In the present embodiment, the "storage position" means that the container end wall is located in a substantially horizontal position, and the "hoisting position" means that the container end wall is located in a substantially vertical position.

The container headwall may include a container front headwall 201 and a container rear headwall 202, and at the container assembly station 210, the container front headwall 201 and the container rear headwall 202 may be disposed opposite each other along the length direction of the container. Preferably, at the container assembly station 210, both the container front end wall 201 and the container rear end wall 202 may be connected to the chassis of the container.

In order to enable the container front end wall 201 and the container rear end wall 202 to be moved to the container loading bay 210, the container end wall automatic loading bay apparatus 100 may include two flipping devices 110a and 110b for flipping the container front end wall 201 and the container rear end wall 202, respectively. Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, a container front end wall 201 may be disposed on the first flipping unit 110a, and a container rear end wall 202 may be disposed on the second flipping unit 110b.

In order to avoid interference of the first conveying device and the second conveying device, the first conveying device and the second conveying device are symmetrically arranged. Preferably, the first flipping unit 110a and the second flipping unit 110b are symmetrically arranged, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation. Of course, the first and second flipping units 110a and 110b may also be arranged in the same direction to sequentially flip the container end walls.

The specific structure of the flipping apparatus will be described below.

As shown in fig. 1, the tipping device 110 includes a frame 111, a chassis 112, and a tipping drive mechanism 119, the frame 111 being used to lock the container end wall 200. The conveying direction D1 of the conveying device 180 shown in fig. 3 for conveying the container end wall 200 is parallel to the extending direction of the corner posts of the container end wall 200, and the extending direction of the end beams of the container end wall 200 is perpendicular to the conveying direction D1 of the conveying device 180 for conveying the container end wall 200.

The tipping device 110 is provided with a conveying device 180, the conveying device 180 being used for conveying container end walls 200 from other devices (not shown) onto the tipping device 110. Preferably, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the conveying apparatus 180 may include a conveying motor 181 and a conveying roller 182. Conveyor rolls 182 are provided on the frame 111 for supporting the container end walls 200. The conveying motor 181 is disposed on the chassis 112, and the conveying motor 181 is electrically connected to the conveying roller 182 to drive the conveying roller 182 to rotate, thereby moving the container end wall 200 located on the conveying roller 182.

As shown in fig. 3, the frame 111 may include two opposing beams that are spaced apart and each extend in the conveying direction D1. The distance between the two beams may be approximately the same as the dimension of the container end wall 200 in the extension direction of the end beams, so that the container end wall 200 can be accommodated between the two beams. The plurality of conveying rollers 182 may be arranged at intervals in the conveying direction D1, i.e., the surfaces of the two beams facing each other may each be provided with the plurality of conveying rollers 182 arranged at intervals. Preferably, the plurality of conveying rollers 182 provided on the two beams may be symmetrically arranged to stably support the container end wall 200.

Returning now to fig. 1, the frame 111 includes a first end 115 and a second end 116 opposite the first end 115 of the frame 111 in the conveying direction D1, and the chassis 112 includes a first end 113 and a second end 114 opposite the first end 113 of the chassis 112 in the conveying direction D1. When the container end wall 200 in the storage position is locked by the frame 111, both bottom corner pieces of the container end wall 200 are adjacent to the first end 115 of the frame 111, and both top corner pieces 203 of the container end wall 200 are adjacent to the second end 116 of the frame 111. Optionally, stops may be provided on the frame 111 to prevent the container end walls 200 from moving beyond the storage position.

The first end 115 of the frame 111 is hinged to the first end 113 of the chassis 112. Thus, the tipping device 110 can be enabled to accurately tip the container end wall 200 from the storage position to the lifting position, thereby facilitating the lifting of the container end wall 200 by the lifting device 150. Of course, the tipping arrangement 110 is also capable of accurately tipping the container headwall 200 from the lifted position to the stowed position for resetting.

To enable the tipping device 110 to tip the container end wall 200, the tipping drive mechanism 119 can drive the frame 111 to tip between the first and second positions. In the present embodiment, the chassis 111 shown in fig. 1 is located at the first position, the chassis 111 located at the first position is substantially parallel to the chassis 112, and the chassis 112 is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction. The container end wall 200 shown in fig. 1 is in a storage position, and the container end wall 200 in the storage position is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction.

The frame 111 shown in fig. 4 is located at the second position, the frame 111 located at the second position is substantially perpendicular to the chassis 112, and the chassis 112 is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction. The container end wall 200 shown in fig. 4 is located at a lifting position, and the container end wall 200 located at the lifting position is substantially vertical, that is, the height direction of the container end wall 200 located at the lifting position is a substantially vertical direction.

Returning now to fig. 1, in order to enable the container end wall 200 in the storage position to remain substantially parallel to the horizontal, the lower surface of the second end 116 of the frame 111 is provided with support legs 118, the support legs 118 extending in the height direction of the frame 111 so that the chassis 112 can support the support legs 118 so that the chassis 112 can support the frame 111 in the first position so that the frame 111 in the first position remains substantially parallel.

In order to prevent the container end wall 200 from falling during the overturning process, as shown in fig. 2, the overturning device 110 further comprises a locking member 126 and an air cylinder 127, wherein the locking member 126 and the air cylinder 127 are arranged on the frame 111, and the locking member 126 is movable around the frame 111 between a locking position and an unlocking position. Preferably, both beams of the frame 111 are provided with a locker 126 and a cylinder 127, and the cylinder 127 can drive the locker 126 to rotate. The locking member 126 is rotatable about the frame 111 between a locking position and an unlocking position, the free end of the locking member 126 in the locking position being capable of engaging the container end wall 200 such that the locking member 126 locks the container end wall 200; the free end of the locking member 126 in the unlocked position is separated from the container end wall 200, thereby unlocking the container end wall 200.

In an embodiment not shown, the cylinder may drive the locking member to be telescopic in a horizontal direction with respect to the frame, e.g. the cylinder may drive the locking member to move in a horizontal direction towards the container end wall, such that the free end of the locking member in the locked position can abut against a corner post of the container end wall, thereby enabling the locking member to lock the container end wall. The cylinder can drive the locking member to move in a direction away from the container end wall in a horizontal direction so that the locking member in the unlocking position is separated from the container end wall, and the container end wall is unlocked.

Two locking members 126 and two air cylinders 127 may be provided on the same beam, the two locking members 126 being arranged at intervals along the conveying direction D1. The locking members 126 provided on the two beams, respectively, may be symmetrically arranged.

The control device can control the action of the overturning device 110, so that the automation of overturning the container end wall by the overturning device 110 is realized. The process of turning the container end wall 200 by the turning apparatus 110 will now be described:

The control device may control the operation of the conveying motor 181, and the conveying motor 181 drives the conveying roller 182 to rotate, so that the container end wall 200 located on the conveying roller 182 moves in the conveying direction D1 with respect to the frame 111.

The control device may include a detecting device for detecting the position of the container end wall 200, and a control device capable of receiving a signal from the detecting device and controlling the next device to operate. The detection device can detect that the container end wall 200 is in the storage position and can send a signal to the control device. The control device controls the conveying motor 181 to stop operating, thereby stopping the rotation of the conveying roller 182. The control device controls the cylinder 127 to drive the locker 126 to rotate from the unlocking position to the locking position to lock the container end wall 200, thereby locking the container end wall 200. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the control device may control four cylinders 127 simultaneously to drive four locking members 126 to rotate, and the four locking members 126 can lock two corner posts of the container end wall 200, respectively.

After the locking member 126 locks the container end wall 200, the control device can control the flip drive mechanism 119 to flip the frame 111 between the first position and the second position. Specifically, the flip drive mechanism 119 includes a movable end and a fixed end, the movable end of the flip drive mechanism 119 may be connected to the chassis 111, and the fixed end of the flip drive mechanism 119 is connected to the chassis 112. The turnover driving mechanism 119 may be configured as an oil cylinder, a movable end of the turnover driving mechanism 119 may be connected to the frame 111, and a fixed end of the turnover driving mechanism 119 may be connected to the chassis 112. The inversion driving mechanism 119 can stably drive the chassis 111 to invert between the first position and the second position based on the hydraulic transmission principle. Preferably, the angle between the frame 111 in the first position and the frame 111 between the second positions is 85-95 degrees, so as to ensure that the container end wall in the lifted position is in a substantially vertical position.

Further, in order to avoid long-term stress of the tilting drive mechanism 119, the tilting apparatus further includes a guide plate 120 and a connecting rod 124. The guide plate 120 may be generally configured as a triangular plate. The guide plate 120 includes a first hinge end 121, a second hinge end 122, and a third hinge end 123, and the first hinge end 121 of the guide plate 120 may be hinged with the frame 111, preferably, the first hinge end 121 of the guide plate 120 is hinged with the lower surface of the frame 111. The second hinge end 122 of the guide plate 120 is hinged to the movable end of the tumble drive mechanism 119, and the third hinge end 123 of the guide plate 120 is hinged to the top end of the connecting rod 124. The bottom end of the connecting rod 124 is hinged to the chassis 112, and in order to save the travel of the movable end of the flip drive mechanism 119, the position where the connecting rod 124 is hinged to the chassis 112 and the position where the fixed end of the flip drive mechanism 119 is hinged to the chassis 112 may be located between the first end 113 and the second end 114 of the chassis 112 and near the first end 113 of the chassis 112.

The movable end of the overturning driving mechanism 119 moves to drive the guide plate 120 and the connecting rod 124 to move, so that the overturning driving mechanism 119 can drive the frame 111 positioned at the first position to be overturned upwards to the second position, thereby enabling the container end wall 200 to be overturned from the storage position to the lifting position, enabling the container end wall 200 positioned at the lifting position to be vertical to the horizontal direction, and further enabling the top corner piece of the container end wall 200 to be positioned above the bottom corner piece.

To prevent the frame 111 from being turned over by too much angle, the turning apparatus 110 further includes a blocking member to block the frame 111 from being turned over by too much angle. To further control the flip angle of the frame 111, a stroke of the movable end of the flip drive mechanism 119 may also be provided to avoid the frame 111 from being flipped out of place. Thus, the overturning device 110 can ensure that the container end wall 200 is stably overturned to the lifting position, so that the lifting device 150 can accurately position and grasp the container end wall 200, and the reliability of unmanned operation is ensured.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the lifting apparatus 150 is capable of lifting a container end wall 200 in a lifting position. Specifically, the rail 140 is disposed above the flipping unit, and the hanging unit 150 is disposed on the rail 140 and movable in a horizontal direction with respect to the rail 140. Preferably, the rail 140 may be configured in a ring shape, and the moving trace of the lifting device 150 may be substantially in a ring shape. The rails are disposed above the tipping device and the container assembly table, preferably, the rails are disposed directly above the tipping device and the container assembly table, such that the rails can be looped through and directly above the tipping device and the container assembly table, thereby facilitating the movement of the container end wall 200 from the tipping device to the container assembly table 210 by the lifting device 150, and saving the floor space of the container end wall automatic assembly table apparatus 100.

After the container end wall 200 is turned to the lifting position, the control device can control the lifting device 150 to move to the position above the turning device 110 along the horizontal direction, and control the lifting device 150 to lift the container end wall 200 located at the lifting position, and finally control the lifting device 150 to move the container end wall 200 to the container assembly platform 210 along the horizontal direction.

The following describes operations such as movement and lifting of the lifting device 150.

As shown in fig. 5 to 7, the lifting apparatus 150 includes a traveling mechanism 153 and a first driving mechanism 170, the traveling mechanism 153 being disposed on the rail 140 and being movable in a horizontal direction with respect to the rail 140. The cross-section shape of the rail 140 may be a substantially "i" shape, and the travelling mechanism 153 may include two travelling wheels arranged relatively, where the two travelling wheels may be suspended on the rail 140 and may move relative to the rail 140, so as to ensure stability of the travelling mechanism 153 during movement and ensure that the travelling mechanism 153 is not easy to fall off from the rail 140.

The first driving mechanism 170 is connected to the traveling mechanism 153, and the first driving mechanism 170 may be a motor, and the motor may be electrically connected to the control device and the traveling mechanism 153, respectively, and the control device may control the motor to operate so as to drive the traveling mechanism 153 to move. In this way, the control device can control the lifting device 150 to stably move to the upper part of the overturning device 110, and automation of the movement of the lifting device 150 can be realized.

The lifting apparatus 150 further includes a lifting tool 160, and the lifting tool 160 may be movable in a height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100, so that the lifting tool 160 can lift the container end wall 200 located below. In the present embodiment, the height direction of the hoisting device 150 may be substantially parallel to the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100, and the height direction of the hoisting device 150 may be also substantially parallel to the height direction of the container end wall 200 located at the hoisting position.

In order to enable the lifting tool 160 to stably move in the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100, the lifting apparatus 150 further includes a lifting mechanism 151 and a second driving mechanism 171 connected to the lifting mechanism 151, a top end of the lifting mechanism 151 is connected to the traveling mechanism 153, and a bottom end of the lifting mechanism 151 is connected to the lifting tool 160. In this way, when the traveling mechanism 153 moves relative to the rail 140, the elevating mechanism 151 and the second driving mechanism 171 may also move together with the traveling mechanism 153 relative to the rail 140.

Alternatively, the lifting mechanism 151 may be a pulley block, the top end of the pulley block may be connected to the second driving mechanism 171, and the bottom end of the pulley block may be connected to the lifting appliance 160, so that the second driving mechanism 171 drives the pulley block to rotate, thereby driving the lifting appliance 160 to move along the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100. Thus, the lifting appliance 160 can stably move along the height direction of the automatic container end wall loading assembly table device 100, and automation of the movement of the lifting appliance 160 along the height direction of the automatic container end wall loading assembly table device 100 is realized.

Further, the lifting device 150 further includes a guide rod 152, a top end of the guide rod 152 is connected to the traveling mechanism 153, and a bottom end of the guide rod 152 is connected to the lifting tool 160. In this way, when the traveling mechanism 153 moves relative to the rail 140, the guide rod 152 may also move relative to the rail 140 together with the traveling mechanism 153. The guide rods 152 may have a variable dimension along the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100, for example, the length of the guide rods 152 may be increased as the spreader 160 moves downward along the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100, and the length of the guide rods 152 may be decreased as the spreader 160 moves upward along the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100. Thus, the guide rods 152 can restrict the lifting tool 160 in the horizontal direction when moving along the height direction of the automatic container end wall loading assembly table device 100, prevent the lifting tool 160 from deviating from a path when moving, ensure that the lifting tool 160 can accurately move towards the direction of the container end wall 200, and also ensure that the lifting tool 160 is prevented from swinging when moving along the height direction of the automatic container end wall loading assembly table device 100.

Further, in order to enable the spreader 160 to more accurately hoist the container end wall 200, the spreader 160 may be further provided with a fine adjustment mechanism 165, and the fine adjustment mechanism 165 may finely adjust the position of the spreader 160 after the control device detects the position of the container end wall 200 located at the hoisting position.

The control device can control the second driving mechanism 171 to drive the spreader 160 to move in the direction of the height of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100 toward the container end wall 200 so that the spreader 160 approaches the container end wall 200. The spreader 160 may comprise a spreader 161 and a lock 162, the control device being further capable of controlling the lock 162 such that the lock 162 can lock or unlock corner pieces of the container end wall 200.

The hanger 161 may be connected to the bottom end of the lifting mechanism 151 such that, when the running mechanism 153 moves relative to the rail 140, the hanger 161 may also move together with the running mechanism 153 relative to the rail 140. The lifting mechanism 151 operates to drive the hanger 161 to move in the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100. Both sides of the hanger 161 are provided with locks 162, the locks 162 may include lock cylinders 163 and torsion locks 164 for locking corner pieces of the container end walls 200, the lock cylinders 163 may drive the torsion locks 164 to rotate, and the lock cylinders 163 may include pistons which may be movable in a horizontal direction based on a hydraulic transmission principle. The piston may be coupled to the twist lock 164 by a rotation mechanism that the piston may push to rotate the twist lock 164 between the locked and unlocked positions.

The control device controls the spreader 160 to move over the container end wall 200 and automatically detects the position of the top corner piece 203 of the container end wall 200. Preferably, the control device detects the top hole position of the top corner piece 203 and the two twistlocks 164 are aligned with the top openings of the two top corner pieces 203 of the container end wall 200, respectively. The control device controls the operation of the lifting mechanism 151 or the fine adjustment mechanism 165 so that the spreader 160 continues to move downward in the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100, and the two twist locks 164 are inserted into the two top corner pieces 203, respectively. The control device controls the lock cylinder 163 to operate, and the piston can rotate through the rotating mechanism to drive the rotation of the twist lock 164, so that the twist lock 164 rotates 90 degrees to lock the top corner piece 203, and the lock 162 automatically locks the top corner piece 203. The control device controls the lifting appliance 160 to move upward in the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100, thereby lifting the container end wall 200.

When the lifting appliance 160 needs to be unlocked with the container end wall 200, the piston moves to rotate through the rotating mechanism to drive the torsion lock 164 to rotate, so that the torsion lock 164 is located at the unlocking position, and the lock 162 automatically unlocks the top corner fitting 203. The control device controls the spreader 160 to move upward in the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100 so that the twistlocks 164 are separated from the top corner members 203.

Returning now to fig. 5, to ensure that the twistlock 164 can accurately enter the top corner fitting 203, a guide plate 166 may also be provided laterally of the twistlock 164, the guide plate 166 extending downwardly from the lower surface of the hanger 161, the guide plate 166 being spaced from the twistlock 164 along the direction of extension of the hanger 161. When the hanger 161 moves downward in the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100, the guide plate 166 may abut against the outer wall of the top corner member 203 facing the outside, so that the twist lock 164 may accurately enter the top corner member 203, and the operation difficulty is reduced. Further, both sides of the hanger 161 are provided with guide plates 166, and both guide plates 166 are located at sides of the two twist locks 164 away from each other, respectively. In this way, the guide plate 166 can more accurately locate the positions of the two top corner pieces 203 of the container end wall 200, ensuring that the two twist locks 164 can accurately enter the two top corner pieces 203.

After the spreader 160 locks the container end wall 200, the control device controls the cylinder 127 to drive the locking member 126 to rotate to unlock the container end wall 200, thereby separating the container end wall 200 from the frame 111 of the flipping device 110. The control device controls the second driving mechanism 171 to drive the spreader 160 to move upward in the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading dock apparatus 100, so that the container end wall moves upward away from the flipping device 110. The lifting apparatus 150 performs the action of lifting the container end wall 200. The control device controls the flipping device 110 such that the rack 111 is flipped from the second position to the first position to await the next container end wall 200 to be transferred onto the rack 111.

After the hoisting device 150 lifts the container end wall 200, the control device may control the traveling mechanism 153 to move in a horizontal direction with respect to the rail 140, so that the container end wall 200 moves to the container assembly stage 210 in the horizontal direction.

As shown in fig. 8, the container end wall automatic loading and assembly table device 100 may include two lifting devices 150a and 150b, and the two lifting devices 150a and 150b may lift the container front end wall 201 and the container rear end wall 202, respectively, thereby saving time and improving work efficiency.

Specifically, the control device controls the first conveying device to operate so that the container front end wall 201 can be conveyed onto the first flipping device 110a via the first conveying device. The control device controls the operation of the second conveyor device so that the container rear end wall 202 can be conveyed via the second conveyor device onto the second tipping device 110 b. The first conveying equipment and the second conveying equipment can be symmetrically arranged, and the first turnover equipment 110a and the second turnover equipment 110b are symmetrically arranged, so that the first conveying equipment and the first turnover equipment 110a are reasonably arranged, the matching installation difficulty between the first conveying equipment and the first turnover equipment 110a is reduced, and the matching installation difficulty between the second conveying equipment and the second turnover equipment 110b can also be reduced.

The second end of the first flipping unit 110a and the second end of the second flipping unit 110b are close to each other, and the first end of the first flipping unit 110a and the first end of the second flipping unit 110b are far away from each other. The top corner pieces of the front end wall 201 and the top corner pieces of the rear end wall 202 of the container in the storage position are positioned between the bottom corner pieces of the front end wall 201 and the bottom corner pieces of the rear end wall 202 of the container.

When the first turning device 110a and the second turning device 110b are turned in opposite directions, and the control device controls the first turning device 110a to turn the front end wall 201 of the container from the storage position to the lifting position by approximately 90 degrees, the front end wall 201 of the container is turned in a direction away from the second turning device 110b, so that the top corner piece of the front end wall 201 of the container located at the lifting position is located above the bottom corner piece.

When the control device controls the second turning device 110b to turn the container rear end wall 202 approximately 90 degrees from the storage position to the lifting position, the container rear end wall 202 is turned in a direction away from the first turning device 110a, so that the top corner piece of the container rear end wall 202 located at the lifting position is located above the bottom corner piece. Alternatively, the control device can control the first flipping device 110a and the second flipping device 110b to flip simultaneously.

The first lifting device 150a may be located upstream of the second lifting device 150 b. After the front end wall 201 of the container is turned to the lifting position, the control device controls the first lifting device 150a to move above the first turning device 110 a. After the first lifting device 150a moves in place, the control device controls the lifting appliance of the first lifting device 150a to move downwards along the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100 so as to lift the container front end wall 201.

After the rear end wall 202 of the container is turned to the lifting position, the control device controls the second lifting device 150b to move above the second turning device 110 b. After the second lifting device 150b moves in place, the control device controls the lifting appliance of the second lifting device 150b to move downwards along the height direction of the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100 so as to lift the container rear end wall 202. Optionally, the control device can control the first lifting device 150a and the second lifting device 150b to move simultaneously, and can also control the first lifting device 150a and the second lifting device 150b to lift simultaneously, so as to ensure the synchronicity of lifting the front end wall 201 and the rear end wall 202 of the container.

After the first lifting device 150a lifts the container front end wall 201, the control device can control the first lifting device 150a to move in a horizontal direction with respect to the rail 140. After the second lifting device 150b lifts the container rear end wall 202, the control device can control the second lifting device 150b to move in a horizontal direction with respect to the rail 140. Alternatively, the control device can control the first 150a and second 150b lifting devices to move simultaneously.

As shown in connection with fig. 9, the control device may control the first 150a and second 150b lifting devices to move to a waiting area between the container loading station 210 and the flipping device 110 to wait for the container front end wall 201 and the container rear end wall 202 at the container loading station 210 to be assembled. The operator of the container assembly station 210 performs the next operation after safety confirmation.

After the front end wall 201 and the rear end wall 202 of the container at the container assembly platform 210 are assembled, the control device receives the signals and sends corresponding operation instructions to the first hoisting device 150a and the second hoisting device 150b, and the first hoisting device 150a and the second hoisting device 150b move to the container assembly platform 210 along the horizontal direction relative to the rail 140. Thus, the whole hoisting process has the advantages of automatic hoisting and safety confirmation of workers, and the hoisting work is ensured to be safe and reliable. The safety confirmation work can be completed by the assembly workers on the container assembly platform 210, and two full-time material hanging operators can be saved in a single shift. The technology has wide application range and can effectively promote the technical progress of the industry.

The first lifting device 150a moves the front end wall 201 of the container to the corresponding position of the container assembly table 210, and the lifting appliance of the first lifting device 150a moves downwards along the height direction of the container end wall automatic assembly table device 100, so that the container assembly table 210 positions and clamps the front end wall 201 of the container. After the container assembly stand 210 fixes the container front end wall 201, the control device controls the lifting appliance of the first lifting device 150a to unlock the container front end wall 201 and separate the first lifting device 150a from the container front end wall 201, and the container assembly stand 210 buckles the top corner piece 203 of the container front end wall 201 to enter the assembly action. The control device then controls the first lifting device 150a to move in a horizontal direction with respect to the rail 140 to above the first flipping device 110a of the front wall lifting zone. The actions of the second lifting device 150b are similar to those of the first lifting device 150a, and will not be described again here.

Preferably, the first lifting device 150a and the second lifting device 150b can move in the same direction at the same time, so that the first lifting device 150a and the second lifting device 150b act sequentially, and the front end wall 201 and the rear end wall 202 of the container are conveyed to the corresponding positions of the container assembly table 210 and then discharged accurately, so that the device can be widely applied.

Further, in order to improve the working efficiency, as shown in fig. 9, the container end wall automatic loading assembly table device 100 includes four lifting devices, two of which lift the container front end wall and the container rear end wall respectively and move to the container assembly table 210, and the other two of which lift the other container front end wall and the other container rear end wall respectively and move to the waiting area. Therefore, the four lifting devices can move in the same direction, and mutual interference is avoided.

First, the control device controls the first lifting device 150a to lift the front end wall 201 of the container in the front end wall lifting area, and the control device controls the second lifting device 150b to lift the rear end wall 202 of the container in the rear end wall lifting area. The control device controls the first hoisting device 150a of the front end wall of the hoisted container and the second hoisting device 150b of the rear end wall of the hoisted container to move to the container assembly table 210 via the waiting area, thereby moving a group of the front end wall of the container and the rear end wall of the container to the container assembly table 210.

After the first lifting device 150a and the second lifting device 150b move to the container assembly platform 210, the control device controls the third lifting device 150c and the fourth lifting device 150d to act. The control device controls the third lifting device 150c to lift the front end wall of another container in the front end wall lifting area, and the control device controls the fourth lifting device 150d to lift the rear end wall of another container in the rear end wall lifting area. The control device controls the third lifting device 150c, which has lifted the front end wall of another container, and the fourth lifting device 150d, which has lifted the rear end wall of another container, to move to the waiting area, thereby waiting for the completion of the actions of the first lifting device 150a and the second lifting device 150b at the container assembly station 210.

The four lifting devices can all move in the same direction relative to the rail 140 along the horizontal direction, for example, the four lifting devices can all move horizontally relative to the rail 140 along the clockwise direction, and the lifting is automatically circulated, so that the front end walls and the rear end walls of two groups of containers are sequentially moved to the container assembly platform 210. Therefore, the four hoisting devices can act simultaneously, and two groups of container end walls (front end walls and rear end walls of the container) can be moved on the rail 140 simultaneously, so that the working time is greatly saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

According to the automatic container end wall loading and assembling table device, the control equipment can control the turning equipment to act, the track is arranged above the turning equipment, the control equipment can control the lifting equipment to move horizontally relative to the track, the turning equipment turns the container end wall from the storage position to the lifting position, the control equipment controls the lifting equipment to move horizontally relative to the track to the upper side of the turning equipment, and the lifting appliance is controlled to move in the height direction of the automatic container end wall loading and assembling table device so as to lift the container end wall located at the lifting position, and after the lifting equipment lifts the container end wall, the control equipment controls the lifting equipment to move the container end wall to the container assembly table in the horizontal direction.

Like this, whole process full automatization unmanned operation can realize the pay-off automation of container end wall, automatic upset container end wall, automatic locking and lift by crane container end wall, automatic remove container end wall and automatic place container end wall accuracy at the container assembly platform, practices thrift the human cost, improves degree of automation.
