Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of leather transfer technology, specifically an automatic leather unloading basket. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, leather manufacturing plants commonly use transfer baskets to transport split leather. To facilitate forklift operations, these baskets are typically equipped with forks for the forklift arms to insert into. During forklift operation, the forklift arms must insert into the fork holes in the transfer basket's fork holder to perform handling operations. If the fork holes in the transfer basket's fork holder are too large, it will affect the balance and stability of the transfer basket when the forklift lifts it for transport. If the fork holes are too small, it will not only increase the difficulty of the forklift operator's work, but also cause severe wear and tear on the fork arms and fork holes during repeated forced insertion, significantly shortening the service life of both the transfer basket and the forklift arms.

[0003] In addition, the existing transfer baskets lack an automatic unloading structure at the bottom, which affects the efficiency of transferring and unloading the split leather after it has been transported to the designated location. Furthermore, improper unloading can easily cause scratches and wrinkles on the split leather, affecting the quality of the leather and reducing the product qualification rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic leather unloading basket to at least partially solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic leather unloading basket proposed in this utility model includes:

[0006] The basket has openings at both the top and bottom.

[0007] A fork holder is provided on the upper side wall of the basket, and fork holes are provided inside the fork holder;

[0008] The top clamping plate is configured to slide and lift within the fork hole, and the top wall of the fork hole, together with the top clamping plate, is clamped to the upper and lower sides of the fork arm respectively.

[0009] The unloading mechanism is located on the side wall of the basket.

[0010] The unloading gate is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the basket via a rotating shaft, and the unloading gate is configured to open and close under the drive of the unloading mechanism.

[0011] The basket body has a clamping drive mechanism inside its side wall, and the clamping plate is connected to the clamping drive mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, a clamping cavity is provided in the side wall of the basket. The clamping drive mechanism includes a clamping motor, a clamping screw, a clamping slide rod, and a push plate. The clamping motor is fixedly installed in the clamping cavity. The clamping screw is rotatably installed in the clamping cavity. One end of the clamping screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping motor. The clamping slide rod is fixedly installed in the clamping cavity. A limiting plate is fixedly installed at the upper end of both the clamping screw and the clamping slide rod. The push plate is connected to the clamping screw by threads and slides on the clamping slide rod. The clamping plate is fixedly connected to the push plate and is located above the limiting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the unloading gate is symmetrically rotated in two sets at the lower end of the basket. The unloading mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod, a drive block, and a connecting rod. The electric telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the basket. The drive block is connected to the free end of the electric telescopic rod. A connecting seat is fixedly mounted on the unloading gate. Two sets of connecting rods are provided corresponding to the unloading gate. The two ends of the connecting rods are respectively hinged to the drive block and the connecting seat.

[0014] Furthermore, the unloading mechanism is symmetrically provided in two sets on opposite side walls of the basket. The connecting rods of the two sets of unloading mechanisms are respectively hinged to the two sets of connecting seats at both ends of the unloading gate. The electric telescopic rods of the two sets of unloading mechanisms extend and retract synchronously. Specifically, the synchronous extension and retraction of the two sets of electric telescopic rods can be controlled by a PLC or a microcontroller.

[0015] Furthermore, the side wall of the basket is provided with multiple sets of reinforcing plates arranged vertically and horizontally.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0017] By setting up a top clamping drive mechanism, the top clamping plate is driven to slide and rise within the fork hole, which not only meets the need for convenient insertion and removal of the fork arm within the fork hole, but also solves the problem of shaking caused by the fork hole size being larger than the fork arm size when transferring the basket after the fork arm is inserted, thus affecting the stability of the basket during transport.

[0018] The unloading mechanism enables automatic control of the opening and closing of the unloading gate, meeting the need for convenient and efficient unloading of the two layers of skin inside the basket. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an automatic leather unloading basket, comprising:

[0028] The basket body 1 has openings at both the top and bottom;

[0029] Fork holder 2 is set on the upper side wall of basket 1, and fork hole 3 is opened in the fork holder 2;

[0030] The top clamping plate 4 is configured to slide and lift within the fork hole 3, and the top wall of the fork hole 3, together with the top clamping plate 4, is clamped to the upper and lower sides of the fork arm of the fork.

[0031] The unloading mechanism is located on the side wall of the basket 1;

[0032] The unloading gate 17 is rotatably located at the lower end of the basket 1 via the rotating shaft 5, and the unloading gate 17 is configured to be opened and closed by the unloading mechanism.

[0033] The basket 1 has a clamping drive mechanism inside its side wall, and the clamping plate 4 is connected to the clamping drive mechanism.

[0034] In the initial state, the unloading mechanism controls the unloading gate 17 to be closed, and the top clamping plate 4 is away from the top wall of the fork hole 3. The height of the fork hole 3 is greater than the thickness of the fork arm, and the width of the fork hole 3 is slightly greater than the width of the fork arm, so as to facilitate the insertion of the fork arm into the fork hole 3. In use, the conveyor belt transports the second layer of leather through the upper opening of the basket 1 into the basket 1. The fork arm of the forklift is inserted into the fork hole 3. When the forklift lifts the basket 1 with the fork arm, the upper surface of the fork arm is in contact with the inner top wall of the fork hole 3. The top clamping drive mechanism controls the top clamping plate 4 to approach and fit against the fork arm from below. The cooperation of the top clamping plate 4 and the fork hole 3 improves the stability of the fork arm in the fork hole 3 and prevents the basket 1 from shaking when the forklift moves the basket 1.

[0035] Specifically, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a clamping cavity 6 is provided in the side wall of the basket 1. The clamping drive mechanism includes a clamping motor 7, a clamping screw 8, a clamping slide rod 9, and a push plate 10. The clamping motor 7 is fixedly installed in the clamping cavity 6. The clamping screw 8 is rotatably installed in the clamping cavity 6. One end of the clamping screw 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping motor 7. The clamping slide rod 9 is fixedly installed in the clamping cavity 6. A limiting plate 11 is fixedly installed at the upper end of both the clamping screw 8 and the clamping slide rod 9. The push plate 10 is connected to the clamping screw 8 by a thread, and the push plate 10 is slidably installed on the clamping slide rod 9. The limiting plate 11 limits the upward limit of the push plate 10. The clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to the push plate 10, and the clamping plate 4 is located above the limiting plate 11.

[0036] In use, initially, the clamping plate 4 is located on the bottom wall of the fork hole 3, at which point the space in the fork hole 3 is at its maximum, facilitating the insertion or removal of the fork arm. After the fork arm is inserted into the fork hole 3, the fork arm is controlled to lift the basket 1, and the upper surface of the fork arm contacts the top wall of the fork hole 3. The clamping motor 7 is started, and the clamping motor 7 drives the clamping screw 8 to rotate. Under the drive of the clamping screw 8 and the guidance of the clamping slide rod 9, the clamping plate 4 is driven by the push plate 10, and the upper surface of the clamping plate 4 contacts the lower surface of the fork arm. The position of the fork arm is limited by the cooperation between the clamping plate 4 and the top wall of the fork hole 3, so as to prevent the basket 1 from shaking when the forklift moves the basket 1 by the fork arm because the size of the fork hole 3 is larger than the size of the fork arm.

[0037] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, two sets of unloading gates 17 are symmetrically rotated at the lower end of the basket 1. The unloading mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod 12, a drive block 13, and a connecting rod 14. The electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the basket 1. The drive block 13 is connected to the free end of the electric telescopic rod 12. A connecting seat 15 is fixedly mounted on the unloading gate 17. Two sets of connecting rods 14 are provided corresponding to the unloading gate 17. The two ends of the connecting rod 14 are respectively hinged to the drive block 13 and the connecting seat 15.

[0038] When in use, when the electric telescopic rod 12 retracts, it pulls the unloading gate 17 through the connecting rod 14 to seal the bottom wall of the basket 1. When unloading is required, the electric telescopic rod 12 is activated to extend, and the electric telescopic rod 12 pushes the unloading gate 17 through the connecting rod 14 to open it with the pivot 5 as the fulcrum, thus completing the unloading action.

[0039] Specifically, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, two sets of unloading mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on opposite side walls of the basket 1. The connecting rods 14 of the two sets of unloading mechanisms are respectively hinged to the two sets of connecting seats 15 at both ends of the unloading gate 17. The electric telescopic rods 12 of the two sets of unloading mechanisms extend and retract synchronously. Specifically, the synchronous extension and retraction of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 12 can be controlled by a PLC or a microcontroller.

[0040] In use, the unloading gate 17 is driven synchronously by two sets of symmetrical unloading mechanisms, which improves the stability of the unloading gate 17 in closing to transfer the second layer of leather and opening to unload.

[0041] Specifically, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the side wall of the basket 1 is provided with multiple sets of longitudinally and transversely distributed reinforcing plates 16, and the service life of the basket 1 is guaranteed by the setting of the reinforcing plates 16.
