Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unloading technology, specifically to a container unloading system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, after the powder is transported to the vicinity of the nearby silo via a container on a powder transport vehicle, it needs to be transported to a large storage silo using conveying equipment, and then the powder is transported out of the large storage silo for filling.

[0003] However, in the existing unloading system, after the transport vehicle moves to the designated position, it needs to be connected to the container on the transport vehicle through the conveying pipe to extract the powder inside the container. During the unloading process of the powder inside the container, not only does the transport vehicle need to stop at the designated position during the extraction process, which consumes a lot of time, but the extraction process is also relatively troublesome. The powder unloading process of the current vehicle will affect the unloading of subsequent vehicles, resulting in the overall unloading efficiency of the existing unloading system being not high.

[0004] Based on the above background, the inventors designed a container unloading and handling system to solve at least one of the above problems, and hereby submit this application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a container unloading system to solve the problem of low unloading efficiency in existing powder unloading systems.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a container unloading and handling system, including a tipping assembly, a pumping assembly, a storage bin 5, a metering and feeding device 6, and a filling assembly, wherein:

[0034] The flipping assembly includes a flipping frame 1 and a gripping device 13 for gripping the container body 2, the gripping device 13 being mounted on the flipping frame 1;

[0035] The feeding component is located directly below the gripping device 13 of the flipping component. The discharge end of the feeding component is connected to the inlet at the top of the storage bin 5, and the discharge outlet at the bottom of the storage bin 5 is connected to the inlet of the canning component through the metering feeding device 6.

[0036] It also includes a cover 3 for installation at the door of the container body 2. The container body 2 is connected to the feed end of the feeding assembly through the cover 3 and the unloading pipe installed thereon.

[0037] This embodiment, by setting up a tilting component, a pumping component, a storage bin 5, a metering and feeding device 6, and a filling component, allows the container body 2 to be gripped and removed entirely by the gripping device 13 on the tilting component after the transport vehicle moves to the designated position. It then tilts the container body 2 90° to a vertical position. At this point, the hatch is opened, and the cover 3 is installed at the hatch of the container body 2. The tilting frame 1 of the tilting component then tilts the container body 2 180° so that the cover 3 is at the bottom of the container body 2. At this point, unloading, storage, and filling processes can be carried out. Compared to existing technologies, this embodiment allows the transport vehicle to quickly move to a new position after removing the entire container body 2, providing space for subsequent unloading of the container body 2. It utilizes the unloading time of the container body 2 for transport vehicle positioning, reducing ineffective waiting time during the unloading process and effectively improving the unloading efficiency of the entire unloading system, thus effectively solving the problems of existing technologies.

[0038] The flipping frame 1 and gripping device 13 in this embodiment are existing equipment and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly includes an air compressor 8 and an embedded feeding pump 4;

[0040] The output end of the air compressor 8 is connected to the unloading pipe between the cover 3 and the feeding assembly.

[0041] In this embodiment, the air compressor 8, the embedded delivery pump 4, and the cover 3 are all existing equipment and components, and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In this embodiment, at least two dust collectors 7 are also included. The exhaust end of one dust collector 7 is connected to the top of the buried sending pump 4 or the horizontal sending pump 16, and the exhaust end of the other dust collector 7 is connected to the top of the storage silo 5, so as to avoid excessive dust in the buried sending pump 4 and the storage silo 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bottom of the storage bin 5 is provided with a vibrating unloader 9, the feed end of the metering feeding device 6 is connected to the vibrating unloader 9, and the discharge end of the metering feeding device 6 is connected to the feed inlet of the filling component. The vibrating unloader 9 can prevent the powder in the storage bin 5 from getting stuck when it is sent to the filling component.

[0044] In this embodiment, the filling component is the slurry mixing tank 10, which is existing equipment and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the metering and feeding device 6 is an inclined spiral feeding auger.

[0046] In this embodiment, the system also includes a crane frame 15 and an electric trolley 17 mounted on the crane frame 15, as well as a lifting device 14 connected to the top of the electric trolley 17. In this embodiment, the lifting device 14 can facilitate the lifting of the cover 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the container body 2 is also provided with two sets of door drive rods 12 for opening the container body 2, so as to facilitate opening the door.

[0048] In this embodiment, the storage bin 5 is provided with an explosion vent 11 to prevent the powder in the storage bin 5 from being overfilled.

[0049] In this embodiment, the flipping frame 1 has a flipping angle range of -90° to 90° with the horizontal plane as 0°. This allows the gripping device 13 on the flipping frame 1 to grab the container body 2 and then flip the hatch side of the container body 2 to the top of the container body 2 to facilitate the installation of the cover 3. Afterward, the hatch side of the container body 2 is flipped to the bottom to facilitate the unloading of powder from the container body 2.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding assembly in this embodiment includes a horizontal feeding pump 16, replacing the buried feeding pump 4 in Embodiment 1. The horizontal feeding pump 16 avoids the need to excavate a pit for installing the buried feeding pump 4 when constructing the entire unloading system. However, the tilting assembly and the overhead crane 15 need to be more adaptable so that the tilting assembly is located directly above the horizontal feeding pump 16. The horizontal feeding pump 16 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In this embodiment, the spreader 14 can easily lift the cover 3 and transfer the container body 2 from the transport vehicle to the tilting assembly.

[0053] Technicians can choose either the buried sending pump 4 in Example 1 or the horizontal sending pump 16 in this example, depending on the site conditions and construction requirements.

[0054] The remaining structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1 above, and will not be described again here.

[0055] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of this utility model, and the utility model is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
