Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics and warehousing, and particularly relates to a roller conveying device capable of lifting. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the logistics and warehousing industry, sea-air containers (sea shipping containers or air cargo containers) are widely used for cargo transportation. In order to improve the loading and unloading efficiency, a track (generally a non-powered roller track) and a roller conveying device are provided on the bottom plate of many sea-air containers. The cargo is stacked on a pallet, and during the loading and unloading process, the roller conveying device drives the pallet to move along the track. The rollers of the existing roller conveying device need to be raised above the track surface in order to make close contact with the pallet. However, during the loading and unloading process, there may be cases of cargo blockage (unconventional stoppage of the pallet). If the total weight of the pallet (including the cargo) is a large load, the pressure between the roller and the pallet is large, and at this time the roller will stop rotating (in the case of a small load, the roller slips, which is not discussed in this application), causing the motor of the roller conveying device to overload, and even be scrapped due to overloading. Therefore, it is urgent to research a roller conveying device that can avoid motor overload in the case of large load and cargo blockage. SUMMARY

[0003] To this end, the utility model provides a roller conveying device capable of lifting to solve the above technical problems.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a liftable roller conveyor 300, including a lower housing 310, a lifter, an intermediate housing 330, an electric roller 340, and an upper housing 350. The lower housing 310 has an opening at its top. The lifter is located at the bottom of the lower housing 310. The intermediate housing 330 is movably disposed within the lower housing 310 and above the lifter. The intermediate housing 330 also has an opening at its top. The electric roller 340 is installed in the intermediate housing 330, with its roller protruding from the opening at the top of the intermediate housing 330. The upper housing 350 has an opening at its bottom and is fixed to the top of the lower housing 310. The upper housing 350 has a window 351 at its top. When the lifter is inflated, the intermediate housing 330 moves upward under the action of the lifter, and the roller of the electric roller 340 protrudes from the window 351.

[0034] Exemplarily, the lifting device can be an airbag 320, a liquid bladder, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, a lead screw, or a cam mechanism; the number of lifting devices can be one or more, and multiple lifting devices are evenly distributed within the lower housing 310. In this embodiment, the lifting device is a strip-shaped or rectangular airbag 320; two airbags 320 are provided, and the two airbags 320 are laid side by side. It should be noted that the shape of the airbag 320 is not limited to strip or rectangle, but can also be circular, annular, cylindrical, etc.; the number of airbags is also not limited to two, but can also be one, three, four, etc.

[0035] The roller conveying device 300 provided by the utility model can be installed between guide rails (for example, roller guide rails), a plurality of roller conveying devices 300 are installed along the extension direction of the guide rails, and the plurality of roller conveying devices 300 are arranged at intervals; a power connector and an air source connector are arranged at the tail part of the sea-air container 100, and the power connector and the air source connector are connected with a control console and an air compressor in a loading and unloading site respectively; the control console controls the working state (positive and reverse) of each electric roller 340 and the inflation and deflation of each air bag 320; after the air bag 320 is inflated, the volume of the air bag 320 is expanded, the middle shell 330 is lifted upwards, and the roller of the electric roller 340 protrudes from the window 351; under the condition that the inflation pressure is constant, the lifting or ejecting force of the air bag 320 is constant; when the total weight of the tray and the goods on the tray exceeds the lifting or ejecting force of the air bag 320, the electric roller 340 and the middle shell 330 are forced to move downwards by a certain distance, so that the upper edge of the roller is flush with the upper edge of the track 200; at this time, the positive pressure between the roller and the tray is equal to the ejecting force of the air bag 320; therefore, when the loading and unloading process encounters a situation of goods blocking, even in the case of large load, the positive pressure between the roller and the tray will not be particularly high, so that the roller can rotate relative to the tray (that is, the roller slips), thereby avoiding motor overload; the lifting or ejecting force of the air bag 320 is related to the air pressure of the air bag 320, and the air bag 320 can be inflated with appropriate air pressure according to needs. After the goods are loaded, the pressure in the air bag 320 can be released; at this time, the height of the middle shell 330 and the electric roller 340 is lowered, and the weight of the tray is completely borne by the track 200 or the bottom plate, thereby reducing the probability of goods shaking when braking or accelerating suddenly, and the tray will not impact the roller.

[0036] In the embodiment, the lower shell 310 is provided with a vertically arranged lower partition plate 311, the lower partition plate 311 divides the inner cavity of the lower shell 310 into a left lower cavity and a right lower cavity, the air bag 320 is arranged in the right lower cavity, one side of the air bag 320 is provided with an air nozzle, and the air nozzle is arranged in the left lower cavity. The air bag 320 and the air nozzle are arranged in two cavities respectively, and after the air bag 320 is released, the middle shell 330 will not press on the air nozzle. The left side wall of the left lower cavity is provided with a connector (omitted in the figure, only the mounting hole of the connector is shown) connected with a gas pipeline arranged in the sea-air container 100, and the connector is connected with the air nozzle through a gas pipe.

[0037] In the embodiment, the upper shell 350 is provided with an upper partition plate 352 arranged vertically, which separates the inner cavity of the upper shell 350 into a left upper cavity and a right upper cavity, the window 351 communicates with the right upper cavity, and the controller 360 for controlling the electric roller 340 is installed in the left upper cavity. The controller 360 is relatively stationary in the whole shell by separating the controller 360 and the electric roller 340 by the upper partition plate 352, avoiding damage of the controller 360 caused by the sea container 100 being jolted and shaken; and the electric roller 340 is fixed in the middle shell 330, the middle shell 330 can only be lifted and lowered in a small range, and the air bag 320 after pressure relief has a certain buffering and damping function, avoiding damage of the electric roller 340 caused by shaking and vibration.

[0038] In the embodiment, the upper partition plate 352 corresponds to the position of the lower partition plate 311; the upper end of the lower partition plate 311 is provided with a lower wire hole 312, and the lower end of the upper partition plate 352 is provided with an upper wire hole 353, the upper wire hole 353 and the lower wire hole 312 correspond to each other and form a strip-shaped wire hole. In this way, when the electric roller 340 is lifted and lowered, the connecting line between the controller 360 and the electric roller 340 passes through the strip-shaped wire hole, and the connecting line can move along the strip-shaped wire hole.

[0039] In the embodiment, the left and right ends of the middle shell 330 are respectively provided with limiting sliding blocks 331, the limiting sliding block 331 at the left end abuts against the right side surface of the lower partition plate 311 or the upper partition plate 352, and the limiting sliding block 331 at the right end abuts against the right side inner wall of the right lower cavity or the right upper cavity. In this way, the middle shell 330 is more stable during lifting and lowering. Exemplarily, the limiting sliding block 331 can be made of hard plastic with a small friction coefficient.

[0040] In the embodiment, the open outer edges of the lower shell 310 and the upper shell 350 are respectively provided with flanges, and the upper shell 350 and the lower shell 310 are connected by the flanges and bolts. Exemplarily, the flanges are welded and fixed with the upper shell 350 or the lower shell 310; the bolts and the flanges facilitate the assembly of the whole machine and the connection is reliable.
