Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of logistics and warehousing equipment, and more precisely, to a tilting machine suitable for stacker crane columns. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) in the logistics and warehousing industry, the requirements for their efficiency and operational stability are also rising. Stacker cranes are the core equipment of AS / RS, belonging to specialized lifting and transport machinery. They primarily achieve horizontal and vertical movement through ground tracks and their own uprights, utilizing general-purpose forks and other devices to grasp, transport, and stack unitized goods. The stacker crane uprights are one of the core components of the stacker crane, typically constructed from square tubing, rectangular tubing, or welded steel plates. These uprights have large cross-sectional dimensions and are quite tall. Furthermore, as the scale of AS / RS continues to increase, the cross-sectional dimensions and length of the stacker crane uprights are constantly increasing to adapt to faster and higher operating conditions, further increasing the difficulty of manufacturing and processing the stacker cranes.

[0003] During the production process, stacker cranes need to flip the uprights. Currently, the flipping operation typically involves a sling and overhead crane working together. The upright is placed flat on the workbench, one end of the sling is fixed to the upright, and the other end is fixed to the crane's hook. The crane is then operated to pull the sling at an angle, causing the upright's cross-section to flip. However, this current method of tilting the upright with the crane has several drawbacks. Due to the large size and weight of the upright, when the center of gravity shifts from one side of the fulcrum to the other, uncontrollable impacts occur between the upright and the workbench, easily causing damage and deformation to the upright. This is also very dangerous for workers and results in low work efficiency.

[0004] In summary, there is a need in this field for a technical solution that can eliminate uncontrollable impacts during the overturning of stacker crane columns, thereby avoiding column damage and improving production safety and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tilting machine suitable for stacker crane columns, which adopts a combination of a crossbeam and a chain drive device, and drives a sling to lift the column and tilt it, so as to controllably absorb the impact force of the column rotation, avoid damage to the column, and improve production safety and efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a tilting machine suitable for stacker crane columns, including a supporting beam, a control cabinet mounted on the supporting beam, a set of drive components mounted on the supporting beam, and slings respectively connected to the drive components. The control cabinet is electrically connected to the drive components. The slings are wound around the stacker crane column. The supporting beam is lifted by a crane, causing the stacker crane column to suspend in the air. The slings are driven by the drive components to rotate the stacker crane column. After the stacker crane column is tilted, the crane drives the supporting beam to descend, placing the tilted stacker crane column on the worktable.

[0007] Preferably, the load-bearing crossbeam includes a crossbeam and legs respectively installed at the bottom of both ends of the crossbeam, and the drive assembly is installed on the crossbeam.

When the drive assembly drives the drive chain to move, it drives the sling to move, thereby driving the stacker crane column to flip.

[0010] Preferably, the support assembly includes a lower support bracket, an adapter bracket, and an upper support bracket, wherein the lower support bracket is installed in conjunction with the upper support bracket via the adapter bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor, a drive wheel, a drive shaft, and a bearing with a mounting seat.

Furthermore, the installation position of the drive components of the tilting machine for stacker crane columns can be adaptively adjusted according to stacker crane columns of varying sizes, making it more versatile.
