Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container storage technology, and in particular to a container stacking storage device. Background Technology

[0002] A shipping container is a large cargo container with a certain strength, rigidity, and specifications, specifically designed for repeated use. To make full use of available space, ports typically store containers by stacking them. While this method reduces the floor space required, retrieving a single container necessitates moving all the other containers stacked on top to other locations one by one, and then returning them to their original positions one by one after the retrieval operation is complete. This method results in long lifting times and low retrieval efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention addresses the aforementioned technical problems by providing a container stacking and storage device that stacks containers and stores them independently. It enables rapid retrieval of a specific container, significantly reducing hoisting time and improving retrieval efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0005] A container stacking storage device includes a storage rack, characterized in that: a vertical lifting channel is provided in the middle of the storage rack, a lifting mechanism that moves up and down is provided in the lifting channel, and a gripping mechanism is provided on the lifting mechanism; multiple layers of left and right moving translation mechanisms are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the lifting channel on the storage rack, and a left and right conveying mechanism is provided on each layer of translation mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a first reduction motor fixedly installed on the storage rack, a winding wheel rotatably installed at the upper end of the lifting channel and connected to the output shaft of the first reduction motor, a suspension rope wound on the winding wheel, and a lifting frame connected to the lower end of the suspension rope.

[0007] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism includes an oil pump fixedly installed on the lifting frame, locking hooks rotatably installed at the four corners of the lifting frame, and an oil cylinder connected between the lifting frame and the locking hooks. The oil cylinder is connected to the oil pump through an oil pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the translation mechanism includes a translation frame that is slidably mounted on the storage rack, a second reduction motor that is fixedly mounted on the translation frame, a rotating wheel that is rotatably mounted on the translation frame and connected to the output shaft of the second reduction motor, wheel grooves that are evenly distributed on the rotating wheel in the circumferential direction, and rollers that are mounted on the storage rack in the left and right directions and engage with the wheel grooves of the rotating wheel.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a third reduction motor fixedly mounted on the translation frame, sprockets rotatably mounted on the left and right ends of the translation frame, and a chain mounted between the two sprockets, wherein one sprocket is connected to the output shaft of the third reduction motor.

[0010] Furthermore, a weighbridge is installed at the lower end of the lifting channel to facilitate weighing of vehicles transporting containers.

[0011] Furthermore, solar power generation equipment is installed on the storage shelves to compensate for the electrical energy consumption of the equipment.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] Because a vertical lifting channel is located in the middle of the storage rack, a vertically moving lifting mechanism is installed within the lifting channel, and a gripping mechanism is installed on the lifting mechanism; multiple layers of horizontally moving translation mechanisms are installed on the left and right sides of the lifting channel on the storage rack, and a left-right conveying mechanism is installed on each layer of translation mechanism. When retrieving a container inside the translation mechanism, the translation mechanism moves the container to the lifting channel, the gripping mechanism locks the container, the translation mechanism returns to its original position, and the lifting mechanism places the container on a vehicle on the ground below the lifting channel. When retrieving a container outside the translation mechanism, the conveying mechanism moves the container to the inside of the translation mechanism and repeats the above operation, placing the container on a vehicle on the ground below the lifting channel. This system stacks containers and stores them independently, allowing for quick retrieval of a single container, eliminating a large number of repetitive container lifting operations, greatly shortening lifting time, and improving retrieval efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a container stacking and storage device includes a storage rack 1, a solar power generation device 2 installed on the storage rack 1, a vertical lifting channel 3 in the middle of the storage rack 1, a weighbridge 4 installed at the lower end of the lifting channel 3, and a lifting mechanism 5 that moves up and down within the lifting channel 3. The lifting mechanism 5 includes a first reduction motor 501 fixedly installed on the storage rack 1, a winding reel 502 rotatably installed at the upper end of the lifting channel 3 and connected to the output shaft of the first reduction motor 501, a lifting rope 503 wound on the winding reel 502, and a lifting frame 504 connected to the lower end of the lifting rope 503. A gripping mechanism 6 is provided on the lifting mechanism 5. The gripping mechanism 6 includes an oil pump 601 fixedly installed on the lifting frame 504, locking hooks 602 rotatably installed at the four corners of the lifting frame 504, and an oil cylinder 603 connected between the lifting frame 504 and the locking hooks 602. The oil cylinder 603 is connected to the oil pump 601 through an oil pipe. On the storage rack 1, multiple layers of left-right moving translation mechanisms 7 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the lifting channel 3. Each translation mechanism 7 includes a translation frame 701 slidably mounted on the storage rack 1, a second reduction motor 702 fixedly mounted on the translation frame 701, a rotating wheel 703 rotatably mounted on the translation frame 701 and connected to the output shaft of the second reduction motor 702, wheel grooves 704 evenly arranged circumferentially on the rotating wheel 703, and rollers 705 mounted on the storage rack 1 and engaging with the wheel grooves 704 of the rotating wheel 703. Each layer of translation mechanism 7 is provided with a left-right conveying mechanism 8. The conveying mechanism 8 includes a third reduction motor 801 fixedly mounted on the translation frame 701, sprockets 802 rotatably mounted at the left and right ends of the translation frame 701, and a chain 803 installed between the two sprockets 802, wherein one sprocket 802 is connected to the output shaft of the third reduction motor 801.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0022] During container storage operations, when the vehicle transporting the container approaches the weighbridge 4, the first reduction motor 501 is activated, driving the winding wheel 502 to rotate and release the lifting rope 503, causing the lifting frame 504 to descend above the container. Then, the oil pump 601 is activated to extend the oil cylinder 603, causing the four locking hooks 602 to rotate and engage with the locking holes at the four corners of the container. Next, the first reduction motor 501 is activated again, driving the winding wheel 502 to rotate and tighten the lifting rope 503, raising the container to the height of the designated floor transfer frame 701. Finally, the second reduction motor 702 is activated, driving the rotating wheel 703 to rotate. The first geared motor 501 is activated, causing the wheel groove 704 on the rotating wheel 703 to engage with the roller 705, moving the translation frame 701 to the lifting channel 3. Then, the first geared motor 501 is activated, driving the winding wheel 502 to rotate and release the lifting rope 503. The container descends onto the chain 803, and the oil pump 601 is activated to shorten the oil cylinder 603, causing the four locking hooks 602 to rotate and unlock the container. Next, the second geared motor 702 is activated, driving the rotating wheel 703 to rotate. The wheel groove 704 on the rotating wheel 703 engages with the roller 705, causing the translation frame 701 to return to its original position, storing the container in the storage rack 1. When more containers are stored on the same layer of the chain 803, the third geared motor 801 is activated, driving the chain 803 to transport the previous container to the outside of the translation frame 701 and store the next container inside the translation frame 701.

[0023] When removing the container, reverse the above steps and place the container on the vehicle on weighbridge 4.

[0024] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
