[0033] As described in the background section, the current transfer of curved blocks mainly relies on manual carts, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Moreover, the transfer operation between different floors is also quite cumbersome, and the curved blocks cannot be quickly transferred to the various curved block stacking areas.

[0034] To address this issue, the present invention provides a curved block transfer system, comprising:

[0035] 100 dry koji baskets, used to hold koji blocks;

[0036] The vertical lifting subsystem 200 includes a vertical lift 210 connecting the first and second floors.

[0037] The first floor is equipped with a discharge conveyor 230 connected to the vertical lift 210, and the second floor is equipped with a feed conveyor 220 connected to the vertical lift 210.

[0038] The transfer subsystem 300, located on the first floor, includes a connecting conveyor 320 and a lifting transfer machine 310. The lifting transfer machine 310 is connected between the discharge conveyor 230 and the connecting conveyor 320 and is used to transfer the dry koji basket 100 on the discharge conveyor 230 to the connecting conveyor 320. The connecting conveyor 320 is used to transfer the dry koji basket 100 to the connecting position 323.

[0039] The aerial transport subsystem 400 includes a track network 410 set on the first floor and an automatic transfer vehicle 420 running along the track. The automatic transfer vehicle 420 is used to transfer the dry koji basket 100. The track network 410 covers the koji block placement area and the connection position 323 in the first floor, so that the automatic transfer vehicle 420 runs between the connection position 323 and the koji block placement area.

[0040] The curved block transfer system according to the embodiment of the utility model, through vertical lift 210 links up first floor and second floor, can realize the transfer of curved block between different floors, through setting up connection conveyor 320 and jacking transfer machine 310, can transfer dry curved basket 100 to designated connection position 323, in order to aerial transfer connection, through setting up the track network that covers curved block drop area and connection position 323, makes automatic transfer vehicle 420 pick up dry curved basket 100 at connection position 323, then carries dry curved basket 100 and transports to designated drop area along track network 410, finally drops curved block to designated area, can complete the automatic transfer of curved block across floor, cross area.

[0041] The seamless connection of the ground, vertical and aerial subsystems forms a continuous conveying network, eliminating the intermediate stagnation link of traditional manual handling, saving time and effort compared to manual transfer, greatly improving transfer efficiency, and automatically and evenly feeding in the warehouse, eliminating the need for manual entry into the dry curing warehouse for curved block stacking and leveling, improving production safety and reducing occupational hazards.

[0042] The curved block transfer system provided by the embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0043] According to Figure 1 The curved block transfer system provided by the embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0044] In this embodiment, the dry curved basket 100 is of a standardized structure, which can be compatible with the transfer or grabbing of various devices to reduce device adaptation time.

[0045] For example, referring to Figure 1 The dry curved basket 100 can be a rectangular parallelepiped structure with an open top. The dry curved basket 100 has plug-in holes at both ends along the length direction for easy clamping.

[0046] Further, in this embodiment, the number of dry curved baskets 100 can be multiple to facilitate continuous curved block transfer and ensure transfer efficiency. Moreover, a corresponding identification mark can be provided on each dry curved basket 100 to facilitate tracing of the batch, weight and process parameters of the curved blocks in different dry curved baskets 100, which is beneficial to the classified drop of curved blocks. For example, the identification mark can be an RFID electronic tag, which can directly interact with the system for data, making the operation simpler.

[0047] In the embodiment, the vertical lifting subsystem 200 is used to realize automatic transfer of the dry fermentation basket 100 across floors, eliminating the pain points of the current difficulty and low efficiency of the transfer of the fermentation block across floors.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment, the vertical lifting subsystem 200 includes a vertical lifting machine 210, which can be specifically selected from an existing lifting machine. Referring to Figure 1 , the vertical lifting machine 210 is connected to the first floor and the second floor, for example, the material port at the upper end is located in the second floor, and the material port at the lower end is located in the first floor, so that the vertical lifting machine 210 can realize automatic transfer of the dry fermentation basket 100 across floors between the first floor and the second floor, thereby improving the transfer efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0049] It should be noted that the embodiment does not limit the specific floors of the first floor and the second floor, which can be any two floors with a floor difference, for example, 1st floor and 2nd floor, or 2nd floor and 3rd floor, or 1st floor and 3rd floor, etc. Here, for the convenience of description, only the first floor is defined as lower than the second floor.

[0050] In addition, in the embodiment, one of the first floor and the second floor is a floor for loading the fermentation block, and the other is a floor for putting the fermentation block. For example, the second floor is defined as the floor for loading the fermentation block, and the first floor is defined as the floor for putting the fermentation block, so that the vertical lifting machine 210 is used to transport the dry fermentation basket 100 loaded with the fermentation block from the second floor to the first floor, thereby realizing the transfer of the fermentation block across floors.

[0051] Further, referring to Figure 1 , the second floor is provided with a feeding conveyor 220 connected to the upper end of the vertical lifting machine 210, and the dry fermentation basket 100 loaded with the fermentation block can be transported to the upper end of the vertical lifting machine 210 through the feeding conveyor 220, so as to realize automatic feeding and conveying of the vertical lifting machine 210, thereby improving the automation effect.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 , the first floor is provided with a discharging conveyor 230 connected to the lower end of the vertical lifting machine 210, and the dry fermentation basket 100 at the lower end of the vertical lifting machine 210 can be conveyed to other subsystems through the discharging conveyor 230, so as to realize discharging and conveying of the vertical lifting machine 210, thereby facilitating the improvement of the automation effect.

[0053] In the embodiment, the feeding conveyor 220 and the discharging conveyor 230 can be directly selected from an existing belt conveyor or chain conveyor.

[0054] In the embodiment, the transfer system 300 is a planar conveying system, which is connected with the vertical lifting system 200, and is used to transfer the dry curing baskets 100 conveyed by the vertical lifting system 200 to the designated transfer position 323, so as to be directly picked up by the aerial conveying system 400.

[0055] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , the transfer system 300 is arranged in the first floor, and includes a jacking transfer machine 310 and a transfer conveyor 320. The jacking transfer machine 310 is connected between the discharge conveyor 230 and the transfer conveyor 320, and is used to transfer the dry curing baskets 100 on the discharge conveyor 230 to the transfer conveyor 320, and then the dry curing baskets 100 are transferred to the transfer position 323 by the transfer conveyor 320, so as to realize the ground transfer of the dry curing baskets 100.

[0056] For example, referring to Figure 1 , the transfer conveyor 320 is arranged beside the conveying direction of the discharge conveyor 230, and the jacking transfer machine 310 is arranged between the connection end of the discharge conveyor 230 and the connection end of the discharge conveyor 230, so as to connect the discharge conveyor 230 and the discharge conveyor 230. In this way, the transfer conveyor 320 and the discharge conveyor 230 are staggered, which can avoid the excessive space occupation of the equipment (the transfer conveyor 320, the conveying track, etc.) in the conveying direction of the discharge conveyor 230, and is more conducive to the overall space arrangement of the system.

[0057] Further, in the embodiment, the arrangement of the transfer conveyor 320 also satisfies that the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor 320 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the discharge conveyor 230, for example, referring to Figure 1 , the discharge conveyor 230 and the transfer conveyor 320 are directly arranged perpendicular to each other, so as to further reduce the overlap of the two in the arrangement direction, and is more conducive to the space arrangement of the equipment, and avoids the excessive space occupation in a certain direction.

[0058] Further, corresponding to the perpendicular arrangement of the discharge conveyor 230 and the transfer conveyor 320, in the embodiment, the jacking transfer machine 310 can be a rotary jacking transfer machine that can realize 90-degree reversing conveying, so that the jacking transfer machine 310 is connected with the discharge conveyor 230 at the first reversing, and is connected with the transfer conveyor 320 at the second reversing. In this way, the jacking transfer machine 310 can realize the reversing transfer of the dry curing baskets 100 from the discharge conveyor 230 to the transfer conveyor 320, and ensure the reliability of the connection transition.

[0059] In the embodiment, the transfer conveyor 320 can directly select an existing chain conveyor or belt conveyor.

[0060] Referring to Figure 2In the embodiment, the docking position 323 can be directly arranged on the docking conveyor 320, for example, the docking position 323 can be arranged at the middle part of the docking conveyor 320. In this way, when the docking conveyor 320 transports the dry fermentation basket 100 to the middle part, the dry fermentation basket 100 has been positioned at the docking position 323, and at this time, the docking conveyor 320 only needs to be stopped to position the dry fermentation basket 100 at the docking position 323, compared with using other structures as the docking position 323 bearing structure, the structure can be simplified, and the transportation link of the dry fermentation basket 100 is reduced.

[0061] Further, in the embodiment, in order to improve the positioning accuracy of the dry fermentation basket 100 at the docking position 323, the docking conveyor 320 is further provided with a position detection device, the position detection device includes a photoelectric switch (not shown in the figure) in linkage control with the docking conveyor 320, and the photoelectric switch is arranged at the boundary of the docking position 323. The linkage control of the photoelectric switch and the docking conveyor 320 can be performed by the control system, for example, when the dry fermentation basket 100 is transported to the docking position 323, the photoelectric switch is triggered, and the photoelectric switch feeds back a signal to the control system, at this time, the control system controls the docking conveyor 320 to stop, so that the dry fermentation basket 100 is positioned at the docking position 323. In this way, the automatic positioning of the dry fermentation basket 100 is more conducive to be realized, and the automation degree is higher.

[0062] In the embodiment, the docking conveyor 320 is further provided with a limiting constraint structure 321, which is used to constrain the dry fermentation basket 100, so that the dry fermentation basket 100 is transported to the docking position 323 in a specified posture, so as to be smoothly grabbed, and the smooth operation of the system is ensured. For example, referring to Figure 1 In the embodiment, the limiting constraint structure 321 is mainly used to keep the dry fermentation basket 100 on the docking conveyor 320 in a posture that the length direction of the dry fermentation basket 100 is parallel to the conveying direction of the docking conveyor 320, so that the plug-in holes at both ends of the dry fermentation basket 100 are located in a specified direction, so as to be picked up by the aerial conveying subsystem 400.

[0063] Specifically, referring to Figure 2The limiting and restraining structure 321 includes two guide plates 3211 oppositely arranged on the two sides of the width direction of the connecting conveyor 320. In the width direction, the distance between the two guide plates 3211 is slightly larger than the width of the dry curing basket 100, so that a guide channel through which the dry curing basket 100 can pass is formed between the two guide plates 3211, facilitating the dry curing basket 100 to be placed on the connecting conveyor 320 in a posture parallel to the length direction and the conveying direction, guiding the movement of the dry curing basket 100, and the guide plates 3211 can also limit the dry curing basket 100, so that the dry curing basket 100 is conveyed in a specified posture, avoiding excessive inclination of the dry curing basket 100 leading to inaccurate positioning; in the length direction, the two guide plates 3211 extend along the conveying direction of the connecting conveyor 320, and the extension range at least includes the part from the connection end of the connecting conveyor 320 to the connecting position 323, so that the two guide plates 3211 can at least limit and guide the dry curing basket 100 on the path from the connection end to the connecting position 323, so as to limit and guide the dry curing basket 100 to the connecting position 323.

[0064] Further, in the embodiment, the end of the connecting conveyor 320 for connecting with the jacking and transferring machine 310, i.e. the connection end, is provided with a connecting structure, which is used to realize smooth connection of the dry curing basket 100 between the jacking and transferring machine 310 and the connecting conveyor 320, improving the running fluency of the lifting system.

[0065] For example, referring to Figure 2 The connecting structure includes two connecting plates 322 connected to the end portions of the two guide plates 3211, respectively. Each connecting plate 322 gradually inclines outward in the direction away from the guide plate 3211, so that the connecting plates 322 form a wide-in and narrow-out connecting entrance, facilitating smooth guiding of the dry curing basket 100 into the guide plates 3211.

[0066] In the embodiment, the aerial conveying subsystem 400 is arranged in the first floor, and is used to transfer the dry curing basket 100 to the curing block placing area in the first floor, realizing directional placing of the curing block.

[0067] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 The aerial conveying subsystem 400 includes a track network 410 and an automatic transfer vehicle 420, and the aerial transfer of the dry curing basket 100 is realized through the combination of the track network 410 and the automatic transfer vehicle 420, which can improve the transfer efficiency, avoid ground traffic congestion, and reduce the ground space occupation.

[0068] Referring to Figure 1The track network 410 includes a conveying track arranged on the first floor, and the conveying track at least covers the block delivery area in the first floor and the docking position 323 on the docking conveyor 320, so that the automatic transfer vehicle 420 can at least run between the docking position 323 and the block delivery area, realizing the directional delivery of the blocks.

[0069] The block delivery area can be understood as an area for stacking blocks in the first floor, for example, one or more silos are arranged in the first floor, and the silos are used to stack blocks, and the area corresponding to the silos is the block delivery area.

[0070] Correspondingly, in the embodiment, the track network 410 covering the block delivery area can be understood as that the conveying track at least passes above the silo, so that the automatic transfer vehicle 420 can deliver the blocks into the silo when passing by the silo. The track network 410 covering the docking position 323 can be understood as that the conveying track at least passes above the docking position 323, so that the automatic transfer vehicle 420 can stop above the docking position 323 to clamp the dry block basket 100.

[0071] Referring to Figure 1 The automatic transfer vehicle 420 is arranged on the conveying track and can run along the track, and is used to clamp the dry block basket 100 at the docking position 323, then run along the track network 410, and finally deliver the blocks in the dry block basket 100 into the block delivery area. In the embodiment, the automatic transfer vehicle 420 can directly select an existing EMS trolley, for example, it can adopt the EMS conveying trolley in the public number CN117509159A, and can realize clamping and overturning operations of the dry block basket 100.

[0072] The block transfer system provided in the above embodiment has the following use principle:

[0073] In the second floor, the dry block basket 100 filled with blocks is docked with the feeding conveyor 220 of the second floor by a cart, and the dry block basket 100 is conveyed to the material port of the vertical elevator 210 at the second floor by the feeding conveyor 220, and then the dry block basket 100 is conveyed downward to the first floor by the vertical elevator 210.

[0074] In the first floor, the discharging conveyor 230 receives the dry block basket 100 conveyed by the vertical elevator 210, and conveys the dry block basket 100 to the jacking transfer machine 310. Then, the jacking transfer machine 310 changes the conveying direction of the dry block basket 100 by 90 degrees and conveys the dry block basket 100 to the docking conveyor 320, and the docking conveyor 320 further conveys the dry block basket 100. When the photoelectric switch detects that the dry block basket 100 is conveyed to the docking position 323, the docking conveyor 320 stops, so that the dry block basket 100 is positioned at the docking position 323.

[0075] Then, the control automatic transfer vehicle 420 runs along the track network 410 to the transfer position 323, clamps and fixes the dry fermentation basket 100, and then carries the dry fermentation basket 100 along the track network 410 to the block delivery area, and finally delivers all the blocks in the dry fermentation basket 100 to the block delivery area, thereby completing the cross-floor transfer of the blocks.

[0076] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

[0077] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the application should be subject to the appended claims.
