Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of metal transfer devices, and in particular to a metal turnover box. Background Technology
[0002] Metal turnover boxes are made of high-strength metal materials, such as high-quality carbon steel and stainless steel, and are processed using advanced welding technology and precision manufacturing processes. The metal turnover box has four side panels and four uprights around its circumference, with two opposing side panels rotating on the uprights. When transferring metal scraps, the scraps are first loaded into the turnover box through the opening at the top. Then, a forklift or crane is used to move the turnover box to the designated location. Finally, the internal materials can be removed by opening the side panels.
[0003] CN220501271U A metal turnover box includes a box body with a discharge port on one side, and a box cover hinged to the box body to cover the discharge port. A liquid-blocking block is provided on the box body near the discharge port to restrict the flow of cutting fluid from the discharge port. When this metal turnover box is used to hold iron filings generated during lathe machining, the cutting fluid adhering to the iron filings will fall under its own weight and accumulate at the bottom of the box body. The liquid-blocking block located on the box body near the discharge port can block the cutting fluid in the box body, making it difficult for the cutting fluid to flow out from the discharge port.
[0004] In the aforementioned technologies, when removing iron filings, the side plate needs to be rotated and the side opened. Some material will fall directly, while some material will remain at the bottom of the turnover box. At this point, a cleaning device is needed to push the remaining material off the bottom plate to clean the iron filings inside the turnover box more thoroughly. However, cleaning the iron filings inside the turnover box using the above method will slow down the cleaning efficiency and increase the workload for the workers. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a metal turnover box, which aims to solve the problem of slow iron filings cleaning speed in related technologies.
[0006] The metal turnover box provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A metal turnover box includes a frame, two first side plates and two second side plates rotatably connected to the frame, a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame, a first bottom plate fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft, and a second bottom plate fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft. When the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate are horizontally positioned, they block the lower opening of the frame. A fixing plate for fixing the positions of the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate is rotatably connected to the frame. A control component for driving the fixing plate to rotate is provided on the frame. The fixing plate simultaneously abuts against the lower surfaces of the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate.
[0008] Optionally, the control assembly includes a control shaft rotatably connected to the frame and a control handle fixed to the control shaft, the control shaft being fixed to a mounting plate.
[0009] Optionally, a torsion spring is sleeved on the control shaft for driving the fixing plate to abut against the first base plate and the second base plate. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the control shaft, and the other end is fixed to the frame.
[0010] Optionally, a support plate is fixedly installed on the first base plate, and a support groove is provided on the second base plate. When the support plate is in the support groove, the first base plate supports the second base plate.
[0011] Optionally, the first base plate is provided with a connecting assembly for connecting the second base plate and the first base plate. The connecting assembly includes a connecting rod slidably connected to the first base plate, a connecting groove formed on the second base plate, and a connecting spring fixed on the connecting rod. One end of the connecting spring is fixed to the first base plate, and the other end is fixed to the connecting rod. The connecting spring is used to pull the connecting rod away from the connecting groove. The first base plate is provided with a pushing assembly for pushing the connecting rod to move into the connecting groove.
[0012] Optionally, the pushing assembly includes a pushing rod slidably connected to a first rotating shaft and a pushing block fixed to the pushing rod. The pushing block is provided with a pushing inclined surface for abutting against the end face of the connecting rod. The pushing rod is slidably connected to the first rotating shaft along the length direction of the first rotating shaft.
[0013] Optionally, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the second side plate, and an arc-shaped limiting block is slidably connected in the arc-shaped groove, and the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped limiting block.

[0015] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The crane lifts the turnover box containing iron filings through the lifting lugs. Then, the workers drive the fixed plate to rotate through the control lever. The fixed plate and the first and second base plates no longer abut. Then, the first and second base plates rotate under the action of gravity, thereby opening the opening on the lower surface of the turnover box. Then, the iron filings inside fall off automatically under the action of gravity, thus making it easy to clean the iron filings inside. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The following combination Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0024] This application discloses a metal turnover box. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5 A metal turnover box includes a frame 1 set on the ground and two first side plates 2 and two second side plates 21 set on the frame 1. The frame 1 includes a mounting frame 11 and four columns 12 fixed on the mounting frame 11. The two first side plates 2 and the two second side plates 21 are rotatably connected to the columns 12, and the axis of rotation is above the columns 12. At this time, it is convenient for the first side plates 2 and the second side plates 21 to rotate away from the ground, and then the iron filings in the frame 1 can be taken out.
[0025] A first rotating shaft 22 and a second rotating shaft 23 are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 11. A first base plate 24 is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 22, and a second base plate 25 is fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft 23. When both the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25 are rotated to a horizontal position, they can seal the opening 13 of the mounting frame 11, allowing iron filings to be placed on them. Simultaneously, the two first side plates 2 and the two second side plates 21 allow the entire container to hold more iron filings. Furthermore, lifting rings for connecting to hooks are fixedly mounted on the two first side plates 2, allowing the entire container to be lifted by a crane. Simultaneously, when a forklift arm is positioned below the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25, the entire container can be lifted.
[0026] A control assembly 3 is provided on the second side plate 21. The control assembly 3 is provided with a fixing plate 4 for defining the position of the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25. The fixing plate 4 is used to abut against the lower surface of the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25. The control assembly 3 includes a control shaft 31 rotatably connected to the second side plate 21 and a control handle 32 fixed to the control shaft 31. The end of the control shaft 31 away from the handle is fixed to the fixing plate 4. By rotating the control handle 32, the control shaft 31 can be driven to rotate, and then the control shaft 31 drives the fixing plate 4 to rotate, thereby allowing the fixing plate 4 to detach from the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25. A torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the control shaft 31. One end of the torsion spring 33 is fixedly installed on the control shaft 31, and the other end is fixed to the second side plate 21. Under the action of the torsion spring 33, the fixing plate 4 is positioned below the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25, and is used to support the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25.
[0027] When the turnover box is transported to the designated location, the crane lifts the turnover box containing iron filings through the lifting lugs. Then, the staff drives the fixed plate 4 to rotate through the control lever. The fixed plate 4 and the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 no longer abut. Then, the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 rotate under the action of gravity, thereby opening the opening 13 on the lower surface of the turnover box. Then, the iron filings inside fall off automatically under the action of gravity, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the iron filings inside.
[0028] A support plate 41 is fixedly installed on the first base plate 24, and a support groove 42 is provided on the second base plate 25. When both the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25 are set horizontally, the opening 13 at the lower end of the turnover box is blocked, and the support plate 41 is located in the support groove 42.
[0029] An arc-shaped groove 43 is provided on the second side plate 21, and an arc-shaped limiting block 44 is slidably connected in the arc-shaped groove 43. The second rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped limiting block 44. When the forklift transfers the turnover box, when the turnover box rotates to the designated position, the two first side plates 2 are opened first. The first side plates 2 rotate along the upper end, and then the two first side plates 2 of the turnover box will open. Some iron filings will fall off automatically, and some iron filings will remain on the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25. At this time, by rotating the first rotating shaft 22, the first rotating shaft 22 drives the first bottom plate 24 to rotate. The support plate 41 on the first bottom plate 24 will push the second bottom plate 25 to rotate. Then the second bottom plate 25 drives the arc-shaped limiting plate to rotate. During the rotation, the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 will rotate at an angle. Then the iron filings on the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 will automatically detach under the action of the inclined plane, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the cleaning of iron filings in the turnover box.
[0030] A connecting component 5 is provided on the first base plate 24. The connecting component 5 is used to improve the connection strength between the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25. The connecting component 5 includes a connecting rod 51 slidably connected to the first base plate 24, a connecting groove 52 opened on the second base plate 25, and a connecting spring 53 fixed to the connecting rod 51. One end of the connecting spring 53 is fixed to the connecting rod 51, and the other end is fixed to the first base plate 24. The connecting spring 53 is used to pull the connecting rod 51 to move away from the connecting groove 52. At the same time, a pushing component 6 is provided on the first rotating shaft 22. The pushing component 6 is used to push the connecting rod 51 into the connecting groove 52 and to keep the connecting spring 53 in a stretched state.
[0031] The pushing assembly 6 includes a pushing rod 61 passing through the first rotating shaft 22, a pushing block 62 fixed on the pushing rod 61, and a pushing inclined surface 63 formed on the pushing block 62. The pushing inclined surface 63 is used to abut against the connecting rod 51. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the pushing rod 61 is set to hexagonal, and the pushing rod 61 is slidably connected to the first rotating shaft 22. Both ends of the pushing rod 61 extend out of the end face of the first rotating shaft 22. A knob is fixedly installed at both ends of the pushing rod 61. By rotating the knob, the pushing rod 61 can be driven to rotate. During the rotation of the pushing rod 61, the first base plate 24 will be driven to rotate. Then, since the pushing rod 61 can slide on the first rotating shaft 22, the pushing block 62 can be driven to move simultaneously during the sliding process. During the movement, the pushing inclined surface 63 in contact with the connecting rod 51 gradually increases, the connecting spring 53 is stretched, and then the pushing rod 61 will push the connecting rod 51 into the connecting groove 52, thereby improving the connection strength between the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25.
[0032] When the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25 rotate simultaneously, the push rod 61 moves in the opposite direction, so that the push inclined surface 63 on the push block 62 and the connecting rod 51 no longer abut. At this time, under the action of the connecting spring 53, the connecting rod 51 disengages from the connecting groove 52, which facilitates the rotation of the first base plate 24 and the second base plate 25. At this time, the bottom opening 13 of the turnover box is opened, thereby facilitating the unloading of materials.
[0033] The implementation principle of a metal turnover box in this application embodiment is as follows: When the turnover box is moved to a designated position, a crane lifts the turnover box to a certain height, and at the same time, the pushing block 62 and the connecting block are no longer in contact. The connecting spring 53 pulls the connecting rod 51 to disengage from the connecting groove 52. Then, the control knob drives the control rod to rotate, and the control rod drives the fixing plate 4 to rotate. During the rotation of the fixing plate 4, the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 are separated. Then, under the action of the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25, the plate automatically rotates downward. At this time, the opening 13 at the bottom of the turnover box is opened, and the iron filings inside the turnover box fall off automatically under the action of gravity, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically cleaning the iron filings inside the turnover box.
[0034] When the turnover box is not lifted by a crane, the first side plate 2 is opened, and the opening 13 on the side of the turnover box is opened. After opening, some iron filings will fall off. At the same time, the push rod 61 is moved, and the push rod 61 drives the push block 62 to move. The push block 62 pushes the connecting rod 51 into the connecting groove 52. At this time, the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 are connected by the connecting rod 51. Then, the push rod 61 is rotated, and the push rod 61 drives the first rotating shaft 22 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 22 drives the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 to rotate at the same time. At the same time, the arc-shaped limiting block 44 slides in the limiting groove. Then, the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 rotate to an inclined state, so that the iron filings on the first bottom plate 24 and the second bottom plate 25 can be removed under the action of gravity.
[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
