Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of box handling technology, specifically to a push-pull device and box handling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The battery packs are installed inside the energy storage container via inserts. During installation and repair, some related technologies use forklifts to lift the inserts and insert or remove them by moving the forklifts back and forth, which is relatively inconvenient.

[0003] Specifically, the inlet and outlet of energy storage containers are generally located along the length of the container, and the forklift travels along the same length, requiring a large working space. When the site is uneven, the height of the fork arms may fluctuate during the forklift's movement, making it difficult to insert and remove containers smoothly. Furthermore, due to the narrow gaps between the various containers in high-density energy storage containers, it is difficult for the fork arms to enter. The forklift can only enter the container sequentially from top to bottom or exit sequentially from bottom to top, and cannot selectively insert or remove a single container, resulting in poor flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a push-pull device and a box handling equipment to solve the problem of inconvenient insertion and removal of boxes.

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a push-pull device, including a frame, a limiting member, a push-pull member, and a driver. The frame has a first direction and a second direction and is used to be mounted on a lifting device. The limiting member is detachably mounted on the frame and is used to position the lifting device in the first direction. The position of the limiting member in the first direction is adjustable. The push-pull member is mounted on the frame and is used to connect to a plug-in box. The driver is mounted on the frame and is drively connected to the push-pull member. The driver is capable of driving the push-pull member to move in the first direction.

[0006] Beneficial effects: During insertion and removal, the frame is placed on the lifting device, which raises the frame to align it with the placement position of the insertion box. Then, the frame is pushed along the first direction to adjust its position on the lifting device, moving it into place in three directions. Next, the position of the frame is positioned and fixed using limiting components. The insertion box is then connected using push-pull components, allowing the insertion box to be pushed into or pulled out of its placement position. During insertion and removal, the lifting device remains stationary, thus reducing the working space required in the first direction and eliminating the impact of uneven ground. The push-pull components do not need to extend into the gap between the upper and lower insertion boxes to perform the operation, allowing for more flexible insertion and removal of the insertion box. In short, the push-pull device makes insertion and removal of the insertion box more convenient.

[0007] In one optional embodiment, the frame has a plurality of positioning holes, which are spaced apart in the first direction and the second direction, and the limiting member is inserted into the positioning holes.

[0008] Beneficial effects: Using positioning holes to install limiters facilitates the installation and removal of limiters. After the frame is moved into place, the limiter is inserted into the positioning hole and locks the lifting device, keeping the frame stable during insertion and removal operations.

[0009] In one optional embodiment, the frame includes a plurality of first mounting members arranged in pairs, with the two first mounting members in pairs located at opposite ends of the frame in the second direction, and the first mounting members having the positioning holes.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Placing the limiting components at both ends of the frame in the second direction can improve the frame's stability and also facilitate the installation and removal of the limiting components.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, a plurality of first rolling elements are further included, which are disposed on the frame and spaced apart in the first direction, and the first rolling elements are used to abut against the lifting device.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The first rolling element causes rolling friction between the lifting device and the push-pull device, thereby ensuring that the frame can move smoothly relative to the lifting device in the first direction, which facilitates the adjustment of the frame position.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the device further includes a reversing wheel and a winch. The reversing wheel is disposed at one end of the frame in the first direction, and the winch is disposed at the other end of the frame in the first direction. The winch is wound with a traction rope, which is used to connect to the push-pull member. The driver is capable of driving the winch to raise and lower the traction rope.

[0014] Beneficial effects: When inserting or removing components, the winch is located at one end away from the insertion box. When the push-pull component is connected without going through the reversing wheel, the traction rope can pull the push-pull component out of the insertion box. When the push-pull component is connected through the reversing wheel, the traction rope can pull the push-pull component into the insertion box to complete the insertion or removal operation.

[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the frame further includes a second mounting member located at one end where the winch is located, and the traction rope is capable of bypassing the push-pull member and being connected to the second mounting member.

[0016] Beneficial effects: At this time, one end of the traction rope is connected to the winch, the other end of the traction rope is fixed to the second mounting piece, and the middle part of the traction rope passes around the push-pull piece, which acts as a movable pulley, thereby improving the traction force of the traction rope.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment, a first guide member is further included, which is disposed on the frame and extends in the first direction, and the push-pull member is disposed on the first guide member and is movable along the first guide member.

[0018] Beneficial effect: The first guide member can guide the push-pull member to move smoothly in the first direction.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, a plurality of second guide members are further included, the second guide members extending in the first direction, and the plurality of second guide members are respectively arranged at both ends of the frame in the second direction.

[0020] Beneficial effect: The second guide is used to abut against the side surface of the insertion box in the second direction to position and guide the insertion box, and prevent the insertion box from shifting position.

[0021] In one alternative embodiment, a plurality of second rolling elements are further included, which are disposed on the frame and spaced apart in the first direction, and the second rolling elements are used to support the insert box.

[0022] Beneficial effect: The first rolling element causes rolling friction between the insert box and the push-pull device, thereby ensuring that the insert box can move smoothly relative to the frame in the first direction, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the insert box.

[0023] Secondly, this utility model also provides a box-insertion transport device, including a lifting device and a push-pull device provided by this utility model, wherein the push-pull device is disposed on the lifting device.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The box handling equipment includes the push-pull device provided by this utility model, and therefore has the corresponding beneficial effects brought by the push-pull device, which will not be elaborated here. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0035] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a," "an," and "comprising" as used herein may also mean including the plural forms. The terms "comprising," "including," and "having" are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0036] Although terms such as "first," "second," etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "end," "length," "inner," "outer," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the mechanism in use or operation, in addition to those depicted in the figure. For example, if the mechanism in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The mechanism may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0038] The relevant technology uses the forward and backward movement of a forklift to insert and remove containers. Since the inlet and outlet of the energy storage container are generally located along the length of the container, the forklift's stroke needs to meet the requirements of the forks extending into and out of the container. In addition, the forklift itself also needs to occupy a certain amount of space, resulting in a large working space required along the length. During the movement, the height of the forks may vibrate, affecting the smoothness of inserting and removing containers. The forks need to extend under the container to lift it. When the gap between containers is small, it is not possible to insert and remove the container in the middle by itself, resulting in poor flexibility.

[0039] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2According to an embodiment of the present invention, a push-pull device is provided, including a frame 1, a limiting member 2, a push-pull member 3, and a driver. The frame 1 has a first direction (shown as X in the figure) and a second direction (shown as Y in the figure) and is used to be mounted on a fork arm. The limiting member 2 is detachably mounted on the frame 1 and is used to position the fork arm in the first direction. The position of the limiting member 2 in the first direction is adjustable. The push-pull member 3 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to connect to a plug box. The driver is mounted on the frame 1 and is connected to the push-pull member 3 in a transmission manner. The driver is capable of driving the push-pull member 3 to move in the first direction.

[0041] The push-pull device can be used in conjunction with a lifting device (such as a forklift, a lifting platform, etc.). The push-pull device first moves into place under the drive of the lifting device, and then connects the insertion box using the push-pull part 3. The insertion box is pulled out or pushed in in the first direction by the push-pull part 3.

[0042] During this process, the frame 1 is placed on the lifting device, which lifts the frame 1 and transports the push-pull device along the second direction, so that the position of the frame 1 is aligned with the placement position of the insert box in the second direction and the third direction (shown as Z in the figure). At this time, the frame 1 is not yet fixed in the first direction. The operator pushes the frame 1 along the first direction and adjusts the position of the frame 1 on the lifting device so that the frame 1 and the placement position of the insert box are aligned, thereby moving it into place in three directions. Then, the position of the frame 1 is positioned and fixed using the limiting member 2, and the insert box is connected using the push-pull member 3, so that the insert box can be pushed into the placement position or pulled out from the placement position.

[0043] First, during the insertion and removal process, the lifting device remains stationary, and when a forklift is used as the lifting device, the forklift is located on one side of the frame 1 in the second direction, thus reducing the working space required in the first direction and lowering the site requirements for insertion and removal operations. Second, since the lifting device remains stationary, the insertion and removal process is not affected by uneven ground, making the position of the push-pull device more stable. Finally, the push-pull component 3 does not need to extend into the gap between the upper and lower insertion boxes to perform the operation, so the push-pull device can insert and remove insertion boxes more flexibly.

[0044] In summary, the push-pull mechanism makes plugging and unplugging the plug box more convenient.

[0045] Understandably, in Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first direction is also the length direction of the insertion box, the second direction is also the width direction of the insertion box, and the third direction is also the height direction of the insertion box. In other embodiments not shown, the first direction, the second direction, the third direction, and the length, width, and height of the insertion box may have different correspondences, which will not be elaborated here.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, the frame 1 has multiple positioning holes 101, which are spaced apart in a first direction and a second direction, and the limiting member 2 is inserted into the positioning holes 101. Using the positioning holes 101 to install the limiting member 2 facilitates the installation and removal of the limiting member 2. After the frame 1 is moved into place, the limiting member 2 is inserted into the positioning hole 101 and abuts against the lifting device in the first direction, so that the frame 1 remains stable in position during the insertion and removal operation.

[0047] For example, when using a forklift as a lifting device, the forklift moves in the second direction, causing the fork arm to extend into the frame 1. After adjusting the position of the frame 1 in the first direction, limiting members 2 are installed. Two sets of limiting members 2, spaced apart in the first direction, abut against both sides of the fork arm, or the limiting members 2 and the frame 1 abut against both sides of the fork arm, thereby clamping the fork arm and locking the position of the frame 1. Multiple limiting members 2 are provided in the second direction, thus forming multiple fulcrums against the fork arm, making the fixation of the frame 1 more stable and reliable.

[0048] Optionally, in some embodiments, the frame 1 includes a plurality of first mounting members 102 arranged in pairs. The two pairs of first mounting members 102 are respectively located at both ends of the frame 1 in the second direction, and the first mounting members 102 have positioning holes 101. Setting the limiting members 2 at both ends of the frame 1 in the second direction can increase the coverage of the fulcrum and improve the fixing effect of the frame 1. At this time, the positioning holes 101 are located at the edge of the frame 1, which also makes it convenient for operators to install and remove the limiting members 2.

[0049] In addition, Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle, the axis of the positioning hole 101 is along the height direction. The positioning hole 101 is a smooth hole. The limiting member 2 is inserted into the positioning hole 101. The cap at the upper end of the limiting member 2 abuts against the first mounting member 102. Under the action of gravity, the limiting member 2 is not easy to accidentally come out of the positioning hole 101 due to shaking or other reasons, which ensures the reliability of the installation of the limiting member 2. When it is necessary to release the fixation of the frame 1, the limiting member 2 can be directly pulled out from the positioning hole 101, making it more convenient to use.

[0050] In other embodiments not shown, the positioning hole 101 may also face other directions, as long as the requirements for installing the limiting member 2 are met; this utility model does not impose any restrictions on this. Besides the positioning hole 101, the limiting member 2 may also be provided by hooks, buckles, or other means.

[0051] To facilitate adjusting the position of frame 1 on the lifting device, optionally, refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the push-pull device further includes a plurality of first rolling elements 4, which are disposed on the frame 1 and spaced apart in a first direction. The first rolling elements 4 are used to abut against the lifting device. The first rolling elements 4 cause rolling friction between the lifting device and the push-pull device, thereby ensuring that the frame 1 can move smoothly relative to the lifting device in the first direction, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the frame 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the push-pull device further includes a reversing wheel 501 and a winch 502. The reversing wheel 501 is disposed at one end of the frame 1 in a first direction, and the winch 502 is disposed at the other end of the frame 1 in a first direction. The winch 502 is wound with a traction rope 503, which is used to connect the push-pull member 3. The driver can drive the winch 502 to wind up and unwind the traction rope 503.

[0053] Understandably, at this time the driver is a rotary motor, and the driver drives the winch 502 to rotate. When inserting or removing, the winch 502 is located at one end away from the insertion box. The traction rope 503 can be connected to the push-pull member 3 at least through the first mode and the second mode.

[0054] In the first mode, the traction rope 503 connects to the push-pull component 3 without passing through the reversing wheel 501, and the traction rope 503 can pull the push-pull component 3 out of the insertion box. In the second mode, refer to... Figure 5 The traction rope 503 first wraps around the reversing wheel 501, and then connects to the push-pull component 3. The traction rope 503 can pull the push-pull component 3 into the insertion box to complete the insertion and removal operation. After the insertion and removal operation is completed, the push-pull component 3 can quickly return to its original position under the traction of the traction rope 503, so as to carry out the next operation.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the frame 1 further includes a second mounting member 103 located at one end where the winch 502 is located, and the traction rope 503 can bypass the push-pull member 3 and be connected to the second mounting member 103. In this case, the traction rope 503 can also be connected to the push-pull member 3 in a third mode and a fourth mode.

[0056] In the third mode, the traction rope 503 first winds around the push-pull member 3 and then connects to the second mounting member 103. The push-pull member 3 functions as a movable pulley. At this time, the stroke of the push-pull member 3 is half the winding length of the winch 502. Therefore, the push-pull member 3 can apply a greater force to the insertion box, thereby meeting the needs of operating insertion boxes with larger mass and size. Similarly, in the fourth mode, refer to... Figure 6 The traction rope 503 first wraps around the reversing wheel 501, then around the push-pull member 3, then wraps around the reversing wheel 501 a second time, and finally connects to the second mounting member 103, so that it can be pushed into the insertion box with greater force.

[0057] Based on this, more pulleys can be added to the push-pull device to design other types of pulley blocks to meet the needs of box insertion operations. The design of the pulley blocks can refer to relevant existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0058] It should be noted that, in addition to being driven by the winch 502, the actuator can also drive the push-pull component 3 in other ways, such as through a screw-slider mechanism, a gear and rack mechanism, belt drive, chain drive, etc., which will not be elaborated here. Compared with other methods, the winch 502 and the traction rope 503 help to reduce the weight of the push-pull device and achieve a lightweight design.

[0059] In some embodiments, the push-pull device further includes a first guide 6, which is disposed on the frame 1 and extends in a first direction. The push-pull member 3 is disposed on the first guide 6 and is movable along the first guide 6.

[0060] For example, refer to Figure 2 The first guide member 6 can use a guide shaft. Multiple guide shafts are arranged side by side in the second direction. The push-pull member 3 is sleeved on the guide shaft, and the guide shaft guides the push-pull member 3 to move smoothly in the first direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, the push-pull device further includes a plurality of second guide members 7, which extend in a first direction and are respectively arranged at both ends of the frame 1 in a second direction.

[0062] For example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The second guide 7 can use a baffle to position the insertion box in the second direction, so as to prevent the insertion box from shifting position during insertion and removal.

[0063] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the top of the baffle is folded outward (that is, folded away from the frame 1 in the second direction), thereby forming a receiving space between the baffles on both sides that gradually narrows from top to bottom, so as to guide the insert box into place when it is hoisted.

[0064] In some embodiments, the push-pull device further includes a plurality of second rolling elements 8 disposed on the frame 1 and spaced apart in a first direction. The second rolling elements 8 are used to support the insert box. The first rolling elements 4 cause rolling friction between the insert box and the push-pull device, thereby ensuring that the insert box can move smoothly relative to the frame 1 in the first direction, facilitating the insertion and removal of the insert box.

[0065] It is understood that the first rolling element 4 and the second rolling element 8 can be balls, rollers, drums or other structures capable of rolling, as long as they can provide rotational freedom with the second direction as the axis and reduce frictional resistance. This utility model does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0066] Secondly, this utility model also provides a box-insertion and handling device, including a lifting device and a push-pull device provided by this utility model, wherein the push-pull device is disposed on the lifting device.

[0067] The box handling equipment includes the push-pull device provided by this utility model, and therefore has the beneficial effects brought by the push-pull device, which will not be described in detail here.

[0068] For example, in some embodiments, the box handling equipment includes a forklift having forks that are inserted into a push-pull device in a second direction, such that the push-pull device is positioned on a lifting device.
