Commodity Carrying Device with Tilting Support Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional commodity carrying out devices struggle to reliably move vertically-long shaped commodities in an upright state from storage columns to buckets without toppling, due to instability during transfer.
Innovation Solution
A commodity carrying out device with a bucket moving mechanism and a commodity reception mechanism that tilts the commodity using a sloping supporting member, allowing the commodity to be securely moved into the bucket by increasing the angle of the supporting member as the bucket moves forward, preventing toppling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a belt conveyor mechanism is used to move the commodity from the storage column to the bucket, then the commodity can be moved, but the vertically-long shaped commodity becomes unstable and may topple backwards
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of moving the commodity horizontally along a belt conveyor, the invention inverts the approach by using a downward-sloping supporting member that guides the commodity to tilt forward naturally under gravity, reversing the conventional horizontal transfer method and preventing backward toppling
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the angle parameter of the supporting member, making it form a downward slope from the storage column side to the bucket side. This angle parameter change enables the vertically-long commodity to tilt forward during transfer, maintaining stability and preventing backward toppling
2Ease of operation
If the angle of the downward slope of the commodity supporting member is increased, then the commodity tilts more towards the bucket, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention makes the supporting member angle dynamic rather than fixed. As the bucket moves forward away from the storage column, the angle of the downward slope increases automatically, optimizing the tilting effect at different stages of the transfer process without requiring complex active control mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The commodity supporting member serves multiple functions: it supports the commodity, guides its tilting motion, and its angle automatically adjusts based on bucket position. This multi-functionality achieves effective commodity tilting without adding separate control mechanisms, reducing overall device complexity

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables reliable and stable transfer of vertically-long shaped commodities into the bucket without toppling, ensuring they are carried out in an upright state, reducing production costs by avoiding complex mechanisms.
Implementation Method 1
a commodity supporting member for supporting a bottom surface of a commodity, that is provided on the bucket side so that a top surface thereof forms a downward slope from the commodity storage column side to the bucket side

AI summary
The present invention provides a commodity carrying out device that can reliably carry out a vertically-long shaped commodity in an upright state from a commodity storage column to a bucket. More specifically, since a commodity positioned at the front end side of a commodity storage column is tilted forward to be moved into a bucket, when moving a vertically-long shaped commodity in an upright state into a bucket, it is possible to move the commodity without the commodity toppling backwards. Thus, the commodity can be reliably moved into the bucket.
