This leads to the need for frequent adjustments to related equipment when changing different product models, which is inconvenient for production personnel to maintain and operate. To a certain extent, this will lead to a decrease in overall production efficiency and an increase in production costs.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a material transport vehicle for bulk material handling machines to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a material transport carrier for a bulk material handling machine. The carrier includes several carrier bodies 100 arranged side-by-side along a first direction. Each carrier body 100 has several recessed storage troughs 200 arranged along a second direction. The inner diameter of the opening of the storage troughs 200 corresponding to any two adjacent carrier bodies 100 is different. The inner wall contour of the storage troughs 200 can fit and clamp the material. The first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the material is specifically a lamp tube. In other embodiments, the material can be set according to specific needs. This arrangement, using storage troughs 200 with different opening sizes, achieves compatibility with various specifications and models of products. When changing product models, only the suction position needs to be changed, making operation simple and enabling rapid switching. This greatly reduces the time required for changing product models and production preparation time, reduces equipment complexity, facilitates maintenance and operation by production personnel, improves its versatility and flexibility, and effectively improves production efficiency and equipment adaptability. It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are respectively Figure 1 The arrow in the image indicates the direction.
[0029] Optionally, to further enhance compatibility with different types of materials, the carrier body 100 can deform so that the storage tank 200 can adaptively clamp materials of different sizes.
[0030] Optionally, the inner wall of the storage tank 200 is coated with a clamping coating that can elastically deform to clamp the material. This configuration allows the storage tank 200 to accommodate materials of different sizes without requiring replacement or adjustment of the suction position, greatly simplifying operation and reducing downtime for related equipment.
[0031] Furthermore, the clamping coating is covered with an anti-slip textured layer. This design increases surface roughness, enhancing friction on the material surface and preventing slippage. It reduces the risk of material detaching from the storage tank 200 due to wet, oily, or smooth materials, thereby improving operational safety, stability, and convenience. Even further, the anti-slip textured layer is laser-engraved to form an interlaced micro-protrusion structure. This micro-protrusion structure includes a main texture and a secondary texture. The main texture consists of wavy ridges extending axially along the storage tank 200, while the secondary texture consists of auxiliary grooves interlaced with the main texture.
[0032] Optionally, several storage tanks 200 are spaced apart and evenly arranged along the second direction. This arrangement allows for parallel operation of multiple workstations, adapts to automation requirements, prevents local congestion caused by concentrated material handling, simplifies material tracking, and further optimizes space utilization, ensuring rational and efficient use of space.
[0033] In this embodiment, the bulk material handling machine includes a suction mechanism for holding materials. Several carrier bodies 100 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the suction mechanism, with at least two sets of carrier bodies 100 on each side. Each set of carrier bodies 100 is driven by a servo motor-driven robotic arm screw device. This arrangement allows the carrier bodies 100 on both sides to simultaneously hold or release materials (e.g., alternating operation), further shortening the automated process cycle, suitable for high-cycle production needs, and enabling uninterrupted feeding. Furthermore, if one set of carrier bodies 100 fails, the remaining carrier bodies 100 can still maintain some functionality, reducing downtime risk.
[0034] Furthermore, in order to effectively achieve precise operation and improve the automation level of the process to flexibly adapt to diverse production tasks, the bulk material handling machine also includes a control unit. The control unit is connected to the suction mechanism and can control the movement of the suction mechanism and the suction of materials.
[0035] Optionally, each storage tank 200 is equipped with a pressure sensor on its bottom wall. The pressure sensor is used to monitor the material's position in real time. This configuration allows for precise monitoring of the material's status by determining whether the storage tank 200 is empty, full, or partially loaded based on pressure changes. Simultaneously, it works in conjunction with the suction mechanism to ensure that suction is only performed when material is in place, further reducing empty operations or failure rates, avoiding mechanical collisions, and improving the safety and reliability of the operation process.
[0036] Optionally, the storage tank 200 can be a square tank or a V-shaped tank. Further, in this embodiment, the storage tank 200 is a square tank.
[0037] Optionally, to achieve a modular design and facilitate the quick replacement of the carrier bodies 100 with storage troughs 200 of different sizes, the material transport carrier of the bulk material handler also includes a transport base. Each carrier body 100 is identical in size and can be interchangeably mounted on the transport base. With this configuration, if a single carrier body 100 is damaged, only the corresponding module needs to be replaced, without needing to stop the machine and disassemble the entire transport system, greatly reducing maintenance time and costs.
[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
