Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material pouring, specifically to a material pourer suitable for barrels and a forklift material pouring device including the same. Background Technology
[0002] Hazardous waste is solid waste possessing one or more of the hazardous characteristics of corrosivity, toxicity, flammability, and reactivity. The HJ2015-2012 "Technical Specifications for Collection, Storage and Transportation of Hazardous Waste" clearly stipulates that the packaging form for hazardous waste should be determined based on its type, quantity, hazardous characteristics, physical form, and transportation requirements. A key requirement is that the packaging material must be compatible with the hazardous waste. Currently, most liquid and semi-solid hazardous waste is packaged in 200L iron or plastic drums.
[0003] When disposing of hazardous waste, drummed hazardous waste must be poured into a designated storage pit or tank. Currently, most companies use forklifts to lift the drummed hazardous waste, then secure the drum with a clamping device. Operators then control the forklift to invert the drum, allowing the hazardous waste inside to flow naturally into the designated storage pit or tank. After pouring, the drum is placed back on the ground, awaiting further processing or recycling.
[0004] However, if the operation is not done correctly when using a forklift to hold drums of materials, the drum may not be securely fixed. For example, if the forklift forks do not make stable contact with the drum, or if the holding device is loose, the drum may slip during the tipping process. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dumper suitable for barrels and a forklift dumping device including the same. The dumping device achieves the purpose of dumping waste by rotating the barrel, and the device body is equipped with a stop bar to block the barrel, thereby preventing the barrel from slipping during dumping.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pouring device suitable for barrels, including a device body, a barrel placement position, a driving component, and a connecting structure for driving the barrel placement position to rotate. The barrel placement position is connected to the device body through the connecting structure, and the driving component is driven to connect to the connecting structure.
[0007] The barrel placement position includes two working positions: placement position and tilting position. The drive unit drives the barrel placement position to switch between the two working positions.
[0008] The barrel placement position matches the shape of the barrel. A stop bar is provided at the front end of the barrel placement position. The stop bar is located at the top of the barrel and is used to limit the barrel's movement.
[0009] The device body has a feed inlet corresponding to the barrel placement position.
[0010] Preferably, the barrel placement position includes a bottom plate that supports the bottom of the barrel and a side plate that supports the side wall of the barrel. The stop bar is connected to the upper end of the side plate, and the side plate is positioned opposite to the feed inlet.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting structure is connected to the side plate and includes a driving rod and a driven rod. The driving member is rotatably connected to the driving rod, and the driving member drives the driving rod to rotate.
[0012] The two ends of the drive rod are rotatably connected to the device body and the side plate, respectively. The two ends of the driven rod are rotatably connected to the device body and the side plate, respectively. The connection position of the driven rod to the device body is higher than that of the drive rod to the device body, and the connection position of the driven rod to the side plate is closer to the stop bar than that of the drive rod to the side plate.
[0013] Preferably, the driving rod and the driven rod move in different planes.
[0014] Preferably, the driving component is configured as a telescopic structure, with its two ends rotatably connected to the device body and the driving rod, respectively.
[0015] Preferably, the side plate is configured as an arc surface that matches the side wall of the barrel.
[0016] Preferably, the side plate and the bottom plate are provided with a gap in the height direction.
[0017] This utility model also provides a forklift unloading device including the aforementioned unloader suitable for barrels. The forklift unloading device also includes a pallet fixedly connected to the device body, and the pallet is provided with fork tooth positions that cooperate with the fork teeth.
[0018] Preferably, the opening of the fork tooth position and the feed inlet are located on the same side of the device body.
[0019] According to the above technical solution, the barrel of this utility model can be placed into the barrel placement position through the feed inlet, and the barrel placement position supports the barrel. After the barrel is placed, the driving component is activated, driving the connecting structure to rotate the barrel placement position. As the barrel placement position rotates, the material inside the barrel is poured out.
[0020] The barrel placement position includes two working positions: the insertion position and the tilting position. When the barrel placement position is in the insertion position, the operator can put the barrel into the barrel placement position through the feed port. At this time, the barrel is in a vertical or nearly vertical state. Then, the drive unit continuously pushes the barrel placement position to rotate until the barrel placement position rotates to the tilting position. At this time, the barrel is in a horizontal or nearly horizontal state.
[0021] In one embodiment, the feeder suitable for the barrel can be fixed to the edge of the storage pit or tank. After the operator places the barrel in the barrel placement position, the drive unit can be activated to rotate the barrel placement position, thereby pouring the material in the barrel into the storage pit or tank.
[0022] Because a stop bar is provided at the front end of the barrel placement position, when the drive unit is activated, the stop bar cooperates with the barrel placement position to limit the barrel, so that the barrel will not slip off the barrel placement position during the pouring process.
[0023] When the barrel is in the placement position, it is in a nearly vertical state, allowing the operator to easily place the barrel into the placement position through the feed inlet. Preferably, to ensure the stability of the barrel in the placement position, the placement position can be set to be slightly tilted, so that the barrel tilts away from the feed inlet. Therefore, the placement position can reliably support the barrel, preventing it from tipping over when the feeder vibrates or other situations occur.
[0024] When the barrel is placed in the tilting position, it is in a nearly horizontal state. Preferably, when the barrel is placed in the tilting position, the upper end of the barrel is slightly lower than the lower end of the barrel, so that the material inside the barrel can be reliably poured out. Under the action of the stop bar, the barrel will not tip over when it is in this slightly tilted state.
[0025] Therefore, when using a suitable pourer to tilt the barrel, the stability of the barrel's position within the pourer can be guaranteed. Moreover, during the tilting process, the device body remains in a fixed position, and the connecting structure only pushes the barrel's placement position to rotate, thereby achieving the barrel's flipping and completing the tilting of the liquid inside the barrel.
[0026] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0041] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "front end," "upper end," "near," "bottom," "lower," "higher," and "relative" contained in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its normal use state, or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the terminology.
[0042] See Figure 1 The aforementioned pourer for barrels includes a device body 1, a barrel placement position, a driving component 2, and a connecting structure for driving the barrel placement position to rotate. The barrel placement position is connected to the device body 1 through the connecting structure, and the driving component 2 is driven to connect to the connecting structure.
[0043] The barrel placement position includes two working positions: placement position and tilting position. The drive unit 2 drives the barrel placement position to switch between the two working positions.
[0044] The barrel placement position matches the shape of the barrel. A stop bar 4 is provided at the front end of the barrel placement position. The stop bar 4 is located at the top of the barrel and is used to limit the barrel.
[0045] The main body of the device 1 is provided with a feed inlet 6 corresponding to the barrel placement position.
[0046] Through the implementation of the above technical solution, the barrel can be placed into the barrel placement position through the feed port 6, and the barrel placement position supports the barrel. After the barrel is placed, the drive component 2 is activated, driving the connecting structure to rotate the barrel placement position. As the barrel placement position rotates, the material inside the barrel is poured out.
[0047] The barrel placement position includes two working positions: the placement position and the tilting position. When the barrel placement position is in the placement position, the operator can put the barrel into the barrel placement position through the feed port 6. At this time, the barrel is in a vertical or nearly vertical state. Then, the drive unit 2 continuously pushes the barrel placement position to rotate until the barrel placement position rotates to the tilting position. At this time, the barrel is in a horizontal or nearly horizontal state.
[0048] In one embodiment, the pourer suitable for the barrel can be fixed to the edge of the storage pit or tank. After the operator places the barrel in the barrel placement position, the drive unit 2 can be activated to rotate the barrel placement position, thereby pouring the material in the barrel into the storage pit or tank.
[0049] Because a stop bar 4 is provided at the front end of the barrel placement position, when the drive unit 2 is activated, the stop bar 4 cooperates with the barrel placement position to limit the barrel, so that the barrel will not slip off the barrel placement position during the pouring process.
[0050] When the barrel is in the placement position, it is in a nearly vertical state, allowing the operator to easily place the barrel into the placement position through the feed inlet 6. Preferably, to ensure the stability of the barrel in the placement position, the placement position can be set to be slightly tilted, so that the barrel tilts away from the feed inlet 6. Therefore, the placement position can reliably support the barrel, preventing the barrel from tipping over when the feeder vibrates or other situations occur.
[0051] When the barrel is in the tilting position, it is in a nearly horizontal state. Preferably, when the barrel is in the tilting position, the upper end of the barrel is slightly lower than the lower end of the barrel, so that the material inside the barrel can be reliably poured out. Under the action of the stop lever 4, the barrel will not tip over when it is in this slightly tilted state.
[0052] Therefore, when using a pourer suitable for the barrel to pour the liquid into the barrel, the stability of the barrel's position within the pourer can be guaranteed. Moreover, during the pouring process, the main body 1 of the device is fixed in position, and the connecting structure only pushes the barrel placement position to rotate, thereby realizing the barrel's flipping and completing the pouring of the liquid inside the barrel.
[0053] In this embodiment, preferably, the barrel placement position includes a bottom plate 51 that supports the bottom of the barrel and a side plate 52 that supports the side wall of the barrel. The stop bar 4 is connected to the upper end of the side plate 52, and the side plate 52 is positioned opposite to the feed inlet 6.
[0054] When the barrel is in the placement position, the operator can directly place the barrel into the barrel placement position through the feed port 6. The bottom of the barrel is in contact with the bottom plate 51, and the side wall of the barrel is against the side plate 52. The bottom plate 51 and the side plate 52 together form a semi-enclosed structure to support and limit the barrel, so that the barrel can maintain a relatively stable positional relationship with the barrel placement position under its own weight.
[0055] In this embodiment, preferably, the connecting structure is connected to the side plate 52, including a drive rod 31 and a driven rod 32, and the drive member 2 is rotatably connected to the drive rod 31, and the drive member 2 drives the drive rod 31 to rotate.
[0056] The two ends of the drive rod 31 are rotatably connected to the device body 1 and the side plate 52, respectively. The two ends of the driven rod 32 are rotatably connected to the device body 1 and the side plate 52, respectively. The connection position of the driven rod 32 to the device body 1 is higher than the connection position of the drive rod 31 to the device body 1. The connection position of the driven rod 32 to the side plate 52 is closer to the stop lever 4 than the connection position of the drive rod 31 to the side plate 52.
[0057] See Figure 4 The diagram shows the motion principle of the connection structure. A represents the height of the connection between the driven rod 32 and the device body, B represents the rotational connection point between the driven rod 32 and the device body, C represents the rotational connection point between the driven rod 32 and the barrel placement position, D represents the rotational connection point between the drive rod 31 and the barrel placement position, E represents the connection height between the drive rod 31 and the device body, and the position states of CD represent the position states of the side plate 52.
[0058] During the movement of the connecting structure, the positions of points A, B, and E will not change, only the positions of C and D will change. C will rotate around point B with B as the center and BC as the radius, and the distance between C and D will remain unchanged.
[0059] Combined with appendix Figure 4 As can be seen, the shape formed by BCDE changes during the movement of the connecting structure. When the connecting structure is at the position of BC'D'E, C'D' is in a vertical state, indicating that the side plate 52 is in a vertical position, that is, the barrel placement position is in a vertical state; when C and D move to C” and D”, BC”D”E forms a quadrilateral, which is the middle position during the movement of the barrel placement position. At this time, C”D” is in an inclined state, and the upper end of the barrel is higher than the lower end of the barrel. Therefore, during the rotation of the barrel placement position, the material inside the barrel cannot be poured out; when the connecting structure is at the position of BCDE in the figure, CD is in a horizontal state, indicating that the side plate 52 is in a horizontal position, that is, the barrel placement position is in a tilting position, at which time the material inside the barrel begins to tilt outward.
[0060] Therefore, by driving the drive rod 31 to rotate through the drive component 2, the driven rod 32 can be driven to rotate, so that the connecting structure can push the barrel placement position to rotate, realizing the position switching from the placement position to the tilting position.
[0061] Combined with appendix Figure 4 As can be seen, during the transition from the placement position to the tilting position, the height of the barrel placement position gradually increases. This allows the operator to place the barrel into the placement position from a lower position. Simultaneously, as the barrel tilts, its height also gradually increases, reliably preventing interference with lower fixtures or other fixed positions during tilting. Furthermore, as the barrel placement position rotates, the lower end of the barrel gradually rises, while the upper end gradually lowers. Simultaneously, the entire placement position moves away from the feed inlet 6, allowing the discharge device suitable for the barrel to be positioned further away from the storage pit or tank. During the rotation of the placement position, the barrel is pushed closer to the storage pit or tank, ultimately allowing the barrel to pour the material into the storage pit or tank.
[0062] The connection position of the driven rod 32 to the device body 1 is higher than that of the driving rod 31 to the device body 1. The connection position of the driven rod 32 to the side plate 52 is closer to the stop lever 4 than that of the driving rod 31 to the side plate 52. This ensures that during the rotation of the connecting structure, the driving rod 31 is located below the driven rod 32. The driving rod 31 drives the lower part of the bucket placement position, and the rotation of the driving rod 31 raises and lowers the position of the bucket placement position. Meanwhile, the driven rod 32, located above, achieves the tilting angle of the side plate 52 through its linkage with the driving rod 31. When the drive rod 31 moves downward, the driven rod 32 also moves towards the feed inlet 6. As the barrel descends, the drive rod 31 pulls the lower part of the side plate 52 downward and inward, while the driven rod 32 gradually pulls the upper part of the side plate 52 towards the feed inlet 6, making the side plate 52 gradually approach a vertical position. When the barrel rises, the drive rod 31 pushes the lower part of the side plate 52 upward and outward, while the driven rod 32 pushes the upper part of the side plate 52 away from the feed inlet 6, making the side plate 52 gradually approach a horizontal position.
[0063] In this embodiment, preferably, the driving rod 31 and the driven rod 32 move in different planes.
[0064] like Figure 4It can be seen that when the bucket is placed in the insertion position or the tilting position, the drive rod 31 and the driven rod 32 will be on the same straight line. If the drive rod 31 and the driven rod 32 are in the same plane, the drive rod 31 and the driven rod 32 will interfere with each other. Therefore, in order to ensure that the bucket can reach the horizontal or vertical position, the drive rod 31 and the driven rod 32 need to be set to move in different planes.
[0065] In one embodiment, the drive rod 31 is connected to the device body 1 via a first connector 33, and the driven rod 32 is connected to the device body 1 via a second connector 34. The first connector 33 and the second connector 34 are located in the same plane, while the drive rod 31 and the driven rod 32 are located on opposite sides of the same plane. This method reliably achieves the opposite orientation of the drive rod 31 and the driven rod 32. Furthermore, this method ensures that the planes containing the drive rod 31 and the driven rod 32 are parallel to each other, preventing interference between them during movement.
[0066] Preferably, the drive rod 31 is disposed in the plane close to the side plate 52, so that the drive rod 31 and the side plate 52 are close to each other. Under the condition that the force remains unchanged, the torque on the connecting shaft between the two is smaller, so the force on the connecting shaft is better, which can extend the service life of the feeder suitable for the barrel.
[0067] In this embodiment, preferably, the driving component 2 is configured as a telescopic structure, and the two ends of the driving component 2 are rotatably connected to the device body 1 and the driving rod 31, respectively.
[0068] The drive component 2 is configured as a telescopic structure, and the drive rod 31 can be rotated by the extension and retraction of the drive component 2.
[0069] In this embodiment, preferably, the side plate 52 is configured as an arc surface that matches the side wall of the barrel.
[0070] The side plate 52 is designed as an arc surface that matches the side wall of the barrel, which can provide better support for the barrel and thus ensure the support effect of the barrel placement position.
[0071] In this embodiment, preferably, the side plate 52 and the bottom plate 51 are provided with a barrel gap 8 in the height direction.
[0072] A gap 8 is provided between the side plate 52 and the bottom plate 51 in the height direction, which makes it difficult for garbage to accumulate in the bin placement position. Materials or other substances during use can flow out through the gap 8 during the rotation of the bin placement position, so that the bin can better fit with the bin placement position after it is placed.
[0073] See Figure 2-3The forklift unloading device further includes a tray 7 fixedly connected to the device body 1, and the tray 7 is provided with fork tooth positions 71 that cooperate with the fork teeth.
[0074] By setting pallet 7, the forklift can directly lift the forklift's unloading device to achieve the tilting operation.
[0075] The forklift can first lift the barrel and place it into the barrel placement position through the feed port. Then, the forklift can lift the forklift tipping device, move the forklift to the destination, and start the drive unit 2 to achieve the automatic tipping function.
[0076] The forklift unloading device uses a dumper suitable for barrels, allowing the forklift to complete the unloading operation without having to move to the edge of the storage pit or tank, or with the barrel not having to be on the edge of the forklift forks, thus ensuring the safety of forklift operation and the reliability of unloading.
[0077] In this embodiment, preferably, the opening of the fork tooth position 71 and the feed port 6 are located on the same side of the device body 1.
[0078] When the barrel is in the tilting position, the upper part of the barrel is on the side away from the feed inlet 6. Therefore, the forklift needs to lift the forklift dumping device from the side closer to the feed inlet 6 so that the forklift will not affect the operation of the forklift dumping device during the subsequent tilting operation.
[0079] Specifically, the forklift places the bucket into the bucket placement position through the feed port 6. Then, the forklift retracts and inserts its forks into the fork position 71, lifting the entire bucket from the forklift's unloading device. During this process, the forklift does not need to adjust its angle back and forth; it only needs to move backward and then forward to complete the operation. Finally, after moving the forklift to the appropriate position, the drive unit 2 can be activated to begin the unloading operation, which is very convenient.
[0080] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0081] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
[0082] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
