Abstract

This utility model discloses a multi-locking transfer robot, comprising a slewing support fixedly connected to the forks, a slewing reducer fixedly connected to the slewing support, and a rotating bracket fixedly connected to the drive end of the slewing reducer. The rotating bracket is symmetrically arranged on both radial sides of a steamer. Two symmetrically arranged electric push rods, perpendicular to the axial direction of the steamer, are mounted on the rotating bracket. Locking pins are mounted on the drive ends of the electric push rods. Corresponding docking brackets are mounted on the sides of the steamer. The locking pins are parallel to the drive rods of the electric push rods and, under the action of the electric push rods, are inserted into or detached from the docking brackets. The symmetrical arrangement of the locking pins on both radial sides of the steamer, perpendicular to the axial direction of the steamer, avoids stress concentration problems caused by coaxial mounting with the rotating shaft. During the flipping process, the torque is shared by the locking pins on both sides, resulting in more balanced force distribution and significantly reducing the risk of bending or breaking of the locking pins, thus improving the service life and operational reliability of the equipment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, specifically a multi-locking transfer robot. Background Technology

[0002] In the baijiu brewing process, distillation is one of the core production steps. It typically involves placing an empty still at the distillation station, then feeding the raw materials for distillation; after distillation, the still needs to be transferred to the next station for unloading. Traditional still transfers rely heavily on manual labor or simple handling equipment, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and poses safety hazards.

[0003] To improve automation, a mechanical locking mechanism is used to grasp, transport, and tilt the steamer pot. Chinese Patent CN118495186A discloses a multi-functional transfer robot that uses a locking assembly to dock with the hopper. Specifically, a locking pin driven by an electric cylinder is inserted into docking brackets on both sides of the hopper to complete the transmission connection between the tilting mechanism and the hopper. The driving assembly for the locking pin includes an electric cylinder parallel to the hopper's axis, which drives the locking pin axially via a hinged T-shaped connecting rod.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have obvious drawbacks: 1. The locking pins are arranged in two symmetrical positions and are set coaxially with the rotating shaft of the hopper. This causes all the torque to be borne by the locking pins during the turning process, which can easily lead to stress concentration, causing the locking pins to bend or break, affecting the reliability and service life of the equipment. 2. The drive assembly has a complex structure, relying on multiple components such as electric cylinders and T-shaped connecting rods for hinged transmission, resulting in high manufacturing costs and difficult maintenance; 3. The electric cylinder, which is parallel to the hopper axis, occupies a large vertical space, which restricts the layout space of other components and is not conducive to the compact design and mobility of the equipment. 4. The rotation drive method of the T-type connecting rod is not stable enough. Wear of the hinge point or movement deviation can easily lead to inaccurate axial movement of the locking pin, which in turn affects the reliability of docking and operational safety.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a steamer transfer locking mechanism with a more reasonable structure, more balanced force, more stable drive, and optimized spatial layout to improve the reliability, economy, and adaptability of automated transfer equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the technical problems in the background art, this utility model discloses a multi-locking transfer robot.

[0007] This utility model provides a multi-locking transfer robot, including a slewing support fixedly connected to the forks, a slewing reducer fixedly connected to the slewing support, and a rotating bracket fixedly connected to the drive end of the slewing reducer. The rotating bracket is symmetrically arranged on both radial sides of the pot, and two symmetrically arranged electric push rods perpendicular to the axis of the pot are provided on the rotating bracket. The drive end of the electric linear actuator is equipped with a locking pin; The side of the steamer is equipped with a docking bracket for the corresponding rotating bracket; The locking pin is parallel to the drive rod of the electric push rod, and is inserted into the rotating bracket and docking bracket or disengaged from the docking bracket under the action of the electric push rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the electric actuator is installed at the lower end of the rotating bracket; the drive end of the electric actuator is connected to the outer end of the locking pin via a connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer end of the locking pin, and the other end is hinged to the drive end of the electric push rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide sleeve is provided on the rotating bracket; the locking pin is always inserted into the guide sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating bracket has fixed plates extending towards the steamer at both ends; guide sleeves are provided on the outside of the fixed plates; the rotating bracket also has a support plate adjacent to and parallel to the fixed plates; and the two ends of the docking bracket are inserted between the fixed plates and the support plates.

[0012] Furthermore, when the rotating bracket and the docking bracket are connected, the locking pin is inserted into the docking bracket and the plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating bracket is also equipped with a locking block that extends axially toward the steamer; the docking bracket is equipped with locking holes for engaging the locking block.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the card block is shaped like a frustum.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The locking pins are symmetrically arranged on both radial sides of the steamer and perpendicular to the steamer's axis, avoiding stress concentration problems caused by coaxial placement with the rotating shaft. During the overturning process, the torque is shared by the locking pins on both sides, resulting in more balanced force distribution. This significantly reduces the risk of the locking pins bending or breaking, improving the equipment's service life and operational reliability.

[0016] 2. The locking pin is directly driven by an electric push rod, eliminating the need for complex articulated transmission components such as electric cylinders and T-shaped connecting rods. The structure is simple and compact, reducing the number of parts and assembly complexity, which not only reduces manufacturing costs but also facilitates daily maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0017] 3. The electric push rod directly drives the locking pin to move axially, with precise movement path and high stability. This avoids wear deviation and inaccurate movement caused by articulated transmission, ensuring the reliability of the locking pin and the docking bracket, and significantly improving the docking success rate and operational safety.

[0018] 4. The electric push rod is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the pot and parallel to the bottom of the rotating bracket, thereby reducing the vertical space occupied by the electric push rod and leaving more layout space for other functional components. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a multi-locking transfer robot, including a slewing support 16 fixedly connected to the forks 1, a slewing reducer 2 fixedly connected to the slewing support 16, and a rotating bracket 3 fixedly connected to the drive end of the slewing reducer 2. The rotating bracket 3 is symmetrically arranged on both radial sides of the pot 4. The forks 1 are two symmetrically arranged horizontally and are three-stage forks 1, capable of extension and retraction. The forks 1 are mounted on a lift 14, allowing them to rise and fall vertically. The lift 14 is mounted on a horizontally moving linear drive device 15, enabling the lift 14 to move horizontally, perpendicular to the forks 1.

[0023] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the rotating bracket 3 includes a horizontally arranged base plate. A vertical plate, fixedly connected to the drive end of the rotary reducer 2, is vertically connected to the end of the base plate furthest from the pot 4. Two symmetrically arranged connecting plates are vertically connected to the lower end of the base plate. Electric push rods 5, parallel to the base plate, are mounted on the outer side of the connecting plates, with the drive ends of the electric push rods 5 facing outwards.

[0024] The rotating bracket 3 is further equipped with fixing plates 10 at both ends, connecting the base plate and the vertical plate. An integrally formed guide sleeve 9 is provided on the outer side of the fixing plate 10, and a locking pin 6 is inserted into the guide sleeve 9. The two ends of the connecting rod 8 are respectively connected to the outer end of the locking pin 6 and the drive end of the electric push rod 5. With this configuration, the locking pin 6 can move axially under the drive of the electric push rod 5. Moreover, the locking pin 6 is always inserted into the guide sleeve 9, ensuring both the stability of the locking pin 6's movement and preventing it from falling out. One end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the locking pin 6, and the other end is hinged to the drive end of the electric push rod 5. The hinge provides a degree of rotational freedom, allowing the connecting rod 8 to self-adjust within a certain angle, perfectly absorbing these static errors and ensuring smooth assembly and movement of the electric push rod 5 and the locking pin 6 even with installation deviations.

[0025] The side of the steamer 4 is provided with a docking bracket 7 corresponding to the rotating bracket 3, and the two ends of the docking bracket 7 are provided with locking plates. When the docking bracket 7 is connected to the rotating bracket 3, the locking plates are set between the fixed plates 10 and are located close to the fixed plates 10. The locking pin 6 passes through the fixed plate 10 and the locking plates in sequence under the action of the electric push rod 5.

[0026] The base plate also has a support plate 11 adjacent to and parallel to the fixed plate 10; the clamping plates at both ends of the docking bracket 7 are inserted between the fixed plate 10 and the support plate 11. This arrangement limits the installation of the clamping plates and improves their positional accuracy. Moreover, the locking pin 6 is inserted into the support plate 11, so that when the locking pin 6 is subjected to the tension of the pot 4, its two ends are supported by the fixed plate 10 and the support plate 11 respectively, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the locking pin 6.

[0027] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a raised rectangular locking block 12 is provided at the upper end of the base plate, and the docking bracket 7 is provided with a rectangular locking hole 13 for engaging the locking block 12. With this configuration, the connection strength between the docking bracket 7 and the rotating bracket 3 is higher, and the relative positional accuracy is also higher. Moreover, the top of the locking block 12 is designed in a frustum shape, so that when the locking block 12 engages with the locking hole 13, it can play a guiding role.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the forks 1 need to transfer the empty still 4 to the distillation station, the following steps are performed in sequence: 1. Drive the linear drive device 15 to move the still 4 to a position directly opposite the distillation station; 2. Extend the forks 1 so that the still 4 moves directly above the distillation station; 3. The lift 14 drives the forks 1 to descend so that the still 4 abuts against the support point; 4. Activate the electric push rod 5 so that the locking pin 6 disengages from the docking bracket 7; 5. The lift 14 continues to drive the forks 1 to descend so that the locking block 12 disengages from the docking bracket 7, thus completely disengaging the rotating bracket from the docking bracket 7.

[0029] When the forklift 1 needs to move the still 4, which has completed distillation, to the next station for unloading, the following steps are performed in sequence: 1. The forklift 1 moves the rotating bracket 3 to directly below the docking support 7; 2. The lifting mechanism 14 drives the rotating bracket 3 to rise, so that the locking block 12 engages with the locking hole 13; 3. The electric push rod 5 is activated, so that the locking pin 6 is inserted into the docking support 7; 4. The lifting mechanism 14 drives the forklift 1 to rise, so that the still 4 rises a certain distance away from the support point; 5. Under the combined action of the retraction of the forklift 1 and the driving of the linear drive device 15, the still 4 is moved to the unloading station; 6. The rotary reducer 2 is activated, driving the still 4 to rotate 180° to complete the unloading.

[0030] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this embodiment are: 1. The locking pins 6 are symmetrically arranged on both radial sides of the pot 4 and perpendicular to the axial direction of the pot 4, avoiding stress concentration problems caused by coaxial arrangement with the rotating shaft. During the flipping process, the torque is shared by the locking pins 6 on both sides, resulting in more balanced force distribution and significantly reducing the risk of bending or breaking of the locking pins 6, thus improving the service life and operational reliability of the equipment. 2. The locking pins 6 are directly driven by an electric push rod 5, eliminating the need for complex articulated transmission components such as electric cylinders and T-shaped connecting rods 8. The structure is simple and compact, reducing the number of parts and assembly complexity, which not only reduces manufacturing costs but also facilitates daily maintenance and troubleshooting. 3. The electric push rod 5 directly drives the axial movement of the locking pins 6, ensuring precise movement path and high stability. This avoids wear deviations and inaccurate movement problems caused by articulated transmission, ensuring the reliability of the insertion of the locking pins 6 and the docking bracket 7, and significantly improving the docking success rate and operational safety. 4. The electric push rod 5 is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the pot 4 and parallel to the bottom of the rotating bracket 3, thereby reducing the vertical space occupied by the electric push rod 5 and leaving more layout space for other functional components.
