Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of warehousing and logistics technology, specifically relating to a large cargo transfer platform for feeding materials. Background Technology

[0002] Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) are warehouse systems that utilize high-rise racking, advanced warehousing machinery (such as stacker cranes), and automated control systems, managed and controlled by computers. They enable the automatic storage and retrieval of goods without direct manual handling. A complete AS / RS hardware system includes: high-rise racking, stacker cranes, inbound and outbound conveyor systems, and detection and identification systems. The inbound and outbound conveyor system is the "artery" connecting the AS / RS to the external work area. Small items are typically transported automatically to or from the stacker crane interface using AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) or AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), while large items are usually transported by forklifts.

[0003] In actual operation, to avoid situations where the loading / unloading device holds goods while waiting for the stacker crane to store them, or where the unloading stacker crane holds goods with its forks while waiting for the unloading device to retrieve them, thus affecting the overall storage and retrieval efficiency and throughput of the automated warehouse, a loading transfer platform is usually set up between the loading / unloading device and the stacker crane for temporary storage of goods. The loading transfer platform typically moves with the goods to the stacker crane's retrieval point. When the storage and retrieval points are far apart, the round trip of the loading transfer platform takes a long time, and it cannot store goods during the movement, affecting feeding efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a large loading transfer platform for feeding to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a large cargo transfer platform for feeding materials, so as to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a large cargo transfer platform for feeding materials, comprising: The mounting frame has protective baffles on both sides, a position detection sensor on the top of the protective baffles, a mounting column on one side of the mounting frame, a button box on the top of the mounting column, and an anti-collision block at the bottom of the feeding end of the mounting frame. A feeding frame is provided inside the mounting frame. A chain conveyor is provided on the top of the feeding frame, and an electrical distribution box is provided inside the feeding frame. An adjustable base is provided at the bottom of the support columns of the mounting frame and the feeding frame.

[0006] Furthermore, at least four chain conveyors are provided, which are parallel to each other and equidistant from each other. The height of each chain conveyor is not less than the height of the mounting frame, and the drive chain of the chain conveyor is made of manganese steel, chromium-molybdenum steel or nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel.

[0007] Furthermore, the distribution box is connected to the upper-level workshop distribution cabinet via a cable, and the distribution box is electrically connected to the position detection sensor, the button box, and the chain conveyor.

[0008] Furthermore, the adjustable base is fixed to the ground by bolts and connected to the support columns of its corresponding mounting frame and feeding frame by threaded adjustment structure. The bottom of the adjustable base is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad.

[0009] Furthermore, at least two position detection sensors are provided, and the two position detection sensors are respectively fixed at both ends of the mounting frame. The position detection sensors are non-contact photoelectric sensors.

[0010] Furthermore, the button box is equipped with three function buttons: start, stop, and emergency stop, and the button surface has an anti-slip design.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two anti-collision blocks, both made of cast iron and fixed to the ground with bolts. The distance between the two anti-collision blocks is the same as the wheel spacing of the forklift.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: This large-scale cargo transfer platform for feeding is advanced in design, compact in structure, easy to use, and reliable in operation. Its application in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) can effectively improve the feeding efficiency of AS / RS, reduce the waiting time of AGV / AMR and stacker cranes, and improve the storage and retrieval efficiency and throughput capacity of the entire warehouse system, resulting in significant economic benefits and practical value.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The large cargo transfer station shown includes: Mounting frame 100, with protective baffles 101 on both sides of mounting frame 100, and a position detection sensor 102 on the top of protective baffles 101. Mounting column 103 is provided on one side of mounting frame 100, with a button box 104 on the top of mounting column 103. Anti-collision block 105 is provided at the bottom of the feeding end of mounting frame 100. The feeding frame 200 is located inside the mounting frame 100. A chain conveyor 201 is provided on the top of the feeding frame 200, and an electrical distribution box 202 is provided inside the feeding frame 200. An adjustable base 300 is provided at the bottom of the support column of the mounting frame 100 and the feeding frame 200.

[0018] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, there are at least four chain conveyors 201. The four chain conveyors 201 are parallel to each other and equidistant. The height of the chain conveyors 201 is not less than the height of the mounting frame 100. The drive chain of the chain conveyor 201 is made of manganese steel, chromium-molybdenum steel or nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel.

[0019] In this technical solution, the transmission chains made of manganese steel, chromium-molybdenum steel, or nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel possess excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability, enabling them to withstand significant tensile and compressive forces. They are also resistant to deformation and breakage, effectively reducing chain wear and the probability of malfunctions during long-term cargo transport, thus lowering equipment maintenance costs. Simultaneously, the four parallel and equidistantly distributed chain conveyors 201 ensure the stability and uniformity of cargo transport, preventing tilting or falling due to uneven force distribution.

[0020] For example, see Figures 1-3 As shown, the distribution box 202 is connected to the upper-level workshop distribution cabinet via a cable. The distribution box 202 is electrically connected to the position detection sensor 102, the button box 104 and the chain conveyor 201 respectively.

[0021] In this technical solution, the power distribution box 202 is connected to the upper-level workshop power distribution cabinet via a cable. This connection method ensures that the transfer station receives a stable and reliable power supply, avoiding the impact of unstable power on the normal operation of the equipment. The power distribution box 202 is electrically connected to the position detection sensor 102, the button box 104, and the chain conveyor 201, enabling effective information transmission and collaborative work between the components. When the position detection sensor 102 detects that the goods have reached the designated position, it will transmit a signal to the power distribution box 202. The power distribution box 202 then controls the operation or stop of the chain conveyor 201 according to the preset program. The operator can also issue commands to the power distribution box 202 through the button box 104 to achieve flexible control of the transfer station.

[0022] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the adjustable base 300 is fixed to the ground by bolts and is connected to the support columns of its corresponding mounting frame 100 and feeding frame 200 by threaded adjustment structure. The bottom of the adjustable base 300 is provided with anti-slip rubber pads.

[0023] In this technical solution, the adjustable base 300 is fixed to the ground with bolts, which ensures the stability of the transfer platform during operation and prevents displacement or shaking. At the same time, the adjustable base 300 is connected to the support columns of its corresponding mounting frame 100 and feeding frame 200 through a threaded adjustment structure. This design allows operators to adjust the height and level of the transfer platform according to the actual flatness and levelness of the ground by adjusting the threaded structure, ensuring that the transfer platform is installed more stably. The bottom of the adjustable base 300 is equipped with an anti-slip rubber pad, which not only increases the friction between the base and the ground, further improving the stability of the transfer platform, but also plays a certain role in shock absorption, reducing the vibration and noise generated during equipment operation.

[0024] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, at least two position detection sensors 102 are provided. The two position detection sensors 102 are fixed at both ends of the mounting frame 100 respectively. The position detection sensors 102 are non-contact photoelectric sensors.

[0025] In this technical solution, the position detection sensor 102 has the advantages of high detection accuracy, fast response speed and strong anti-interference ability. It can detect whether the goods have reached the designated position in a timely and accurate manner. During the goods transportation process, when the goods pass one of the position detection sensors 102, the sensor will immediately feed back the signal to the control system. The control system judges the position and status of the goods based on the signal and makes corresponding control decisions.

[0026] For example, see Figures 1-3 As shown, the button box 104 is equipped with three function buttons: start, stop, and emergency stop, and the button surface is designed to be non-slip.

[0027] In this technical solution, the start button is used to start the transfer station, the stop button is used to stop the transfer station normally, and the emergency stop button can quickly cut off the power supply in case of an emergency, causing the transfer station to stop immediately and ensuring the safety of operators and equipment. The anti-slip design prevents operators from slipping on the buttons due to sweaty hands or other reasons, ensuring the accuracy and safety of operation.

[0028] For example, see Figures 1-3 As shown, there are two anti-collision blocks 105. The two anti-collision blocks 105 are made of cast iron and fixed to the ground with bolts. The distance between the two anti-collision blocks 105 is the same as the wheel spacing of the forklift.

[0029] In this technical solution, cast iron has high strength and hardness, and can withstand greater impact. When the forklift enters the feed end of the transfer station, the anti-collision block 105 can play a buffering and protective role, avoiding direct collision between the forklift and the transfer station, thereby protecting the safety of equipment and goods. At the same time, the design with the same wheel spacing as the forklift can ensure that the forklift stops accurately on the transfer station, improving the efficiency and accuracy of feeding.

[0030] Working Principle: When using this large cargo transfer platform for feeding, the forklift first transports the goods to the feeding end of the transfer platform. Upon approach, because the distance between the two anti-collision blocks 105 is the same as the wheel spacing of the forklift, the forklift can accurately stop on the transfer platform. The anti-collision blocks 105 are made of cast iron and can withstand large impact forces, preventing direct collision between the forklift and the transfer platform, protecting the equipment and goods. After the forklift places the goods on the chain conveyor 201, the arrival detection sensors 102 at both ends of the mounting frame 100 immediately detect the goods and promptly and accurately feed back the arrival signal to the distribution box 202. The distribution box 202 is connected to the upper-level workshop power distribution cabinet via cable, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply. After receiving the signal from the arrival detection sensor 102, the distribution box 202 controls the chain conveyor 201 to operate according to a preset program. When the chain conveyor 201 transports the goods to the other end of the transfer platform, another arrival detection sensor 102... The system 02 will immediately detect the goods and promptly and accurately send the goods arrival signal back to the distribution box 202. After receiving the signal from the arrival detection sensor 102, the distribution box 202 will control the chain conveyor 201 to stop running according to the preset program, waiting for the stacker crane's forks to pick up the goods. Throughout the process, the operator can flexibly control the transfer platform using the start, stop, and emergency stop buttons on the button box 104 on the top of the mounting column 103. The protective baffles 101 on both sides of the mounting frame 100 can prevent the goods from falling during the conveying process, thus providing protection. The adjustable base 300 is fixed to the ground with bolts and is connected to the support columns of the mounting frame 100 and the feeding frame 200 through a threaded adjustment structure. The anti-slip rubber pads at the bottom increase stability and also play a role in shock absorption, reducing the vibration and noise generated during equipment operation. The operator can also adjust the height and level of the transfer platform according to the actual ground conditions to ensure its stable installation. Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
