Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer equipment technology, and in particular to a vertical transfer device for a shelf. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, the transfer of materials along the vertical rails of shelving is a common process. Traditional transfer methods have several shortcomings: First, the existing shelving structure is poorly designed, resulting in limited storage space and restricted material stacking. Second, due to the lack of effective transfer devices, operators must frequently perform manual handling, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Third, materials are prone to slipping during transport, posing safety hazards. Especially in scenarios requiring material height adjustment, current technology cannot achieve smooth lifting, leading to the risk of material swaying during transfer. Furthermore, existing devices struggle to automatically position and fix materials, making them prone to shifting during transport and affecting subsequent processing accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical rack transfer device that can improve material transfer efficiency, reduce labor intensity, prevent material slippage, and achieve smooth lifting and automatic positioning.
[0004] This utility model is implemented using the following method: a vertical transfer device for a shelf includes a supporting base plate, with casters arranged around the lower surface of the supporting base plate. Support sleeves are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the supporting base plate, with a lifting plate embedded within each sleeve. A placement plate is mounted on the upper surface of the lifting plate. A lifting component for driving the placement plate up and down is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the supporting base plate. A barrier is provided at the left end of the upper surface of the placement plate, with a limiting groove on its upper surface. A U-shaped receiving plate is hinged within the limiting groove via a first screw. A strip-shaped groove is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the placement plate, with a drive motor installed within it. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a second screw, with a moving block spirally sleeved on the second screw. An L-shaped barrier is provided on the upper surface of the moving block.
[0005] Furthermore, a rotating block is provided at the front end of the first screw.
[0006] Furthermore, the lifting component includes an electric telescopic rod, and the electric telescopic rod is provided on both the left and right sides of the rear end of the upper surface of the support base plate. The end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the bottom surface of the placement plate.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves flexible movement through universal wheels, and the support sleeve and lifting plate, together with the electric telescopic rod, achieve height adjustment. The drive motor drives the second screw to drive the L-shaped enclosure for material positioning. The enclosure and the U-shaped receiving plate form a multi-protection structure, which has the advantages of improving material transfer efficiency, reducing labor intensity, preventing material slippage, achieving stable lifting and automatic positioning; the storage space is increased, and when full, it can be directly pushed to the drilling machine for drilling, reducing multiple material handling actions.

[0009] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the second state of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0010] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0011] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides an embodiment: a vertical transfer device for a shelf, including a supporting base plate 1. Universal wheels 2 are provided around the lower surface of the supporting base plate 1. Support sleeves 3 are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the supporting base plate 1. A lifting plate 4 is embedded in the support sleeve 3. A placement plate 5 is mounted on the upper surface of the lifting plate 4. A lifting component 6 for driving the placement plate 5 to move up and down is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the supporting base plate 1. A barrier 51 is provided at the left end of the upper surface of the placement plate 5. A limiting groove 52 is formed on the upper surface of the barrier 51. A U-shaped receiving plate 54 is hinged in the limiting groove 52 via a first screw 53. A strip-shaped groove 55 is formed in the middle of the upper surface of the placement plate 5. A drive motor (not shown) is provided in the strip-shaped groove 55. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a second screw 56. A moving block 57 is spirally sleeved on the second screw 56. An L-shaped barrier 58 is provided on the upper surface of the moving block 57.
[0012] The system comprises the following components: Support base 1 (1), which is the base supporting the overall structure and can be made of welded steel plate to provide a stable support foundation; Casters 2 (2), which are moving parts with braking function and can be made of polyurethane material to allow for free movement and positioning of the device; Support sleeve 3, which is a guide structure vertically fixed to the base and can be made of seamless steel pipe to guide the vertical movement of the lifting platform; Lifting platform 4, which is the lifting component supporting the placement platform and can be made of aluminum alloy plate, with adjustable height to meet different operational needs; Placement platform 5, which is the material carrying platform and can be made of grid-like steel plate for easy observation and material securing; Lifting component 6, which is the mechanism driving the lifting and can be made of hydraulic cylinder or electric push rod to adjust the platform height; Enclosure 51, which is a protective structure set at the edge of the platform and can be made of welded angle steel frame to prevent materials from sliding sideways; and Limiting groove 52, which is a positioning structure on the enclosure and can be designed with a U-shaped groove for installing adjustable receiving components. The U-shaped receiving plate 54 refers to the receiving device hinged within the limiting groove. It can be made of steel plate with rubber edging to accommodate temporary storage of materials of different sizes. The strip groove 55 refers to the track structure opened along the length of the platform. It can be formed by milling to provide running space for moving parts. The drive motor refers to the power output device, which can be a stepper motor or servo motor to precisely control the movement speed. The second screw 56 refers to the transmission component, which can be a trapezoidal threaded rod to convert rotational motion into linear motion. The moving block refers to the sliding component that cooperates with the screw. It can be a copper alloy nut seat to drive the L-shaped enclosure to move back and forth. The L-shaped enclosure 58 refers to the limiting structure set on the moving block. It can be made of bent steel plate to form an adjustable material separation area.
[0013] Specifically, the support base plate allows for flexible movement of the entire device via casters, and can be secured in place by a wheel locking device once it reaches the designated position. When the load-bearing height needs adjustment, the lifting mechanism drives the lifting plate to move vertically within the support sleeve, bringing the placement plate to the appropriate height. After the material is placed on the placement plate, the U-shaped receiving plate can adjust its hinge angle according to the material size and is fixed in position by a fastening device within the limiting groove. Once the drive motor starts, it rotates the screw, causing the moving block to move horizontally along the strip groove, creating an adjustable material separation area with an L-shaped enclosure. By coordinating the control of the lifting height and the enclosure position, it can adapt to the storage and transfer needs of materials of different specifications.
[0014] Compared to existing technologies, this device solves the problems of fixed position and non-adjustable height of traditional shelves through a combination of a movable base and a height-adjustable support platform. The added limiting groove and adjustable receiving plate structure are more adaptable to the storage needs of materials of different sizes compared to fixed enclosures. The automatic enclosure adjustment function, achieved through a drive motor and screw transmission mechanism, significantly improves operational efficiency and positioning accuracy compared to manual adjustment.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves automated control of the material transfer process, reducing the number of manual handling operations. The adjustable limit structure and movable barriers effectively prevent material slippage, improving operational safety. The height-adjustable support platform adapts to different operational scenarios, and the overall device balances mobility and operational stability.
[0016] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a rotating block 59 is provided at the front end of the first screw 53.
[0017] The rotating block refers to a manually rotatable component installed at the front end of the first screw 53, which can be made of plastic or metal with anti-slip texture. This component provides the function of manually adjusting the screw rotation, allowing direct operation of the first screw 53 when the drive motor is not running or when rapid fine-tuning is required, thereby flexibly controlling the position of the moving block.
[0018] Specifically, the rotating block is assembled to the front end of the screw via a threaded connection or snap-fit fixing. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the L-shaped enclosure, the rotating block can be manually rotated to drive the screw to rotate, causing the helically fitted moving block to move along the screw axis, thereby adjusting the coverage area of the L-shaped enclosure. This design allows operators to add a manual control method in addition to electric drive, such as for quick response when urgently avoiding obstacles or temporarily adjusting the material placement area.
[0019] Compared to existing technologies, current transfer devices typically rely solely on a motor-driven screw, making it impossible to adjust the enclosure position during equipment failures or power outages, thus limiting material transfer. This solution, by adding a rotating block, achieves both manual and electric dual-mode control, avoiding disruptions to operational continuity due to the failure of a single drive method, while also reducing reliance on the motor to lower energy consumption.
[0020] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problems of low handling efficiency and easy material drop caused by inflexible equipment adjustment during material transfer in the prior art. The addition of a manual rotating block allows operators to quickly adjust the position of the barrier according to actual needs, reducing the number of times materials need to be repeatedly handled. At the same time, more precise barrier positioning reduces the risk of material slippage, improving the safety and convenience of the transfer process.
[0021] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting component 6 includes an electric telescopic rod 61. The electric telescopic rod 61 is provided on both the left and right sides of the rear end of the upper surface of the support base plate 4. The end of the electric telescopic rod 61 is connected to the bottom surface of the placement plate 5.
[0022] Among them, the electric telescopic rod 61 refers to a device that achieves linear telescopic movement through electric drive. Specifically, it can be implemented by a push rod motor with adjustable stroke. Its function is to provide a vertical dual-point synchronous drive for the placement plate.
[0023] The fact that the electric telescopic rod is installed on both the left and right sides of the rear end of the upper surface of the support base plate 1 means that the installation position of the electric telescopic rod is located in two symmetrically distributed areas at the rear end of the support base plate. This can be achieved by welding or bolt fixing. Its function is to maintain the stability of the lifting process by applying force simultaneously on both sides.
[0024] The connection between the end and the bottom of the placement plate refers to the fixed connection between the output end of the electric telescopic rod and the bottom of the placement plate. This can be achieved by using a hinge or flange connection. Its function is to directly transmit the driving force to the placement plate and prevent structural displacement.
[0025] Specifically, when the electric telescopic rods are powered on, the two symmetrically arranged electric telescopic rods extend and retract synchronously, applying a vertical pushing or pulling force to the bottom surface of the placement plate through the end connection point, thereby driving the placement plate and the material carried on it to rise and fall smoothly. During this process, the dual-side drive structure can counteract the deflection torque caused by the force applied on one side, preventing the placement plate from tilting during the lifting and lowering process.
[0026] Compared to existing technologies, traditional transfer devices typically employ manually adjustable or single-point driven lifting mechanisms, which suffer from uneven lifting speeds and poor load-bearing stability. This solution utilizes the synchronous drive of dual-sided electric telescopic rods to maintain mechanical balance throughout the lifting process, avoiding the risk of material slippage due to uneven force on one side, while also reducing the frequency of manual intervention.
[0027] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves stable lifting and lowering control of the vertical rails of the shelving unit during the transfer process, effectively solving the problem of material falling due to lifting and swaying. At the same time, the electric-driven dual-sided synchronous lifting reduces the number of times materials need to be manually handled, improving operational safety and work efficiency.
[0028] The drive motor and the electric telescopic pole in this invention are both existing technologies, which are already well understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
