Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automatic gooseneck trough feeding device for container manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] The gooseneck groove is a key structure on the chassis of container transport vehicles. Located at the front of the trailer or skeleton truck, it features a recessed design specifically tailored to the gooseneck structure at the bottom of shipping containers. Standard containers have protruding gooseneck grooves at both ends of their bottom. These grooves engage with the vehicle's gooseneck groove for a secure fixation, while simultaneously reducing the overall height after loading, improving transport stability and road passability. During container manufacturing, the gooseneck groove is welded to the container body, a process that requires a loading device.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN221115988U discloses an automatic feeding device for gooseneck troughs in container manufacturing. This device uses a lifting module to push a distributing module upwards. During the upward rotation of the flipping end around the hinged end, the flipping end moves relative to the first gooseneck trough, causing it to detach from the first trough. A receiving module then receives the adjacent second gooseneck trough. The lifting module lowers the distributing module, moving the first gooseneck trough to the conveying module, which then transports it to the next workstation. However, in use, multiple gooseneck troughs are tightly stacked on top of the flipping end, making it easy for the upper troughs to get stuck inside the lower ones, hindering separation and preventing consistent feeding. Furthermore, when the gooseneck troughs are depleted, workers need to replenish them, which is time-consuming. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose an automatic feeding device for gooseneck troughs in container production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic gooseneck trough feeding device for container production, comprising a base plate, wherein multiple support rods are fixedly fixed on the upper surface side of the base plate, and a conveying component is fixedly connected to the top of the multiple support rods. A lifting plate is provided below the conveying component, and a detachable gooseneck trough placement frame is fixedly fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate, and the placement frame is located above the conveying component. Two symmetrical lifting components are fixedly fixed on the upper surface of the base plate and on both sides of the lifting plate, and the lifting plate is fixedly connected to the moving end of the lifting component. A drive component for driving the lifting component to operate is installed on the upper surface of the base plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the placement rack includes a gantry frame, and several sets of symmetrical support plates are fixed on both sides of the inner side wall of the gantry frame, and handles are fixed on both sides of the outer side wall of the gantry frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the lifting plate is fixed with sleeves on both sides, and the bottom ends of the two sides of the gantry are respectively inserted into the two sleeves.

[0008] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a U-shaped frame fixed to the top of a plurality of support rods, and a belt is mounted on the U-shaped frame. A first motor for driving the belt to rotate is mounted on the outside of the U-shaped frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a guide rail fixed to the upper surface of the base plate. A groove is provided on the side of the guide rail near the lifting plate. A slider is slidably connected inside the groove, and the slider is fixedly connected to the lifting plate. A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the groove through a bearing. The lead screw passes through the slider and is rotatably connected to the slider through a thread.

[0010] Furthermore, a worm gear is fixed to the bottom end of the lead screw, and the drive assembly includes a second motor fixed to the upper surface of the base plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an automatic gooseneck trough feeding device for container production is disclosed, comprising a base plate 1, multiple support rods 2 fixed on the upper surface of the base plate 1, a conveying assembly 3 fixedly connected to the top of the multiple support rods 2, a lifting plate 4 disposed below the conveying assembly 3, a detachable gooseneck trough placement rack 5 fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate 4, and the placement rack 5 being located above the conveying assembly 3, two symmetrical lifting assemblies 7 fixed on the upper surface of the base plate 1 and on both sides of the lifting plate 4, and the moving ends of the lifting plate 4 and the lifting assemblies 7 being fixedly connected, and a drive assembly 8 for driving the lifting assembly 7 to operate is installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1.

[0022] The placement rack 5 includes a gantry frame 51, and several sets of symmetrical support plates 52 are fixed on both sides of the inner side wall of the gantry frame 51, and handles 53 are fixed on both sides of the outer side wall of the gantry frame 51.

[0023] In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent trays 52 on the same side is greater than the height of a single gooseneck groove. To prevent the gooseneck groove from getting stuck, the flip plates at both ends of the gooseneck groove are placed on the surfaces of two symmetrical trays 52 in the same group. The trays 52 support the gooseneck groove, and the two adjacent gooseneck grooves do not contact each other, thereby preventing the upper and lower gooseneck grooves from getting stuck together.

[0024] Both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate 4 are fixed with clips 6, and the bottom of both sides of the gantry frame 51 are respectively inserted into the two clips 6.

[0025] When fixing the placement frame 5 to the surface of the lifting platform 4, simply insert both ends of the gantry frame 51 into the sleeves 6. When disassembling the placement frame 5, fix it to the handle 53 via the lifting mechanism, and then lift the placement frame 5 away. The lifting mechanism is a commonly used piece of equipment in container production.

[0026] The conveying assembly 3 includes a U-shaped frame 31 fixed to the top of a plurality of support rods 2, and a belt 32 is mounted on the U-shaped frame 31. A first motor 33 for driving the belt 32 to rotate is mounted on the outside of the U-shaped frame 31.

[0027] In this embodiment, the conveying component 3 is the belt conveyor in the prior art. The belt 32 is driven to rotate by the first motor 33. When a gooseneck trough falls onto the surface of the belt 32, the gooseneck trough is conveyed to the next process section by the belt 32.

[0028] The lifting assembly 7 includes a guide rail 71 fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 1. A groove 72 is provided on the side of the guide rail 71 near the lifting plate 4. A slider 73 is slidably connected inside the groove 72, and the slider 73 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 4. A lead screw 74 is rotatably connected inside the groove 72 through a bearing. The lead screw 74 passes through the slider 73 and is rotatably connected to the slider 73 through a thread.

[0029] When the lead screw 74 rotates, it drives the slider 73 to move along the slide groove 72. Changing the direction of rotation of the lead screw 74 will make the slider 73 rise and fall along the slide groove 72.

[0030] The bottom end of the lead screw 74 is fixed with a worm gear 75. The drive assembly 8 includes a second motor 81 fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The drive end of the second motor 81 is fixed with a horizontal shaft 82. The horizontal shaft 82 passes through two guide rails 71 and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the guide rails 71 through bearings. Worms 83 are fixed on the surface of the horizontal shaft 82 near the two worm gears 75. The two worms 83 mesh with the two worm gears 75 respectively.

[0031] Under the meshing transmission of the worm gear 83 and worm wheel 75, the horizontal shaft 82 driven by the second motor 81 can drive the two lead screws 74 to rotate synchronously. Therefore, controlling the second motor 81 to rotate forward or backward can realize the lifting and lowering of the two sliders 73, thereby driving the lifting plate 4 and the placement frame 5 to lift and lower.

[0032] In this embodiment, a Siemens S7-200 SMART programmable controller (not shown in the figure) is installed on the surface of the base plate 1. The first motor 33 and the second motor 81 are both servo motors, and the specific models are not limited. The controller controls the operation of the first motor 33 and the second motor 81.

[0033] Working Principle: The placement rack 5 containing gooseneck grooves is placed on the surface of the lifting plate 4 via a hoisting mechanism. During loading, the drive assembly 8 first drives the lifting assembly 7 to lower the lifting plate 4 and placement rack 5 a specified distance, so that the lowest gooseneck groove lands on the surface of the conveyor belt 32 of the conveyor assembly 3. Then, the conveyor assembly 3 transports the gooseneck grooves on its surface to the next process segment. After the gooseneck groove is transported, the drive assembly 8 drives the lifting assembly 7 to lower the lifting plate 4 and placement rack 5 a specified distance, so that the next gooseneck groove continues to land on the surface of the conveyor belt 32 for transport, and so on in a continuous cycle. When the gooseneck grooves on the placement rack 5 are exhausted, the drive assembly 8 drives the lifting assembly 7 to move the lifting plate 4 and placement rack 5 back to their original position, and then the placement rack 5 is removed. The next batch of placement racks 5 with gooseneck grooves is then fixed on the lifting plate 4, and loading can continue without stopping.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it.
