DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only used to facilitate the description of the present application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0030] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, the problems existing in the prior art turnover tank are described as follows: the prior turnover tank comprises a support and a tank body placed on the support, and a fork is used to support the support so as to realize lifting of the turnover tank. The turnover tank is limited in size by the process station space, so the size of the support is smaller than that of the fork, that is, the turnover tank is not compatible with part of the fork, and the applicability is low. At present, the problem is usually solved by replacing the support during the transfer process, but the tank body loaded with materials is heavy, which leads to a cumbersome replacement process and a risk of tipping over.

[0031] Based on this, in one aspect, the present application provides a turnover tank for realizing turnover of materials between different processes, and the applicability of the turnover tank is high.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the turnover tank comprises a support 110, a tank body 120 and at least two groups of telescopic assemblies. The tank body 120 is arranged on the support 110, and the at least two groups of telescopic assemblies are arranged at intervals along a first direction on the support 110, and the telescopic assembly comprises a first telescopic rod 131, which is connected to the support 110 in a reciprocating manner along a second direction at an angle to the first direction, and the first telescopic rod 131 can extend and retract from the support 110 during movement along the second direction.

[0033] In the embodiment shown in Figure 1 , the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular. In addition, it can be determined that in the preferred embodiment, the number of telescopic assemblies is two.

[0034] With the above-mentioned turnover tank, in some processes, the first telescopic rod 131 is retracted into the support 110, so that the size of the turnover tank meets the requirements of the process; in other processes, the first telescopic rod 131 is extended out of the support 110 to increase the size of the turnover tank, so that the first telescopic rod 131 and the support 110 are supported on the fork 210 at the same time, realizing lifting of the turnover tank, so that the applicability of the turnover tank can be effectively improved. At the same time, there is no need to replace the support 110, which is more convenient to use and avoids the risk of tipping over during the replacement process of the support 110.

[0035] In one embodiment, the telescopic assembly further comprises a second telescopic rod 132, which is connected to the support 110 in a reciprocating manner along the second direction, and the second telescopic rod 132 can extend and retract from the support 110 during movement along the second direction. Wherein, the first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132 can respectively extend from the opposite sides of the support 110 along the second direction, so that the extended first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132 are respectively supported on the two prongs of the fork 210.

[0036] It can be understood that the first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132 are extended out of the bracket 110, and the heights of the two are the same, so as to avoid the tilting of the turnover tank. Meanwhile, in the case of only the first telescopic rod 131, the height of the first telescopic rod 131 is also the same as the height of the position on the bracket 110 which is in contact with the fork 210, so as to avoid the tilting of the turnover tank on the fork 210.

[0037] In an embodiment, the telescopic assembly further comprises a connecting pipe 133, which is fixedly connected to the bracket 110 and extends along the second direction. The first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132 are both arranged in the connecting pipe 133, and the first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132 can be respectively extended out of the two ends of the connecting pipe 133 during the movement along the second direction.

[0038] It can be understood that the two ends of the connecting pipe 133 are not extended out of the bracket 110, but can be flush with the edges of the bracket 110, so that the telescopic rods extended out of the ends of the connecting pipe 133 are extended out of the bracket 110. Meanwhile, by arranging the connecting pipe 133, the structural strength of the bracket 110 can be enhanced. In addition, the connecting pipe 133 can also be part of the bracket 110, as shown in Figure 1 The connecting pipe 133 is used to connect two shelves arranged at intervals, so that the two shelves are fixed to form the bracket 110.

[0039] Of course, in other cases, Figure 1 The connecting pipe 133 in the bracket 110 can also be only part of the bracket 110, and the telescopic rod can be directly movably connected to the bracket 110 by other ways, for example, a nut is welded on the bracket 110 or a threaded hole is arranged on the bracket 110, the telescopic rod is threadedly connected with the nut, and the telescopic rod is extended out and retracted by rotating the telescopic rod.

[0040] In an embodiment, the telescopic assembly further comprises a locking member 134, which is arranged on the connecting pipe 133 and is used to lock and release the first telescopic rod 131. When the locking member 134 locks the first telescopic rod 131, the first telescopic rod 131 is fixed relative to the connecting pipe 133; when the locking member 134 releases the first telescopic rod 131, the first telescopic rod 131 can reciprocate along the second direction. In this way, when it is needed to keep the first telescopic rod 131 in the state of being retracted into the bracket 110 or extended out of the bracket 110, the first telescopic rod 131 can be fixed by the locking member 134, so as to avoid the movement of the first telescopic rod 131 affecting the corresponding operation; when it is needed to adjust the position of the first telescopic rod 131, so that the first telescopic rod 131 is extended out of or retracted into the bracket 110, the first telescopic rod 131 can be released by the locking member 134, and then the first telescopic rod 131 is moved along the second direction, and after the position adjustment is completed, the first telescopic rod 131 is fixed by the locking member 134.

[0041] It can be determined that the second telescopic rod 132 can also be locked and released by the locking member 134, and the locking and releasing manner is the same as that of the first telescopic rod 131, that is, the telescopic assembly includes two locking members 134, and the two locking members 134 are respectively used for locking and releasing the first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132. The locking and releasing manner of the first telescopic rod 131 is described below, and the locking and releasing manner of the second telescopic rod 132 is not described.

[0042] In an embodiment, the side wall of the connecting pipe 133 is provided with an adjusting hole 1331 extending in the second direction, and one end of the locking member 134 penetrates through the adjusting hole 1331 and is threadedly connected with the first telescopic rod 131. When it is needed to lock the first telescopic rod 131, the locking member 134 is tightened, so that the locking member 134 abuts against the side wall of the connecting pipe 133; when it is needed to release the first telescopic rod 131, the locking member 134 is loosened. At the same time, it can be determined that the locking member 134 moves with the first telescopic rod 131 during movement of the first telescopic rod 131 in the second direction, so the adjusting hole 1331 can limit the movement range of the locking member 134 and the first telescopic rod 131.

[0043] In other embodiments, the locking member 134 is threadedly connected with the side wall of the connecting pipe 133, and one end of the locking member 134 extends into the inside of the connecting pipe 133 and can abut against the first telescopic rod 131, so as to fix the first telescopic rod 131 when the first telescopic rod 131 is pressed. Similarly, the first telescopic rod 131 can be released after the locking member 134 is loosened. Of course, in order to limit the movement range of the first telescopic rod 131, it is preferred that the locking member 134 is threadedly connected with the first telescopic rod 131, and in this way, the first telescopic rod 131 can be moved by the locking member 134, and when the first telescopic rod 131 is retracted into the connecting pipe 133, it is more convenient to adjust the position of the first telescopic rod 131 by the locking member 134.

[0044] In an embodiment, the turnover tank further includes a plurality of rollers 111 arranged at the bottom of the support 110, so as to realize movement of the turnover tank and facilitate material transfer. At the same time, the rollers 111 can increase the height of the support 110, and further increase the height of the telescopic assembly, so as to facilitate movement of the forks 210 to the lower side of the telescopic assembly. Further, the turnover tank further includes a handle 112 arranged at the side of the tank body 120.

[0045] In an embodiment, the tank body 120 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet is located at the top of the tank body 120 for inputting materials, and the outlet is located at the bottom of the tank body 120 for outputting materials. Further, the tank body 120 is also provided with an observation port, which is located at the top of the tank body 120, and the observation port is provided with a transparent plate or is detachably covered with a sealing plate 141 to facilitate observation of the internal material. In actual application, the turnover tank further includes an inlet cover 142 and an outlet valve 143, the inlet cover 142 is movably arranged at the inlet of the tank body 120 for opening and closing the inlet, and the outlet valve 143 is arranged at the outlet of the tank body 120 for opening and closing the outlet.

[0046] In an embodiment, the tank body 120 includes a body 121 and a cover 122, the cover 122 is arranged at the top of the body 121 and is fixed with the body 121 by a clamp; the inlet and the observation port are arranged in the cover 122, and the outlet is arranged in the body 121. It can be determined that the inlet is arranged in the cover 122, so the caliber of the opening in the body 121 closed by the cover 122 is larger than that of the inlet and the outlet matched with the inlet, and the cover 122 can be easily removed for cleaning the tank body 120. At the same time, the cover 122 and the body 121 are connected by the clamp, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0047] In an embodiment, the turnover tank further includes a breather valve 144 and a vibrator 145, both of which are arranged in the tank body 120, and the breather valve 144 is arranged in the cover 122 for achieving air pressure balance in the tank body 120 during the process of feeding or discharging, and the vibrator 145 is arranged at the side of the body 121 for shaking the tank body 120 during discharging to reduce the materials adhered to the inner wall.

[0048] On the other hand, based on the turnover tank in the above-mentioned embodiments, the application further provides a transfer device, which includes the turnover tank in the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0049] Further, the transfer device further includes a lifting mechanism, which includes a fork 210 and two sets of limiting blocks 220, the two sets of limiting blocks 220 are arranged at intervals on the fork 210 to form a limiting space.

[0050] In the case of only arranging the first telescopic rod 131, the support 110 and the first telescopic rod 131 are carried on the fork 210 and located in the limiting space; in the case of arranging both the first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132, the first telescopic rod 131 and the second telescopic rod 132 are carried on the fork 210 and located in the limiting space. By arranging the limiting blocks 220, the turnover tank is prevented from falling off during lifting and lowering.
