Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kiln machinery and equipment technology, specifically to an automatic lifting and positioning mechanism for loading and unloading kiln cars. Background Technology
[0002] Kiln loading and unloading vehicles are specialized equipment used for the automated loading and unloading of materials (such as ceramics, bricks, tiles, and metallurgical products) during kiln production. They are primarily used to feed unfired blanks into the kiln (loading) or to remove fired products from the kiln (unloading). Their core function is to replace manual operation, achieving efficient, precise, and safe material transfer in high-temperature, high-dust environments, and are an important component of automated kiln production lines.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221764208U discloses a kiln loading and unloading vehicle, which includes: "raising the support rod of the auxiliary trailer (left) to the same height as the support rod of the main trailer (right); tying the pull rope on the right side to the end of the crossbeam; pushing the two crossbeams into the kiln from the right side and out of the kiln, so that the two ends of the crossbeams are supported by the support rods; untying the pull rope; passing the end of the pull rope through the pull hole and tying it to the pull rod; placing the pull rod on the upper end of the two crossbeams, with the positioning plate attached to the side wall of the crossbeam; and starting the vehicle simultaneously." The hydraulic cylinders of the auxiliary trolley (left) and the main trolley (right) raise the support rod to lift the kiln furniture. The winch on the right is started to wind the pull rope. The pull rope pulls the pull rod to move along the crossbeam. The pull rod is at the bottom end of the kiln furniture. At this time, the pull rod and the winch are located on both sides of the kiln furniture. The pull rope pulls the kiln furniture slowly out of the kiln along the crossbeam through the pull rod. The kiln furniture is then removed from the crossbeam by a forklift. However, the loading and unloading mechanism of this device is complicated, and the kiln car may shake when getting on and off, which is not conducive to the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The automatic lifting and positioning mechanism for loading and unloading kiln cars includes a base 1, a lifting assembly 2 movably connected to the top of the base 1, a platform 3 movably connected to the top of the lifting assembly 2, the platform 3 having an internal hollow cavity structure, a positioning assembly 4 installed inside the platform 3, a clamping assembly 5 installed inside the platform 3, a hydraulic control mechanism 6 on one side of the top of the platform 3, railings 7 symmetrically distributed on the top of the platform 3, a slide rail 8 on one side of the outside of the platform 3, a positioning hole 9 on one side of the outside of the positioning assembly 4, and self-locking casters 10 installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1.
[0025] The positioning component 4 includes a first hydraulic cylinder 401, one end of which is movably sleeved with a first piston rod 402, and one end of the first piston rod 402 passes through one side of the platform 3 and is movably connected to a positioner 403. The first hydraulic cylinder 401, the first piston rod 402 and the positioner 403 are symmetrically distributed about the horizontal center line of the platform 3.
[0026] The clamping assembly 5 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 501, one end of which is movably sleeved with a second piston rod 502, and one end of the second piston rod 502 is movably connected to a clamping device 503. The inner wall of the clamping device 503 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support member 504, and the platform 3 has a slot 505 above the clamping device 503.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the clamp 503 is boomerang-shaped, and the second hydraulic cylinder 501, the second piston rod 502, the clamp 503 and the support member 504 are symmetrically distributed about the horizontal center line of the platform 3.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 2 includes a servo motor 201, and one end of the output shaft of the servo motor 201 passes through one side of the second support column 202 and is rotatably connected to a lead screw 203. The two ends of the lead screw 203 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the two second support columns 202, and a moving part 204 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 203. A push rod 205 is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the moving part 204, and the two ends of the push rod 205 are movably connected to one side of the two scissor telescopic devices 206.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the hydraulic control mechanism 6 is electrically connected to the servo motor 201, and the hydraulic control mechanism 6 is electrically connected to the first hydraulic cylinder 401 and the second hydraulic cylinder 501 respectively. The inner diameter of the positioning hole 9 is consistent with the outer diameter of the positioner 403.
[0030] The automatic lifting and positioning mechanism for loading and unloading kiln cars operates as follows:
[0031] First, move the self-locking caster wheel 10 to the work area. The self-locking caster wheel 10 includes a mounting base, bolts, nuts, support legs, and casters. By rotating the bolts, the support legs can be moved downwards, allowing them to contact the ground and continue moving until the casters leave the ground. Then, tighten the nuts to ensure the transfer mechanism is placed stably. When moving, rotating the bolts can move the support legs upwards, allowing them to move away from the ground and continue moving until the casters contact the ground again. Then, tighten the nuts. By starting the servo motor 201 (model: HGKR43JK), the lead screw 203 will rotate, thereby driving the push rod 205 connected to the moving part 204 to move. This causes the movable end of the scissor telescopic device 206 to move horizontally around the fixed end, allowing the elevator to rise until it is level with the rails. Then, the limit switch is in place, and the elevator stops rising. Pumping hydraulic oil into the first hydraulic cylinder 401 will push the first piston rod 402 to move. The first piston rod 402 will drive the positioner 403 to extend out of the platform 3, and make multiple first piston rods 402 move and engage with multiple positioning holes 9, thereby completing the positioning operation. The hydraulic control mechanism 6 displays "positioning extended in place". At this time, the elevator will not shake or sink.
[0032] After the elevator is positioned, the automatic trolley device (model: YC-5T) pushes the kiln car onto platform 3. Once the automatic trolley device (model: YC-5T) leaves the elevator, hydraulic oil is pumped into the second hydraulic cylinder 501, which pushes the second piston rod 502. The second piston rod 502 then drives the clamping device 503 to rotate around the support member 504, causing one end of the clamping device 503 to extend out of the slot 505, thereby clamping the kiln car. After the hydraulic control mechanism 6 displays "Clamping in place," the first hydraulic cylinder 401 can be operated to retract the first piston rod 402. The lowering operation can only proceed after the hydraulic control mechanism 6 displays "Positioning retraction in place." Once the kiln car is in position, loading and unloading can begin.
