Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transport devices, in particular to an air suspension transport platform. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, there are generally three ways to move large equipment in factories: forklifts, gantry cranes, and large flatbed trucks. However, all three methods have obvious disadvantages. Forklifts have a small transport capacity and poor flexibility; gantry cranes are complex to operate and take up a lot of space, and accidents are prone to occur when moving equipment; and large flatbed trucks cause greater damage to the ground and have poor flexibility.

[0003] Therefore, how to make the transportation of large equipment more flexible and convenient is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an air suspension transport platform, which utilizes air cushions to transport large workpieces and has the advantages of simple structure, high efficiency, time and labor saving, flexible use, and high safety performance.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] Provided is an air suspension transport platform, comprising a platform base, an air suspension disc is provided below the platform base, and a fixed wheel and a steering wheel are also provided below the platform base.

[0007] Furthermore, the air suspension disc includes a support plate installed below the platform base, and a rubber airbag is installed below the support plate;

[0008] The support plate is provided with an inflation port connected to the rubber airbag, and the rubber airbag is provided with an exhaust port.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes an air pipe for conveying gas to the inflation port, and the air pipe is connected to an air pump.

[0010] Furthermore, a reeling device is provided on the platform base, and the air pipe can be wound in the reeling device.

[0011] Furthermore, the rubber airbag is in a circular shape, and the upper end surface of the rubber airbag is evenly provided with four exhaust ports along the circumference.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The air suspension transport platform of the utility model is provided with an air suspension disc under the platform base. The compressed air generated by the air pump is transported to the rubber airbag through the air pipe. After the rubber airbag is fully inflated, the compressed air in the rubber airbag is released from the exhaust port to form a layer of air mold between the rubber airbag and the ground, so that the platform base is suspended above the layer of air mold. At this time, there is almost no friction between the ground and the transport platform. At this time, only a small force is required to move the heavy objects. The transport platform can easily realize forward and backward movement, right-angle turn, on-the-spot rotation and other position movements. It is more flexible to use and will not cause damage to the ground. In addition, the transport platform has a simple structure and occupies a small area, which solves the problem of site limitation.

[0016] 2. The air suspension transport platform of the utility model can drive the movement of the platform base through the steering wheel, so as to realize automatic transport and achieve a more time-saving and labor-saving effect;

[0017] 3. In the air suspension transport platform of the utility model example, the air pump is provided separately and does not move with the platform base, thereby reducing the impact of the air pump vibration on the platform base and making the transport process smoother. In addition, the air pipe is wound in the reeling device to avoid the air pipe from being messy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model, rather than to limit the utility model. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an air suspension transport platform, including a platform base 1, and objects to be transported can be placed on the platform base 1 for transport. An air suspension disc 2 is provided below the platform base 1, and a fixed wheel 3 and a steering wheel 4 are also provided below the platform base 1.

[0026] There are multiple air suspension discs 2, and the multiple air suspension discs 2 are evenly arranged along both sides of the platform base 1. Specifically, the air suspension disc 2 includes a support plate 5 installed below the platform base 1, and a rubber airbag 6 is installed below the support plate 5, and the rubber airbag 6 is a circular ring structure. The support plate 5 is provided with an inflation port 7 connected to the rubber airbag 6, and the rubber airbag 6 is provided with an exhaust port 8, and the exhaust port 8 is located at the inner position, so that the air is discharged from the exhaust port 8 and filled in the closed space between the rubber airbag 6 and the ground. As more gas is discharged, a layer of air film is formed at the contact point between the rubber air cushion and the ground, and the rubber air cushion is suspended above the air film. At this time, there is almost no friction between the ground and the handling platform. At this time, only a small force is required to move the heavy object, and the handling platform can easily realize the position movement such as forward and backward movement, right-angle turn, and rotation in place. It is more flexible to use and will not cause damage to the ground. In addition, the handling platform has a simple structure and a small footprint, which solves the problem of site limitations.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper end surface of the rubber airbag 6 is evenly provided with four exhaust ports 8 along the circumference. The four exhaust ports 8 allow the rubber airbag 6 to exhaust air more evenly during the exhaust process, thereby making the various parts of the air suspension disc 2 better balanced and facilitating smooth transportation.

[0028] Each of the air suspension discs 2 is supplied with gas through an air pipe 10, which is connected to an air pump 9, and the compressed air generated by the air pump 9 is delivered to each inflation port 7 through the air pipe 10. In addition, in order to facilitate the storage of the air pipe 10, a reeling device 11 is also provided on the platform base 1, and the air pipe 10 can be wound in the reeling device 11. In this embodiment, a gas collection box 12 is provided in the middle of the reeling device 11, and one end of the air pipe 10 is connected to the gas collection box 12, and the gas collection box 12 is then connected to the inflation port 7 of each air suspension disc 2 through a pipeline. In this way, the compressed air generated by the air pump 9 is first delivered to the gas collection box 12, and then delivered to each inflation port 7 by the gas collection box 12. The gas collection box 12 plays a role in uniforming the gas, so that the gas flow rate entering each air suspension disc 2 is more uniform, so as to ensure the smoothness of the transportation process. The reeling device 11 can rotate to facilitate the retraction and release of the air pipe 10. The air pipe 10 and the gas collection box 12 are connected by a rotary joint. Since the air pump 9 will vibrate during the process of compressing air, if the air pump 9 is directly installed on the platform base 1, the platform base 1 will vibrate during the operation of the air pump 9, which will affect the handling and may even cause damage to the items. Therefore, in this embodiment, the air pump 9 is set separately and does not move with the movement of the platform base 1, thereby reducing the impact of the vibration of the air pump 9 on the platform base 1 and making the handling process more stable.

[0029] There are two steering wheels 4, which are respectively located at the front and rear sides, and the platform base 1 can be driven to move by the steering wheels 4, so that automatic transportation can be achieved, achieving a more time-saving and labor-saving effect. There are four fixed wheels 3, which are respectively located at the four corners of the platform base 1, and the fixed wheels 3 play a role of stable support.

[0030] The air suspension transport platform of the present embodiment is equipped with an air suspension disc under the platform base, so that the transport platform has the characteristics of large load-bearing capacity, omnidirectional movement, ground protection, precise positioning, and vibration resistance. It is particularly suitable for use in large equipment manufacturing fields, nuclear power fields, narrow workplaces, dust-free workshops and other occasions.

[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the utility model. For example, the above features are replaced with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
