Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a handling device and a rotating object device thereof, and more particularly to a handling device and a rotating object device thereof designed to allow objects to be rotated to a horizontal or vertical position on a support base. Background Technology
[0002] Generally, when moving large objects with long and short axes (such as large display screens), the object is first detachably mounted on a handling device with support rods (e.g., secured to the support rods with screws), and then the handling device is pushed to move the object to its destination. However, if a large object needs to be rotated to an upright position to pass through a narrow, long doorway (such as an elevator doorway) during the handling process, the object often becomes difficult to rotate. This results in a time-consuming and labor-intensive handling process, and is also prone to accidents such as collision damage to the object or personal injury due to improper operation during the rotation of the large object. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a handling device and a rotating object device with an operating member that is operably pivotable and slidable relative to a support rod so that an object can be pivoted to a horizontal or vertical position as the operating member moves on the support member, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] According to one embodiment, this application proposes a handling device suitable for handling an object having a long axis and a short axis. The handling device includes: a movable base; a support rod extending upward from the movable base and having a longitudinal groove; a connecting plate connected to the object; a pivot member disposed in the longitudinal groove and connected to the connecting plate, such that the connecting plate pivots between a first position and a second position with the pivot member; an operating member connected to the pivot member, with a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion formed at both ends of the operating member; and a support base member disposed on one side of the support rod and having a lower groove portion and an upper convex guide rail portion, the upper convex guide rail portion being connected to the lower groove portion; wherein, when the first abutment portion pivots upward relative to the longitudinal groove via the pivot member and moves to pivot the connecting plate to the second position, the second abutment portion slides along the upper convex guide rail portion into the lower groove portion.
[0005] Preferably, the first position is a horizontal position and the second position is an upright position; wherein the operating member is operable to move in tandem with the pivot member, and the pivot member moves in tandem with the connecting plate, such that the connecting plate can pivot to the horizontal position so that the short axis of the object is parallel to the longitudinal groove, or pivot to the upright position so that the long axis of the object is parallel to the longitudinal groove.
[0006] Preferably, the first position is a horizontal position and the second position is an upright position; wherein the support base has a first support end and a second support end, the upper convex guide rail is connected to the second support end, the lower groove is connected to the first support end, the first support end and the second support end respectively support the first abutment and the second abutment when the connecting plate is in the horizontal position, the lower groove is formed by a horizontal downward recess from the first support end, and the upper convex guide rail is formed by a horizontal upward recess from the second support end, such that when the second abutment slides along the upper convex guide rail to the top of the upper convex guide rail, the height of the object closest to the corner of the movable base is greater than the height of the movable base.
[0007] Preferably, the first support portion is bent to form a handle; and / or, the second support portion is a sliding wheel, so that as the first support portion pivots and moves, it slides along the upper convex guide portion to abut against the lower groove portion or against the second support end portion.
[0008] Preferably, the support rod has a plurality of segmented slot structures, and the support base extends toward the support rod to form at least one protrusion, which is secured to one of the plurality of segmented slot structures by screws to fix the mounting height of the support base relative to the movable base.
[0009] Preferably, the height of the setting is greater than one-quarter of the length of the object along the major axis.
[0010] Preferably, the pivot member includes: a slider slidably disposed in the longitudinal groove; and a pivot structure pivotally passing through the slider to be fixed to the connecting plate.
[0011] Preferably, when the second abutment abuts against the lower groove, the object rests on the movable base or is suspended above the movable base; and / or, when the second abutment abuts against the lower groove, the extension direction of the second abutment to the pivot is substantially parallel to the longitudinal groove.
[0012] Preferably, the movable base includes: a base body; and a plurality of casters disposed under the base body.
[0013] According to another embodiment, this application also proposes a rotatable object device, which includes: an object having a long axis and a short axis, and a conveying device for carrying the object. The conveying device includes: a movable base; a support rod extending vertically from the movable base and having a longitudinal groove; a connecting plate detachably connected to the object; a pivot member slidably and rotatably inserted in the longitudinal groove and fixed to the connecting plate, such that the connecting plate can pivot between a horizontal position and an upright position with the pivot member; an operating member fixed to the pivot member, with a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion formed at both ends of the operating member; and a support base member detachably disposed on one side of the support rod and having a first support end, a second support end, a lower groove portion and an upper convex guide rail portion, the upper convex guide rail portion connecting the second support end and the lower groove portion, the lower groove portion connecting the first support end; wherein, when the first abutment portion pivots upward relative to the longitudinal groove via the pivot member and moves to pivot the connecting plate to the upright position, the second abutment portion slides along the upper convex guide rail portion to abut against the lower groove portion.
[0014] In summary, compared to previous technologies that simply detachably mount large objects onto the support rod of the handling device (e.g., by screw fastening), this application employs a design where the operating component can pivot and slide relative to the support rod, allowing the object to pivot to a horizontal or vertical position as the operating component moves on the support base. This allows the user to quickly and effortlessly pivot the object to be handled into a horizontal or vertical position according to the actual handling situation. In this way, this application effectively solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive handling processes and the risk of object collision damage or personal injury due to the difficulty in rotating large objects, thereby greatly improving the operational convenience and handling safety of the handling device during object handling.

[0019] To provide a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a transferable object device 10 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partially enlarged schematic diagram of the conveying device 14, wherein the sliding structure design between the pivot 22 and the support rod 18 is clearly shown. Figure 2 The front cover structure of the support rod 18 is omitted from the drawing. The rotatable object device 10 is suitable for providing a rotating object function during the handling of large objects 12 with a long axis AL and a short axis AS (described in detail in this application using a large-size display screen (such as an 85-inch to 100-inch LCD screen), but not limited thereto), so that the object 12 carried by the handling device 14 can smoothly pass through narrow, long doorways (such as elevator doors) without collision damage or other accidents. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 It is understood that the rotatable object device 10 includes an object 12 and a conveying device 14. The conveying device 14 carries the object 12 and includes a movable base 16, a support rod 18, a connecting plate 20, a pivot member 22, and an operating member 24. The movable base 16 can preferably adopt a roller base design (but is not limited to this, it can also adopt other common movable base designs used for object handling, such as tracked moving platforms, air cushion moving platforms, etc.) for carrying the object to move. For example, the movable base 16 can include a base body 28 and multiple rollers 30. The multiple rollers 30 are arranged under the base body 28 so that the user can apply force to drive the rotatable object device 10 to perform forward, backward, or turning movement operations. The support rod 18 extends vertically from the base body 28 and has a longitudinal groove 32. The connecting plate 20 is detachably connected to the object 12 (e.g., by screw locking or structural fastening). The pivot 22 is slidably and rotatably inserted into the longitudinal groove 32 and fixed to the connecting plate 20, so that the connecting plate 20 connected to the object 12 can move together with the pivot 22 along the longitudinal groove 32 of the support rod 18. More specifically, in this embodiment, the pivot 22 may include a slider 34 and a pivot structure. 36 (but not limited to this, it can also adopt other pivot designs that can slide and rotate at the same time, such as gear / rack meshing action design, etc.), the slider 34 is slidably set in the longitudinal groove 32, and the pivot structure 36 can pivotally pass through the slider 34 to be fixed to the connecting plate 20, so that the connecting plate 20 connected to the object 12 can pivot to the horizontal position or the vertical position with the pivot 22, so that the user can pivot the object 12 to be transported into the horizontal or vertical state according to the actual handling situation.
[0021] Regarding the support design of the operating component 24 and the support base component 26, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the operating member 24 is fixed to the pivot member 22 to operably move in sync with the pivot member 22. The operating member 24 may have a first abutment portion 38 and a second abutment portion 40 formed at its two ends respectively. The support base member 26 is disposed on one side of the support rod 18 and has a first support end 42, a lower groove portion 46, an upper convex guide rail portion 48, and a second support end 44 connected in sequence. The first abutment portion 38 can preferably be bent to form a handle (but is not limited thereto; other abutment designs, such as a convex pillar support design, can also be used) abutting against the first support end 42 for the user to grip and operate. The second abutment portion 40 can preferably be a sliding wheel (but is not limited thereto; other sliding designs, such as a convex pillar sliding design, can also be used) abutting against the second support end 44, so that the sliding of the second abutment portion 40 along the upper convex guide rail portion 48 into the lower groove portion 46 is smoother. Preferably, the support base member 26 is detachably disposed on one side of the support rod 18.
[0022] Furthermore, in practical applications, by Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 It can be seen that the support rod 18 may have multiple segmented slot structures 50, and the support base 26 extends toward the support rod 18 to form at least one protrusion 52 (at... Figure 2 The image shows two protrusions 52 connected to the two sides of the support rod 18 (but not limited to this). The protrusions 52 can be selectively locked to one of the multiple segmented slot structures 50 by screws, so that the user can appropriately adjust the setting height H1 of the fixed support 26 relative to the movable base 16 according to the actual object handling requirements. The setting height H1 is preferably greater than one-quarter of the length L of the object 12 along the long axis AL (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown), this design effectively prevents the object 12 from colliding with and being damaged by the movable base 16 during pivoting relative to the support rod 18. In one embodiment, the support member 26 further extends toward the support rod 18 to form an insert (in... Figure 2 The plate shown is a horizontal sheet adjacent to the tab 52 (in other words, the tab 52 is formed by bending the insert, but not limited to this). The insert is inserted into one set of slots in the multiple segmented slot structure 50 to enhance the structural strength and support of the support member 26.
[0023] The following is a detailed description of the object rotation operation of the rotatable object device 10. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 4 , Figure 3 for Figure 1A perspective view of the rotatable object device 10 when the second support portion 40 slides along the upper convex guide portion 48 to the top end P of the upper convex guide portion 48. Figure 4 for Figure 3 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the rotatable object device 10 when the connecting plate 20 pivots to the upright position along with the pivot member 22.
[0024] Through the above design, the user can apply force to drive the rotatable object device 10 to transport the object 12. At this time, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first support end 42 and the second support end 44 can support the first abutment 38 and the second abutment 40 respectively when the connecting plate 20 is in a horizontal position (preferably with the short axis AS of the object 12 parallel to the longitudinal groove 32, but not limited to this), so that the object 12 can be stably in a horizontal position, so that the user can smoothly transport the object 12 to the destination using the handling device 14. In this process, if it is necessary to turn the object 12 to an upright position to pass through a narrow and long doorway (such as an elevator doorway), the user only needs to hold the first abutment 38 and lift it to pivot the connecting plate 20 to the position. Figure 4 The upright position shown (preferably with the major axis AL of the object 12 parallel to the longitudinal groove 32, but not limited to this). In one embodiment, by means of the pivoting and sliding of the pivot 22, and the sliding of the second support portion 40 along the support base 26, the second support portion 40 from... Figure 1 The support shown is located on the second support end 44 and slides along the upper convex guide rail 48 as shown. Figure 4 The support shown is positioned in the lower recess 46, thereby allowing the object 12 to stand stably upright and pass smoothly through the narrow doorway.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower recess 46 can be formed laterally downward from the first support end 42, and the upper convex guide rail 48 can be formed laterally upward from the second support end 44 (preferably in the shape of an upward convex curve, but not limited to this; other upward convex guide rail structures, such as an upward convex angle design, can also be adopted). Therefore, when the second support portion 40 slides along the upper convex guide rail 48 to the top P of the upper convex guide rail 48, the height H2 of the corner 13 of the object 12 closest to the movable base 16 can preferably be greater than the height H3 of the movable base 16, thereby reliably preventing the object 12 from colliding and being damaged by the movable base 16 during pivoting relative to the support rod 18. In addition, in practical applications, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when the second support portion 40 abuts against the lower recess portion 46, the object 12 can be suspended above the movable base 28 to avoid collision (but not limited to this, the present application can also adopt a design in which the object 12 can rest on the movable base 28, so that the object 12 in the upright state can be more stably supported on the conveying device 14); furthermore, by Figure 4 It is understood that when the second abutment portion 40 abuts against the lower groove portion 46, the extension direction D of the second abutment portion 40 to the pivot member 22 can be substantially parallel to the longitudinal groove 32, thereby reliably preventing the object 12 in an upright state from tilting and becoming unstable due to the shift of the center of gravity. Furthermore, the width of the lower groove portion 46 matches the size of the second abutment portion 40 to form a non-vertical abutment, thereby maintaining the upright state of the object 12. In other embodiments, the lower groove portion 46 has a portion (e.g., a curved surface) that matches the shape of the second abutment portion 40 to maintain the upright state of the object 12.
[0026] In summary, compared to previous technologies that simply detachably mount large objects onto the support rod of the handling device (e.g., by screw fastening), this application employs a design where the operating component can pivot and slide relative to the support rod, allowing the object to pivot to a horizontal or vertical position as the operating component moves on the support base. This allows the user to quickly and effortlessly pivot the object to be handled into a horizontal or vertical position according to the actual handling situation. In this way, this application effectively solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive handling processes and the risk of object collision damage or personal injury due to the difficulty in rotating large objects, thereby greatly improving the operational convenience and handling safety of the handling device during object handling.
