[0009] In some embodiments, the base is provided with a first liquid receiving groove surrounding the support portion, and the first liquid receiving groove is connected to the receiving cavity.

[0010] In some embodiments, the material support and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity define a gap channel; the orthographic projection of the gap channel onto the reference plane is within the orthographic projection range of the first liquid receiving tank onto the reference plane, the reference plane being a plane perpendicular to the first direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the base body has an installation channel along a first direction on the side facing the cage body, and a second liquid receiving groove is arranged around the installation channel; the second liquid receiving groove and the installation channel are independent of each other, and the second liquid receiving groove is connected to the receiving cavity; the output end of the drive mechanism extends out of the base body through the installation channel.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pressure applying mechanism is fixed to the base, and the pressure applying mechanism and the material support are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction.

[0013] In some embodiments, the cage has a plurality of receiving cavities arranged along a second direction, and the material support member is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the receiving cavity. Multiple drive mechanisms are provided, and at least one support portion is provided. The drive mechanisms and the support portion are arranged along the second direction, and the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. The base is configured to be movable relative to the cage along the second direction, so that the material support member can switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the material support member is engaged with the corresponding drive mechanism and can move along the first direction in response to the drive mechanism. In the second state, the material support member is supported by the support portion.

[0014] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism and the support portion are arranged alternately along a second direction; in two adjacent material support members along the second direction, one material support member is in a first state and the other material support member is in a second state.

The supporting mechanism includes at least a cage and a material support component. Since the material support component is movably disposed within the receiving cavity of the cage and has a placement position supported by the supporting portion, the force acting on the material support component will not be transmitted to the cage when the pressing mechanism applies pressure to the material within the receiving cavity of the cage. This not only improves the situation where the cage deforms or is damaged due to the force, reducing the impact on the material during processing and lowering production costs, but also allows the force applied by the pressing mechanism to act more accurately on the material, thus improving the pressing effect and production efficiency. Therefore, the material handling device provided in this application embodiment can improve the material handling effect while increasing production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0055] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a material handling device 100 in some embodiments of this application from one perspective. The embodiments of this application provide a material handling device 100, including a supporting mechanism 110, a pressure applying mechanism 120, a base 130, and a driving mechanism 140.

[0057] The supporting mechanism 110 includes a cage 111 and a material support 112. The cage 111 has a receiving cavity Q that extends through the cage 111 along a first direction F1. The material support 112 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity Q. A pressure applying mechanism 120 is configured to apply pressure to the material within the receiving cavity Q along the first direction F1. A seat 130 is located on the bottom side of the cage 111, which is one side of the cage 111 along the first direction F1. The seat 130 has a supporting portion 131. A driving mechanism 140 is adapted to the material support 112. The driving mechanism 140 is used to drive the material support 112 to move along the first direction F1. The material support 112 has a placement position supported by the supporting portion 131. In this embodiment, the first direction F1 is a vertical direction, and the second direction F2 and the third direction F3 are horizontal directions. The first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0058] The carrying mechanism 110 is a mechanism in the material handling device 100 used to carry materials. The cage 111 is a component in the carrying mechanism 110 used to contain and confine the materials being processed. The cage 111 is a relatively fixed component. The material handling device 100 can be used in industries such as soy sauce brewing, winemaking, sugar refining, and chemicals. Taking soy sauce brewing as an example, the material can be soy sauce mash. The soy sauce mash can be wrapped with filter cloth and then stacked into the receiving cavity Q of the cage 111, and supported by the material support component 112. The cage 111 is provided with the receiving cavity Q, which is used to provide space for containing materials. For example, the receiving cavity Q can be used to contain the filter cloth wrapped with soy sauce mash. The receiving cavity Q penetrates the cage 111 along the first direction F1, that is, the receiving cavity Q has a first opening and a second opening that are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction F1. The first opening is located on the top side of the receiving cavity Q, and the second opening is located on the bottom side of the receiving cavity Q. The material can be received in the receiving cavity Q through the top side of the receiving cavity Q, that is, the material can enter the receiving cavity Q through the first opening.

[0059] The material support 112 is used to support the material contained within the receiving cavity Q. During the pressurization process of the material, liquid-sludge separation is achieved. The separated liquid flows out of the receiving cavity Q through the second opening. The material support 112 and the cage 111 may or may not be connected; no specific limitation is made here. When the material support 112 and the cage 111 are connected, the material support 112 is movable and engages with the cage 111 along the first direction F1. Thus, when the material support 112 is subjected to a force along the first direction F1, because the material support 112 can move relative to the cage 111 along the first direction F1, the material support 112 will not transmit the force to the cage 111. When the material support 112 and the cage 111 are not connected, when the material support 112 is subjected to a force along the first direction F1, the material support 112 will also not transmit the force to the cage 111. Figure 1For example, the illustration shows the situation where there is no connection between the material support 112 and the cage 111. In order to facilitate understanding, the illustration shows the situation where the material support 112 supports material. Some of the attached drawings shown later also illustrate the situation where the material support 112 supports material, which will not be repeated here.

[0060] The pressure applying mechanism 120 is a mechanism capable of applying pressure to materials along the first direction F1. The pressure applying mechanism 120 includes a pressure applying part 121 and a drive structure 122 for driving the pressure applying part 121 to move along the first direction F1. The drive structure 122 includes, but is not limited to, components such as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0061] The base 130 is a component that provides support for the material support member 112. The support portion 131 of the base 130 supports the material support member 112. The support portion 131 of the base 130 is adapted to the material support member 112. When the base 130 is fixedly installed, the support portion 131 and the material support member 112 are positioned opposite each other along the first direction F1. When the base 130 is movable, the support portion 131 may be positioned opposite the material support member 112 along the first direction F1 or not opposite the material support member 112 along the first direction F1. When the support portion 131 and the material support member 112 are not opposite each other along the first direction F1, the material support member 112 may be connected to the cage 111 by means of a hanging mechanism shown later, or the material support member 112 may be supported by a drive mechanism 140 shown later; no specific limitations are made here.

[0062] The drive mechanism 140 is adapted to the material support 112, meaning that the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 have a cooperative relationship. When the material support 112 needs to move along the first direction F1, the drive mechanism 140 drives the material support 112 to move along the first direction F1. The drive mechanism 140 may or may not be connected to the material support 112; no specific limitation is made here. When the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are connected, the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are relatively fixed, and the material support 112 can move along the first direction F1 under the action of the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140. When there is no connection between the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112, the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 can be positioned opposite to the material support 112 along the first direction F1. The output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 can also have a state where it is positioned opposite to the material support 112 along the first direction F1, or a state where it is not positioned opposite to the material support 112 along the first direction F1; no specific limitation is made here. When the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are not opposite each other along the first direction F1, the material support 112 can be connected to the cage 111 by means of the hanging mechanism shown later. Of course, it can also be understood in conjunction with the situation of the supporting part 131 and the material support 112 as shown above. When the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are not opposite each other along the first direction F1, the material support 112 can be supported on the supporting part 131 of the base 130; no specific limitation is made here.

[0063] For example, with Figure 1 For example, the driving mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction F1. In this case, the driving mechanism 140 and the material support 112 may or may not be connected. When there is no connection between the driving mechanism 140 and the material support 112, the driving mechanism 140 supports the material support 112 and can separate from the material support 112 when the material support 112 is supported by the bearing portion 131. Wherein... Figure 1 The diagram illustrates one of the states in which the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are engaged.

[0064] It should be noted that the arrangement and cooperation of the seat 130, drive mechanism 140, and material support 112 can be implemented according to the above-illustrated configuration, as long as material handling is possible; no specific limitations are imposed here. During the process of placing material into the receiving cavity Q, the drive mechanism 140 drives the material support 112 to move along the first direction F1 towards the bottom of the receiving cavity Q. During the process of removing material from the receiving cavity Q, the drive mechanism 140 drives the material support 112 to move along the first direction F1 towards the top of the receiving cavity Q. The process of placing and removing material can be considered as a material transfer process. During the material transfer process, the speed at which the drive mechanism 140 drives the material support 112 to move along the first direction F1 can be controlled according to the material transfer speed; no specific limitations are imposed here. When material is wrapped in filter cloth, the material transfer process can be considered as the stacking and unpacking process of the filter cloth. When pressure needs to be applied to the material, the material support 112 is supported by the supporting part 131. In this way, the supporting part 131 can support the material support 112, providing support for the material support 112, so that the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the material support 112 cooperate with each other to realize the processing of materials.

[0065] Since the material support 112 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity Q of the cage 111, and the material support 112 has a placement position supported by the bearing portion 131, the force acting on the material support 112 will not be transmitted to the cage 111 when the pressing mechanism 120 applies pressure to the material in the receiving cavity Q of the cage 111. This not only improves the situation where the cage 111 is deformed or damaged due to the force, reducing the impact on the material during material processing and lowering production costs, but also allows the force applied by the pressing mechanism 120 to act more accurately on the material, which is beneficial to improving the pressing effect and production efficiency. Therefore, the material processing device 100 provided in this embodiment can improve the material processing effect while increasing production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0066] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 At least a portion of the drive mechanism 140 is disposed within the base 130. The output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 is engaged with the material support member 112, and the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 can extend or retract relative to the base 130 toward the cage 111 in a first direction F1.

[0067] At least a portion of the drive mechanism 140 is disposed within the base 130; that is, the drive mechanism 140 may be partially or entirely disposed within the base 130. The entire drive mechanism 140 being disposed within the base 130 means that when the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 is retracted, the drive mechanism 140 is entirely located within the base 130. Figure 1For example, it is shown that a part of the drive mechanism 140 is located inside the base 130, and another part of the drive mechanism 140 is located outside the base 130.

[0068] The output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 is engaged with the material support 112. This can be understood by referring to the previously illustrated diagrams showing whether the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are connected or not. That is, depending on the different implementations of the base 130 and the drive mechanism 140, the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 may or may not be connected to the material support 112. When the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are connected, the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 is flush with the support portion 131 when the drive mechanism 140 is retracted.

[0069] For example, the drive mechanism 140 can be a lifting cylinder, a motor screw, etc., as long as it can provide power to enable the material support 112 to rise or fall along the first direction F1. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0070] The base 130 provides mounting space for the drive mechanism 140, allowing it to be at least partially housed within it, which facilitates a compact overall layout. Since the base 130 is located on the bottom side of the cage 111, the drive mechanism 140 is also located on the bottom side of the cage 111. By extending or retracting relative to the base 130 towards the cage 111 in the first direction F1, the position of the material support 112 in the first direction F1 can be controlled, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of material handling.

[0071] Of course, in some other embodiments, the drive mechanism 140 may not drive the material support 112 from the bottom side. For example, a clearance space is provided on the periphery of the cage 111, and the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 extends into the receiving cavity Q through the clearance space. The output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 cooperates with the material support 112, and the material support 112 can move along the first direction F1 under the drive of the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140.

[0072] It should be noted that when the drive mechanism 140 drives the material support component 112 from the bottom side, the drive mechanism 140 can be a lifting cylinder. For example, taking material wrapped in filter cloth as an example, the drive mechanism 140 supports the material support component 112 for raising and lowering. During the cloth application process, the material support component 112 gradually lowers under the support of the drive mechanism 140 to achieve cloth application. After the pressure applying mechanism 120 has applied pressure to the filter cloth wrapped with material, the material support component 112 gradually rises under the support of the drive mechanism 140, which facilitates the removal and cleaning of the filter cloth. This allows the drive mechanism 140 to directly lift the material support component 112. Compared to using wire ropes, pulleys, etc., this eliminates the need for an indirect transmission structure, resulting in a more compact overall structure and a more stable lifting of the material support component 112.

[0073] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The cage 111 is fixed to the base 130, and the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 can extend or retract relative to the support part 131 in the first direction F1 toward the cage 111.

[0074] Since the cage 111 is fixed to the base 130, the cage 111 and the base 130 are relatively fixed to each other. At this time, the bearing part 131 and the material support part 112 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction F1. For example, a sealing element can also be provided between the cage 111 and the base 130 to further improve the sealing performance between the cage 111 and the base 130.

[0075] Thus, the base 130, as a basic support structure, provides a stable mounting platform for the cage 111 and other related components (such as the drive mechanism 140), making the overall structure of the device more compact and reasonable, which is conducive to the miniaturization and integration of the device. Furthermore, since the cage 111 is relatively fixed to the base 130, the problems of back-and-forth pulling and suspension of the filter cloth during movement can be improved, thereby effectively reducing material leakage or water dripping.

[0076] Of course, in some other embodiments, other components may be provided to fix the cage 111, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0077] According to some embodiments of this application, the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 is fixedly connected to the material support member 112.

[0078] It is understood that, in conjunction with the contents illustrated in the foregoing embodiments, since the material support 112 has a placement position on the support portion 131, it means that when the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 is fixedly connected to the material support 112, the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 and the support portion 131 of the seat 130 are flush.

[0079] In this way, by fixing the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 to the material support 112, the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 form a stable overall structure, which improves the reliability and stability of the equipment operation.

[0080] According to some embodiments of this application, the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 can be separated from each other.

[0081] This separable design allows for easy disassembly, repair, or replacement of individual components without requiring complete removal or replacement, thus reducing maintenance costs and downtime and improving the maintainability of the device. Furthermore, when the material support 112 is placed on the support section 131, the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 can be separated from the material support 112, which also facilitates placing the material support 112 on the support section 131.

[0082] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and in conjunction with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the material handling apparatus 100 in some embodiments of this application from another perspective. Figure 3 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the material handling device 100 in some embodiments of this application from another perspective. The base 130 is provided with a first liquid receiving groove c1 surrounding the supporting portion 131, and the first liquid receiving groove c1 is connected to the receiving cavity Q. Wherein, Figure 1 and Figure 2 Different side views of the material handling device 100 Figure 3 This is a top-down view of the material handling unit 100. Figure 3 To better illustrate the first liquid receiving tank c1, some structures of the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the material support component 112 have been removed.

[0083] The first liquid receiving tank c1 is an open tank structure. The opening of the first liquid receiving tank c1 is set towards the cage body 111. The interior of the first liquid receiving tank c1 is connected to the receiving cavity Q through the opening of the first liquid receiving tank c1.

[0084] Since the supporting part 131 is used to support the material support 112, the first liquid receiving tank c1 can be regarded as being arranged around the material support 112. Since the first liquid receiving tank c1 is connected to the receiving cavity Q, the first liquid receiving tank c1 can receive the liquid flowing out of the receiving cavity Q.

[0085] For example, in conjunction with reference Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the material handling apparatus 100 in use from one viewpoint in some embodiments of this application. Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the material handling apparatus 100 in some embodiments of this application from another perspective, showing its usage status. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the material handling apparatus 100 in some embodiments of this application from another perspective, showing its usage status. Figure 6 To better illustrate the first liquid receiving tank c1, part of the pressure applying mechanism 120 has been removed. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The illustrated scenario shows a filter cloth containing material stacked in the receiving cavity Q by a folding mechanism. During the folding process, liquid may flow out of the filter cloth, which can be collected by the first liquid receiving tank c1. Figures 4 to 6 This illustration shows the situation where the first receiving tank c1 is collecting the flowing liquid. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The diagram roughly illustrates the flow of liquid to the first receiving tank c1, but is not limited to this. Of course, when the material support 112 is supported by the support part 131, the squeezed liquid can be received by the first receiving tank c1 when the pressure mechanism 120 applies pressure to the material supported by the material support 112.

[0086] Thus, by setting up the first liquid receiving tank c1, it is not only convenient to receive liquid, but also to centrally process the liquid.

[0087] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 6 The material support 112 and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity Q define a gap channel P. The orthographic projection of the gap channel P onto the reference plane is within the orthographic projection range of the first liquid receiving tank c1 onto the reference plane, which is a plane perpendicular to the first direction F1.

[0088] Because the projection of the gap channel P falls within the projection range of the liquid receiving tank, the liquid flowing out through the gap channel P can more easily flow into the first liquid receiving tank c1. This design is more compact and reasonable in terms of spatial layout, and can make full use of the space inside the seat 130, achieving liquid collection without increasing the structural size too much.

[0089] Of course, in some other embodiments, the orthographic projection of the gap channel P on the reference plane may partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the first liquid receiving tank c1 on the reference plane, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0090] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The base 130 has an installation channel A along the first direction F1 on the side facing the cage 111, and a second liquid receiving groove c2 arranged around the installation channel A. The second liquid receiving groove c2 and the installation channel A are independent of each other, and the second liquid receiving groove c2 is connected to the receiving cavity Q. The output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140 extends out of the base 130 via the installation channel A.

[0091] The mounting channel A opened along the first direction F1 on the side of the seat 130 facing the cage 111 provides an extension space for the output end 141 of the drive mechanism 140, so that the drive mechanism 140 can be connected with the material support 112, thereby transmitting the power generated by the drive mechanism 140 to the material support 112 to achieve the corresponding movement or operation.

[0092] The second liquid receiving tank c2, which is arranged around the installation channel A, is mainly used to collect liquids that may splash or flow towards the drive mechanism 140. The second liquid receiving tank c2 is an open tank structure with the opening facing the cage 111. The interior of the second liquid receiving tank c2 is connected to the receiving cavity Q through the opening of the second liquid receiving tank c2.

[0093] For example, with Figures 4 to 6 For example, this illustrates the situation where splashed liquid is collected at the second receiving tank c2. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The image roughly illustrates the situation where liquid splashes onto the second receiving tank c2, but it is not limited to this.

[0094] Thus, by setting up the second liquid receiving tank c2, not only can the liquid flowing to the drive mechanism 140 be intercepted, thereby protecting the drive mechanism 140 and improving the reliability and stability of the device, but also the splashed liquid can be collected and centrally processed, making it easier to manage the liquid.

[0095] It should be noted that by setting up the first liquid receiving tank c1 and the second liquid receiving tank c2, not only can the liquid flow out more smoothly for collection and treatment, but it also provides design space for the drive mechanism 140 located on the bottom side of the material support 112. (Refer to reference...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Since the second liquid receiving groove c2 is arranged approximately around the mounting channel A of the drive mechanism 140, the second liquid receiving groove c2 surrounding the mounting channel A is equivalent to adding an extra structure to the part where the drive mechanism 140 is installed, which can improve the strength and stability of this area. Furthermore, the presence of the second liquid receiving groove c2 also enhances the local stiffness of this area, thereby further improving the structural reliability of the drive mechanism 140.

[0096] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 130 is equipped with a drain pipe 30. The first liquid receiving tank c1 and the second liquid receiving tank c2 are both connected to the drain pipe 30. The outlet of the drain pipe 30 corresponds to the liquid storage structure 40.

[0097] In this way, the liquid in the first liquid receiving tank c1 and the second liquid receiving tank c2 can flow to the liquid storage structure 40 through the drain pipe 30, and the liquid is collected and centrally processed through the liquid storage structure 40.

[0098] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first liquid receiving tank c1 and the second liquid receiving tank c2 may also be connected to different collection structures, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0099] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 2 The pressure applying mechanism 120 is fixed to the base 130, and the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the material support 112 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction F1.

[0100] This layout makes the entire structure more compact. The base 130 provides stable support for the pressure applying mechanism 120, allowing the reaction force generated during the pressure application process to be effectively borne and balanced by the base 130, enhancing the overall structural stability and reducing swaying or displacement caused by pressure. With both the cage 111 and the pressure applying mechanism 120 fixed to the base 130, the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the cage 111 are in a relatively fixed state. When the pressure applying mechanism 120 applies pressure to the object inside the cage 111, the position is more accurate and stable, thereby improving the situation of pressure position deviation caused by the relative movement between the two, thus improving the consistency of each pressure application and improving the material processing effect.

[0101] Of course, in some other embodiments, the cage 111 may be fixed to the base 130, and the pressure applying mechanism 120 may be movable relative to the base 130; alternatively, the pressure applying mechanism 120 may be fixed to the base 130, and the base 130 may be movable relative to the cage 111. No specific limitations are made here. When both the cage 111 and the pressure applying mechanism 120 are fixed to the base 130, refer to... Figure 2 The cage 111 can be connected to the base 130 via a support frame 1301, and the cage 111 can be further fixedly connected to the support frame 1301 via fasteners (such as clamps 1302), without specific limitations. It can be understood that when both the cage 111 and the pressure applying mechanism 120 are fixed to the base 130, the relative positions of the cage 111 and the pressure applying mechanism 120 in the first direction F1 remain unchanged, which is beneficial to improving the operating efficiency and material handling effect of the pressure applying process.

[0102] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 130 is supported by the mounting structure 20. The base 130 is fixed relative to the mounting structure 20. The mounting structure 20 is provided with a clearance channel B for avoiding the pressure applying mechanism 120.

[0103] For example, the mounting structure 20 can be the ground or a mounting point on related equipment. The drive mechanism 140 can be a lifting cylinder. No specific limitations are made here.

[0104] In this way, part of the drive mechanism 140 can be located within the clearance channel B, which not only helps to increase the drive stroke of the drive mechanism 140 and facilitates the control of the movement of the material support 112 in the first direction F1, but also lowers the center of gravity of the overall device, making the overall device more reliable and stable. This is beneficial for further improving the material handling efficiency.

[0105] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 7 to 8 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the material handling apparatus 100 in some other embodiments of this application from one viewpoint. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the material handling apparatus 100 in other embodiments of this application from another perspective. The cage 111 has multiple receiving cavities Q arranged along the second direction F2. Material support members 112 are arranged corresponding to each receiving cavity Q. Multiple drive mechanisms 140 are provided, and at least one support portion 131 is provided. The drive mechanisms 140 and the support portion 131 are arranged along the second direction F2, and the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are perpendicular to each other. The base 130 is configured to be movable relative to the cage 111 along the second direction F2, allowing the material support members 112 to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the material support member 112 is coupled to the corresponding drive mechanism 140 and can move along the first direction F1 in response to the drive of the drive mechanism 140. In the second state, the material support member 112 is supported by the support portion 131.

[0106] The accommodating cavity Q can be two, three, five, or other numbers; no specific limitation is made here. Figure 7 For example, this illustrates the case where there are two accommodating cavities Q. It can be understood that in... Figure 7 From the perspective of [the location of the cavity Q], the position is indicated by a dashed line. Figure 8The diagram illustrates a situation where material is supported on the material support 112. The cage body 111 may include multiple sub-bodies 1111 arranged along the second direction F2. Each sub-bodies 1111 has a receiving cavity Q extending along the first direction F1, and adjacent sub-bodies 1111 are connected along the second direction F2. The cage body 111 may also be a one-piece structure, meaning that multiple receiving cavities Q are formed on the cage body 111. No specific limitations are imposed here. The cage body 111 may be fixedly mounted on the fixing member 201.

[0107] Since the seat 130 is located on the bottom side of the cage 111, that is, the seat 130 can move along the second direction F2 on the bottom side of the cage 111, thereby driving the drive mechanism 140 to move along the second direction F2, and the supporting part 131 also moves along the second direction F2. It can be understood that the supporting part 131 is the part of the seat 130 used to support the corresponding material support 112. Here, "corresponding material support 112" refers to the material support 112 that is positioned opposite to the supporting part 131 along the first direction F1 when the seat 130 stops moving. "The material support 112 is connected to the corresponding drive mechanism 140" means that the drive mechanism 140 and the material support 112 are not mechanically connected, and the drive mechanism 140 can support the material support 112. For example, the drive mechanism 140 can be a lifting cylinder.

[0108] "The drive mechanism 140 and the support portion 131 are arranged along the second direction F2" means that the drive mechanism 140 and the support portion 131 can be arranged alternately along the second direction F2, or they can be arranged in a partially alternating manner. No specific limitation is made here. A partially alternating arrangement means that along the second direction F2, there are two adjacent drive mechanisms 140 or two adjacent support portions 131. Figure 9 and Figure 10 For example, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram showing the cooperation between the drive mechanism 140, the support part 131, and the material support 112 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the cooperation of the drive mechanism 140, the support portion 131, and the material support member 112 in other embodiments of this application, showing the alternating arrangement of the drive mechanism 140 and the support portion 131 along the second direction F2. Figure 11 For example, Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the cooperation of the drive mechanism 140, the support portion 131, and the material support member 112 in some embodiments of this application, showing a configuration in which the drive mechanism 140 and the support portion 131 are not completely alternated along the second direction F2. In this configuration... Figures 9 to 11 The approximate position of the support component 112 is indicated by a dashed line.

[0109] As the seat 130 moves, the positions of the drive mechanism 140 and the support part 131 in the second direction F2 will change, so that the material support 112 can correspond to the drive mechanism 140 or the support part 131, thereby enabling the material support 112 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0110] By arranging the drive mechanism 140 and the support portion 131 along the second direction F2, the space of the seat 130 in the second direction F2 can be fully utilized, making the structure more compact. This layout can effectively combine the movement and support functions within a limited space, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization of the entire equipment. Since the state switching of the material support 112 can be achieved by moving the seat 130, the state of all material support 112s is more flexible, which is conducive to more flexible material handling. For example, in the first state, since the material support 112 is connected to the corresponding drive mechanism 140, the material transfer operation can be performed on the receiving cavity Q corresponding to the material support 112. In the second state, since the material support 112 is supported by the support portion 131, the material contained in the receiving cavity Q corresponding to the material support 112 can be pressurized.

[0111] It should be noted that the sum of the number of drive mechanisms 140 and bearing parts 131 can be less than, equal to, or greater than the number of material support parts 112. Figures 9 to 11 For example, the case where the sum of the number of drive mechanisms 140 and bearing parts 131 is greater than the number of material support parts 112 is illustrated.

[0112] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 7 , Figures 9 to 11 The drive mechanism 140 and the support part 131 are arranged alternately along the second direction F2. Among the two adjacent material support members 112 along the second direction F2, one material support member 112 is in a first state and the other material support member 112 is in a second state.

[0113] Since the two adjacent material support members 112 along the second direction F2 are in different states, not only can the material operation states corresponding to the two adjacent accommodating cavities Q along the second direction F2 be different, thereby further improving the material handling efficiency, but also making the overall structure more compact.

[0114] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 7 The pressure applying mechanism 120 is provided with at least one; the pressure applying mechanism 120 is configured to be movable relative to the cage 111, and the pressure applying mechanism 120 has a pressing position opposite to the material support member 112.

[0115] The pressure applying mechanism 120 is in the pressing position, and the pressure applying mechanism 120 is used to apply pressure to the material-bearing member 112 along the first direction F1. For example, the pressure applying mechanism 120 includes a pressure applying part 121 and a drive structure 122 for driving the pressure applying part 121 to move along the first direction F1. The drive structure 122 includes, but is not limited to, components such as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0116] When the pressure mechanism 120 is configured to move relative to the cage 111, after the filter cloth containing the material is stacked into the receiving cavity Q, both the cage 111 and the filter cloth are in a fixed state. By moving the pressure mechanism 120, the pressure mechanism 120 is moved to a pressing position that is aligned with the receiving cavity Q along the first direction F1. This can improve the problems of back-and-forth pulling and suspension of the filter cloth when it moves, and thus effectively reduce material leakage or water dripping.

[0117] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 7 to 8 and in conjunction with reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the seat 130 connected in some embodiments of this application, viewed from one perspective. Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the seat 130 connected in some embodiments of this application from another perspective. Figure 13 The perspective shown is Figure 12 The diagram shows a side view from the perspective of the outside, where the pressure applying mechanism 120 is connected to the base 130. All pressure applying mechanisms 120 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with all bearing parts 131, and the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the corresponding bearing part 131 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction F1.

[0118] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The pressure applying mechanism 120 can be connected to the base 130 via the support frame 1301.

[0119] For example, with Figure 7For example, two sub-bodies 1111 are provided, arranged side-by-side along the second direction F2. Two drive mechanisms 140 are provided, one support part 131 is provided, and one pressure applying mechanism 120 is provided. When the base 130 drives the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the support part 131 to align with one of the sub-bodies 1111 along the first direction F1, the other sub-bodies 1111 are offset from the pressure applying mechanism 120 along the first direction F1, and the other sub-bodies 1111 are aligned with their corresponding drive mechanism 140 along the first direction F1. In this way, the two sub-bodies 1111 can work synchronously. When one sub-bodies 1111 is applying pressure, the other sub-bodies 1111 can transfer materials, resulting in high work efficiency. Furthermore, sharing the same pressure applying mechanism 120 simplifies the structure and reduces costs. Of course, there can be two, three, or other quantities of pressure applying mechanisms 120 and support parts 131; no specific limitation is made here.

[0120] By connecting the pressure applying mechanism 120 and the base 130, not only can the pressure applying mechanism 120 move in the second direction F2, but the structure of the overall device can also be simplified.

[0121] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 7 and in conjunction with reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 14 This is a structural schematic diagram of the material handling apparatus 100 in other embodiments of this application from another perspective. Figure 15 for Figure 14 A structural diagram with some parts removed. Figure 14 The perspective is Figure 7 The overhead view shown is as follows. Figure 15 The cage 111 has been removed. The material handling device 100 also includes a liquid receiving mechanism 150. The liquid receiving mechanism 150 is connected to the base 130 and is located on the bottom side of the cage 111. The liquid receiving mechanism 150 is used to receive liquid flowing out of the cage 111.

[0122] For example, the liquid may be the liquid generated during the stacking and compression of the filter cloth. The liquid receiving mechanism 150 includes, but is not limited to, a liquid receiving tray or a liquid receiving container, etc.

[0123] Thus, by setting up the liquid receiving mechanism 150, the collection and treatment of liquids are facilitated.

[0124] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 7 to 8 , Figures 12 to 15The liquid receiving mechanism 150 is equipped with a drain pipe 30, and the base 130 is supported on the mounting structure 20. The mounting structure 20 is equipped with a liquid storage tank 21 and a guide channel 22 communicating with the liquid storage tank 21. The guide channel 22 extends along the second direction F2. The drain pipe 30 and the guide channel 22 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction F1. When the base 130 is configured to move along the second direction F2, the drain pipe 30 moves along the second direction F2 when the base 130 drives the liquid receiving mechanism 150 to move. Since the drain pipe 30 and the guide channel 22 are opposite each other along the first direction F1 and the guide channel 22 extends along the second direction F2, the liquid collected by the liquid receiving mechanism 150 can be discharged through the drain pipe 30 to the guide channel 22, and then discharged from the guide channel 22 into the liquid storage tank 21 for collection and treatment. Of course, when the seat 130 is fixed, the liquid receiving mechanism 150 and the corresponding discharge method mentioned above can also be used, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0125] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figures 7 to 8 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The mounting structure 20 is provided with a clearance channel B, which is correspondingly set with the drive mechanism 140. The clearance channel B is used to avoid the drive mechanism 140.

[0126] For example, the mounting structure 20 can be the ground or a mounting part on related equipment, without specific limitations. The drive mechanism 140 can be a lifting cylinder. When the drive mechanism 140 moves along the second direction F2 under the drive of the base 130, the clearance channel B is configured to extend along the second direction F2.

[0127] In this way, part of the drive mechanism 140 can be located within the clearance channel B, which not only helps to increase the drive stroke of the drive mechanism 140 and facilitates the control of the movement of the material support 112 in the first direction F1, but also lowers the center of gravity of the overall device, making the overall device more reliable and stable. This is beneficial for further improving the material handling efficiency.

[0128] It should be noted that, in conjunction with reference Figures 7 to 8 In some of the scenarios illustrated above, the fastener 201 can be fixed to the mounting structure 20, and the cage 111 is fixedly connected to the fastener 201. Of course, the fastener 201 may not be fixed to the mounting structure 20, as long as the cage 111 is relatively fixed to the mounting structure 20, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0129] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15The material handling device 100 also includes a push-pull mechanism 160, which is connected to the seat 130 and is used to drive the seat 130 to move along the second direction F2.

[0130] For example, the push-pull mechanism 160 includes, but is not limited to, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, a motor screw, a hydraulic cylinder or other power mechanism.

[0131] For example, the seat 130 may be slidably mounted on the mounting structure 20 or rollably mounted on the mounting structure 20, without specific limitation. For instance, the mounting structure 20 may have a slide rail 202, and the seat 130 may have a slider 1303 slidably mounted on the slide rail 202. The slider 1303 may include, but is not limited to, a pulley or a slider, etc.

[0132] Thus, by setting up the push-pull mechanism 160, the seat 130 can be driven to move along the second direction F2.

[0133] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the hanging part 171, the cage body 111 and the material support 112 in some embodiments of this application. The material handling device 100 also includes a hanging mechanism. The hanging mechanism is connected to the cage body 111 and includes a hanging part 171 that extends into the receiving cavity Q. The hanging part 171 is used to support or release the material support 112.

[0134] Referring to the foregoing embodiments, the support 171 can support or release the material support 112 according to the cooperation state between the drive mechanism 140, the bearing part 131, and the material support 112, thereby switching between corresponding operations in different accommodating cavities Q. That is, when the seat 130 moves along the second direction F2, the support can be used to switch the state of the material support 112. It can be understood that the support mechanism and the accommodating cavity Q are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and when there are multiple accommodating cavities Q, there are also multiple support mechanisms.

[0135] For example, in actual operation, as the drive mechanism 140 lowers the material support 112, the material on the material support 112 gradually accumulates, and the material support 112 supported by the drive mechanism 140 moves to the bottom of the cage 111. The hanging part 171 extends into the receiving cavity Q, supporting the material support 112. After the hanging part 171 supports the material support 112, the drive mechanism 140 can continue to move downwards and separate from the material support 112 until it is completely removed from the outside of the cage 111. Before applying pressure to the material, the hanging part 171 of the hanging part can exit the receiving cavity Q to release the material support 112, so that the material support 112 will not transmit force to the cage 111 when the material is compressed. After the operation of applying pressure to the material is completed, the hanging part 171 of the hanging part extends into the inside of the receiving cavity Q, and the material support 112 can be supported by the hanging part 171. Figure 16 The illustrated scenario shows a situation where material is supported on the material support 112.

[0136] For example, the hanging mechanism also includes a telescopic power unit. The telescopic power unit can be mounted on the cage 111 or on a related fixed component. The telescopic power unit is connected to the hanging part 171, and allows the hanging part 171 to extend into the receiving cavity Q or retract outside the cage 111. The telescopic power unit includes, but is not limited to, various power structures such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, oil cylinders, and motor lead screws. The hanging part 171 includes, but is not limited to, hooks.

[0137] When the sum of the number of drive mechanisms 140 and the number of support parts 131 is less than or equal to the number of material support members 112, a hanging support can be used to assist in switching the state of the material support members 112. Of course, when the sum of the number of drive mechanisms 140 and the number of support parts 131 is greater than the number of material support members 112, a hanging support can be used to assist in switching the state of the material support members 112, or it can be done without using a hanging support. It can be understood that when the sum of the number of drive mechanisms 140 and the number of support parts 131 is greater than the number of material support members 112, the movement of the base 130 can also be controlled so that each material support member 112 can be supported by either the drive mechanism 140 or the support part 131. That is, when the material support member 112 switches between the first state and the second state, it can also be achieved by the drive mechanism 140 and the support part 131 supporting the material support member 112; no specific limitations are made here.

[0138] In this way, by setting up a mounting mechanism, we can more flexibly adapt to different operational needs, improve operational efficiency and operational stability.

[0139] Based on some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 and in conjunction with reference Figure 17 , Figure 17 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the material support 112 in some embodiments of this application. The supporting mechanism 110 also includes a stop 113. The stop 113 is located on the edge region of the corresponding side of the material support 112, which is the side of the material support 112 that is disposed towards the seat 130 along the first direction F1.

[0140] For example, the corresponding side of the material support 112 includes a central region and an edge region surrounding the central region. The stop 113 can be provided around the central region or on one side of the central region, without specific limitations.

[0141] Thus, by setting the stop 113, the risk of liquid splashing onto the drive mechanism 140 can be further reduced, thereby improving the overall reliability of the device.

[0142] It should be noted that the material handling device 100 may also include a controller. All the movable components shown above can be electrically connected to the controller. Thus, under the control of the controller, each component in the material handling device 100 works in coordination, achieving a high degree of automation and eliminating the need for manual operation.

[0143] According to some embodiments of this application, this application provides a material handling system, including the material handling device 100 and transfer mechanism 200 as described in any of the above embodiments. The transfer mechanism 200 is configured to arrange material in a receiving cavity Q and to remove material from the receiving cavity Q.

[0144] For example, the transfer mechanism 200 may include functional modules such as a fabric module, a fabric folding module, a fabric stacking module, a slag removal module, a fabric washing module, and a fabric placement module. Through the cooperation of these functional modules, different processes of material handling are realized. Since these functional modules are not the focus of this case, they will not be described in detail here.

[0145] For example, with Figure 4 and Figure 5 For example, the diagram illustrates the case where the transfer mechanism 200 folds and wraps a filter cloth containing material. When the pressure mechanism 120 and the base 130 are connected, the pressure part 121 can move along the first direction F1 to the avoidance position, so that the transfer mechanism 200 can perform its operation. In other illustrated cases, the transfer mechanism 200 can be understood to cooperate with the material handling device 100 to handle materials, which will not be described in detail here.

[0146] The material handling system also possesses the advantages of the material handling device 100 described above, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0147] The following description, in conjunction with the contents illustrated in some of the above embodiments, provides an exemplary account of the use of the material handling device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, but is not limited thereto.

[0148] For example, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Taking the pressing process of material wrapped in filter cloth as an example, firstly, through the cooperation of relevant modules in the transfer mechanism 200, the filter cloth is laid and folded, and the filter cloth wrapped with material is folded into the receiving cavity Q of the cage 111. As the number of stacked filter cloths increases, the material support 112 gradually descends under the support of the drive mechanism 140 until the material support 112 is supported by the seat 130, thus completing the laying. Subsequently, the pressure part 121 of the pressure mechanism 120 descends along the first direction F1 under the action of the drive structure 122 to press the filter cloth wrapped with material until the height of the stacked filter cloth is pressed to the required height. During the pressing process, referring to the reference Figures 4 to 6 The pressed liquid flows in the direction of the arrow shown in the diagram and flows out to the storage structure 40 through the first receiving tank c1, the second receiving tank c2, and the drain pipe 30. After pressing is completed, the pressing part 121 of the pressing mechanism 120 rises in the first direction F1 under the action of the drive structure 122. Under the traction of the relevant modules of the transfer mechanism 200, the filter cloth is retracted from the receiving cavity of the cage 111. As the filter cloth is removed, the material support 112 is gradually raised under the support of the drive mechanism 140 to facilitate the removal of the filter cloth and to facilitate the simultaneous cleaning of the filter cloth.

[0149] For example, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 12 to 15 , Figure 16Taking the pressing process of material wrapped in filter cloth as an example, when the cage 111 includes two sub-bodies 1111, there are two drive mechanisms 140 and one support part 131. The drive mechanisms 140 and the support part 131 are arranged alternately along the second direction F2. The material feeding operation is performed in the sub-bodies 1111 on the left side of the figure through the relevant modules of the transfer mechanism 200. As the number of stacked filter cloths increases, the material support 112 gradually descends under the support of the drive mechanism 140. When the feeding is almost completed, the material support 112 descends to the bottom of the sub-bodies and is supported by the hanging part 171 of the hanging mechanism. Under the action of the push-pull mechanism 160, the seat 130 drives the pressure application mechanism 120 and the drive mechanism 140 to move along the second direction F2. The pressing mechanism 120 moves to the pressing position corresponding to the sub-body 1111 on the left side of the figure. At this time, the supporting part 131 of the seat 130 is located on the bottom side of the sub-body 1111 on the left side of the figure. The material support 112 is placed on the supporting part 131 of the seat 130 by the hanging part 171 of the hanging mechanism. Subsequently, the pressing part 121 of the pressing mechanism 120 descends along the first direction F1 under the action of the driving structure 122 to press the filter cloth wrapped with material until the height of the stacked filter cloth is pressed to the required height. During the pressing process, refer to the reference Figures 12 to 15 The liquid collected by the receiving mechanism 150 flows to the storage tank 21 via the drain pipe 30 and the guide channel 22. During this process, while the filter cloth is being laid in the sub-body 1111 on the left side of the diagram, the pressure applying part 121 of the pressure applying mechanism 120 can perform a pressing operation on the filter cloth contained in the sub-body 1111 on the right side of the diagram. While the pressure applying part 121 of the pressure applying mechanism 120 is pressing the filter cloth contained in the sub-body 1111 on the left side of the diagram, the sub-body 1111 on the right side of the diagram can also perform laying or unlaying operations. This improves operational efficiency.

[0150] It should be noted that, in the above process, in some cases, the position of the hanging part can be adjusted by using the telescopic power unit of the hanging mechanism illustrated in some of the aforementioned embodiments, thereby adjusting the height of the filter cloth. This provides space for the pressure applying mechanism 120 to move along the second direction F2, which is beneficial for material handling operations. Furthermore, the sub-body 1111 on the left and right sides of the above-mentioned figures are for descriptive purposes only and are not intended to limit the orientation or the order of operations.

[0151] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0152] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0153] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0154] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0155] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0156] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0157] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
