Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cement loading equipment, specifically a cement bulk loading machine. Background Technology

[0002] A bulk cement loader is a specialized piece of equipment for handling bulk cement. It connects a cement silo with a bulk cement transport vehicle and uses a series of interlocking control devices to achieve automated or semi-automated delivery of bulk cement. Depending on the unloading method, it can be divided into bottom-loading loader and side-loading loader.

[0003] Existing bulk cement loading machines, such as the bulk cement loading machine in application number CN201310396973.7, include a reducer, coupling, limit wheel, motor, pulley, frame, rope pressing device, wire rope, roller, discharge port, dust collection port, telescopic hose, and discharge hopper. The reducer is connected to the motor via a coupling, and the telescopic hose is lifted by the wire rope and a winch mechanism driven by the reducer. In existing bulk cement loading machines, the alignment of the telescopic hose with the filling port usually requires manual operation. The specific process is as follows: after the bulk truck is parked, the operator needs to climb onto the roof of the truck and manually adjust the position of the telescopic filling hose to align with the filling port. The filling valve is opened and closed by observing the display screen. This manual operation method has the following significant drawbacks: 1. Poor operational safety: Workers need to frequently work at heights, which poses a risk of falling, especially in bad weather or when the surface of the filling vehicle is slippery. 2. Low work efficiency: Each filling requires manual intervention, including the alignment of the telescopic tube and valve control, resulting in a long filling cycle and making continuous automated operation impossible. 3. Environmental pollution risk: During manual operation, the sealing between the telescopic tube and the filling port depends on the driver's experience. If the alignment is inaccurate or the seal is not tight, it can easily lead to cement dust leakage, which can harm the health of workers and pollute the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cement bulk loading machine that can automatically align the telescopic hose with the filling port of the tank truck.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A cement bulk loading machine includes a frame and a discharge device detachably connected to the frame; an X-axis moving cone bucket assembly slidably connected to the frame and capable of sliding along the X-axis of the frame, with the inlet of the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly located below the discharge valve of the discharge device; an X-axis moving drive mechanism mounted on the frame and drivenly connected to the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly; a Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly slidably connected to the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly and capable of sliding along the Y-axis of the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly, with the inlet of the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly located below the first discharge port of the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly; a Y-axis moving drive mechanism mounted on the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly and drivenly connected to the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly; a telescopic hose connected to the bottom of the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly, with the inlet of the telescopic hose facing the second discharge port of the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly; and a hose control mechanism mounted on the Y-axis moving drive mechanism and connected to the telescopic hose for driving the telescopic hose to extend or retract.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the outstanding features of this utility model, which adopts the above technical solution, are:

[0008] This cement bulk loading machine eliminates the need for manual climbing of the tanker truck to adjust the position of the telescopic hose. By moving the cone bucket assembly along the X and Y axes, the filling port and the end of the telescopic hose can be automatically aligned. This solves the problem of traditional telescopic hoses only being able to move along a single axis (vertical), requiring manual adjustment when the tanker truck is parked with a large deviation. It can move along the X, Y, and Z axes, ensuring that the telescopic hose is always vertically aligned with the tanker truck's filling port, avoiding problems such as dust leakage caused by oblique insertion or incomplete insertion.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a further technical solution of this utility model is:

[0010] Preferably, the frame includes a base frame, with side support seats on both the left and right sides of the base frame. A first traveling beam is arranged between the two support seats along the X-axis. A cover plate is also provided at the bottom of the two support seats. A feed hole is provided on the cover plate. The discharge valve port of the unloading device is connected to the cover plate and is positioned directly opposite the feed hole. The side support seats and the cover plate adopt a bolt quick-release structure, which facilitates subsequent disassembly, maintenance, and replacement of parts.

[0011] Preferably, the unloading device includes an unloading hopper, with a discharge valve port connected to the lower end of the unloading hopper; an arc-shaped valve plate is rotatably connected in the unloading hopper, and a valve plate drive mechanism is provided on the outside of the unloading hopper.

A first cone bucket support plate is connected to the bottom of the first support base, and a first discharge port is disposed on the first cone bucket support plate. The discharge port of the first guiding cone bucket is connected to the first cone bucket support plate and faces directly opposite to it.

A second wheel assembly is also provided on the second support base, and the second wheel assembly is slidably connected to the second traveling beam. A second guide cone bucket is also connected to the second support base. A second cone bucket support plate is connected to the bottom of the second support base. A second discharge port is provided on the second cone bucket support plate, and the discharge port of the second guide cone bucket is connected to the second cone bucket support plate and is directly opposite the second discharge port.

[0013] Preferably, the X-axis moving drive mechanism includes a first drive motor mounted on the cover plate, a first drive gear mounted on the output shaft of the first drive motor, a first rack plate mounted on the side of the first support base, and the first drive gear meshing with the first rack plate; the Y-axis moving drive mechanism includes a second drive motor mounted on the first cone bucket support base, a second drive gear connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor, a second rack plate mounted on the side of the second support base, and the second drive gear meshing with the second rack plate.

[0014] Preferably, the telescopic hose includes a telescopic outer ring and a telescopic inner ring. The telescopic inner ring is composed of several unit cones inserted vertically. The telescopic outer ring is provided with several layers of support rings at intervals. Each unit cone is connected to the corresponding support ring through a support rib. A discharge pipe is connected to the second discharge port of the Y-axis moving cone assembly. The lower end of the discharge pipe is inserted into the uppermost unit cone. The support rings provide radial rigidity to the telescopic outer ring without affecting its telescopic structure, thereby improving the telescopic hose's resistance to wind swaying. The discharge pipe and the unit cones adopt a cone-face self-centering structure to avoid material accumulation and jamming, and to prevent material leakage.

[0015] Preferably, the hose control mechanism includes a winch mounted on the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly; it also includes a number of lifting rings spaced circumferentially on the outside of the retractable outer ring, and a number of winding reels spaced at intervals corresponding to the number of lifting rings on the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly, with the output shaft of the winch passing through the winding reels; a number of guide wheels are provided on the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly corresponding to the lifting rings, and the wire rope in the winding reel passes around the guide wheels and connects to the corresponding lifting ring.

[0033] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 The telescopic hose 7 includes a telescopic outer ring 701 and a telescopic inner ring. The telescopic inner ring is composed of several vertically inserted unit cones 702. The telescopic outer ring 701 is provided with several layers of support rings 704 at intervals. Each unit cone 702 is connected to the corresponding support ring 704 through a support rib 705. A discharge pipe 19 is connected to the second discharge port of the Y-axis moving cone assembly 6. The lower end of the discharge pipe 19 is inserted into the uppermost unit cone 702. The telescopic outer ring 701 can be made of fabric (such as wear-resistant industrial canvas or polyester coated fabric) or corrugated pipe.

[0034] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the hose control mechanism 8 includes a winch 801, which is mounted on the Y-axis moving cone assembly 6; it also includes a plurality of lifting rings 805 spaced circumferentially on the outside of the retractable outer ring 701; a plurality of winding reels 802 are spaced at intervals corresponding to the number of lifting rings 805 on the Y-axis moving cone assembly 6; the output shaft of the winch 801 passes through the winding reels 802; a plurality of guide wheels 803 are provided on the Y-axis moving cone assembly 6 corresponding to the lifting rings 805; the wire rope 804 in the winding reel 802 passes around the guide wheels 803 and connects to the corresponding lifting ring 805. In this embodiment, three lifting rings 805 are spaced circumferentially on the outside of the retractable outer ring 701.

[0035] like Figure 6 The lower end of the retractable outer ring 701 is detachably connected to an outer cone 22, and the lower end of the lowest unit cone 702 is connected to a discharge cone 703. The lower end of the discharge cone 703 is detachably connected to a material dispersing cone 24. Specifically, a connecting ring is provided along the lower edge of the retractable outer ring 701, and a clamp 23 is provided along the upper edge of the outer cone 22. The outer cone 22 is connected to the connecting ring via the clamp 23, facilitating the removal of the outer cone 22 and adjustment of the height of the material dispersing cone 24. A first connecting plate 25 is provided on the discharge cone 703, and a second connecting plate 26 is provided on the material dispersing cone 24. The first connecting plate 25 has several first adjustment holes, and the second connecting plate 26 has several second adjustment holes. The height of the material dispersing cone 24 is adjusted by connecting bolts and nuts to select appropriate positions for the first and second adjustment holes. By adjusting the Z-axis position of the material dispersing cone 24, the gap between the outer cone 22 and the material dispersing cone 24 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the discharge flow rate.

[0036] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 The second cone support plate 603 of the Y-axis moving cone assembly 6 is also equipped with an exhaust pipe 20. The lower end of the exhaust pipe 20 extends into the discharge cone 703 and exits through the material dispersing cone 24; this prevents excessive back pressure inside the can during filling and avoids material spraying. In this embodiment, the second cone support plate 603 is also equipped with a dust discharge pipe 21, which is connected to the dust removal pipe and connects to the gap between the retractable outer ring 701 and the retractable inner ring.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 A first sensor 10 is installed on the Y-axis movement drive mechanism to detect whether the telescopic hose 7 has retracted into place, and a second sensor 11 is installed on the telescopic hose 7 to detect whether the telescopic hose 7 has descended into place. The first sensor 10 and the second sensor 11 are connected to the main controller. The first sensor 10 and the second sensor 11 can be equivalent sensors such as a SICK-WL12-3P2431 proximity switch or an Omron E3Z-D61 photoelectric switch.

[0038] When using this cement bulk loading machine, first park the tanker truck in position, within the allowable parking deviation range (the movement range of the X-axis moving cone assembly 5 and the Y-axis moving cone assembly 6). Then, the main controller controls the camera 9 to start, scanning the tanker truck's filling port. The camera 9 (Basler industrial CCD) captures an image of the filling port. The X / Y / Z coordinates of the filling port are calculated using existing image processing algorithms (such as OpenCV edge detection). The current position of the telescopic hose 7 is compared with the target position to determine the positional deviation. The main controller then controls the first drive motor 12 to rotate the first gear. The wheel drives the first rack plate 14 to make the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly 5 slide along the first traveling beam 103 until it is aligned with the X coordinate of the tank truck filling port; the second drive motor 16 drives the second gear to rotate, the second gear drives the second rack plate 18 to make the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly 6 slide along the second traveling beam 504 until it is aligned with the Y coordinate of the filling port; the main controller sends a command, the winch 801 rotates, drives the winding reel 802 to rotate, releases the wire rope 804, and the telescopic hose 7 gradually descends; the second sensor 11 detects that when the lower end of the hose is 100mm away from the filling port, the descent stops and filling is prepared. The main controller can open the arc-shaped valve plate 202 by controlling the valve plate drive mechanism 203 of the unloading device 2, and the cement flows into the tank truck through the unloading hopper 201, the discharge valve port 3, the discharge flange 4, the first guide cone bucket 502, the second guide cone bucket 602, the discharge pipe 19, the telescopic hose 7, and the bulk cone 24; the exhaust pipe 20 works synchronously to balance the air pressure in the tank and prevent material spraying. After filling is completed, the main controller controls the valve plate drive mechanism 203 to close the arc valve plate 202, starts the winch 801, and the wire rope 804 pulls the telescopic hose 7 to retract until the first sensor 10 is triggered (fully retracted). The X-axis movement drive mechanism and the Y-axis movement drive mechanism drive the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly 5 and the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly 6 back to the standby position (original pre-initial position) to wait for the next tanker truck.

[0039] Compared with existing technologies, this bulk filling machine can achieve fully automatic and precise positioning. Through the X / Y axis dual drive mechanism and vision recognition system (industrial camera plus main controller), it can automatically align the telescopic hose 7 with the tank truck filling port, completely avoiding manual climbing and adjustment. It can also achieve three-axis flexible filling: the X-axis moving cone bucket assembly 5 and the Y-axis moving cone bucket assembly 6, together with the telescopic hose 7, can adapt to the tank truck parking deviation (±500mm).

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes made based on the content of the present utility model specification and its drawings are included within the scope of the present utility model.
