In this embodiment, the flipping driving part is a motor screw driving structure.
The operation principle of the above-described cargo unloading mechanism 300 will be explained below:
the turnover type cargo bucket 320 is loaded with cargos to be sorted, and when the cargos reach a designated position, the turnover type cargo bucket 320 needs to be turned over, so that the cargos can be separated from the cargo bucket and fall to a cargo sorting and recycling point;
in the invention, due to the special structural design of the monorail conveyor line 100, the goods sorting and recovering points can be respectively arranged at two sides of the monorail conveyor line 100, so that more goods sorting and recovering points can be arranged in a limited field space as far as possible;
since the goods sorting and recycling points can be respectively arranged at both sides of the monorail conveyor line 100, a function of enabling the turnover type goods bucket 320 to selectively turn over to any side of the monorail conveyor line 100 is required;
for example, when the flip bucket 320 needs to be flipped to the left to unload cargo:
firstly, current in a specified direction is applied to the electromagnet 331, so that the two ends of the electromagnet 331 can obtain north and south poles;
because the polarities of the left magnetic attraction block 332 and the right magnetic attraction block 333 facing one end of the electromagnet 331 are the same (for example, the end of the left magnetic attraction block 332 facing the electromagnet 331 is an S pole, and the end of the right magnetic attraction block 333 facing the electromagnet 331 is also an S pole), and the two ends of the electromagnet 331 are opposite in polarity, and the like poles repel each other and the opposite poles attract each other, the electromagnet 331 slides to the right;
the electromagnet 331 drives the middle connecting rod 334 to slide to the right, so that the left movable rod 335 and the right movable rod 336 at the two ends of the middle connecting rod 334 also move to the right, so that the left movable rod 335 closes the notch of the left overturn supporting slot 311, and the right movable rod 336 is separated from the notch of the right overturn supporting slot 312;
it can be seen that the left movable bar 335 closes the left flip support slot 311, thereby providing for rotation of the left flip shaft 321; the right movable bar 336 is disengaged from the notch of the right turn-over support groove 312 in preparation for the right turn-over shaft 322 to be disengaged from the right turn-over support groove 312;
next, the turnover driving part drives the turnover sliding rod 341 to slide to one side, the left turnover straight tooth 344 on the turnover sliding rod 341 drives the left turnover gear 342 to rotate, and the left turnover gear 342 further drives the left turnover shaft 321 to rotate, so that the whole turnover type cargo bucket 320 can be turned over to the left side, and cargo on the turnover type cargo bucket 320 is unloaded;
the same reason, will make convertible goods fill 320 carry out the right side upset, as long as corresponding change circular telegram current's direction, make the south north pole at electro-magnet 331 both ends exchange, like this, left side movable rod 335 just breaks away from the notch department of left side upset support groove 311, and right side movable rod 336 then seals the notch of right side upset support groove 312, and simultaneously, upset drive portion drive upset slide bar 341 is towards the opposite direction slip, then, convertible goods fill 320 alright side upset.
In the invention, the turnover type cargo bucket 320 is of a square tray body structure, the edge of the turnover type cargo bucket 320 is surrounded by the blocking edge 323 (as shown in fig. 10), and the blocking edge 323 is arranged, so that the cargo on the turnover type cargo bucket 320 can be prevented from falling off in the transportation process, and the stability of cargo transportation is improved. However, in the process of unloading the goods in the turnover type by the turnover type bucket 320, the blocking edge 323 blocks the goods, and the goods cannot be smoothly unloaded due to the blocking of the blocking edge 323. It can be seen that the provision of the blocking edge 323 is twofold. For this reason, the structure of the flip bucket 320 needs to be further optimally designed so that the cargo is not difficult to unload due to the blocking edge 323.
As shown in fig. 10, the flip bucket 320 includes: a bucket body 324, a left turn follower plate 325, and a right turn follower plate 326. The left turn-over follower plate 325 and the right turn-over follower plate 326 are rotatably provided at opposite side edges of the bucket body 324, respectively. The opposite edges of the bucket body 324 are respectively provided with a left through hole 327 and a right through hole (not shown). The left turn-over follower plate 325 is provided with a left press-holding block 325a, and the right turn-over follower plate 326 is provided with a right press-holding block 326a (see fig. 9). The left pressing block 325a is inserted into the left through hole 327 and pressed against the left magnetic block 332, and the right pressing block 326a is inserted into the right through hole and pressed against the right magnetic block 333.
The operation principle of the above-mentioned tipping bucket 320 is explained as follows:
in the process that the turnover type cargo bucket 320 is turned over towards the left side, as the left pressing block 325a on the left turning follow-up plate 325 penetrates through the left through hole 327 and is pressed on the left magnetic suction block 332, the left magnetic suction block 332 can drive the left turning follow-up plate 325 to rotate for an angle around the cargo bucket body 324 through the left pressing block 325a under the support of the left magnetic suction block 332, so that the height difference between the cargo bucket body 324 and the blocking edge 323 is filled up by the rotated left turning follow-up plate 325, and thus, cargo on the cargo bucket body 324 can be unloaded through the left turning follow-up plate 325 without being blocked by the blocking edge 323, and the cargo unloading smoothness is improved;
similarly, when the turnover type cargo bucket 320 is turned to the right, the right turning follow-up plate 326 also fills up the height difference between the cargo bucket body 324 and the blocking edge 323, so that the cargo can be smoothly unloaded.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
