Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container loading and unloading, and in particular to a container tipping machine. Background Technology

[0002] A container tilting machine is a large mechanical device used to tilt containers. It is widely used in ports, logistics centers, and other places that require special container loading and unloading operations. Its main function is to quickly and safely tilt containers from one position to another, such as tilting them from horizontal to vertical, so that the container doors face upwards for loading granular cargo. This equipment greatly improves the efficiency of container loading and unloading.

[0003] The structure of a container tipper mainly includes a fixed frame, a tipping frame, an adjusting connection device, an opening and closing structure, and a power system. The fixed frame provides a supporting foundation, the tipping frame realizes the tipping action of the container, and the tipping frame is generally connected to the container using a fixing buckle. The adjusting connection device ensures the stability of the tipping.

[0004] During container loading and unloading, traditional tipping equipment usually relies solely on fasteners to connect with the container. When tipping, the rear of the container lacks effective support, which not only leads to instability during the tipping process, making it prone to swaying or tilting, but may also cause excessive stress on the fasteners due to the concentrated weight of the cargo, affecting their service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a container tipping machine that can effectively solve the problem that traditional tipping equipment usually relies solely on fasteners to connect with the container, and the rear of the container lacks effective support during tipping. This not only leads to instability during tipping, making it easy to shake or tilt, but also may cause excessive stress on the fasteners due to the concentration of cargo weight, thus affecting their service life.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A container tipping machine includes two symmetrically arranged support bases. Each support base is equipped with a lifting hydraulic rod, and a support frame is mounted on each lifting hydraulic rod. Several connecting rods are installed between the two support frames, and tipping frames are mounted on the connecting rods. A tipping hydraulic rod is installed between one side of each lifting hydraulic rod and one end of each support frame. Four symmetrically arranged fixing buckles are fixed to one end of each tipping frame. An auxiliary stabilizing mechanism is provided at one end of each tipping frame. The auxiliary stabilizing mechanism includes a stabilizing rod mounted on the tipping frame, a stabilizing seat fixed to the stabilizing rod, a stabilizing plate mounted on the stabilizing seat, and a storage and adjustment mechanism between the stabilizing seat and the tipping frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after connecting the container to the fixing buckle on the tilting frame, the stabilizing seat of the auxiliary stabilizing mechanism is moved to the rear of the container, and then the rear of the container is supported by the stabilizing plate. This can improve the stability of the container during the tilting process, and at the same time reduce the possibility that the weight of the container is concentrated on the fixing buckle after the container is full of goods, which may cause the fixing buckle to be under excessive force and affect its service life.

[0009] Furthermore, two symmetrical support rods are provided between the stabilizer base and the stabilizer plate. A support rod is provided on one side of the support rod. The support rods are rotatably connected at the middle. One end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the stabilizer plate, and one end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the stabilizer base. A drive assembly is provided between the support rod and the stabilizer base.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the stabilizing plate is supported by support rod one and support rod two. The angle of support rod one and support rod two changes, which drives the stabilizing plate to move, so that the stabilizing plate can easily come into contact with the container.

[0011] Furthermore, a sliding block is rotatably connected to the end of the support rod two away from the stabilizer, and a sliding groove is provided on the stabilizer plate. The sliding block one is located in the sliding groove one and is slidably connected to the stabilizer plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the angle of the second support rod changes, the sliding block pair limits one end of the second support rod, thereby making it easy for one end of the second support rod to move along the stabilizing plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a movable block mounted on a stabilizer base. Both ends of the movable block are fixed with drive rods. One end of each of the two support rods, away from the stabilizer plate, is rotatably connected to a corresponding drive rod. A drive threaded rod is rotatably connected to the stabilizer base. The drive threaded rod passes through the movable block and is threadedly connected to the movable block. A drive motor is fixed on the stabilizer rod, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive threaded rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving block is driven by the drive screw rod, and the moving block drives the support rod one by the drive rod, so that one end of the support rod one can be easily moved along the stable seat.

[0015] Furthermore, a second sliding block is fixed on the movable block, and a second sliding groove is provided on the stabilizing seat. The second sliding block is located inside the second sliding groove, and the second sliding block is slidably connected to the stabilizing seat.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving block drives the sliding block 2 when it moves, which makes it easy to limit the movement of the moving block.

[0017] Furthermore, the storage and adjustment mechanism includes two support rails symmetrically fixed on the flipping frame, and an adjustment rod is slidably connected to the two support rails. One end of the adjustment rod is fixedly connected to the stabilizing rod. The two adjustment rods are located on both sides of the stabilizing seat and are fixedly connected to the stabilizing seat. An adjustment component is provided between one of the support rails and the adjustment rod, and a limit component is provided between the support rail and the adjustment rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting rod moves on the support rail, which in turn moves the stabilizing seat, thereby reducing the possibility that the stabilizing seat may obstruct the movement of containers when the container is under the moving tilting frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment motor fixed on the tilting frame, an adjustment gear fixed at the output end of the adjustment motor, and a uniformly distributed toothed groove on one of the adjustment rods. The adjustment gear passes through the support rail and meshes with the toothed groove on the adjustment rod.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting motor drives the adjusting gear, which in turn drives the adjusting rod, thus facilitating the movement of the adjusting rod on the support rail.

[0021] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting block fixed on the adjusting rod, the limiting block being located at the end of the adjusting rod away from the stabilizing rod, and a limiting groove being formed on the support rail, with the limiting block corresponding to the limiting groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the adjusting rod is retracted, the limiting block on the adjusting rod enters the limiting groove on the support rail, thereby reducing the possibility of the adjusting rod separating from the support rail.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;

[0024] 1. This utility model moves the stabilizing plate to the rear of the container by having the stabilizing seat move it. Then, the stabilizing plate is pressed against the rear of the container by support rod one and support rod two. The stabilizing plate supports the rear of the container during the tilting process, thereby improving the stability of the container during tilting. At the same time, it reduces the possibility that the weight of the container will be concentrated on the fixing buckle after the container is fully loaded, which may cause excessive stress on the fixing buckle and affect its service life.

[0025] 2. This utility model utilizes an adjusting motor to drive an adjusting gear, which in turn drives an adjusting rod. The adjusting rod slides on the support rail, causing the adjusting rod to move the stabilizing seat. This allows the stabilizing seat to extend or retract on the tilting frame, thereby reducing the possibility of the stabilizing seat obstructing the movement of containers when they are under the moving tilting frame.

[0036] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0037] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0038] This application discloses a container tipping machine.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A container tipping machine includes two symmetrically arranged support bases 1. Each support base 1 is equipped with a lifting hydraulic rod 2, and a support frame 3 is mounted on the lifting hydraulic rod 2. Several connecting rods 4 are installed between the two support frames 3, and a tipping frame 5 is mounted on each connecting rod 4. A tipping hydraulic rod 9 is installed between one side of the lifting hydraulic rod 2 and one end of the support frame 3. Four symmetrically arranged fixing buckles 6 are fixed to the tipping frame 5. An auxiliary stabilizing mechanism 7 is provided at one end of the tipping frame 5. The auxiliary stabilizing mechanism 7 includes a stabilizing rod 72 mounted on the tipping frame 5, a stabilizing seat 71 fixed to the stabilizing rod 72, a stabilizing plate 73 mounted on the stabilizing seat 71, and a storage and adjustment mechanism 8 between the stabilizing seat 71 and the tipping frame 5.

[0040] When using this container tilting machine, move the container under the tilting frame 5, and then use the lifting hydraulic rod to lower the tilting frame 5, so that the fixing buckle 6 is fixedly connected to the container. Then, use the storage adjustment mechanism 8 to extend the stabilizing seat 71 on the auxiliary stabilizing mechanism 7 to the rear of the container. The stabilizing rod 72 limits the stabilizing seat 71 to keep it stable when it is extended. Then, let the stabilizing plate 73 abut against the rear of the container. Then, use the tilting hydraulic rod 9 to pull the support frame 3, so that the support frame 3 rotates on the lifting hydraulic rod 2. The support frame 3 drives the tilting frame 5, and the tilting frame 5 drives the container to stand up. After connecting the container to the fixing buckle 6 on the tilting frame 5, use the stabilizing seat 71 of the auxiliary stabilizing mechanism 7 to move to the rear of the container, and then use the stabilizing plate 73 to support the rear of the container. This can improve the stability of the container during the tilting process, and at the same time reduce the possibility that the weight of the container is concentrated on the fixing buckle 6 after the container is full of goods, causing the fixing buckle 6 to be under excessive force and affecting its service life.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Two symmetrical support rods 74 are provided between the stabilizer 71 and the stabilizer plate 73. A support rod 75 is provided on one side of the support rod 74. The middle of the support rod 74 and the support rod 75 are rotatably connected. One end of the support rod 74 is rotatably connected to the stabilizer plate 73, and one end of the support rod 75 is rotatably connected to the stabilizer 71. A drive assembly 76 is provided between the support rod 74 and the stabilizer 71.

[0042] In addition, a sliding block 78 is rotatably connected to the end of the support rod 75 away from the stabilizer 71. A sliding groove 77 is provided on the stabilizer plate 73. The sliding block 78 is located in the sliding groove 77 and is slidably connected to the stabilizer plate 73.

[0043] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 76 includes a movable block 761 mounted on a stabilizing base 71. Both ends of the movable block 761 are fixed with drive rods 762. The ends of two support rods 74 away from the stabilizing plate 73 are rotatably connected to the corresponding drive rods 762. A drive threaded rod 764 is rotatably connected to the stabilizing base 71. The drive threaded rod 764 passes through the movable block 761 and is threadedly connected to the movable block 761. A drive motor 763 is fixed on the stabilizing rod 72. The output end of the drive motor 763 is fixedly connected to the drive threaded rod 764.

[0044] In this embodiment, a second sliding block 765 is fixed on the moving block 761, and a second sliding groove 766 is provided on the stabilizing seat 71. The second sliding block 765 is located inside the second sliding groove, and the second sliding block 765 is slidably connected to the stabilizing seat 71.

[0045] The stabilizing seat 71 moves the stabilizing plate 73 to the rear of the container, allowing the stabilizing plate 73 to support the rear of the container during tilting, thus improving the stability of the container. The drive motor 763 uses the drive threaded rod 764 to drive the moving block 761, which in turn drives the drive rod 762. The drive rod 762 drives the first support rod 74, facilitating an angle change between the first support rod 74 and the second support rod 75. This allows the first support rod 74 and the second support rod 75 to press the stabilizing plate 73 against the rear of the container, while also facilitating the retraction of the stabilizing plate 73 and reducing friction between the stabilizing plate 73 and the container. During the movement of the first support rod 74 and the second support rod 75, the sliding block 78 on the second support rod 75 slides in the sliding groove 77. The moving block 761 allows the second support rod 75 to move stably along with the first support rod 74, facilitating support for the stabilizing plate 73. When the moving block 761 moves, it drives the second sliding block 765, which moves within the second sliding groove 766 on the stabilizing seat 71. This allows the moving block 761 to move smoothly on the stabilizing seat 71. By moving the stabilizing seat 71 to the rear of the container, the stabilizing plate 73 is then pressed against the rear of the container by the first support rod 74 and the second support rod 75. This provides support for the rear of the container during the tilting process, improving stability and reducing the risk of excessive stress on the fixing buckle 6 when the container is fully loaded, thus extending its service life.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7The storage and adjustment mechanism 8 includes two support rails 81 symmetrically fixed on the flip frame 5. Adjustment rods 82 are slidably connected to the two support rails 81. One end of the adjustment rod 82 is fixedly connected to the stabilizing rod 72. The two adjustment rods 82 are located on both sides of the stabilizing seat 71 and are fixedly connected to the stabilizing seat 71. An adjustment component 83 is provided between one of the support rails 81 and the adjustment rod 82. A limit component 84 is provided between the support rail 81 and the adjustment rod 82.

[0047] In addition, the adjustment assembly 83 includes an adjustment motor 831 fixed on the tilting frame 5. An adjustment gear 832 is fixed at the output end of the adjustment motor 831. A uniformly distributed tooth groove 833 is provided on one of the adjustment rods 82. The adjustment gear 832 passes through the support rail 81 and meshes with the tooth groove 833 on the adjustment rod 82.

[0048] Furthermore, the limiting component 84 includes a limiting block 841 fixed on the adjusting rod 82. The limiting block 841 is located at the end of the adjusting rod 82 away from the stabilizing rod 72. A limiting groove 842 is formed on the support rail 81, and the limiting block 841 corresponds to the limiting groove 842.

[0049] After the container moves under the tilting frame 5, the two adjusting rods 82 drive the stabilizing seat 71 to slide on the two support rails 81, facilitating the movement of the stabilizing seat 71 and the stabilizing plate 73 to the rear of the container. The adjusting motor 831 drives the adjusting gear 832, which uses its tooth grooves 833 to move the adjusting rod 82, facilitating its movement on the support rails 81. When the container completes its tilting and resetting, the adjusting gear 832 on the adjusting motor 831 drives the adjusting rod 82, causing the adjusting rod 82 to move the stabilizing seat 71 upwards on the tilting frame 5, thus moving the stabilizing seat 71... The stabilizer 71 is retracted to facilitate the movement of the container from under the tilting frame 5, reducing the possibility of the stabilizer 71 obstructing the movement of the container. When the adjusting rod 82 is moved upwards on the tilting frame 5, the limiting block 841 on the adjusting rod 82 moves to the limiting groove 842 on the support rail 81, reducing the possibility of the adjusting rod 82 disengaging from the support rail 81. By using the adjusting rod 82 to slide on the support rail 81, the adjusting rod 82 drives the stabilizer 71, allowing the stabilizer 71 to extend or retract on the tilting frame 5, thereby reducing the possibility of the stabilizer 71 obstructing the movement of the container when moving the container under the tilting frame 5.

[0050] Working principle: When the tilting frame 5 is needed to tilt a container, first move the container under the tilting frame 5, then use the lifting hydraulic rod 2 to lower the tilting frame 5, fixing the fixing buckle 6 on the tilting frame 5 to the container. Then, use the lifting hydraulic rod 2 to raise the container. At the same time, use the adjusting motor 831 to drive the adjusting gear 832, which in turn drives the adjusting rod 82, allowing the adjusting rod 82 to slide in the support rail 81, moving the stabilizing seat 71 to the rear of the container. Then, use the drive motor 763 to drive the drive threaded rod 764, which in turn drives the moving block 761. When the moving block 761 moves, the drive rod 762 drives the two support rods 74 to move, and then the second support rod 75 slides the first block 78. Under constraints, the angle between support rod 1 74 and support rod 2 75 is changed, causing support rod 1 74 and support rod 2 75 to lift the stabilizing plate 73, so that the stabilizing plate 73 abuts against the rear of the container. Then, the tilting hydraulic rod 9 is used to drive the support frame 3, which in turn drives the tilting frame 5, causing the tilting frame 5 to tilt the container. During the tilting process, the stabilizing plate 73 supports the rear of the container. After the container is tilted and reset, the moving block 761 is used to drive support rod 1 74, which in turn drives support rod 1 74 and support rod 2 75 to reset the stabilizing plate 73. Then, the adjusting gear 832 is used to drive the adjusting rod 82, which in turn drives the stabilizing seat 71, moving the stabilizing seat 71 to the side of the tilting frame 5 away from the container. Finally, the container is moved away, completing the container tilting operation.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
