Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a transfer auxiliary device, in particular to a transfer tooling. Background Art

[0002] At present, a relatively common car wash machine has an overall "Π" - shaped structure. A car enters from one end, stops inside the car wash machine, and drives out from the other end after being washed. There are various devices for car washing inside the car wash machine, such as brushing devices, water - spraying devices, etc. These devices cooperate under the control of the car - washing program.

[0003] This kind of car wash machine is relatively small in volume and light in weight. In terms of weight and volume, it can be transported by a forklift. However, there is no place on the car wash machine that can be forklifted, so a transfer auxiliary device is needed to realize the connection between the car wash machine and the forklift, so as to transport the car wash machine by the forklift. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a transfer auxiliary device for realizing the connection between a car wash machine and a forklift.

[0005] To solve the above - mentioned technical problem, the utility model provides a transfer tooling, which includes a base, an adjusting component, and two connecting modules. The two connecting modules are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the base. The adjusting component is used to adjust the left - right position of the connecting module relative to the base. The connecting module has a clamping mechanism and a forklift - inserting hole. The clamping mechanism is arranged at the outer end of the connecting module and is used for fixedly connecting with the equipment to be transferred. The forklift - inserting hole is used for the forklift to insert from the back to the front to connect the transfer tooling with the forklift.

[0006] The transfer tooling has two connecting modules, one on the left and one on the right, and two forklift - inserting holes, one on the left and one on the right. The clamping mechanisms of the two connecting modules respectively clamp the equipment to be transferred. The forklift inserts into the forklift - inserting hole and transports the equipment to be transferred together with the transfer tooling. For the car wash machine, the two clamping mechanisms can respectively clamp the bottom plates on the left and right sides of the car wash machine to realize the transportation of the car wash machine by the forklift.

[0007] In one embodiment, the connection module is slidably connected to the base, and the sliding direction of the connection module relative to the base is the left-right direction; the adjustment component is in a Y shape, including two support rods, a socket inserted along the front-back direction, and a screw rod along the front-back direction. The screw rod is threadedly connected to the base, and the rear end of the screw rod is inserted into the socket. The socket limits the farthest position where the screw rod moves backward relative to the socket. The front end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the rear end of the socket, and the rear end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding connection module. Thus, rotating the screw rod to move the screw rod backward relative to the base can increase the included angle between the two support rods, and further change the distance between the two connection modules. This adjustment component has a simple structure and can make the two connection modules move synchronously, with high adjustment efficiency. In other embodiments, other adjustment components can also be used, and the two connection modules are adjusted separately. Specifically, reference can be made to the existing structures for realizing the relative position adjustment between two modules.

[0008] In one embodiment, the base is in a T shape, including a transverse part along the left-right direction and a longitudinal part along the front-back direction. The rear end of the longitudinal part is fixedly connected to the transverse part. The front end of the longitudinal part is provided with a connection part along the up-down direction. A fixing nut is welded to one side of the connection part. There is a through hole along the front-back direction on the connection part. The adjustment component further includes a movable nut. The screw rod of the adjustment component sequentially passes through the movable nut, the through hole, and the fixing nut. The screw rod is threadedly connected to the movable nut and the fixing nut. The movable nut is used to prevent the screw rod from moving back and forth relative to the connection part.

[0009] In one embodiment, a handle is provided at the front end of the screw rod of the adjustment component for hand grasping to rotate the screw rod.

[0010] In one embodiment, a slider is provided on the lower side of the connection module, and a slide rail along the left-right direction is provided on the upper side of the base. Through the cooperation of the slider and the slide rail, the connection module is slidably connected to the base; stoppers are provided at both ends of the slide rail for limiting the sliding range of the connection module within the stroke allowed by the slide rail. Setting the slide rail and the slider can play a guiding role in the movement of the connection module, facilitating the quick and efficient movement of the connection module to the required position.

[0011] In one embodiment, a plurality of rollers are provided on the lower side of the base, so that when the transfer tooling moves relative to the ground, the friction between it and the ground is rolling friction, which is convenient for installing the transfer tooling on the equipment to be transferred. In other embodiments, the rollers may not be provided either.

[0012] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a C-shaped member and a pressing plate. The C-shaped member includes an upper wall, a lower wall, and side walls. The upper wall is located above the lower wall, and the pressing plate is located between the upper wall and the lower wall. The upper wall, the pressing plate, and the lower wall are parallel to each other. Anti-slip pads are provided on the inner side of the C-shaped member and the lower side of the pressing plate to increase the friction between the equipment to be transported and the clamping mechanism. The distance between the pressing plate and the lower wall of the C-shaped member can be adjusted, so that the clamping mechanism can clamp and release the bottom plate. In other embodiments, the clamping mechanism can also be other structures. Description of the Drawings

[0017] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and one of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the transfer tooling 200 includes a base 1. There is a connection module 2 on each of the left and right sides of the base 1. The two ends of the connection module 2 are its outer end and inner end respectively. The outer end is the end farther from the base 1, and the inner end is the end closer to the base 1. The outer end of the connection module 2 is a clamping mechanism 21, and the clamping mechanism 21 is used to clamp the bottom plate 101 of the car wash machine 100 from the side. The two connection modules 2 can each change their positions relative to the base 1 in the left-right direction, so as to facilitate entering and exiting the car wash machine 100 and can also adapt to car wash machines of different widths. The connection module 2 has a fork insertion hole 22 in the front-back direction, and the fork insertion hole 22 is used for the forklift forks 301 of the forklift 300 to be inserted from the back to the front. When it is necessary to transport the car wash machine 100, first place the transfer tooling 200 in the car wash machine 100, and then adjust the position of the connection module 2 relative to the base 1 until the two clamping mechanisms 21 can respectively clamp the bottom plates 101 on the left and right sides of the car wash machine 100. After that, the forklift forks 301 of the forklift 300 are inserted into the two fork insertion holes 22, and the car wash machine 100 is lifted and transported together with the transfer tooling 200.

[0019] A slider 23 is provided on the lower side of the connection module 2, and a slide rail 11 in the left-right direction is provided on the upper side of the base 1. Through the cooperation of the slider 23 and the slide rail 11, the connection module 2 is slidably connected to the base 1. Stoppers 111 are provided at both ends of the slide rail 11 to limit the sliding range of the connection module 2 within the stroke allowed by the slide rail 11. The base 1 has a "T" - shaped structure, including a horizontal portion in the left - right direction and a vertical portion in the front - rear direction. The position adjustment of the connection module 2 relative to the base 1 is realized by an adjustment assembly 3 above the base 1.

[0020] The adjustment assembly 3 has a "Y" - shaped structure, including a screw rod 31 in the front - rear direction, a socket 33 in the front - rear direction, and two support rods 32 rotatably connected to the socket 33. The front end of the support rod 32 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the socket 33, and the rear end of the support rod 32 is rotatably connected to the connection module 2. A connection portion 12 in the up - down direction is provided at the front end of the vertical portion of the base 1. There is a light hole in the front - rear direction on the connection portion 12, and the screw rod 31 is inserted through the light hole. The screw rod 31 has an external thread, and two nuts 33a, 33b are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the connection portion 12 and are screwed onto the screw rod 31. Among them, the nut 33a is welded and fixed to the connection portion 12, and the nut 33b can move relative to the connection portion 12. A handle 311 for conveniently operating the screw rod 31 is provided at the front end of the screw rod 31. The rear end of the screw rod 31 is inserted into the socket 33, and a limiting wall 331 is provided inside the socket 33 to limit the farthest position of the screw rod 31 relative to the socket 33 moving backward. When it is necessary to adjust the left - right position of the connection module 2 relative to the base 1:

[0021] If it is necessary to move the two connection modules 2 away from each other, then turn the nut 33b to make it away from the connection portion 12, and then grasp the handle 311 to rotate the screw rod 31, so that the screw rod 31 and the socket 33 move backward relative to the connection portion 12. In this way, the included angle θ between the two support rods 32 becomes larger, and the distance between the two connection modules 2 becomes farther. When the two clamping mechanisms 21 are respectively buckled on the corresponding bottom plates 101, turn the nut 33b to make it abut against the connection portion 12 again to complete the locking of the position of the connection module 2. Then adjust the clamping mechanisms 21 to clamp the corresponding bottom plates 101, and then the forklift 300 can lift the car washer 100 together with the transfer tooling 200 and carry it away. Using the nuts 33a, 33b to lock the screw rod 31 is more reliable than simply relying on the clamping force of the clamping mechanisms 21 on the bottom plates 101 to keep the relative position between the two connection modules 2 fixed.

[0022] If it is necessary to move two connecting modules 2 closer to each other, turn the nut 33b to move it away from the connecting portion 12, then grasp the handle 311 and rotate the screw rod 31 so that the screw rod 31 moves forward relative to the connecting portion 12 and the socket 33. The rear end of the screw rod 31 exits the socket 33, and then directly push the two connecting modules 2 closer to each other by hand. In this way, the included angle θ between the two support rods 32 becomes smaller, and the distance between the rear end of the screw rod 31 and the socket 33 becomes closer again, which is convenient for the next use.

[0023] In order to facilitate the left - right movement of the transfer tooling 200 until it moves to the middle position when connecting the transfer tooling 200 with the car wash machine 100, the two clamping mechanisms 21 are respectively buckled on the corresponding bottom plates 101. Refer to Figure 3 , and a plurality of rollers 13 are provided on the lower side of the base 1. The rollers 13 can be universal wheels or wheels that can only roll left and right.

[0024] Refer to Figure 3 , the clamping mechanism 21 includes an outward C - shaped member 211 and a pressing plate 212 parallel to the lower wall of the C - shaped member 211. Anti - slip pads 213 are provided on the area where the inner side of the C - shaped member 211 contacts the bottom plate 101 and the lower side of the pressing plate 212. The distance between the pressing plate 212 and the lower wall of the C - shaped member 211 can be adjusted, so that the clamping mechanism 21 can clamp and loosen the bottom plate 101.

[0025] This transfer tooling 200 can be used not only for transferring the car wash machine, but also for transferring other equipment, as long as the equipment has a space that can accommodate the transfer tooling 200, there is an entrance at the rear side of the space for the transfer tooling 200 to enter, and there are structures on the left and right sides of the space that can cooperate with the clamping mechanisms 21.
