Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turnover carts, and in particular to a front-facing docking mechanism for material carts and material racks. Background Technology

[0002] In factory logistics, trolleys are commonly used to transport material boxes to the production line. However, the on-site logistics channels are often narrow, requiring logistics personnel to manually push the trolleys to the production line, unload the boxes one by one, and then collect the empty boxes individually. This process is inefficient and labor-intensive. Furthermore, even with existing technology using material trolleys with double-layered tracks, material transport often requires both tracks to allow or block the passage of boxes simultaneously. Current technology typically involves manually blocking or maintaining the flow of boxes between the two tracks, or using a positioning component for each track to block or prevent boxes from passing through the upper and lower tracks separately, requiring two separate operations of the positioning component.

[0003] Therefore, a new docking mechanism is needed to simplify the material flow process between the upper and lower slides. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a front-facing docking mechanism for material carts and racks that simplifies the material flow process of upper and lower two-layer slides.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A front-facing docking mechanism for a material cart and a material rack includes a docking material cart, a docking material rack, and docking components. The docking material rack is provided with a first-layer lower slide and a second-layer lower slide, and the docking material cart is provided with a first-layer upper slide and a second-layer upper slide.

[0007] The docking component includes a contact bar and an intercepting plate respectively disposed on the docking trolley, and a rectangular frame and a reset mechanism respectively disposed on the docking rack;

[0008] The docking rack has a fixed rod arranged along the width direction of the first layer of the sliding track below the end of the first layer of the sliding track. The middle part of the rectangular frame is fitted outside the fixed rod, and the rectangular frame can rotate around the fixed rod.

[0009] The rectangular frame initially remains upright under the action of the reset mechanism to prevent the material in the first sliding channel from sliding down.

[0010] The contact bar is fixed on the docking cart and extends horizontally toward the receiving frame. When the docking cart approaches the docking frame, the contact bar squeezes the upper half of the rectangular frame, causing the rectangular frame to rotate until the material passes through the first lower slide to the first upper slide.

[0011] The intercepting plate is vertically slidably connected to the docking trolley, and the intercepting plate is used to intercept the material on the second-layer upper slide.

[0012] A pull rope is fixed between the top center of the interceptor plate and the docking trolley. When the rectangular frame rotates, the bottom end of the rectangular frame bends the pull rope toward the inside of the docking trolley, thereby lifting the interceptor plate. The material passes through the second upper slide to the second lower slide.

[0013] Furthermore, the reset mechanism includes a positioning rod fixedly connected to the docking rack. The positioning rod is located below the fixing rod, and the end of the positioning rod abuts against the bottom edge of the rectangular frame when it is erected to restrict the bottom edge from rotating toward the docking cart.

[0014] Furthermore, the reset mechanism also includes a spring and an internal rod. The internal rod is vertically fixed to the fixed rod and extends into the interior of the docking rack. The spring is fixed between the extended end of the internal rod and the bottom edge of the rectangular frame. After the rectangular frame rotates, it resets to the upright state under the action of the spring.

[0015] Furthermore, sliders are fixed at both ends of the interceptor plate, and the sliders are slidably connected to the guide rail of the docking trolley.

[0016] Furthermore, there are two touch rods, and the two touch rods can respectively contact the two opposite left and right sides of the rectangular frame.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] By pressing the contact bar, the rectangular frame is rotated from its initial upright state, which blocks the material from sliding down. The top frame of the rectangular frame rotates inward towards the material receiving rack, and its bottom frame rotates inward towards the material receiving cart. The top frame rotates until it is below the bottom surface of the material on the first sliding track, allowing the material to slide down from the first sliding track to the first upper sliding track. Simultaneously, the rotation of the bottom frame strikes the pull rope. The pull rope, initially upright, is used to suspend the interceptor plate, which blocks the material on the second upper sliding track from sliding down to the second sliding track. The pull rope folds under the action of the rectangular frame, raising the interceptor plate and releasing the material. By manually pushing the material receiving cart, the contact bar is activated, simultaneously triggering the passage of material on both the first and second sliding tracks. The entire process is simple, convenient, and does not utilize electrical components, thus improving work efficiency and reducing energy consumption and emissions. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] 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. In addition, the terms "part," "two parts," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 The diagram illustrates a front-facing 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 and a second-layer lower slide, while the docking material cart 1 has a first-layer upper slide and a second-layer upper slide. The first-layer lower slide and the first-layer upper slide are located forward and backward, respectively. The first-layer lower slide and the first-layer upper slide dock together, allowing material to slide down from front to back. The second-layer lower slide and the second-layer upper slide dock together, allowing material to slide down from back to front. Both the first-layer lower slide and the first-layer upper slide include two spaced-apart flow strips. The material is preferably a material box used in conjunction with the flow strips.

[0028] The docking components include a contact bar 8 and an interceptor plate 3 respectively installed on the docking material cart 1, a rectangular frame 6 and a reset mechanism respectively installed on the docking material rack 2.

[0029] The material receiving rack 2 is fixed with a fixed rod 21 arranged along the width direction of the first-layer slide rail at the end of the first-layer slide rail and below the output end. 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. It is easy to imagine that space should be left at the end of the first-layer slide rail for the rectangular frame 6 to rotate. There is a gap between the fixed rod 21 and the end of the first-layer slide rail. 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, and the fixed rod 21 divides the rectangular frame 6 into two parts.

[0030] 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 toward the receiving rack 2. When the docking cart 1 approaches the docking rack 2, the contact bar 8 squeezes 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.

[0031] The contact bar 8 protrudes and is lower than the input end of the first-layer upper slide, its position corresponding to that of the rectangular frame 6. The contact bar 8 is located in front of the docking trolley 1, its length arranged along the front-to-back direction. The contact bar 8 can follow the docking trolley 1 towards the rectangular frame 6, and its front end can extend into the docking rack 2. The rectangular frame 6 has two rotational positions: one is an upright position, where the top frame of the rectangular frame 6 is higher than the bottom surface of the material, allowing the material to be positioned at the end of the first-layer lower slide. The other position is where the top frame of the rectangular frame 6 rotates forward and inward into the docking rack 2 until the top frame of the rectangular frame 6 is lower than the bottom surface of the material, causing the material to leave the rectangular frame 6 and slide onto the first-layer upper slide.

[0032] The interceptor plate 3 is vertically slidably connected to the docking trolley 1, and is used to intercept material on the second-layer upper slide. The interceptor plate 3 is located on the front side of the docking trolley, above the output end of the second-layer upper slide. A pull rope is fixed between the top center of the interceptor plate 3 and the docking trolley 1, and the initial position of the interceptor plate 3 is positioned by the pull rope. When the rectangular frame 6 rotates, the bottom end of the rectangular frame 6 and the bottom frame bend the pull rope inward towards the docking trolley 1, causing the pull rope to fold and lift the interceptor plate 3, allowing the material to pass through the second-layer upper slide to the second-layer lower slide.

[0033] Preferably, sliders 31 are fixed at both ends of the interceptor plate 3, and the sliders 31 are slidably connected to the guide rail of the receiving cart 1. This makes the movement of the interceptor plate 3 smoother and more accurate.

[0034] The reset mechanism includes a positioning rod 4, which is located below the fixed rod 21 and fixed to the inner side of the docking rack 2. The inner end and front end of the positioning rod 4, away from the docking cart 1, are fixedly connected to the docking rack 2. Its outer end and rear end abut against the bottom edge of the upright rectangular frame 6 to restrict the bottom edge from rotating forward towards the docking cart 1. In this way, the upper half of the rectangular frame 6 faces the material, and the lower half faces the positioning rod 4. The rectangular frame 6 can remain stationary, preventing the material from rotating the upper half of the rectangular frame 6 backward and causing the material to be ejected. 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.

[0035] The reset mechanism also includes a spring 5 and an internal rod 7, which are located inside the docking rack. The internal rod 7 is vertically fixed to the fixed rod 21, forming a T-shape with the fixed rod 21. One end of the internal rod 7 is fixed to the fixed rod, and its other end, the extension end, extends into the interior of the docking rack 2. The length of the internal rod 7 is arranged along the front and back. A spring 5 is fixed between the extension end of the internal rod 7 and the bottom edge of the rectangular frame 6. After the rectangular frame 6 rotates, it resets to the upright position under the action of the spring 5. When the bottom edge of the rectangular frame 6 rotates backward, the spring 5 is stretched.

[0036] Positioning rod 4 can be directly fixed to the internal rod 7.

[0037] Preferably, there are two touch rods 8, and the two touch rods 8 can respectively contact the two opposite side frames of the rectangular frame 6.

[0038] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
