Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical automated handling, and more particularly to an electrical automated handling device. Background Technology
[0002] Forklifts are widely used in factories, construction sites, and other environments as material handling vehicles. They can load, unload, stack, and transport palletized goods over short distances. Forklifts are electrically driven, and the electrical system is an important component of electric forklifts, effectively improving the automation level of forklift handling. They are the mainstay of material handling equipment. Currently, when using forklifts to handle goods, handling fragile items such as glass has become a challenge. Extreme care is required when handling glass bottles, glass plates, porcelain bottles, and other similar items.
[0003] When handling glass panels, workers first need to secure them to a pallet using a fixing frame and restraint ropes. Then, the forklift is driven so that the forklift forks extend into the bottom of the pallet. The electrical system then drives the forks to move steadily upwards, and the forks are adjusted for levelness. Finally, the forklift moves the glass panel to the designated location. However, this process requires workers to use tools to secure the glass panel, reducing handling efficiency. Furthermore, the forklift driver must strictly control the fork forward speed, fork upward speed, and forklift travel speed, ensuring forklift stability. Otherwise, the glass panel can easily move along with the pallet under inertial force, damaging the glass panel and posing a safety hazard. Additionally, when moving larger glass panels to the designated location by forklift, manual support is often required during forklift turns to ensure stability, which presents a significant safety risk.
[0004] In view of this, in order to improve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an electrically automated handling device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is as follows: When handling glass plates, workers first need to use a fixed frame and restraint ropes to fix the glass plates to a pallet, then drive a forklift so that the forklift forks extend into the bottom of the pallet, and then the electrical system drives the forks to move steadily upward and adjust the level of the forks. Then the forklift moves the glass plate to the designated location. However, in this process, workers first need to use tools to fix the glass plates, which reduces the efficiency of glass plate handling. Secondly, the forklift driver needs to strictly control the fork forward speed, fork upward speed, and forklift travel speed and ensure that the forklift travels stably. Otherwise, the glass plates are very easy to move under the action of inertial force, which will damage the glass plates and pose a safety hazard. Furthermore, when large glass plates are usually transported to the designated location by forklift, it is often necessary to manually hold the glass plates during the forklift's turning and moving process to ensure the stability of the glass plates during handling. However, manually holding the glass plates poses a significant safety hazard.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] 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.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides an electrically automated handling device, including a vehicle body 1 and a pallet 2. The vehicle body 1 is controlled by an electrical system and includes two forks 101. The electrical system controls the normal driving of the vehicle body 1, the lifting of the forks 101, the lowering of the forks 101, and the forward and backward tilting of the forks 101. The pallet 2 is used to place glass plates and also includes: a support block 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the pallet 2, with a distance between the support block 3 and the edge of the pallet 2. The support block 3 maintains a certain height between the pallet 2 and the ground. Simultaneously, the distance between the support block 3 and the edge of the pallet 2 facilitates the forks 101 in handling the glass plates. A stabilization mechanism 4 is installed on the pallet 2. The stabilization mechanism 4 includes multiple sets of primary stabilization units 5 and multiple sets of secondary stabilization units 6, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the pallet 2. Figure 1As shown, to ensure stability during handling, the electrically automated handling device provided by this invention has at least four sets of primary stabilization units 5 and two sets of secondary stabilization units 6. Each fork 101 is equipped with two primary stabilization units 5. One end of each secondary stabilization unit 6 is connected to the fork 101, and the other end is connected to the pallet 2. Each secondary stabilization unit 6 on each fork 101 is located between two sets of primary stabilization units 5. Each primary stabilization unit 5 includes a load-bearing rod assembly 51 and a center-of-gravity adjustment assembly 52. The primary stabilization unit 5 is used to align the driving point of the fork 101 lifting the pallet 2 with the center of gravity of the glass plate. Compared to the prior art, where the driving point of the fork 101 lifting the pallet 2 is located at the bottom of the pallet 2, resulting in a larger distance from the center of gravity of the goods, this invention... The forks 101 used to lift the pallet 2 are aligned with the center of gravity of the glass plate, thus initially ensuring the stability of the glass plate during handling. The secondary stabilization unit 6 includes a primary fixing component 61 and a secondary fixing component 62. The primary fixing component 61 is used to initially fix the glass plate to prevent it from shaking during handling. At the same time, by setting the secondary fixing component 62, when the electrical system controls the forks 101 to lift to the same position as the center of gravity of the glass plate, the secondary fixing component 62 is driven to work. The secondary fixing component 62 prevents the primary fixing component 61 from failing to fix it, further ensuring the stability of the glass plate during handling, improving handling efficiency, and eliminating the need for workers to hold the glass plate during handling, thus improving the safety of the glass plate during handling.
[0021] When moving the glass plate, the worker first places the glass plate on the pallet 2 and initially secures it using the primary fixing component 61. Next, the worker adjusts the distance between the two forks 101 according to the size of the glass plate. Then, the worker controls the vehicle body 1 to move via the electronic control system, positioning the forks 101 on both sides of the pallet 2, while simultaneously extending the bottom of the load-bearing rod component 51 between the pallet 2 and the ground. Then, the worker controls the forks 101 to initially lift via the electronic control system. This initial lifting of the forks 101 activates the center-of-gravity adjustment component 52, raising the forks 101 to a position close to the glass plate. With the center of gravity of the glass plate aligned, the operator then controls the forks 101 to lift again via the electronic control system. At this time, the forks 101 drive the load-bearing rod assembly 51 to move upward. The upward movement of the load-bearing rod assembly 51 drives the glass plate to move upward through the pallet 2, making the pallet 2 off the ground for easy transfer. Simultaneously, during the initial lifting process of the forks 101, the secondary fixing assembly 62 is activated to lock the primary fixing assembly 61, preventing the primary fixing assembly 61 from failing. This prevents the glass plate from shaking or shifting during handling, ensuring the stability of the glass plate during handling and improving handling efficiency and safety.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 8As shown, the load-bearing rod assembly 51 includes a vertical rod 511 and a horizontal rod 512. Both the vertical rod 511 and the horizontal rod 512 are made of rigid materials to prevent bending. The vertical rod 511 and the horizontal rod 512 are arranged perpendicularly. The horizontal rod 512 is located at the bottom of the vertical rod 511 and is located at the bottom of the pallet 2 to support the weight of the pallet 2 and the goods. The horizontal rod 512 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 511. The vertical rod 511 passes through the fork 101, and the fork 101 is slidably connected to the vertical rod 511. When the operator initially raises the fork 101 using the electrical system, the fork 101 will first slide upward along the vertical bar 511. The vertical bar 511 is initially stationary. When the fork 101 moves to the end point of the vertical bar 511, the electrical system controls the fork 101 to raise again. At this time, the fork 101 drives the vertical bar 511 to move upward, the vertical bar 511 drives the horizontal bar 512 to move upward, and the horizontal bar 512 drives the pallet 2 to move upward, so that the pallet 2 is away from the ground to facilitate the transfer of goods.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the center of gravity adjustment component 52 includes a first mounting block 521, which is sleeved on the vertical rod 511 and slidably connected to the vertical rod 511. The lower surface of the first mounting block 521 is fixedly connected to the fork 101. A first limiting block 522 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 511. A support spring 523 is provided between the first limiting block 522 and the first mounting block 521. When the fork 101 is initially raised, the fork 101 drives the first mounting block 521 to move upward. The upward movement of the first mounting block 521 compresses the support spring 523. When the support spring 523 is compressed to its limit, the fork 101, the support spring 523, and the first limiting block 522 abut against each other, and the center of gravity of the fork 101 and the glass plate are at the same horizontal height. Meanwhile, since the support spring 523 is compressed to its limit, the fork 101 can no longer move upward along the vertical bar 511. It will only move the vertical bar 511 upward after it continues to be lifted. Then, when the electrical system controls the fork 101 to lift again, the fork 101 will move the first mounting block 521, the vertical bar 511 and the horizontal bar 512 upward. The upward movement of the horizontal bar 512 will lift the pallet 2 off the ground and then transfer the glass plate. Since the driving point of the fork 101 moving the pallet 2 is aligned with and close to the center of gravity of the glass plate, compared with the prior art where the driving point of the fork 101 moving the pallet 2 is located at the bottom of the pallet 2 and far away from the center of gravity of the glass plate, the driving point is close to the center of gravity of the glass plate, which can improve the stability of the glass plate during the handling process.
[0024] After the handling is completed, the electrical system controls the forks 101 to move down, and the support spring 523 restores its elastic deformation. When the forks 101 move down to the initial state, the distance between the crossbar 512 and the ground is 10-20cm.
[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, due to the different specifications of the glass during actual handling, the center of gravity of the glass is also different. In order to improve the practicality of the device, the vertical rod 511 is set, including the upper rod 7 and the lower rod 8. The lower rod 8 is fixedly connected to the horizontal rod 512. The rotating block 9 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the first limiting block 522. The rotating block 9 is sleeved on the upper rod 7 and does not contact the upper rod 7. One end of the support spring 523 is fixedly connected to the first mounting block 521, and the other end is fixedly connected to the rotating block 9. The bottom of the upper rod 7 is fixedly connected to the first threaded rod 10. The top of the lower rod 8 is provided with a threaded groove. The end of the first threaded rod 10 away from the upper rod 7 is threadedly connected to the lower rod 8 through the threaded groove on the lower rod 8.
[0026] When the horizontal height of the first limit block 522 needs to be adjusted to accommodate larger glass panels, the center of gravity of the larger glass panels is at a higher horizontal height. When the operator rotates the first limit block 522 forward, the first limit block 522 drives the upper rod 7 to rotate forward, which in turn drives the first threaded rod 10 to rotate forward. The first threaded rod 10 moves upward through the threaded groove, thereby increasing the distance between the upper rod 7 and the lower rod 8, which in turn extends the vertical rod 511 and raises the horizontal height of the first limit block 522. This makes it easier for the fork 101 to be raised to a position level with the center of gravity of the glass panel. At the same time, the support spring 523 is subjected to greater tension. During the rotation of the upper rod 7, since the upper rod 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 9, and the rotating block 9 is fixedly connected to the first mounting block 521 with the support spring 523, and the first mounting block 521 is fixedly connected to the fork 101, the rotation of the upper rod 7 will not drive the support spring 523 to rotate, thus allowing the upper rod 7 to rotate normally.
[0027] When the horizontal height of the first limit block 522 needs to be adjusted to accommodate smaller glass, the center of gravity of the smaller glass is lower. The operator rotates the first limit block 522 in the opposite direction, which causes the upper rod 7 to rotate in the opposite direction. The upper rod 7 then causes the first threaded rod 10 to rotate in the opposite direction. The first threaded rod 10 moves downward through the threaded groove, thereby reducing the distance between the upper rod 7 and the lower rod 8. This shortens the vertical rod 511 and lowers the horizontal height of the first limit block 522, making it easier for the forks 101 to be raised to the same horizontal height as the center of gravity of the glass. At the same time, the support spring 523 is subjected to less tension.
[0028] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, when adjusting the horizontal height of the first limit block 522, a gap may easily exist between the upper rod 7 and the lower rod 8. This gap may cause the fork 101 to lack support and guidance when moving along the vertical rod 511. Therefore, an annular groove 11 is provided at the top of the lower rod 8, and a guide sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper rod 7. The bottom of the guide sleeve 12 is located in the annular groove 11. The guide sleeve 12 is slidably connected to the lower rod 8, ensuring that part of the side of the guide sleeve 12 is on the same plane as part of the side of the lower rod 8. This ensures that part of the guide sleeve 12 is always on the same plane as the side of the vertical rod 511, so that the fork 101 is supported and guided by the guide sleeve 12 when it is between the upper rod 7 and the lower rod 8, ensuring stable transmission. When adjusting the length of the vertical rod 511, the upper rod 7 rotates, and the guide sleeve 12 rotates with the upper rod 7, moving within the annular groove 11.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, the primary fixing component 61 includes multiple wedge blocks 611, which are symmetrically distributed on the upper surface of the tray 2. A guide groove 612 is provided on the upper surface of the tray 2. A compression spring 613 is provided in the guide groove 612. One end of the compression spring 613 is fixedly connected to the tray 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to a guide block 614. The guide block 614 is located in the guide groove 612 and is fixedly connected to the wedge blocks 611. The guide block 614 is slidably connected to the tray 2.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, two wedge blocks 611 are provided. When initially fixing the glass plate, the worker first pushes the two wedge blocks 611 to both sides of the tray 2 to separate the two wedge blocks 611, and the compression spring 613 is compressed. Then, the glass plate is placed between the two glass blocks, and the elastic force of the compression spring 613 is used to make the two wedge blocks 611 stick to the glass plate. The glass plate first gets the initial support of the two wedge blocks 611, which prevents the glass plate from tipping over.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 , Figures 10 to 14As shown, the secondary fixing component 62 includes an inclined groove 621 formed on the wedge-shaped surface of the wedge block 611. A slider 622 is disposed within the inclined groove 621 and is slidably connected to the wedge block 611. A threaded sleeve 623 is ball-hung on the side of the slider 622 away from the wedge block 611. A second threaded rod 624 is disposed within the threaded sleeve 623 and is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 623. A rotating rod 625 is fixedly connected to the end of the second threaded rod 624 away from the threaded sleeve 623. A second mounting block 626 is fixedly connected to the fork 101. The rotating rod 625 passes through the second mounting block 626 and is slidably connected to the second mounting block 626. The rotating rod 625 is ball-hung on the side of the second threaded rod 624 away from the threaded sleeve 623. A handle 627 is fixedly connected to one end of the grooved rod 624. Multiple gear rings 628 are provided on the rotating rod 625. The multiple gear rings 628 are evenly distributed on the rotating rod 625 and fixedly connected to the rotating rod 625. The second mounting block 626 has a mounting cavity 629 inside. A rotating shaft 6210 is provided in the mounting cavity 629. The rotating shaft 6210 is rotatably connected to the second mounting block 626. A gear 6211 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6210. The gear 6211 meshes with the gear rings 628 on the rotating rod 625. A locking element 6213 is provided in the mounting cavity 629. The locking element 6213 contacts the gear 6211 and is used to make the gear 6211 rotate only in one direction.
[0032] After the glass plate is initially fixed by the wedge block 611 and the compression spring 613, the operator rotates the rotating rod 625 by the handle 627. The rotation of the rotating rod 625 drives the second threaded rod 624 to rotate, and the second threaded rod 624 rotates into the threaded sleeve 623, connecting the rotating rod 625, the second threaded rod 624 and the threaded sleeve 623. Then, the operator controls the fork 101 to initially lift it through the electrical system. During the initial lifting of the fork 101 to be level with the center of gravity of the glass plate, the fork 101 drives the second mounting block. When 626 moves upward, tray 2 and wedge block 611 remain stationary. Mounting block 626 drives rotating rod 625 upward, which in turn drives threaded rod 624 upward. As threaded rod 624 moves upward, it is fixedly connected to threaded sleeve 623 via threads, and threaded sleeve 623 is ball-jointed with slider 622. Therefore, during the upward movement of threaded rod 624, threaded sleeve 623 and slider 622 can be driven to move upward along the inclined groove 621 of wedge block 611. As the threaded sleeve 623 and slider 622 move upward along the inclined groove 621, the distance between slider 622 and the second mounting block 626 increases. Therefore, during the upward movement of the threaded sleeve 623 and slider 622, the rotating rod 625 can be pulled, causing the rotating rod 625 to move towards the wedge block 611 within the second mounting block 626. When the rotating rod 625 moves towards the wedge block 611, it drives the gear ring 628 on it to move. The gear ring 628 pushes the gear 6211 to rotate. Since the gear 6211 is subject to the locking element... Because the forks 6213 cannot rotate in the reverse direction, after the forks 101 have initially lifted, the rotating rod 625 can drive the second threaded rod 624, the threaded sleeve 623 and the slider 622 to keep the wedge block 611 pressed against it. This prevents the glass plate from being subjected to a large inertial force and shaking during the glass plate handling process, which would cause the wedge blocks 611 on both sides to shift under the action of the compression spring 613 and damage the glass plate. After the wedge block 611 is pressed against it, the electrical system controls the forks 101 to lift again and lift the pallet 2 off the ground.
[0033] Meanwhile, the two wedge blocks 611 can initially fix glass plates of different thicknesses under the action of the compression spring 613. Since the compression spring 613 is elastic, in order to further improve the stability and efficiency of the glass plate fixing, a rotating rod 625, a gear ring 628, a gear 6211, a second threaded rod 624, a threaded sleeve 623 and a slider 622 are set up to provide support for the wedge blocks 611 when the fork 101 is raised, so as to prevent the wedge blocks 611 from shifting. Compared with using a screw to prevent the wedge blocks 611 from moving, using the fork 101 to drive the second fixing component to press the wedge blocks 611 together can improve the fixing efficiency and eliminate the need for manual adjustment, thereby improving the safety of glass handling.
[0034] like Figures 10 to 13As shown, the locking component 6213 includes a fixed shaft 13 disposed on one side of the gear 6211. The fixed shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the second mounting block 626. A lever 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 13. The lever 14 is located between the teeth of the gear 6211. A baffle 15 is disposed above the lever 14. The baffle 15 is fixedly connected to the second mounting block 626. The baffle 15 contacts the lever 14 and prevents the lever 14 from rotating in the opposite direction. This allows the lever 14 to rotate only in one direction under the push of the teeth of the gear 6211, thereby enabling the gear 6211 to rotate only in one direction and achieving the locking effect.
[0035] like Figure 14 As shown, each gear ring 628 has a notch 16, and the notches 16 on multiple gear rings 628 are connected.
[0036] After the glass plate is transported to the designated location, one person holds the glass plate while another person rotates the rotating rod 625 in the opposite direction to disengage the rotating rod 625 from the threaded sleeve 623. At the same time, while rotating the rotating rod 625 in the opposite direction, the notch 16 of the gear ring 628 on the rotating rod 625 is rotated to the position corresponding to the teeth of the gear 6211. Then, the rotating rod 625 is pulled in the opposite direction to reset the rotating rod 625. Then, the forks 101 are controlled to move down and the pallet 2 is unloaded to the designated position.
[0037] Working principle: First, the upper rod 7 is rotated according to the size of the glass plate to adjust the overall length of the vertical rod 511. When initially fixing the glass plate, the worker pushes the two wedge blocks 611 to both sides of the tray 2 to separate the two wedge blocks 611, and the compression spring 613 is compressed. Then, the glass plate is placed between the two glass blocks, and the elasticity of the compression spring 613 is used to make the two wedge blocks 611 fit with the glass plate. The glass plate first gets initial support from the two wedge blocks 611 to prevent the glass plate from tipping over. Then, the worker rotates the rotating rod 625 through the handle 627. The rotation of the rotating rod 625 drives the second threaded rod 624 to rotate. The second threaded rod 624 rotates into the threaded sleeve 623, so that the rotating rod 625, the second threaded rod 624 and the threaded sleeve 623 are connected.
[0038] Next, the operator controls the fork 101 to initially lift via the electrical system. During this initial lifting, the fork 101 moves the first mounting block 521 upward, compressing the support spring 523. When the support spring 523 is compressed to its limit, the fork 101, the support spring 523, and the first limiting block 522 abut against each other, and the center of gravity of the fork 101 and the glass plate are at the same horizontal level. Simultaneously, because the support spring 523 is compressed to its limit, the fork 101 cannot continue to move upward along the vertical rod 511; it will only move the vertical rod 511 upward after further lifting. During the initial lifting of the fork 101, the fork 101 moves the second mounting block 626 upward. At this time, the pallet 2 and the wedge block 611 are stationary. The second mounting block 626 moves the rotating rod 625 upward, which in turn moves the second threaded rod 624. When the second threaded rod 624 moves upward, it is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 623 by threads, and the threaded sleeve 623 is ball-jointed with the slider 622. Therefore, during the upward movement of the second threaded rod 624, the threaded sleeve 623 and the slider 622 can be driven to move upward along the inclined groove 621 of the wedge block 611. During the upward movement of the threaded sleeve 623 and the slider 622 along the inclined groove 621, the distance between the slider 622 and the second mounting block 626 increases. Therefore, during the upward movement of the threaded sleeve 623 and the slider 622, the rotating rod 625 can be pulled, causing the rotating rod 625 to move towards the wedge block 611 within the second mounting block 626. When the rotating rod 625 moves towards the wedge block 611, it drives the gear ring 628 on it to move. The gear ring 628 pushes the gear 6211 to rotate. However, the gear 6211 cannot rotate in the opposite direction due to the restriction of the locking member 6213.
[0039] Therefore, after the forks 101 have initially lifted, the rotating rod 625 can drive the second threaded rod 624, the threaded sleeve 623, and the slider 622 to keep the wedge block 611 in place, preventing the glass plate from shaking due to large inertial forces during glass plate handling. This would cause the wedge blocks 611 on both sides to shift under the action of the compression spring 613, damaging the glass plate. After the wedge blocks 611 are secured, the electrical system controls the forks 101 to lift again. At this time, the forks 101 drive the first mounting block 521, the vertical rod 511, and the horizontal rod 512. 2. Move the crossbar 512 upward to lift the pallet 2 off the ground, and then transfer the glass plate. After the glass plate is transported to the designated location, one person holds the glass plate while another person rotates the rotating rod 625 in the opposite direction to disengage the rotating rod 625 from the threaded sleeve 623. At the same time, while rotating the rotating rod 625 in the opposite direction, rotate the notch 16 of the gear ring 628 on the rotating rod 625 to the position corresponding to the teeth of the gear 6211. Then pull the rotating rod 625 in the opposite direction to reset the rotating rod 625. Then control the forks 101 to move downward and unload the pallet 2 to the designated position.
