Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cold storage defrosting devices, and in particular to an electrically heated defrosting and anti-slip device for the ground rail of a cold storage stacker crane. Background Technology

[0002] A cold storage stacker crane is an automated material handling equipment designed specifically for low-temperature environments. It is widely used in cold chain logistics centers, frozen food warehouses, pharmaceutical cold storage facilities, quick-freezing processing workshops, and other scenarios. It automatically completes the storage, retrieval, handling, and stacking of pallets or boxes in narrow aisles. It is the core equipment of automated three-dimensional cold storage. Cold storage stacker cranes mostly move on ground rails in cold storage.

[0003] However, in low-temperature environments, moisture in the air will condense into frost on the ground rails of existing cold storage stacker cranes. When the stacker crane moves on the ground rails, the friction coefficient between the moving wheels of the stacker crane and the ground rails is reduced due to the frost on the ground rail surface, which makes it easy to slip and thus affects the effectiveness of the cold storage stacker crane. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model solves the problems in related technologies and proposes an electric heating defrosting and anti-slip device for the ground rail of a cold storage stacker crane.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an electric heating defrosting and anti-slip device for the ground rail of a cold storage stacker crane, comprising a ground rail, a rail trolley, a stacking robotic arm, a defrosting component, a heating component, and a dewatering component. The rail trolley is movably mounted on the ground rail, and the stacking robotic arm is vertically fixed to the top surface of the rail trolley. A sliding frame is vertically fixed to the front end surface of the rail trolley, and a lifting carriage is vertically slidably assembled within the sliding frame. The lifting carriage has a sliding surface extending from front to back... The system is equipped with a frost scraper, a heating element, and a water removal element. The frost scraper includes a frost scraper frame and frost scraper blades. The frost scraper frame is vertically fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting carriage, and frost scraper blades for removing floating ice from the surface of the ground rail are vertically fixed to the inner wall of the frost scraper frame. The heating element includes an oil tank and a heating oil cylinder. The oil tank is vertically fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting carriage and is fitted onto the ground rail. The heating oil cylinder is horizontally fixed to the top surface of the lifting carriage, and both ends of the heating oil cylinder are connected and fixed to both ends of the oil tank through oil guide pipes.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, a heat-conducting frame is fixed on the inner wall of the oil tank, and multiple fins inserted into the oil tank are fixed on the outer wall of the heat-conducting frame.

[0007] As a preferred option, an oil pump is connected and fixed to the oil guide pipe at one end of the oil tank.

[0008] As a preferred option, multiple heating rods are uniformly and horizontally fixed inside the heating oil cylinder.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a compression spring is vertically fixed on the inner bottom surface of the slide frame, and the bottom end of the compression spring is fixed on the top surface of the lifting slide.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the water removal component includes a water removal frame, which is vertically fixed on the bottom surface of the lifting carriage and is fitted onto the ground rail. A scraper strip is fixed on the inner wall of the water removal frame.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a rubber frame is fixed to the inner wall of the water removal frame, and an absorbent cloth is fixed to the inner wall of the rubber frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the scraping blades on the inner wall of the scraping frame in the scraping component are responsible for scraping away the frost and ice condensed on the floor rail, ensuring the surface of the floor rail is clean; the heating oil cylinder in the heating component heats the oil through the heating rod, and then transports it to the heat-conducting frame and fins in the oil shell to effectively melt the more solid frost and ice, ensuring the flatness and dryness of the floor rail surface; the scraping frame strips on the inner wall of the water-removing frame in the water-removing component, as well as the deformation force of the rubber frame, are used to scrape away the melted water on the floor rail, and allow the absorbent cloth to adhere tightly to the floor rail to absorb and remove residual moisture, preventing the moisture from condensing back into frost and ice in a low-temperature environment. The scraping component, heating component, and water-removing component move together along the track via a moving track trolley. The scraping component first scrapes away the frost and ice on the floor rail, then the heating component heats and melts the more solid frost and ice, and finally the water-removing component removes the melted water and residual moisture from the floor rail, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning and drying the floor rail.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0021] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an electric heating defrosting and anti-slip device for the ground rail of a cold storage stacker includes a ground rail 1, a rail trolley 2, a stacking robotic arm 3, a defrosting component 4, a heating component 5, and a dewatering component 6. The rail trolley 2 is movably mounted on the ground rail 1, and the stacking robotic arm 3 is vertically fixed to the top surface of the rail trolley 2. A sliding frame 21 is vertically fixed to the front end surface of the rail trolley 2, and a lifting slide 22 is vertically slidably assembled within the sliding frame 21. The defrosting component 4, the heating component 5, and the dewatering component 6 are sequentially arranged from front to back on the bottom surface of the lifting slide 22. The defrosting component 4 includes a defrosting frame 41 and a defrosting blade 42. The frost scraper 42, used for removing floating ice from the surface of the ground rail 1, is vertically fixed on the bottom surface of the lifting slide 22 and on the inner wall of the frost scraper frame 41. The heating element 5 includes an oil shell 51 and a heating oil cylinder 54. The oil shell 51 is vertically fixed on the bottom surface of the lifting slide 22 and is fitted onto the ground rail 1. The heating oil cylinder 54 is horizontally fixed on the top surface of the lifting slide 22, and both ends of the heating oil cylinder 54 are connected and fixed to both ends of the oil shell 51 through oil guide pipes. The electric heating defrosting and anti-slip device supports the movement of the rail trolley 2 through the ground rail 1. A stacking robotic arm 3 is fixed on the rail trolley for handling goods. The front end of the rail trolley slides from front to back through the sliding frame 21 and the lifting slide 22, thereby driving the frost scraper 4, the heating element 5, and the water removal element 6 to perform defrosting operations. The system comprises several components: a frost scraper 4 (using a frost scraper frame 41 and scraper blades 42) and a heating element 5 (including an oil tank 51 and a heating oil cylinder 54). The oil tank 51 is fitted onto the ground rail 1, and the heating oil cylinder 54 circulates oil between the cylinder and the oil tank via an oil guide pipe, heating the ground rail surface to melt the ice and prevent refreezing. A dewatering element 6 helps remove excess water after melting, reducing water accumulation on the ground rail surface. When the track trolley 2 moves, the frost scraper 4 first removes the floating ice from the ground rail 1, the heating element 5 then heats the ice layer in the initial melting stage to prevent refreezing, and the dewatering element 6 further removes excess water, effectively preventing ice formation on the ground rail 1 and ensuring the safe operation and efficiency of the cold storage stacker crane.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 3As shown, a heat-conducting frame 52 is fixed on the inner wall of the oil tank 51, and multiple fins 53 inserted into the oil tank 51 are fixed on the outer wall of the heat-conducting frame 52. An oil pump 56 is fixedly connected to the oil guide pipe at one end of the oil tank 51. Multiple heating rods 55 are uniformly and horizontally fixed inside the heating oil cylinder 54. The heat-conducting frame 52 is provided inside the oil tank 51, and multiple fins 53 inserted into the oil tank 51 are fixed on the outer wall of the heat-conducting frame 52. The fins 53 can increase the heat exchange area and improve the heat conduction efficiency, so that the heat energy in the oil tank 51 can be transferred more evenly. The oil guide pipe at one end of the oil tank 51 is connected to the oil circuit through the oil pump 56. The oil pump 56 is responsible for providing power to transport the heated oil to the parts that need to be heated. Multiple heating rods 55 are uniformly and horizontally fixed inside the heating oil cylinder 54. These heating rods 55 can uniformly heat the oil, ensuring that the oil is heated evenly in the heating oil cylinder 54, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the entire system. Its working principle is as follows: the oil is first transported to the heating oil cylinder 54 by the oil pump 56, the heating rod 55 heats the oil, and the oil exchanges heat better through the heat-conducting frame 52 and fins 53 during the heating process. Then the oil continues to flow inside the oil shell 51, and the heated oil is finally transported to the parts that need to be heated, thereby achieving efficient heat transfer and heating effect.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a compression spring 23 is vertically fixed to the inner bottom surface of the slide frame 21, and the bottom end of the compression spring 23 is fixed to the top surface of the lifting carriage 22. The function of the slide frame 21 is to provide a relatively stable support structure inside to keep the position of its internal components unchanged. The main function of the compression spring 23 is to apply a downward pressure when the lifting carriage 22 moves upward, maintaining stable contact and precise alignment. The bottom end of the compression spring 23 is fixed to the top surface of the lifting carriage 22, which ensures that the lifting carriage 22 can stably contact the slide frame 21 during the up and down movement, avoiding positional displacement due to external forces. When the lifting carriage 22 moves up and down under the guidance of the slide frame 21, the compression spring 23 provides a continuous pressure, ensuring uniform contact between the lifting carriage 22 and the slide frame 21, thereby achieving stable up and down movement and precise alignment.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 5As shown, the water removal component 6 includes a water removal frame 61, which is vertically fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting slide 22 and fitted onto the ground rail 1. A squeegee strip 62 is fixed to the inner wall of the water removal frame 61. A rubber frame 63 is fixed to the inner wall of the water removal frame 61, and an absorbent cloth 64 is fixed to the inner wall of the rubber frame 63. The water removal component 6 consists of the water removal frame 61, the squeegee strip 62, the rubber frame 63, and the absorbent cloth 64. The water removal frame 61 is vertically fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting slide 22 and fitted onto the ground rail 1, responsible for removing water from the ground through contact and pressure during lifting and moving. The squeegee strip 62 is fixed to the inner wall of the water removal frame 61 and is used to physically scrape away water from the ground. A rubber frame 63 is fixed to the inner wall of the water-removing frame 61, and an absorbent cloth 64 is fixed to the inner wall of the rubber frame 63. The rubber frame 63 increases the friction with the ground, making the water removal effect more stable, while the absorbent cloth 64 further absorbs the residual moisture on the ground. These components work together, and when the lifting carriage 22 moves, the water on the ground is effectively removed through the scraping action of the water-removing frame 61 and the water absorption action of the absorbent cloth 64, thus making the working environment drier.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model:

[0030] First, the frost scraper 4, heating element 5, and dewatering element 6 are arranged from front to back along the track trolley 2 in the direction of movement of the ground rail 1. Then, under the deformation force of the compression spring 23, the lifting slide 22 pushes the slide bar 21 to slide vertically down on the frost scraper 4, heating element 5, and dewatering element 6, pushing the frost scraper 4, heating element 5, and dewatering element 6 to press against the ground rail 1.

[0031] Then, when the track trolley 2 moves on the ground rail 1, the frost scraper 42 on the inner wall of the frost scraper frame 41 in the frost scraper 4 presses against the ground rail 1 to scrape off the frost and ice that has condensed on the ground rail 1.

[0032] Secondly, in order to remove the relatively solid frost on the ground rail 1, the oil pump 56 is started to transport the oil heated by the heating rod 55 in the heating oil cylinder 54 into the oil shell 51. The heat conduction in the oil shell 51 includes the contact heat conduction frame 52 and multiple fins 53. The heat is transferred to the heat conduction frame 52 to heat and melt the relatively solid frost on the ground rail 1.

[0033] Finally, the scraper strip 62 on the inner wall of the water removal frame 61 in the water removal component 6 scrapes away the melted water on the ground rail 1. At the same time, the absorbent cloth 64 is pushed by the deformation force of the rubber frame 63 to stick tightly to the ground rail 1 to remove the residual water on the ground rail 1, so as to prevent frost and ice from condensing again at low temperatures later.

[0034] The above are preferred embodiments of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
