Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container transportation technology, specifically a convenient container transport vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Since hot chambers are enclosed spaces for handling special materials such as radioactive materials and nuclear waste, container transport vehicles are needed to transfer containers between different workstations and rooms to avoid the safety risks associated with direct manual handling of containers, thereby ensuring the continuity and safety of hot chamber operations.

[0003] Existing container transport vehicles mainly consist of a vehicle body and a running gear located at the bottom of the vehicle body. Two steel rails adapted to the running gear are fixed inside the heated compartment. In use, the operator places the container on the carrying surface of the transport vehicle using a special tool, and then controls the transport vehicle to travel along the steel rails, thereby transferring the container from the starting position to the target workstation.

[0004] However, existing container transport vehicles can only perform simple container transfer; they cannot effectively clamp and secure containers during transport, nor can they detect container weight or ensure containers are in a stable position. This makes containers prone to displacement or even tipping over during transport due to vehicle swaying, affecting transport safety and failing to meet the requirements for precise handling of containers and their internal materials in hot chamber operations. Therefore, we propose a convenient container transport vehicle to effectively address these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A convenient container transport vehicle includes a vehicle body 1, with two parallel steel rails fixed inside the heated chamber. The steel rails are adapted to the traveling components at the bottom of the vehicle body 1. The vehicle body 1 can move along the extension direction of the steel rails under the drive of the drive device to meet the needs of container transfer between different workstations and rooms.

[0033] This embodiment also includes a weighing support mechanism 2, an automated clamping mechanism 3, and a positioning detection module 4. Through the cooperation of the three, not only is the automation level and ease of operation of container transfer improved, but the requirements of the special environment of the hot chamber for operational safety and stability are also met.

[0034] The weighing support mechanism 2, mounted on the vehicle body 1, supports the container and detects its weight, providing data support for subsequent material metering and processing. The automated clamping mechanism 3, also mounted on the vehicle body 1, clamps and secures the container, avoiding radiation risks associated with manual handling. The positioning detection module 4 detects whether the container is properly clamped, ensuring it remains in a preset safe clamping position throughout transportation, effectively preventing safety hazards such as displacement and tipping due to loose clamping.

[0035] The following is a description of vehicle body 1:

[0036] The vehicle body 1 includes a frame 101, which provides basic support for other components. A weighing support mechanism 2, an automated clamping mechanism 3, and a positioning detection module 4 are all mounted on the frame 101. Two drive wheels 102 are mounted on one end of the frame 101 via wheel frames, and two driven wheels 103 are mounted on the other end of the frame 101 via wheel frames. Both the drive wheels 102 and the driven wheels 103 have annular grooves on their surfaces that conform to the shape of the rails. When the drive wheels 102 rotate, the grooves engage with the rails to move the frame 101 along the rails.

[0037] It should be added that the vehicle body 1 also includes a servo motor 104 mounted on the top of the frame 101. The output end of the servo motor 104 is connected to the two drive wheels 102 through the cooperation of a reducer and a commutator. When the servo motor 104 is working, the power is reduced and increased in torque by the reducer, and then the transmission direction is changed by the commutator. It is then transmitted to the two drive wheels 102, driving them to roll along the corresponding rails, thus realizing the movement of the vehicle body 1.

[0038] Furthermore, a wheel end anti-collision seat 105 is fixed at the end of each wheel frame away from the frame 101, and an elastic block 106 is detachably connected at the end of each wheel end anti-collision seat 105 away from the frame 101. The buffering effect of the elastic block 106 can effectively reduce the impact damage between the car body 1 and the end of the rail or other structures.

[0039] In addition, guide wheel assemblies are rotatably connected to the bottom of two of the wheel frames. Each guide wheel assembly consists of two guide wheels, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rail. Through rolling contact with the sides of the rail, the guide wheels guide and position the vehicle body 1 along the rail direction, preventing deviation during travel.

[0040] The following section introduces the symmetrical balancing support mechanism 2:

[0041] The weighing support mechanism 2 includes a support base 201 with a placement slot on its top, into which the bottom of a container can be placed. A base plate 202 is fixed to the top of the vehicle body 1, located directly below the support base 201. Several weighing sensors 203 are connected between the base plate 202 and the support base 201. One end of each weighing sensor 203 is fixed to the base plate 202, and the other end is connected to the support base 201. This provides stable support for the weight of the support base 201 and the container above it, and also converts the weight signal into an electrical signal in real time, enabling the detection of the weight of the container and its internal materials.

[0042] The following is an introduction to the automated clamping mechanism 3:

[0043] The automated clamping mechanism 3 includes two clamping blocks 301. Each clamping block 301 has a clamping groove on its side closest to the other, the curvature of which matches the sidewall of the container to improve clamping stability. The two clamping blocks 301 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides above the weighing support mechanism 2, enabling them to encircle and clamp the container. Electric push rods 302, corresponding to each clamping block 301, are installed on the vehicle body 1. These electric push rods 302 drive the corresponding clamping block 301 to move towards or away from the container, thereby clamping and securing the container.

[0044] It should be added that the bottom of the clamping block 301 is fixed with several sliders 303 at intervals, and the top of the vehicle body 1 is fixed with linear guide rails 304 that correspond one-to-one with each slider 303 and slide in cooperation. The extension direction of each linear guide rail 304 is parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the electric push rod 302, so as to ensure that the clamping block 301 moves along the linear guide rail 304 under the drive of the electric push rod 302, and avoids deviation affecting the clamping accuracy.

[0045] The following is a description of the arrival detection module 4:

[0046] The positioning detection module 4 includes a pressure sensor 401 and a proximity switch 402. The pressure sensor 401 is connected between the output end of the electric push rod 302 and the corresponding clamping block 301, and can monitor the driving force of the electric push rod 302 acting on the clamping block 301 in real time to determine whether the clamping force has reached a preset safety threshold. The proximity switch 402 is installed on the clamping surface of the clamping block 301 and can detect whether the clamping block 301 has moved to a preset clamping position by sensing changes in its position. Through the dual detection of clamping force and position, the reliability of positioning judgment is effectively improved, ensuring that the container remains in a stable clamping state during hot chamber transfer.

[0047] Working principle: In use, the container to be transferred is first lifted by the crane in the hot chamber to the top of the weighing support mechanism 2, and then the container is lowered so that its bottom is embedded in the placement groove on the top of the support base 201. At this time, several weighing sensors 203 between the base plate 202 and the support base 201 are activated by pressure, which detects the total weight of the container and the material inside in real time, and feeds the data back to the control system to complete the material metering record.

[0048] After the container is securely placed, the two electric push rods 302 extend synchronously, driving the clamping block 301 to move along the linear guide rail 304 toward the container. When the groove of the clamping block 301 fits against the side wall of the container, the pressure sensor 401 between the output end of the electric push rod 302 and the clamping block 301 monitors the clamping force. At the same time, the proximity switch 402 on the vehicle body 1 detects whether the clamping block has reached the preset position. After the dual signals confirm that the container has been securely clamped, the electric push rod 302 stops moving.

[0049] Finally, the servo motor 104 starts, and power is transmitted to the two drive wheels 102 via the reducer and commutator, driving the vehicle body 1 along the rail. During travel, the elastic blocks 106 on the wheel end anti-collision seats 105 can buffer any minor collisions that may occur. Upon reaching the target workstation, the servo motor 104 stops, and the automated clamping mechanism 3 reverses its movement to release the container, completing the entire transfer process.
