Preferably, the driving portion 21 is a motor 21, the electrode 21 drives the transmission member 22 to perform a linear reciprocating motion in a predetermined direction, the pushing member 23 fixed to the transmission member 22 by a shaft is driven by the transmission member 22 to perform a circular motion around the rotation shaft 232, the driving rod 233 limited by the track 2310 of the pushing member 23 is pushed by the rocker arm 231 to drive the button lock lower portion 122 to perform a linear motion in a vertical direction, and then the driving rod 233 stops in a certain time, so that the button lock body 11 is pushed to the lifting position first, and then the height of the locking head 111 of the button lock body 11 is not changed in a process of being rotated by the driving member 24 by 90 °.
Further, the rocker arm 231 has a track 2310, wherein the track 2310 has a first track 2311 and a second track 2312, initially, the driving rod 233 is limited at the highest point of the first track 2311 of the track 2310 of the pushing member 23, when the rocker arm 231 is pushed to rotate upward, the driving rod 233 limited at the track 2310 slides downward along the first track 2311, and due to the preset shape of the first track 2311 of the rocker arm 231, the driving rod 233 is pushed to move linearly upward, which in turn drives the button lock lower portion 122 to move linearly upward.
Since the motion track of the rocker arm 231 is an arc track, the motion direction of the driving rod 233 limited on the track 2310 is linearly moved by the shape design of the track 2310 of the rocker arm 231. During the process of moving the toggle lock assembly 10 from the initial position to the lifted position, wherein the driving rod 233 slides downward from the top end of the first track 2311, the driving rod 233 is constrained on the first track 2311 and can be pushed by the rocker arm 231 to rise straight relative to the ground.
When the driving lever 233 moves to the connection position of the second rail 2312 and the first rail 2311, the button lock assembly 10 reaches to the raised position, i.e., the raised position of the button lock assembly 10.
According to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second track 2312 of the track 2310 of the swing arm 231 is a circular arc track with the rotation shaft 232 as an axis. When the rocker arm 231 is further driven to move upward, since the second track 2312 is an arc track with the rotation shaft 232 as an axis, that is, when the rocker arm 231 is further rotated upward, the driving lever 233 restricted to the second track 2312 is not further pushed by the rocker arm 231 and remains at an original position, so that the button lock assembly 10 is maintained at a lifted position for a while.
When the driving portion 21 further drives the swing arm 231 to rotate upward while the driving lever 233 is maintained at the lifted position, in the process, the button lock assembly 10 is transferred from the lifted position to the locked position, wherein the swing arm 231 is further driven to move upward by the transmission member 22, so that the driving lever 233 continues to slide downward on the track 2310 without changing the height of the driving lever 233 until the driving lever 233 is caught at the bottom end of the track 2310 of the swing arm 231. That is, the driving member 20 drives the button lock assembly 10 to ascend and then to maintain the button lock assembly in the ascending position after ascending linearly.
When the driving assembly 20 drives the button lock assembly 10 to descend, the button lock assembly 10 performs a return motion opposite to the ascending, that is, the driving portion 21 drives the transmission member 22 to perform a return motion, the rocker arm 231 is driven by the transmission member 22 to rotate downward, since the driving lever 233 is constrained on the second track 2312 of the rocker arm 231, the rocker arm 231 does not add a pushing force to the driving lever 233 to drive the driving lever 233 to move, so that the driving lever 233 is stably maintained at the original position with respect to the ground, but the driving lever 233 moves upward along the second track 2312 with respect to the second track 2312 until the driving lever 233 is located at the connection point of the second track 2312 and the first track 2311. The driving assembly 20 further drives the transmission member 22 to perform a return motion, wherein the rocker arm 231 is rotated downward by the transmission member 22, and since the driving rod 233 is located on the first track 2311 of the rocker arm 231, the rocker arm 231 pushes the driving rod 233 to linearly move downward until the driving rod 233 falls back to the lowest position, the button lock lower portion 122 driven by the driving rod 233 falls to the lowest position, wherein the button lock assembly 10 moves from the raised position to the initial position.
According to a first embodiment of the present invention, the positioning assembly 30 comprises a base 31 and a detecting and positioning element 32. The base 31 is sleeved on the upper part 121 of the button lock and is fixedly connected to the transportation device 3. That is, the base 31 does not move with the movement of the button lock assembly 10 and the driving assembly 20. The detection positioning member 32 is disposed on the base 31, wherein the positioning detection member 32 detects the position of the lower portion 122 of the button lock, when the position detection member 32 detects that the button lock lower portion 122 has moved to the raised position, i.e., the twist lock assembly 10, is moved to the raised position, the position sensing member 32 sends a raising electrical signal to a controller 5, the button lock assembly 10 is controlled by the controller 5 to remain at the raised position until the container 3 is dropped to the corresponding position, wherein each corner block 2 of the container 3 is aligned with the position of the automatic lifting button lock 1 and covers the locking head 111 of the button lock assembly 10, so that the container 3 can fall to its corresponding position, and each corner block 2 of the container 3 covers the corresponding automatic lifting button lock 1.
Alternatively, the controller 5 may be implemented as a control system 5 or other button lock system 5, without limitation in the present invention.
When any one of the corner blocks 2 of the container 3 is not aligned with the automatic lifting/lowering button lock 1, the container 3 applies pressure to the automatic lifting/lowering button lock 1, and the pressure applied to the automatic lifting/lowering button lock 1 is buffered by the pressure-proof member 40 disposed between the button lock upper portion 121 and the button lock lower portion 122 of the button lock assembly 10, thereby preventing the automatic lifting/lowering button lock 1 from being damaged.
Referring to fig. 4, the pivoting member 24 includes a rack gear 241, a gear 242, and a connecting shaft 243. The connecting rod 243 is axially restrained by the buttock body 11. The rack gear 241 is fixedly disposed on the transmission member 22, wherein the gear 242 is sleeved on the connecting rod 243 and is located at the lower end of the connecting rod 243.
The lock shaft 112 of the button lock body 11 has a driving opening 1120, wherein the link shaft 23 is circumferentially and fixedly extended outward from the driving opening 1120, and wherein one end of the link shaft 23 is circumferentially and circumferentially fixed with the gear 242. Preferably, the driving opening 1120 allows a certain space for the relative movement or the joint rotation of the lock shaft 112 and the link shaft 23.
It should be noted that the lock shaft 112 can be driven by the lower portion 122 of the button lock to ascend, and the lock shaft 112 ascends relative to the link shaft 243, wherein the link shaft 243 does not ascend or descend. In other words, the link shaft 243 and the gear 242 only rotate and do not move up and down.
The button lock body 11 is disposed at the front end of the link rod 243, and the lock shaft 112 is rotated by the link shaft 23. The gear 242 is sleeved on the connecting rod 243, wherein the gear 242 is driven to rotate for a certain angle, and the connecting rod 243 limited by the gear 242 is driven by the gear 242 to rotate for a certain angle.
Preferably, the connecting rod 243 is implemented as a square shaft. In other words, the connecting rod 243 has a square cross section. The gear 242 is fittingly sleeved on the connecting shaft 243, so that the gear 242 can be driven by the rack 241.
Preferably, the driving opening 1220 defined by the lock shaft 112 is rectangular, and the connecting rod 243 is circumferentially locked, so that the connecting rod 243 rotates the lock shaft 112.
It should be noted that the gear 242 is driven by the rack 241 to rotate for a certain angle, wherein the gear 242 is limited on a predetermined track of the rack 241, wherein the connecting rod 243 can move up and down relative to the gear 242, so that the gear 242 limits the connecting rod 243 to drive the connecting rod 243 to rotate, and the lock body 11 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 243 rotates.
It is worth mentioning that the drive assembly 20 comprises a guide rail 25, wherein the guide rail 25 is fixedly arranged without moving with other components of the drive assembly. The rack 241 is driven by the transmission member 22 to move transversely on the guide rail 25, so as to ensure that the rack 241 stably pushes the gear 242 to rotate after being pushed to the contact position of the gear 242, and further, the button locking body 11 is driven to rotate.
It should be noted that, since the gear 242 is disposed on the connecting shaft 243, the rack 241 is disposed on the transmission member 22, wherein the transmission member 22 is driven by the driving portion 21 to reciprocate, and the direction of the movement of the transmission member 22 is a tangential direction of the rotation of the gear 242, so that the transmission member 22 drives the rack 241 to move forward to a certain distance to be connected with the gear 242, wherein the rack 241 is further driven forward to drive the gear 242 to rotate, thereby realizing that the gear 242 is driven to rotate 90 °. That is, the locking head 111 is disposed at 90 ° to the button lock upper portion 121.
Referring to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom cross-section of the tapered end 111 is identical to the cross-section of the upper portion 121 of the button lock, that is, the upper portion 121 of the button lock is aligned with the tapered end 111 when the button lock body 11 is not rotated, and the tapered end 111 and the upper portion 121 of the button lock body 11 are maintained in a misaligned state after the button lock body 11 is driven to rotate by a certain angle.
Referring to fig. 6, the corner block 2 has a receiving cavity 200 and an open channel 201 communicating the receiving cavity 200 with the external space, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the open channel 201 is consistent with the shape of the upper portion 121 of the button lock and the open channel 201 allows the lock head 111 to enter the receiving cavity 200, and when the lock head 111 of the button lock body 11 is rotated by a certain angle, the lock head 111 of the button lock body 11 is not allowed to be disengaged from the open channel 201, so that the automatic lifting button lock 1 locks the corner block 2. When the respective corner blocks 2 of the container 3 are locked, the container 3 is stably held to the carrier, effectively preventing toppling.
Referring to fig. 7A to 9, the locking head 111 protrudes into the accommodating cavity 200, and the locking head 111 is adapted to the bottom surface of the corner block 2, so that the locking head can be fastened to the corner block 2 to move.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the transmission manner between the rack 241 and the gear 242 is a transmission between the rack and the gear. Further, the gears of the rack gear 241 are in the same plane, and when the pushing member 23 is driven by the transmission member 22 to rotate, the rack gear 241 is driven by the transmission member 22 to approach the gear 242, so that the rack gear 241 is pushed to advance in a predetermined direction, and when the rocker arm 231 is rotated by a certain angle and the driving rod 233 is located at the boundary position of the first track 2311 and the second track 2312, the rack gear 241 is pushed to engage with the gear 242. At this time, the positioning detection unit 31 sends a stop message to the controller 5 after detecting that the button lock lower part 122 which is driven to move upward is at the raised position, wherein the controller 5 controls the driving part 21 to stop, so that the button lock assembly 10 is held at the raised position to wait for the container 3 to fall to the corresponding position.
When each of the corner blocks 2 of the container 3 is aligned with one of the automatic lifting knobs 1, the controller 5 moves the driving part 21 further forward, and since the driving bar 233 is not pushed up further by the second rail 2312 but remains in place, the knob lock assembly 10 is not pushed up further by the driving bar 233, wherein the rack gear 241 provided to the driving member 242 moves forward and rotates the engaged gear 242 by 90 °. So that the buttock body 11 of the buttock assembly 10 is axially fixed by the rotation driving member 24 so that the buttock body 11 is drivingly rotated by 90 °, since the tapered end 111 is a prism-like shape having a long side and a short side, when the tapered end 111 is rotated by 90 °, the long side of the tapered end 111 is aligned with the short side of the buttock upper part 121, wherein the tapered end 111 forms an angle with the buttock upper part 121. Because the locking head 111 is not aligned with the long and short sides of the open channel 201 after rotating 90 degrees, the locking head 111 cannot be separated from the open channel 201 of the corner block 2 to lock the corner block 2. When each corner block 2 of the container 3 is locked by the automatic lifting knob lock 1, the container 3 is positioned at the carrying device in a manner locked by the respective automatic lifting knob lock 1.
In the process that the push member 23 pushes the button lock assembly 10 to ascend, the rack 241 and the gear 242 are not contacted, and the button lock assembly 10 only moves linearly upwards. When the driving rod 233 of the pushing member 23 reaches the second track 2312 from the first track 2311, the rack gear 241 is in contact with the gear 242, and then when the driving portion 21 further drives the transmission member 22 to move forward, the gear 242 is rotated by the rack gear 241 moving forward. Preferably, the gear 242 is drivingly rotated by the rack gear by 90 °.
After the rack 241 and the gear 242 are engaged with each other, when the rack 241 is driven by the transmission member 22 to move forward, the gear 242 engaged with the gear is driven to rotate. The link shaft 243, which is positioned in the axial direction by the gear 242, is rotated, which in turn rotates the button lock body 11. Due to the reciprocating motion of the driving part 21, the pushing member 23 and the driving member 24 are simultaneously driven to move, so that the pushing member 23 pushes the button lock body 11 to rise or fall during the process that the driving member 24 drives the button lock body 11 to rotate.
Referring to fig. 1, the preset angle of rotation of the button lock body 11 is the angle of rotation of the gear 242, and the angle of rotation of the button lock body 11 is 90 °. When the button lock body 11 is rotated by 90 °, the displacement of the driving portion 21 is maximized. The driving portion 21 is stopped under control of the controller 5. When the controller 5 controls the driving portion 21 to perform a return motion, the driving portion 21 returns, wherein the transmission member 22 driven by the driving portion 21 drives the rack 241 to perform a return motion, and the rack 241 drives the gear 242 to rotate until the transmission member 22 drives the rack 241 to separate from the gear 242. When the rack 241 is separated from the gear 242, the gear 242 drives the locking body 11 to rotate 90 °, and the locking head 111 can pass through the inlet channel 2012 of the corner block 2.
The driving portion 21 is further restored and the button lock assembly 10 is pushed down by the pushing member 23. When the driving portion 21 returns to the initial position, that is, when the driving portion 21 is displaced to zero, the button lock assembly 10 is lowered to the initial position.
Further, the driving portion 21 drives the button lock assembly 10 to ascend first. When the positioning detection unit 31 detects that the button lock assembly 10 reaches the raised position, the controller 5 controls the driving part 21 to stop driving to keep the button lock assembly 10 at the raised position until the corner blocks 2 of the falling container 3 are aligned with the automatic lifting button lock 1, and the controller 5 controls the driving part 21 to drive the button lock body 11 of the button lock assembly 10 to rotate. When the button lock body 11 is rotated to 90 °, since the locking head 111 of the button lock body 11 is locked in the receiving cavity 200 of the corner block 2, the driving part 21 is stopped under the control of the controller 5, so that the automatic lifting button lock 1 locks each corner block 2 of the container 3 to prevent the container 3 from rotating or shifting.
When the controller 5 controls the driving portion 21 to move back, the driving portion 21 drives the transmission member 22 to drive the rack 241 to move back along the track 25, wherein the rack 242 drives the gear 242 to rotate. When the gear 242 is rotated by 90 °, the button lock body 11 is rotated by the connecting shaft 243, the locking head 111 of the button lock body 11 can pass through the opening channel 201 of the corner block 20, and the button lock assembly 10 is in the raised position. The driving portion 21 drives the button lock assembly 10 to descend, and at this time, the rack gear 241 is separated from the gear 242, and the rack gear 241 is restored on the rail 25 in a predetermined direction. The driving portion 21 further drives the transmission assembly 22 to drive the pushing member 23 to make a circular motion. The push member 23 pushes the button lock lower portion 122 downward until the push member 23 pushes the button lock assembly 10 to move to the initial position. The automatic lifting button lock is located at the initial position.
Alternatively, the button locking body 11 may be rotated by any angle between 30 ° and 150 °, which is not limited in the present invention. It should be noted that the number of teeth of the rack 241 and the number of teeth of the gear 242 are preset, and the angle at which the gear 242 is rotated is controlled by the number of teeth of the rack 241 and the gear of the gear 242.
