DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this technical solution more clear, the following technical solution is further described in detail in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of this technical solution.

[0023] In order to solve the problem of inconvenient use of the material transfer trolley in the prior art, this embodiment proposes a liftable material transfer trolley.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, the main body of the liftable material transfer trolley is a trolley frame 1, which is a frame-like structure composed of square tube structures. Casters 2 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the trolley frame 1. These casters 2 are wheel sets with foot-operated locking mechanisms. Guide rollers 5 are mounted on the front crossbeam below the trolley frame 1. These guide rollers 5 are used to dock with external devices to align the entire material transfer trolley with the external devices. A base plate 3 is located in the middle of the height direction of the trolley frame 1, serving as a mounting platform for several internal components. Four linear bearings B12 are mounted on the base plate 3. Guide rods 27 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base lift assembly 4. The four guide rods 27 are mounted in the four linear bearings B12 to guide the lift assembly 4 vertically. A trolley handle 23 is provided at the rear of the upper portion of the trolley frame 1. The handle 23 is used by the user to push and pull the handle to move the entire material transfer trolley.

[0025] Linear bearing mounting plates 6 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the lower part of the trolley frame 1, and linear bearings A9 are provided on the surfaces on the opposite sides of the two linear bearing mounting plates 6. The guiding direction of the linear bearing A9 is vertical. A foot rod assembly 7 is provided at the rear of the lower part of the lower frame, and the two ends of the foot rod assembly 7 are respectively installed in two linear bearings A9. The linear bearings A9 are used to limit and guide the foot rod assembly 7 to only be able to rise and fall vertically.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a pulley assembly A8 is installed on the left and right sides of the pedal rod assembly 7. Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, two pulley assemblies D25 are further provided on the lower surface of the base plate 3, and two pulley assemblies C24 are further provided on the upper surface of the base plate 3. Furthermore, two sets of pulley assemblies B13 are provided below the base plate 3. There are two pulley assemblies A8, B13, C24, and D25, respectively. These two sets are divided into two groups, with each set of pulley assemblies A8, B13, C24, and D25 provided on one side of the trolley frame 1.

[0027] Each set of pulley assembly A8, pulley assembly B13, pulley assembly C24, and pulley assembly D25 forms a pulley block. The first end of a steel wire rope 10 is connected to the base plate 3. The steel wire rope 10 then passes through pulley assembly A8, pulley assembly D25, pulley assembly B13, and pulley assembly C24 in sequence, before the other end of the steel wire rope 10 is connected to the lifting assembly 4. Because pulley assembly A8 is fixedly mounted on the footrest assembly 7, when the footrest assembly 7 is lowered, the pulley block and steel wire rope 10 cooperate to drive the lifting assembly 4 upward. This pulley block forms a labor-saving movable pulley block.

[0028] In combination Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, the circulating slot assembly 11 in the present application is provided with a limiting connector and at least two positioning positions. The lifting assembly 4 is connected with the circulating slot assembly 11 through the limiting connector; the trigger device can drive the lifting assembly 4 to lift and drive the limiting connector to controllably circulate in the two positioning positions of the circulating slot assembly 11, so as to change the height of the lifting assembly 4.

[0029] The circulating slot assembly 11 has two and is respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the lifting assembly 4. The circulating slot assembly 11 includes a clamping plate 111 and a swing rod 112. The clamping plate 111 has a circulating slot 1111 opened on one side surface, and the circulating slot 1111 has an upper stop point B and a lower stop point D. The swing rod 112 has two ends as shaft bodies. The shaft body of a first end 1121 of the swing rod is arranged in the circulating slot 1111, and the shaft body of a second end 1122 of the swing rod is rotatably connected with a hole structure on the lifting assembly 4. The shaft body of the first end 1121 of the swing rod is controllably circulated in the upper stop point B and the lower stop point D.

[0030] Specifically, the upper part and the lower part of the circulating slot 1111 are formed as “V”-shaped structures. The upper stop point B and the lower stop point D are located at the turning positions of the “V”-shaped structures. The two side ends of the upper part and the lower part of the circulating slot 1111, which are formed as “V”-shaped structures, are connected through part of the slot of the circulating slot 1111. The lower part of the “V”-shaped structure in the circulating slot 1111 is provided with a guide piece 114 for limiting the one-way connection in the circulating slot 1111. The middle part of the guide piece 114 is rotatably connected with the clamping plate 111. The clamping plate 111 is provided with a groove near the guide piece 114. The first arm of the guide piece 114 is arranged in the circulating slot 1111, and the first arm of the guide piece 114 is arranged in the groove, so as to limit the rotation angle of the guide piece 114. The circulating slot assembly 11 further includes a torsion spring 113. The first force arm of the torsion spring 113 is connected with the lifting assembly 4, and the second force arm of the torsion spring 113 is connected with the upper part of the swing rod 112, so as to drive the swing rod 112 to move in the expected direction.

[0031] When the user steps on the pedal rod assembly 7, the pedal rod assembly 7 drives the lifting assembly 4 to rise through the pulley set and the wire rope 10. At this time, the first end 1121 of the rocker arm 112 moves upward from the lower dead point D in the circulation groove 1111. Due to the limitation of the guide plate 114, the first end 1121 of the rocker arm is limited by the circulation groove 1111 and moves to the first intermediate point A. After the user releases the pedal rod assembly 7, the pedal rod assembly 7 falls. During this process, the torsion spring 113 drives the first end 1121 of the rocker arm to enter the upper dead point B, and drives the first end 1121 of the rocker arm to fall to the upper dead point B. At this time, the first end 1121 of the rocker arm can be maintained at the upper dead point B, and the lifting assembly 4 can also be positioned at a higher position. For example, after the user steps on the pedal rod assembly 7, the pedal rod assembly 7 drives the lifting assembly 4 to rise through the pulley set and the wire rope 10. At this time, the first end 1121 of the swing rod 112 moves up from the top dead center B. Due to the action of the torsion spring 113, the first end 1121 of the swing rod can only move to the right side of the circulation groove 1111 and move to the second intermediate point C. After the user releases the pedal rod assembly 7, the first end 1121 of the swing rod moves down from the second intermediate point C to the bottom dead center D. During this process, the first end 1121 of the swing rod can pass over the guide piece 114. This reciprocating process can achieve the effect that one working cycle only requires the trigger device to be triggered twice.

[0032] In this embodiment, a pulley system is used for transmission. In some feasible embodiments, similar methods such as connecting rods, synchronous belts, gear racks, etc. can be used to connect the pedal assembly 7 and the lifting assembly 4 to achieve the same effect.

[0033] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the top of the lifting assembly 4 is a hopper 14, and a push handle 20 is provided on the top of the hopper 14 for pushing and pulling the hopper 14. The hopper 14 is connected to the main body of the lifting assembly 4 through a sliding guide. Transition piece assemblies 16 are provided on both sides of the front of the sliding direction of the hopper 14 for connecting the hopper 14 to an external device.

[0034] When the hopper 14 is at its lowest point (initial state), the material cart is manually pushed to dock with the lower material collection point. During docking, the guide roller 5 is aligned with the positioning groove of the material collection point. After the guide roller 5 is in place, the brake on the caster 2 is pressed with the foot. At this time, the material cart is docked. During the process of the guide roller 5 being in place, the transition piece assembly 16 will contact the block of the material collection point (not shown in the figure). After the material cart is in place, the transition piece assembly 16 is just unfolded, and the pushing handle 20 is used to transfer the material from the loading point to the hopper 14. After the material is loaded, the brake on the caster 2 is unlocked with the foot, and the material cart is removed. The transition piece assembly 16 is retracted by the action of the tension spring, and the cart is manually pushed to the vicinity of the higher discharge point. The above device can achieve semi-automatic docking between the hopper 14 and the external device, which is very convenient to use.

[0035] In addition, the hopper 14 is connected with the lifting assembly 4 through a hinged structure, so that the hopper 14 has the ability to swing back and forth, that is, to achieve angular adjustment within a certain range. A hopper reset spring 19 and an adjusting bolt 26 are arranged at the rear of the lifting assembly 4. The hopper reset spring 19 always provides a downward pulling force, so that the state of the hopper 14 remains stable when the angle changes. When the lifting assembly is at the lowest point, the hopper pull rods 17 and 18 are in a relaxed state, and the bottom of the hopper 14 is in contact with the top of the adjusting bolt 26 under the pulling force of the hopper reset spring 19. By screwing the adjusting bolt 26, the length of the adjusting bolt 26 can be changed, thereby changing the angle of the hopper 14.

[0036] The hopper pull rods A 17 and B 18 are arranged at the front below the hopper 14. Specifically, the top surface of the base plate 3 is provided with a bracket at the front, and the bracket is provided with a hopper angle adjusting screw 15. One end of the hopper pull rods A 17 and B 18 is hingedly connected to form a connecting body, the second end of the hopper pull rod A 17 is hingedly connected to the lower part of the hopper 14, and the second end of the hopper pull rod B 18 is hingedly connected to the bracket. The hopper angle adjusting screw 15 can adjust the maximum included angle that can be formed between the hopper pull rod B 18 and the base plate 3, thereby adjusting the maximum extendable angle of the hopper pull rods A 17 and B 18 as a whole, for adjusting the angle of the hopper 14 when it is lifted to the highest point.

[0037] In addition, a stroke limiting column 21 is arranged below the lifting assembly 4, and an oil buffer 22 is arranged on the top surface of the base plate 3. The stroke limiting column 21 and the oil buffer 22 cooperate to limit the maximum lifting distance of the lifting assembly 4, and reduce vibration and noise through the oil buffer 22.

[0038] The material transfer trolley greatly simplifies the operation process of the material trolley through the ingenious structure of the circulating clamping groove assembly 11, which only needs to be triggered twice by the triggering device in one working cycle. The device is suitable for transporting small-size scattered materials between two locations with height difference.

[0039] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more; the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. At the same time, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present technical content. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
