Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of walking devices, and in particular to walking devices for mobile loading hoppers. Background Technology

[0002] Mobile loading funnels are widely used in logistics and industrial production, especially in situations requiring frequent changes in loading and unloading points. Traditional fixed loading funnels, due to their immobility, are inefficient in multi-point loading operations and increase the workload of manual handling. In recent years, with the development of automation and mechanization technologies, mobile loading equipment has gradually become the mainstream choice, significantly improving loading efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0003] To facilitate the convenient movement of mobile loading hoppers, common driving methods include manual push-pull devices, electric drive devices, and hydraulic drive devices. Manual push-pull devices use human power to push the hopper, suitable for light loads and short distances; electric drive devices use a motor to drive the rollers, suitable for heavier loads and longer distances; hydraulic drive devices use a hydraulic system to provide power, suitable for the needs of moving large tonnage hoppers and in complex terrain.

[0004] While these methods solve the movement problem to some extent, in practical applications, it is usually necessary to fix the position of the mobile loading hopper after it has been moved. At this time, multiple feet are usually used, which are inserted into both sides of the rollers in the mobile loading hopper to restrict the sliding of the rollers. However, although the above-mentioned methods can meet the positioning requirements to some extent, there are still problems such as roller offset during the insertion process, resulting in inaccurate positioning, and the inconvenience of manually inserting the feet. Utility Model Content

[0005] To quickly and accurately position a mobile loading hopper, this application provides a traveling device for the mobile loading hopper.

[0006] The mobile loading hopper traveling device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: The mobile loading hopper traveling device includes a bracket for mounting the hopper. A reduction motor is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the bracket. Rollers are provided on both sides of the reduction motor. The rollers are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor. A mounting plate is provided above the rollers. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bracket. Locking blocks are provided on both sides of the rollers. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the locking blocks is provided on the mounting plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support reaches the appropriate position and it is necessary to restrict the rotation of the rollers, the adjusting mechanism can be controlled to move the locking blocks, causing the locking blocks to abut against both sides of the rollers, thereby fixing the position of the rollers. This quickly and accurately restricts the position of the mobile loading hopper, reducing the possibility of accidental movement of the equipment and enhancing its safety. It also improves the adaptability and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0008] Optionally, the adjustment mechanism includes an extension plate fixedly connected to the mounting plate, the extension plate corresponding one-to-one with the locking block, a slider slidably connected to the extension plate, a lifting cylinder fixedly connected to the upper end of the slider, a sliding hole for the extension end of the lifting cylinder to pass through, the extension end of the lifting cylinder passing through the sliding hole and positioned below the extension plate, a connecting component for connecting the locking block and the extension end of the lifting cylinder, and a driving component for driving the slider to slide on the extension plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the slider can be controlled by the drive component, and the lifting and lowering of the locking block can be achieved by controlling the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder. This enables precise adjustment of the locking block position, ensuring that the roller can be securely locked or released when needed, thus improving the safety and stability of the walking device.

[0010] Optionally, the driving component is configured as a movable cylinder, and the telescopic end of the movable cylinder is fixedly connected to the slider.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the slider can be adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction of the moving cylinder, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the locking block.

[0012] Optionally, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slider, and a limiting hole is formed on the extension plate opposite to the limiting block, with the limiting block slidably connected within the limiting hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to effectively prevent the slider from shifting or tilting in the horizontal direction, ensure that the slider moves smoothly along the predetermined path, and improve the stability and reliability of the entire walking device.

[0014] Optionally, the connecting assembly includes an adjusting block fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder, the adjusting block having a moving groove, the opening of the moving groove being smaller than the bottom of the moving groove, the upper end of the locking block being slidably connected to the moving groove, and the moving groove having a fixing member for fixing the locking block within the moving groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking blocks can be fixed together using fasteners. Simultaneously, the design of the moving groove's opening being smaller than its bottom effectively prevents the locking blocks from detaching from the moving groove, ensuring a stable connection between the locking blocks and the lifting cylinder. Furthermore, when subjected to strong external force, the structure between the locking blocks and the moving groove will first collapse, thus protecting the lifting cylinder.

[0016] Optionally, the fixing member is configured as a fixing bolt, which is threadedly connected to the adjusting block, and the shank of the fixing bolt is placed in the moving groove and abuts against the adjusting block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking block can be pressed against the moving groove by rotating the fixing bolt, thereby fixing the locking block in the moving groove.

[0018] Optionally, the geared motor is externally fixedly connected to a protective shell, the bracket is fixedly connected to the protective shell, a drag plate is fixedly connected to the protective shell, and the drag plate has a drag hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the protective shell can effectively protect the geared motor from the influence of the external environment, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment; the bracket is fixedly connected to the protective shell, making the structure more stable and enhancing the stability of the entire device; the drag plate and its drag holes facilitate the dragging and movement of the walking device, improving the ease of operation.

[0020] Optionally, the locking block is configured with an arc surface on the side near the roller, and the inner arc surface of the locking block faces the side of the roller.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area between the roller and the locking block can be effectively increased, thereby increasing the friction between the two, increasing the stability when the locking block and the roller are in contact, and reducing the phenomenon of the roller shifting or derailing in the locked state.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. By fixing geared motors at the four corners of the bracket and fixing rollers on the output shaft of the geared motors, precise movement of the mobile loading hopper is achieved, effectively solving the problems of cumbersome operation of traditional manual push-pull devices and difficulty in achieving precise positioning of electric drive devices; 2. A mounting plate is provided above the rollers, and the mounting plate is equipped with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the locking block. The position of the locking block can be flexibly controlled through the adjustment mechanism to ensure the stability and safety of the rollers under different terrains and working conditions, improving the adaptability of the equipment; 3. The inner arc surface of the locking block faces the roller side, making the contact between the locking block and the roller tighter, further enhancing the stability of the equipment.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0029] An embodiment of this application is: a traveling device for a mobile loading hopper, referring to... Figure 1 This includes a bracket 1 for mounting the funnel, with a geared motor 2 located at each of the four corners of the lower end of the bracket 1. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The geared motor 2 is externally fixedly connected to a protective shell, and in this embodiment, the geared motor 2 and the protective shell are integrally formed. The bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the protective shell, and a drag plate 7 is fixedly connected to the protective shell. The drag plate 7 has a drag hole 71. Thus, when the geared motor 2 malfunctions, the protective shell of the geared motor 2 can be dragged through the drag hole 71 on the drag plate 7, thereby moving the bracket 1.

[0030] Rollers 3 are provided on both sides of the geared motor 2. The rollers 3 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the geared motor 2 and are coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the geared motor 2. A mounting plate 4 is provided above the rollers 3. The mounting plate 4 is rectangular and fixedly connected to the bracket 1. Locking blocks 5 are provided on both sides of the rollers 3. In order to increase the contact area between the rollers 3 and the locking blocks 5, the side of the locking block 5 closest to the roller 3 is set as an arc surface, and the inner arc surface of the locking block 5 faces the side of the roller 3.

[0031] The mounting plate 4 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 6 for adjusting the position of the locking block 5. The adjustment mechanism 6 includes an extension plate 61 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4. The extension plate 61 is at the same height as the mounting plate 4, and the extension plate 61 corresponds one-to-one with the locking block 5. The extension plate 61 is rectangular. A slider 62 is slidably connected to the extension plate 61. A lifting cylinder 63 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slider 62. The extension and retraction direction of the lifting cylinder 63 is perpendicular to the end face of the extension plate 61. A sliding hole 611 is provided on the extension plate 61 for the extension and retraction end of the lifting cylinder 63 to pass through. The sliding hole 611 is set along the length direction of the extension plate 61. The extension and retraction end of the lifting cylinder 63 passes through the sliding hole 611 and is placed below the extension plate 61. The extension plate 61 is provided with a driving member 65 for driving the slider 62 to slide on the extension plate 61. In this embodiment, the driving component 65 is configured as a movable cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the extension plate 61. The extension and retraction direction of the movable cylinder is parallel to the length direction of the extension plate 61, and the extension and retraction end of the movable cylinder is fixedly connected to the slider 62.

[0032] Therefore, the slider 62 can be moved on the extension plate 61 by controlling the moving cylinder. To improve the stability of the slider 62's movement on the extension plate 61, two limit blocks 621 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the slider 62, with a sliding hole 611 positioned between them. A limit hole 612 is formed on the extension plate 61 opposite to the limit block 621, and the limit hole 612 is positioned along the length of the extension plate 61. The limit block 621 is slidably connected within the limit hole 612.

[0033] A connecting assembly 64 is provided between the locking block 5 and the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 63 to connect the two. The connecting assembly 64 includes an adjusting block 641 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 63. A moving groove 6411 is formed in the adjusting block 641, and the opening of the moving groove 6411 is located on the side opposite to the lifting cylinder 63. The opening of the moving groove 6411 is smaller than the bottom of the moving groove 6411. The upper end of the locking block 5 is slidably connected in the moving groove 6411 and the upper end of the locking block 5 is restricted in the moving groove 6411, so that the locking block 5 can rise and fall together with the adjusting groove. A fixing member 642 is provided in the moving groove 6411 to fix the locking block 5 in the moving groove 6411.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixing member 642 is a fixing bolt, which is threaded onto the adjusting block 641. The shank of the fixing bolt is placed in the moving groove 6411 and abuts against the adjusting block 641. By rotating the fixing bolt, the fixing bolt can be used to press the locking block 5 against the moving groove 6411, thereby fixing the locking block 5 in the moving groove 6411.

[0035] The locking block 5 can be fixed to the locking block 5 by the fastener 642. When subjected to strong external force, the structure between the locking block 5 and the moving groove 6411 will collapse first, thereby protecting the lifting cylinder 63.

[0036] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: when the bracket 1 reaches a suitable position and it is necessary to restrict the rotation of the roller 3, the slider 62 can be driven to slide on the extension plate 61 by controlling the moving cylinder. When the slider 62 slides to a suitable position, the locking block 5 can be lowered by controlling the lifting cylinder 63. After the locking block 5 is lowered to the ground, the moving cylinder is controlled to retract a distance so that the arc surface of the locking block 5 abuts against the roller 3, thereby fixing the position of the roller 3.

[0037] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
