Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent control systems for low-magnification inspection, and in particular to a special scrap steel bucket suitable for forklift operations. Background Technology
[0002] The samples for low-magnification inspection mainly consisted of round billets with a diameter of φ100~800mm × 25mm (thickness) and square billets with a diameter of 100mm~300mm × 25mm (thickness). Manual handling of these billets was characterized by high labor intensity and significant safety hazards. To eliminate these adverse factors, an improved method was adopted, replacing manual handling of scrap steel with robots.
[0003] The fully automated intelligent control system for low-magnification inspection completes the entire operation process through robotic operation, involving sample loading, acid leaching, unloading, laser marking, imaging, and sample retention. Finally, the samples are stored in a scrap steel hopper, which is then moved to the top of a transport vehicle using a forklift for self-unloading of the scrap steel, completing the operation. To meet the requirements of the automated control process, a dedicated scrap steel hopper suitable for forklift operation is required.
[0004] This invention designs a special scrap steel bucket. After the operation is completed, the robot puts the sample into the special scrap steel bucket, and the scrap steel is delivered to the transport vehicle by a forklift.
[0005] The scrap steel hopper of this invention is suitable for use with forklifts to achieve automatic unloading of scrap steel, eliminate the labor intensity and safety risks of manual operation, and meet the requirements of fully automated operation. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a special scrap steel bucket suitable for forklift operation includes a base and a box body. The base includes a bottom plate and four support legs. Support legs are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the bottom plate, and an optical shaft is welded to the upper end of one of the long sides of the bottom plate. The box body includes a front panel, a rear panel, a left side panel, and a right side panel. The front panel, rear panel, left side panel, and right side panel are welded to the corresponding front, rear, left, and right sides of the upper end of the bottom plate. Channel steel is welded to the left and right ends of the outer side of the front panel. Lifting lugs are welded to the left and right ends of the connection between the outer side of the left and right side panels and the front panel. The lifting lugs are connected to the optical shaft.
[0008] A top plate is welded to the upper part of the rear panel of the enclosure.
[0009] Angle iron posts are installed at the joints of the base plate, front panel, rear panel, left side panel, and right side panel. The angle iron posts are 40±2mm wide and 4±0.5mm thick.
[0010] The base plate measures 1200±50mm in length, 1050±20mm in width, and 16±2mm in thickness. The support leg measures 140±5mm in length, 120±5mm in width, and 10±1mm in thickness. The optical axis measures φ35±1mm and 75±2mm.
[0011] The front panel measures 1250±50mm in length, 740±20mm in width, and 10±1mm in thickness; the rear panel measures 1250±50mm in length, 790±20mm in width, and 10±1mm in thickness; the side panels measure 1030±50mm in length, 740±20mm / 790±20mm in width, and 10±1mm in thickness; and the internal diameter of the box measures 1240±50mm in length and 1020±20mm in width.
[0012] The channel steel dimensions are 200±5mm in length, 73±2mm in width, and 7±0.5mm in thickness.
[0013] The lifting lug dimensions are φ90±2mm*thickness 30±1mm, and inner diameter 32±1mm.
[0014] The dimensions of the top plate are 1250±50mm in length, 130±5mm in width, and 10±1mm in thickness.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the use of the scrap steel hopper ensures the operation of the robotic arm for sample unloading and scrap steel transfer, lays the foundation for the operation of the entire automated control system, and eliminates the safety risks that may be caused by human operation.

[0027] This invention relates to a scrap steel hopper consisting of a base and a box body. The base measures 1200mm (length) x 1050mm (width) x 16mm (thickness), with four corner supports measuring 140mm (length) x 120mm (width) x 10mm (height) to ensure load-bearing capacity and allow forklift arm access. A φ35mm x 75mm optical shaft is welded to the upper part of the base along its length. The box body comprises a front panel (1250mm (length) x 740mm (width) x 10mm (thickness), a rear panel (1250mm (length) x 790mm (width) x 10mm (thickness), and two side panels (1030mm (length) x 740mm / 790mm (width) x 10mm (thickness)). The inner diameter of the box is 1240mm (length) x 1020mm (width), ensuring that a robot can horizontally place a round billet sample with a maximum diameter of 800mm.
[0028] Weld 200mm long * 73mm wide * 7mm thick channel steel at the top left and right of the front panel to facilitate the entry of the two forklift columns; weld φ90mm * 30mm thick, 32mm inner diameter lifting lugs at the bottom left and right ends of the connection between the side panel and the front panel to connect with the bottom plate optical shaft.
[0029] To ensure the stability of the enclosure and prevent deformation under stress, a top plate (1250mm long * 130mm wide * 10mm thick) is welded to the rear panel of the upper part of the enclosure. Angle irons of 1230mm long * 40mm wide * 4mm thick and 1030mm long * 40mm wide * 4mm thick are welded to the front and back of the bottom and the left and right sides of the bottom to enhance strength.
[0030] All materials are made of Q235 steel and assembled by welding.
[0031] The structure of the present invention is as follows Figures 1-9 As shown.
[0032] The scrap steel hopper of this invention has a maximum load capacity of 3 tons. The inner diameter must ensure that a maximum φ800mm round billet sample can be placed horizontally, and at least 20 samples can be placed.
[0033] The entire forklift operation process is as follows: the two forklift booms are inserted from the front plate of the scrap steel bucket into the bottom plate. The booms are raised so that the two forklift columns are inserted into the channel steel of the front plate. Then the forklift starts working, lifting the scrap steel bucket and transporting it to the top of the vehicle's cargo box. The booms are lowered, and the bottom plate of the scrap steel bucket falls down at the same time, causing the scrap steel in the scrap steel bucket to fall into the cargo box, thus completing the operation.
[0034] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the structural features protected by the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the patent scope of the present utility model.
