The preferred embodiment of the present invention of the staging device 100 is used on a container manufacturing line for staging voids (i.e., the upper position of a broadside bottom rail) in a series of narrow bottom rails. Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the blocking device 100 includes two body frames 110, a conveying mechanism 120, a head end elevating mechanism 130, at least two intermediate elevating mechanisms 140, a tail end elevating mechanism 160, and a limit elevating mechanism 150.

The two main body frames 110 are spaced apart and arranged side by side, or the two main body frames 110 are arranged in parallel along the direction of the production line. The conveying mechanism 120 is disposed between the two body frames 110, and is configured to run along the length direction of the body frames 110 for conveying the narrow-sided base beams forward.

The head end elevating mechanism 130 is disposed at an end portion of the body frame 110, and at least two intermediate elevating mechanisms 140 are movably disposed at the body frame 110. That is, the head end elevating mechanism 130 and the at least two intermediate elevating mechanisms 140 are oppositely disposed on the two body frames 110 in a pair-wise manner. In the present embodiment, six pairs of intermediate elevating mechanisms 140 are preferably provided. It will be readily appreciated that the number of intermediate lift mechanisms 140 may be set according to the number of wide-bottomed cross members actually required.

The limit lifting mechanism 150 is disposed upstream of the body frame 110 along the operation direction of the conveying mechanism 120, or the limit lifting mechanism 150 is disposed in front of the body frame 110, and is used for preventing the narrow-bottom beam from being conveyed to the next station before the grading process is completed. The end elevating mechanism 160 is disposed downstream of the body frame 110 in the traveling direction of the conveying mechanism 120 and outside the conveying mechanism 120. Alternatively, the end lift mechanism 160 is disposed in front of the body frame 110 and is used to block the narrow-bottom beam from entering the work station before the grading process is completed.

In the present embodiment, a first preset distance is provided between two adjacent intermediate lifting mechanisms 140. The head end lift mechanism 130 and the intermediate lift mechanism 140 closest to the head end lift mechanism 130 have a second predetermined distance therebetween. Preferably, both the first preset distance and the second preset distance are adjustable by changing the middle lift mechanism 140.

The first preset distance can be determined according to actual needs, or the number of narrow-side bottom beams between two adjacent wide-side bottom beams of the container to be produced according to needs. The second predetermined distance may also be determined as required, or the number of narrow-sided base beams other than the outermost wide-sided base beam of the container to be produced. The predetermined time interval is determined based on the selected dimensions of the broadside bottom beams and the conveying speed of the conveying mechanism 120.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the body frame 110 includes a base beam 111, a load beam 112, and at least two strut beams 113. Wherein the base beams 111 may be arranged on the ground, the pillar beams 113 are arranged vertically on the base beams 111, and the carrier beams 112 are located above the base beams 111 and connected to the pillar beams 113. In the present embodiment, each body frame 110 is provided with three pillar beams 113, two of which are respectively located at both ends of the load beam 112, and the other of which is located at the middle of the load beam 112.

The intermediate elevating mechanism 140 includes a moving block 141, an elevating cylinder 142, and a positioning member. The elevating cylinder 142 is provided on the moving block 141. The moving block 141 is movably provided on the load beam 112, thereby adjusting the position of the intermediate lift mechanism 140. The retainer is detachably connected to the moving block 141 and the load beam 112 to fix the moving block 141 on the load beam 112 when the moving block 141 moves to a predetermined position.

Preferably, the load beam 112 is configured as a slide rail, and the moving block 141 is preferably configured as a slider, whereby the intermediate lift mechanism 140 is slidable on the load beam 112. And the moving block 141 is preferably provided with a screw hole, and the positioning member is preferably configured as a fastening bolt. Thus, the moving block 141 can be fixed by screwing the fastening bolt to the slide rail through the screw hole.

In a preferred embodiment, the gearshift 100 further comprises a control device. The control device is in signal connection with the conveying mechanism 120, the head end lifting mechanism 130, the at least two intermediate lifting mechanisms 140, the tail end lifting mechanism 160 and the limit lifting mechanism 150. Such that the conveyor mechanism 120, the head end lift mechanism 130, the at least two intermediate lift mechanisms 140, the tail end lift mechanism 160, and the limit lift mechanism 150 can operate according to a staging program.

Wherein, the gear shifting procedure includes:

s1: the head end lift mechanism 130 is controlled to be raised and the conveyor mechanism 120 is controlled to operate to convey the plurality of narrow-sided bottom rails forward.

S2: when the plurality of narrow-side bottom beams all enter between the two body frames 110, the conveying mechanism 120 is controlled to stop. Preferably, the operation is further delayed for a first preset time before the stop of the transport mechanism so that the plurality of narrow-bottomed beams are brought into contact with each other to improve the accuracy of the locking of the narrow-bottomed beams by the lifting mechanism in the subsequent step. Illustratively, the first preset time may be 6 seconds. Of course, other times may be set as desired.

S3: at least two intermediate lifting mechanisms 140 are controlled to lift to clamp the narrow-sided bottom beams.

S4: the head end lifting mechanism 130 is controlled to descend, and the conveying mechanism 120 is controlled to operate.

S5: the at least two intermediate lift mechanisms 140 are controlled to sequentially descend at predetermined time intervals in a direction away from the head end lift mechanism 130.

The transport mechanism 120 can advance the front narrow bottom beam an end distance, for example, just one wide bottom beam size. Preferably, after the intermediate lifting mechanism 140 farthest from the head end lifting mechanism 130 is lowered, the transporting mechanism 120 is delayed to operate for a second preset time and then the next step is performed. Illustratively, the second preset time may be 3 seconds.

It will be readily appreciated that other times may be set as desired. More preferably, the second preset time is determined according to a predetermined time interval. For example, the second predetermined time may be set equal to the predetermined time interval, so that the last intermediate lift mechanism 140 can just step out the gap of one wide-bottom beam.

S6: the conveyance mechanism 120 is controlled to stop.

And then, the subsequent process equipment can be utilized to carry out feeding on the wide-bottom beam and convey the wide-bottom beam to the next station.

In a preferred embodiment, before S5, there is also S7, and the limit lifting mechanism 150 is controlled to lift to prevent the narrow-sided bottom beam which is not finished by the gear shifting from being conveyed to the next station.

In a preferred embodiment, S8 is provided after S6, and the limit elevating mechanism 150 is controlled to descend.

In a preferred embodiment, S9 is further provided after S2, and the end lifting mechanism 160 is controlled to be lifted to block the narrow-side bottom beam of the previous station from entering between the two body frames 110.

In a preferred embodiment, S10 is provided after S6, and the terminal lifting mechanism 160 is controlled to descend.

According to the gear shifting device 100, the feeding position of the wide bottom cross beam can be automatically shifted, the structure is simple, the interval arrangement of the lifting mechanisms is beneficial to maintenance (for example, the interval arrangement of the two lifting mechanisms can be conveniently checked and maintained), and the later maintenance cost is low.

In addition, in the invention, only one set of power system, namely the conveying mechanism 120, is utilized to complete the grading of the feeding position, other power devices are not needed, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the energy is saved.

The flows and steps described in all the preferred embodiments described above are only examples.
