Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plate transportation, and more specifically, to a plate conveying vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of industrial automation, material transport carts have been increasingly used in factory production. When a product moves from one process to the next, it needs to be transferred from one processing station to the next. For some products that are not suitable for conveyor belts, material transport carts are needed for transfer.

[0003] The Chinese patent discloses a plate conveying device, which consists of two movable loading carts and a transfer cart, which are locked by a car body connection buckle; the transfer cart has a retractable suspension back and a material grabbing mechanism installed on the suspension back, and the lifting mechanism drives the suspension back and the material grabbing mechanism installed thereon to move up and down and further grab the plate, and the suspension back extends to send the plate into the loading area of ​​the equipment to realize the plate conveying function. However, this trolley has a disadvantage that the position of the plate often shifts during the process of loading the plate onto the trolley, which will cause the plate to be repositioned in each processing step, slowing down the production speed. Therefore, a trolley that can adjust the center of the plate during the conveying process is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a plate conveyor vehicle which can adjust the position of the transported plates to facilitate subsequent processing of the plates.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A plate conveyor vehicle is provided, comprising a vehicle body, a centering component, and a moving component. The vehicle body is provided with a bearing component for bearing plates, the moving component is installed at the bottom of the vehicle body and is movably connected to the vehicle body, the centering component is installed above the bearing component and is movably connected to the vehicle body, and the centering component is used to adjust the position of the plate on the bearing component.

[0007] With this arrangement, when plate conveying operations are required, the plates are placed on the carrying component, and the centering component works, and the plates are supported from above the carrying component to adjust the position of the plates on the carrying component, so that the plates are located in the middle of the carrying component, which is convenient for positioning when conveying to subsequent processes, and is beneficial to improving the processing accuracy of subsequent processes.

[0008] Preferably, the bearing assembly includes a conveying mechanism and a plurality of supporting frames, the conveying mechanism is rotatably mounted on the top of the vehicle body, the supporting frames are disposed on the top of the conveying mechanism, and the supporting frames are in contact with the conveying mechanism.

[0009] With this arrangement, the support frame is used to support the plate. When the plate needs to be transferred by the conveyor vehicle, the plate is first placed on the support frame, and then the support frame is transported to the conveyor vehicle by the conveyor belt. The conveying mechanism works to drive the support frame to continue moving until the support frame is completely located above the conveyor vehicle; the centering component works again to center the plate on the support frame so that the plate is located in the middle of the support frame; then the conveyor vehicle transports the plate to the loading point of the next process, and the conveying mechanism works to send the support frame together with the plate to complete the transportation of the plate.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying mechanism comprises two groups of roller assemblies, and the roller assemblies are respectively installed on both sides of the vehicle body, and guide rails are provided on both sides of the support frame, and the guide rails on both sides are respectively in contact with the two groups of roller assemblies.

[0011] With this arrangement, the guide rails can respectively abut against the roller groups on both sides, so that the support frame can move smoothly on the conveyor vehicle.

[0021] With this arrangement, when the plate needs to be centered, the telescopic rods work and extend to both sides of the plate. One of the driving mechanisms works to move the plate toward the middle of the load-bearing assembly through the telescopic rods. The other driving mechanism works again to limit the plate from the other side through the telescopic rods to prevent the plate from tilting to one side. Finally, the two telescopic rods contract together to complete the centering of the plate.
