Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of logistics technology, specifically an integral push-in rapid loading platform for materials. Background Technology

[0002] How to achieve rapid vehicle loading of goods has always been a bottleneck problem in the logistics industry. The traditional loading method of manual carrying can only achieve the loading of scattered goods, which is inefficient and consumes a lot of manpower. The semi-automatic loading method using forklifts, hand loader, or pallet jacks, which uses pallets as the basic transport unit, can reduce the number of times goods are handled, but still requires a lot of manual labor.

[0003] Using standard containers to load palletized goods, and then loading the entire container of goods onto the truck at once, can further improve loading efficiency. Current methods for loading entire containers at once involve first placing the palletized goods on an integrated floor, then using high thrust to push the pallet and goods into the truck bed or container. After using baffles to hold the goods in place, the floor is pulled out to prevent goods from being pulled out with the integrated floor. This method is not lightweight enough, and the strong friction generated when pushing the integrated floor and goods leads to excessively high operating power consumption.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a lightweight material loading device that reduces operating power consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that it addresses the issues of easy damage to the bottom of palletized goods when transported by vehicles or containers, low loading efficiency, and insufficient lightweighting; it aims to reduce operating power consumption and improve loading efficiency; it has a wide range of applications and strong versatility, and can be effectively used in flat indoor environments and complex outdoor terrain.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] Example 1:

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the integrated push-in rapid loading platform for materials provided by the present invention includes a long fork tooth (1), a roller lifting device (2), a push-pull device (3), a support plate (4), and a control unit (5);

[0045] The long fork tooth (1) is placed on the upper surface of the support plate (4) for placing palletized goods; the roller lifting device (2) is located at the bottom of the long fork tooth (1); the push-pull device (3) is fixedly connected to one end of the long fork tooth (1) and can push and pull the long fork tooth (1) to realize the movement of palletized goods; the control unit (5) is placed inside the push-pull device (3) and connected to the roller lifting device (2); the control unit (5) is used to drive the roller lifting device (2) to lift.

[0046] When it is necessary to move the palletized goods, under the control of the control unit (5), the roller lifting device (2) lifts the long fork tooth (1) from the surface of the support plate (4), and the push-pull device (3) pushes the long fork tooth (1) and the palletized goods placed on it to the designated loading position.

[0047] After the palletized goods are moved to the designated location, under the control of the control unit (5), the roller lifting device (2) lowers a certain height so that the bottom of the palletized goods contacts the bottom of the truck bed or container of the transport vehicle. Then the push-pull device (3) pulls the long fork tooth (1) back to the initial position, completing the movement of the palletized goods.

[0048] After the long fork tooth (1) returns to its initial position, under the control of the control unit (5), the roller lifting device (2) lowers the long fork tooth (1) so that the long insert tooth (1) is placed directly on the support plate (4) to prevent the long insert tooth (1) from sliding unexpectedly under the action of external force.

[0049] It is evident that implementation Figure 1 The described integrated push-in rapid loading platform helps reduce the friction between the push-in fork (1) and the support plate (4) and the bottom of the transport vehicle or container, avoids damage to the bottom of the transport vehicle or container caused by traditional friction unloading methods, significantly reduces the operating power consumption of the equipment, and improves loading efficiency.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the overall push-in rapid loading platform also includes a ramp (6); the ramp (6) is set on the support plate (4) and is located away from the push-pull device (3) at one end, and is hinged to the support plate (4).

[0053] When the pallet (4) is close to the transport vehicle or container, the ramp (6) hangs down naturally, and the long fork tines (1) and the palletized goods placed on them directly enter the transport vehicle or container from the pallet (4).

[0054] When there is a gap between the support plate (4) and the transport vehicle or container, the support plate (4) is connected to the transport vehicle or container by the ramp (6), so that the long fork tines (1) can smoothly enter the transport vehicle or container through the ramp (6) to complete the loading operation and improve the platform's adaptability.

[0055] Example 3:

[0056] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the push-pull device (3) includes a housing (31), a motor (32) and a drive mechanism (33); the bottom of the housing (31) is fixedly connected to the long fork tooth (1); the motor (32) is fixed inside the housing (31); the drive mechanism (33) is fixed to the bottom of the housing (31) and includes a transmission gear set (331) and a power wheel (332); the transmission gear set (331) is connected to the motor (32); the power wheel (332) is fixed to the bottom of the housing (31).

[0058] During loading operations, the motor (32) transmits power to the drive wheel (332) through the transmission gear set (331), causing the push-pull device (3) to drive the long insert tooth (1) to move back and forth on the support plate (4).

[0059] Example 4:

[0060] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the push-pull device (3) also includes a driven wheel (34) and a telescopic spring (35); the driven wheel (34) is located on both sides of the bottom of the housing (31); one end of the telescopic spring (35) is connected to the housing (31), and the other end is connected to the motor (32).

[0062] When palletized goods are placed on the long fork tooth (1), the telescopic spring (35) is compressed, and the drive wheel (332) moves in the compression direction of the telescopic spring (35). The driven wheel (34) and the drive wheel (332) bear the weight at the same time. The weight of the push-pull device (3) can be evenly distributed to the drive wheel (332) and the driven wheels (34) on both sides, ensuring that the palletized goods remain stable during loading.

[0063] The driven wheel (34) is a universal wheel, which can be used to adjust the direction of the long insert tooth (1) to facilitate flexible adjustment of the pallet loading position.

[0064] Example 5:

[0065] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the roller lifting device (2) includes a control lever device (21), a sliding wheel assembly (22), a connecting piece (23), and a hydraulic cylinder (24). One end of the control lever device (21) is hinged to the bottom of the long fork tooth (1), and the other end is fixed with the sliding wheel assembly (22). The connecting piece (23) connects the control lever device (21) and the hydraulic cylinder (24) respectively. When the hydraulic cylinder (24) is working, the control lever device (21) is adjusted through the connecting piece (23) to adjust the height of the long fork tooth (1).

[0067] The long fork tooth (1) has a sliding wheel groove (11) at one end of the roller lifting device (2); when the roller lifting device (2) is retracted, it is placed in the sliding wheel groove (11) to increase the friction between the long fork tooth (1) and the support plate (4) and prevent slippage.

[0068] Optionally, a sliding wheel groove (11) and a roller lifting device (2) are also provided in the middle of the long fork tooth (1) to increase the load-bearing capacity of the long fork tooth (1).

[0069] Example 6:

[0070] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0071] like Figure 1As shown, the overall push-in rapid loading platform also includes multiple lifting columns (7), which are connected to the lower surface of the support plate (4).

[0072] When not in use, each lifting bollard (7) is lowered to its lowest height for easy storage and transportation.

[0073] During loading operations, if the location is a flat indoor environment, each lifting column (7) is raised to the same height to ensure that the height of the support plate (4) matches the height of the transport vehicle or container; if the location is a complex outdoor terrain, the height of each lifting column (7) is adjusted to ensure that the long insert (1) remains horizontal during operation.

[0074] Example 7:

[0075] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0076] The control unit (5) includes a control signal receiving module, a motor control module, a height control module and a lifting control module; after receiving an external control signal, the control signal receiving module forwards it to the corresponding motor control module, height control module and lifting control module respectively.

[0077] When the motor control module receives a forward signal, it controls the motor (32) to rotate in the corresponding direction at a specified speed, so that the drive mechanism (33) drives the long insert tooth (1) to move to the pallet material loading position; when the motor control module receives a backward signal, it controls the motor (32) to rotate in the opposite direction at a specified speed, so that the drive mechanism (33) drives the long insert tooth (1) back to the initial position.

[0078] When the height control module receives the height adjustment signal, it adjusts the height of each lifting column (7) to the specified value.

[0079] When the lifting control module receives the lifting signal, it controls the hydraulic cylinder (24) to drive the roller lifting device (2) to lift the long tooth (1) from the support plate (4); when the lifting control module receives the hovering signal, it controls the hydraulic cylinder (24) to drive the roller lifting device (2) to lower the lifting height of the long tooth (1) so that the long tooth (1) does not contact the bottom of the pallet material or the bottom of the transport vehicle or container; when the lifting control module receives the return signal, it puts the long tooth (1) back onto the surface of the support plate (4).

[0080] Example 8:

[0081] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that:

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the push-pull device (3) is fixedly connected to two long fork teeth (1), and the two long fork teeth (1) together carry the pallet materials.
