Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of funeral equipment, and in particular to an automatic body transporting device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the devices used to transport remains within funeral homes are all unpowered flatbed carts. One operator first removes the body from a transport vehicle or other loading equipment and places it on the cart, which is then manually pushed by another operator to transport the body within the funeral home. This collaborative process requires at least two people to work simultaneously. While this method of transporting remains is simple and convenient, it suffers from a lack of automation, increasing staff workload and reducing efficiency. This significantly wastes manpower, leading to high labor costs. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1-12 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention discloses an automatic body transport device, comprising a movable AGV trolley 1 for receiving the body, a body receiving device 8,

[0033] The body tray 2 is provided with a body; the body tray 2 allows the body to be transferred between the AGV trolley 1 and the body receiving device 8; a mounting frame 80 is fixedly provided on one side of the body receiving device 8, and a baffle 81 is provided below the mounting frame 80 for blocking the body on the body tray 2;

[0034] It should be noted that the body receiving equipment of this embodiment can be an existing body freezing equipment or an existing body cremation equipment. It should be further noted that one end of the baffle 81 in this embodiment can be rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 80, so that the baffle 81 can be rotated from an initial state parallel to the plane where the bottom of the mounting frame 80 is located to a working state perpendicular to the plane where the bottom of the mounting frame 80 is located. And the rotation drive mechanism can be a motor or other drive mechanism to drive the baffle to rotate around the mounting frame. In this way, the vertically arranged baffle blocks the side of the body on the body tray close to the AGV car, thereby achieving the limitation of one side of the body.

[0035] In addition, the baffle in this embodiment is vertically arranged and adopts other forms of mounting mechanisms. Specifically, the upper end of the baffle is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and the upper end of the electric push rod is fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting frame 81, so that by starting the electric push rod, the movable end of the electric push rod drives the baffle to move in the vertical direction, thereby blocking the body on the body tray from approaching the side of the AGV cart, and then limiting one side of the body.

[0036] The AGV trolley 1 includes a base 10 and a mounting frame 11 located above the base 10. A hooking mechanism for hooking a body tray 2 is provided above the mounting frame 11. The body tray 2 has a body placed thereon.

[0037] The hooking mechanism is lifted and lowered in the vertical direction by the lifting mechanism. The hooking mechanism and the lifting mechanism can be moved synchronously along the length direction of the AGV trolley 1 through the driving mechanism, thereby pushing the body tray from the outside to the AGV trolley or pushing the body tray out of the AGV trolley and sending it to other equipment.

[0038] It should be noted that a protective cover 9 is provided above the lifting mechanism, the driving mechanism and the hooking mechanism of this embodiment.

[0039] It should be noted that when the body of the AGV trolley needs to be transferred to the body receiving device, the body tray is hooked by the hooking mechanism, and the body tray is driven by the driving mechanism to move toward the body receiving device, so that the body tray gradually enters the body receiving device. When the body tray is moved to the body receiving device as a whole, the external controller controls the rotation driving mechanism to drive the baffle to rotate around the mounting frame, so that the baffle rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state, so that the bottom of the baffle contacts the top of the body tray and the baffle is just stuck on one side of the body; or the electric push rod can be controlled to start by the external controller, and the movable end of the electric push rod drives the baffle to descend so that the bottom of the baffle can just contact the top of the body tray and the baffle is just stuck on one side of the body; both of the above methods can achieve the limitation of one side of the body by the baffle. After the limitation is completed, the driving mechanism is started, which drives the body tray to move in the direction away from the body receiving equipment. Since the side of the body close to the AGV car is limited, when the body tray is pulled out of the body receiving equipment through the driving mechanism, the body on the body tray naturally falls onto the body carrying surface on the body receiving equipment, thereby realizing the automatic transfer of the body from the AGV car to the body receiving equipment without manual transfer operation.

[0040] It should also be noted that, in order to allow the body to slide smoothly off the body tray, a plurality of balls 21 are provided on the top of the body tray.

[0041] The embodiment of the present invention can place the body on the body tray through the above-mentioned arrangement. When the body needs to be transferred from the body receiving device to the AGV cart, the AGV cart can be moved to the receiving device where the body tray is placed, and the position of the AGV cart can be adjusted so that the axis of the AGV cart along the horizontal direction is in the same straight line as the axis of the body tray along the horizontal direction. The body pallet is then moved onto the AGV trolley by the hook mechanism, which is then driven by the lifting mechanism to move the hook from the side of the AGV trolley away from the body pallet to the side close to the body pallet. The body pallet is then placed on the support plate of the AGV trolley, and the body is transferred from the external receiving equipment to the AGV trolley. The AGV trolley is restarted, and the AGV trolley can transport the body tray carrying the corpse to other required locations in the funeral home. After arriving at the designated location, the lifting mechanism is started to make the hook rise, and then the hook is inserted into the hanging ring again, and then the hooking mechanism hooks the body tray, and the driving mechanism is started again. The driving mechanism drives the lifting mechanism, the hooking mechanism, and the body tray to move from the side of the AGV trolley away from the equipment where the corpse tray is placed externally to the side of the equipment where the corpse tray is placed externally, and then the electric cylinder is started again, and the electric drive hooking mechanism and the body tray are extended again, so that the corpse tray is completely pushed out of the AGV trolley and placed on the receiving equipment, and the lifting mechanism is started again. The lifting mechanism drives the hook to descend, so that the hook is removed from the hanging ring of the corpse tray, that is, the hooking mechanism is separated from the body tray, and the driving mechanism is started again. The driving mechanism drives the lifting mechanism and the hooking mechanism to retract and return to the initial position of the AGV trolley, so that the corpse is transferred from the AGV trolley to other body receiving equipment.

[0042] The AGV provided in this embodiment of the present invention automatically transports remains within a funeral home through its movement. The AGV can also automatically transfer remains between different receiving devices, eliminating the need for manual handling or pushing of the AGV. This saves manpower and labor costs.

[0043] In this embodiment, the hooking mechanism includes a hooking plate 30 , a hook 31 is provided at the end of the hooking plate 30 , and a hanging ring 20 is fixedly provided on one side of the corpse tray 2 , and the hook 31 cooperates with the hanging ring 20 .

[0044] The embodiment of the present invention can realize the above-mentioned arrangement by adjusting the position of the hook of the hooking mechanism through the lifting mechanism and the driving mechanism and inserting the hook into the hanging ring of the body tray, so that the hooking mechanism can hook the body tray or pull the hook out from the hanging ring of the body tray, thereby realizing the separation of the hooking mechanism and the body tray.

[0045] In this embodiment, one end of the hook plate 30 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the electric cylinder, and the horizontal axis of the movable end of the electric cylinder is in the same straight line as the horizontal axis of the AGV trolley 1 .

[0046] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the embodiment of the present invention can realize that after the lifting mechanism and the hooking mechanism move from one end of the AGV trolley to the other end, the electric cylinder can be started to drive the hooking mechanism to further move along the length direction of the AGV trolley, making it convenient for the hooking mechanism to hook the body tray outside the AGV trolley.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a cylinder 40, which is fixed on a fixed plate 41. A mounting plate 42 is provided below the fixed plate 41. The movable end of the cylinder 40 passes through the fixed plate 41 and is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 42. The hooking mechanism is fixed below the mounting plate 42.

[0048] The embodiment of the present invention, through the above arrangement, can realize that by activating the cylinder, the movable end of the cylinder can be extended and retracted in the vertical direction, thereby driving the hook mechanism to move in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the height of the hook mechanism, thereby facilitating the hook mechanism to hook the body tray, and facilitating the body tray to be pushed onto or pushed off the AGV.

[0049] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a translation driver 50, the driving end of which is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 41. Sliders 51 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the two ends of the bottom of the fixed plate 41. Enclosures 12 are provided above the top of the mounting frame 11 on both sides. A support plate 13 for supporting the body tray 2 is provided on the top of the mounting frame 11. Both sides of the support plate 13 are fixedly connected to one side of the two enclosures 12. Slide rails 14 are fixedly installed on the top of each of the two enclosures 12, and two slide blocks 51 are slidably connected to the two slide rails 14.

[0050] The embodiment of the present invention can realize that by starting the translation drive, the movable end of the translation drive drives the fixed plate and the slider connected to the fixed plate to slide on the slide rail, so that the fixed plate, the lifting mechanism set on the fixed plate, the mounting plate connected to the lifting mechanism, and the hook mechanism connected to the mounting plate can be synchronously moved from one end of the AGV trolley to the other end along the length direction of the AGV trolley, thereby facilitating the hook mechanism to hook the body tray and push the body tray completely onto the AGV trolley, thereby transferring the body from other equipment to the AGV trolley. Alternatively, it is convenient to completely push the body tray out of the AGV trolley, and after pushing it out, the hook mechanism is separated from the body tray, thereby transferring the body from the AGV trolley to other equipment.

[0051] In this embodiment, the support plate 13 is symmetrically provided with a plurality of square holes 130 along both sides of its length direction. The square holes 130 vertically penetrate the support plate 13. A roller 131 is provided in each square hole 130. Each roller 131 corresponds to a square hole 130; and the top of the roller 131 is located above the top of the square hole 130.

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention can realize the above-mentioned arrangement by arranging rollers on both sides of the top of the support plate, and utilizing the rotatable characteristics of the rollers so that the body tray can slide on the support plate, and then after the tray is hooked by the hooking mechanism, the body tray can be pushed onto the AGV trolley from the outside through the driving mechanism and can slide on the support plate, thereby avoiding the bottom of the body tray directly contacting the top of the support plate when being pushed onto the AGV trolley and damaging the bottom of the body tray or the top of the support plate due to the friction between the two, thereby extending the service life of the body tray and the support plate.

[0053] In this embodiment, mounting beams 15 are symmetrically fixed on both sides below the support plate 13, and a mounting groove 16 is provided on the top of the mounting beam 15. The rollers 131 are arranged in the mounting grooves 16 on the corresponding sides, and each roller 131 can be rotatably connected in the mounting groove 16.

[0054] The embodiment of the present invention can realize the installation and fixation of the roller through the above-mentioned arrangement.

[0055] In this embodiment, the AGV trolley 1 also includes a scissor-type mechanism 6 for lifting the support plate 13 and the two enclosures 12. The upper end of the scissor-type mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two enclosures 12, and the bottom of the scissor-type mechanism 6 is fixed on the base 10. The scissor-type mechanism 6 is driven by a driving device.

[0056] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the embodiment of the present invention can realize the vertical rise or fall of the top of the scissor mechanism by driving the driving device, and then realize the vertical rise or fall of the support plate and the hook mechanism, thereby realizing the vertical rise or fall of the body tray placed on the support plate on the AGV trolley, so that the height of the body tray placed on the AGV trolley from the ground is adapted to the height of other equipment in the funeral home (such as body storage cabinets, body dressing tables), which facilitates the horizontal transfer of the body tray to other equipment in the funeral home after being pushed out of the AGV trolley, or facilitates the horizontal transfer of the body tray from other equipment in the funeral home to the AGV trolley.

[0057] In this embodiment, four universal wheels 7 are fixedly provided on the bottom of the base 10 .

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention can realize the movement of the AGV trolley through the four universal wheels through the above-mentioned arrangement, and then realize the transportation of the body on the AGV trolley within the funeral home.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above description only describes specific embodiments of the present invention in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Equivalent modifications and substitutions made by those skilled in the art are also within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
