The box wheel handling apparatus includes a first jig 131 for moving the box wheel 21 located in the tray 111 into the chute 121.

According to the box wheel conveying system, the box wheels can be automatically fed, the conveying efficiency is high, labor is saved, labor intensity is reduced, forklift feeding does not enter a workshop, and potential safety hazards of the workshop are reduced.

It should be noted that directional terms used for the respective components, portions, etc. of the tank wheel conveying system described in the present utility model are relative to a horizontally placed and erected state. The upper and lower directions are the vertical directions, the conveying direction is the direction in which the box wheel moves from the first end to the second end of the chute, and the traveling direction is the direction in which the first clamp and/or the second clamp are located along the traveling track of the traveling track frame, and can be perpendicular to the conveying direction and the vertical direction, and can also be other directions.

As shown in fig. 1-3 and 5-6, the box wheel conveyor system 100 includes a tray conveyor line, a box wheel conveyor line 120, and a box wheel handling apparatus. The tray conveying line, the box wheel carrying device, and the first pushing device 122 of the box wheel conveying line 120 are all disposed outside the workshop, and the first end 121a of the chute 121 of the box wheel conveying line 120 is also disposed outside the workshop, and the first clamp 131 of the box wheel carrying device moves the box wheel 21 located in the tray 111 into the chute 121, specifically, may be in the first end 121a of the chute 121. Therefore, the forklift does not enter the workshop, the potential safety hazard of the workshop is reduced, in other words, the part which is not necessarily located in the workshop is preferably arranged outside the workshop, and the safety of the feeding stage is improved, and meanwhile the safety of the maintenance stage is also improved. Wherein the shop floor is not fully shown, only the shop floor columns 10 are schematically shown for schematically representing the parts of the box wheel conveyor system 100 located outside the shop floor. The chute 121 may be provided through the shop floor column 10.

According to the case wheel conveying system 100 of the present utility model, the tray conveying line and the case wheel conveying line 120 are provided, and the tray conveying line for conveying the tray 111 and the case wheel conveying line 120 for conveying the case wheel 21 are provided independently, so that interference with each other is small, and work efficiency is high.

The case wheel handling apparatus may further comprise a walking rail frame 132 (e.g. a servo walking rail frame 132), the walking rail frame 132 being arranged above the chute 121, and in some preferred embodiments the walking rail frame 132 being arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction, the first clamp 131 (e.g. a servo grapple) being movably connected to the walking rail frame 132 by e.g. a spreader. The first clamp 131 of the box wheel carrying device is used for moving the box wheels 21 positioned in the tray 111 into the sliding grooves 121. The first gripper 131 walks along the walking rail frame 132 to move the box wheel 21 located in the tray 111 into the chute 121, which may be specifically that the first gripper 131 carries the box wheel 21 located in the tray 111 between the first end 121a of the chute 121 and the first pushing device 122 provided at the first end 121a of the chute 121, and the first pushing device 122 (e.g., a pusher) continues to push the box wheel 21 so that the box wheel 21 enters the chute 121. The first propulsion device 122 may be disposed in a substantially straight line with the chute 121 such that the first propulsion device 122 propels the tank wheel 21 into the chute 121.

The direction along which the first clamp 131 is located along the track of the walking rail frame 132 is the walking direction. It is to be understood that, in a state where the traveling direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction, the first jig 131 travels a short distance when the box wheel 21 located in the tray 111 is moved into the chute 121. In other embodiments, the walking track, the included angle between the walking direction and the conveying direction can be adjusted according to the actual working condition and the actual requirement. The first clamp 131 is preferably provided with a second sensor 133 (e.g. a laser locating sensor) to automatically locate the bin wheel 21. Wherein, two case wheels 21 are connected together by twist lock 22 to the first anchor clamps 131 centre gripping, can simultaneously centre gripping two case wheels 21 simultaneously once, can improve work efficiency.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the tray conveyance line includes a tray conveyance device for carrying the tray 111 and a tray 111 conveyance device for conveying the tray 111. The tray conveying device comprises a loading rail frame 112, a shifting rail frame 113 and a second pushing device 114 (for example, a servo propeller), wherein the loading rail frame 112 and the shifting rail frame 113 are respectively arranged on two sides of the box wheel conveying line 120, and the second pushing device 114 is arranged at the loading rail frame 112 and can be arranged on one side of the loading rail frame 112, in particular, can be arranged on one side of the loading rail frame 112 far away from the shifting rail frame 113. In some embodiments, the second pusher 114 may also be disposed below, for example, the loading rail frame 112. The setting position of second propulsion device 114 may be adjusted according to the actual working conditions to facilitate setting and/or operation. The tray 111 handling device may include a second clamp 115 (e.g., a servo grapple) for moving the tray 111 from the loading rail frame 112 to the displacement rail frame 113, and the tray 111 may be generally rectangular in configuration for easy clamping. The second jig 115 is movably connected to the traveling rail frame 132 by, for example, a hanger, and in the present embodiment, the traveling rail frame 132 is not separately provided, i.e., the second jig 115 is directly movably connected to the traveling rail frame 132 of the box wheel handling apparatus, whereby a part can be saved and a cost can be saved. The walking rail frame 132 may also be provided independently if needed and/or desired.

In feeding, for example, a forklift truck places the pallet 111 with the cartoning wheel 21 on the loading rail frame 112, specifically, a pallet position at an inlet end of the loading rail frame 112, and then the second pushing device pushes the pallet 111 to a position (for example, a pallet position far from the inlet end) of the loading rail frame 112, where the first gripper 131 and/or the second gripper 115 are convenient to grip, or other pallet positions. The fork lift truck can repeatedly place the pallet 111 containing the box wheels 21 in the pallet position at the inlet end on the loading rail frame 112, after which the second pushing device is operated, so that feeding is repeated. Therefore, the feeding rail frame 112 can bear one tray 111 containing the box wheels 21, and can bear at least two trays 111 containing the box wheels 21, so that the working efficiency is improved. When all of the box wheels 21 in the tray 111 are carried by the first jigs 131, the second jigs 115 are moved to just above the tray 111 along the traveling rail frame 132, and grasp the tray 111, and carry it onto the shift rail frame 113, after which the tray 111 can be moved away from the shift rail frame 113 by a manual work or an automatic tool such as a pushing device.

As shown in fig. 1-6, the box wheel conveyor line 120 may further include at least one shifter 123 (e.g., a pneumatic shifter 123), the shifter 123 being disposed between a first end 121a of the chute 121 and a second end 121b of the chute 121 for moving the box wheel 21 within the chute 121 in the conveying direction. The shifter 123 shifts the box wheels 21 pushed by the first pushing device 122 one by one in the conveying direction, specifically, shifts by the material blocking frame 124 of the shifter 123 reciprocating in the conveying direction between a first position and a second position, the material blocking frame 124 descends in the first position to push the box wheels 21 toward the second position, and the material blocking frame 124 ascends in the second position to leave the box wheels 21. If the length of the chute 121 is long, the power of one shifter 123 to shift the box wheel 21 is insufficient to cause the box wheel 21 to reach a predetermined position of the chute 121, such as the second end 121b, more than one shifter 123, such as two or more, may be provided to meet the power demand of shifting the box wheel 21. Referring to fig. 4, the shifter 123 may further be provided with a pull-wire encoder 125 and/or a first sensor 126 (e.g., a photoelectric sensor) to automatically sense the position of the bin wheel 21 reaching the shifter 123, accurately identify the action position of the material blocking frame 124, and avoid deviation of the relay motion in the middle of the bin wheel 21. Two or more displacers 123 may be uniformly arranged on the chute 121, for example, when the total length of the chute 121 is 70 m, two displacers 123 may be provided, and the distance between the front ends of the two displacers 123 (i.e., the ends nearer to the first end 121a of the chute 121) is 35 m. Wherein the shifter 123 closest to the first end 121a of the chute 121 may not be provided with the wire encoder 125 and/or the first sensor 126.

The working principle according to this embodiment is as follows:

The box wheels 21 are placed in the tray 111, a plurality of box wheels 21 can be contained in the tray 111, and the two box wheels 21 can be connected together by the twist lock 22, so that the first clamp 131 can clamp the box wheels conveniently. More than one pallet location may be provided on the loading rail frame 112, and the forklift may place the pallet 111 containing the box wheels 21 on the pallet location on the loading rail frame 112, typically on the pallet location at the inlet end of the loading rail frame 112, and the second pushing device pushes the pallet 111 from the inlet end of the loading rail frame 112 to a location of the loading rail frame 112 (e.g., a pallet location away from the inlet end) where the first clamp 131 and/or the second clamp 115 are convenient for clamping, or other pallet locations. The fork lift truck can repeatedly place the pallet 111 containing the box wheels 21 in the pallet position at the inlet end on the loading rail frame 112, after which the second pushing device is operated, so that feeding is repeated. Therefore, the feeding rail frame 112 can bear one tray 111 containing the box wheels 21, and can bear at least two trays 111 containing the box wheels 21.

After the automatic start operation, the first gripper 131 moves along the traveling rail frame 132, for example, to a position where the gripping of the box wheel 21 is facilitated, the second sensor 133 provided at the first gripper 131 automatically performs the locating of the box wheel 21, after which the grapple of the first gripper 131 is opened and lowered, and the grapple grips the box wheel 21 and then rises. The first gripper 131 grips the box wheel 21 and conveys the box wheel 21 to a position above a position between the first propelling device 122 and the first end 121a of the chute 121, the first gripper 131 descends, the grapple is opened, the box wheel 21 falls to a position between the first propelling device 122 and the first end 121a of the chute 121, the first propelling device 122 propels the box wheel 21 into the chute 121, and the shifter 123 is ready for operation.

The shifter 123 shifts the case wheels 21 pushed by the first pushing device 122 one by one in the conveying direction, the case wheels 21 push against each other in the chute 121 so as to move along the chute 121 in the conveying direction, specifically, the shift is performed by the material blocking frame 124 of the shifter 123 reciprocating in the conveying direction between a first position and a second position, the material blocking frame 124 descends in the first position so as to push the case wheels 21 against the second position, and the material blocking frame 124 ascends in the second position so as to leave the case wheels 21. If the length of the chute 121 is long, the power of one shifter 123 to shift the box wheel 21 is insufficient to cause the box wheel 21 to reach a predetermined position of the chute 121, such as the second end 121b, more than one shifter 123, such as two or more, may be provided to meet the power demand of shifting the box wheel 21. The shifter 123 may also be provided with a pull wire encoder 125 and/or a second sensor 133 to automatically sense the position of the box wheel 21 reaching the shifter 123, accurately identify the action position of the material blocking frame 124, and avoid deviation of relay movement in the middle of the box wheel 21.

When all the box wheels 21 in the tray 111 are carried by the first gripper 131, the first gripper 131 moves along the traveling rail frame 132 to the outermost edge of the feeding rail frame 112 side of the traveling rail frame 132, the second gripper 115 moves along the traveling rail frame 132 to just above the tray 111, and after the gripper is in place, the gripper is opened and descends, and the gripper grips the tray 111 and then ascends. The second clamp 115 grips the pallet 111 to be carried above the displacement rail frame 113, the second clamp 115 descends, the grapple opens, the pallet 111 falls on the displacement rail frame 113, and then the pallet 111 can be separated from the displacement rail frame 113 by a manual work or an automatic tool such as a pushing device. The second pushing device pushes the pallet 111 containing the box wheels 21 of other pallet positions on the feeding rail frame 112 to a position convenient for the first clamp 131 to clamp, and the next working cycle is performed.
