Detailed implementation manners

[0033] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only some exemplary embodiments of the present utility model are described by way of illustration. It is understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claims.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the hanging basket device includes a mounting bracket 1. Both ends of the mounting bracket 1 are provided with connecting rods 2 extending forward. The connecting rods 2 are fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 1. The width between the two connecting rods 2 is greater than the width or diameter of the wire basket 7. Hooks 3 for hanging the basket are respectively provided on the inner sides of the two connecting rods 2. The inner ends of the hooks 3 for hanging the basket extend to the inner sides of the connecting rods 2 to hook the side parts of the wire basket 7. The outer ends of the hooks 3 for hanging the basket are rotatably installed on the connecting rods 2 through a rotating shaft 4. The hooks 3 for hanging the basket can swing forward and backward around the rotating shaft 4.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a reset member is provided on the hook 3 for hanging the basket to enable the hook 3 for hanging the basket to automatically return to the middle position after swinging forward and backward. The reset member includes two torsion springs 5 sleeved outside the rotating shaft 4. The two torsion springs 5 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower parts of the hook 3 for hanging the basket. One end of the torsion spring 5 is connected to the connecting rod 2, and the other end of the torsion spring 5 is connected to the hook 3 for hanging the basket. The torques of the two torsion springs 5 are opposite. The two torsion springs 5 are used to make the hook 3 for hanging the basket have torques forward and backward, so that the hook 3 for hanging the basket can swing back to the middle from the front and swing back to the middle from the back.

[0037] In order to prevent the bottom end of the hook 3 for hanging the basket from pressing the torsion spring 5, a support leg is added between the hook 3 for hanging the basket and the connecting rod 2 to reserve an installation space for the torsion spring 5.

[0038] Referring to Figure 5 , a slot 6 for accommodating the hook 3 for hanging the basket is provided on the inner side of the connecting rod 2. The slot 6 is provided to avoid the hook 3 for hanging the basket and prevent interference when the hook 3 for hanging the basket swings forward or backward.

[0039] Referring to Figure 4 , the inner end of the hook 3 for hanging the basket is provided with a hook head 31 bent upward. The upward bending of the hook head 31 can ensure that the hoop of the wire basket 7 is hooked.

[0040] See Figure 5 The hook head 31 is a plate-shaped hook head 31. The front and rear end faces of the plate-shaped hook head 31 are provided with inclined surfaces 32 that gradually widen from the inner end to the outer end. The arrangement of the two inclined surfaces 32 makes the hook head 31 triangular. This design can facilitate the forward and backward swinging of the hook head 31 to cross over the wire basket 7.

[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] When it is necessary to hook the wire basket 7, move this device horizontally forward from one side of the wire basket 7 to approach the wire basket 7, and make the connecting rod 2 located on both sides of the wire basket 7 and lower than the top hoop of the wire basket 7. As the connecting rod 2 continues to move forward, the hanging basket hook 3 can come into contact with the hoop on the side of the wire basket 7 multiple times and swing backward to avoid it. As the connecting rod 2 continues to move forward, the hanging basket hook 3 can cross over multiple hoops. As the connecting rod 2 continues to move forward, the hanging basket hook 3 can move to the middle position of the wire basket 7. At this time, the hanging basket hook 3 expands and is in the middle position. The state is shown in Figure 1 and the hanging basket hook 3 is located below the hoop of the wire basket 7. At this time, lift this device, and the two hanging basket hooks 3 respectively hook the hoops of the wire basket 7, and the wire basket 7 can also be abutted against the mounting rack 1. At this time, the wire basket 7 can be lifted as a whole through the mounting rack 1. The state is shown in Figure 2 ;

[0043] When it is necessary to unload the wire basket 7, first lower this device so that the hanging basket hook 3 disengages from the hoop of the wire basket 7, and then move this device horizontally backward away from the wire basket 7. During the backward movement, the hanging basket hook 3 comes into contact with the hoop on the side of the wire basket 7 multiple times and swings forward to avoid it. As the connecting rod 2 continues to move backward, the hanging basket hook 3 can cross over multiple hoops and completely separate from the wire basket 7.

[0044] There are two hanging basket hooks 3 in this device, which can hook the left and right sides of the wire basket 7. The two support points support symmetrically left and right, which can try to ensure the balance of the wire basket 7, and the stability and safety are better; and when the wire basket 7 is filled with goods, the left and right support points can reduce the possibility of the wire basket 7 deforming forward, reduce the damage of the wire basket 7, and the goods are not easy to scatter.

[0045] Figure 1 is the state diagram when this device is matched with a square basket, Figure 6 is the state diagram when this device is matched with a round basket. This device can not only hook a square basket but also a round basket.

[0046] Embodiment Two:

[0047] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment One, and the main difference lies in the structure of the reset member. See Figure 7, the reset member includes two tension springs 8, the two tension springs 8 are respectively arranged on the front side and the rear side of the hanging basket hook 3, one end of the tension spring 8 is connected to the connecting rod 2, and the other end of the tension spring 8 is connected to the middle of the hanging basket hook 3. The two tension springs 8 are used to respectively control the hanging basket hook 3 to swing forward and swing backward and then return to the middle position.

[0048] Embodiment Three:

[0049] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment One, and the main difference lies in the different structure of the hook head 31. Refer to Figure 8 , the hook head 31 is a cylindrical hook head 31. The structure of this kind of cylindrical hook head 31 is simpler, and it is also easier to avoid the loop ribs without setting the inclined surface 32 as in Embodiment One.

[0050] Embodiment Four:

[0051] In other embodiments, the hanging basket hook 3 is installed by swinging, while in this embodiment, the hanging basket hook 3 is installed by sliding and telescoping. Refer to Figure 9 , the outer end of the hanging basket hook 3 is slidably and telescopically connected to the connecting rod 2 and can extend or retract relative to the connecting rod 2. An expansion control member is provided between the connecting rod 2 and the hanging basket hook 3. The telescopic direction of the hanging basket hook 3 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting rod 2. A receiving groove 11 for receiving the hanging basket hook 3 is provided on the connecting rod 2. The rear end of the connecting rod 2 slides horizontally along the receiving groove 11. The expansion control member is a compression spring 12 connected between the connecting rod 2 and the hanging basket hook 3. Pressure plates are fixed at both ends of the compression spring 12, and the pressure plates are fixedly installed with the hanging basket hook 3 and the connecting rod 2. Inclined surfaces 32 that gradually become wider from the inner end to the outer end are provided on the front and rear sides of the hanging basket hook 3. The receiving groove 11 can be horizontally arranged or slightly inclined upward.

[0052] When the inclined surface 32 contacts the mesh basket rib ring, the mesh basket rib ring abuts against the inclined surface 32, pressing the basket hook 3 to retract inwards. After passing the rib ring, the basket hook 3 pops out under the action of the compression spring 12. After the basket hook is fully popped out, the hook head 31 at the inner end is located outside the connecting rod 2, and the other most part is in the receiving groove 11 of the connecting rod 2. When the basket hook 3 moves to the middle of the basket and is ready to hook the basket, the basket hanging device is upward as a whole, and the exposed hook head of the basket hook 3 hooks the basket. Since most of the basket hook 3 is located in the receiving groove 11, when the basket hook is hung up, the basket hook is mainly subjected to the force in the up-and-down direction. Through the matching installation between the receiving groove 11 and the basket hook 3 and the pulling of the compression spring 12, the basket hook 3 will not be separated from the receiving groove 11. The device controls the extension and contraction of the basket hook 3 by the extension and contraction of the spring, and is convenient to use.

[0053] Embodiment five:

[0054] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the main difference is that the connecting rod 2 is not fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, but in this embodiment, the connecting rod 2 is laterally adjustable and mounted on the mounting frame 1. Figure 10 , horizontally arranged long holes 9 are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 1, and the connecting rod 2 is connected to the long holes 9 through studs and bolts. The lateral position of the connecting rod 2 can be adjusted along the long holes 9 to control the distance between the two hanging basket hooks 3, which can be suitable for net baskets 7 of different specifications.

[0055] Embodiment six:

[0056] This embodiment is a further improvement on the first embodiment, in which a basket support frame 10 matching the shape and size of the lower part of the net basket 7 is provided below the basket hanging device, see Figure 11 When the net basket 7 is lifted by the basket hanging device, the net basket 7 is tilted backward, and the basket supporting frame 10 can support the lower part of the net basket 7 to further ensure the balance of the net basket 7.

[0057] Embodiment seven:

[0058] This embodiment is a further improvement on the first embodiment, and the device is applied to a transport vehicle. Figure 12, the carrier truck includes a frame, and the hanging basket device is installed at the front end of the frame and can follow the carrier truck to move for goods handling. When there is no lifting device on the carrier truck, the fruit farmer can manually install the net basket 7 full of goods on the hanging basket device and then move it away with the carrier truck. When there is a lifting device on the carrier truck, the basket supporting device is installed on the lifting device, and the automatic rising and falling of the basket supporting device can be controlled through the lifting device, so that the net basket 7 can be automatically hooked and automatically lowered. During use, first, the basket supporting device is lowered to the lowest point through the lifting device, so that the hanging basket hook 3 is lower than the top hoop of the net basket 7, and the two swinging hooks respectively correspond to both sides of the net basket 7. Then, the carrier truck is pushed forward to approach the net basket 7, so that the two hanging basket hooks 3 extend into the middle parts on both sides of the net basket 7 across the side part of the net basket 7. When there is no hoop hindrance, the hanging basket hook 3 expands and is in the middle position. Then, the basket supporting device is controlled to rise a small stroke through the lifting device, so that the two hanging basket hooks 3 hook both sides of the net basket 7. As the lifting device continues to rise, the net basket 7 can be lifted. Then, the carrier truck is tilted backward so that the net basket can lean on the frame. Then, the net basket can be moved away through the carrier truck; when unloading, the net basket 7 is placed in the carriage, and the lifting device descends a small stroke, so that the hanging basket hook 3 disengages from the net basket 7 downward. Then, the carrier truck is pushed backward. At this time, the hanging basket hook 3 swings forward across the hoop of the net basket 7 and is completely separated from the net basket 7. Then, the lifting device descends to the lowest point and waits to hook the next net basket 7. The lifting device can be a lifting cylinder or a lifting assembly composed of a winch, a steel wire rope, a roller, etc. The lifting device belongs to the prior art in the field of carrier trucks and will not be elaborated here.

[0059] This device can be applied to a carrier truck to realize the automatic hooking and lifting of the net basket 7. Of course, this device is not limited to a carrier truck and can also be used on other transportation tools such as forklifts.

[0060] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present invention.
