motor 51, the interior of the top seat 4 is rotatably connected to the first gear 41 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 51, the interior of the top seat 4 is symmetrically provided with a second gear 42 and a third gear 43 which are meshed with the first gear 41 in sequence on both sides of the first gear 41, the bottom of the second gear 42 and the third gear 43 are rotatably connected to the top seat 4, the top of the second gear 42 and the third gear 43 are fixedly connected to the storage shaft, and the top of the storage shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top seat 4.
[0031] The scraping mechanism further includes a first pull rope 44 and a second pull rope 45, both of which are made of steel wire rope. One end of the first pull rope 44 is fixedly connected to the storage shaft on the second gear 42, and the other end of the first pull rope 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding scraper 6. One end of the second pull rope 45 is fixedly connected to the storage shaft on the third gear 43, and the other end of the second pull rope 45 is fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding scraper 6.
[0032] Secondly, the U-shaped cover plate 3 is provided with a pair of first rotation slots 31 for the corresponding first pull cords 44 to engage. The first rotation slots 31 are used to ensure that the first pull cords 44 slide along a designated trajectory and avoid deviation. A first rotation rod 32 is rotatably connected within each of the first rotation slots 31 to support the sliding movement of the first pull cords 44.
[0033] Furthermore, support rollers 35 are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of both ends of the U-shaped cover material plate 3, supporting the sliding movement of the second drawstring 45. The support rollers 35 have grooves for retaining the second drawstring 45. Second rotation slots 33 are also defined at both ends of the U-shaped cover material plate 3, into which the second drawstring 45 is retained. The support rollers 35 and second rotation slots 33 ensure that the second drawstring 45 follows a predetermined trajectory and avoids deviation. Second rotation rods 34 are rotatably connected within the second rotation slots 33, supporting the sliding movement of the second drawstring 45.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the container tipping and unloading mechanism is needed, Figure 1As shown, first open the rotating door 21 on the container body 2, then simultaneously start the multiple cylinders 11 on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1. The piston rods of the cylinders 11 push the container body 2 to flip, and the cargo in the container body 2 will flow out in the direction of the rotating door 21 due to the action of gravity. When the cargo in the container body 2 is unable to flow out due to adhesion to the inner wall of the container body 2, it is only necessary to start the motor 51 in the motor cover 5. The output shaft of the motor 51 drives the first gear 41 in the top seat 4 to rotate. Since the first gear 41, the second gear 42 and the third gear 43 are meshed and connected in sequence, the first gear 41 drives the second gear 42 and the third gear 43 to rotate, and the second gear 42 and the third gear 43 rotate in opposite directions. Then, when the second gear 42 rotates, it drives the storage shaft on it to rotate, and then the first pull rope 44 is released from the storage shaft. At this time, the third gear 43 rotates, drives the storage shaft on it to rotate, and then the second pull rope 45 is rotated and wound around the storage shaft. The storage shaft on the second gear 42 releases the first pull rope 44, and the storage shaft on the third gear 43 winds the second pull rope 45, causing the sliding scraper 6 inside the U-shaped cover plate 3 to slide along the limiting slide 61 along the limiting slide rod 36. This allows the material inside the container 2 to be completely scraped out. The material is then pushed out of the container 2 by the vertical sliding scraper 6, and then, suspended in the air, it easily falls out due to gravity. The sliding scraper 6 inside the container 2 can then be returned to its remote position by starting the motor cover 5 in reverse, making it easy to operate.
