Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-material transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic equipment is the core equipment that converts solar energy into electrical energy. It is commonly used in technologies such as large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants and distributed photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] In mountain photovoltaic construction operations, it is usually necessary to transport various materials such as photovoltaic modules, brackets, and cables; however, the capacity of traditional transportation equipment is fixed, making it difficult to adjust according to the size and specifications of different materials, resulting in poor material loading and affecting applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a multi-material transport device that can adjust the carrying space according to different material specifications, thereby improving applicability.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a multi-material transportation device, comprising: a carrying compartment, a conveying component, a switching component, and a restraining component; The carrying compartment includes a first compartment and a second compartment that is slidably fitted inside it, with the interiors of each compartment connected for placing materials; Each carriage has a rotatable adjustable panel on its corresponding side; The conveying component includes conveying units respectively disposed under each carriage, and the second carriage is rotatably connected to the corresponding conveying unit; The switching component includes an adjustment disc rotatably mounted on the first carriage and a connecting pin mounted in the second carriage. The connecting pin is detachably connected to the adjusting plate, which is used to guide the first carriage to rotate; The constraint component is installed on the first carriage, and one end of it is detachably connected to the adjustment disc to constrain the rotation of the adjustment disc.

[0006] Furthermore, the first carriage has a non-circular through hole, and the adjustment plate has a positioning groove corresponding to the through hole; The constraint component includes a first pin and a first elastic unit; The first pin is vertically slidably inserted into the through hole and corresponds to the positioning groove, which is used to constrain the rotation of the adjusting disc; The first elastic unit is disposed between the first latch and the first carriage, and is used to apply a vertically upward elastic force to the first latch.

[0007] Furthermore, the restraint components also include a first connecting frame disposed on the first carriage and a second connecting frame disposed on the second carriage; The first connecting frame has a constraint hole; The second connecting frame is vertically slidably inserted with a second pin corresponding to the constraint hole, which is used to constrain the movement of the second carriage. A second elastic unit is also provided between the second latch and the second carriage to apply a vertically upward elastic force to the second latch.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple limiting holes are evenly distributed on one side of the second carriage; The first carriage is slidably provided with a limiting plate corresponding to each of the limiting holes, which is used to constrain the movement of the second carriage; One end of the limiting plate is threadedly connected to the first carriage.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustable panels of each carriage can be detachably connected; The second carriage is detachably slidably fitted with a limiting rod, which is detachably inserted into each of the adjusting panels, with its corresponding end threadedly connected to the second carriage to constrain the rotation of each of the adjusting panels.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the adjustable panels is composed of a load-bearing section and a support section that are rotatably connected to the corresponding carriage. Each support section is used to support the corresponding load-bearing section and to position the two load-bearing sections at the same height.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned adjusting panels is rotatably equipped with a baffle to prevent materials from falling out of the carriage.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned conveying units is a tracked conveyor vehicle.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by controlling the distance between the two conveying units to drive the two carriages to move relative to each other along the length of the carriages, the overall length between the two carriages is adjusted.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-11 The present invention discloses a multi-material transportation device, comprising: a carrying box 1, a conveying component, a switching component 3, and a restraining component 4; The carrying compartment 1 includes a first compartment 11 and a second compartment 12 that is slidably fitted inside it. The interiors of each compartment are connected and used to place materials. Each carriage has an adjustable panel 5 rotatably mounted on its long side, and the second carriage 12 has an unloading plate 121 rotatably mounted on the end away from the first carriage 11. The conveying component includes conveying units 2 respectively disposed under each carriage, and the second carriage 12 is rotatably connected to the corresponding conveying unit 2; The switching component 3 includes an adjustment plate 31 rotatably mounted on the first carriage 11 and a connecting pin 32 mounted on the second carriage 12; The connecting pin 32 is detachably connected to the adjusting plate 31; The regulating disc 31 is used to guide the second carriage 12 to rotate around the center of the regulating disc 31 and change the connection posture of the two carriages. The restraint component 4 is installed on the first carriage 11, and one end of it is detachably connected to the adjustment plate 31 to restrain the rotation of the adjustment plate 31.

[0018] In practice, when loading materials, the staff can simply open the unloading plate 121 of the second carriage 12 to transfer the materials to each carriage. When materials with length requirements need to be loaded, the corresponding conveying unit 2 can move the second carriage 12 closer to or further away from the first carriage 11 to adjust the overall length between the two carriages to accommodate materials of different lengths. When materials requiring a certain width need to be loaded, the corresponding conveying unit 2 drives the second carriage 12 to separate from the first carriage 11. At this time, the second carriage 12 drives the connecting pin 32 to move and connect it with the adjusting plate 31. Then, the corresponding conveying unit 2 drives the second carriage 12 to rotate around the axis of the adjusting plate 31 until the adjusting plates 5 of the two carriages are connected to each other. At this time, the two carriages are spliced ​​along the width direction of the carriage. Then, the staff rotates each adjusting plate 5 until each adjusting plate 5 is stored in the corresponding carriage. At this time, the two carriages are connected to each other, and the overall loading width of the carriages increases to accommodate materials of different widths.

[0019] This invention controls the distance between two conveying units 2 to move two carriages relative to each other along the length of the carriages, thereby adjusting the overall length between the two carriages. Correspondingly, the conveying unit 2 drives the second carriage 12 to separate from the first carriage 11, and the two carriages are spliced ​​together along the width direction by the guide of the adjusting plate 31, thereby adjusting the overall width between the two carriages, thus adapting to materials of different specifications and sizes and improving applicability.

[0020] It should be noted that each carriage is a flatbed carriage, which can accommodate materials of different heights, and each carriage can be equipped with a tarpaulin to cope with rain and snow.

[0021] In one embodiment, the first carriage 11 has a non-circular through hole, and the adjusting plate 31 has a positioning groove corresponding to the through hole. When the two carriages are spliced ​​together along the width direction, the through hole and the positioning groove are coaxially corresponding and connected. The constraint component 4 includes a first pin 41 that is vertically slidably inserted into the through hole and corresponds to the positioning groove. The insertion end of the first pin 41 is detachably inserted into the through hole to constrain the rotation of the adjustment disk 31. A first elastic unit 42 is provided between the first pin 41 and the first carriage 11 to apply a vertically upward elastic force to the first pin 41.

[0022] With this design, when the two carriages are spliced ​​together along the width direction, the positioning groove on the adjustment plate 31 overlaps and connects with the through hole on the first carriage 11. At this time, the first elastic unit 42 loses its constraint and drives the first pin 41 to move vertically upward, so that the first pin 41 is inserted into the positioning groove to constrain the adjustment plate 31 to rotate, thereby constraining the second carriage 12 to rotate, ensuring the connection stability between the two carriages. When the second carriage 12 needs to rotate again, the staff pulls down the first pin 41 to make it exit the positioning groove. Then the second carriage 12 drives the adjusting plate 31 to rotate so that the positioning groove and the through hole are misaligned. Then the first pin 41 can be lowered.

[0023] Preferably, the first elastic unit 42 can be a spring from the prior art.

[0024] In one embodiment, the constraint component 4 further includes a first connecting frame 43 disposed on the first carriage 11, the first connecting frame 43 having a constraint hole and a guide slope. It also includes a second connecting frame 44 disposed on the second carriage 12, wherein a second pin 45 corresponding to the constraint hole is vertically slidably disposed in the second connecting frame 44, and a guide surface corresponding to the guide slope on the first connecting frame 43 is provided on the top of the second pin 45; When the two carriages are joined together along the width direction, the second pin 45 is inserted into the constraint hole; A second elastic unit 46 is provided between the second pin 45 and the second carriage 12 to apply a vertically upward elastic force to the second pin 45.

[0025] With this design, when the second carriage 12 rotates toward the first connecting frame 43, the second pin 45 contacts the guide slope of the first connecting frame 43 and retracts into the second connecting frame 44. At this time, the second elastic unit 46 is compressed until the insertion end of the second pin 45 is coaxially aligned with the constraint hole. At this time, the second elastic unit 46 loses its constraint and drives the second pin 45 to move vertically upward to be inserted into the first connecting frame 43. The second pin 45 cooperates with the first pin 41 to further improve the connection stability between the two carriages. When the second carriage 12 needs to rotate again, the staff can pull down the second latch 45 to remove it from the first connecting frame 43.

[0026] Preferably, the second elastic unit 46 can be a spring from the prior art.

[0027] In one embodiment, a plurality of limiting holes are evenly distributed on one side of the second carriage 12; The first carriage 11 is slidably provided with a limiting plate 6, which is provided with a limiting rod 61 corresponding to each limiting hole. When each limiting rod 61 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole, each limiting rod 61 is used to constrain the movement of the second carriage 12. One end of the limiting plate 6 is threadedly connected to the first carriage 11.

[0028] With this design, when the overall length of the carriage needs to be adjusted, the staff disconnects the limiting plate 6 from the first carriage 11 and pulls the limiting plate 6 away from the center of the carriage until each limiting rod 61 exits its corresponding limiting hole. Then, the corresponding power unit drives the second carriage 12 to move relative to the first carriage 11. When the second carriage 12 moves to the predetermined position, each limiting rod 61 aligns with its corresponding limiting hole. The staff then pushes the limiting plate 6 to insert each limiting rod 61 into its corresponding limiting hole and reconnects the limiting plate 6 to the first carriage 11 via a threaded connection. This prevents the second carriage 12 from moving accidentally and improves the connection stability between the two carriages.

[0029] In one embodiment, the adjustable panels 5 of each carriage can be detachably connected; The second carriage 12 is detachably slidably fitted with a constraint rod 122, and the insertion end of the constraint rod 122 is detachably inserted into each adjusting panel 5 to constrain the rotation of each adjusting panel 5. The corresponding end of the constraint rod 122 is threadedly connected to the second carriage 12.

[0030] With this design, when materials with length requirements need to be loaded, the workers insert the constraint rods 122 into each adjusting panel 5, and then thread each constraint rod 122 onto the corresponding car body, thereby constraining the rotation of the adjusting panel 5 and ensuring the stability of the car body. When it is necessary to rotate each adjusting panel 5 downwards, the operator separates the restraint rod 122 from each adjusting panel 5 until it is pulled out of the second compartment 12.

[0031] In one embodiment, each adjustable panel 5 is composed of a bearing section 51 rotatably connected to the corresponding carriage and a support section 52 disposed on the bearing section 51. When each bearing section 51 rotates into the corresponding carriage, each support section 52 is used to support the corresponding bearing section 51 and to place the two bearing sections 51 at the same height. The first carriage 11 has multiple constraint slots on the support section 52 corresponding to each limit rod 61. Each limit rod 61 can be separably inserted into the corresponding constraint slot to constrain the rotation of the corresponding adjustment panel 5. The second carriage 12 has a slot 53 on the support section 52 corresponding to the adjustment panel 5, and a limiting block 54 corresponding to the slot 53 is slidably inserted into the second carriage 12. The second carriage 12 is also provided with a guide surface on the corresponding support section 52. When the support section 52 on the corresponding adjustment panel 5 comes into contact with the limiting block 54, the guide surface on the support section 52 comes into contact with the limiting block 54 and applies a thrust to it in a direction away from the center of the second carriage 12. When the limit block 54 is inserted into the slot 53, it is used to constrain the rotation of the corresponding adjustment panel 5; A third elastic unit 55 is provided between the second carriage 12 and the limiting block 54, which is used to apply an elastic force to the limiting block 54 in the direction closer to the center of the two carriages.

[0032] With this design, when the corresponding adjustment panel 5 on the first carriage 11 is rotated downwards to a flat position, the staff pushes the limit plate 6 until each limit rod 61 is inserted into the corresponding constraint groove, and then the limit plate 6 is bolted to the first carriage 11, thereby constraining the rotation of the corresponding adjustment panel 5 on the first carriage 11. When the corresponding adjusting panel 5 on the second carriage 12 rotates downward, the guide surface of its support section 52 contacts the limiting block 54 and applies a thrust to it in a direction away from the center of the second carriage 12. At this time, the third elastic unit 55 is compressed. As the corresponding adjusting panel 5 continues to rotate, until the slot 53 on its support section 52 corresponds to the limiting block 54, the third elastic unit 55 loses its constraint and the limiting block 54 is inserted into the slot 53 to constrain the rotation of the corresponding adjusting panel 5 on the second carriage 12. When it is necessary to release the constraints of each adjustment panel 5 in a flat position, the operator releases the constraint of the limit plate 6 and separates each limit rod 61 from the corresponding constraint groove, and at the same time pulls the limit block 54 to make it exit the slot 53.

[0033] It should be noted that the third elastic element 55 can be a spring from the prior art.

[0034] It should be noted that the limiting block 54 has a handle groove to facilitate the operation of the limiting block 54 by the staff.

[0035] In one embodiment, each adjusting panel 5 is rotatably provided with a baffle 7, and each baffle 7 is bolted to the corresponding carriage. When each of the 7 side panels is erected, it is used to close the corresponding car opening to prevent materials from falling out of the car.

[0036] With this design, when each adjusting panel 5 is laid flat in the corresponding compartment, the staff removes the bolts between each side panel 7 and the corresponding adjusting panel 5, then rotates each side panel 7 and stands it up. At this time, the openings of each compartment are closed, thus preventing materials from accidentally falling out of the compartment during transportation.

[0037] It should be noted that when each guardrail 7 is erected, its corresponding end is connected to the corresponding car body pin, thereby ensuring the stability of the erected posture of each guardrail 7. The pin connection method between the guardrail 7 and the car body is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0038] It should be noted that when each panel 7 is erected, the gap between adjacent panels 7 and the gap between each panel 7 and the corresponding carriage are much smaller than the size of the material, so that the internal material will not fall out of the carriage accidentally.

[0039] It should be noted that when each baffle 7 is erected, the height difference on the surface of the adjusting panel 5 will not affect the placement of materials.

[0040] In one embodiment, each conveying unit 2 is a tracked conveyor vehicle.

[0041] This design allows tracked transport vehicles to be better adapted to mountainous environments such as muddy roads and rugged terrain compared to traditional wheeled transport units.

[0042] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0043] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0044] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
