Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed bucket conveying technology, and in particular relates to an online conveying and unhooking device for feed buckets used in aquaculture. Background Technology

[0002] An overhead conveyor, also known as a suspended conveyor, is a continuous material conveying device in space, consisting of tracks, traction chains, lifting devices, and drive units. This equipment achieves three-dimensional closed-loop conveying via overhead tracks, and the accumulation type can achieve material accumulation and storage through a stop mechanism.

[0003] With social progress and development, overhead chain conveyors are widely used in electroplating, spraying, assembly lines, meat processing, and feed conveying. Currently, in feed conveying production lines for aquaculture, the process generally includes material addition, material feeding, and feed bin cleaning, which are carried out in a cyclical manner. In the aforementioned material addition process, considering that the material in the feed bin needs to be added again after the initial addition, and the feed bin is always placed on the conveyor line, stopping the machine to remove the feed bin would obviously affect the work progress. Furthermore, adding material to the feed bin on the conveyor line also needs to consider the quantitative requirements of the material, which is inconvenient and affects the subsequent conveying and feeding process, presenting certain drawbacks. Therefore, we provide an online unhooking device for feed bins in aquaculture that can unhook the feed bins during the conveying process, so that the filling or cleaning of the feed bins can be carried out smoothly, meeting the usage requirements of the conveying production line and improving the work process.

[0012] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0013] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0014] Examples, such as Figures 1-5As shown, an online conveying and unhooking device for aquaculture feed hopper 92 includes an unhooking device body, which includes a workbench 1. The workbench 1 is placed on the ground to ensure the stability of the equipment. A circumferentially adjustable rotating disk 2 is installed above the workbench 1. The rotating disk 2 can rotate relative to the workbench 1 in the circumferential direction. Its rotation can be achieved by the cooperation of a gear and rack or by driving the rotation using a hollow rotating platform, etc. Of course, the operation mode of the above-mentioned equipment can be known by those skilled in the art, and the specific working principle and operation mode will not be described in detail. The circumferential rotation of the rotating disk 2 can drive the upright frame 3 to adjust in different directions to meet the needs of multiple usage positions. Furthermore, an upright frame 3 is installed above the rotating disk 2, and a vertical lifting component 4 is installed on one side of the upright frame 3. The vertical lifting component 4 can drive the device to move and adjust in the vertical direction, providing a prerequisite for the loading and unloading process of the feed hopper 92. The moving end is equipped with a robotic arm 5. Of course, the specific working principle and working method of the robotic arm 5 mentioned in this embodiment are all existing mature and commonly used technical means, which can be effectively known by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. The output end of the robotic arm 5 is equipped with a hook-off device. The hook-off device includes a connecting plate 6 connected to the output end of the robotic arm 5. One side of the connecting plate 6 is equipped with an L-shaped mounting plate 7, and one side of the mounting plate 7 is equipped with a hook-off assembly 8. In other words, the hook-off device can move and adjust with the robotic arm 5 in multiple positions to meet different usage requirements. The connecting plate 6 and the mounting plate 7 can connect the robotic arm 5 and the hook-off assembly 8 together to ensure its stability. At the same time, the hook-off device can move in multiple directions. With the cooperation of the aforementioned movable equipment components, it approaches the workpiece in the material barrel 92 and rises vertically to lift the material barrel 92, so that the material barrel 92 is detached from the conveying equipment to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processing work. In the above process: the rotating disk 2 can drive the upright frame 3 to rotate circumferentially in the horizontal direction, adjusting the position of the equipment. The robotic arm 5 can drive the unhooking device to more adaptably approach the conveying equipment, providing convenient conditions for removing the material bucket 92. With the cooperation of the aforementioned equipment components, the unhooking device approaches the workpiece in the material bucket 92 and lifts it vertically, thus lifting the material bucket 92 and detaching it from the conveying equipment, ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processing. This device is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can perform online unhooking of the material bucket 92 during the conveying process, so that the filling or cleaning of the material bucket 92 can be carried out smoothly, meeting the usage requirements of the conveying production line and improving the work process.

[0015] To facilitate the removal of the material bucket 92 from the conveying equipment, the unhooking assembly 8 includes a slide rail 81 installed within the mounting plate 7. A slider 82 is mounted on the slide rail 81, and a lifting plate 83 is mounted on the slider 82. A servo cylinder 84 is installed on one side of the upper part of the mounting plate 7. An L-shaped lifting rod 85 is installed at the output end of the servo cylinder 84, penetrating the mounting plate 7 and connected to one side of the lifting plate 83. Two L-shaped carrier plates 86 are installed side-by-side at the end of the lifting plate 83. A guide plate 87 is installed on one side of each carrier plate 86, and the two guide plates 87 are arranged in a V-shape and fixedly connected to the carrier plates 86. Specifically, when the servo cylinder 84 operates, it drives the lifting rod 85 to adjust vertically, acting on the lifting plate 83 and causing it and the slider 82 to move vertically relative to the slide rail 81. The L-shaped design of the carrier plates 86 at the end of the lifting plate 83, when used in conjunction with the lifting plate 83, allows for vertical adjustment. A gap exists between the right-angled edge and the carrier plate 86, facilitating its cooperation with the material holding assembly 9. The upper side of one side of the carrier plate 86 can be tilted to ensure convenient placement of the hanging rod 91. A guide plate 87 is positioned along the long side of the carrier plate 86. The gap between the two guide plates 87 serves two purposes: firstly, it limits the contact between the guide plate 87 and the hanging rod 91, preventing deviation; secondly, it provides a prerequisite for the smooth placement of the hanging rod 91. In other words, the interaction of the rotating disk 2, the vertical lifting assembly 4, and the robotic arm 5 drives the unhooking device to move with the material holding assembly 9 on the equipment, accelerating the adjustment of the unhooking assembly 8 to a position below the hanging rod 91 of the material holding assembly 9. Then, the servo cylinder 84 is controlled to operate, raising the lifting plate 83 to act on the material holding assembly 9, lifting it to a certain height and detaching it from the upper hanging component. The upper hanging component continues to operate, and the material bucket 92 is removed. The material bucket 92 is then placed in a suitable workstation, awaiting subsequent processing to meet usage requirements.

[0016] To ensure the device's practicality, a feeding assembly 9 is placed on the unhooking assembly 8. The feeding assembly 9 includes a hanging rod 91, with a feed hopper 92 positioned below the hanging rod 91. Specifically, the feed hopper 92 is a feed hopper 92 assembly used in existing aquaculture techniques for spreading feed by a dispensing method. The hanging rod 91 is positioned above the feed hopper 92. Regarding the hanging rod 91, as... Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, it includes a rod with a truncated cone-shaped locking block at its upper end, which engages with the locking plate 11. The two are stably positioned in a locking manner, providing a limiting effect. Furthermore, a support rod is positioned below the rod, perpendicular to it, and adapted to the inner side of the L-shaped support plate 86. That is, when the unhooking assembly 8 moves with the material bucket 92 and is positioned below the rod, the unhooking assembly 8 rises, and the support plate 86 engages with the outer side of the support rod, lifting it. At this time, due to the weight of the material bucket 92, the unhooking assembly 8 can lift the material bucket 92 vertically, causing the upper part of the hanging rod 91 to detach from the locking plate 11. The material holding assembly 9 continues to convey, while the material bucket 92 can be removed. Further, an upper hanging component is positioned above the material holding assembly 9, including a conveyor 10. Below the conveyor 10 is a Y-shaped locking plate 11. For the established upper hanging component... This is a component in existing suspended chain conveyor equipment. It is hung on, for example, a steel cable or a conveyor rail 81. Of course, it is always connected to the conveyor equipment. The set-up card plate 11 has a concave design, while the plate below it has a butterfly design. The middle slot also has a zigzag arc design, and one end of the slot has a trapezoidal design, which can be adapted to engage with the inverted conical card block on the hanging rod 91. During normal conveying, the card block engages in the slot and is stably placed with the help of the automatic movement of the bucket. When performing the unhooking action, the card block can be easily raised vertically a certain distance to disengage. The above design provides convenient conditions for the insertion and removal of the hanging rod 91 on the bucket 92. When performing the unhooking operation, the unhooking device is placed below the hanging rod 91 and lifts it so that it can be disengaged from the card plate 11. The upper hanging part continues to move forward, and the bucket 92 is removed, which greatly improves the functionality of the device.

[0017] To improve the rationality of the device setup and ensure the adaptability of the equipment for removing the material bucket 92 during the conveying process, the vertical lifting assembly 4 includes a slide bar 41 located on one side of the upright 3. A sliding block 42 is provided on the slide bar 41. For the vertical lifting movement of the sliding block 42 relative to the slide bar 41 with the robotic arm 5, a chain-type or equivalent lifting method can be used to achieve lifting adjustment, allowing the device to move freely vertically. This drives the equipment closer to the material bucket 92 to remove it, and also allows the removed material bucket 92 to be placed on the ground or conveying equipment, ensuring the smooth operation of material addition. Furthermore, the robotic arm 5 includes a mounting base 51, which is connected to the slide bar 41. The mounting base 51 is connected to the sliding block 42. A first rotating arm 52 is provided on the mounting base 51, and a second rotating arm 53 is provided on the first rotating arm 52. The mounting base 51 is connected to the sliding block 42 and can be raised and lowered vertically. It can also rotate circumferentially with the support frame 3 driven by the rotating disk 2, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the device. As for the first rotating arm 52 and the second rotating arm 53, the former can be rotated and adjusted relative to the mounting base 51, and the latter can be rotated and adjusted relative to the end of the first rotating arm 52. The cooperation between the two can drive the unhooking device to be adjusted in different positions, especially to move and adjust in accordance with the conveying process of the material bucket 92, so as to ensure the smooth realization of the unhooking operation.

[0018] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
