Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of freight elevators, and more particularly to a high-load-bearing freight elevator. Background Technology

[0002] A high-load-bearing freight elevator is a specialized elevator device designed for transporting heavy goods. It typically has a large load capacity and size, capable of carrying large items or equipment, such as machinery and building materials. High-load-bearing freight elevators are commonly used in industrial, commercial, or logistics facilities to quickly and safely transport heavy goods from one floor to another.

[0003] High-load-bearing freight elevators are typically metal enclosures, found in shopping malls and office buildings for transporting goods. When transporting heavy loads, space limitations often prevent delivery vehicles from entering the elevator. The goods must be placed outside the elevator doors and manually moved inside. Due to the weight of the goods, multiple workers are usually required, a method that is both labor-intensive and dangerous. Using small trolleys to haul heavy loads into the elevator often results in improper entry angles, causing collisions with the elevator walls and shortening its lifespan. For goods that cannot be stacked, they must be placed at the bottom of the elevator, limiting the number that can be transported and requiring multiple trips, consuming significant time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing high-load freight elevators, such as their inability to assist in cargo handling, inconvenience for trailers, and limited capacity for hauling non-stackable goods, and to propose a high-load freight elevator.

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A T-shaped moving block is slidably arranged on the inner wall of each of the two rotating rods. A connecting shaft is rotatably arranged at one end of each of the two moving blocks. A loading platform is fixed to one end of each connecting shaft. First motors are fixed to both sides of the outer wall of the car. The output ends of the two first motors are fixedly connected to the ends of the drive shafts. A synchronous rotation component and a lifting component are provided on each of the two rotating rods. A delivery component is provided on the loading platform.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a first threaded rod, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod. The moving block is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod.

[0009] Preferably, the delivery component includes multiple rollers laterally rotatably distributed in the middle of the loading platform, inclined plates sliding at both ends of the loading platform, and movable grooves opened on both sides of the upper surface of the loading platform, wherein the inclined plates are provided with adjustment components.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment component includes a fixed block, which is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the loading platform. A second threaded rod is rotatably provided inside the fixed block, and a lifting rod is slidably provided inside the fixed block. Both ends of the lifting rod are fixedly connected to the vertical plane of the inclined plate, and a rotating ring is fixedly provided at the lower end of the second threaded rod. The rotating ring is located outside and below the fixed block.

[0011] Preferably, a support assembly is provided below the loading platform, and one end of the support assembly is connected to the car.

[0012] Preferably, the support assembly includes two positioning blocks, which are fixedly connected to the lower surface edge of the loading platform. Each positioning block is fixedly provided with a circular rod, and each circular rod is rotatably provided with a support frame. Each end of the support frame is fixedly provided with a positioning shaft. Support grooves are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the car, and multiple positioning grooves are fixedly provided on the inner wall of each of the two support grooves. The positioning shaft is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning groove.

[0013] Preferably, a pair of connecting blocks are fixedly provided on the lower surface of the loading platform, and the inner wall of the connecting blocks is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning shaft.

[0014] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly provided at each of the four corners of the upper surface of the loading platform, and a stop bar is rotatably provided on each fixing frame.

The rotating rod is then rotated in the opposite direction to allow the loading platform to quickly send the heavy goods into the elevator, thereby improving the safety of handling heavy goods.

[0018] 2. In this invention, by first moving the loading platform below the rotating rod and then moving the goods onto the loading platform, the loading platform is moved above the rotating rod before other goods are moved into the car, thereby increasing the elevator's carrying capacity and reducing the number of handling operations.

[0019] 3. In this invention, when both the rotating rod and the loading platform are located outside the elevator, they can block the elevator door, preventing it from closing at regular intervals, thus facilitating the transport of goods into the elevator and improving transport efficiency.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Example 1: This example provides a high-load-bearing freight elevator, see [link / reference]. Figure 1-8 Specifically, the car includes a car 1, with two symmetrically arranged limit frames 11 at the bottom of the inner wall of the car 1. Each limit frame 11 is rotatably equipped with a drive shaft 12. Each drive shaft 12 has a rotating rod 13 fixed at one end. Each rotating rod 13 has a T-shaped moving block 14 slidably arranged on the inner wall of the two rotating rods 13. Each moving block 14 has a connecting shaft 15 rotatably arranged at one end. Each connecting shaft 15 has a loading platform 16 fixed at one end. Each outer wall of the car 1 has a first motor 17 fixed on both sides. The output ends of the two first motors 17 are fixedly connected to the ends of the drive shafts 12. Each rotating rod 13 is equipped with a synchronous rotation component and a lifting component. The loading platform 16 is equipped with a delivery component. The length of the loading platform 16 is two-thirds of that of the car 1. The connecting shaft 15 is located in the middle of the loading platform 16.

[0032] A loading platform 16 is installed in a high-load-bearing freight elevator. During operation, the first motor 17 drives the drive shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 13 to rotate. As the rotating rod 13 rotates outward from the car 1, the synchronous rotating assembly drives the loading platform 16 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating rod 13 rotates 90 degrees to be parallel to the ground outside the elevator. The loading platform 16 is parallel to the rotating rod 13 and is also located outside the car 1. Heavy goods are placed on the upper surface of the loading platform 16 using a forklift. The lifting assembly moves the loading platform 16 to the end of the rotating rod 13 and into the car 1. Then, the rotating rod 13 rotates in the opposite direction to enter the car 1. The loading platform 16 and the rotating rod 13 are perpendicular to each other. Because the loading platform 16 and the rotating rod 13 rotate synchronously, the loading platform 16 always remains parallel to the ground, enabling the rapid transfer of heavy objects into the car 1 and improving safety during handling. When the loading platform 16 is inside the car 1, there is space between the front end of the loading platform 16 and the entrance / exit of the car 1, which is convenient for workers to stand.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a first threaded rod 3, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating rod 13. The moving block 14 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 3. A third motor 36 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the rotating rod 13, and the output end of the third motor 36 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first threaded rod 3.

[0034] The first threaded rod 3 is driven to rotate by the third motor 36. The first threaded rod 3 drives the moving block 14 to slide along the inner wall of the rotating rod 13. The moving block 14 drives the connecting shaft 15 and the loading platform 16 to move up and down synchronously, adjusting the position of the loading platform 16 on the rotating rod 13.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the synchronous rotation assembly includes a concave limiting rod 31, a limiting block 32 slidably mounted on the limiting rod 31, a second motor 33 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the limiting block 32, a rotating wheel 34 fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor 33 and on the connecting shaft 15, a belt 35 mounted on the rotating wheel 34, and a synchronous rod 37 fixedly mounted on the limiting block 32, one end of the synchronous rod 37 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moving block 14;

[0036] The second motor 33 rotates synchronously with the first motor 17. The second motor 33 drives the rotating wheel 34 to rotate. The rotating wheel 34 drives another rotating wheel 34 to rotate via the belt 35. The other rotating wheel 34 drives the connecting shaft 15 to rotate along the moving block 14. The connecting shaft 15 drives the loading platform 16 to rotate synchronously. When the moving block 14 moves, it drives the synchronizing rod 37 to move. The synchronizing rod 37 drives the limiting block 32 and the second motor 33 to move synchronously. The limiting rod 31 restricts the movement of the limiting block 32.

[0037] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a support assembly is provided below the loading platform 16. One end of the support assembly is connected to the car 1. The support assembly includes two positioning blocks 6. The two positioning blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the edge of the lower surface of the loading platform 16. A circular rod 61 is fixedly provided on each positioning block 6. A support frame 62 is rotatably provided on each circular rod 61. A positioning shaft 63 is fixedly provided at the end of each support frame 62. Support grooves 64 are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the car 1. Multiple positioning grooves are fixedly provided on the inner wall of each of the two support grooves 64. The positioning shaft 63 is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning groove. A pair of connecting blocks 7 are fixedly provided on the lower surface of the loading platform 16. The inner wall of the connecting blocks 7 is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning shaft 63.

[0038] When loading goods onto the loading platform 16 and after it is located inside the car 1, the support frame 62 is moved laterally along the circular rod 61, causing the positioning shaft 63 at the end of the support frame 62 to leave the connecting block 7. Then, the support frame 62 is rotated so that the end of the support frame 62 enters the support groove 64 on the car 1. The support frame 62 is then pushed laterally so that the positioning shaft 63 at the end of the support frame 62 is inserted into the positioning groove on the inner wall of the support groove 64. The two support frames 62 support the loading platform 16, thereby improving the stability of the loading platform 16.

[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example also includes:

[0040] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the delivery assembly includes multiple rollers 2 that are laterally rotatably distributed in the middle of the loading platform 16, inclined plates 21 that slide at both ends of the loading platform 16, and moving grooves 22 opened on both sides of the upper surface of the loading platform 16. An adjustment assembly is provided on the inclined plate 21. The adjustment assembly includes a fixed block 5. The fixed block 5 is fixedly connected to the center position of the lower surface of the loading platform 16. A second threaded rod 52 is rotatably provided in the fixed block 5. A lifting rod 51 is slidably provided in the fixed block 5. The two ends of the lifting rod 51 are fixedly connected to the vertical plane of the inclined plate 21 respectively. A rotating ring 53 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the second threaded rod 52. The rotating ring 53 is located outside and below the fixed block 5.

[0041] When the loading platform 16 is located outside the car 1, some light goods can be placed on the roller 2 and pushed into the car 1 to speed up the loading process. When encountering goods that cannot be stacked, the loading platform 16 is first moved below the rotating rod 13, and the goods are moved onto the loading platform 16. Then, the loading platform 16 is moved above the rotating rod 13, and other goods are moved into the car 1 to increase the load capacity of the freight elevator. The rotating ring 53 drives the second threaded rod 52 to rotate, and the second threaded rod 52 drives the lifting rod 51 to move along the fixed block 5. The lifting rod 51 drives the inclined plates at both ends to move. 21 moves upward, and the side of the inclined plate 21 is higher than the surface of the loading platform 16, blocking the goods on the loading platform 16 to prevent them from falling and improving safety. When the trolley is loaded with goods and needs to enter the car 1, the loading platform 16 is moved to the outside of the car 1, the inclined plate 21 is in contact with the ground, and the trolley is pushed from the inclined plate 21 into the moving groove 22 on the loading platform 16. Then, the loading platform 16 moves laterally, so that the loading platform 16 and the trolley with goods are brought into the car 1, avoiding the trolley with goods from colliding with the inner wall of the car 1 when it enters the car 1, thus protecting the car 1.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, each of the four corners of the upper surface of the loading platform 16 is fixed with a bracket 4, and each bracket 4 is rotatably equipped with a stop bar 41. When the trolley is located in the moving groove 22, the stop bar 41 is rotated so that the stop bar 41 is located on the side of the trolley wheel, preventing the trolley from moving on the loading platform 16 and improving safety.

[0043] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this invention are as follows:

[0044] A loading platform 16 is installed in a high-load freight elevator. During use, the first motor 17 drives the drive shaft 12 to rotate, and the drive shaft 12 drives the rotating rod 13 to rotate. While the rotating rod 13 rotates to the outside of the car 1, the second motor 33 drives the rotating wheel 34 to rotate. The rotating wheel 34 drives another rotating wheel 34 to rotate through the belt 35. The other rotating wheel 34 drives the connecting shaft 15 to rotate along the moving block 14. The connecting shaft 15 drives the loading platform 16 to rotate synchronously, so that the rotating rod 13 rotates 90 degrees to be parallel to the ground outside the elevator. The loading platform 16 is parallel to the rotating rod 13 and is also located outside the car 1.

[0045] When moving heavy objects, the heavy goods are placed on the upper surface of the loading platform 16 by a forklift, and then the rotating rod 13 and the loading platform 16 are rotated into the car 1 to realize the rapid handling of heavy objects.

[0046] When moving goods that cannot be stacked, first move the loading platform 16 below the rotating rod 13, move the goods onto the loading platform 16, then move the loading platform 16 above the rotating rod 13, and then move the other goods into the car 1 to increase the elevator's load capacity and reduce the number of handling operations.

[0047] When the trolley is loaded with goods and enters the elevator, the loading platform 16 is moved to the outside of the car 1, the inclined plate 21 is in contact with the ground, and the trolley is pushed from the inclined plate 21 into the moving slot 22 on the loading platform 16. Then, the loading platform 16 is moved laterally so that the loading platform 16 and the trolley with goods are brought into the car 1, avoiding the trolley with goods from colliding with the inner wall of the car 1 when it enters the car 1.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
