[0042] Embodiments of this application provide a loading system for cylindrical materials, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, the loading system includes a loading platform 10, a mobile conveyor 100, multiple sets of first conveyors 200, multiple sets of second conveyors 300, and an outbound conveyor line.

[0043] The height of the loading platform 10 is adapted to the ground clearance of the container on the container truck 2. The outer side of the loading platform 10 can connect with the rear door of the container. After picking up goods on the second conveyor 300, the handling vehicle (not shown in the figure, such as a forklift / clamping forklift) located on the loading platform 10 can enter the container to unload the goods. The mobile conveyor 100 is set on the ground on one side of the loading platform 10. The mobile conveyor 100 includes a ground rail 110 and a mobile conveyor 120 set on the ground rail 110 and capable of moving along the length of the ground rail 110. The conveying direction of the mobile conveyor 120 is perpendicular to the length of the ground rail 110. Multiple sets of first conveyors 200 are spaced apart on the side of the ground rail 110 away from the loading platform 10. The conveying direction of each first conveyor 200 is perpendicular to the length of the ground rail 110. The cylindrical materials located on the first conveyor 200 are transferred to the flatbed truck 1 by the handling vehicle (not shown in the figure) on the ground. Multiple sets of second conveyors 300 are spaced apart on the side of the ground rail 110 near the loading platform 10. The height of the second conveyors 300 is adapted to the height of the loading platform 10. The conveying direction of each second conveyor 300 is perpendicular to the length direction of the ground rail 110. The cylindrical materials on the second conveyors 300 are transferred to the container truck 2 by a handling vehicle on the loading platform 10. The outbound conveyor line is used to transport cylindrical materials between the mobile conveyor 100 and the warehouse (not shown in the figure). One end of the outbound conveyor line is connected to the mobile conveyor 100, and the other end is used to connect to the warehouse conveyor line. The mobile conveyor 120 moves on the ground rail 110 to connect with different first conveyors 200 and second conveyors 300.

[0044] The mobile conveyor 120 includes a traveling mechanism and a conveyor body mounted on the traveling mechanism. The traveling mechanism includes a carrier and a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a drive motor mounted on the carrier. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are both rolled and supported on the ground rail 110. The drive motor is connected to the driving wheel through a transmission mechanism to drive the driving wheel to rotate, thereby enabling the entire traveling mechanism to move on the ground rail 110. The conveyor body can be a double-row chain conveyor to convey cylindrical materials in an upright position.

[0045] In this embodiment, the loading system includes a loading platform 10, a mobile conveyor 100, multiple sets of first conveyors 200, multiple sets of second conveyors 300, and an outbound conveyor line. The outbound conveyor line is used to output materials from the warehouse. The mobile conveyor 100 is used to transport materials between the outbound conveyor line and the first conveyors 200. The multiple sets of first conveyors 200 are used to store and transport cylindrical materials to be loaded into flatbed trucks 1, and the multiple sets of second conveyors 300 are used to store and transport cylindrical materials to be loaded into container trucks 2. Through the cooperation of the loading platform 10, the mobile conveyor 100, the handling vehicle located on the loading platform 10, the multiple sets of second conveyors 300, and the outbound conveyor line, the loading operation of container trucks 2 can be realized; through the cooperation of the mobile conveyor 100, the handling vehicle located on the ground, the multiple sets of first conveyors 200, and the outbound conveyor line, the loading operation of flatbed trucks 1 can be realized. This design enables simultaneous loading of flatbed trucks 1 and container trucks 2, improving the efficiency of outbound delivery of cylindrical materials from the warehouse.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the outbound conveyor line includes a horizontal material conveyor line 400, a vertical conveyor 500, and a vertical material conveying device 600 arranged in sequence. The end of the horizontal material conveyor line 400 away from the vertical conveyor 500 is used to connect to the warehouse conveyor line. The end of the vertical conveying device away from the vertical conveyor 500 is used to connect to the mobile conveyor 120. The horizontal material conveyor line 400 is used to convey cylindrical materials in a horizontal state. The vertical conveyor 500 is used to flip the cylindrical materials in a horizontal state to a vertical state. The vertical material conveying device 600 is used to convey cylindrical materials in a vertical state.

[0047] Furthermore, a rotary conveyor 700 is provided at the end of the vertical conveyor device away from the vertical machine 500. The rotary conveyor 700 can rotate the cylindrical material in its vertical position by 180° before conveying it. The rotary conveyor 700 can be a combination of an electric turntable and a double-row chain conveyor. The double-row chain conveyor is mounted on the electric turntable, and the rotation of the electric turntable drives the double-row chain conveyor on it to change direction.

[0048] It should be noted that cylindrical materials are stored horizontally in the warehouse. The outbound system keeps the cylindrical materials in a horizontal position when transporting them to ensure safety during the transport process. Before loading, the vertical lifting machine 500 flips the horizontal cylindrical materials to an upright position, making it easier for the subsequent clamping and loading of the materials onto the truck.

[0049] In this embodiment, the loading process is as follows: The horizontal material conveyor line 400 conveys the horizontally placed cylindrical material to the vertical erector 500 in the corresponding loading area. After the cylindrical material is erected on the vertical erector 500, the rotary conveyor 700 determines whether the label on the cylindrical material needs to be rotated according to the type of vehicle being loaded (it should be noted that the label should face the forklift picking direction for easy viewing by staff). Then, the material is conveyed by the mobile conveyor 100 (such as a mobile double-row chain conveyor) to the first conveyor 200 or the second conveyor 300 for buffering. The label of the cylindrical material leaving the warehouse faces the forklift picking direction, is checked by staff, and then picked up by the forklift and loaded onto the vehicle. When loading containers, the loading is completed on the loading platform 10, which is at the same height as the container above the ground. Forklifts pick up goods from the second conveyor 300 and then enter the container to unload the goods. When loading other vehicles such as flatbed trucks 1 that do not need to enter the truck to unload goods, forklifts travel on the ground, pick up goods from the first conveyor 200, and then load the goods on both sides of the flatbed truck 1.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vertical conveyor 500 includes a base 510, an L-shaped tilting frame 520, and a drive mechanism 530. The L-shaped tilting frame 520 includes a long arm and a short arm connected to each other, and the connection between the long arm and the short arm is rotatably mounted on the base 510. The drive mechanism 530 is mounted on the base 510, and the drive end of the drive mechanism 530 is connected to the L-shaped tilting frame 520. Under the drive of the drive mechanism 530, the L-shaped tilting frame 520 can be rotated 90° relative to the base 510 so that the long arm is connected to the horizontal material conveyor line 400 or the short arm is connected to the vertical material conveyor device 600.

[0051] Understandably, when the long arm is connected to the horizontal material conveyor line 400, the horizontal material conveyor line 400 can transport the horizontal cylindrical material to the long arm. As the drive mechanism 530 drives the L-shaped tilting frame 520 to rotate 90° relative to the base 510, the horizontal cylindrical material gradually flips from a lying state to an upright state under the support of the long arm. When the short arm is connected to the vertical material conveyor device 600, the upright cylindrical material falls onto the vertical material conveyor device 600, completing the switching of the cylindrical material from a lying to an upright state.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the vertical material conveying device 600 includes two conveyors arranged side by side and spaced apart; the long arm of the L-shaped tilting frame 520 includes two spaced first forks, and the short arm of the L-shaped tilting frame 520 includes three spaced second forks; when the long arm is connected to the horizontal material conveying line 400, the two first forks are located on opposite sides of the output end of the horizontal material conveying line 400, and both first forks are lower than the conveying surface of the horizontal material conveying line 400; when the short arm is connected to the vertical material conveying device 600, the three second forks are staggered with the two conveyors, and all three second forks are lower than the conveying surface of the vertical material conveying device 600.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the horizontal material conveyor line 400 is used to convey cylindrical materials in a horizontal state. The cylindrical materials lie on the horizontal material conveyor line 400 and are conveyed along the axial direction. The horizontal material conveyor line 400 can be formed by multiple V-type chain plate conveyors connected in series. The panel of the conveyor chain plate is V-shaped, which facilitates efficient and continuous conveying of cylindrical materials.

[0054] Vertical conveying devices are used to convey cylindrical materials that are placed vertically, and can be double-row chain conveyors, double-row roller conveyors, or double-row chain conveyors.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first conveyor 200 and the second conveyor 300 are used to store and convey cylindrical materials in an upright state, and both can be double-row chain plate conveyors, double-row roller conveyors or double-row chain conveyors.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the length and / or number of the first conveyor 200 is adjustable; the length and / or number of the second conveyor 300 is also adjustable. This design allows for flexible additions or subtractions based on specific customer needs, offering greater flexibility.

[0057] Specifically, the capacity of the buffer positions is designed according to the vehicle type and capacity. For example, the loading capacity of a single flatbed truck is generally 30 tons, while that of a single container truck is generally 22-25 tons. The first conveyor on the loading side of the flatbed truck is designed with 200 buffer positions, which is more than the second conveyor on the loading side of the container truck (300 buffer positions). The loading side of the flatbed truck can buffer 4 rolls / unit, while the loading side of the container truck can buffer 2 rolls / unit. This can accommodate parking gaps and alleviate the pressure on the outbound conveying equipment in the front end of the vertical processing.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the loading platform 10 is also equipped with a material storage area 101 for storing cylindrical materials unloaded from the second conveyor 300.

[0059] As designed above, when all the trucks being loaded are containers, the open space on the loading platform 10 can allow temporary storage of at least two truck loads, and the first conveyor 200 on the side of the flatbed truck can also be used as a buffer for outbound goods, which are then transferred to the container loading terminal via the mobile conveyor 100 during loading.

[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
