Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a transport and installation apparatus, and more particularly to a transport and installation apparatus for transporting vehicle components and installing them from below onto the bottom of a vehicle in the field of automobile manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, in automobile production workshops, it is necessary to use transport and installation devices to transport vehicle components such as chassis supports to the vicinity of the vehicle and install them from the bottom of the vehicle to the corresponding positions on the vehicle chassis. Specifically, in actual production, firstly, workers bend over in a component storage area at a certain distance from the vehicle production line and manually place individual components to be installed (such as chassis supports) onto the platform of the transport and installation device. Then, by moving the transport and installation device, the platform carrying the component to be installed is moved into the under-vehicle space. Next, the workers step on the pedals set on the transport and installation device, using the lever principle to lift the component to be installed on the platform, thereby installing the component to be installed in the corresponding position on the vehicle chassis.

[0003] However, in the aforementioned conventional transport and installation equipment, only one component can be carried for installation at a time. After installing the current component, the operator needs to return to a component storage area at a certain distance from the vehicle production line to retrieve the next component to be installed. Therefore, the transport and installation efficiency of vehicle components is greatly restricted, which is not conducive to improving the production cycle. On the other hand, when operators bend over and manually place the components to be installed on the platform of the transport and installation equipment, it puts a great strain on their bodies (especially their lower back). When a large number of vehicle components need to be installed in the workshop as described above, it may cause personal injury. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention was made to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a transport and installation device capable of transporting and installing multiple components at one time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a transport and installation device, comprising: a base, wherein a displacement member is provided at the bottom of the base to enable the transport and installation device as a whole to be displaced; a sliding guide member, which is fixed relative to the base, can internally accommodate multiple components to be installed, and guides the movement of each component to be installed under gravity; a component platform, which is disposed adjacent to the end of the sliding guide member and is capable of holding the first component to be installed from the plurality of components to be installed from the sliding guide member; and a rotation lifting mechanism, which is disposed on the base and has a pedal and a force transmission mechanism, the end of the force transmission mechanism being connected to the component platform, wherein when the pedal is depressed, the force transmission mechanism lifts the component platform.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transport and installation device may also include a locking member for locking the component to be installed immediately following the first component to be installed placed on the component platform and separating it from the first component to be installed by a certain distance.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding guide member may be designed to match the external dimensions of the component to be installed, and the component to be installed may be able to move towards the component platform under the action of gravity inside the sliding guide member.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding guide member may include a plurality of guide rods, and at least one guide rod fixing member is provided along the extension direction of the guide rods. The guide rod fixing member is fixedly connected to the plurality of guide rods in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rods.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the force transmission mechanism of the rotating lifting mechanism may include a pedal connector, a platform connector, a longitudinal guide fixed to the base, and a transverse guide fixed to the platform connector. One end of the pedal connector is connected to the pedal, and the other end is provided with a first pin for insertion into the transverse guide groove of the transverse guide. The pedal connector is hinged to a base column provided on the base. One end of the platform connector is connected to the component platform, and the other end is fixed with the transverse guide. A second pin is provided on the side of the platform connector opposite to the transverse guide, and the second pin is inserted into the longitudinal guide groove of the longitudinal guide.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member may have a locking base, a locking rotating part, a locking pulling part, and a pull rope fixed to the base. The lower end of the rotating connecting wall of the locking rotating part is rotatably connected to the locking base. The locking pulling part has a through part at one end through which the pull rope can pass and be fixed. At the other end, it is rotatably connected to the locking base via a rotating pin together with the rotating connecting wall of the locking rotating part. The rotating pin is inserted into the arc-shaped rotating guide groove of the locking base, so that when the locking pulling part is pulled by the pull rope, the locking rotating part can rotate around the lower end and abut against the member to be installed.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member may have a locking base, a locking rotating part, a locking pulling part, a locking member fixing part, and a pull rope. The locking member fixing part is fixed to the base and has a first guide groove and a second guide groove. The locking base can move horizontally relative to the locking member fixing part via a first guide pin provided in the first guide groove and a second guide pin provided in the second guide groove. The lower end of the rotating connecting wall of the locking rotating part is rotatably connected to the locking base via the first guide pin. The locking pulling part has a through part at one end for the pull rope to pass through and be fixed, and at the other end, together with the rotating connecting wall of the locking rotating part, it is rotatably connected to the locking base via a rotating pin. The rotating pin is inserted into the arc-shaped rotating guide groove of the locking base, so that when the locking pulling part is pulled by the pull rope, the locking rotating part can rotate around the lower end and move horizontally, and abut against the member to be installed.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member may be configured such that when the pull rope is released, the locking rotating part is pushed back to its original position by the component to be installed under the action of gravity, so that the component to be installed can slide onto the component platform.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member may also have a return spring.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a stop member may be provided on the component platform to prevent the component to be installed from slipping off the sliding guide member.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transport and installation device may also include a positioning camera, which is disposed on a camera platform located in front of the component platform.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the conveying and installation device may also include at least one material frame.

[0017] According to the present invention, the transport and installation device allows multiple components to be installed to be housed at once inside a sliding guide member. The sliding guide member guides the movement of each component under gravity, allowing the first component to be installed to be placed on a component platform. Then, by stepping on the pedal of the rotating lifting mechanism, the component platform is raised to a predetermined height. This allows for the simultaneous transport of multiple components and the convenient and reliable sequential installation of each component onto a vehicle chassis or other suitable location. Compared to conventional techniques that individually pick up, place, and install each component, this significantly improves the transport and installation efficiency of the components, thereby increasing the production cycle time. Furthermore, because the sliding guide member, which guides the movement of each component under gravity, has a certain height, workers can easily place the components from the entrance of the sliding guide member into the sliding guide member and sequentially place them on the component platform for installation without bending over. This helps reduce the strain on the worker's body (especially the lower back) and lowers the risk of personal injury. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 12This document provides a detailed description of a transport and installation apparatus 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that in the following drawings, the same or similar parts are labeled with the same or similar reference numerals. However, the drawings are schematic, and attention should be paid to the possibility that the ratios of the dimensions may differ from reality. Therefore, specific dimensions should be determined with reference to the following description. Furthermore, the drawings may include parts with different dimensional relationships or ratios. Additionally, for ease of explanation, the height direction of the transport and installation apparatus 1000 will sometimes be designated as the Z-direction, the direction in which the transport and installation apparatus 1000 moves back and forth in the horizontal XY direction perpendicular to the height direction will be designated as the Y-direction, and the direction in the horizontal XY direction perpendicular to the Y-direction will be designated as the X-direction.

[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a transport and installation apparatus 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes, for example, a base 100 serving as a base, a sliding guide member 200, a component platform 300, and a rotating lifting mechanism 400. Optionally, this transport and installation apparatus 1000 can, for example, accommodate multiple components P to be installed from the bottom of a vehicle to a location such as a vehicle chassis in the sliding guide member 200. By transporting the multiple components P to be installed to the vicinity of the vehicle production line at once, and using the rotating lifting mechanism 400 to lift the components P placed on the component platform 300, installation to a location such as a vehicle chassis is achieved. Next, specific examples of the above-mentioned components in the transport and installation apparatus 1000 will be described illustratively.

[0038] In some embodiments, a displacement member (e.g., a roller, ball bearing, etc.) is provided at the bottom of the base 100 of the transport and installation device 1000, allowing the transport and installation device 1000 as a whole to move freely in the horizontal XY direction. Alternatively, in some embodiments, a base column 110 is provided on the base 100, which is erected vertically in the height Z direction. This base column 110 can be used, for example, to provide a sliding guide member 200 and a rotating lifting mechanism 400.

[0039] like Figures 1-5As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding guide member 200 has, for example, a shape that is bent in the height direction Z and is fixed relative to the base 100. This sliding guide member 200 can, for example, accommodate multiple components P to be installed internally, and has an inlet for the components P to be installed and an outlet for the components P to be installed to be removed. The sliding guide member 200 is configured to guide the movement of each component P under gravity, such that the multiple components P are guided by gravity within the sliding guide member 200 while sliding towards the end (outlet) of the sliding guide member 200. Furthermore, the method of fixing the sliding guide member 200 relative to the base 100 is not particularly limited; it can be fixed to the base column 110 of the base 100 by bolts or other fasteners, or by welding, or by other fixing methods known in the art to appropriate locations on the base 100.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the component platform 300 is disposed adjacent to, for example, the end (outlet) of the sliding guide member 200, such that the first component P among the plurality of components P to be installed housed inside the sliding guide member 200, i.e., the first component P to be installed that is thrown out from the inlet of the sliding guide member 200, is moved out from the outlet of the sliding guide member 200 under the action of gravity and placed on the component platform 300. By moving the component platform 300 to the bottom of the vehicle and using the rotating lifting mechanism 400, which will be described in detail later, to lift the component platform 300 and the first component P to be installed thereon, the first component P to be installed is installed from the bottom of the vehicle to a corresponding position such as the vehicle chassis.

[0041] Additionally, in some embodiments, a stop 310 may be optionally provided on the component platform 300 to prevent the component P to be installed from sliding from the sliding guide member 200 from sliding off the component platform 300 in the horizontal XY direction. Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the stop 310 can be, for example, a plate-like member erected vertically along the height direction Z at the end of the component platform 300 opposite to the sliding guide member 200. When the component P to be installed slides from the sliding guide member 200 to the component platform 300 under gravity, it abuts against the component P to prevent further movement of the component P. Furthermore, the stop 310 only needs to prevent the component P to be installed from sliding off the component platform 300 in the horizontal direction XY; its specific form and arrangement are not particularly limited. In some embodiments, the stop 310 can also abut against the component P to correct positional deviations of the component P on the component platform 300. Additionally, in some embodiments, the stop 310 can be omitted from the component platform 300.

[0042] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating lifting mechanism 400 of the transport and installation device 1000 is provided on the base 100 and has a pedal 410 and a force transmission mechanism 420. The rotating lifting mechanism 400 is configured such that the end of the force transmission mechanism 420 is connected to the aforementioned component platform 300, and when the pedal 410 is pressed, the force transmission mechanism 420 can lift the component platform 300 to a predetermined height, thereby lifting and installing the component P to be installed on the component platform 300 to a corresponding position such as the vehicle chassis. Furthermore, after the installation of the component P is completed, by releasing the pedal 410, the component platform 300, in its unloaded state, will move downwards under gravity and reset, thereby enabling the placement of the next component P to be installed from the sliding guide member 200, and installation of the next component P to be installed can be performed accordingly by pressing the pedal 410. It should be noted that the rotation lifting mechanism 400 only needs to be able to lift the component platform 300 by means of the force transmission mechanism 420 when the pedal 410 is pressed. Its arrangement relative to the base 100 is not particularly limited. The force transmission mechanism 420 of the rotation lifting mechanism 400 can be set on the base column 110 of the base 100 by means of rotating connecting parts such as hinges and pins. Alternatively, the rotation lifting mechanism 400 can be set at an appropriate position on the base 100 by other means known in the art.

[0043] In this way, by storing multiple components P to be installed at once inside the sliding guide member 200, and using the sliding guide member 200 to guide the movement of each component P under gravity, the first component P to be installed is placed on the component platform 300. Then, by stepping on the pedal 410 of the rotating lifting mechanism 400, the component platform 300 is lifted to a predetermined height. Thus, multiple components P to be installed can be transported at once using the transport and installation device 1000, and each component P to be installed can be conveniently and reliably installed sequentially to the corresponding position on the vehicle chassis, etc. Compared with the previous technology of picking up and installing individual components to be installed separately, the transport efficiency and installation efficiency of the components to be installed can be effectively improved, and the production cycle can be increased accordingly. Furthermore, since the sliding guide member 200, which guides the movement of each component P under gravity, has a certain height, the operator can place the component P from the entrance of the sliding guide member 200 into the sliding guide member 200 and place it on the component platform 300 in sequence for corresponding installation without bending over. Therefore, it also helps to reduce the burden on the operator's body (especially the waist) and can reduce the risk of personal injury.

[0044] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the transport and installation device 1000 may optionally include a locking member 500 for locking a component P immediately following the first component P to be installed on the component platform 300 and separating it from the first component P by a certain distance. For example, when the pedal 410 is depressed and the component platform 300 and the first component P to be installed on it are lifted, by operating the locking member 500 (i.e., locking it), the locking member 500 abuts against the component P following the first component P (i.e., the component P closest to the component platform 300 within the sliding guide member 200, sometimes also referred to as the "second component P to be installed") and maintains a certain distance between the second component P and the first component P. This prevents the second component P from being pressed against the first component P under gravity, thus preventing obstruction of the lifting action of the first component P.

[0045] Alternatively, after the installation of the first component P to be installed is completed, by stopping the operation of the locking component 500, the locking component 500 is moved away from the second component P to be installed and reset (i.e., it is put into an unlocked state). Thus, the second component P to be installed can slide from the sliding guide component 200 under the action of gravity and be placed on the component platform 300, and the operator can perform the installation operation for the second component P to be installed.

[0046] In this way, by providing a locking member 500 in the transport and installation device 1000, and using this locking member 500 to lock the second component P immediately following the first component P to be installed, and to maintain a certain distance between them, it is possible to prevent the second component P from being in close contact with the first component P under the action of gravity, thus preventing any obstruction to the lifting action of the first component P. This allows the first component P to be installed to be lifted smoothly to a predetermined height for installation. Furthermore, the locking member 500 only needs to be able to abut against and lock the second component P in the locked state; its specific shape and location are not particularly limited. For example, the locking member 500 can be positioned between the component platform 300 and the sliding guide member 200.

[0047] In addition, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the sliding guide member 200 is designed to match the external dimensions of the component P to be installed, and the component P to be installed can move towards the component platform 300 under gravity within the sliding guide member 200. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding guide member 200 is approximately the same as the external shape of the component P to be installed, and its external dimensions are slightly larger than those of the component P to be installed. Optionally, under the influence of the gravity of the component P itself and the supporting force and friction of the sliding guide member 200, the component P to be installed can move towards the end (outlet) of the sliding guide member 200 without positional deflection (or with minimal positional deflection) in its direction of movement and be placed on the component platform 300 without positional deviation (or with minimal positional deviation).

[0048] By designing the sliding guide member 200 in this way, the positional deflection of the component P to be installed, which slides inside the sliding guide member 200 due to gravity, in the direction of movement can be reduced. This helps to ensure that the component P to be installed, which is smoothly removed from the outlet of the sliding guide member 200, is placed on the component platform 300 without positional deviation (or with small positional deviation).

[0049] In addition, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding guide member 200 may optionally be composed of a plurality of guide rods 210, etc., and at least one guide rod fixing member 220 is provided along the extension direction of the guide rods 210. The guide rod fixing member 220 is fixedly connected to the plurality of guide rods 210 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rods 210. As an example, the plurality of guide rods 210 are bent in the height direction Z and are arranged parallel to each other on the guide rod fixing member 220. The plurality of guide rods 210 are formed into a cross-sectional shape that matches the external dimensions of the component P to be installed by at least one guide rod fixing member 220.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the guide rod fixing member 220 is, for example, a hollow flat plate. The shape of the hollow portion of the guide rod fixing member 220 matches the external dimensions of the component P to be installed, so that the component P can pass smoothly. Each guide rod 210 is fixed in the guide rod receiving hole on the inner side of the guide rod fixing member 220 by a fixing method known in the art, such as welding, to guide the movement of the component P under gravity. Alternatively, the guide rod fixing member 220 may be provided at or near the entrance of the sliding guide member 200, thereby helping the operator to place the component P to be installed into the sliding guide member 200 in the correct posture (i.e., a posture with no or minimal positional deviation relative to the direction of movement).

[0051] In addition, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, as an example, the guide rod fixing member 220 can be fixedly connected to the base column 110 of the base 100 or to the frame rod 120 of the base column 110 via an L-shaped fastener 230, thereby fixing the sliding guide member 200, which consists of multiple guide rods 210 and other components, to the base 100. Alternatively, a protective member 240 can be provided on the outer side of the guide rod fixing member 220 (the side facing the component platform 300) to prevent the guide rods 210 and the guide rod fixing member 220 from being accidentally deformed by external forces. The protective member 240 can be fixed to the frame rod 120 from the outer side of the guide rod fixing member 220, for example.

[0052] In this way, by using multiple guide rods 210 to form a sliding guide member 200, and using guide rod fasteners 220 to fix the multiple guide rods 210 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rods 210, it is possible to easily manufacture a sliding guide member 200 having a cross-sectional shape that matches the external dimensions of the component P to be installed, and to reduce the manufacturing cost of the sliding guide member 200.

[0053] In addition, such as Figures 1-3 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the force transmission mechanism 420 of the rotating lifting mechanism 400 may optionally include, for example, a pedal connector 421, a platform connector 422, a longitudinal guide 423 fixed to the base 100, and a transverse guide 424 fixed to the platform connector 422. As an example, one end of the pedal connector 421 is connected to the pedal 410, and the other end is provided with a first pin 421a for insertion into a transverse guide groove 424a of the transverse guide 424, such that the end of the pedal connector 421 provided with the first pin 421a can move relative to the platform connector 422 in the horizontal direction (specifically the Y direction).

[0054] Additionally, as an example, the pedal connector 421 and the base column 110 provided on the base 100 are rotatably connected to each other at the hinge point via a hinge, pin, or other rotatable connector (hinged). Optionally, one end of the platform connector 422 is connected to the component platform 300, and the aforementioned transverse guide 424 is fixed to the other end. Furthermore, a second pin is provided on the side of the platform connector 422 opposite to the transverse guide 424. This second pin is, for example, inserted into the longitudinal guide groove 423a of the longitudinal guide 423, allowing the platform connector 422 to move along the longitudinal guide groove 423a in the height direction Z.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, when the pedal 410 is pressed down, the end of the pedal connector 421 with the first pin 421a rotates upward around the hinge between the pedal connector 421 and the base column 110. At the same time, the platform connector 422, which is fixed with the transverse guide 424, moves upward. Under the guidance of the longitudinal guide groove 423a of the longitudinal guide 423, the platform connector 422, together with the component platform 300, moves along the height direction Z. Thus, the component platform 300 and the component P to be installed are raised to a predetermined height and the installation operation is performed.

[0056] By constructing the rotating lifting mechanism 400 in this way, the component platform 300 and the component P to be installed on it can be conveniently and reliably lifted to a predetermined height using the lever principle. At the same time, it can also help to keep the mounting surface of the component platform 300 approximately parallel to the horizontal XY direction, so that the component P to be installed can be smoothly installed into the corresponding position on the vehicle chassis, etc.

[0057] Furthermore, the rotating lifting mechanism 400 only needs to be able to lift the component platform 300 to a predetermined height when the pedal 410 is pressed down, and its specific structure is not particularly limited. For example, the structure can also be as follows: the force transmission mechanism 420 of the rotating lifting mechanism 400 only has a pedal connector 421, a platform connector 422, and a longitudinal guide 423. One end of the pedal connector 421 is connected to the pedal 410, and the other end is directly fixedly connected to the platform connector 422. The pedal connector 421 is rotatably connected (hinged) to the base column 110 provided on the base 100 at the hinge. One end of the platform connector 422 is connected to the component platform 300, and the other end is provided with a guide pin that is inserted into the arc-shaped guide groove of the longitudinal guide 423. Thus, when the pedal 410 is pressed down, the pedal connector 421 rotates around the hinge between the pedal connector 421 and the base column 110, thereby driving the platform connector 422 to rotate and move upward, thereby lifting the component platform 300 to a predetermined height.

[0058] In addition, such as Figures 7-11 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking member 500 may optionally include a locking base 510, a locking rotating portion 520, a locking pulling portion 530, a locking member fixing portion 540, and a pull rope (not shown). As an example, the locking member fixing portion 540 may optionally be fixed to the base 100 and have a first guide groove 541 and a second guide groove 542. The locking base 510 can be horizontally moved relative to the locking member fixing portion 540 via a first guide pin 541a provided in the first guide groove 541 and a second guide pin 542a provided in the second guide groove 542 (specifically, as shown). Figure 8 and Figure 10 (As shown, it moves along the Y direction), and the lower end of the rotating connecting wall 521 of the locking rotating part 520 is rotatably connected to the locking base 510 via the first guide pin 541a. Additionally, as an example, the locking pulling part 530 has a through part 531 at one end for a pull rope to pass through and be fixed, and at the other end, together with the rotating connecting wall 521 of the locking rotating part 520, it is rotatably connected to the locking base 510 via a rotating pin 511. This rotating pin 511 is inserted into the arc-shaped rotating guide groove 512 of the locking base 510, so that when the locking pulling part 530 is pulled by the pull rope, the locking rotating part 520 can rotate around its lower end while simultaneously moving horizontally (specifically, along the Y direction) and abutting against the component P to be installed (i.e., the second component P to be installed).

[0059] By configuring the locking member 500 in this way, since the lower end of the rotating connecting wall 521 of the locking rotating part 520 is rotatably connected to the locking base 510 via the first guide pin 541a, and the locking pulling part 530 and the rotating connecting wall 521 of the locking rotating part 520 are rotatably connected to the locking base 510 via the rotating pin 511, when the pull rope fixed to the locking pulling part 530 is pulled, the locking pulling part 530 will transmit the tension generated by the pull rope to the locking rotating part 520 via the rotating pin 511, and cause the locking rotating part 520 to rotate toward the second component P to be installed after the first component P to be installed placed on the component platform 300 with its lower end as the center, and abut against the second component P to be installed (see reference). Figure 11 This prevents the second component P from being pressed against the first component P under gravity, thus hindering the lifting action of the first component P. Simultaneously, since the locking base 510 can move horizontally (specifically along the Y direction) relative to the locking component fixing part 540 via the first guide pin 541a provided in the first guide groove 541 and the second guide pin 542a provided in the second guide groove 542, when the pull rope fixed to the locking pull part 530 is pulled, the locking base 510, the locking rotating part 520 provided in the locking base 510, and the locking pull part 530 as a whole can move relative to the locking component fixing part 540 along the Y direction (more specifically, along the direction opposite to the component platform 300 in the Y direction). This further separates the second component P from the first component P, more reliably preventing the lifting action of the first component P from being hindered by the second component P.

[0060] Although not shown in the diagram, the pull rope fixed to the locking pull part 530 can pass through the through hole 543 on the locking member fixing part 540 and through the interior of the frame rod 120 provided on the base column 110 to connect with the handbrake 800 provided on the upper part of the transport and installation device 1000. The operator can easily pull the pull rope by operating the handbrake 800 to lock the locking member 500 into a locked state that abuts against the second member P to be installed.

[0061] Furthermore, the locking member 500 only needs to abut against the second member P to be installed when the pull rope is pulled to prevent the lifting action of the first member P to be installed, which is placed on the member platform 300, from being obstructed by the second member P to be installed; its specific structure is not particularly limited. For example, the structure can be as follows: the locking member 500 only has a locking base 510, a locking rotating part 520, a locking pulling part 530 and a pull rope fixed to the base 100, but does not have a locking member fixing part 540 with a first guide groove 541 and a second guide groove 542. The lower end of the rotating connecting wall 521 of the locking rotating part 520 is rotatably connected to the locking base 510. The locking pulling part 530 has a through part 531 at one end for the pull rope to pass through and be fixed. At the other end, it is rotatably connected to the locking base 510 together with the rotating connecting wall 521 of the locking rotating part 520 via a rotating pin 511. The rotating pin 511 is inserted into the arc-shaped rotating guide groove 512 of the locking base 510, so that when the locking pulling part 530 is pulled by the pull rope, the locking rotating part 520 can rotate with its lower end as the center and abut against the member P to be installed (i.e., the second member P to be installed). In this case, the lifting action of the first component P to be installed, which is placed on the component platform 300, can also be prevented from being obstructed by the second component P by pulling the rope.

[0062] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the locking member 500 is configured such that when the pull cord is released, the locking rotating part 520 is pushed back to its original position by gravity by the second component P to be installed, allowing the second component P to slide smoothly onto the component platform 300. By configuring the locking member 500 in this way, it is possible to prevent the locking member 500 from remaining in the locked position after the installation of the first component P has been completed, thus preventing the second component P from moving from the sliding guide member 200 to the component platform 300 under gravity. As a result, the operator can perform the installation work on the second component P, which is sliding and placed on the component platform 300, simply by releasing the pull cord.

[0063] Additionally, in some embodiments, the locking member 500 may optionally include a return spring (not shown). As an example, the return spring may be an elastic member such as a coil spring or leaf spring, known in the art, used to apply force to the locking member 500 in a direction that moves the locking member 500 away from the second member P to be installed. As an example, the return spring may be located on the side of the locking member 500 closest to the member platform 300, pulling the locking rotating part 520 away from the second member P without pulling the pull cord; or it may be located on the side of the locking member 500 opposite to the member platform 300, pushing the locking rotating part 520 away from the second member P without pulling the pull cord. The specific form and arrangement of the return spring are not particularly limited, as long as it applies force to the locking member 500 in a direction that moves the locking member 500 away from the second member P to be installed. In this way, by providing a return spring in the locking member 500, it is possible to more reliably move the locking member 500 away from the second member P to be installed when the pull of the rope is released. This effectively ensures that after the installation of the first member P to be installed is completed, the second member P to be installed slides from the sliding guide member 200 under the action of gravity and is placed on the member platform 300.

[0064] Additionally, in some embodiments, the transport and installation device 1000 may optionally include a positioning camera 600, which is, for example, mounted on a camera platform 610 located in front of the component platform 300. As an example, the positioning camera 600 may be a CCD camera known in the art. While the component platform 300 and the component P to be installed are moved to the bottom of the vehicle, before the pedal 410 of the rotating lifting mechanism 400 is stepped on, the positioning camera 600 takes a picture of the bottom of the vehicle and transmits the captured image to a display screen (not shown) located on the upper part of the transport and installation device 1000 for display. This allows the operator to conveniently and accurately determine the installation position of the component P to be installed on the bottom of the vehicle and adjust its position accordingly, thereby effectively improving the installation efficiency of the component P.

[0065] Additionally, in some embodiments, the transport and installation device 1000 may optionally include at least one material basket 700. For example, the material basket 700 may be located on the upper part of the transport and installation device 1000, allowing operators to conveniently place other materials or parts different from the component P to be installed, thereby improving the operator's ease of use.
