[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering construction, and specifically to an adjustable support material transfer device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of engineering construction, material transfer is a crucial link that affects project progress and on-site safety. Nowadays, with the increasing number of finished materials, including aerated concrete blocks, cement bricks, bagged cement, etc., manual secondary handling of these materials on-site is often inefficient and costly. Using traditional hoppers for hoisting also requires moving the materials out of the hopper, which consumes a lot of effort. Therefore, this paper proposes to design an adjustable support material transfer device and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an adjustable support material transfer device and its usage method, thereby solving the problem that existing methods for transferring materials require a lot of effort.

[0004] This invention provides an adjustable support material transfer device and its usage method. The technical solution is as follows: the transfer device is used to transfer materials on different types of pallets. The transfer device includes: a cage with a closed top and an open bottom, which can be covered on the pallet through the bottom opening; lifting rings at the four corners of the top of the cage; multiple sliders movably disposed on both sides of the bottom of the cage, each slider having a square slot; and a force-bearing square tube that can be inserted into the slot of the slider, the force-bearing square tube passing through the bottom of the pallet.

[0005] Furthermore, it also includes slide rails symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bottom of the cage, and the slider is slidably mounted on the slide rails.

[0006] Furthermore, the slide rail includes two rails arranged opposite each other, with the two ends of the two rails fixedly connected; the upper and lower ends of the slider are provided with protrusions, and the slide rail is located on the outside of the tray when the hanging cover is placed on the tray;

[0007] The protrusion is slidably disposed within the corresponding track.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of sliding bolts and a first fastening nut to restrict the sliding of the slider. The ends of the sliding bolts are slidably disposed within the track of the slide rail, and the sliding bolts are in close contact with the side of the corresponding slider.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes reinforcing bolts and second fastening nuts for fixing the stressed square tube. Bolt holes are provided at both ends of the stressed square tube. The reinforcing bolts pass through the bolt holes of the stressed square tube, and the second fastening nuts are screwed onto the corresponding reinforcing bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, the dimensions of the end of the reinforcing bolt and the second fastening nut are larger than the dimensions of the slot on the slider, and are in close contact with the slider.

[0011] The present invention also provides a method of using an adjustable support material transfer device, characterized in that the specific steps are as follows: a crane is provided, and the crane is used to lift the cage to the position of the pallet through the lifting ring, and the cage is lowered to cover the pallet; the slider is moved so that the slot on the slider corresponds to the slot at the bottom of the pallet; the force-bearing square tube is inserted into the slot of the slider and passes through the corresponding slot; the cage is lifted and the pallet is moved to the designated position.

[0012] Furthermore, after aligning the slider with the slot at the bottom of the tray, slide the corresponding sliding bolt so that the sliding bolt is in close contact with both sides of the slider, and tighten the first fastening nut on the sliding bolt to fix the slider.

[0013] Furthermore, after the force-bearing square tube is inserted into the slider, a reinforcing bolt and a second fastening nut are provided. The reinforcing bolt is passed through the bolt hole on one side of the force-bearing square tube and out through the bolt hole on the other side, and then the second fastening nut is tightened.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] By incorporating a lifting cage with an opening at the bottom, the cage can cover the pallet, enabling one-time loading of the entire package. The sliding slider and the force-bearing square tube inserted within it allow the square tube to adapt to different types of pallets. When the slot positions on the bottom of different pallets vary, the position of the slider can be adjusted.

[0016] By setting sliding bolts and a first fastening nut, the sliding bolts fix the slider, preventing the slider from sliding and causing the pallet to fall off during hoisting.

[0017] By setting a reinforcing bolt and a second fastening nut, the ends of the reinforcing bolt and the second fastening nut clamp the ends of the slider and the stressed square tube, preventing the stressed square tube from falling out of the slider. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] See Figure 1 This invention provides an adjustable support material transfer device and its usage method, solving the problem that existing material transfer methods require a lot of effort. By setting a cage with an open bottom, the cage can cover the pallet, thus achieving one-time loading of the entire item. By setting a sliding slider and a force-bearing square tube inserted into the slider, the force-bearing square tube can adapt to different types of pallets. When the slot positions on the bottom of different pallets are different, the position of the slider can be adjusted. By setting a sliding bolt and a first fastening nut, the sliding bolt fixes the slider, preventing the pallet from slipping and falling off during lifting. By setting a reinforcing bolt and a second fastening nut, the ends of the reinforcing bolt and the second fastening nut clamp the ends of the slider and the force-bearing square tube, preventing the force-bearing square tube from falling out of the slider.
