[0027] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent feeding, storage, discharging, and pushing device, which is used in conjunction with a barrel 10 containing materials. The device includes a control cabinet, a frame 20, a lifting trolley 30, a first drive assembly, and a second drive assembly.
[0028] A longitudinally penetrating lifting channel 21 is formed in the middle of the frame 20, and multiple storage stations 22 are formed on both sides of the lifting channel 21, with the storage stations 22 connected to the lifting channel 21. A support plate 23 is provided at the bottom of each storage station 22, and the support plate 23 is fixedly connected to the frame 20. Preferably, each storage station 22 has two support plates 23 at its bottom, located on both sides of the storage station 22, thus providing better support for the bottom sides of the bucket body 10.
[0029] The lifting trolley 30 is disposed within the lifting channel 21. The lifting trolley 30 includes a trolley body 31 and a movable plate 32. A guide groove extending in the left-right direction is formed on the trolley body 31. The movable plate 32 is disposed laterally on the top of the trolley body 31 and slides in contact with the inner wall of the guide groove. The width of the movable plate 32 is smaller than the diameter of the barrel 10.
[0030] The first drive assembly is used to drive the vehicle body 31 to move up and down;
[0031] The second drive component is used to control the left and right movement of the movable plate 32.
[0032] The specific loading process of this device is as follows: First, the worker manually or via a transport trolley places the barrel 10 onto the movable plate 32. Then, the first drive assembly controls the trolley 31 to move upwards. When the trolley 31 moves to the corresponding barrel storage station 22, the first drive assembly stops working, and at this time, the movable plate 32 is located diagonally above the corresponding support plate 23. Next, the second drive assembly controls the movable plate 32 to move left and right until the barrel 10 moves directly above the corresponding support plate 23. Then, the first drive assembly controls the trolley 31 to move downwards until the bottom of the barrel 10 contacts the support plate 23, thus placing the barrel 10 into the corresponding barrel storage station 22. Finally, the second drive assembly controls the movable plate 32 to reset, and the first drive assembly controls the trolley 31 to reset.
[0033] The material handling process of this device is the reverse of the material feeding process, and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] In this device, the first drive assembly controls the vertical movement of the vehicle body 31, and the second drive assembly controls the horizontal movement of the movable plate 32. The barrel 10 contains butter blocks. The first and second drive assemblies work together to place the barrel 10 into the corresponding storage station 22 and to remove the barrel 10 from the storage station 22. Therefore, this device can automatically feed and remove butter blocks.
[0035] In one embodiment, the system further includes a bucket-tipping mechanism 40, which comprises a rotating shaft 41, a drive motor 42, a limiting hole 43, and a base plate 44. The rotating shaft 41 is arranged laterally and both ends are rotatably connected to the frame 20. The drive motor 42 is fixedly mounted on the frame 20 and electrically connected to the control cabinet, and is used to control the rotation of the rotating shaft 41. The limiting hole 43 is located on one side of the rotating shaft 41 and close to the lifting channel 21, and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 41. The base plate 44 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the limiting hole 43. Preferably, a base plate 44 is fixedly mounted on each of the two sides of the bottom of the limiting hole 43, which provides better support for the bottom sides of the bucket body 10.
[0036] With the cooperation of the first and second drive components, the barrel 10 can be placed on the base plate 44. At this time, the control cabinet controls the drive motor 42 to start, and the drive motor 42 drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate. The limit hole 43 will drive the barrel 10 to rotate synchronously, so that the butter blocks inside the barrel 10 will be poured out and flow into the hot pot, completing the pouring operation. Workers no longer need to manually pour the butter blocks into the hot pot, further reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0037] It is worth noting that because the limiting hole 43 limits the barrel 10, the barrel 10 will not fall into the hot pot during the pouring process.
[0038] In one embodiment, the bucket-pouring mechanism 40 further includes a limiting ring 45, which is fixedly installed on the limiting hole 43 and adapted to the bucket body 10. The limiting ring 45 can restrict the movement of the bucket body 10 in the lateral direction, thereby making the bucket body 10 more stable within the limiting hole 43.
[0039] In one embodiment, a weighing mechanism 50 is further included, which is disposed directly below the limiting hole 43. The weighing mechanism 50 includes a cylinder 51 and a weighing sensor 52. The cylinder 51 is arranged longitudinally and electrically connected to the control cabinet. The cylinder body of the cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 20, and a lifting plate 53 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder 51. The weighing sensor 52 is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting plate 53 and electrically connected to the control cabinet.
[0040] Once the barrel 10 is placed on the base plate 44, the control cabinet can control the cylinder 51 to start. The piston rod of the cylinder 51 extends, and the lifting plate 53 moves upward until the lifting plate 53 lifts the barrel 10. At this time, the weighing sensor 52 contacts the barrel 10 and can measure the weight of the barrel 10 and the butter block, so that the workers can accurately grasp the remaining amount of butter block in the barrel 10.
[0041] In one embodiment, the first drive assembly includes a first motor, a first sprocket, a second sprocket, and a drive chain. The first motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 20 and electrically connected to the control cabinet. The first sprocket is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor. The second sprocket is disposed at the bottom of the frame 20 and rotatably connected to the frame 20, and is located directly below the first sprocket. The two ends of the drive chain are respectively sleeved on the first sprocket and the second sprocket, and the drive chain is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 31.
[0042] When the first drive assembly is started, the control cabinet controls the first motor to start, which in turn drives the first sprocket to rotate. Under the action of the transmission chain and the second sprocket, the vehicle body 31 moves up and down. This first drive assembly has a simple structure and is convenient to produce and manufacture.
[0043] In one embodiment, the second drive assembly includes a rack, a second motor, and a gear. The rack is fixedly mounted on the movable plate 32. The second motor is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body 31 and electrically connected to the control cabinet. The gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second motor and meshes with the rack.
[0044] When the second drive assembly is started, the control cabinet controls the second motor to start, which in turn drives the gear to rotate. Under the action of the rack, the movable plate 32 moves left and right. This second drive assembly has a simple structure and is convenient to produce and manufacture.
[0045] In one embodiment, a pushing mechanism 60 is further included, which is disposed below and to the outside of the tilting mechanism 40. The pushing mechanism 60 includes a push plate 61 and an electric push rod 62. The push plate 61 is disposed on the outside of the frame 20. The electric push rod 62 is arranged laterally and is electrically connected to the control cabinet. The housing of the electric push rod 62 is fixedly connected to the frame 20, and the push rod of the electric push rod 62 is fixedly connected to the push plate 61.
[0046] After the bucket pouring mechanism 40 pours the material in the bucket 10 into the hot pot, the control cabinet can control the electric push rod 62 to start. The push rod of the electric push rod 62 pushes the push plate 61 forward, thereby pushing the accumulated material into the next process container or carrier, reducing material residue.
[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model.
[0048] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
