Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container loading and unloading technology, and in particular to a deviation measuring instrument for loading containers. Background Technology

[0002] When loading containers onto train carriages, the containers must first be hoisted into the carriages. Then, a straightening vehicle is used to adjust the container's position within the carriage, ensuring a predetermined distance between it and the carriage's side walls to prevent uneven loading. Traditionally, measuring container spacing requires workers to climb ladders to the top of the train carriage and manually measure the distance between the container and the carriage in all directions using a measuring tape. The straightening vehicle then pulls the container to adjust the distance to the appropriate position. This method has three main problems: the accuracy of the measurement is easily affected by human factors, the work efficiency is low, and the high-altitude climbing operation poses safety hazards. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a deviation measuring instrument for loading containers includes a housing 1, a deviation measuring rod 2, a limit baffle 3, and a micro switch 4, wherein:

[0028] A limiting baffle 3 is fixed on the outer wall of the outer shell 1. In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 has dimensions of 250mm × 80.3mm × 70mm and is made of aluminum alloy.

[0029] One end of the outer casing 1 is provided with a sliding hole, and the deflection rod 2 slides through the sliding hole and is fitted inside the outer casing 1.

[0030] A fixed baffle 11 is fixed inside the outer shell 1, and a reset baffle 23 is fixed on the outer periphery of the measuring rod 2. A reset spring 24 is sleeved on the outer side of the measuring rod 2. The reset spring 24 is located inside the outer shell 1. One end of the reset spring 24 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and the other end abuts against the reset baffle 23, pressing the reset baffle 23 onto the fixed baffle 11.

[0031] The micro switch 4 is provided inside the housing 1, and the probe 2 is provided with a trigger part 21. When the trigger part 21 slides with the probe 2, it can contact the actuating end of the micro switch 4. The micro switch 4 is communicatively connected to the warning unit. Preferably, the end of the trigger part 21 is provided with a rounded corner or a bevel to reduce damage to the actuating end of the micro switch 4.

[0032] The working method of the deviation measuring instrument used for loading containers is as follows:

[0033] With the help of the limiting baffle 3, the outer shell 1 is pressed against the side wall of the carriage 6. The measuring rod 2 measures the distance between the container 5 inside the carriage 6 and the side wall of the carriage 6. The container 5 is moved within the carriage 6. During the movement of the container 5, the outer wall of the container 5 presses against the end of the measuring rod 2. As the container 5 continues to move, it compresses the measuring rod 2, causing it to move inside the outer shell 1 and compress the return spring 24. The trigger part 21 moves along with the measuring rod 2. When the trigger part 21 contacts the actuating end of the micro switch 4, the micro switch 4 is triggered. The micro switch 4 triggers the warning unit, indicating that the container 5 has moved into place. Then, the outer shell 1 is removed from the side wall of the carriage 6, the return spring 24 returns to its original position, and the measuring rod 2 is pushed back to its original position. In this way, with the assistance of the container loading measuring instrument, the container 5 can be moved to a preset position so that the distance between it and the side wall of the carriage 6 meets the requirements.

[0034] Preferably, the end of the measuring rod 2 is fixed with a rubber pad 22, which acts as a buffer when the container 5 comes into contact with the measuring rod 2, protecting the measuring rod 2 and extending its service life.

[0035] Preferably, the micro switch in this embodiment is a prior art pressure-sensitive micro switch, and the warning unit is a signal light or a buzzer or a combination of both. The signal light and the buzzer are prior art. The control method in this embodiment is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. This document is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, and the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.

[0036] Preferably, in order to meet the measurement requirements of different spacings, the tail of the measuring rod 2 extends out of the outer shell 1 and is connected to a limit nut 12 by a thread. The trigger part 21 is a threaded sleeve connected to the measuring rod 2 by a thread. The limit nut 12 can adjust the relative position of the measuring rod 2 and the outer shell 1. Since the relative position of the micro switch 4 and the outer shell 1 is fixed, the relative position of the threaded sleeve 21 and the measuring rod 2 needs to be adjusted after the measuring rod 2 is adjusted.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds a first baffle 8 to the embodiment 1 to fix the outer shell 1 to the side wall of the carriage 6.

[0039] The bottom of the outer shell 1 is fixed with a first baffle 8. The first baffle 8 is arranged parallel to the fixed baffle 11. In use, the outer shell 1 is fixed on the carriage 6, and the side wall of the carriage 6 is located between the first baffle 8 and the fixed baffle 11.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment adds a support rod 7 based on embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.

[0042] The limiting baffle 3 is provided with a support rod 7 on one side. More preferably, the support rod 7 is a telescopic structure that can be adapted to different working conditions.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the support rod 7 includes a first rod body 71 and a second rod body 72. The outer periphery of the first rod body 71 is slidably connected to the inner ring of the second rod body 72. The first rod body 71 is provided with a plurality of spring-driven positioning pins 73 along the axial direction. The second rod body 72 is provided with a plurality of pin holes along the axial direction. The positioning pins 73 pass through the pin holes to position the relative positions of the first rod body 71 and the second rod body 72. One end of the first rod body 71 is hinged to one side of the limiting baffle 3, and one end of the second rod body 72 is hinged to the upper end of the base 9.

[0044] When a longer support rod 7 is needed, the first rod 71 is pulled out from the second rod 72, and the positioning pin 73 is inserted into the pin hole to fix the position. When a shorter support rod 7 is needed, the positioning pin 73 is pressed, and the first rod 71 is inserted into the second rod 72. In this embodiment, the support rod 7 is made of stainless steel, is 326mm long, and has a telescopic distance of 30mm.

[0045] Preferably, the side of the outer casing 1 is equipped with a device switch and a fast charging port. Combined with a wireless alarm, it can be placed inside the lane-correcting vehicle to help the driver understand the spacing. Compared to traditional manual measurement methods, this device adopts a non-contact intelligent measurement solution. This reduces the frequency of manual intervention by 75% compared to traditional methods, simultaneously eliminating the safety hazards of high-altitude climbing measurements, achieving a dual improvement in detection efficiency and operational safety.

[0046] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0047] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
