The materials are then transferred and unloaded at the transfer point. Before reaching the transfer point, the materials cannot be transferred to other vehicles for decentralized transportation. Only after unloading is completed at the current material yard can the materials be transferred to the next unloading yard. In the process of small-scale, multi-site transportation, it is impossible to meet customer needs in a timely manner.

[0003] In the prior art, such as in publication number CN222292519U, a tanker material transfer device is disclosed. It includes a chassis assembly and a mudguard assembly. The mudguard assembly is installed at the rear of the chassis assembly. A tank body is installed in the middle of the chassis assembly.

A discharge pipe assembly is provided on the side of the tank body, and a feed pipe assembly is provided at the rear. Both the feed pipe assembly and the discharge pipe assembly are connected to the tank body. This device solves the problem that in the current stage of transportation with small demand and multiple stations, materials cannot be transferred to other vehicles for decentralized transportation before reaching the transfer point. Materials can only be transferred to the next unloading site after unloading is completed at the current material yard.

[0004] While the aforementioned patent can transfer powdery materials using an air compressor, it cannot handle granular materials with larger individual weights, resulting in significant limitations in its application. Furthermore, it cannot monitor the material volume inside the container in real time, leading to inaccurate control over the amount of material being transferred. Therefore, a tanker material transfer device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0012] Preferably, the locking structure includes a buckle fixed to one side of the baffle and a lock seat fixed to the side wall of the tanker compartment.

[0013] Preferably, the controller communicates with external terminal devices via a wireless signal transmission module.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] 1.

[0023] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, a tanker material transfer device includes a tanker compartment 1. A feeding assembly 2 is fixedly connected inside the tanker compartment 1. A discharge port is fixedly connected to the side of the tanker compartment 1. An inlet is opened adjacent to the discharge port. Hinges 3 are fixedly connected to the sides of both the discharge port and the inlet. A baffle 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the hinge 3. A locking structure is provided on one side of the baffle 4. A plurality of sleeve holes are opened at equal intervals from top to bottom on the surface of the tanker compartment 1. A detection assembly 5 is provided inside the sleeve holes. The feeding assembly 2 includes a conical guide trough 21 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the tanker compartment 1. A U-shaped collecting trough 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the conical guide trough 21. A drive motor 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the U-shaped collecting trough 22. A propeller rod 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 23. One end of the U-shaped collecting trough 22 protrudes from the discharge port.

[0025] During operation, when the tanker material transfer device performs the unloading operation, the drive motor 23 starts and drives the propeller rod 24 to rotate at high speed in the U-shaped collection trough 22. The granular material in the tanker compartment 1 slides down the conical guide trough 21 to the bottom of the U-shaped collection trough 22 under the action of gravity. The propeller rod 24 continuously pushes the material along the extension end of the U-shaped collection trough 22 to the discharge port through rotational thrust. At this time, the operator aligns the protruding U-shaped collection trough 22 guide pipe of the discharge port with the inlet of the other tanker compartment and opens the baffle 4 to realize the stable transfer of granular material between the two tanker compartments.

[0026] Furthermore, the detection component 5 includes an infrared sensor 51 fitted inside the sleeve hole, the surface of the infrared sensor 51 is electrically connected to a controller 52, and the surface of the controller 52 is electrically connected to an operation screen 53.

[0027] During operation, the material level inside the tanker compartment 1 gradually decreases. Multiple infrared sensors 51 (model SICK UM30-214111) installed in the sleeve holes detect the changes in distance between themselves and the material surface in real time. The detection signals are transmitted to the controller 52 (model Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC) via electrical connection. The controller 52 converts the data into the remaining material quantity and displays it on the operation screen 53 (model Siemens KTP700 Basic). The operator can accurately control the start and stop of the drive motor 23 through the real-time feedback from the operation screen 53. At the same time, the controller 52 synchronizes the material quantity data to external terminal equipment through the wireless signal transmission module, realizing remote monitoring and intelligent management of the material discharge quantity.

[0028] Furthermore, the top opening of the conical guide trough 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tanker compartment 1, and its bottom opening is connected to the top of the U-shaped collection trough 22.

[0029] During operation, when materials accumulate in the tank compartment 1, they are concentrated and slide down the inclined surface of the conical guide chute 21 into the U-shaped collection chute 22 under the action of gravity. The guiding effect of the conical guide chute 21 reduces dead corners of material accumulation and accelerates material flow. Combined with the rotation and pushing of the propeller rod 24, efficient conveying is achieved. This structural design optimizes the flow path of materials from the tank compartment 1 to the U-shaped collection chute 22, avoids the blockage problem caused by the dispersed accumulation of large particles, and at the same time increases the concentration of materials entering the pushing area of ​​the propeller rod 24, thereby enhancing the transfer efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, the detection end of the infrared sensor 51 faces the inside of the tank compartment 1 and its signal output end is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 52.

[0031] During operation, the detection end of the infrared sensor 51 is set facing the inside of the tank compartment 1 to monitor the vertical distance between it and the material surface in real time. The detection signal is transmitted to the input end of the controller 52 through an electrical connection. The controller 52 dynamically calculates the remaining material amount based on the data from multiple sets of infrared sensors 51 and displays it synchronously on the operation screen 53. This layout ensures that the infrared sensor 51 can accurately capture changes in the material level. Combined with the equidistant distribution of multiple sets of sleeve holes, it realizes continuous monitoring of different height layers inside the tank compartment 1. Through the data processing function of the controller 52, the distance signal is converted into visualized material quantity information, enabling the operator to accurately control the amount of material poured based on the real-time feedback from the operation screen 53, avoiding excessive pouring or interruption of material in the middle, and significantly improving the controllability and operational accuracy of the pouring process.

[0032] Working principle: When materials need to be transferred, the operator starts the drive motor 23 via the control panel 53. The drive motor 23 drives the propeller 24 to rotate inside the U-shaped collection trough 22. Under the action of gravity, the material in the tank car 1 slides down the inclined surface of the conical guide trough 21 to the bottom of the U-shaped collection trough 22. The propeller 24 pushes the material along the U-shaped collection trough 22 to the end of the guide pipe protruding from the discharge port. At this time, the baffle 4 of the discharge port is opened and the guide pipe is aligned with the inlet of another tank car, completing the continuous transportation of materials from the current tank car 1 to the target tank car. In the process, the material level inside the tank compartment 1 gradually decreases. Multiple infrared sensors 51 installed in the sleeve holes detect the changes in their distance from the material surface in real time. The detection signals are transmitted to the controller 52 through electrical connection. The controller 52 converts multiple sets of distance data into the remaining material amount and displays it synchronously on the operation screen 53. The operator controls the start and stop of the drive motor 23 based on the real-time feedback from the operation screen 53 to accurately adjust the material pouring amount. At the same time, the controller 52 sends the material quantity data to the external terminal device through the wireless signal transmission module, realizing remote monitoring and intelligent management of the entire material pouring process.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or similar improvements made within the theoretical and principle content of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
