[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a timber storage and handling assembly, including a body 1, a pusher block 2, a transmission device 3, a docking device 4, and a lifting platform 5. The transmission device 3 drives the pusher block 2 to push the timber.
[0030] The machine body 1 includes a support 11 and a housing 12. The support 11 is disposed on the bottom surface of the housing 12. A lifting platform 5 is provided on the support 11. The housing 12 is provided with the transmission device 3. The push block 2 is connected to the transmission device 3. The support 11 is provided with a docking device 4 for aligning the open-loop guide groove 6. The structure and shape of the open-loop guide groove 6 are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the open-loop guide groove 6 has a notch, and the shape of the docking device 4 can be perfectly movable at the notch of the open-loop guide groove 6. The docking device 4 is used to dock with the open-loop guide groove 6.
[0031] Furthermore, the transmission device 3 includes a chain 31 and a motor 32. The motor 32 includes a fixed end and a driving end. The fixed end of the motor 32 is connected to the outer wall of the housing 12. The driving end of the motor 32 passes through the outer wall of the housing 12 and is connected to a sprocket. The motor 32 is connected to the chain 31 through the sprocket. The push block 2 is connected to the chain 31.
[0032] Furthermore, the docking device 4 includes a lifting guide groove 41 and a first driving device 43. The first driving device 43 includes a driving end and a fixed end. The fixed end of the first driving device 43 is connected to the bracket 11, and the driving end of the first driving device 43 is connected to the lifting guide groove 41. The top and bottom surfaces of the housing 12 are provided with movable openings. The movable opening on the top surface of the housing 12 and the movable opening on the bottom surface of the housing 12 communicate to form a movable cavity. The lifting guide groove 41 is slidably disposed in the movable cavity of the housing 12.
[0033] Furthermore, the docking device 4 also includes a slide rail 42, which is mounted on the bracket 11, and the lifting guide groove 41 is connected to the slide rail 42 via a slider.
[0034] The shape of the lifting guide groove 41 needs to be able to simultaneously connect with the notch of the open-loop guide groove 6.
[0035] Furthermore, in optimizing the overall structural design of the lifting platform 5, this invention places particular emphasis on improving the stability of movement and the accuracy of positioning. Specifically, the lifting platform 5 not only includes the key component for carrying timber, namely the timber frame 51 in this invention, but also integrates the second drive device 52 for driving the timber frame 51 to perform vertical lifting and lowering movements. The fixed end of the second drive device 52 is securely mounted on the bracket 11 through a high-strength connector, ensuring the stability of the drive device during operation; the driving end of the second drive device 52 is directly connected to the timber frame 51, and through a precise transmission mechanism, the power is efficiently converted into the lifting and lowering movement of the timber frame 51. The timber frame 51 can slide smoothly in the movable cavity inside the housing 12. This design not only reduces movement resistance but also improves the safety and stability of the timber during handling.
[0036] Furthermore, the lifting platform 5 also includes a guide platform 53, which is connected to the bracket 11. The fixed end of the second driving device 52 is connected to the guide platform 53. A guide rod is slidably provided inside the guide platform 53, and the bottom surface of the wooden frame 51 is connected to the guide platform 53 through the guide rod.
[0037] Furthermore, to enhance the guidance and precision of the lifting movement of the timber frame 51, this invention adds a guide platform 53 to the lifting platform 5. The guide platform 53 is also firmly mounted on the bracket 11 and serves as the direct support platform for the second drive device 52. The guide platform 53 is seamlessly connected to the fixed end of the second drive device 52, further strengthening the overall structural stability. This invention includes guide rods that slide inside the guide platform 53. These guide rods are precision-machined, with smooth and wear-resistant surfaces, ensuring smooth operation over long-term use. The bottom surface of the timber frame 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rods, forming a complete guiding system. When the timber frame 51 is vertically lifted and lowered along the guide rods under the drive of the second drive device 52, the guide rods not only provide precise guidance but also effectively disperse the lateral forces generated during the movement of the timber frame 51 through their rigid structure, thereby significantly improving the anti-eccentric load capacity and movement stability of the entire lifting platform 5. This design not only ensures precise positioning of timber during handling, but also greatly extends the service life of the equipment and reduces maintenance costs.
[0038] Furthermore, one end of the open-loop guide groove 6 extends into the timber frame 51. The timber frame 51 includes multiple support rods, two support brackets, and a base plate. The bottom surface of the base plate is connected to the driving end of the second driving device 52 and the top of the guide rod of the guide platform 53. Multiple support rods are evenly connected to the side walls of the support brackets, and the tops of the support rods are connected to the support brackets. The two support brackets are placed opposite each other to support the timber. This arrangement ensures that the entire lifting platform 5 will not interfere with one end of the open-loop guide groove 6 during the lifting process.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that both the first driving device 43 and the second driving device 52 in this utility model use servo electric cylinders with high-precision positioning capabilities as actuators. Through an integrated linear motion module design, the servo electric cylinder efficiently converts the torque of the rotary motor into linear thrust, achieving not only millimeter-level or even micrometer-level motion control precision, but also perfectly meeting the dual requirements of high-speed reciprocating motion and fine-tuning positioning of the equipment due to its compact structure and rapid response. Simultaneously, the servo electric cylinder's built-in absolute encoder and closed-loop control system can provide real-time feedback of displacement data and automatically correct deviations, ensuring stability and reliability during long-term operation and providing crucial support for the precise coordination of the entire production process.
[0040] Working principle:
[0041] Timber handling: The motor 32 drives the chain 31 to move through the sprocket. The chain 31 drives the push block 2 to move. The push block 2 pushes the timber from the storage structure to the timber frame 51. At this time, the motor 32 is controlled to reverse and drive the push block 2 back to the initial position to avoid interference between the lifting trajectory of the push block 2 and the timber frame 51.
[0042] Timber placement: At this time, the timber is placed on the timber frame 51. The second driving device 52 drives the timber frame 51. The timber frame 51 moves up and down in the movable cavity of the housing 12 along the guide rod in the guide platform 53, and the height of the timber is adjusted as needed.
[0043] Timber and material bundling: The first driving device 43 drives the lifting guide 41, which moves up and down in the movable cavity of the housing 12 along the slide rail 42. The lifting guide 41 aligns with the notch of the open-loop guide 6 on the timber to achieve bundling.
