[0035] The utility model provides a kind of tank box turnover device and tank box turnover system, wherein tank box turnover device can make the turnover process of tank box more convenient and fast, to effectively improve the production efficiency of tank box, specific scheme is explained by following embodiment.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , tank box turnover device 100 includes support assembly 10, lifting assembly 20 and rotating assembly 30. Wherein, lifting assembly 20 is movably arranged on support assembly 10. Rotating assembly 30 is arranged on lifting assembly 20, so that rotating assembly 30 can move with lifting assembly 20. Rotating assembly 30 is used to clamp tank box 400, and drive tank box 400 to rotate.

[0037] It should be noted that the movement of lifting assembly 20 and the rotation of rotating assembly 30 can be manually or automatically controlled.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , support assembly 10 includes two vertical extension vertical frames 11, and two vertical frames 11 are arranged at intervals.

[0039] In some embodiments, each vertical frame 11 includes two vertical extension vertical beams 111 and a plurality of transverse extension connecting beams 112. Two vertical beams 111 are arranged at intervals. Connecting beam 112 is arranged between two vertical beams 111, and the two ends of connecting beam 112 are connected with a vertical beam 111 respectively. The arrangement of vertical beam 111 and connecting beam 112 can effectively increase the strength of vertical frame 11 itself, so as to facilitate stable support of lifting assembly 20.

[0040] The lifting assembly 20 is arranged between the two vertical frames 11 and can move up and down along the extension direction of the vertical frames 11, so as to adjust the position of the rotating assembly 30 on the lifting assembly 20 in the vertical direction, and ensure that the rotating assembly 30 can accurately clamp the tank container 400.

[0041] Specifically, in some embodiments, the support assembly 10 includes a connecting frame 12, a first motor 13, and a driving rod 14. The two ends of the connecting frame 12 are respectively connected with the top ends of the vertical frames 11, so that the support assembly 10 forms a structure similar to a gantry. The first motor 13 is arranged on the connecting frame 12 to ensure the stability of the support assembly 10, avoiding that the first motor 13 is arranged on one of the vertical frames 11, so that the two vertical frames 11 are unevenly stressed and affect the stability of the support assembly 10. For the convenience of description, the extension direction of the connecting frame 12 is defined as the front-rear direction.

[0042] The driving rod 14 is provided with two, which are respectively arranged on one side of one vertical frame 11 facing the other vertical frame 11. The first motor 13 is in transmission connection with the driving rod 14, so that the driving rod 14 can rotate under the drive of the first motor 13. The two sides of the lifting assembly 20 are respectively connected with the two driving rods 14. When the driving rod 14 rotates, the lifting assembly 20 moves up and down along the extension direction of the driving rod 14. The driving rod 14 can be a lead screw or the like.

[0043] In other embodiments, the lifting assembly 20 can also be lifted on the support assembly 10 by an oil cylinder transmission. For example, the oil cylinder is in transmission connection with the first motor 13 and the lifting assembly 20. When the extension end of the oil cylinder is driven to extend and retract by the first motor 13, the lifting assembly 20 moves up and down along with the extension end of the oil cylinder.

[0044] In some embodiments, the support assembly 10 further includes a linear guide rail 15. Each vertical beam 111 in each vertical frame 11 can be provided with a linear guide rail 15. The two sides of the lifting assembly 20 are provided with connecting devices (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the linear guide rails 15. The linear guide rail 15 has the functions of guiding, supporting, and accurate positioning, which is beneficial to the balance of the lifting assembly 20 when moving up and down, ensures that the lifting assembly 20 moves stably, and does not appear to crawl at low speed. In addition, the arrangement of the linear guide rail 15 can also reduce the frictional resistance of the lifting assembly 20 when moving up and down, reduce the wear of the lifting assembly 20 under long-term use, and thus be beneficial to prolong the service life of the tank container turnover device 100.

[0045] The support assembly 10 comprises a walking mechanism 16. The walking mechanism 16 is arranged at the bottom of the vertical frame 11. The walking mechanism 16 facilitates the movement of the tank box overturning device 100, so that the tank box overturning device 100 can be moved to a suitable position according to the different lengths of the tank box 400, so as to facilitate the clamping of the tank box 400 by the rotating assembly 30. The two walking mechanisms 16 of the tank box overturning device 100 are synchronously driven to ensure the stable movement of the tank box overturning device 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 20 comprises a fall arrest device (not shown) having a counterweight and a fall arrest self-locking function, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the lifting assembly 20 during operation, and preventing the lifting assembly 20 from loosening and causing accidents.

[0047] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 20 comprises a plurality of connecting rods 21 and a plurality of spaced-apart closed frames 22. Each connecting rod 21 extends transversely. The plurality of closed frames 22 are connected by the connecting rods 21.

[0048] Specifically, in the present embodiment, two closed frames 22 are provided, and the two ends of each connecting rod 21 are connected to the closed frames 22, respectively. In the extension direction of the connecting beam 112 along the vertical frame 11, the vertical frame 11 is located between the two closed frames 22. The provision of the vertical frame 11 between the two closed frames 22 has the functions of limiting and guiding, and can avoid the deviation of the lifting assembly 20 during the lifting movement.

[0049] Each closed frame 22 is hollow inside, so that a plurality of closed frames 22 connected by connecting rods 21 form a containing space 23. Part of the rotating assembly 30 is installed in the containing space 23, so that the rotating assembly 30 can move up and down with the lifting assembly 20.

[0050] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the closed frame 22 is a square frame, and in other embodiments, the closed frame 22 can also be a rectangular frame, a polygonal frame, etc., and the specific shape can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.

[0051] The rotating assembly 30 is rotatably arranged on the lifting assembly 20. Specifically, the rotating assembly 30 comprises a main body 31, a driving member 32 and a driven member 33. The outer periphery of the main body 31 is provided with the driven member 33 in transmission connection with the driving member 32. When the driving member 32 is started, the driven member 33 is driven by the driving member 32 to drive the main body 31 to rotate relative to the lifting assembly 20.

[0052] It should be noted that the driving member 32 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of driving members 32 can drive one driven member 33 simultaneously. Alternatively, the driving member 32 is provided in plurality, the driven member 33 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of driving members 32 correspondingly drive each driven member 33. The present application takes the driving member 32 provided in one and the driven member 33 provided in one as an example for description.

[0053] In some embodiments, the main body 31 comprises a rotating part 311 and a mounting part 312. The rotating part 311 is embedded in the accommodating space 23 of the lifting assembly 20, i.e. the rotating part 311 is arranged inside the accommodating space 23 of the lifting assembly 20. The mounting part 312 is located outside the accommodating space 23. The driven member 33 is arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating part 311, so that the rotating part 311 is driven by the driving member 32 to rotate relative to the lifting assembly 20. The driving member 32 is arranged on the lifting assembly 20, for example, the driving member 32 can be arranged on the connecting rod 21 in the lifting assembly 20; alternatively, the driving member 32 can be arranged on the closing frame 22 in the lifting assembly 20, which can be arranged according to actual needs, as long as it can be in transmission connection with the driven member 33 to drive the rotating part 311 provided with the driven member 33 to rotate. The present embodiment takes the driving member 32 arranged on the connecting rod 21 as an example for description. The rotating part 311 and the mounting part 312 are fixedly connected, so that the mounting part 312 can rotate relative to the lifting assembly 20 along with the rotating part 311.

[0054] In the present embodiment, the driving member 32 comprises a driving motor 321 and a gear 322, and the gear 322 is driven by the driving motor 321 to rotate. The driven member 33 comprises a rack 331, and the rack 331 is in meshing connection with the gear 322. The rack 331 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating part 311. The gear 322 rotates to drive the rotating part 311 to rotate.

[0055] In other embodiments, the driving member 32 can comprise a driving motor 321 and a sprocket, and the sprocket is driven by the driving motor 321 to rotate. The driven member 33 comprises a chain, and the chain is in meshing connection with the sprocket. The chain is arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating part 311. The sprocket rotates to drive the rotating part 311 to rotate.

[0056] It should be noted that the gear 322 transmission or sprocket transmission has a wide range of transmission power and speed, has a constant transmission ratio, can not only effectively transmit the driving force of the driving member 32 to drive the rotating part 311 to rotate, but also can ensure the reliable operation of the rotating assembly 30, and is conducive to prolonging the service life of the rotating assembly 30 and ensuring the safety of the tank overturning device 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the rotating part 311 is installed in the accommodating space 23 of the lifting assembly 20, the driven part 33 can be arranged in the middle of the accommodating space 23, so as to facilitate the stability of the lifting assembly 20 and the support assembly 10. The driven part 33 can be arranged in the middle of the rotating part 311, so as to balance the force of the rotating part 311, avoid shaking or deflection due to uneven force, and improve the operation stability of the rotating assembly 30.

[0058] In some embodiments, the rotating part 311 comprises a plurality of annular rings 3111 and a plurality of connecting columns 3112, the plurality of annular rings 3111 are connected by the connecting columns 3112, and the plurality of annular rings 3111 are arranged in parallel with the extension direction of the vertical frame 11. The plurality of connecting columns 3112 are arranged in parallel with the circumferential direction of the annular ring 3111. Such arrangement can make the rotating part 311 lightweight as a whole, so as to facilitate the driving of the driving part 32. At the same time, such arrangement can effectively ensure the structural strength of the rotating part 311 and the uniform distribution of the force points, and effectively improve the stability and durability of the rotating assembly 30.

[0059] The number of annular rings 3111 can be set according to actual needs, and four annular rings 3111 are taken as an example in the embodiment. The driven part 33 is arranged around the outer periphery of one of the annular rings 3111. The mounting part 312 is fixedly connected to the annular ring 3111 closest to the outermost part of the support assembly 10.

[0060] Participation Figure 4 In some embodiments, the tank overturning device 100 comprises a guide assembly 40 for guiding the rotation of the rotating assembly 30. Specifically, the guide assembly 40 comprises a plurality of guide mechanisms 41 arranged on the lifting assembly 20 and in parallel with the circumferential direction of the rotating assembly 30. Each guide mechanism 41 comprises a roller 411, and the surface of the roller 411 is in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the rotating assembly 30. The rotation of the rotating assembly 30 can drive the roller 411 to rotate. In addition, the guide assembly 40 also has a limiting and supporting effect, which can ensure the stable rotation of the rotating assembly 30 in the lifting assembly 20. In addition, such arrangement can effectively disperse the load and avoid excessive local stress.

[0061] In some embodiments, the guide mechanism 41 is arranged on both ends of the connecting rod 21 in the lifting assembly 20, so as to ensure the uniform distribution of the gravity of the lifting assembly 20 and facilitate the stable operation thereof. The guide mechanism 41 on one end of the connecting rod 21 is in contact with one of the annular rings 3111 of the rotating part 311, the guide mechanism 41 on the other end of the connecting rod 21 is in contact with the other annular ring 3111 of the rotating part 311, and the annular ring 3111 provided with the driven part 33 is arranged between the two annular rings 3111. Such arrangement can further ensure the uniform stress and stable operation of the rotating assembly 30.

[0062] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 30 comprises a limiting mechanism (not shown in the figure) which can be arranged on the closing frame 22 or the connecting rod 21 of the lifting assembly 20. The limiting mechanism is used to limit the rotation of the rotating assembly 30. Specifically, the limiting mechanism comprises a clamp. When the rotating part 311 in the rotating assembly 30 needs to be stopped after rotating by a certain angle, the clamp in the limiting mechanism can be driven to clamp the connecting column 3112 in the rotating part 311, in addition to stopping the driving of the motor 321 to limit the rotation of the gear 322.

[0063] The rotating assembly 30 comprises a clamping mechanism 34. The clamping mechanism 34 is used to clamp the tank container 400. The clamping mechanism 34 is connected with the main body 31 and rotates with the main body 31, thereby realizing the overturning of the tank container 400.

[0064] Specifically, the tank container 400 comprises a tank body 410 and an end frame 420 fixedly arranged on the tank body 410. The clamping mechanism 34 is used to clamp the end frame 420. The clamping mechanism 34 is arranged on the mounting part 312. The shape of the mounting part 312 can be the same as that of the end frame 420. When the clamping mechanism 34 clamps the end frame 420, the clamping mechanism 34 rotates with the mounting part 312 and drives the tank container 400 to rotate, thereby realizing the overturning of the tank container 400.

[0065] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 34 is provided with two clamping mechanisms 34, each of which comprises two clamping parts 341 and at least one lead screw 342, the clamping part 3411 is movably arranged on the lead screw 342, and the two clamping parts 341 can move away from or close to each other. The end frame 420 in the tank container 400 is located between the two clamping parts 341. Among them, the two clamping parts 341 can clamp and fix the end frame 420 by moving close to each other. Correspondingly, the two clamping parts 341 can release the clamping of the end frame 420 by moving away from each other. In addition, this kind of arrangement means that the tank container overturning device 100 can clamp end frames 420 of different sizes, thereby being applicable to the overturning of tank containers 400 of various models.

[0066] Among them, the lead screw 342 can be consistent with the extension direction of the vertical frame 11, that is, extend in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the lead screw 342 can be consistent with the extension direction of the connecting frame 12, that is, extend in the front-back direction. The present embodiment takes the vertical arrangement of the lead screw 342 as an example for description.

[0067] Specifically, in the present embodiment, each clamping mechanism 34 comprises two second motors (not shown in the figure) and two lead screws 342. Each lead screw 342 is drivingly connected with a second motor and a clamping part 3411. The lead screw 342 is driven to rotate by the second motor and drives the clamping part 3411 to move along the extension direction of the lead screw 342.

[0068] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 34 comprises a fixed rod 343 and a guide rail 344. The fixed rod 343 is arranged on the mounting portion 312. The lead screw 342, the second motor and the guide rail 344 can be arranged on the fixed rod 343. The fixed rod 343 extends vertically, and the guide rail 344 is consistent with the extension direction of the fixed rod 343. The clamping portions 3411 in the clamping mechanism 34 are in transmission connection with the guide rail 344. The guide rail 344 can be a linear guide rail or the like. The arrangement of the guide rail 344 is conducive to ensuring the stable and accurate movement of the clamping portions 3411.

[0069] Each clamping portion 3411 is used for fastening connection with the corner piece of the end frame 420. In some embodiments, the two clamping portions 3411 of the clamping mechanism 34 are respectively a first clamping portion 3411 and a second clamping portion 3412. The first clamping portion 3411 comprises a first vertical segment 3414 and a first horizontal segment 3413. The first vertical segment 3414 is arranged vertically and extends towards the direction of the second extension portion. The first vertical segment 3414 and the first horizontal segment 3413 are arranged at an angle. The second clamping portion 3412 comprises a second vertical segment 3416 and a second horizontal segment 3415. The second vertical segment 3416 is arranged vertically and extends towards the direction of the first extension portion. The second vertical segment 3416 and the second horizontal segment 3415 are arranged at an angle. When the first clamping portion 3411 and the second clamping portion 3412 are close to each other, the first horizontal segment 3413 abuts against the top end surface of the end frame 420, and the second horizontal segment 3415 abuts against the bottom end surface of the end frame 420.

[0070] It should be noted that the extension direction of the first horizontal segment 3413 and the second horizontal segment 3415 can be consistent with the extension direction of the connecting rod 21 in the lifting assembly 20, that is, extending horizontally; or the extension direction of the first horizontal segment 3413 and the second horizontal segment 3415 can be consistent with the extension direction of the connecting beam 112 in the lifting assembly 20, that is, extending front to back.

[0071] In addition, the four clamping portions 3411 in the two clamping mechanisms 34 correspond to the fastening connection of the four corner pieces of the end frame 420 respectively, which can ensure that the end frame 420 is uniformly stressed when clamped, and is conducive to protecting the end frame 420 and avoiding damage caused by uneven stress.

[0072] Each corner piece in the end frame 420 of the tank container 400 is usually provided with a hole position. The hole position is used for hoisting the tank container 400, or fixing, stacking and the like of multiple tank containers placed in overlap. The clamping portion 3411 is provided with a protruding block 3417, which is used for extending into the hole position of the corner piece in the end frame 420 to improve the connection stability of the clamping mechanism 34 and the end frame 420. The shape and size of the protruding block 3417 can be adapted to the shape and size of the hole position on the end frame 420, which is not limited herein.

[0073] The protrusions 3417 can be arranged on the first horizontal section 3413 and the second horizontal section 3415 of the clamping portion 341, or on the first vertical section 3414 and the second vertical section 3416 of the clamping portion 341, or on the first horizontal section 3413, the second horizontal section 3415, the first vertical section 3414 and the second vertical section 3416.

[0074] It should be noted that the main body 31 is provided with a receiving cavity 313. The end portion of the tank body 410 can exceed the end frame 420, so when the clamping mechanism 34 clamps the end frame 420 at one end of the tank box 400, the portion of the tank body 410 exceeding the end frame 420 can be accommodated in the receiving cavity 313, thereby ensuring smooth overturning of the tank box 400. In some embodiments, the cross section of the receiving cavity 313 can be circular. The diameter of the circle is large, so as to be compatible with tank boxes 400 of various sizes, so that the tank box overturning device 100 has high versatility.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 5 The application also provides a tank box overturning system having the above-mentioned tank box overturning device 100.

[0076] The tank box overturning system includes two tank box overturning devices 100. The two tank box overturning devices 100 are respectively located at the two ends of the tank box 400. The tank box 400 includes a tank body 410 and end frames 420 fixedly arranged at the two ends of the tank body 410. The two tank box overturning devices 100 correspondingly clamp the two end frames 420 and drive the tank body 410 to rotate.

[0077] In other embodiments, only one tank box overturning device 100 can be provided in the tank box overturning system. For example, the tank box overturning device 100 clamps the end frame 420 at one end of the tank box 400, and the other end of the tank box 400 can be supported by other external devices and will not affect the rotation of the tank box 400.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 1 The tank box overturning system includes two tracks 200, and each walking mechanism 16 in the tank box overturning device 100 can correspondingly move along the extension direction of a track 200. The two tank box overturning devices 100 can move closer to or away from each other, so as to clamp and overturn tank boxes 400 of different lengths. In addition, it can be understood that the two tank box overturning devices 100 can also drive the tank box 400 to move after clamping and fixing the tank box 400, so as to realize the displacement of the tank box 400.

[0079] The arrangement of the above-mentioned track 200 enables the tank box overturning system to form an automatic assembly line, which effectively improves the efficiency compared with the traditional way of overturning the tank box 400 by using a truss, realizes automatic operation, successfully breaks through the technical difficulties of the tank box overturning and displacement in the mechanical industry, and realizes efficient overturning of the tank box 400.

[0080] In some embodiments, the track 200 is provided with a guide rack (not shown) on the side surface, and the walking mechanism 16 comprises a driving wheel (not shown) matched with the guide rack, and the arrangement of the guide rack and the driving wheel can effectively ensure the walking accuracy of the tank container overturning device 100.

[0081] In some embodiments, the walking mechanism 16 comprises a rail clamp 161. The rail clamp 161 is fixed on the track 200 and is used to stabilize the tank container overturning device 100, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of overturning of the tank container overturning device 100 when moving on the track 200, thereby ensuring the safety of the tank container overturning device 100.

[0082] It should be noted that in the tank container overturning system of the present embodiment, the lifting assembly 20 and the rotating assembly 30 in the two tank container overturning devices 100 preferably move synchronously, thereby improving the efficiency.

[0083] In some embodiments, the tank container overturning system comprises at least one lifting device 300, which is arranged between the two tank container overturning devices 100 and is used to lift the tank container 400.

[0084] It should be noted that the lifting device 300 can be a scissor lift, a mobile lift, a hydraulic lift, an electric cylinder lift, etc., as long as it can support and lift the tank container 400.

[0085] The specific operation of using the tank container overturning system in the present embodiment to overturn the tank container 400 can be as follows: the lifting device 300 carries and upwardly lifts the tank container 400, so that the tank container 400 is separated from the platform or other plane; then the lifting assembly 20 in the tank container overturning device 100 is lowered, and at the same time, the tank container overturning devices 100 at both ends of the tank container 400 move towards the direction of approaching the tank container 400, so that the end frame 420 at the end of the tank container 400 is located between the two clamping parts 3411 in the clamping mechanism 34, and then the second motor of the clamping mechanism 34 is controlled to move the first clamping part 3411 and the second clamping part 3412 towards each other to clamp and fix the end frame 420 of the tank container 400; after the fixing is completed, the lifting device 300 is lowered, and the lifting assemblies 20 in the two tank container overturning devices 100 move synchronously to lift the tank container 400 to a safe position; then the driving part 32 in the rotating assembly 30 of the two tank container overturning devices 100 is controlled to simultaneously drive the main body 31 to rotate, thereby realizing the overturning of the tank container 400.

[0086] The tank box overturning device 100 of the present application has good stability, is convenient to operate, has strong compatibility, can be applied to efficient overturning of tank boxes 400 of various models, can significantly improve the production efficiency of the tank boxes 400, has high economic benefits, and has high popularization value in the tank container manufacturing industry. In addition, only a small number of operators are needed to control the components in the tank box overturning device, thereby effectively saving labor costs.

[0087] The above embodiments are only exemplary descriptions of structures, and the structures in each embodiment are not fixedly combined structures. In the absence of structural conflicts, the structures in multiple embodiments can be arbitrarily combined for use.
