Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container tipping machines, and specifically designs a large-angle container tipping machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of global trade, containers are widely used as an important means of transportation. In container loading and unloading operations, container turning is a crucial task. Traditional container turning operations rely on manual calculation of the item's position and manual turning, which is inefficient and prone to errors, leading to prolonged container dwell time, increased logistics costs, and also affecting container safety and increasing the risk of cargo loss. Therefore, optimizing the container turning process to improve operational efficiency and safety is particularly important. Currently, the turning machines used domestically and internationally are length-oriented turning mechanisms, with turning angles all less than 90°. There is currently no hydraulically driven equipment for large-angle left-right turning. Utility Model Content

[0005] Preferably, the fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the ground, and a side bracket is obliquely provided on the outer side of the fixed bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating bracket includes a fixed panel, a bracket panel, and a mounting base for mounting the telescopic rod B. The bracket panel is connected to the bottom of the fixed panel, and four locking devices are provided, each located on the fixed panel.

[0007] Preferably, the locking device includes a limiting rotary lock that is connected to four fixing holes on the bottom of the container, and the fixing panel is provided with mounting holes, the limiting rotary lock being connected to the mounting holes.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes multiple position sensors for controlling the extension and retraction limit positions of telescopic rod A and telescopic rod B, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, both telescopic rod A and telescopic rod B are hydraulic cylinders.

[0010] Preferably, each of the two slewing supports is also equipped with two locking hooks, and the four locking hooks are connected to the corresponding locking holes on the top of the container.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: the unique structural design of telescopic rod A and telescopic rod B can significantly improve the load-bearing capacity of materials inside the container, and the operation is smooth. Through the crank arm transmission, the container tilting mechanism can achieve a large angle rotation of -110° to 110°; the bottom of the slewing structure is equipped with a unique steering lock locking mechanism, which makes the container very stable and reliable in installation and fixation; telescopic rod A and telescopic rod B are installed on fixed brackets or slewing brackets, and the independent installation feature greatly reduces the processing requirements and installation difficulty of the equipment.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0018] A container tipping machine, see Figure 1-4 It includes two fixed supports 1 arranged opposite each other, the fixed supports are fixedly connected to the ground, and the outer side of the fixed supports is provided with a side support 5 at an angle;

[0019] A rotating bracket 2 is rotatably connected between the two fixed brackets. The rotating bracket includes a fixed panel 21, a bracket panel 22, and a mounting base 23. The bracket panel 22 is connected to the bottom of the fixed panel 21.

[0020] The rotating support 2 is equipped with a locking device 3 to fix the bottom of the container. There are four locking devices 3, which are located on the fixing panel 21 respectively.

[0021] The locking device 2 includes a limiting rotary lock 31 that is connected to four fixing holes at the bottom of the container. The fixing panel 21 is provided with mounting holes, and the limiting rotary lock 31 is connected to the mounting holes. The limiting rotary lock 31 includes: a rotary lock head 311, a rotary lock positioning sleeve 312, a positioning ring 313, and a locking nut 314.

[0022] It also includes a drive mechanism 4 for driving the rotary support 2 to rotate. The drive mechanism 4 includes a crank arm 41, a telescopic rod A42, and a telescopic rod B43. Both telescopic rod A41 and telescopic rod B43 are hydraulic cylinders. One end of the crank arm 41 is rotatably connected to the fixed support 1. The telescopic rod A42 is hinged to the other end of the crank arm 41 and the fixed support 1. The telescopic rod B43 is mounted on the mounting base 23 and is hinged to the middle of the crank arm 41. The telescopic rod B43 is fixed to the rotary support 2. The telescopic rods A42 and B43 can extend and retract simultaneously or individually.

[0023] It also includes multiple position sensors used to control the extension limit positions of telescopic rods A42 and B43, respectively.

[0024] To ensure safety, two locking hooks are installed on the left and right sides of the support panel 22 on both sides of the slewing bracket 2. The four locking hooks are connected to the locking holes on the top of the container. The locking hooks are turnbuckles with hooks.

[0025] Before container installation, the rotary lock head 311 and rotary lock positioning sleeve 312 are placed in the same direction as the container base mounting holes, and the rotary lock positioning sleeve 312 is lower than the upper surface of the fixed panel. After the container is hoisted into place, the rotary lock positioning sleeve 312 is lifted up so that it is higher than the upper surface of the fixed panel to achieve the positioning and guiding fixation of the container. Then, the rotary lock head 311 is rotated to 90° so that it presses against the container corner pieces. Then, the pre-tightening lock nut 314 is rotated to put the rotary lock head 311 into a pre-tightened state.

[0026] When telescopic rod A42 remains stationary and telescopic rod B43 extends or retracts, telescopic rod B42 pushes the crank arm 41 and telescopic rod A42 to rotate, causing the entire rotating bracket 2 to rotate left and right around the point where the crank arm 41 and the fixed bracket 1 are rotatably connected; when telescopic rod B43 remains stationary and telescopic rod A42 extends or retracts, telescopic rod A42 pushes the crank arm 41 and telescopic rod B43 to rotate, causing the entire rotating bracket 2 to rotate left and right around the point where the crank arm 41 and the fixed bracket 1 are rotatably connected.
