Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unloading technology, and more specifically, to an unloading mechanism for railway transportation. Background Technology
[0002] Existing railway transport unloading mechanisms have significant shortcomings in spatial material transfer. Traditional equipment typically employs a simple single-axis or dual-axis structure, which cannot achieve precise positioning and transfer of materials in three-dimensional space. This structure limits the working range of the device, especially when handling irregularly shaped or specially positioned goods, often requiring manual assistance or multiple adjustments to complete the loading and unloading operation.
[0003] The existing clamping components of railway transportation unloading mechanisms use outdated connection methods, mostly employing traditional bolt fixing or simple snap-fit structures. These connection methods have many drawbacks. First, the installation and disassembly process is cumbersome, usually requiring the use of special tools for multiple steps, which greatly extends the equipment preparation and maintenance time. In high-frequency railway transportation scenarios, this inefficient connection method seriously affects the overall operational efficiency.
[0004] Furthermore, traditional connection methods have poor adaptability, making it difficult to quickly change different types of clamping components to meet various cargo requirements. In railway transportation, a wide variety of goods need to be handled, from standard containers to irregularly shaped large equipment, and even special goods such as dangerous or fragile items, all requiring different types of clamping devices. Existing equipment cannot achieve rapid conversion of clamping components, severely limiting the application scope and work efficiency of unloading mechanisms. Utility Model Content

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a railway transportation unloading mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This utility model features a spatial transfer mechanism, which employs a three-dimensional structural design of a longitudinal frame, a lifting frame, and a transverse frame. Combined with vertical rails, horizontal rails, and lead screw components, it enables precise positioning and smooth movement of materials in three-dimensional space. This solves the problems of limited working range and low positioning accuracy of traditional unloading equipment, allowing the device to adapt to various complex working conditions and significantly improving unloading efficiency and accuracy.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5A railway transport unloading mechanism includes a base frame 1, a spatial transfer mechanism, a stabilizing clamping mechanism, and auxiliary mechanisms. The spatial transfer mechanism includes a longitudinal frame 2 and a lifting frame 3. The longitudinal frame 2 is mounted on the side of the base frame 1. The lifting frame 3 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal frame 2. A transverse sliding frame 4 is laterally slidably mounted on the lifting frame 3. An installation block 5 is mounted on the transverse sliding frame 4. A rotating component 6 is mounted on the installation block 5. A clamping component 7 is mounted on the rotating component 6. The stabilizing clamping mechanism includes a support tube 8 and a clamping rod 9. The support tube 8 is fixedly mounted on... Mounted on mounting block 5, support tube 8 is rotatably mounted with clamping tube 10, one end of clamping rod 9 is mounted on transverse frame 4, inner rotating ring 11 is mounted on inner wall of clamping tube 10, and a counter spring block 12 is slidably mounted at bottom end of inner rotating ring 11. Multiple sets of counter spring blocks 12 are provided. Rotating ring 13 is mounted on outer wall of clamping rod 9, and rotating ball block 14 is mounted at top end of rotating ring 13. Rotating ball block 14 passes through different counter spring blocks 12 in sequence, so that clamping rod 9 and clamping tube 10 are relatively stably connected.
[0031] In this embodiment, the spatial transfer mechanism achieves precise positioning in three-dimensional space through the coordinated action of the longitudinal frame 2, the lifting frame 3, and the transverse frame 4. First, the longitudinal frame 2 is fixed to the side of the base frame 1. The lifting frame 3 slides vertically on the longitudinal frame 2 via the vertical rail 20 to achieve height adjustment. At the same time, the longitudinal screw assembly 22 provides precise lifting drive. Next, the transverse frame 4 slides horizontally on the transverse rail 21 on the lifting frame 3, controlled by the transverse screw assembly 23 to achieve lateral position adjustment. The mounting block 5 installed on the transverse frame 4 supports the rotating assembly 6. The clamping assembly 7 on the rotating assembly 6 can be rotated to adjust the angle. Finally, the clamping mechanism composed of the bolt sleeve 24, the bolt plate 25, and the handle 26 firmly grips the material, ensuring stability. The fixed locking mechanism consists of a support tube 8 and a locking rod 9, which provides stability for the transfer process. The support tube 8 is fixed on the mounting block 5, and the locking tube 10 rotates at the upper limit of the support tube 8. When the locking rod 9 connected to the transverse frame 4 is inserted into the locking tube 10, the bottom of the inner rotating ring 11 on the inner wall of the locking tube 10 is provided with multiple sets of spring blocks 12. The rotating ball block 14 on the top of the rotating ring 13 on the outer wall of the locking rod 9 passes through the different spring blocks 12 in sequence to form a mechanical lock, so that the locking rod 9 and the locking tube 10 form a stable and flexible connection. It can bear the load and allow a large force to rotate when necessary, so that the rotating ball block 14 is disengaged from the spring blocks 12, thereby releasing the locking rod 9 from the locking tube 10.
[0032] The auxiliary mechanism includes a drive ring 15 and a tightening block 16. The drive ring 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the side wall of the clamping pipe 10. A connecting plate 17 is installed at the bottom end of the side wall of the support pipe 8. Multiple sets of tightening blocks 16 are slidably installed at the top end of the connecting plate 17. A tightening spring 18 is installed between adjacent tightening blocks 16. A rotating block 19 is installed at the bottom end of the drive ring 15. Multiple sets of rotating blocks 19 are provided. The rotating blocks 19 pass through the spaces between adjacent tightening blocks 16 in sequence, so that the drive ring 15 stably drives the clamping pipe 10 to rotate.
[0033] In this embodiment, the auxiliary mechanism enhances the operability and stability of the system by using a drive ring 15 and a tightening block 16. The drive ring 15 is fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the clamping tube 10, while multiple sets of tightening blocks 16 are installed on the connecting plate 17 at the bottom of the side wall of the support tube 8, which slides in a centripetal direction. A tightening spring 18 is provided between adjacent tightening blocks 16. Multiple sets of rotating blocks 19 at the bottom of the drive ring 15 pass through the gap between adjacent tightening blocks 16 in sequence. When the drive ring 15 is operated, the rotating blocks 19 interact with the tightening blocks 16, enabling the drive ring 15 to stably drive the clamping tube 10 to rotate. At the same time, the tightening spring 18 provides appropriate rebound force and limiting function to prevent excessive rotation.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-5 As a supplementary embodiment of a railway transportation unloading mechanism for a space transfer mechanism, a stabilizing clamping mechanism, and an auxiliary mechanism: A vertical rail 20 is installed on the longitudinal frame 2, a lifting frame 3 is longitudinally slidably arranged on the vertical rail 20, a horizontal rail 21 is installed on the lifting frame 3, and a transverse sliding frame 4 is laterally slidably arranged on the horizontal rail 21. A longitudinal screw assembly 22 and a transverse screw assembly 23 are respectively installed on the longitudinal frame 2 and the lifting frame 3, and the lifting frame 3 and the transverse sliding frame 4 are respectively installed on the longitudinal screw assembly 22 and the transverse screw assembly 23. A bolt sleeve 24 is installed at one end of the clamping assembly 7, a bolt rod plate 25 is installed inside the bolt sleeve 24, and a handle 26 is installed at one end of the bolt rod plate 25. The bolt rod plate 25 can press against the material. A limiting ring 27 is installed on the inner wall of the support tube 8. A push-out spring 28 is installed on the outer wall of the clamping rod 9, and one end of the push-out spring 28 can contact the bottom end of the limiting ring 27. A drive wheel assembly 29 and a universal wheel 30 are installed at the bottom end of the base frame 1.
[0035] More specifically, the device is moved to the designated position by the drive wheel assembly 29 and casters 30 at the bottom of the base frame 1. The lifting frame 3 is moved on the vertical rail 20 by the longitudinal screw assembly 22 to adjust the height. Then, the transverse screw assembly 23 controls the transverse frame 4 to move on the horizontal rail 21 to achieve precise planar positioning. The angle of the clamping assembly 7 is adjusted by the rotating assembly 6 to match the placement of the material. The clamping rod 9 is connected to the clamping tube 10. The rotating ball block 14 passes through the gap of the spring block 12 to form a stable connection. At the same time, the push-out spring 28 cooperates with the limiting ring 27 to prevent accidental detachment. By operating the driving ring 15, the rotation of the clamping tube 10 is precisely controlled by the cooperation of the rotating block 19 and the tightening block 16 to further adjust the clamping angle. The bolt plate 25 in the bolt sleeve 24 is adjusted. The handle 26 is rotated to press the bolt plate 25 against the material to achieve firm clamping. After clamping is completed, the entire system works together to safely transfer the material from one place to another, maintaining stability throughout the process.
[0036] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When the spatial transfer mechanism is required to operate, the spatial transfer mechanism achieves precise positioning in three-dimensional space through the coordinated action of the longitudinal frame 2, the lifting frame 3, and the transverse frame 4. First, the longitudinal frame 2 is fixed to the side of the base frame 1. The lifting frame 3 slides vertically on the longitudinal frame 2 via the vertical rail 20 to achieve height adjustment. At the same time, the longitudinal screw assembly 22 provides precise lifting drive. Next, the transverse frame 4 slides horizontally on the transverse rail 21 on the lifting frame 3, controlled by the transverse screw assembly 23 to achieve lateral position adjustment. The mounting block 5 installed on the transverse frame 4 supports the rotating assembly 6. The clamping assembly 7 on the rotating assembly 6 can be rotated to adjust the angle. Finally, the clamping mechanism composed of the bolt sleeve 24, the bolt plate 25, and the handle 26 firmly grips the material.
[0037] When the stable clamping mechanism is required to operate, it consists of a support tube 8 and a clamping rod 9, providing stability for the transfer process. The support tube 8 is fixed on the mounting block 5, and the clamping tube 10 rotates at its upper limit on the support tube 8. When the clamping rod 9 connected to the transverse frame 4 is inserted into the clamping tube 10, the bottom of the inner rotating ring 11 on the inner wall of the clamping tube 10 is provided with multiple sets of spring blocks 12. The rotating ball block 14 on the top of the rotating ring 13 on the outer wall of the clamping rod 9 passes through the different spring blocks 12 in sequence to form a mechanical lock, so that the clamping rod 9 and the clamping tube 10 form a stable and flexible connection. It can bear the load and allow a large force to rotate when necessary, so that the rotating ball block 14 disengages from the spring blocks 12, thereby releasing the clamping rod 9 from the clamping tube 10. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the clamping components and makes maintenance or repair easier.
[0038] When the auxiliary mechanism is required, it enhances the system's operability and stability by driving the ring 15 and tightening blocks 16. The ring 15 is fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the clamping tube 10, while multiple sets of tightening blocks 16 are installed on the connecting plate 17 at the bottom of the side wall of the support tube 8, which slides inward. A tightening spring 18 is provided between adjacent tightening blocks 16. Multiple sets of rotating blocks 19 at the bottom of the ring 15 pass through the gap between adjacent tightening blocks 16 in sequence. When the ring 15 is operated, the rotating blocks 19 interact with the tightening blocks 16, enabling the ring 15 to stably drive the clamping tube 10 to rotate. At the same time, the tightening spring 18 provides appropriate rebound force and limit function to prevent excessive rotation.
[0039] The device is moved to the designated position by the drive wheel assembly 29 and casters 30 at the bottom of the base frame 1. The lifting frame 3 is moved on the vertical rail 20 by the longitudinal screw assembly 22 to adjust the height. Then, the transverse screw assembly 23 controls the transverse frame 4 to move on the horizontal rail 21 to achieve precise planar positioning. The angle of the clamping assembly 7 is adjusted by the rotating assembly 6 to match the placement of the material. The locking rod 9 is connected to the locking tube 10. The rotating ball block 14 passes through the gap of the spring block 12 to form a stable connection. At the same time, the push-out spring 28 cooperates with the limiting ring 27 to prevent accidental detachment. By operating the drive ring 15, the rotation of the locking tube 10 is precisely controlled by the cooperation of the rotating block 19 and the tightening block 16 to further adjust the clamping angle. The bolt plate 25 in the bolt sleeve 24 is adjusted. The handle 26 is rotated to press the bolt plate 25 against the material to achieve a firm clamping. After clamping is completed, the entire system works together to safely transfer the material from one place to another, maintaining stability throughout the process.
