[0037] At present, during the transportation process of air conditioners or cabinets, forklifts are usually required to transport them. Before transportation, in order to reduce the space occupied by the parts to be transported, the parts to be transported usually need to be stacked. During the stacking and transportation process, the outer surface of the parts to be transported is easily scratched, affecting the appearance of the parts to be transported.
[0038] In order to reduce the probability of the outer surface of the parts to be transported being scratched during stacking and transportation, a protective plate assembly is placed on the top of each part to be transported when stacking the parts to be transported (parts to be transported), which can reduce the probability of the top of the parts to be transported being scratched. At the same time, the corner protection assembly can protect the corners of the parts to be transported, which can reduce the probability of scratches during transportation, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the parts to be transported.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 According to an embodiment of the utility model, a protective device 100 is proposed. The protective device 100 is used to protect a workpiece 30 to be transported, and the protective device 100 includes a protective plate assembly 10 and a corner protection assembly 20. The corner protection assembly 20 includes a corner protection member 21 and a connecting member 22. Along the thickness direction X of the protective plate assembly 10, the corner protection member 21 is arranged on one side of the protective plate assembly 10, and is clamped with the protective plate assembly 10 through the connecting member 22. The corner protection member 21 and the protective plate assembly 10 are jointly enclosed to form a protective space for accommodating the workpiece 30 to be transported, and the corner protection member 21 is configured to cover the corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported.
[0040] The corner refers to the part of the object 30 to be transported that extends along the thickness direction X of the protective plate assembly 10 and connects the two side surfaces of the object 30 to be transported. The corner may be an edge formed by the intersection of the two side surfaces of the object 30 to be transported, and the edge extends along the thickness direction X of the protective plate assembly 10. The corner may also be an arc surface or a convex curved surface extending along the thickness direction X of the protective plate assembly 10, and the arc surface or the convex curved surface connects with the two side surfaces of the object 30 to be transported.
[0041] Exemplarily, the corner guard 21 and the connecting piece 22 are both plastic parts, and the two are integrally formed by injection molding. In other examples, the corner guard 21 and the connecting piece 22 can also be fixed by hot melt welding.
[0042] Exemplarily, the connecting member 22 is an L-shaped plate, which is located at one end of the corner guard 21 and is connected to the corner guard 21 by screws or bolts.
[0043] Optionally, the corner guard 21 may be, but is not limited to, an arc plate, a square tube or an L-shaped rod, etc. For example, the corner guard 21 may be a square tube, the object to be transported 30 may be a square box, the square box may be loaded into the square tube, and the guard plate assembly 10 may be covered on the top of the object to be transported 30.
[0044] The connection between the connecting member 22 and the protective plate assembly 10 includes but is not limited to snap connection, screw connection or bolt connection.
[0045] The number of the corner protection components 20 can be one or more, which can be determined based on the corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported that are prone to scratches and the number of corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported. Figure 1 The figure shows that there are four corner protection assemblies 20, and when the object to be transported 30 is an air conditioner, the positional relationship between the protection device 100 and the air conditioner is shown. The protection device 100 can be used for, but not limited to, protecting objects such as air conditioners or boxes.
[0046] Optionally, the surface of the corner guard 21 facing the workpiece 30 to be transported can be an arc surface, a V-shaped surface, a concave elliptical surface, or a concave surface constructed by a spline curve, so that the corner guard 21 can cover the corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported and achieve the purpose of protecting the corners.
[0047] According to the protective device 100 of the utility model, before transportation, in order to improve the transportation efficiency, multiple parts to be transported 30 need to be stacked together in an upper and lower layer. In order to reduce the damage to the upper surface of the parts to be transported 30, a protective plate assembly 10 is arranged on the top of each part to be transported 30. This can reduce the scratches caused by the upper part to be transported 30 on the lower part to be transported during transportation. At the same time, the corner protection part 21 can protect the corners of the parts to be transported 30, and can reduce the scratches on the corners of the parts to be transported 30 during transportation.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protective plate assembly 10 includes a buffer plate 11 and a protective plate 12. The buffer plate 11 is connected to a connecting member 22. The protective plate 12 is stacked with the buffer plate 11 and is arranged on a side of the buffer plate 11 away from the corner protection member 21.
[0049] Optionally, the protective plate 12 and the buffer plate 11 may be non-metal plates, and the buffer plate 11 may be, but not limited to, a foam plate or a rubber plate. The foam plate may be a PVC foam plate, a polyurethane foam plate, a polystyrene foam plate, etc.
[0050] The protective plate 12 can be a foam plate, a polytetrafluoroethylene plate, a polyurethane plate or a nylon plate, etc. The protective plate 12 can be a wooden plate or a plastic plate.
[0051] The buffer plate 11 and the protective plate 12 can be but are not limited to square plates, and can be set specifically according to the shape of the workpiece 30 to be transported. For example, the workpiece 30 to be transported is semicircular, and the buffer plate 11 and the protective plate 12 are also semicircular plates. The number of corner guards 21 is one or two. When the number of corner guards 21 is two, both corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported can be protected. When the number of corner guards 21 is one, the position of the workpiece 30 to be transported that is prone to scratches can be protected. The specific setting can be reasonably made according to actual needs.
[0052] Optionally, a groove is formed on the surface of the buffer plate 11 facing away from the protective plate 12 , and the top of the transported object 30 can be inserted into the groove to facilitate the fixation of the buffer plate 11 .
[0053] For the stacked pieces 30 to be transported, the buffer plate 11 can provide a buffer for the pieces 30 to be transported at the lower layer, thereby reducing the probability of the pieces 30 to be transported at the lower layer being crushed, while the protective plate 12 can provide a good support for the pieces 30 to be transported at the upper layer.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 A limiting protrusion 121 is formed on the surface of the protective plate 12 facing away from the buffer plate 11 , and the limiting protrusion 121 is used to be engaged with the bottom of the workpiece 30 to be transported located above the workpiece 30 to be transported.
[0055] The number of the limiting protrusions 121 may be one or more.
[0056] The shape of the limiting protrusion 121 can be, but is not limited to, circular, square, elliptical or polygonal.
[0057] Exemplarily, the number of the limiting protrusion 121 is one, and the limiting protrusion 121 is a square protrusion. When a plurality of pieces 30 to be transported are stacked together in upper and lower layers, the square protrusion is clamped at the bottom of the pieces 30 to be transported.
[0058] Exemplarily, there are multiple limiting protrusions 121, which are clamped on the bottom of the part to be transported 30 to limit the position of the part to be transported 30 in any direction on the horizontal plane. For example, the bottom of the part to be transported 30 is formed with a groove that cooperates with the limiting protrusion 121, and the protrusion can be inserted into the groove. In other examples, multiple limiting protrusions 121 can jointly define a space for accommodating the part to be transported 30, and multiple limiting members can abut against the side of the part to be transported 30. For example, the part to be transported 30 is in the shape of a cube, and there are four limiting protrusions 121, two limiting protrusions 121 abut against two opposite sides of the part to be transported 30, and the other two limiting protrusions 121 abut against the other two opposite sides of the part to be transported 30, so as to limit the movement of the part to be transported 30 in two different directions.
[0059] The setting of the limiting protrusion 121 can make the bottom of the to-be-carried piece 30 clamped on the square protrusion, so as to reduce the probability of multiple to-be-carried pieces 30 being stacked together and tipping over.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A first matching structure 111 is formed on the surface of the buffer plate 11 facing the protective plate 12 , and a second matching structure 221 is formed on the connecting member 22 . The second matching structure 221 is snap-fitted with the first matching structure 111 .
[0061] Taking the buffer plate 11 as a square plate as an example, the corner guard 21 abuts against two sides of the buffer plate 11, and the connecting member 22 forms a second matching structure 221 that matches the contour shape of the first matching structure 111. Optionally, the first matching structure 111 can be a fan-shaped groove or a fan-shaped notch. Figure 3 It shows that the first matching structure 111 is a groove structure, Figure 4 The first matching structure 111 is generally a fan-shaped notch. In other examples, the first matching structure 111 may be an L-shaped groove or other special-shaped groove, and the outer contour of the second matching structure 221 is the same as that of the first matching structure 111. The structures of the first matching structure 111 and the second matching structure 221 are interchangeable, that is, the first matching structure 111 is a clamping protrusion, and the second matching structure 221 is a groove.
[0062] Thus, the protection plate assembly 10 is connected to the corner protection assembly 20 by snap-fitting, which facilitates the installation and removal of the corner protection assembly 20 and the protection plate assembly 10 .
[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 At least part of the connecting member 22 is sandwiched between the protective plate 12 and the buffer plate 11, and a second matching structure 221 is formed on the surface of the connecting member 22 facing the buffer plate 11. The second matching structure 221 is a snap-on protrusion, and the first matching structure 111 is an embedded structure.
[0064] The clamping protrusion may be, but is not limited to, a circular protrusion, a square protrusion, an elliptical protrusion, a polygonal protrusion, or the like.
[0065] The first matching structure 111 may be a groove or a hole.
[0066] The connecting piece 22 is clamped by the protective plate 12 and the buffer plate 11, and the connecting piece 22 is snap-fitted with the buffer plate 11, which can improve the firmness of the connection between the corner guard assembly 20 and the protective plate assembly 10, so as to reduce the probability of the corner guard assembly 20 being scratched during the transportation of the object 30 to be transported, thereby enabling the object 30 to be transported to be reliably protected.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the embedding structure includes any one of a groove, a notch and a snap-in hole.
[0068] Therefore, the second matching structure 221 and the first matching structure 111 are conveniently connected.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1The corner protection member 21 includes a first protection portion 211 and a second protection portion 212. The first protection portion 211 and the second protection portion 212 extend along the thickness direction X of the protection plate assembly 10 respectively, and one end of the first protection portion 211 and the second protection portion 212 along the thickness direction X of the protection plate assembly 10 are respectively connected to the connecting member 22. The first protection portion 211 and the second protection portion 212 are connected to form a protection groove. Part of the protection plate assembly 10 is located in the protection groove, and the protection groove is used to cover the edges and corners of the part 30 to be transported.
[0070] Optionally, the protective groove formed by the first protective portion 211 and the second protective portion 212 may be a V-shaped groove or a trapezoidal groove (the cross section of the groove is V-shaped or trapezoidal, and the cross section extends perpendicularly to the thickness direction X of the protective plate assembly 10).
[0071] Thus, the first protection part 211 and the second protection part 212 respectively cover two adjacent side surfaces of the workpiece 30 to be transported, so as to cover the corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported, thereby protecting the corners and reducing the probability of the corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported being scratched during transportation.
[0072] In other embodiments, the corner protection member 21 includes an arc-shaped plate (the cross section of the plate is arc-shaped, and the cross section extends perpendicular to the thickness direction X of the protection plate assembly 10), and one end of the arc-shaped plate is connected to the connecting member 22. The arc-shaped plate can cover the arc-shaped corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The corner protection assembly 20 also includes a buffer layer 23, and the inner wall of the protection groove is connected to the buffer layer 23.
[0074] The buffer layer 23 includes but is not limited to a foam layer, a foam layer, a sponge layer, a polyurethane layer or a rubber layer.
[0075] The buffer layer 23 and the inner wall of the protection groove may be fixed by bonding or by bolts.
[0076] The provision of the buffer layer 23 can further reduce the scratches on the corners of the object 30 to be transported during the transport process.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple corner protection assemblies 20, and the multiple corner protection members 21 and the protection plate assembly 10 together limit a protection space.
[0078] In this way, the corners of the workpiece 30 to be transported having multiple corners can be protected.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 The number of the corner protection components 20 is four, and the four corner protection components 20 are arranged in a rectangular array.
[0080] Thus, the four corners of the product to be transported 30 which is substantially in the shape of a cube can be protected.
[0081] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
