TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of turnover vehicles, especially to a docking mechanism for a dolly and a rack. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the traditional logistics transportation of a factory, a dolly is often used to transport a material box to a line-side operation site. The logistics channel on site is narrow, and a logistics staff manually pushes the dolly to the line-side operation site, then takes down the material boxes one by one, and then recycles the empty boxes one by one, which is low in work efficiency and heavy in labor. The dolly with two flow bars of a slide becomes the first choice for transferring the material boxes, and the two dollies need to be positioned after the slide is manually blocked or opened to enable the flow of the material boxes between the two slides. This is time-consuming and laborious, and inconvenient to operate. SUMMARY

[0006] The docking component comprises a touch line rod fixed on the docking dolly, a rectangular frame provided on the docking rack, and a reset mechanism;
[0007] The docking rack is fixed below the end of the first-layer lower slide with a fixed rod arranged along the width direction of the first-layer lower slide, the middle part of the rectangular frame is sleeved outside the fixed rod, and the rectangular frame can rotate around the fixed rod;
[0008] The rectangular frame is initially kept upright under the action of the reset mechanism to block the downward sliding of the material of the first-layer lower slide;
[0009] The touch line rod is fixed on the docking dolly and horizontally extends towards the docking rack, when the docking dolly approaches the docking rack, the touch line rod extrudes the upper half of the rectangular frame to make the rectangular frame rotate to the first-layer upper slide through the first-layer lower slide.
[0010] Further, the reset mechanism comprises a positioning rod fixedly connected with the docking rack, the positioning rod is located below the fixed rod, and the end of the positioning rod abuts against the bottom frame of the rectangular frame when it is upright to limit the rotation of the bottom frame towards the docking dolly.

[0021] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions of the utility model, the following will further introduce the utility model in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0022] It should be noted that the terms "above," "one end," "up," etc. used in this document indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Similar expressions are only for illustrative purposes and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 The diagram illustrates a docking mechanism for a material cart and a material rack, comprising a docking material cart 1, a docking material rack 2, and docking components. The docking material rack 2 has a first-layer lower slide including two flow bars, and the docking material cart 1 has a first-layer upper slide that docks with the first-layer lower slide. The first-layer lower slide and the first-layer upper slide are located in the forward and backward directions, respectively. The first-layer lower slide and the first-layer upper slide are docked, and the material slides down from front to back. The material is preferably a material box used in conjunction with the flow bars.
[0024] The docking component is used to block or open the flow of material between the first-layer lower slide and the first-layer upper slide. The docking component includes a contact bar 8 fixed on the docking cart 1, a rectangular frame 6 respectively set on the docking rack 2, and a reset mechanism.
[0025] The material receiving rack 2 is fixed below the end of the first-layer sliding track with a fixed rod 21 arranged along the width direction of the first-layer sliding track. The middle part of the rectangular frame 6 is fitted over the fixed rod 21, and the rectangular frame 6 can rotate around the fixed rod 21. There is a gap between the fixed rod 21 and the end of the first-layer sliding track. The rectangular frame 6 includes a top frame, a bottom frame, and two side frames that connect the two ends of the top frame and the bottom frame, respectively. The height of the two side frames is circular in the middle, so that they are rotatably fitted onto the fixed rod 21, which divides the rectangular frame 6 into two parts.
[0026] The rectangular frame 6 initially remains upright under the action of the reset mechanism to block the material from sliding down the first-layer slide. The contact bar 8 is fixed on the docking cart 1 and extends horizontally towards the receiving rack 2. When the docking cart 1 approaches the docking rack 2, the contact bar 8 presses the upper part of the rectangular frame 6, causing the rectangular frame 6 to rotate until the material passes through the first-layer slide to the first-layer upper slide. The end of the first-layer slide has space for the rectangular frame 6 to rotate.
[0027] The touch line rod 8 protrudes and is lower than the input end of the first layer upper slide, and the position of the touch line rod 8 corresponds to the position of the rectangular frame 6. The touch line rod 8 is located in the front direction of the docking trolley 1, and the length direction of the touch line rod 8 is arranged along the front-rear direction. The touch line rod 8 can follow the docking trolley 1 to approach the rectangular frame 6, and the front end of the touch line rod 8 can extend into the docking rack 2. The rectangular frame 6 has two rotating positions. One is a vertical position, and the top frame of the rectangular frame 6 is higher than the bottom surface height of the material, so that the material is positioned on the end of the first layer lower slide. The second is that the top frame of the rectangular frame 6 rotates forward and into the interior of the docking rack 2 until the top frame of the rectangular frame 6 is lower than the bottom surface of the material, and the material slides out of the rectangular frame 6 and falls onto the first layer upper slide.
[0028] The reset mechanism comprises a positioning rod 4, which is located below the fixed rod 21 and is fixed to the inner side of the docking rack 2. The inner end and the front end of the positioning rod 4 away from the docking trolley 1 are fixedly connected with the docking rack 2, and the outer end and the rear end of the positioning rod 4 abut against the bottom edge frame of the rectangular frame 6 in the vertical position to limit the bottom edge frame from rotating in the direction of approaching the docking trolley 1 and rotating forward. In this way, the front direction of the upper half of the rectangular frame 6 is the material, and the front direction of the lower half of the rectangular frame 6 is the positioning rod 4. The rectangular frame 6 can remain in position to prevent the material from rotating the upper half of the rectangular frame 6 backward and causing the material to burst out. When the rectangular frame 6 rotates, the lower half of the rectangular frame rotates backward away from the positioning rod 4, and the upper half of the rectangular frame 6 pushes the material forward.
[0029] The reset mechanism further comprises a spring 5 and an inner rod 7, which are respectively located in the interior of the docking rack. The inner rod 7 is vertically fixed to the fixed rod 21 and integrally formed in a T shape with the fixed rod 21. One end of the inner rod 7 is fixed to the fixed rod, and the other end, i.e., the extension end, extends into the interior of the docking rack 2. The length direction of the inner rod 7 is arranged along the front-rear direction. The spring 5 is fixed between the extension end of the inner rod 7 and the bottom edge frame of the rectangular frame 6, and the rectangular frame 6 is reset to the vertical position under the action of the spring 5 after the rotation of the rectangular frame 6 is completed. When the bottom edge frame of the rectangular frame 6 rotates backward, the spring 5 is elongated. The positioning rod 4 can be directly fixed to the inner rod 7.
[0030] Preferably, the touch line rod 8 is two, and the two touch line rods 8 can respectively abut against the two opposite side frames of the rectangular frame 6.
[0031] The above only describes certain exemplary embodiments of the present application in a descriptive manner, and it is needless to say that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
