Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a loading and unloading mechanism and a turnover device. Background Technology
[0002] Nowadays, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical companies often need to sterilize certain foods and nutritional products that have been stored for a long time at high temperatures. During the sterilization process, the food is usually placed in cages, and then a trolley is used to send the cages into the sterilization kettle for sterilization.
[0003] For example, patent CN208731380U discloses a sterilization cage transition device between a trolley and a sterilization autoclave. When the sterilization cage is transported on the trolley to the end of the trolley and is on the conveyor wheels, the telescopic end of the cylinder extends, pushing the conveyor frame towards the inlet of the sterilization autoclave. When the conveyor frame moves to the inlet of the sterilization autoclave, the worker pushes the sterilization cage into the sterilization autoclave using the conveyor wheels, completing the transport process. Afterwards, the telescopic end of the cylinder retracts, pulling the conveyor frame back, and the transport of the next sterilization cage continues. This device can only push the sterilization cage into the sterilization autoclave; when the sterilization cage needs to be removed, it requires manual handling, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a loading and unloading mechanism and turnover equipment, which can solve the problem that the existing trolley requires manual removal of the sterilization cage, resulting in high labor intensity and low work efficiency.

[0025] This utility model also provides a turnover device, including a sterilization tank and the above-mentioned loading and unloading mechanism, which is used to transport the sterilization cage to the sterilization tank or remove the sterilization cage from the sterilization tank.
[0026] The loading and unloading mechanism and turnover equipment of this utility model have the following advantages over the prior art:
[0027] (1) The conveying platform is moved by the drive mechanism. The conveying platform is used to place the sterilization cage to realize the movement of the sterilization cage.

[0043] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this utility model provides a loading and unloading mechanism, including a conveying platform 1, a driving mechanism 2, and a pushing mechanism 3. The conveying platform 1 has a conveying surface 11; the movable end of the driving mechanism 2 is connected to the conveying platform 1; the pushing mechanism 3 includes a pushing member 31 movably disposed on the conveying platform 1. The pushing member 31 has a top surface 311 and a side surface 312 connected at an angle. The pushing member 31 has a first state in which the top surface 311 is flush with the conveying surface 11, and a second state in which the side surface 312 is set at an angle to the conveying surface 11, and at least a portion of the side surface 312 protrudes from the conveying surface 11.
[0045] The conveying surface 11 of the conveying platform 1 is used to carry and convey the sterilization cage 4. The movable end of the drive mechanism 2 is connected to the conveying platform 1. The drive mechanism 2 drives the movement of the conveying platform 1, thereby driving the synchronous movement of the sterilization cage 4 located on it, thus conveying the sterilization cage 4 into the sterilization kettle, or removing the sterilization cage 4 from the sterilization kettle. The pusher 31 has a top surface 311 and a side surface 312 connected at an angle. When the pusher 31 is in the first state, the top surface 311 of the pusher 31 is flush with the conveying surface 11, so that the sterilization cage 4 can move stably on the conveying platform 1, and interference with other components can be avoided during the movement of the conveying platform 1. When the pusher 31 is in the second state, at least a portion of the side 312 of the pusher 31 protrudes from the conveying surface 11 and is set at an angle to the conveying surface 11. When the sterilization cage 4 needs to be removed, the side 312 of the pusher 31 can contact the side 312 of the sterilization cage 4. Under the movement of the conveying platform 1, the side 312 of the pusher 31 will push the sterilization cage 4 so that the sterilization cage 4 can move synchronously with the movement of the conveying platform 1. Thus, the pusher 31 can flexibly push the sterilization cage 4 during the conveying process without the need for manual handling, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.
[0046] Specifically, when the sterilization cage 4 is loaded, it is positioned on the conveying surface 11 of the conveying platform 1, with the pusher 31 in its first state. The drive mechanism 2 drives the conveying platform 1 to move into the sterilization vessel, thereby conveying the sterilization cage 4 into the sterilization vessel for sterilization. During the movement, since the top surface 311 of the pusher 31 is flush with the conveying surface 11, the pusher 31 will not interfere with the movement of the conveying platform 1, ensuring the stability and reliability of the loading of the sterilization cage 4. Furthermore, after the sterilization cage 4 is conveyed into the sterilization vessel, the conveying platform 1 can be removed from the sterilization vessel. After the sterilization cage 4 completes the sterilization process, the drive mechanism 2 drives the conveying platform 1 to move into the sterilization vessel, with the pusher 31 in its first state, thus ensuring the stable entry of the conveying platform 1. Afterwards, the control ejector switches from the first state to the second state. At least part of the side 312 of the pusher 31 protrudes from the conveying surface 11 and is set at an angle to the conveying surface 11. A certain angle space is formed between the side 312 of the pusher 31 and the conveying surface 11. During the process of the drive mechanism 2 driving the conveying platform 1 to move out of the sterilization tank, the angle space gradually approaches the sterilization cage 4 until the side wall of the sterilization cage 4 contacts the side 312 of the pusher 31. At this time, as the pusher 31 continues to move, the side 312 of the pusher 31 will push the sterilization cage 4, so that the sterilization cage 4 moves synchronously with the movement of the pusher 31, thereby removing the sterilization cage 4 from the sterilization tank, thus realizing the feeding operation of the sterilization cage 4.
[0047] The drive mechanism 2 can be any component capable of driving the conveying platform 1 to reciprocate, such as a hydraulic cylinder, oil cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or screw drive. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 21, which is connected to the conveying platform 1 through a transmission mechanism to drive the conveying platform 1 to reciprocate. The transmission mechanism includes, but is not limited to, structures such as gears and racks, sprockets and chains, or belts and pulleys. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism adopts a sprocket and chain structure, wherein the sprocket 22 is connected to the drive motor 21, and the conveying platform 1 is connected to the chain 23. Therefore, the drive motor 21 drives the sprocket 22 to rotate, the sprocket 22 drives the chain 23 to move, and the chain 23 drives the conveying platform 1 to move synchronously. Of course, in different application scenarios, multiple sets of transmission mechanisms can be used, and multiple sets of transmission mechanisms can be interconnected to drive the movement of the conveying platform 1. For example, other transmission mechanisms can be used to connect the drive motor 21 and the sprocket 22. In this case, the installation position of the drive motor 21 is not limited, which can meet the usage requirements of different scenarios.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying platform 1 is provided with a receiving groove 12, and the pusher 31 is movably disposed within the receiving groove 12. The receiving groove 12 provides stable moving space for the pusher 31, ensuring that the movement of the pusher 31 does not interfere with the conveying platform 1. At the same time, the conveying platform 1 can also protect the pusher 31, ensuring stable switching of the pusher 31 between the first state and the second state, and ensuring the use of the device.
[0049] It is known that the pusher 31 can switch its state on the conveying platform 1 in any way. For example, the conveying platform 1 is equipped with a mover, which can be an electric push rod or a cylinder. The pusher 31 is rotatably mounted on the conveying platform 1. The mover is hinged to one end of the pusher 31. The mover can drive the end of the pusher 31 to rise and fall, thereby switching the pusher 31 between the first state and the second state.
[0050] Optionally, the pushing mechanism 3 includes a connecting shaft 32, which is rotatably mounted on the conveying platform 1 and positioned eccentrically on the pushing component 31. This eccentric arrangement allows the pushing component 31 to maintain stability under its own weight. Since the pushing component 31 is eccentrically connected to the conveying platform 1, it is in its second state under normal operation. Furthermore, when the top surface 311 of the pushing component 31 encounters an obstacle during movement, as the pushing component 31 moves towards the obstacle relative to its side 312, the top surface 311 can automatically rotate at a certain angle after contacting the obstacle, automatically switching the pushing component 31 from the second state to the first state, allowing the top surface 311 to contact the surface of the obstacle and continue moving. When the pushing component 31 moves away from the obstacle, it automatically switches back to the second state under its own weight, facilitating operation.
[0051] Of course, the connecting shaft 32 can also be connected to the middle position of the pusher 31, so that the pusher 31 is in the first state under normal operation. A mover can also be connected to the pusher 31. The mover is used to drive the pusher 31 to swing, so that the pusher 31 can switch from the first state to the second state, or from the second state to the first state. Among them, the mover can be a component with driving force such as a cylinder or an electric push rod, or it can be an elastic reset component 343 such as a spring.
[0052] Optionally, the pushing mechanism 3 includes a limiting plate 33, which is disposed on the conveying platform 1. The limiting plate 33 is used to cooperate with at least a portion of the top surface 311 to limit the rotation angle of the pushing component 31. The limiting plate 33 can control the rotation angle of the pushing component 31, ensuring that the pushing component 31 accurately switches between the first state and the second state, avoiding pushing errors or equipment damage caused by excessive rotation, and improving the operating accuracy and safety of the equipment.
[0053] The top surface 311 has a first part on one side that connects to the side surface 312, and a second part on the other side. A limiting plate 33 can be positioned above the second part to limit the swing angle of the pusher 31. Furthermore, by setting the limiting plate 33, during the process where the side surface 312 of the pusher 31 cooperates with the sterilization cage 4 and the side surface 312 pushes the sterilization cage 4, the limiting plate 33 can also provide a certain force to the pusher 31, increasing its pushing force and overall strength, thus ensuring the stability of pushing the material into the sterilization cage 4.
[0054] Furthermore, the limiting plate 33 has a limiting surface 331, which is used to cooperate with the top surface 311 of the pusher 31. The limiting surface 331 is inclined. The inclined limiting surface 331 can better adapt to the shape and swing trajectory of the pusher 31, providing a more stable limiting effect during the rotation of the pusher 31, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of the pushing operation.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 3 includes a state switching component 34, which includes a moving part 341 and a resetting part 343. The moving part 341 is disposed on the conveying platform 1, and a moving part 342 is disposed on the movable end of the moving part 341. The resetting part 343 is disposed on the moving part 342 and cooperates with the bottom surface 313 of the pushing part 31. Under the movement of the resetting part 343, the pushing part 31 switches between the first state and the second state. The movement of the moving part 341 drives the movement of the moving part 342, and the moving part 342 drives the resetting part 343 to move synchronously. Under the movement of the resetting part 343, the pushing part 31 can flexibly switch between the first state and the second state. The state switching component 34 realizes the automated switching of the state of the pushing part 31, reduces manual intervention, and improves the automation level and working efficiency of the loading and unloading mechanism.
[0056] Optionally, the middle part of the pusher is rotatably connected to the conveying platform 1. The reset member 343 can be a spring or a push rod, etc. The reset member 343 is connected to one end of the pusher or in contact with the pusher. The reciprocating movement of the moving member 342 drives the synchronous movement of the reset member 343, thereby driving the end of the reset member 343 that cooperates with the pusher to move up and down, thus realizing the switching of the pusher between the first state and the second state. It can be understood that the up and down movement of the end of the reset member 343 that cooperates with the pusher is used to realize the state switching of the pusher. Of course, while the end moves up and down, it can also move to a certain extent in the horizontal direction.
[0057] The pusher is eccentrically connected to the conveying platform 1. The moving component 341 includes a moving rod 3411, a limiting groove 3412, and a driver 3414. The moving rod 3411 is disposed on the conveying platform 1 and is connected to the moving component 342. The limiting groove 3412 is formed on the conveying platform 1 and has two recesses 3413 spaced apart along the moving direction of the moving component 342. The moving rod 3411 is embedded in the recesses 3413. The driver 3414 has a lifting end 34141 and a driving end 34142, which is movably disposed along the moving direction of the moving component 342.
[0058] The driving end 34142 is disposed on the lifting end 34141, and the moving rod 3411 is connected to the driving end 34142; or the lifting end 34141 is disposed on the driving end 34142, and the moving rod 3411 is connected to the lifting end 34141.
[0059] The movable rod 3411 can move stably within the limiting groove 3412, while the notch 3413 provides support and positioning for the movable rod 3411, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movable rod 3411's position during movement. The movable rod 3411 is driven by the driver 3414 to move the movable component 342 stably, thereby realizing the state switching of the pusher component 31.
[0060] In this embodiment, the movable component 342 contacts and engages with the bottom surface 313 of the pushing component. As the movable component 342 moves, the pushing component switches from the second state to the first state. When the movable component 342 moves in the opposite direction, the pushing component switches from the first state to the second state under its own gravity. The actuator 3414 includes a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, etc. For example, the actuator 3414 includes a lifting cylinder and a moving cylinder. The moving cylinder is mounted on the lifting cylinder, and its piston rod is connected to the moving rod 3411, thus driving the moving rod 3411.
[0061] Of course, the piston rod of the movable cylinder can also be provided with a transmission part 34143. The transmission part 34143 has a rod groove 34144 for engaging with the movable rod 3411. Under the action of the driver 3414, the rod groove 34144 is moved to the position where it engages with the movable rod 3411. Then, by driving the transmission part 34143 to move, the movable rod 3411 is driven to move synchronously. When it is not necessary to drive the movable rod 3411 to move, the transmission part 34143 is driven to a position away from the movable rod 3411, which can ensure the reliability and stability of the position of the movable rod 3411.
[0062] In addition, to ensure the stability of the movement of the moving rod 3411, two drivers 3414 can be provided. The two drivers 3414 are respectively used to cooperate with the two ends of the moving rod 3411 to achieve stable driving of the moving rod 3411.
[0063] Of course, the conveying platform 1 is provided with a moving channel 13, and the state switching component 34 is set in the moving channel 13. The setting of the moving channel 13 can effectively utilize the internal space of the conveying platform 1, reduce the occupation of external space, make the structure of the entire loading and unloading mechanism more compact, and at the same time help protect the state switching component 34, avoid it from interference and damage by external factors, and improve the stability and service life of the equipment.
[0064] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 3 is provided in two sets, with the two sets of pushing mechanisms 3 located on both sides of the conveying platform 1, and the two sets of pushing mechanisms 3 are arranged in an axisymmetric structure about the conveying platform 1; the movable end of the driving mechanism 2 is connected to the middle position of the conveying platform 1. The symmetrical structure allows sterilization tanks to be set on both sides of the moving direction of the conveying platform 1 of the loading and unloading mechanism, enabling the conveying of sterilization cages 4 into the sterilization tanks on both sides, or the removal of sterilization cages 4 from the sterilization tanks on both sides, improving work efficiency and reducing space occupancy. The movable end of the driving mechanism 2 is connected to the middle position of the conveying platform 1. This connection method allows the driving mechanism 2 to drive the conveying platform 1 more evenly, avoiding deformation or damage to the conveying platform 1 due to uneven force, further improving the stability and reliability of the conveying. At the same time, during the process of the driving mechanism 2 driving the conveying platform 1 to move, both ends of the conveying platform 1 can protrude from the conveying mechanism, facilitating the loading and unloading of materials.
[0065] Of course, the loading and unloading mechanism may also include a frame 5, a conveying platform 1 and a drive mechanism 2, all of which are mounted on the frame 5. A movable wheel 6 is rotatably mounted on the frame 5, and a support rod 7 is embedded in the movable wheel 6. The support rod 7 is connected to the conveying platform 1. Through the embedded cooperation between the support rod 7 and the movable wheel 6, the conveying platform 1 can be supported, and the stability of the movement of the conveying platform 1 can be improved. The movement of the conveying platform 1 can also be guided.
[0066] In summary, this application provides a loading and unloading mechanism. A driving mechanism 2 drives the movement of a conveying platform 1, which holds a sterilization cage 4, thus driving the movement of the sterilization cage 4. The pusher 31 is normally in a second state. When the sterilization cage 4 is being loaded, the conveying platform 1 moves towards the sterilization vessel until it enters the vessel. During this movement, the pusher 31 contacts the bottom plate inside the sterilization vessel, and its top surface 311, guided by a guide, switches from the second state to the first state until the sterilization cage 4 is conveyed into the sterilization vessel. Afterward, when the contact between the pusher 31 and the bottom plate is released, the pusher 31 automatically switches back to the second state. A state switching component 34 then switches the pusher 31 back to the first state, and the conveying platform 1 is removed from the sterilization vessel. After removal, the state switching component 34 resets, and the pusher 31 switches back from the first state to the second state. When the sterilization cage 4 is being fed, the conveying platform 1 moves toward the sterilization vessel until it enters the sterilization vessel. When the contact between the pusher 31 and the bottom plate is canceled, the pusher 31 will automatically switch to the second state. At this time, the sterilization cage 4 is located in the angle area between the side 312 of the pusher 31 and the conveying surface 11. Then the conveying platform 1 moves toward the direction away from the sterilization vessel. After the side 312 of the pusher 31 contacts the sterilization cage 4, the pusher 31 will exert a pushing force on the sterilization cage 4 as it continues to move, thus removing the sterilization cage 4 from the sterilization vessel without the need for manual handling, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.
[0067] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this utility model also provides a turnover device, including a sterilization tank and the loading and unloading mechanism described in the above embodiment. The loading and unloading mechanism is used to transport the sterilization cage 4 into the sterilization tank or remove the sterilization cage 4 from the sterilization tank. By transporting the sterilization cage 4 into the sterilization tank or removing the sterilization cage 4 from the sterilization tank through the loading and unloading mechanism, the automatic loading and unloading of the sterilization cage 4 is realized, which greatly improves the working efficiency of the turnover device, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and also helps to improve the automation level and production efficiency of the entire sterilization process.
[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
