Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile transportation, and in particular to a steel coil fixing device for automobile transportation. Background Art

[0002] When transporting steel coils, the steel coils often roll or slide due to emergency braking or turning, endangering driving safety and causing traffic accidents. Existing trucks usually transport steel coils in a horizontal loading mode. When transporting steel coils in a horizontal loading mode, the device for fixing the steel coils is usually a concave grass support pad plus a baffle or a steel support structure. Some steel mills even use customized vehicles to fix and transport steel coils.

[0003] The concave grass support pad has a simple structure and low cost, but sometimes the steel coil jumps out of the grass mat and the steel coil tilts, and the reliability is low. For safety reasons, metal objects (such as wire ropes, ratchet mechanisms, S-shaped hooks, etc.) are usually used for reinforcement, which will lead to long reinforcement and disassembly time. The steel support structure has high reliability, but the structure is usually a welded structure, which is not suitable for the fixation of steel coils of different sizes and has poor versatility. And due to the different purchase quantities of customers, the steel support may not be able to be returned in batches in time. If the original vehicle is used for return, the transportation cost is high. Customized vehicles usually have a V-groove seat frame structure. The structural device is firmly fixed, safe and reliable, and does not require other reinforcement materials and reinforcement measures, saving reinforcement costs and loading and unloading operation time. However, the vehicles of this transportation mode are customized, and the customization cost itself is high. It is not conducive to loading other types of goods. The vehicles often return empty, which not only occupies the transportation line and wastes transportation capacity, but also generates empty freight, and the transportation efficiency is not high.

[0010] Preferably, the base guide rail has a row of array holes, and the size and hole spacing of the array holes correspond to the fixing hole positions of the front baffle unit, the rear baffle unit, and the bottom support plate.

[0011] Preferably, the front baffle unit or the rear baffle unit comprises a mounting base, a baffle, a rotating shaft and two jacks;

[0014] The rotating shaft connects the baffle plate and the mounting base, so that the baffle plate can adjust the opening size according to the size of the steel coil 7;

[0015] The jacks are arranged at both ends of the mounting base and at the lower ends of both sides of the baffle. The height of the jack lifting cylinder is adjusted by a manual operating lever, and the inclination angle of the baffle is adjusted to provide clamping force for the baffle.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom support plate is used to bear the weight of the steel coil, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the bottom support plate, which is fixed on the two base rails through corresponding holes, and the size of the fixed holes and the hole spacing correspond to the bottom rail holes.

[0033] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1A , 1B The front view and top view of the automobile transport steel coil fixing device shown mainly include a base guide rail 1, a front baffle unit 2, a rear baffle unit 3, a bottom support plate 4, a side protection column 5 and a protective rubber pad 6.

[0035] The base rails 1 are two parallel rails installed in parallel with the wheel direction, which are installed on the carriage by mounting screws or directly welded on the carriage, and provide mounting interfaces for the front baffle unit 2, the rear baffle unit 3, and the bottom support plate 4. The base rails 1 have a row of array holes, and the size and hole spacing of the array holes correspond to the fixed hole positions of the front baffle unit 2, the rear baffle unit 3, and the bottom support plate 4, so as to facilitate position adjustment.

[0036] The front baffle unit 2 and the rear baffle unit 3 are installed on the base guide rail 1 in an adjustable front and rear manner according to the diameter of the steel coil 7. After installation, the front baffle and the rear baffle with adjustable inclination angles in the front baffle unit 2 and the rear baffle unit 3 form a groove, and the steel coil 7 is placed in the groove. The circular surface of the steel coil 7 is tangent to the front baffle and the rear baffle surface respectively, which plays the role of clamping the steel coil 7 and limiting the front and rear displacement of the steel coil in the driving direction.

[0037] like Figure 2A , 2B As shown, the front baffle unit 1 and the rear baffle unit 2 are the same structural unit, and only the installation positions are different. Each baffle unit is mainly composed of a mounting base 2-1, a baffle 2-2, a rotating shaft 2-3 and two jacks 2-4.

[0038] The mounting base 2-1 is provided with mounting holes matching the base rail 1 and mounting studs matching the jack 2-4, providing a mounting plane for the baffle 2-2, the shaft 2-3 and the jack 2-4. The size and hole spacing of the fixing holes of the mounting base 2-1 correspond to the base rail 1, and the mounting position of the mounting base 2-1 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the steel coil 7.

[0039] The baffle 2-2 is mounted on the mounting base 2-1 via the rotating shaft 2-3, and plays the role of clamping the steel coil 7 to limit the displacement of the steel coil 7 in the driving direction. A lifting ring is arranged on the side of the baffle 2-2 to facilitate the overall lifting.

[0040] The rotating shaft 2 - 3 connects the baffle 2 - 2 and the mounting base 2 - 1 , so that the baffle 2 - 2 can adjust the opening size according to the size of the steel coil 7 , thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of loading the steel coil 7 .

[0041] The jacks 2-4 are arranged at both ends of the mounting base 2-1 and at the lower ends of both sides of the baffle 2-2 to provide clamping force for the baffle 2-2. The height of the jack lifting cylinder and the inclination angle of the baffle 2-2 can be adjusted by a manual operating lever to adapt to steel coils 7 of different sizes.

[0042] like Figure 3A , 3B As shown, the bottom support plate 4 is mainly used to bear the weight of the steel coil to prevent the steel coil from directly pressing on the bottom guide rail 1, causing damage to the bottom guide rail 1 and the steel coil 7. The bottom support plate 4 is provided with a certain number of mounting holes, and is fixed on the two base guide rails 1 through the corresponding holes. The size and spacing of the fixed holes correspond to the holes of the bottom guide rail 1. The left and right sides of the bottom support plate 4 are provided with mounting hole arrays for mounting the side protection columns 5, so as to facilitate adjusting the mounting position of the side protection columns 5 according to the length of the steel coil 7.

[0043] The side protection column 5 is installed on the left and right sides of the bottom support plate to provide left and right side limits for the steel coil. The inner column of the side protection column 5 is a steel column, and the outer layer is a high-strength rubber, which can ensure strength and protect the steel coil 7.

[0044] The protective rubber pad 6 is fixed to the front baffle unit 2, the rear baffle unit 3 and the bottom support plate 4 by screws. The protective rubber pad 6 can not only reduce the impact force on the steel coil 7 when placing the steel coil 7, and protect the steel coil 7 from damage, but also increase the friction between the steel coil 7 and the steel coil fixing device. The protective rubber pad 6 is U-shaped, and can wrap the steel coil 7 well with the angle adjustment of the front and rear baffles, greatly increasing the friction between the steel coil 7 and the protective rubber pad 6, and can effectively prevent the steel coil from moving sideways when the vehicle turns.

[0045] The above-mentioned steel coil fixing device for automobile transportation has modular design for each component unit, and the number of steel coil fixing devices can be flexibly configured according to the length and load of the automobile body. Figure 4A , 4B As shown, a vehicle is equipped with 2 sets of vehicle transport steel coil fixing devices, which are arranged at the front and rear of the vehicle respectively. If the steel coil size is small, 3 sets of vehicle transport steel coil fixing devices can be arranged, which are arranged at the front, middle and rear.

[0046] The automobile transport steel coil fixing device can roughly adapt to the specifications of the loaded steel coil by adjusting the installation positions of the front baffle unit 2 and the rear baffle unit 3; can accurately clamp the steel coil by adjusting the height of the lifting cylinder of the jack 2-4; and can be adapted to the fixed transportation of steel coils of various specifications. Figure 5A ,5B This is a schematic diagram of fixing a large steel coil, with the jack raised low; Fig. 6A , 6B This is a schematic diagram of fixing a small steel coil. The jack is raised higher to clamp the steel coil.

[0047] like Fig. 7A , 7B As shown in the diagram of the state when not in use, the automobile transportation steel coil fixing device has a modular design, modular installation, and is easy to disassemble. When returning empty, it can be centrally installed at one end of the automobile, and the other end can be used to carry other goods, thereby improving transportation efficiency.

[0048] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
