[0002] Some film manufacturing companies need to use plastic extrusion equipment. Usually, this plastic extrusion equipment is equipped with a large screw for stirring and pushing plastic raw materials. When a batch of plastic raw materials is extruded, the plastic extrusion equipment needs to be stopped for cleaning and the screw in the plastic extrusion equipment needs to be taken out. However, the screw weighs several tons, and the equipment needs to be used for transportation after the screw is taken out. Currently, the commonly used transportation equipment is a trolley that needs to be pushed by manpower. There are two problems with this type of transportation equipment. First, the trolley needs to be pushed manually to undertake and transport the screw, which may cause the trolley to collapse and the screw to injure the staff. Second, the screw is long, and the scene of transporting the screw is indoors. The turning radius of the general trolley is too large, which is inconvenient to operate. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a screw automatic transporter that can automatically transport the screw and has flexible turning. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0021] It should be noted that the method for removing the screw of some extrusion equipment is to remove some parts and then push one end of the screw forward so that the screw is slowly pulled out from the other end. The present disclosure is most suitable for this type of extrusion equipment.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] A screw automatic transport vehicle comprises: a base, which comprises a chassis 1 and universal wheels arranged in a rectangular shape around the chassis 1; a receiving platform, which comprises a base 4 for receiving and limiting a screw 3; a lifting component, which is supported between the base and the receiving platform; a QR code navigation component, which comprises a QR code sticker and a code reader 5, wherein the QR code sticker is laid on the ground along the travel path of the automatic transport vehicle, and the code reader 5 is installed on the side of the chassis 1 close to the ground.

[0024] A motor is provided in the chassis 1, and the motor is drivingly connected to the universal wheel. The universal wheel is a Mecanum wheel 6, and four Mecanum wheels 6 are provided. The Mecanum wheels 6 include two left-handed Mecanum wheels 6 and two right-handed Mecanum wheels 6. Along the forward direction of the screw automatic transport vehicle, the left front wheel is a right-handed Mecanum wheel 6; the right front wheel is a left-handed Mecanum wheel 6; the left rear wheel is a left-handed Mecanum wheel 6; and the right rear wheel is a right-handed Mecanum wheel 6.

[0025] The implementation of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0026] The QR code will be accompanied by specific information, such as location, direction and operation. The screw automatic transport vehicle obtains this information through the code reader 5, and sets the QR code evenly on the ground to control the movement of the screw automatic transport vehicle, so that the transportation process is automated to prevent workers from being hit by the screw 3.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] The base 4 includes at least one group of symmetrically arranged bosses 7, each of which has inclined surfaces that are relatively arranged and inclined away from the opposite boss 7 from low to high. The inclined surfaces of the two bosses 7 cooperate to form a receiving position for the screw 3.

[0029] A flexible layer 8 is laid on the inclined surface and part of the receiving platform.

[0030] The implementation method of the above embodiment is as follows: the receiving position formed by the two bosses 7 supports the screw rod 3, and due to the setting of the inclined surface, the screw rods 3 of different thicknesses can be adapted to the receiving position.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] The lifting assembly includes an upper table 9, a lower table 10, an outer bracket 11, an inner bracket 12 and a hydraulic rod 13. The upper table 9 is arranged in parallel with the lower table 10. The end positions of the outer bracket 11 and the inner bracket 12 are provided with support rods 14. The outer bracket 11 and the inner bracket 12 are cross-braced between the upper table 9 and the lower table 10. One end of the outer bracket 11 is rotatably fixed to the upper table 9; the other end is provided with a roller 15 that cooperates with the lower table 10. The inner bracket 1 2 is rotatably fixed to the lower table 10; the other end is provided with a roller 15 which cooperates with the upper table 9, a rotatable fixing member 2 is penetrated at the intersection of the outer bracket 11 and the inner bracket 12, a force rod 16 is provided at the middle position of the inner bracket 12, and the hydraulic rod 13 is supported between the force rod 16 and the support rod 14 of the outer bracket 11 close to the chassis 1, and the two ends of the hydraulic rod 13 are rotatably fixed to the force rod 16 and the support rod 14 of the outer bracket 11 close to the chassis 1.

[0033] A notch 17 is formed on a side of the chassis 1 close to the ground, and the code reader 5 is disposed in the notch 17 .

[0034] The implementation method of the above embodiment is as follows: the hydraulic rod 13 changes the distance between the force-bearing rod 16 and the support rod 14 on the side of the outer bracket 11 close to the chassis 1 by telescoping, but since the force-bearing rod 16 and the support rod 14 are both fixed parts, and the outer bracket 11 and the inner bracket 12 are penetrated by the rotating fixed part 2, the outer bracket 11 and the inner bracket 12 can only change the crossing angle by rotating the fixed part 2 to adapt to the push of the hydraulic rod 13, and the crossing angle between the inner bracket 12 and the outer bracket 11 changes, and the distance between the upper table 9 and the lower table 10 will also change, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the upper table 9.

[0035] Example 4

[0036] The receiving platform is provided with a distance sensor 18 .

[0037] The screw rod automatic transport vehicle comprises at least two vehicles, and a baffle 19 is provided on the receiving platform of one of the screw rod automatic transport vehicles.

[0038] The implementation method of the above embodiment is: before the two screw automatic transport vehicles reach the extrusion position of the screw 3 according to the instructions of the QR code sticker, the screw automatic transport vehicle without the baffle 19 is the vehicle a and is closer to the extrusion position, and the screw automatic transport vehicle with the baffle 19 is the vehicle b and is far away from the extrusion position.

[0039] When the screw 3 is slowly extended, the screw 3 first passes over the top of the trolley a and is detected by the distance sensor 18, but the lifting component of the trolley a is not lifted at this time. When the screw 3 is extended to the top of the trolley b and is detected by the distance sensor 18, the lifting component of the trolley b is lifted, and the trolley b receives the screw 3 and moves forward as the screw 3 is extended. After a certain period of time (calculated based on the distance between the trolley a and the trolley b, the length of the screw 3 and the extension speed of the screw 3), the lifting component of the trolley a is lifted. At this time, the screw 3 is lifted by the trolley a and the trolley b, and then the screw 3 is transported according to the instructions of the QR code sticker.
