Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of bulk material handling, and in particular to a material transfer device and a box-turning unloading system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, the bulk material transported by train is mainly transported by open wagon, but a considerable part of the bulk material is also transported by container. Specifically, the container can be loaded into the open wagon of the train for transportation. Since the bulk material can be lifted and loaded with the container, the unloading efficiency is higher, and therefore the transportation volume of bulk material by train container has increased significantly in recent years.

[0003] In order to adapt to the development of container transportation, the existing unloading method needs to be reconstructed, and a container unloading function needs to be added. The reconstruction project is often small in site, for example, the commonly used screw unloading coal on the market. In the screw unloading site, a double track is usually built with a very small distance between the two tracks, and the construction of the civil engineering or steel structure on both sides of the track is also close to the railway. The building height can only accommodate the existing screw unloading equipment, and the space is very compact. If the box-turning facility is added, since the guide hopper is fixed to the ground, it occupies a large amount of horizontal space, and for a narrow width site, it cannot be implemented.

[0055] This application proposes a material transfer device, referring to... Figures 1 to 4 The material transfer device includes: a beam frame mechanism, including a crossbeam 11; a first tilting mechanism 20, which is located on the crossbeam 11 and can move along the first direction where the crossbeam 11 is located; a material collection mechanism, including a guide hopper 31, which is used in conjunction with the first tilting mechanism to guide the flow of materials in the unloading state; the material collection mechanism also includes a lifting component 32, which is used to drive the guide hopper 31 to lift.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the existing gantry in the existing spiral unloading site can be used as the beam frame mechanism, and the first container turning mechanism 20 is arranged thereon. The width of the guide hopper 31 can be adapted to the unloading space. After the container is lifted away from the carriage, it can be translated along the first direction to above the guide hopper 31 by the first container turning mechanism 20. After being turned over by the first container turning mechanism 20, the bulk material falls into the guide hopper 31 below and enters the pit, ensuring concentrated unloading. After unloading is completed, the container is translated and lowered to the carriage, and the carriage is moved forward by one section. In this way, the next section of the carriage can be unloaded. Of course, when there is a need to pass through the channel where the guide hopper 31 is located, the guide hopper 31 can be driven to rise and leave the ground by the lifting assembly 32. The area below the guide hopper 31 can also be used for passing through the carriage, which has high space utilization and low modification cost.

[0057] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 32 includes a first driving cylinder drivingly connected with the guide hopper 31, which is used to lift or hoist the guide hopper 31. In the embodiment, the first driving cylinder can be arranged on the cross beam 11, and the lower end thereof is connected with the guide hopper 31, which can be used to lift the guide hopper 31. The first driving cylinder can be arranged at the four corners of the guide hopper 31, and the first container turning mechanism 20 can move between the two pairs of first driving cylinders. In this way, the first container turning mechanism 20 and the first driving cylinder can be prevented from interfering with each other. Of course, the first driving cylinder can also be arranged on the ground and on both sides of the track, and the upper end thereof is connected with the four corners of the guide hopper 31, which can be used to hoist the guide hopper 31. The former material collecting mechanism is arranged on the beam frame mechanism and can move with the beam frame mechanism, and the latter material collecting mechanism is independently arranged. After the guide hopper 31 is hoisted, the train can also pass through between the first driving cylinders.

[0058] Of course, the lifting assembly 32 described above can also use the lifting method of the winch. Specifically, the lifting assembly 32 includes a winch arranged on the beam frame mechanism, and a cable connected between the winch and the guide hopper 31. The cable can be a rope, a steel cable, or a chain. The guide hopper 31 is lifted by the winch, which is suitable for large stroke use scenarios, and ensures that the guide hopper 31 can be smoothly lifted within a large height range.

[0059] Further referring to Figure 4 The material transfer device further includes a second container turning mechanism 50 arranged on the cross beam 11, which is spaced apart from the first container turning mechanism 20 along the first direction and can move along the first direction. The guide hopper 31 is used in cooperation with the second container turning mechanism 50 for guiding the flow of materials in the unloading state. In the embodiment, the first container turning mechanism 20 and the second container turning mechanism 50 can be used in turn to unload into the guide hopper 31, further improving the unloading efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The aggregate collecting mechanism further comprises a first driving assembly 33 for driving the aggregate guide hopper 31 to move along a first direction so as to correspond to the first box tipping mechanism 20 and the second box tipping mechanism 50 respectively. In the present embodiment, the first box tipping mechanism 20 and the second box tipping mechanism 50 share one aggregate guide hopper 31, the carriages corresponding to the first box tipping mechanism 20 are first carriages, the carriages corresponding to the second box tipping mechanism 50 are second carriages, and the first carriages and the second carriages can be arranged in parallel. When the aggregate guide hopper 31 is unloaded corresponding to the first box tipping mechanism 20, the space near the side of the aggregate guide hopper 31 close to the second carriages is emptied, so as to facilitate the passing of vehicles. When the aggregate guide hopper 31 is unloaded corresponding to the second box tipping mechanism 50, the space near the side of the aggregate guide hopper 31 close to the first carriages is emptied, so as to facilitate the passing of vehicles.

[0061] The first driving assembly 33 described above can be arranged on a walking assembly on the cross beam 11, the walking assembly is provided with a roller and a motor for driving the roller to rotate, and the rotation of the roller driven by the motor can make the walking assembly move along the cross beam 11. The upper end of the first driving cylinder described above can be arranged on the walking mechanism, and the movement of the walking assembly can drive the aggregate guide hopper 31 below to move along the first direction, so as to switch the corresponding areas below the first box tipping mechanism 20 and the second box tipping mechanism 50. Of course, when the aggregate guide hopper 31 is lifted, the space between the first carriages and the second carriages can be passed.

[0062] The present application provides a material transfer device, comprising: a beam frame mechanism comprising a cross beam 11; a first box tipping mechanism 20 arranged on the cross beam 11 and capable of moving along a first direction in which the cross beam 11 is located; an aggregate collecting mechanism comprising an aggregate guide hopper 31 for corresponding to the first box tipping mechanism 20 above; the aggregate collecting mechanism further comprises a second driving assembly (not shown in the figure), which is used to drive the aggregate guide hopper 31 to move along a second direction to move away from the first box tipping mechanism 20. In the present embodiment, the second direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction and parallel to the first direction, and the aggregate guide hopper 31 can be driven by the second driving assembly and moved laterally out of the way, so as to leave the space above the material pit empty to facilitate the passing of vehicles such as trains or cars. Of course, the aggregate guide hopper 31 can also be moved obliquely out of the way, at this time the second direction intersects the first direction, and the aggregate guide hopper 31 can also avoid the space above the material pit to facilitate the passing of vehicles such as trains or cars. Here, a translation track perpendicular to the above track can be arranged on the ground, the length direction of the translation track is the second direction, and a wheel is arranged at the lower end of the aggregate guide hopper 31, the wheel is matched with the translation track, and the second driving assembly can be selected as an oil cylinder to drive the aggregate guide hopper 31 to move laterally along the second direction to avoid the train on the track.

[0063] The application provides a container turning and unloading system. The container turning and unloading system further comprises a third driving assembly 40 for driving the beam frame mechanism to move along a third direction. The third direction, the first direction and the vertical direction are perpendicular to each other. In the embodiment of the application, the third driving assembly 40 can be a guide wheel arranged at the lower end of the beam frame mechanism and a motor for driving the guide wheel to rotate. The third driving assembly 40 can be arranged on the ground or the upper end of a wall. Specifically, a guide rail can be arranged along the third direction. The guide wheel corresponds to the guide rail and can roll along the guide rail to drive the beam frame mechanism to move as a whole. When there is a certain positional deviation between the first container turning mechanism 20 and the container below, the third driving assembly 40 can drive the beam frame mechanism to move as a whole, so that the first container turning mechanism 20 can accurately correspond to the container below.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first container turning mechanism 20 comprises a translation driving assembly 21 arranged on the beam frame mechanism and capable of moving along the first direction, a turning assembly 22 arranged on the translation driving assembly 21 and used for driving the container to turn, and a hoisting assembly 23 arranged in the turning assembly 22 and used for hoisting the container. The translation driving assembly 21 can also be a trolley arranged on the cross beam 11. The trolley drives the turning assembly 22 to move along the first direction. The turning assembly 22 comprises a base arranged on the trolley and a turning seat rotationally connected with the base. The turning seat can be driven to rotate by a low-speed motor. The hoisting assembly 23 is arranged in the turning seat. The container can be locked and turned along with the turning seat after entering the turning seat.

[0065] In some embodiments, the container turning and unloading system further comprises a first track 61 and a second track 62 arranged below the cross beam 11. The first track 61 and the second track 62 are arranged along the first direction and the guide hopper 31 is arranged on the first track 61 or the second track 62. The length direction of the two tracks is the third direction mentioned above. The second track 62 is arranged above the material pit. A grate is arranged at the opening of the material pit. The grate is used for receiving the second track 62. During unloading, the bulk material can enter the material pit through the guide hopper 31 and the grate. The first track 61 and the second track 62 form a double-track structure and can be used for passing trains. The train carriages carrying containers can enter the bulk material loading and unloading station through the double tracks.

[0066] Since the bulk material loading and unloading station generally adopts a double-track structure, the first track 61 and the second track 62 mentioned above correspond to the two groups of tracks in the double-track structure. The container turning and unloading system in the embodiment of the application can be directly used for improving the existing bulk material loading and unloading station. In addition, since the first driving assembly 33 can also be used for driving the guide hopper 31 to move along the first direction, the material pit can be arranged below the first track 61 or the second track 62. In this way, the container turning and unloading system can unload the carriages on the first track 61. At this time, the second track 62 is empty and the guide hopper 31 is arranged on the second track 62. Of course, the carriages on the second track 62 can also be unloaded. At this time, the first track 61 is empty and is used for receiving the guide hopper 31.

[0067] Of course, the box tipping and unloading system in the embodiments of the present application can also be used in a single track scenario, that is, Figure 2 The second track 62 in the above is omitted, and the guide hopper 31 is directly received by the grate above the pit, and the space below the guide hopper 31 can be used for the truck to pass through, and this case also belongs to the scope protected by the present application. In addition, the box tipping and unloading system in the embodiments of the present application is not only suitable for container unloading in a railway transportation system, but also can be used for unloading in a transportation mode of heavy truck carrying containers, and the box tipping mechanism corresponds to the containers on the heavy truck to perform tipping and unloading. After completing the unloading of one container and placing it back on the heavy truck, the empty heavy truck drives out of the box tipping and unloading system, and the next heavy truck carrying containers enters the box tipping and unloading system, so that continuous unloading can be performed.

[0068] The above is only part or preferred embodiments of the present application, neither the text nor the drawings can limit the scope of protection of the present application, any equivalent structural transformation using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields under the concept of the whole of the present application are included in the scope of protection of the present application.
