[0002] Automated loading systems play a crucial role in improving transportation efficiency and reducing labor costs. However, the layout of existing traditional loading equipment has certain limitations and is no longer suitable for the rapidly developing intelligent automated loading systems. The existing layout mainly suffers from the following shortcomings: 1. Rigid layout Traditional loading systems use fixed equipment locations, which cannot dynamically adapt to container vehicles of different sizes. Adding new vehicle types requires a complete redesign of the layout, resulting in high modification costs. The layout also cannot compensate for vehicle parking deviations in real time, requiring manual calibration of the vehicle's posture, which is inefficient and risky.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] This utility model provides an automated loading system for container trucks. By optimizing the loading system, a modular structural design is formed, and an automated container truck layout scheme with high coordination characteristics is achieved. Through a zone linkage mechanism and process standardization, problems such as poor vehicle compatibility, low operating efficiency, and high safety risks are solved.

[0021] Figures 1-2 The diagram shown is an overall structural schematic of an embodiment of the automated loading system for container trucks according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-2 The main structure of this embodiment includes: parking area components, material buffer area components, and material preparation area components.

[0022] The parking area components are used for cargo vehicle information recognition, vehicle body adjustment and straightening, vehicle limit and anti-rollover, cargo box specification detection, and reversing guidance. Specifically, the parking area components include license plate recognition module 1, shunting platform module 3, parking barrier module 4, vehicle body vision detection module 11, and vehicle guidance facility module 12. In practical use, the license plate recognition module 1 identifies the loading vehicle information, the shunting platform module 3 adjusts and straightens the vehicle body, the parking barrier module 4 limits the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away, and the vehicle body visual inspection module 11 and the vehicle guidance facility module 12 respectively perform cargo box specification detection and reversing guidance.

[0023] The material buffer area component is used for buffering loading materials, detecting the vehicle body parking angle, automatically lifting and laterally moving to dock with the car body, and automatically loading materials. Specifically, the material buffer area component includes an automatic loading module 5. In practical use, the automatic loading module 5 completes the tasks of buffering loading materials, detecting the vehicle's parking angle, automatically lifting and lowering and moving left and right to dock with the carriage, and automatically loading materials.

[0024] The material preparation area components are used in conjunction with the parking area components and the material buffer area components. Specifically, the material preparation area components include a stacking and shaping machine 6, a stacking conveyor 7, a transverse conveyor 8, a lifting conveyor 9, and a preparation conveyor 10. In practical use, the core layout is divided into a parking area, a material buffer (loading execution) area, and a material preparation area. The specific spatial relationship is as follows: material preparation area → material buffer (loading execution) area → parking area in a linear progression. The warehouse's upper-level system activates the control system based on the outbound loading order information, transporting the materials for that order to the preparation area of ​​the loading system. After the material preparation area adjusts the materials to a suitable loading state, it is transported to the material buffer (loading execution) area. The parking area is for truck parking. After the vehicle parks, it docks with the loading equipment. Once the vehicle and materials are ready, the loading machine loads the prepared materials into the truck bed. The specific process is as follows (processes 1 and 2 are not sequential and can be performed simultaneously): 1. Truck Parking: The truck's rear doors are opened and secured beforehand in front of the parking area. As the truck reverses into the loading system's parking area, the license plate recognition module 1 identifies the vehicle information and transmits it to the loading system. The system verifies that the vehicle matches the material information of the outbound order. If the system finds a match, it opens the barrier, and the vehicle continues to reverse into the parking space along the vehicle guidance module 12 until its rear is stopped at the parking barrier module 4 to prevent collision with the equipment. The locking device on the parking barrier module 4 secures the vehicle to prevent it from rolling forward (or the driver places tire limiters). The cargo box detection device on the automatic loading module 5 automatically detects the parking status (under different operating conditions, the parking status can also be automatically detected by the vehicle body vision detection module 11). If the vehicle body is tilted relative to the loading machine, or if the automatic loading conditions are not met, the shunting platform module 3 moves the vehicle's rear wheels left / right until the vehicle body stops properly. At this point, the container truck parking is complete, and the system prompts the driver to leave the loading area and proceed to the driver's rest room to wait for loading. The vehicle body visual inspection module 11 detects the specifications of the cargo box and feeds back the calculated cargo box dimensions (such as the inner length and inner width of the cargo box) to the loading system. The loading system automatically adjusts the loading stroke of the loading machine's onboard plate.

[0025] 2. Material Preparation: The upper-level system transports goods from the warehouse to the corresponding loading system for preparation based on orders. The lifting conveyor 9 raises the incoming materials to the conveying height of the preparation conveyor 10 (generally, the height of the conveying equipment in the warehouse is relatively low, resulting in a significant height difference with the loading surface of the vehicles, hence the configuration of the lifting conveyor 9), and the preparation conveyor 10 continues to transport the materials. The transverse conveyor 8 sequentially transfers the incoming materials to the stacking conveyor 7, which has two stations, allowing two stacks of materials to be arranged side-by-side. The stacking and shaping machine 6 clamps and shapes the sides of the side-by-side materials to prevent subsequent materials from exceeding the width of the truck bed during loading. Safety railings 2 surround the equipment to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the operating area and to prevent injuries from the equipment.

[0026] 3. Material Buffering and Automated Loading: Initially, the conveyor surface of the automated loading module 5 is at the same height as the front-end equipment. The two stacks of material, after being stacked and shaped, are buffered on the loading plate of the automated loading module 5. Once enough material for this order is buffered, the equipment performs lifting, lateral, and other actions to connect with the loading carriage. The automated loading module 5 automatically extends a certain distance according to the instructions of the loading system, loading the material into the carriage to complete the loading. After the driver in the driver's rest area sees the screen indicating that the vehicle has been loaded, they proceed to drive the vehicle away from the parking area. The license plate recognition module 1 lowers the barrier, and the driver closes the door and leaves the area. The host system continues to issue instructions based on subsequent loading orders, and the automated loading system repeatedly checks the carriage, prepares the goods, buffers, and loads.

[0027] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
