Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind power generation technology, and in particular to an integrated sorting and storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In the wind power industry, the production of wind turbines involves the installation of large studs. Due to the lack of supporting equipment, workers must manually handle and assemble these studs. Furthermore, the components for such large wind turbine equipment are very large and heavy. After sorting, they are inserted into designated material carts and then pushed to the workstation, where they are then installed onto the wind turbine components using lifting tools or other methods. However, the existing installation method has the following drawbacks:
[0003] First, the large number of studs required necessitates a large number of material trolleys, which occupy a lot of space and each trolley can only hold a limited number of studs.
[0004] Secondly, due to the large size of the studs, workers have to manually lift the materials and place them on the storage trolley, which makes it extremely inconvenient for people to sort and move them, resulting in slow equipment installation progress, low production efficiency, excessive labor intensity, and certain harm to the human body. Manual handling also poses certain safety hazards.
[0005] Third, during installation, workers need to use ladders or aerial ladders to carry materials up to different heights of the studs. Working at heights is labor-intensive, poses high safety risks, and requires highly skilled operators. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sorting and storage integrated device for overcoming the problems existing in the prior art described in the background.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a sorting and storage integrated lifting device, including a lifting device, a lifting operation platform is installed on one side of the lifting device through a platform lifting component, the lifting operation platform is driven to move up and down through the platform lifting component, and a hopper is installed at the lower end of the other side of the lifting device.
[0008] The lifting device includes a frame and a lifting drive component. The frame has a gap in the middle. A rotating shaft is installed at both the top and bottom of the frame. The lifting drive component is connected to any rotating shaft. A sprocket is installed at both ends of each rotating shaft.

Several hook fixtures are installed on each conveyor chain. The hook fixtures on the two conveyor chains are arranged opposite each other and located in the gap area.
[0009] Furthermore, the hook fixture includes a mounting base, which is bolted to the conveyor chain. A limit seat is installed on the upper working plate of the mounting base. The limit seat is composed of two triangles joined together, and the two triangles are joined in parallel to form a support groove in the middle.
[0010] Furthermore, the conveyor line is a mobile conveyor line.
[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor line includes a conveyor frame, on which a drive motor is mounted. A rack is mounted on the bottom surface of the conveyor frame, and a gear that meshes with the rack is mounted on the output end of the drive motor. Several conveying teeth are provided on both sides of the top surface of the conveyor frame, and a working groove for supporting materials is formed between adjacent conveying teeth.
[0012] Furthermore, a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor is installed on one side of the conveyor frame, and the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor is positioned close to the top surface of the conveyor teeth.
[0013] Furthermore, a slide rail assembly is installed between the base of the lifting equipment in the conveying frame and the interval area.
[0014] Furthermore, the lifting operation platform includes an operation platform, on both sides of which are equipped with robotic arms for gripping materials, and a display bracket is installed on the top surface of the side plate of the operation platform, on which a display is installed.
[0015] Furthermore, the robotic arm includes a rotating platform, one end of which is mounted on an operating platform, and the other end of which is mounted on a cantilever base.

[0017] Furthermore, bases are installed on both sides of the lifting equipment, which can be fixed or sliding.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model eliminates the manual handling and loading process in the material feeding and installation process, replaces manual sorting of materials with automatic sorting, replaces material loading into the vehicle with lifting storage, and replaces manual material retrieval and installation with lifting operation platform retrieval. After integrating the three functions and adding a walking function, it realizes continuous production at multiple workstations.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0035] like Figures 1-8 The sorting and storage elevated integrated device shown includes a lifting device 1. The lifting device 1 automatically operates in both directions according to the material reserves and worker needs, without affecting the feeding process, while cooperating with workers to select and install appropriate parts. A lifting operation platform 3 is installed on one side of the lifting device 1 through a platform lifting assembly 2. The lifting operation platform 3 is driven to move up and down by the platform lifting assembly 2. A hopper 4 is installed at the lower end of the other side of the lifting device 1.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting device 1 is a lifting storage device. The lifting device 1 includes a frame 11 and a lifting drive component. The frame 11 is a profile with a gap in the middle. The upper and lower ends of the frame 11 are equipped with rotating shafts. The lifting drive component is connected to any rotating shaft. Each rotating shaft has a sprocket at both ends. A conveyor chain 12 is installed on the upper and lower sprockets on the same side. A conveyor line 5 for conveying materials is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the frame 11. Several hook fixtures 13 are installed on each conveyor chain 12. The hook fixtures 13 on the two conveyor chains 12 are arranged opposite each other and located in the gap area. The width of the conveyor line 5 is smaller than the width of the gap area. The hook fixtures 13 on the two conveyor chains 12 are arranged in pairs (that is, the hook fixtures 13 on the same horizontal line on the two conveyor chains 12 always remain on the same line so that materials can be clamped).
[0037] Among them, the top surface of the bottommost hook fixture 13 on the conveyor chain 12 is lower than the top surface of the conveyor line 5, and the working surface of the hook fixture 13 is always set upward.
[0038] In addition, the platform lifting component 2 can be a slide rail component, a wire rope lifting component, a hydraulic lifting component, or an electric hoist, depending on factors such as application scenario, load requirements, and safety standards.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the hook fixture 13 includes a mounting base 14, which is bolted to the conveyor chain 12. A limit seat 15 is installed on the upper working plate of the mounting base 14. The limit seat 15 is composed of two triangles joined together. After the two triangles are joined in parallel, a support groove is formed in the middle. In addition, a photoelectric detector is also installed on the hook fixture 13 to detect whether there is material.
[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, conveyor line 5 is a movable conveyor line.
[0041] The conveyor line 5 includes a conveyor frame 51, on which a drive motor 52 is installed. A rack 53 is installed on the bottom surface of the conveyor frame 51. A gear 54 that meshes with the rack 53 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 52. Several conveying teeth 55 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the conveyor frame 51. A working groove for supporting materials is formed between adjacent conveying teeth 55.
[0042] The working groove and clamping groove on the conveyor line 5 are formed by parallel splicing of adjacent triangular blocks. A diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 56 is installed on one side of the conveyor frame 51, and the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 56 is set close to the top surface of the conveyor tooth 55.
[0043] A slide rail assembly is installed between the base of the conveyor frame 51 and the lifting device 1 in the interval area. Workers can control all functions of the equipment from the lifting operating platform 3, including material feeding, stopping and starting; forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor chain drive motor; raising or lowering the operating platform 31; gripping by the platform robot 32; and obstacle removal, among other functions.
[0044] The specific lifting operation platform 3 includes an operation platform 31. Both sides of the operation platform 31 are equipped with robotic arms 32 for gripping materials. A display bracket 33 is installed on the top surface of the side plate of the operation platform 31, and a display 34 is installed on the display bracket 33.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, the robotic arm 32 includes a rotating platform 35, one end of which is mounted on an operating platform 31, and the other end of which is mounted on a cantilever base 36. A cantilever 37 is mounted on the cantilever base 36, and a pneumatic gripper 38 is mounted on the working end of the cantilever 37. The cantilever 37 is a multi-segment cantilever, and the number of cantilever segments is set according to requirements.
[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, the hopper 4 includes a hopper body 41, the bottom surface of which is an inclined surface. The bottom surface of the hopper body 41 is provided with an opening 42, which is located at the lowest point of the inclined bottom surface of the hopper body 41. The hopper body 41 is provided with a baffle assembly 43 for closing or opening the opening 42.
[0047] The baffle assembly 43 includes a baffle 44 and a cylinder 45. The two ends of the hopper body 41 are respectively equipped with cylinders 45, and the extended ends of the two cylinders 45 are respectively connected to the baffle 44.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the lifting device 1 is also equipped with bases 6 on both sides. The bases 6 can be fixed or sliding. The bottom of the base 6 is equipped with casters with brakes. When it needs to be moved, the brakes can be unlocked, the device can be pushed to the designated work position, and then locked. Alternatively, it can be equipped with a ladder system, allowing workers to operate the device from the operating platform.
[0049] Workflow:
[0050] Step 1: Manually pour the batch of materials into hopper 4 of the equipment;
[0051] Step 2: The inclined bottom plate of the hopper 4 causes the material to roll to the opening 42, and then the lower baffle assembly 43 is opened. The material falls onto the conveyor line 5 one after another. The conveyor line 5 arranges the material at intervals and conveys it forward until it moves to the point where it cooperates with the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 56. At this time, the length of the material on the conveyor line 5 is greater than the width of the conveyor line 5, so that the two ends of the material are suspended in the air.
[0052] Step 3: The lifting drive is started, which drives the conveyor chain 12 to rotate. The hook fixture 13 clamps the two ends of the material, lifts it and stores it in the lifting device 1. When the lifting device 1 is full, the entire conveyor line 5 moves to avoid the material on the conveyor chain 12.
[0053] Step 4: The worker uses the robotic arm 32 on the lifting platform 3 to select the required material, clamps the material, and adjusts it to the appropriate position for installation.
[0054] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
