[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The container weld grinding machine according to this utility model is mainly used for grinding the welds 100 on the bottom plate of the container. In this embodiment, the welding 100 formed by grinding the T-shaped floor 102 of the refrigerated container is taken as an example to describe the container weld grinding machine according to this utility model. The bottom frame of the refrigerated container includes a middle floor 103 and a T-shaped floor 102, along the width direction of the container (i.e., Figure 1In the second horizontal direction (D2), the T-shaped floor 102 is located on both sides of the intermediate floor 103 and connected to the container side panel 101. Therefore, the weld 100 of the T-shaped floor 102 is located at the corner between the container side panel 101 and the T-shaped floor 102, and the weld 100 is often located between the T-shaped beams of the T-shaped floor 102, which makes the location of the weld 100 relatively narrow, difficult to position and grind, and also difficult to perform manual grinding operations.
[0047] Therefore, this utility model provides a weld grinding machine for containers, which can grind the welds 100 of refrigerated containers.
[0048] Figures 1 to 3 The present invention illustrates a weld grinding machine for a container, which includes a frame 110, a traveling vehicle 120, a grinding mechanism 130, a vertical drive mechanism 140, and a horizontal drive mechanism 150.
[0049] The traveling carriage 120 is connected to the frame 110 and is used to drive the frame 110 to move along a first horizontal direction D1. The grinding mechanism 130 is disposed on at least one side of the frame 110 along a second horizontal direction D2 perpendicular to the first horizontal direction D1. The grinding mechanism 130 includes a rotary drive member 131 and a grinding wheel 132. The rotary drive member 131 is connected to the grinding wheel 132 and drives the grinding wheel 132 to rotate about a rotation axis parallel to the second horizontal direction D2.
[0050] A vertical drive mechanism 140 is disposed on the frame 110 and connected to the grinding mechanism 130, for driving the grinding mechanism 130 to move in the vertical direction D3. A horizontal drive mechanism 150 is disposed on the frame 110 and connected to the vertical drive mechanism 140, for driving the grinding mechanism 130 and the vertical drive mechanism 140 to move in the second horizontal direction D2.
[0051] According to the container weld grinding machine of this utility model, the horizontal drive mechanism 150 drives the grinding mechanism 130 and the vertical drive mechanism 140 to the top of the weld 100. Then, the vertical drive mechanism 140 drives the grinding mechanism 130 to the grinding position, so that the grinding wheel 132 is located at the position of the weld 100. Then, the rotary drive component 131 is started to grind the weld 100. As the traveling vehicle 120 moves, the frame 110 drives the grinding mechanism 130 to move, thereby continuously grinding the weld 100. Compared with the manual grinding method, it does not require frequent manual operation, has low labor intensity, and high safety.
[0052] Reference Figure 1The weld bead grinding machine also includes a side support 160, which is connected to the output part of the horizontal drive mechanism 150, and the vertical drive mechanism 140 is disposed on the side support 160. Thus, the horizontal drive mechanism 150 can drive the vertical drive mechanism 140 through the side support 160, so that the grinding mechanism 130 moves above the weld bead 100.
[0053] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The weld bead grinding machine also includes two side supports 160, two vertical drive mechanisms 140, and two grinding mechanisms 130. The two side supports 160 are arranged on both sides of the frame 110 along the second horizontal direction D2. The two vertical drive mechanisms 140 are respectively mounted on the two side supports 160, and the two grinding mechanisms 130 are connected to the two vertical drive mechanisms 140 in a one-to-one correspondence. Through the above arrangement, the weld bead grinding machine can simultaneously grind the weld bead 100 on both sides of the refrigerated container, thereby improving the grinding efficiency of the weld bead grinding machine.
[0054] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The weld bead grinding machine also includes a guide roller 170, which is rotatably connected to the side support 160 about a rotation axis parallel to the vertical direction D3. The guide roller 170 protrudes from the grinding mechanism 130 along the second horizontal direction D2. When the horizontal drive mechanism 150 drives the side support 160 to move toward the container side panel 101, the guide roller 170 abuts against the container side panel 101 to reduce collision wear between the side support 160 and the container side panel 101. In addition, when the traveling trolley 120 drives the frame 110 to move, the guide roller 170 abuts against the container side panel 101 and rolls, so that the weld bead grinding machine is limited on both sides along the second horizontal direction D2, thereby keeping the grinding mechanism 130 stable during movement and ensuring the grinding accuracy of the weld bead 100.
[0055] Optionally, for welds 100 at different positions along the second horizontal direction D2, the guide roller 170 and the side bracket 160 can be adjusted in installation position by fasteners. As the horizontal drive mechanism 150 is driven, when the guide roller 170 abuts against the side panel of the container, the grinding mechanism 130 is precisely positioned above the weld 100 to be ground.
[0056] Specifically regarding the horizontal drive mechanism 150, refer to... Figure 2The horizontal drive mechanism 150 includes a connecting frame 151, a track 152, and a first cylinder 153. The connecting frame 151 is fixed to the frame body 110. The track 152 is disposed on the connecting frame 151 and extends along the second horizontal direction D2, and the track 152 is connected to the side support 160. The first cylinder 153 is disposed on the connecting frame 151, and the output shaft of the first cylinder 153 is connected to the side support 160 along the second horizontal direction D2. Therefore, when the first cylinder 153 is activated, the first cylinder 153 drives the side support 160 to move along the second horizontal direction D2, thereby realizing the drive of the grinding mechanism 130 along the second horizontal direction D2. Furthermore, the horizontal drive mechanism 150 includes two first cylinders 153, which drive in opposite directions and are respectively connected to two side supports 160. Thus, the horizontal drive mechanism 150 can synchronously drive the two side supports 160 to move, allowing the two grinding mechanisms 130 to move to the top of the weld 100 of the T-shaped floor 102 on both sides of the refrigerated container.
[0057] Specifically, this applies to the vertical drive mechanism 140 and the grinding mechanism 130. (See reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vertical drive mechanism 140 is constructed as a second cylinder 141, which is mounted on the side bracket 160. The output shaft of the second cylinder 141 is connected to the rotary drive component 131 along the vertical direction D3. Therefore, activating the second cylinder 141 drives the rotary drive component 131 to move along the vertical direction D3, thus adjusting the height of the grinding wheel 132 along the vertical direction D3. For details, refer to... Figure 2 The side bracket 160 is Z-shaped, and the first end of the side bracket 160 (i.e. the lower end of the side bracket 160) is fitted to the track 152, while the second end of the side bracket 160 (i.e. the higher end of the side bracket 160) is fixed to the second cylinder 141, thereby providing vertical space for the second cylinder 141 to drive the grinding mechanism 130, which is conducive to adjusting the height of the grinding mechanism 130.
[0058] Optionally, the rotary drive component 131 can be a motor, preferably a servo motor. When the rotary drive component 131 is started, it can drive the grinding wheel 132 to rotate, thereby grinding the weld bead 100.
[0059] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the grinding wheel 132 is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction D2. In other words, the thickness direction of the grinding wheel 132 is parallel to the second horizontal direction D2, which makes the grinding wheel 132 have a smaller size along the second horizontal direction D2, so that the grinding wheel 132 can enter the T-shaped beams of the T-shaped floor 102 to grind the weld bead 100.
[0060] Specifically, regarding frame 110 and traveling vehicle 120, refer to... Figure 1 The weld bead grinding machine includes two frames 110, which extend along a first horizontal direction D1. The two frames 110 are spaced apart along a second horizontal direction D2, and both frames 110 are connected to a connecting frame 151. This stable structure makes the weld bead grinding machine more stable in the second horizontal direction D2 and less prone to tipping over. Furthermore, combined with… Figure 2 As shown, the traveling vehicle 120 includes a connecting beam 121 and two drive wheels 122. The connecting beam 121 extends along a second horizontal direction D2, and both frames 110 are connected to the connecting beam 121. Both drive wheels 122 are connected to the connecting beam 121, and the two drive wheels 122 and the two frames 110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence along the second horizontal direction D2. This arrangement allows the drive wheels 122 to effectively bear the load on the frames 110.
[0061] When the drive wheel 122 is started, the drive wheel 122 rotates, which can drive the frame 110 and the grinding mechanism 130 on the frame 110 to move along the first horizontal direction D1, thereby performing continuous grinding operation on the weld 100.
[0062] Optionally, the container weld grinding machine according to this utility model may further include a control device, which includes a pneumatic control box 180. The pneumatic control box 180 may be mounted on the connecting frame 151. The pneumatic control box 180 is electrically connected to the first cylinder 153 and the second cylinder 141, thereby driving and controlling the first cylinder 153 and the second cylinder 141. Further, the pneumatic control box 180 may also be electrically connected to the rotary drive component 131 and the drive wheel 122, thereby driving and controlling the rotary drive component 131 and the drive wheel 122.
[0063] When the weld bead grinder performs grinding operations on the refrigerated container, the traveling vehicle 120 drives the frame 110, causing the weld bead grinder to move onto the refrigerated container. Then, the pneumatic control box 180 controls the first cylinder 153 to start, causing the grinding wheel 132 to move along the second horizontal direction D2 to above the weld bead 100. Then, the pneumatic control box 180 controls the second cylinder 141 to start, causing the grinding wheel 132 to move along the vertical direction D3 until the grinding wheel 132 contacts the weld bead 100. At this point, the pneumatic control box 180 controls the rotary drive component 131 to start, thereby grinding the weld bead 100. The pneumatic control box 180 also controls the drive wheel 122 to start, causing the grinding wheel 132 to move along the first horizontal direction D1 with the frame 110, thereby performing continuous grinding operations on the weld bead 100.
[0064] With the above setup, no polishing operation is required, reducing labor intensity and increasing safety.
[0065] This utility model also provides a container production line, including a container weld grinding machine according to the above-described method. The container production line according to this utility model eliminates the need for frequent manual grinding operations, reducing labor intensity and increasing safety.
