Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of finished container transfer technology for filling cabinets, and in particular to a container carrying cart for filling cabinets. Background Technology
[0002] On the filling production line, after a 200-liter finished product drum completes the filling and capping process in the filling cabinet, it needs to be removed from the filling cabinet and transferred to a pallet for subsequent transport to the warehouse. Due to the large size and heavy weight of this type of finished product drum, manual transfer is insufficient; handling equipment is required. The existing transfer process is as follows: First, the roller trolley is adjusted to be parallel to the filling cabinet. The finished product drum is then manually pulled out of the filling cabinet and positioned on the roller trolley. A chain is then used to secure the drum. The roller trolley carrying the finished product drum is then moved to a temporary storage area. Next, a drum-holding trolley is moved to the side of the roller trolley, and the finished product drum is lifted off the roller trolley using a drum-holding mechanism. It is then transferred to a designated pallet and placed on the pallet. Finally, the pallet containing the finished product drum is transported to the warehouse by a transfer device.
[0003] However, in actual operation, this method of switching between two handling tools, roller cart and bucket cart, not only requires operators to frequently perform positioning calibration and loading and unloading operations when docking tools, resulting in cumbersome procedures and inconvenience, but also makes it easy for the center of gravity of the finished bucket to shift during the two transfers due to human operation errors or gaps in tool coordination, thus causing the risk of tipping over. At the same time, multiple transfers and tool switching also significantly reduce the overall transfer efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions in specific embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] The implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0028] This utility model embodiment provides a container carrying cart for filling cabinets, combined with... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the bucket-carrying cart includes a frame 1, a bucket-carrying device 2, and a transfer device 3. The frame 1 has a frame structure, with at least one horizontally arranged fixing frame 103 inside for supporting functional components to be installed laterally. The bucket-carrying device 2 is mounted on the fixing frame 103 and includes a retainer 201, a first drive mechanism 202, and a bucket clamp 203. The retainer 201 is located on the side of the frame 1 facing the bucket, and its inner wall contour is adapted to fit the outer peripheral curved surface of the 200-liter finished bucket to form a stable bucket-supporting structure. The first drive mechanism 202 is preferably a linear drive component such as an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder, and its output end is fixedly connected to the bucket clamp 203, which can drive the bucket clamp 203 to move vertically. The bucket clamp 203 includes two symmetrically arranged clamping arm structures, and the inner side of the clamping arm is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad. The opening and closing action of the clamping arm realizes the clamping and fixing of the upper edge of the bucket. The transfer device 3 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the frame 1, specifically including a horizontal bearing surface and a second drive mechanism 104 that drives it to slide back and forth. When the finished drum is removed from the filling cabinet and placed on the bearing surface of the transfer device 3, the drum clamp 203 descends and clamps the drum under the action of the first drive mechanism 202, and then lifts upward to detach the drum from the bearing plate. At this time, the second drive mechanism 104 drives the bearing plate to slide backward, freeing up the vertical operating space under the drum so that the drum can be accurately placed on the target pallet or transport equipment.
[0029] Specifically, the frame 1 includes two symmetrically arranged support frames 101 and a connecting frame 102 connected to the top of the two support frames 101. The support frames 101 are rectangular frame structures, welded from square tubes or I-beams. A first fixed frame and a second fixed frame are arranged horizontally between the two support frames 101. Both the first and second fixed frames are horizontally arranged plate structures, and their ends are fixedly connected to the support frames 101 on the left and right sides respectively by bolts. The specific height position can be adjusted according to actual needs. The fixed end of the first drive mechanism 202 is installed on the upper surface of the first fixed frame, and its output end moves upward through the second fixed frame and is fixedly connected to the bucket clamp 203, so that the bucket clamp 203 is located above the second fixed frame. The retainer 201 is set on the side of the first fixed frame where the bucket is to be placed, and is welded and fixed to the first fixed frame. It adopts an arc-shaped structure formed by bending steel plate, and its concave arc surface fits the outer periphery of a standard 200-liter bucket. Preferably, the inner surface of the retainer 201 may also be inlaid with an elastic buffer layer, which is made of materials such as rubber or polyurethane, and is used to buffer the impact force between the bucket and the retainer 201 during the bucket holding process, and to increase the friction force to prevent the bucket from sliding.
[0030] The transfer device 3 includes a U-shaped frame 301 with its opening facing the filling cabinet. Multiple rollers 302 for conveying containers are installed laterally at intervals inside the U-shaped frame 301. Each roller 302 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 301 via bearings. The outer circumference of each roller 302 is provided with an anti-slip rubber layer to enhance friction with the bottom of the container. First universal wheels 303 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the U-shaped frame 301. These first universal wheels 303 are heavy-duty universal wheels with brakes, enabling 360° turning and positioning locking. Protective rods 305 are fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 301. The protective rods 305 are circular tubular structures extending along the length of the U-shaped frame 301, used to prevent the containers from tipping over laterally during conveyance. Sliding mechanisms 304 are also symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 301, used to cooperate with the frame 1 to achieve forward and backward sliding. Each support frame 101 of the frame 1 is provided with a second drive mechanism 104 at its bottom, which cooperates with the sliding mechanism 304, and is used to drive the transfer device 3 to move linearly in the front-back direction relative to the frame 1.
[0031] The sliding mechanism 304 includes guide grooves 3041 symmetrically formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the side of the U-shaped frame 301. The guide grooves 3041 are rectangular grooves, and their length direction is consistent with the sliding direction of the transfer device 3. The side of the U-shaped frame 301 is also provided with a transmission bar 3042 that meshes with the second drive mechanism 104. The transmission bar 3042 is a rack structure extending along the length direction of the side of the U-shaped frame 301, and its tooth profile parameters match the gear 1043 of the second drive mechanism 104. The second drive mechanism 104 includes a protective shell 1041 fixed to the bottom of the support frame 101. The protective shell 1041 is cylindrical and hollow inside, and has an opening on the side facing the U-shaped frame 301. The upper and lower ends of the opening are respectively provided with rails 1042 that cooperate with the guide grooves 3041. The rails 1042 are boss structures that slide with the guide grooves 3041, and the two form an embedded sliding pair. The protective shell 1041 contains a gear 1043 that meshes with the transmission bar 3042. A drive motor 1044 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the protective shell 1041. The output shaft of the drive motor 1044 is connected to the gear 1043 via a reducer. The drive motor 1044 is preferably a servo motor, which can achieve precise position control and speed adjustment. A V-shaped extension rod 105 is fixedly mounted on the side of the protective shell 1041 facing away from the U-shaped frame 301. A second universal wheel 1051 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of each of the two free ends of the extension rod 105. The second universal wheel 1051 is also a heavy-duty universal wheel with a brake device. Together with the first universal wheel 303, they form a four-point support structure to improve the stability of the transfer device 3.
[0032] The bucket-carrying cart also includes an operating handle 4, two symmetrically arranged tripods 5, and a controller 6. The two tripods 5 are right-angled triangles, with one right-angle side fixedly connected to the left and right side support frames 101. The other right-angle side of each tripod 5 is at the same horizontal level and extends towards the side away from the bucket-carrying frame 1. The operating handle 4 is a U-shaped rod structure, with both ends fixedly connected to the free ends of the horizontal right-angle sides of the two tripods 5. The surface of the operating handle 4 is covered with a non-slip rubber layer with diamond-shaped anti-slip texture to improve operator comfort and friction. A connecting plate is also provided between the two tripods 5, and the controller 6 is mounted on the connecting plate below the operating handle 4 for easy operation while holding the handle. The controller 6 is a power supply controller, which is electrically connected to the drive motor 1044 of the first drive mechanism 202 and the second drive mechanism 104 via a cable. It can control the lifting and lowering of the bucket clamp 203 and the forward and backward movement of the transfer device 3 according to the preset program or operator instructions, so as to realize the automated operation control of the bucket truck.
[0033] The usage process of the bucket-carrying cart for the filling cabinet of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] First, the operator holds the operating handle 4 and moves the container trolley to the front of the filling cabinet's discharge port using the first swivel caster 303 and the second swivel caster 1051 at the bottom. The operator then pushes the frame 1 to align the opening of the U-shaped frame 301 of the transfer device 3 completely with the filling cabinet. At this point, the trolley's position is locked by the brakes on the swivel casters. Next, the filling cabinet's discharge mechanism is activated, pushing the filled and capped 200-liter finished container onto the roller assembly inside the U-shaped frame 301. The bottom of the container contacts the outer periphery of the roller 302, and under gravity or auxiliary thrust, slides laterally along the roller 302 to the position of the retainer 201. The outer periphery of the container fits against the concave arc surface of the retainer 201, providing lateral support and positioning.
[0035] After the bucket-carrying trolley moves to the pallet placement area, the operator selects "bucket-carrying mode" via the touch interface of controller 6. The first drive mechanism 202 (hydraulic cylinder or electric push rod) drives the bucket-carrying clamp 203 to descend vertically, and the clamping arms close to clamp the upper edge of the bucket. Then, the first drive mechanism 202 reverses its action, lifting the bucket upwards until it is detached from the bearing surface of the roller 302 of the U-shaped frame 301. At this point, the weight of the bucket is entirely borne by the bucket-carrying clamp 203. Immediately afterwards, the servo motor of the second drive mechanism 104 starts, and through the meshing transmission of gear 1043 and transmission bar 3042, it drives the U-shaped frame 301 to slide backward, freeing up the vertical space under the bucket and preventing the transfer device 3 from interfering with the subsequent bucket placement operation.
[0036] Once the U-shaped frame 301 has fully moved into position, the operator pushes the operating handle 4 to adjust the overall position of the bucket-carrying trolley, aligning the bucket held by the bucket clamp 203 with the target pallet's placement area. The controller 6 then issues a "place bucket" command, and the first drive mechanism 202 controls the bucket clamp 203 to slowly descend, smoothly placing the bucket onto the pallet. Once the bottom of the bucket fully contacts the pallet surface, the clamping arms open to release the bucket. Finally, the second drive mechanism 104 drives the U-shaped frame 301 forward to its initial position, completing one finished bucket transfer operation.
[0037] Throughout the process, operators do not need to switch between roller carts and bucket carts. The controller 6 can coordinate the lifting of the bucket clamp 203, the forward and backward sliding of the transfer device 3, and the movement of the entire vehicle. This effectively avoids the inefficiency and tipping risk caused by switching between traditional multiple tools. At the same time, the ergonomic design and anti-slip structure of the operating handle 4 reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve the safety and convenience of operation.
[0038] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
