[0032] EMBODIMENT

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 9 The present application provides a technical solution: an intelligent feeding and discharging robot, comprising a weighing sensor 160, a blocking material position switch 180, a cart walking mechanism 110, a trolley walking mechanism 120, a steel structure frame 130, a lifting mechanism 140, a guide mechanism 150 and a feeding and discharging mechanism 170. The trolley walking mechanism 120 is installed on the cart walking mechanism 110, and the steel structure frame 130 is installed on the trolley walking mechanism 120, which is connected by high-strength bolts, convenient and firm to install;

[0034] The lifting mechanism 140 is installed on the steel structure frame 130 and the feeding and discharging mechanism 170 at the same time, and the guide mechanism 150 is also installed on the steel structure frame 130 and the feeding and discharging mechanism 170. The weighing sensor 160 is fixed on the steel structure frame 130, and the feeding and discharging mechanism 170 and the weighing sensor 160 are arranged correspondingly. The blocking material position switch 180 is fixedly installed on the feeding and discharging mechanism 170, and the setting of the blocking material position switch 180 is used for detecting the material height in the material box during material taking, and intelligently managing and controlling;

[0035] The cart walking mechanism 110 moves horizontally and linearly along the track on the wall of the fermentation cabin 190, and crosses each fermentation tank. The cart walking mechanism 110 is provided with a position encoder, and a plurality of proximity switches are arranged on the walking mechanism beam to realize intelligent positioning of the cart direction, so as to avoid collision between the material taking box 171 on the feeding and discharging mechanism 170 and the wall of the fermentation tank when the material taking box 171 descends due to positioning error. Four groups of reduction motors are used to drive the cart walking, which can prevent the intelligent feeding and discharging robot from slipping and causing positioning error of the cart;

[0036] The trolley walking mechanism 120 moves horizontally and linearly on the cart walking mechanism 110 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the cart walking mechanism 110. The trolley walking mechanism 120 is provided with a position encoder and a proximity switch to realize intelligent positioning of the moving position of the trolley. The trolley walking mechanism 120 is provided with a gear and rack mechanism to prevent the trolley from shaking and slipping, ensure the stability of the trolley running, and ensure the accuracy of the positioning of the trolley walking mechanism.

[0037] The lifting mechanism 140 is arranged to control the vertical lifting of the feeding and discharging mechanism 170, and has simple structure, reliable operation, flexible configuration, convenient manufacturing and maintenance. The lifting mechanism 140 comprises a first hydraulic cylinder 141, a connecting head 142 and an ear plate 143. The upper end of the first hydraulic cylinder 141 is rotatably arranged on the steel structure frame 130. The ear plate 143 is fixed on the feeding and discharging mechanism 170. The connecting head 142 is fixed on the piston rod end of the first hydraulic cylinder 141. The connecting head 142 is rotatably arranged on the ear plate 143.

[0038] The guide mechanism 150 is parallel to the lifting mechanism 140, and ensures the stable operation of the lifting mechanism 140. The guide mechanism 150 comprises guide columns 151 and sliding blocks 152. The two ends of the guide columns 151 are fixed on the steel structure frame 130. The sliding blocks 152 are fixed on the feeding and discharging mechanism 170. The guide columns 151 penetrate the sliding blocks 152. The sliding blocks 152 slide along the direction of the guide columns 151. The sliding blocks 152 are made of cast steel on the outside, and graphite copper sleeves are arranged inside the sliding blocks 152. The graphite copper sleeves have high bearing capacity, impact resistance and high temperature resistance. The graphite particles can generate a protective film in the friction process, reduce the friction damage between the equipment, have small friction force, strong self-lubricating capacity, no need to add lubricant, long service life and low maintenance cost.

[0039] The feeding and discharging mechanism 170 is arranged to realize the feeding, discharging, taking and discharging of materials. The feeding and discharging mechanism 170 comprises a material box 171, a second hydraulic cylinder 172, a feeding and discharging door 173, a stop block 174 and a connecting rod structure 175. The ear plate 143 is fixed on the outer wall of the material box 171. The sliding block 152 is fixed on the material box 171. One end of the second hydraulic cylinder 172 is rotatably arranged on the material box 171. The connecting rod structure 175 is arranged between the piston rod end of the second hydraulic cylinder 172 and one end of the feeding and discharging door 173. The other end of the feeding and discharging door 173 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the material box 171 through a bearing seat. The stop block 174 is fixed on the material box 171. The stop block 174 and the weighing sensor 160 are arranged correspondingly. The feeding and discharging door 173 has a structure of thick in the middle and thin on both sides, which can reduce the resistance when the material box 171 descends into the mixture of the fermentation tank under the premise of ensuring the strength.

[0040] Specifically, the working principle of this intelligent feeding and discharging robot is as follows: During operation, the large trolley traveling mechanism 110 moves horizontally along the tracks on both sides of the fermentation chamber 190, traversing each fermentation tank. The small trolley traveling mechanism 120 moves horizontally along the large trolley traveling mechanism 110 in a direction perpendicular to its movement. The steel frame 130 is connected with high-strength bolts, ensuring convenient and secure installation. The lifting mechanism 140 controls the vertical lifting of the material box 171. The lifting mechanism 140 is parallel to the guide mechanism 150, ensuring stable operation. During feeding, under the action of the large trolley traveling mechanism 110 and the small trolley traveling mechanism 120, the material box 171 first moves to the material retrieval position in the feeding storage pool 191 to retrieve material. The discharge gate 173 opens, and then the material box 171 descends, allowing the mixture containing organic solid waste to enter. When the material pile reaches the corresponding position of the rotary paddle level switch, the discharge gate 173 of the material box 171 closes. At this time, the stop block 174 contacts the weighing sensor 160 (the system pressure in the first hydraulic cylinder 141 is zero), and the weight and volume of the material box 171 are monitored and recorded in real time. Finally, the material box 171 is raised to the upper limit position, completing one feeding and discharging cycle. Then, feeding and distributing begins. During feeding and distributing, the trolley traveling mechanism 110 and the trolley traveling mechanism 120 move to the corresponding distributing position in the fermentation tank 190, and the material box 171 descends to the designated height. Then, the discharge gate 173 closes. 3. The mixture is opened, then falls, and the material box 171 is raised to the upper limit position. Finally, the inlet / outlet gate 173 closes, completing one feeding and material distribution cycle. The trolley traveling mechanism 110 and the trolley traveling mechanism 120 are respectively equipped with position encoders and proximity switches, enabling intelligent positioning of the trolley and trolley along the traveling direction. The trolley traveling mechanism 120 is equipped with gears, and the crossbeam of the trolley traveling mechanism 110 is equipped with racks and rails. When the trolley traveling mechanism 120 moves along the rails, the meshing of the gears and racks prevents the trolley from shaking and slipping, ensuring the positioning accuracy of the trolley traveling mechanism 120. After the organic solid waste mixture is aerobically fermented in the fermentation tank, it needs to be discharged. The trolley traveling mechanism 110 and the trolley traveling mechanism 120 first move to... The fermentation tank, once fermentation is complete and ready for finished product discharge, is used for material removal at the corresponding location. The material removal process is the same as the material feeding process and will not be described in detail. The weighing sensor 160 detects and records the amount of material removed each time. After that, the material is discharged and unloaded. The trolley traveling mechanism 110 and the trolley traveling mechanism 120 move to the corresponding position in the discharge pool 192, and the discharge gate 173 opens to discharge and unload the material. After all the material has been unloaded, the discharge gate 173 closes to complete the unloading. The entire material feeding and unloading operation is intelligently managed and remotely controlled. This intelligent material feeding and unloading robot has high structural strength, good corrosion resistance, is easy to install and disassemble, and is convenient to transport. The guide mechanism 150 adopts a four-axis guide, which is structurally stable, has greater load-bearing capacity, is more durable, and has better stability.Intelligent control, remote control, simple operation, energy saving, unmanned operation, large capacity of material box, large processing capacity and high efficiency of feeding and discharging, hydraulic system for opening and closing the door of the material box, simple structure, reliable operation, convenient maintenance, low failure rate, long service life and low maintenance cost.

[0041] It should be noted that the specific model and specification of the cart walking mechanism 110, the trolley walking mechanism 120, the first hydraulic cylinder 141, the weighing sensor 160, the second hydraulic cylinder 172 and the anti-rotation material level switch 180 need to be determined according to the actual specification of the device, and the specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in the art, so it will not be described in detail.

[0042] The power supply of the cart walking mechanism 110, the trolley walking mechanism 120, the first hydraulic cylinder 141, the weighing sensor 160, the second hydraulic cylinder 172 and the anti-rotation material level switch 180 and its principle are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
