Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material handling technology, and in particular to a wheeled and tracked material handling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Material handling involves moving large quantities of goods from one place to another. In logistics, construction, mining, and special operating environments, traditional material handling equipment often faces the problem of poor terrain adaptability. While wheeled material handling vehicles are efficient and flexible on hardened surfaces, they are prone to slipping and getting stuck on soft, muddy, or rugged unstructured ground. Tracked material handling vehicles, on the other hand, have good traction and obstacle-crossing capabilities, but are slow, energy-intensive, and difficult to turn on flat surfaces. To cope with complex and ever-changing operating scenarios, a single walking mode is no longer sufficient to meet actual needs.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the driving method needs to be switched according to the actual situation. If it is inconvenient to switch, the ease of use of the handling mechanism will be affected during subsequent use, thus reducing the efficiency of the mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention discloses a wheel-track dual-purpose transport mechanism, which aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A wheeled and tracked dual-purpose transport mechanism includes a frame, a front axle assembly and a rear axle assembly respectively disposed at the bottom of the frame, a switching assembly disposed at the bottom of the frame, and a track assembly disposed at the bottom of the switching assembly.

[0006] Both sides of the bottom of the frame are fixedly installed with horizontal plates, and damping rods are inserted into the horizontal plates. A baffle is fixedly installed on the top of the damping rod, and the baffle and the horizontal plate are fixedly connected by a tension spring that is wrapped around the surface of the damping rod.

[0007] With the front and rear axle assemblies, along with cross plates, damping rods, baffles, and tension springs, the mechanism is easy to protect and move during use. This facilitates rolling operations during subsequent use, improving the handling efficiency and making it more convenient for future applications.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the front axle assembly includes a bogie rotatably connected to the bottom of one set of damping rods via a pivot, and steering wheels are rotatably connected inside the bogie via a pivot.

[0009] The bogies and damping rods are designed to facilitate installation and positioning during use, which in turn facilitates subsequent steering operations.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a drive motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the bogie, and the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the bogie and extends into the interior of the bogie, where it is fixedly connected to the axle of the steering wheel.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the rear axle assembly includes a roller frame with a fixedly mounted bottom of another set of damping rods, the roller frame having rollers rotatably connected inside via a pivot.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the switching assembly includes a housing fixedly mounted on the bottom of the frame, with an electric push rod disposed inside the housing.

[0013] The electric push rod, when extended during use, causes the track wheels on the track frame to contact the ground, thus separating the rollers and steering wheels from the ground. This allows the motor to be controlled to rotate the track wheels. Conversely, when the electric push rod is extended, the track wheels rise, and the steering wheels and rollers contact the ground, at which point the track wheels are no longer in contact with the ground.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the track assembly includes a track frame fixedly mounted at the bottom of an electric push rod, a track wheel rotatably connected inside the track frame via a rotating shaft, a rotating motor being provided on one side of the track frame, and the output shaft of the rotating motor being fixedly connected to the axis of the track wheel.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a fixed housing is fixedly installed on one side of the track frame, and one side of the inner wall of the fixed housing is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating motor.

[0016] By setting up switching components and track components, the drive mode can be easily switched during use, which facilitates the use of the handling mechanism and improves its efficiency, thus making it easier for staff to operate.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the housing further includes a protective assembly and a warning mounting assembly. The protective assembly includes a protective tube fixedly installed on the top wall of the housing. A buffer plate is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the protective tube, and a sliding guard plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the buffer plate. The bottom of the sliding guard plate is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod. A touch tube is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the protective tube, and a touch spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the touch tube. A touch mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the touch spring, and a touch switch is fixedly installed at the bottom of the touch mounting plate. The protective tube facilitates protective operation of the components during use, thus maintaining the protective performance of the touch switch during subsequent use and improving its service life. The buffer plate and sliding guard plate provide protection and cushioning during use, thus maintaining the ease of use of the mechanism.

[0018] The alarm installation assembly includes a positioning sleeve fixedly installed on the top wall of the housing. An alarm is inserted inside the positioning sleeve. A magnetic ring is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning sleeve, and a connecting rod is inserted inside the magnetic ring. One end of the connecting rod passes through the positioning sleeve and extends into the sleeve to connect with one side of the alarm. A magnetic plate is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod, magnetically attracting the magnetic ring. A handle is fixedly installed on one side of the magnetic plate, and the surface of the handle has anti-slip textured protrusions. The positioning sleeve protects the alarm during use, preventing damage and facilitating its installation and positioning, thus maintaining the stability of the component. During use, the magnetic ring and magnetic plate, through their magnetic attraction, limit the connecting rod inside the positioning sleeve, thereby achieving the installation and positioning of the alarm and maintaining the ease of use of the mechanism.

[0019] By incorporating protective and warning installation components, it is convenient to protect the parts during use, thereby preventing excessive pressure on the machine during subsequent use. When the mechanism is subjected to excessive pressure, the touch switch will be squeezed, causing the touch switch to activate the alarm. In this case, the mechanism should be controlled to move slowly, which improves the service life of the mechanism and facilitates subsequent use.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, the wheel-track dual-purpose transport mechanism provided by the present invention has the following technical effects.

[0021] Firstly, by setting up switching components and track components, it is convenient to switch the drive mode during use, which facilitates the use of the handling mechanism and improves its efficiency, thus making it easier for staff to operate.

[0022] Secondly, the front and rear axle assemblies, along with the cross plate, damping rod, baffle, and tension spring, facilitate protection and movement during use. This also makes rolling operations easier, improving the handling efficiency of the mechanism and making it more convenient for subsequent use.

[0023] Thirdly, the protective and early warning installation components facilitate the protection of the parts during use, thereby preventing excessive pressure on the machine during subsequent use. When the mechanism is subjected to excessive pressure, the touch switch will be squeezed, which will cause the touch switch to activate the alarm. At this time, the mechanism should be controlled to move slowly, which improves the service life of the mechanism and facilitates subsequent use. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-8 A wheeled and tracked dual-purpose transport mechanism includes a frame 1, a front axle assembly 2 and a rear axle assembly 3 respectively disposed at the bottom of the frame 1, a switching assembly 4 disposed at the bottom of the frame 1, and a track assembly 5 disposed at the bottom of the switching assembly 4. The front axle assembly 2 includes a bogie 200 rotatably connected to the bottom of one set of damping rods 7 via a pivot shaft. A steering wheel 201 is rotatably connected inside the bogie 200 via a pivot shaft. The bogie 200 and damping rods 7 are arranged to facilitate installation and positioning during use, thereby facilitating subsequent steering operations. A drive motor 202 is fixedly installed on one side of the bogie 200. The output shaft of the drive motor 202 passes through the bogie 200 and extends into the interior of the bogie 200, where it is fixedly connected to the axis of the steering wheel 201.

[0035] A cross plate 6 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1. A damping rod 7 is inserted on the cross plate 6. A baffle 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the damping rod 7. The baffle 8 and the cross plate 6 are fixedly connected by a tension spring 9 that is arranged around the surface of the damping rod 7.

[0036] The rear axle assembly 3 includes a roller frame 300 with another set of damping rods 7 fixedly mounted on the bottom. The roller frame 300 has rollers 301 rotatably connected inside via a rotating shaft.

[0037] The switching component 4 includes a housing 400 fixedly installed at the bottom of the chassis 1. An electric push rod 401 is installed inside the housing 400. During use, when the electric push rod 401 extends, it will drive the track wheel 501 on the track frame 500 to contact the ground, thereby separating the roller 301 and the steering wheel 201 from the ground. This allows the rotation motor 502 to work and drive the track wheel 501 to rotate. Conversely, when the electric push rod 401 is shortened, the track wheel 501 rises, and the steering wheel 201 and the roller 301 contact the ground. At this time, the track wheel 501 is not in contact with the ground.

[0038] With the front axle assembly 2 and rear axle assembly 3, along with the cross plate 6, damping rod 7, baffle 8 and tension spring 9, it is convenient to protect and move the axle during use. Therefore, it is convenient to roll the axle during subsequent use, which improves the handling efficiency of the mechanism and facilitates its use.

[0039] The track assembly 5 includes a track frame 500 fixedly mounted at the bottom of an electric push rod 401. A track wheel 501 is rotatably connected inside the track frame 500 via a rotating shaft. A rotary motor 502 is provided on one side of the track frame 500. The output shaft of the rotary motor 502 is fixedly connected to the axis of the track wheel 501. A fixed housing 503 is fixedly mounted on one side of the track frame 500. One side of the inner wall of the fixed housing 503 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotary motor 502. The switching component 4 and the track assembly 5 are provided to facilitate switching of their drive mode during use, thereby facilitating the use of the handling mechanism and improving its efficiency. This also makes it easier for operators to operate the mechanism.

[0040] The housing 400 also includes a protective assembly 10 and a warning installation assembly 11. The protective assembly 10 includes a protective tube 1000 fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the housing 400. A buffer plate 1001 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the protective tube 1000. A sliding guard plate 1002 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the buffer plate 1001. The bottom of the sliding guard plate 1002 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod 401. A touch tube 1003 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the protective tube 1000. A touch spring 1004 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the touch tube 1003. A touch mounting plate 1005 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the spring 1004, and a touch switch 1006 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the touch mounting plate 1005. The protective tube 1000 is provided to facilitate the protection of the components during use, thereby maintaining the protective performance of the touch switch 1006 during subsequent use and improving the service life of the touch switch 1006. The buffer plate 1001 and the sliding guard plate 1002 are also provided to protect and buffer the components during use, thus maintaining the ease of use of the mechanism.

[0041] The warning installation assembly 11 includes a positioning sleeve 1100 fixedly installed on the top wall of the housing 400. An alarm 1101 is inserted inside the positioning sleeve 1100. A magnetic ring 1102 is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning sleeve 1100. A connecting rod 1103 is inserted inside the magnetic ring 1102. One end of the connecting rod 1103 passes through the positioning sleeve 1100 and extends into the interior of the positioning sleeve 1100 to connect with one side of the alarm 1101. A magnetic plate 1104 is fixedly installed on one end of the connecting rod 1103 to magnetically attract the magnetic ring 1102. A handle is fixedly installed on one side of the magnetic plate 1104. The handle surface is fixedly equipped with anti-slip textured protrusions, and the positioning sleeve 1100 is provided to protect the alarm 1101 during use, thereby preventing damage to the alarm 1101. It also facilitates its installation and positioning, maintaining the stability of the component. The magnetic ring 1102 and magnetic plate 1104 are provided. During use, the magnetic force between the magnetic ring 1102 and magnetic plate 1104 can limit the plug rod 1103 inside the positioning sleeve 1100, thereby achieving the installation and positioning of the alarm 1101, thus maintaining the ease of use of the mechanism.

[0042] With the protective component 10 and the early warning installation component 11, it is convenient to protect the components during use, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the machine during subsequent use. At the same time, when the mechanism is subjected to excessive pressure, the touch switch 1006 will be squeezed, which will cause the touch switch 1006 to control the alarm 1101 to sound an alarm. At this time, the mechanism should be controlled to move slowly, which improves the service life of the mechanism and facilitates subsequent use.

[0043] Working Principle: The switching component 4 and track component 5 facilitate switching of the drive mode during use, thus simplifying the operation of the conveying mechanism and improving its efficiency. This also facilitates operator control. The front axle component 2 and rear axle component 3, along with the cross plate 6, damping rod 7, baffle 8, and tension spring 9, provide protection and facilitate movement during operation, allowing for rolling and improving the conveying efficiency. The protective component 10 and warning installation component 11 protect the components from excessive pressure during use. Excessive pressure will cause the touch switch 1006 to be pressed, triggering the alarm 1101. In this case, the mechanism should be slowed down, extending its service life and facilitating subsequent operation.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
