Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of concrete transportation technology, and in particular to a concrete rail transportation device. Background Technology
[0002] The concrete torpedo container, as an aerial precision concrete delivery system, is primarily used for the rapid and safe transport of concrete between concrete mixing centers and precast component production centers. Resembling a torpedo-like cylinder, it travels along a predetermined aerial track, delivering proportionally proportioned concrete to designated locations.
[0003] The working principle of a concrete torpedo cisternor is relatively simple yet highly efficient. Concrete is prepared according to specifications at the concrete mixing center and then loaded into the torpedo cisternor. It is then transported along an overhead track to the placing boom at the precast center.
[0004] Existing rail-guided concrete transport systems are generally only suitable for torpedo tankers for concrete discharge. When it is necessary to also handle the loading and unloading of concrete trucks, a separate discharge port is often required, which increases costs and floor space. This makes them unsuitable for situations with limited space and inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a concrete rail transport device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A concrete silo is installed on the protective platform. A receiving pipe is installed on the lower side of the concrete silo. A controller is installed on one side of the receiving pipe.
[0008] The torpedo canister transporter includes a guide frame, a drive wheel, and a torpedo canister. The torpedo canister has a base at both ends, a drive seat on the upper side of the base, a rotating shaft on the drive seat, the drive wheel connected to the rotating shaft, and the drive wheel adapted to the track. The guide frame has a guide wheel on the lower side, and the guide wheel abuts against the track.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 A concrete rail transport device includes a rail 1 and a support 2. The support 2 is provided in multiple sets and is evenly arranged under the rail 1 for stabilizing the rail 1. The rail 1 includes two rows of parallel slide rails connected end to end in a ring shape to facilitate the cyclic transport of the carrier and improve the concrete transport efficiency. The slide rail is provided with at least two guide rods. Multiple guide rods can improve the load-bearing capacity and transport stability of the slide rail.
[0022] At least one torpedo canister transporter 3 is slidably mounted on track 1. A protective platform 4 is provided on the upper side of track 1. A concrete silo 5 is provided on the protective platform 4 for temporary storage and distribution of concrete. A valve is provided at the bottom of the concrete silo 5. The concrete silo 5 is correspondingly mounted to the torpedo canister transporter 3 for conveying and distributing concrete to the torpedo canister transporter 3.
[0023] A receiving pipe 51 is provided on the lower side of the concrete silo 5 for delivering concrete to concrete trucks on the ground. A controller 52 is provided on one side of the receiving pipe 51. The top end of the receiving pipe 51 is hinged to the lower end of the concrete silo 5. The controller 52 includes a winch and a steel cable. One end of the steel cable is connected to the outer wall of the receiving pipe 51. By pulling the steel cable with the winch, the receiving pipe 51 is deflected to avoid the torpedo canister transporter 3, thereby switching the delivery position and delivering concrete to the torpedo canister transporter 3 or the concrete truck.
[0024] The torpedo canister transporter 3 includes a guide frame 31, a drive wheel 32, and a torpedo canister 35. The torpedo canister 35 has a base 34 at both ends, a drive seat 33 on the upper side of the base 34, a rotating shaft on the drive seat 33, and a drive motor inside the drive seat 33. The drive wheel 32 is connected to the rotating shaft and is adapted to the track 1. At least two pairs of drive wheels 32 are provided, corresponding to two rows of slide rails, ensuring stable support for the torpedo canister transporter 3 and allowing for smooth movement. The drive wheel 32 is positioned between two guide rods and abuts against the lower guide rod. Multiple load-bearing guide rods can be configured below the lower guide rod, directly fixed by welding short rods to increase load capacity, improve safety and reliability. The surface of the drive wheel 32 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve, ensuring that the torpedo canister transporter 3 can be moved by the drive wheel 32, preventing rain and snow from affecting concrete delivery.
[0025] The guide frame 31 is provided with a guide wheel on its lower side. The guide wheel abuts against the track 1. The axis of the guide wheel is set vertically. The side wall of the guide wheel abuts against the guide rod. The guide frame 31 is rotatably connected to the drive seat 33. An elastic element is provided at the connection. The elastic element is a spring or rubber. The drive seat 33 is oscillatingly connected to the machine base 34. When the track 1 changes, the guide wheel moves along the track direction, causing the guide frame 31 to deflect. This flexibly pulls the drive seat 33 to deflect, changing the direction of the drive wheel 32 and keeping it in contact with the track 1, thus preventing the drive wheel 32 from leaving the track.
[0026] The torpedo canister 35 is rotatably connected to the base 34. A control box 36 is provided on one side of the base 34. A rotary motor corresponding to the torpedo canister 35 is provided inside the control box 36. The rotary motor controls the rotation of the torpedo canister 35, adjusts the opening orientation, and completes the pouring or loading of concrete.
[0027] In this embodiment, the drive motor controls the drive wheel 32 to rotate through the shaft, causing the torpedo canister transporter 3 to slide on the track 1 and reach the lower side of the concrete silo 5. Under normal conditions, the winch suspends the receiving pipe 51 through the steel cable, which facilitates the addition of concrete material from the concrete silo 5 to the torpedo canister 35. Then the drive wheel 32 rotates, driving the torpedo canister transporter 3 to the transport destination. During the transport process, the guide wheel abuts against the track 1 and adjusts the direction of the drive wheel 32 in time, thereby ensuring the reliability of the transport and preventing the drive wheel 32 from derailing.
[0028] When it is necessary to add materials to the concrete mixer truck, the torpedo canister transporter 3 is moved away, the winch lowers the steel cable, and the receiving pipe 51 falls down. Due to gravity, it hangs naturally, and the concrete hopper 5 adds materials to the concrete mixer truck through the receiving pipe 51 until the concrete loading is completed. The winch then raises the receiving pipe 51 to facilitate the subsequent concrete transportation by the torpedo canister transporter 3.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
