Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transporting film tank metal components, and in particular to a steel plate transporting device and method. Background Art

[0002] During the manufacturing process of membrane tanks, large-sized components such as steel plates, grooved steel plates and insulation modules need to be frequently transported and positioned and installed during prefabrication and on-site assembly. The existing technology usually adopts manual handling to operate. Operators mostly lift or move the steel plates by holding the edges of the steel plates or simple handles set on the components. However, due to the large size and heavy weight of the steel plates, the steel plates are prone to tilt or even slide due to center of gravity offset, uneven force and other reasons during manual handling. Not only is the operating efficiency low, but in complex environments with sharp component edges, narrow working space or proximity to other components, there are also personal safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing, which threaten the operator's working safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to improve the defects of the existing film tank manufacturing process, in which metal components such as steel plates are prone to tilting and sliding during manual transportation, resulting in low work efficiency and personal safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing, the present application provides a steel plate transfer device and method.

[0004] The present application provides a steel plate transfer device and method using the following technical solutions:

[0005] A steel plate transfer device comprises a device body, a handle mechanism connected to the upper side of the device body, a lower clamping mechanism connected to the lower side of the device body, and a clamping locking mechanism inserted into the device body;

[0006] The clamping and locking mechanism includes a rotating transmission gear inserted into the device body and rotatably connected to the device body, a clamping transmission assembly located on one side of the rotating transmission gear and meshing with the rotating transmission gear, a movable clamping assembly located on the other side of the rotating transmission gear and meshing with the rotating transmission gear, and a clamping and locking assembly movably inserted into the handle mechanism and plugged into the movable clamping assembly;

[0007] The upper end of the clamping transmission assembly is movably inserted into the handle mechanism, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator holds the handle mechanism and pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward, the clamping transmission assembly moves up in the vertical direction under the guidance of the handle mechanism, and the clamping transmission assembly drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate. While the rotating transmission gear rotates, it drives the movable clamping assembly to move downward, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate inserted between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism. The linkage structure of the present application converts the thrust of the upper end into the clamping action of the lower end, forming a stable mechanical transmission path, realizing the force amplification and direction conversion of the clamping operation. The present application has a compact structure, convenient operation, fast clamping response, and is suitable for steel plates of different specifications. It reduces the risk of metal components such as steel plates tilting and sliding during manual transportation during the manufacturing process of film tanks, resulting in personal safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing.

[0009] Preferably, the handle mechanism is provided with a clamping guide slot which is open in the direction facing the device body; the clamping transmission assembly includes a gripping clamping component movably inserted in the clamping guide slot, and a clamping drive rack connected to the gripping clamping component and movably inserted in the device body, and the clamping drive rack is engaged with the rotating transmission gear.

[0010] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the clamping guide groove is used to limit the movement path of the clamping transmission assembly. When the operator pushes the gripping clamping component upward along the clamping guide groove, the clamping drive rack moves upward synchronously, driving the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the forward direction. The rotating transmission gear then drives the movable clamping assembly to move downward to realize the clamping action of the steel plate. The present application ensures the linear and stable transmission of the clamping action through the clamping guide groove, avoids shaking or offset of the clamping transmission assembly, and utilizes the meshing relationship between the clamping drive rack and the rotating transmission gear to realize the mechanical force conversion between manual operation and clamping action. The present application has precise transmission, stable clamping, smooth operation and compact structure.

[0011] Preferably, the handle mechanism is provided with a handle through hole connected to the clamping guide slot, and the gripping and clamping component is provided with a gripping through hole correspondingly connected to the handle through hole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator passes his fingers through the handle through-hole and inserts them into the gripping through-hole, the handle mechanism and the gripping clamping component can be directly grasped. By manually pulling the gripping clamping component, the gripping clamping component is moved linearly along the clamping guide groove, and the clamping drive rack connected to the gripping clamping component is driven to move upward. The clamping drive rack engages with the rotating transmission gear, and then drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate to realize clamping linkage. By setting the handle through-hole and the gripping through-hole, the present application enables the operator to accurately control the clamping action in a closed or narrow space, which not only ensures the safety and convenience of the operation, but also improves the stability and response efficiency of the clamping action.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping locking mechanism also includes a top-pressing reset component inserted in the clamping guide groove, and the top-pressing reset component is located between the handle mechanism and the gripping clamping component. The top-pressing reset component is used to press the gripping clamping component and keep the clamping transmission component moving in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the top pressure reset component is used to apply continuous reverse top pressure to the gripping clamping component after the operator releases the operating force, so that the clamping transmission component maintains a trend of moving in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism. When the operator releases the push on the gripping clamping component, the top pressure reset component automatically returns to its position through the action of elastic force, thereby driving the clamping drive rack to move downward, causing the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the opposite direction, and thereby causing the movable clamping component to move up to release the clamping state. The present application does not require an external drive device to achieve automatic reset of the clamping mechanism, ensuring that the device can be restored to its initial clamping state after each use, preventing the clamping component from remaining in the clamping position and affecting subsequent use, thereby improving operational continuity and operational safety.

[0015] Preferably, the movable clamping assembly includes a clamping and pressing rack movably inserted inside the device body, and an upper clamping plate connected to the lower end of the clamping and pressing rack, and the upper clamping plate corresponds to the lower clamping mechanism for clamping the steel plate.

[0016] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward through the handle mechanism, the gripping clamping component drives the clamping drive rack to move upward, causing the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the positive direction and drive the clamping pressure rack to move downward, so that the upper clamping plate moves downward synchronously and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate. The present application uses a rotating gear as an intermediate transmission component to convert the linear motion of the clamping transmission assembly into a linked clamping of the clamping pressure rack, thereby realizing a vertical clamping action on the steel plate, and at the same time ensuring that the clamping force is evenly distributed along the thickness direction of the steel plate to avoid bias or clamping deviation, thereby improving the clamping efficiency, structural response speed and controllability of the clamping force, and is suitable for stable transportation and positioning of different steel plates.

[0017] Preferably, the lower clamping mechanism includes a clamping support rod assembly connected to the bottom of the device body, and a lower clamping plate connected to the lower end of the clamping support rod assembly and correspondingly matched with the upper clamping plate; the clamping support rod assembly is movably inserted on the upper clamping plate, the upper clamping plate is located above the lower clamping plate, and the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate correspond to each other for clamping the steel plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward to drive the clamping drive rack upward, and rotates the transmission gear to move the clamping pressure rack downward, the clamping pressure rack drives the upper clamping plate downward in linkage, and forms a clamping fit with the lower clamping plate, clamping the steel plate between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate. The clamping support rod assembly plays a role of limiting, guiding and anti-deformation support during the clamping process, ensuring that the upper clamping plate maintains a stable clamping path and clamping angle under stress, avoiding offset or crooked clamping. The structure of the present application completes the effective clamping of the steel plate through the opposite actions of the upper and lower clamping plates. Not only is the clamping force evenly distributed and the structure compact, but the operation stability is also high.

[0019] Preferably, the device body is provided with a driving rack slot for the movable insertion of the clamping driving rack and a pressing rack slot for the movable insertion of the clamping pressing rack, and the rotating transmission gear is located between the driving rack slot and the pressing rack slot.

[0020] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward, the clamping drive rack moves upward along the driving rack slot, and the rotating transmission gear drives the clamping pressure rack to move downward along the pressure rack slot, thereby realizing the clamping action. The present application limits the movement path of the clamping drive rack by the driving rack slot, and limits the movement path of the clamping pressure rack by the pressure rack slot, ensuring that the clamping drive rack and the clamping pressure rack move smoothly in a straight line within the device body. At the same time, the rotating transmission gear is arranged between the driving rack slot and the pressure rack slot to form an upper and lower bidirectional meshing transmission mechanism, which not only improves the symmetry of the transmission and the torque transmission efficiency, but also effectively reduces the risk of structural interference and rack jamming.

[0021] Preferably, the gripping and clamping component is provided with a limit adjustment rack arranged along the length direction of the clamping drive rack;

[0022] The clamping locking assembly includes a toggle limit component movably inserted in the device body and hinged to the device body, and a locking elastic reset component inserted in the device body and used to press the toggle limit component. The locking elastic reset component is used to press the toggle limit component so that the end of the toggle limit component maintains a tendency to move in the direction of insertion into the limit adjustment rack.

[0023] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the limit adjustment rack is used to form a plurality of pluggable positioning tooth positions. During the clamping operation, when the operator pushes the gripping clamping component to drive the clamping drive rack to move axially to the target clamping position, the locking elastic reset part presses the toggle limit component, so that the end of the toggle limit component is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack to achieve positioning locking, thereby limiting the rebound or loosening of the gripping clamping component, ensuring that the clamping state is stably maintained. The present application provides multi-level locking positions through the limit adjustment rack, and combines the hinged action of the toggle limit component to achieve precise positioning and manual release control, thereby improving the adjustability and anti-loosening ability of the clamping position, so as to be suitable for steel plates of different thicknesses.

[0024] Preferably, the handle mechanism is provided with a locking through hole, a toggle opening provided on the upper side of the handle mechanism and located at one end of the locking through hole, and a locking opening provided in a direction facing the gripping and clamping component and located at the other end of the locking through hole, and the locking opening is communicated with the clamping guide slot;

[0025] The toggle limit component includes a toggle member body inserted in the locking through hole and hinged to the handle mechanism, a toggle protrusion connected to the upper end of the toggle member body and extending from the toggle opening, and a locking protrusion connected to the lower end of the toggle member body and extending from the locking opening, wherein the locking protrusion is used to engage with the limit adjustment rack.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping action is completed and the clamping component is held to drive the clamping drive rack to the target position, the locking elastic reset component pushes the toggle component body, so that the locking protrusion is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack to complete the position locking. The operator presses down the toggle protrusion to rotate the toggle component body around the hinge point between the toggle component body and the handle mechanism, thereby driving the locking protrusion to disengage from the limit adjustment rack, thereby realizing rapid unlocking and resetting of the clamping position. This application effectively connects the internal locking component with the external operating interface through the mechanical coupling of the locking through hole and the toggle limit component, thereby improving the reliability of the locking action and the convenience of unlocking, and is suitable for working scenarios with high-frequency adjustment operations.

[0027] A steel plate transfer method, comprising the above-mentioned steel plate transfer device, further comprising the following steps:

[0028] S1: inserting the side edge of the steel plate between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism;

[0029] S2: Pressing the clamping transmission assembly in a direction away from the lower clamping mechanism;

[0030] S3: the clamping transmission assembly moves upward and drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the forward direction;

[0031] S4: The rotating transmission gear rotates and drives the movable clamping assembly to move downward, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate;

[0032] S5: inserting the clamping locking assembly into the clamping transmission assembly to limit the relative movement between the clamping transmission assembly and the handle mechanism, and locking the positions of the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the side edge of the steel plate is first inserted into the clamping area between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism located in the device body, so that the steel plate is predetermined to be located between the upper and lower clamping structures. Then, the operator presses the clamping transmission assembly provided in the handle mechanism in a direction away from the lower clamping mechanism, and the clamping transmission assembly moves up in the vertical direction. The clamping transmission assembly drives the rotary transmission gear to rotate in the positive direction, and the rotary transmission gear drives the engaged movable clamping assembly on the other side to move downward, so that the lower end of the movable clamping assembly is pressed down and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to achieve For stable clamping of the steel plate, after completing the clamping action, the clamping locking assembly is inserted into the clamping transmission assembly to lock the relative position between the clamping transmission assembly and the handle mechanism, thereby fixing the clamping state of the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism. This application combines rotary gear transmission, rack-guided clamping and mechanical self-locking structure, and can achieve clamping, positioning and safe locking of the steel plate through simple manual operation, which not only improves the smoothness of the clamping response, the continuity of the operation process, and the reliability of the clamping force, but also adapts to a variety of plate sizes and improves safety.

[0034] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0035] When the operator holds the handle mechanism and pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward, the clamping transmission assembly moves up in the vertical direction under the guidance of the handle mechanism, and the clamping transmission assembly drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate. The rotating transmission gear drives the movable clamping assembly to move downward while rotating, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate inserted between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism. The linkage structure of the present application converts the thrust of the upper end into the clamping action of the lower end, forming a stable mechanical transmission path, realizing the force amplification and direction conversion of the clamping operation. The present application has a compact structure, convenient operation, fast clamping response, and is suitable for steel plates of different specifications, thereby reducing the risk of metal components such as steel plates being easily tilted and slipped during manual handling during the manufacturing process of film tanks, resulting in personal safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing.

The operator presses down the toggle convex edge to rotate the toggle component body around the hinge point of the toggle component body and the handle mechanism, thereby driving the locking convex edge to disengage from the limit adjustment rack, realizing rapid unlocking and resetting of the clamping position. The present application effectively connects the internal locking component with the external operation interface through the mechanical coupling between the locking through hole and the toggle limit component, thereby improving the reliability of the locking action and the convenience of unlocking, and is suitable for working scenarios with high-frequency adjustment operations;

A method for transferring a steel plate, first inserting the side edge of the steel plate into the clamping area between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism in the device body, so that the steel plate is predetermined to be positioned between the upper and lower clamping structures, and then the operator presses the clamping transmission assembly provided in the handle mechanism in a direction away from the lower clamping mechanism, the clamping transmission assembly moves up in the vertical direction, the clamping transmission assembly drives the rotary transmission gear to rotate in the forward direction, and the rotary transmission gear drives the engaged movable clamping assembly on the other side to move downward, thereby pressing the lower end of the movable clamping assembly downward and cooperating with the lower clamping mechanism to achieve For stable clamping of the steel plate, after completing the clamping action, the clamping locking assembly is inserted into the clamping transmission assembly to lock the relative position between the clamping transmission assembly and the handle mechanism, thereby fixing the clamping state of the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This application is described in further detail.

[0045] The present application discloses a steel plate transfer device and method. Figure 1 A steel plate transfer device includes a device body 1, a handle mechanism 2 connected to the upper side of the device body 1, a lower clamping mechanism 3 connected to the lower side of the device body 1, and a clamping locking mechanism 4 inserted into the device body 1;

[0046] The clamping and locking mechanism 4 includes a rotating transmission gear 41 inserted into the device body 1 and rotatably connected to the device body 1, a clamping transmission assembly 42 located on one side of the rotating transmission gear 41 and meshing with the rotating transmission gear 41, a movable clamping assembly 43 located on the other side of the rotating transmission gear 41 and meshing with the rotating transmission gear 41, and a clamping and locking assembly 44 movably inserted into the handle mechanism 2 and plugged into the movable clamping assembly 43;

[0047] The upper end of the clamping transmission assembly 42 is movably inserted into the handle mechanism 2, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate.

[0048] In this application, when the operator holds the handle mechanism 2 and pushes the clamping transmission assembly 42 upward, the clamping transmission assembly 42 moves up in the vertical direction under the guidance of the handle mechanism 2, and the clamping transmission assembly 42 drives the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate. While the rotating transmission gear 41 rotates, it drives the movable clamping assembly 43 to move downward, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate inserted between the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3. The linkage structure of this application converts the thrust of the upper end into the clamping action of the lower end, forming a stable mechanical transmission path, realizing the force amplification and direction conversion of the clamping operation. The application has a compact structure, convenient operation, fast clamping response, and is suitable for steel plates of different specifications. It reduces the risk of metal components such as steel plates being easily tilted and slipped during manual transportation during the manufacturing process of film tanks, resulting in personal safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing.

[0049] When clamping the channel steel of the slotted steel plate, the lower clamping mechanism 3 is inserted into the slot structure of the slotted steel plate from the end of the slotted steel plate, and the end side of the slotted steel plate is inserted between the movable clamping component 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3; when the rotating transmission gear 41 drives the movable clamping component 43 to move downward, the lower end of the movable clamping component 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the end of the slotted steel plate.

[0050] And when the operator pulls up the clamping transmission component 42, the push-pull action is converted into a downward pressing action of the movable clamping component 43 by rotating the transmission gear 41, so that the movable clamping component 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3 form a clamping fit on the steel plate, and cooperate with the clamping locking component 44 to provide reverse support under the action of the steel plate's own weight, which can further improve the stability of the clamping structure and prevent the clamping components from slipping due to the weight of the steel plate; multiple steel plate transfer devices are used in combination to perform smooth transfer operations on steel plates or insulation modules.

[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the handle mechanism 2 is provided with a clamping guide slot 21 which is open in the direction facing the device body 1; the clamping transmission assembly 42 includes a gripping clamping component 421 which is movably inserted into the clamping guide slot 21, and a clamping drive rack 422 which is connected to the gripping clamping component 421 and movably inserted into the device body 1, and the clamping drive rack 422 is engaged with the rotating transmission gear 41.

[0052] The clamping guide slot 21 of the present application is used to limit the movement path of the clamping transmission assembly 42. When the operator pushes the gripping clamping component 421 upward along the clamping guide slot 21, the clamping drive rack 422 moves upward synchronously, driving the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the forward direction. The rotating transmission gear 41 then drives the movable clamping assembly 43 to move downward to realize the clamping action of the steel plate. The present application ensures the linear and stable transmission of the clamping action through the clamping guide slot 21 to avoid shaking or offset of the clamping transmission assembly 42, and utilizes the meshing relationship between the clamping drive rack 422 and the rotating transmission gear 41 to realize the mechanical force conversion between manual operation and clamping action. The present application has precise transmission, stable clamping, smooth operation and compact structure.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the handle mechanism 2 is provided with a handle through hole 22 communicating with the clamping guide slot 21 , and the gripping clamping component 421 is provided with a gripping through hole 423 correspondingly communicating with the handle through hole 22 .

[0054] The corresponding settings of the handle through hole 22 and the gripping through hole 423 of the present application are used for the operator's palm to be inserted to grip the handle mechanism 2 and the gripping clamping component 421; when the operator passes his fingers through the handle through hole 22 and inserts them into the gripping through hole 423, the handle mechanism 2 and the gripping clamping component 421 can be directly gripped. By manually pulling the gripping clamping component 421, the gripping clamping component 421 is caused to move linearly along the clamping guide groove 21, and the clamping drive rack 422 connected to the gripping clamping component 421 is driven to move upward, and the clamping drive rack 422 is engaged with the rotating transmission gear 41, thereby driving the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate to realize clamping linkage. By setting the handle through hole 22 and the gripping through hole 423, the present application enables the operator to accurately control the clamping action in a closed or narrow space, which not only ensures the safety and convenience of operation, but also improves the stability and response efficiency of the clamping action.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the clamping locking mechanism 4 also includes a pressing reset component 45 inserted in the clamping guide groove 21. The pressing reset component 45 is located between the handle mechanism 2 and the gripping clamping component 421. The pressing reset component 45 is used to press the gripping clamping component 421 and keep the clamping transmission component 42 moving in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism 3.

[0056] The top-pressing reset component 45 of the present application is used to apply continuous reverse top pressure to the gripping clamping component 421 after the operator releases the operating force, so that the clamping transmission component 42 maintains a tendency to move in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism 3. When the operator releases the push on the gripping clamping component 421, the top-pressing reset component 45 automatically returns to its position through the elastic force, thereby driving the clamping drive rack 422 to move downward, causing the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the opposite direction, and thereby causing the movable clamping component 43 to move upward to release the clamping state. The present application does not require an external drive device to achieve automatic reset of the clamping mechanism, ensuring that the device can be restored to its initial waiting state after each use, preventing the clamping component from remaining in the clamping position and affecting subsequent use, thereby improving operational continuity and operational safety.

[0057] The top pressure reset component 45 is preferably a spring.

[0058] More specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the movable clamping assembly 43 includes a clamping and pressing rack 431 movably inserted inside the device body 1, and an upper clamping plate 432 connected to the lower end of the clamping and pressing rack 431. The upper clamping plate 432 corresponds to the lower clamping mechanism 3 for clamping the steel plate.

[0059] In this application, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly 42 upward through the handle mechanism 2, the gripping clamping component 421 drives the clamping drive rack 422 to move upward, causing the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the positive direction and drive the clamping pressing rack 431 to move downward, so that the upper clamping plate 432 moves downward synchronously and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate. In this application, the rotating transmission gear 41 is used as an intermediate transmission component to convert the linear motion of the clamping transmission assembly 42 into the linked pressing of the clamping pressing rack 431, thereby realizing the vertical clamping action of the steel plate and ensuring that the clamping force is evenly distributed along the thickness direction of the steel plate to avoid bias or clamping deviation, thereby improving the clamping efficiency, structural response speed and controllability of the clamping force, and is suitable for stable transportation and positioning of different steel plates.

[0060] In addition, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping support rod assembly 31 connected to the bottom of the device body 1, and a lower clamping plate 32 connected to the lower end of the clamping support rod assembly 31 and correspondingly matched with the upper clamping plate 432; the clamping support rod assembly 31 is movably inserted on the upper clamping plate 432, and the upper clamping plate 432 is located above the lower clamping plate 32, and the upper clamping plate 432 and the lower clamping plate 32 correspond to each other for clamping the steel plate.

[0061] When the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly 42 to move upward, driving the clamping drive rack 422 to move upward, and moves the clamping pressure rack 431 downward by rotating the transmission gear 41, the clamping pressure rack 431 drives the upper clamping plate 432 to move downward, and forms a clamping fit with the lower clamping plate 32, clamping the steel plate between the upper clamping plate 432 and the lower clamping plate 32. The clamping support rod assembly 31 plays a role of limiting, guiding and anti-deformation support during the clamping process, ensuring that the upper clamping plate 432 maintains a stable clamping path and clamping angle under stress, avoiding offset or crooked clamping. The structure of the present application completes the effective clamping of the steel plate through the opposite actions of the upper and lower clamping plates, which not only has uniform clamping force distribution and compact structure, but also has high operational stability.

[0062] And, as Figure 2 As shown, the device body 1 is provided with a driving rack slot 11 for the movable insertion of the clamping driving rack 422, and a pressing rack slot 12 for the movable insertion of the clamping pressing rack 431, and the rotating transmission gear 41 is located between the driving rack slot 11 and the pressing rack slot 12.

[0063] In this application, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly 42 upward, the clamping driving rack 422 moves upward along the driving rack slot 11, and the rotating transmission gear 41 drives the clamping pressing rack 431 to move downward along the pressing rack slot 12, thereby realizing the clamping action. In this application, the movement path of the clamping driving rack 422 is limited by the driving rack slot 11, and the movement path of the clamping pressing rack 431 is limited by the pressing rack slot 12, ensuring that the clamping driving rack 422 and the clamping pressing rack 431 move smoothly in a straight line in the device body 1. At the same time, the rotating transmission gear 41 is set between the driving rack slot 11 and the pressing rack slot 12 to form an upper and lower bidirectional meshing transmission mechanism, which not only improves the symmetry of the transmission and the torque transmission efficiency, but also effectively reduces the risk of structural interference and rack jamming.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the gripping and clamping component 421 is provided with a limit adjustment rack 424 arranged along the length direction of the clamping drive rack 422;

[0065] The clamping locking assembly 44 includes a toggle limit component 441 movably inserted in the device body 1 and hinged to the device body 1, and a locking elastic reset component 442 inserted in the device body 1 and used to press the toggle limit component 441. The locking elastic reset component 442 is used to press the toggle limit component 441 so that the end of the toggle limit component 441 maintains a tendency to move along the direction of the insertion limit adjustment rack 424.

[0066] The limit adjustment rack 424 of the present application is used to form a plurality of pluggable positioning tooth positions. During the clamping operation, when the operator pushes the gripping clamping component 421 to drive the clamping drive rack 422 to move axially to the target clamping position, the locking elastic reset member 442 presses the toggle limit component 441, so that the end of the toggle limit component 441 is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack 424 to achieve positioning locking, thereby limiting the rebound or loosening of the gripping clamping component 421, ensuring that the clamping state is stably maintained. The present application provides multi-level locking positions through the limit adjustment rack 424, and combines the hinged action of the toggle limit component 441 to achieve precise positioning and manual release control, thereby improving the adjustability and anti-loosening ability of the clamping position, so as to be suitable for steel plates of different thicknesses.

[0067] The locking elastic return member 442 is preferably a spring.

[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the handle mechanism 2 is provided with a locking through hole 23, a toggle opening 24 provided on the upper side of the handle mechanism 2 and located at one end of the locking through hole 23, and a locking opening 25 provided in a direction facing the gripping clamping component 421 and located at the other end of the locking through hole 23. The locking opening 25 is communicated with the clamping guide slot 21.

[0069] The toggle limit component 441 includes a toggle member body 4411 inserted into the locking through hole 23 and hinged to the handle mechanism 2, a toggle protrusion 4412 connected to the upper end of the toggle member body 4411 and extending from the toggle opening 24, and a locking protrusion 4413 connected to the lower end of the toggle member body 4411 and extending from the locking opening 25. The locking protrusion 4413 is used to be plugged into and cooperated with the limit adjustment rack 424.

[0070] In this application, when the clamping action is completed and the clamping part 421 is held to drive the clamping drive rack 422 to move to the target position, the locking elastic reset part 442 pushes the toggle part body 4411, so that the locking protrusion 4413 is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack 424 to complete the position locking. The operator presses down the toggle protrusion 4412 to rotate the toggle part body 4411 around the hinge point between the toggle part body 4411 and the handle mechanism 2, thereby driving the locking protrusion 4413 to disengage from the limit adjustment rack 424, thereby realizing rapid unlocking and resetting of the clamping position. This application effectively connects the internal locking part with the external operating interface through the mechanical coupling of the locking through hole 23 and the toggle limit part 441, thereby improving the reliability of the locking action and the convenience of unlocking, and is suitable for working scenarios with high-frequency adjustment operations.

[0071] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the present application also discloses a steel plate transfer method, including a steel plate transfer device, and further comprising the following steps:

[0072] S1: Insert the side edge of the steel plate between the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3;

[0073] S2: Press the clamping transmission assembly 42 in a direction away from the lower clamping mechanism 3;

[0074] S3: The clamping transmission assembly 42 moves upward and drives the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the forward direction;

[0075] S4: The rotating transmission gear 41 rotates and drives the movable clamping assembly 43 to move downward. The lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate;

[0076] S5: Insert the clamping locking assembly 44 into the clamping transmission assembly 42 to limit the relative movement between the clamping transmission assembly 42 and the handle mechanism 2, and lock the positions of the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3.

[0077] In this application, the side edge of the steel plate is first inserted into the clamping area between the movable clamping component 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3 located in the device body 1, so that the steel plate is predetermined to be located between the upper and lower clamping structures. Then, the operator presses the clamping transmission component 42 set in the handle mechanism 2 in the direction away from the lower clamping mechanism 3, and the clamping transmission component 42 moves up in the vertical direction. The clamping transmission component 42 drives the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the forward direction, and the rotating transmission gear 41 drives the movable clamping component 43 engaged on the other side to move downward, so that the lower end of the movable clamping component 43 is pressed down and engaged with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to form a solid body. Now, for the stable clamping of the steel plate, after completing the clamping action, the clamping locking assembly 44 is inserted into the clamping transmission assembly 42 to lock the relative position between the clamping transmission assembly 42 and the handle mechanism 2, thereby fixing the clamping state of the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3. This application combines the rotary gear transmission, rack-guided clamping and mechanical self-locking structure, and can achieve the clamping, positioning and safe locking of the steel plate through simple manual operation, which not only improves the smoothness of the clamping response, the continuity of the operation process, and the reliability of the clamping force, but also adapts to a variety of plate sizes and improves safety.

[0078] The implementation principle of a steel plate transfer device and method in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0079] A steel plate transferring device, when the operator holds the handle mechanism 2 and pushes the clamping transmission assembly 42 upward, the clamping transmission assembly 42 moves up in the vertical direction under the guidance of the handle mechanism 2, and the clamping transmission assembly 42 drives the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate. While the rotating transmission gear 41 rotates, it drives the movable clamping assembly 43 to move downward, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate inserted between the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3. The linkage structure of the present application converts the thrust of the upper end into the clamping action of the lower end, forming a stable mechanical transmission path, realizing the force amplification and direction conversion of the clamping operation. The present application has a compact structure, convenient operation, fast clamping response, and is suitable for steel plates of different specifications, reducing the risk of metal components such as steel plates being easily tilted and slipped during manual handling during the manufacturing process of film tanks, resulting in personal safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing.

[0080] When the user presses down on the toggle cam 4412, the toggle body 4411 rotates around the hinge point between the toggle body 4411 and the handle mechanism 2, thereby driving the locking cam 4413 to disengage the limit adjustment rack 424, thereby achieving rapid unlocking and resetting of the clamping position. The present application effectively connects the internal locking component with the external operating interface by mechanically coupling the locking through hole 23 and the toggle limit component 441, thereby improving the reliability of the locking action and the convenience of unlocking, and is suitable for working scenarios with high-frequency adjustment operations.

[0081] A method for transferring a steel plate, first inserting the side edge of the steel plate into the clamping area between the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3 in the device body 1, so that the steel plate is predetermined to be located between the upper and lower clamping structures, and then the operator presses the clamping transmission assembly 42 provided in the handle mechanism 2 in a direction away from the lower clamping mechanism 3, and the clamping transmission assembly 42 moves up in the vertical direction, and the clamping transmission assembly 42 drives the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the forward direction, and the rotating transmission gear 41 drives the movable clamping assembly 43 engaged on the other side to move downward, so that the lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 is pressed down and clamped in the lower clamping mechanism 3 In order to achieve stable clamping of the steel plate, after completing the clamping action, the clamping locking assembly 44 is inserted into the clamping transmission assembly 42 to lock the relative position between the clamping transmission assembly 42 and the handle mechanism 2, thereby fixing the clamping state of the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3. This application combines rotary gear transmission, rack-guided clamping and mechanical self-locking structure, and can achieve clamping, positioning and safe locking of the steel plate through simple manual operation, which not only improves the smoothness of the clamping response, the continuity of the operating process, and the reliability of the clamping force, but also adapts to a variety of plate sizes and improves safety.

[0082] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
