Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rubber product loading and unloading technology, and in particular to a self-propelled mechanism and an integrated rubber loading and unloading machine. Background Technology

[0002] In rubber product manufacturing, materials are cut by a cutting machine or manually, weighed, fed, and manually discharged (removing unqualified materials) before vulcanization. Rubber vulcanization often requires a rubber loading and unloading machine. This machine is typically placed directly in front of or behind the vulcanizing machine. Its extended arm feeds materials into the vulcanizing mold, so the distance between it and the vulcanizing machine is limited by the extension length of the arm. When the vulcanizing mold needs to be replaced, the rubber loading and unloading machine must be moved to a location away from the vulcanizing machine to free up operating space for workers to change the mold.

[0003] Existing rubber loading and unloading integrated machines are usually fixed in front of or behind the vulcanizing machine, and are placed as close to the vulcanizing machine as possible to save the time of the integrated machine's back-and-forth movement for loading and to improve production efficiency. However, the fixed method often results in insufficient mold changing space or inconvenient operation due to the small distance between the integrated machine and the vulcanizing machine.

[0004] Currently, some options include installing side-sliding rails to allow the rubber loading and unloading machine to move laterally. However, this method involves mounting the guide rails on the ground, which often takes up space, hinders movement, and poses safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a walking mechanism that can be attached to the rubber loading and unloading machine to assist it in moving and accurately and quickly resetting when needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to enable the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine to better align with the vulcanizing machine for loading and unloading, or to have more space for changing molds, this application provides a self-propelled mechanism.

[0006] Firstly, the self-propelled mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A self-propelled mechanism includes a support base, a lifting component, a first mounting base, a first traveling component, a second mounting base, and a second traveling component. The support base is located at the bottom of a rubber loading and unloading integrated machine. The first mounting base is connected to the support base. The lifting component is located below the support base and connected to the first mounting base. The lifting component is used to control the lifting and lowering of the first mounting base. The first traveling component is located on the first mounting base and is used to control the movement of the support base on the ground.

[0008] The second mounting base is located below the support base, and the second traveling component is located on the second mounting base. The second traveling component is used to lift the support base and assist the support base in moving on the ground.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, this self-propelled mechanism can realize the lifting and moving of the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine through remote control and linkage with the touch screen of the machine. When the vulcanizing machine needs to change molds, the second walking component is first activated via remote control (with function keys for start, rise, fall, forward, and reverse) or touch screen operation. The second walking component can drive the entire support base and the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine from a low position to a high position. When the positioning feet of the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine separate from the feet on the ground, the lifting component controls the first walking component to move away from the support base and contact the ground. By utilizing the cooperation between the first and second walking components, the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine can move on the ground. This self-propelled mechanism is set below the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine, without occupying extra space. It can assist the integrated machine in moving and resetting, realizing automated moving, saving manpower and ensuring the accuracy of equipment resetting.

[0010] Preferably, the first walking component includes a first drive motor, a drive wheel, and a transmission component. The drive wheel is rotatably connected to the first mounting base and there are several of them. Each drive wheel is connected through the transmission component. The first drive motor is connected to one of the drive wheels and is used to control the rotation of the drive wheel.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the first drive motor can control one of the power wheels to rotate. Under the connection of the transmission components, the power wheels can rotate synchronously and in the same direction, thereby enabling the rubber loading and unloading machine to move to the side (which side to move to is determined by the forward or reverse rotation of the first drive motor on the side of the power wheel). The second walking component also moves synchronously until it reaches the set self-walking time or distance and then stops. If it does not stop when the time is up, an alarm will be triggered.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission component is a chain drive or a belt drive.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, chain drive or belt drive can realize the linkage of each power wheel.

[0014] Preferably, the second walking assembly includes a second drive motor, a lead screw, a lifting block, a connecting frame, a mounting frame, and a driven wheel. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the second mounting base. The second drive motor is connected to the lead screw and is used to control the rotation of the lead screw. The lifting block is raised and lowered on the lead screw. One end of the connecting frame is connected to the lifting block, and the other end is connected to the mounting frame. The mounting frame is hinged to the second mounting base, and the driven wheel is rotatably connected to the mounting frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the second drive motor controls the lead screw to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw can be converted into the linear motion of the lifting block. When the lifting block moves vertically upward, the distance between the end of the connecting frame and the lifting block and the ground increases, allowing the end of the connecting frame away from the lifting block to lift the entire support base. Since the mounting frame is hinged to the second mounting base, the driven wheel can always be in contact with the ground.

[0016] Preferably, there are two sets of the second walking components, with the two second walking components symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first walking component.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two second walking components can jointly raise the distance between the support base and the ground, thereby improving stability.

[0018] Preferably, the lifting component is a lifting cylinder or a lifting hydraulic cylinder, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder or the lifting hydraulic cylinder is connected to the first mounting base.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, either a lifting cylinder or a lifting hydraulic cylinder can be used to control the lifting and lowering of the first mounting base.

[0020] Secondly, this application also provides a rubber loading and unloading integrated machine, including an integrated machine body and a self-propelled mechanism with all the above-mentioned structures, wherein the integrated machine body is disposed on the support base.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a foot base and a conical column. The foot base is located on the ground, and the conical column is located on the foot base. The main body of the integrated machine is provided with positioning feet, and the lower end of the positioning feet is provided with a slot, into which the conical column is inserted.

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

[0023] (1) By setting up a first walking component and a second walking component, when the vulcanizing machine needs to change molds, the second walking component is first started by remote control (with function keys such as start, rise, fall, forward, and backward) or touch screen operation. The second walking component can drive the entire support base and the rubber loading and unloading machine to rise from a low position to a high position. When the positioning feet of the rubber loading and unloading machine separate from the feet on the ground, the lifting component controls the first walking component to move away from the support base and contact the ground. By using the cooperation of the first walking component and the second walking component, the rubber loading and unloading machine can move on the ground.

[0024] (2) By setting multiple sets of second walking components, each second walking component can jointly raise the distance between the support base and the ground, thereby improving the stability of the rubber loading and unloading machine when it moves. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. This application can be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics represented may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection; a detachable connection; an integral part; or a mechanical connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples shown in this application, as well as the features of those embodiments or examples.

[0037] This application discloses a self-propelled mechanism. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 The self-propelled mechanism includes a support base 1, a lifting component 2, a first mounting base 3, a first traveling assembly 4, a second mounting base 5, and a second traveling assembly 6. The support base 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rubber loading and unloading machine. The lifting component 2 is mounted on the support base 1 and connected to the first mounting base 3. The lifting component 2 controls the lifting and lowering of the first mounting base 3. When encountering uneven ground, the lifting component 2 continuously provides pressure, ensuring that the power wheel 42 remains in contact with the ground without slipping. The lifting component 2 is a lifting cylinder or a lifting hydraulic cylinder; in this embodiment, it is a lifting cylinder. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the first mounting base 3. The first traveling assembly 4 is mounted on the first mounting base 3 and is used to control the movement of the support base 1 on the ground. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a different mechanism.) Figure 4 Two first position sensors 15 are installed on one side of the lifting cylinder, and a first sensing plate 17 is installed on the lifting cylinder. The two first position sensors 15 are used to sense the first sensing plate 17, thereby sensing the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder.

[0038] Specifically, the first walking assembly 4 includes a first drive motor 41, drive wheels 42, and a transmission assembly 43. Several drive wheels 42 are rotatably connected to the first mounting base 3, and the shafts of each drive wheel 42 are parallel to each other. The drive wheels 42 are connected via the transmission assembly 43, which can be a chain drive or a belt drive; in this embodiment, a chain is used to connect the drive wheels 42. The drive shaft of the first drive motor 41 is coaxially connected to one of the drive wheels 42 to control the rotation of the drive wheel 42. The first drive motor 41 has a self-locking function.

[0039] The second mounting base 5 is installed below the support base 1, and at least two of them are provided. The two second mounting bases 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first traveling assembly 4. A second traveling assembly 6 is installed on each of the two second mounting bases 5. The second traveling assembly 6 is used to lift the support base 1 and the auxiliary support base 1 to travel on the ground.

[0040] The second traveling assembly 6 includes a second drive motor 61, a lead screw 62, a lifting block 63, a connecting frame 64, a mounting frame 65, and a driven wheel 66. The lead screw 62 is vertically arranged and its two ends are rotatably connected to the second mounting base 5 and the support base 1. The axis of rotation of the lead screw 62 is vertical. The second drive motor 61 is connected to the lead screw 62 via gears 7 (i.e., gears 7 are connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 61, and gears 7 are also connected to the lead screw 62, with the two gears 7 meshing with each other). The second drive motor 61 is used to control the rotation of the lead screw 62 and has a self-locking function. The lifting block 63 is jacked up and down on the lead screw 62, and the lead screw 62 is used to control the up and down movement of the lifting block 63.

[0041] The lifting block 63 is connected to a limiting wheel 8. A strip-shaped hole 9 is provided on the second mounting base 5, along the moving direction of the lifting block 63. The limiting wheel 8 is located within the strip-shaped hole 9 and serves to guide the lifting block 63. One end of the connecting frame 64 is hinged to the lifting block 63, and the other end is hinged to the mounting frame 65. The mounting frame 65 is hinged to the bottom of the second mounting base 5, and the driven wheel 66 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 65 and in contact with the ground. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, two connecting frames 64 are symmetrically arranged, one wide and one narrow, forming a V-shape. The ends of the connecting frames 64 that are hinged to the lifting block 63 are fitted together, one wide and one narrow. As shown in the figure, two second position sensors 16 are also installed on the second mounting base 5, and a second sensing plate 18 is installed on the lifting block 63. The two second position sensors 16 are used to sense the second sensing plate 18, thereby sensing the driven wheel 66 to rise or fall into place.

[0042] This self-propelled mechanism can be linked with the touch screen of the rubber loading and unloading machine via remote control to realize the lifting and moving of the rubber loading and unloading machine. When the vulcanizing machine needs to change molds, the second walking component 6 is first started via remote control (with function keys for start, rise, fall, forward, and backward) or touch screen operation.

[0043] The second drive motor 61 controls the lead screw 62 to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw 62 can be converted into linear motion of the lifting block 63. When the lifting block 63 moves vertically upward, the distance between the end of the connecting frame 64 and the lifting block 63 and the ground increases, allowing the end of the connecting frame 64 away from the lifting block 63 to lift the entire support base 1. Since the mounting frame 65 is hinged to the second mounting base 5, the driven wheel 66 can always be in contact with the ground.

[0044] When the positioning foot 13 of the rubber loading and unloading machine separates from the foot seat 11 on the ground, the operating lifting component 2 controls the first mounting base 3 to move in a direction closer to the ground, so that each drive wheel 42 contacts the ground. The first drive motor 41 can control one of the drive wheels 42 to rotate. Under the connection of the chain, each drive wheel 42 can rotate synchronously in the same direction, thereby enabling the rubber loading and unloading machine to move to the side (which side to move to is determined by the forward or reverse rotation of the first drive motor 41 on the side of the drive wheel 42).

[0045] Simultaneously, each driven wheel 66 moves in sync. Relying on the combined action of the power wheel 42 and the driven wheels 66, the rubber loading and unloading machine moves on the ground until it reaches the set self-moving time or distance, at which point it stops. If it fails to stop within the set time, an alarm will sound. This self-moving mechanism is located below the rubber loading and unloading machine, saving space and assisting in its relocation and resetting. This automates relocation, saving manpower and ensuring accurate resetting.

[0046] When the mold is changed and the integrated machine needs to be reset, the walking mechanism can be operated via remote control or touch screen to drive the integrated machine back to its original position along the original route; then control the central lifting cylinder to retract, and the second drive motors 61 on both sides rotate to drive the lead screw 62 to rotate, so that the lifting block 63 and the support seat 1 descend into place, at which point the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine is reset.

[0047] The implementation principle of the self-propelled mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: When the vulcanizing machine needs to change molds, the second walking component 6 is first activated via remote control or touch screen operation. The second walking component 6 can drive the entire support base 1 and the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine to rise from a low position to a high position. When the positioning foot 13 of the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine separates from the foot 11 on the ground, the operating lifting component 2 controls the first walking component 4 to move away from the support base 1 and contact the ground. By utilizing the cooperation between the first walking component 4 and the second walking component 6, the rubber loading and unloading integrated machine can move on the ground.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides a rubber loading and unloading integrated machine, including an integrated machine body 10 and a self-propelled mechanism with all the above-described structures. The integrated machine body 10 is fixedly installed on the support base 1. The self-propelled mechanism is used to control the movement of the integrated machine body 10 on the ground. Since the self-propelled mechanism has been discussed above, it will not be described again here.

[0049] The system includes four fixed feet 11 on the ground, each with a conical column 12 fixedly attached. Positioning feet 13 are fixedly attached to the four corners of the main body 10. Each positioning foot 13 has a slot 14 at its lower end, into which the conical column 12 is inserted, thus completing the placement of the rubber loading and unloading machine. The bottom of the machine is separated from the ground by the feet 11, preventing the equipment from being affected by moisture or vibration. Furthermore, the foot 11 structure allows for fine-tuning of the machine's position in all directions.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
