[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The utility model provides a tank transfer system from the unpacking room to the tank unloading room, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the transport cart comprises a support platform 1 and a transport cart. The support platform 1 comprises two side panels 11 and a rear panel 12, forming a U-shaped structure. Guide plates 111 are mounted on the outer ends of the side panels 11. Strip holes 112 are provided at the bottom of the side panels 11. Locking bolts 113 are installed in the strip holes 112 and slideably engage with the locking bolts 113. The transport cart comprises a running mechanism 3, a vehicle frame 2 is mounted on top of the running mechanism 3, a loading platform 6 is mounted on top of the vehicle frame 2, a jack 5 is mounted on one side of the loading platform 6, and a handle 4 is connected to the outer side of the jack 5. The carefully designed combination of the support platform 1 and the transport cart significantly improves the safety and efficiency of tank transfer. The support platform 1 adopts a U-shaped structure, combined with the guide plates 111 mounted on the outer ends, which not only ensures stable guidance of the tank during placement but also effectively prevents the tank from slipping or tipping during transfer, thereby ensuring safe production. At the same time, the sliding fit design of the strip hole 112 provided at the bottom of the side plate 11 and the locking bolt 113 enables the supporting platform 1 to adjust the fixed width according to actual needs, thereby enhancing the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0027] In the transport cart, the running mechanism 3 provides a stable base for movement, while the loading platform 6 atop the vehicle frame 2 is specifically designed to support the tank, ensuring its stability during transport. In particular, the jack 5 mounted on one side of the loading platform 6 and the handle 4 attached to its outer side allow the operator to easily control the raising and lowering of the tank, greatly facilitating the transfer of the tank from the supporting platform 1 to the transport cart, improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0028] In summary, the tank transfer system provided by the utility model, through its ingenious structural design and humanized operation design, realizes the safe, efficient and convenient transfer of tanks from the unpacking room to the unloading room, providing strong technical support for the production processes of related industries.

[0029] In this embodiment, the guide plate 111 is in the shape of an inverted triangle, and the angle between the side wall of the guide plate 111 and the side plate 11 is 30-45 degrees, which is used to provide more space for the loading platform 6 of the trolley to enter and will not easily collide with the supporting platform 1.

[0030] Specifically, there are two ways to fix the supporting platform 1:

[0031] The first one is Figure 3 As shown, the side panel 11 includes a portion extending outward after contacting the ground, a strip hole 112 is provided in the extended portion, a locking bolt 113 is fixed to the ground through a ground sleeve, and the rear panel 12 and the side panel 11 are fixedly connected.

[0032] The second type Figure 4 As shown, a bottom plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the side plate 11 and the rear plate 12 , the bottom end of the locking bolt 113 is connected to the bottom plate 13 , and the rear plate 12 is fixed to the bottom plate 13 , which facilitates the fixation of the side plate 11 and the rear plate 12 .

[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall of the loading platform 6 is provided with a positioning groove 61 , and the inner wall of the side panel 11 is installed with a positioning protrusion 14 . The positioning groove 61 and the positioning protrusion 14 engage with each other to facilitate the positioning of the loading platform 6 after entering the inner side of the supporting platform 1 .

[0034] Furthermore, the outer wall of the positioning protrusion 14 is a curved surface structure, and a telescopic rod 141 is installed on the side of the positioning protrusion 14 away from the curved surface structure. A fixing frame 142 is provided at one end of the telescopic rod 141, and the fixing frame 142 is installed on the side plate 11. A through hole 1421 is provided in the middle of the fixing frame 142. The telescopic rod 141 slides in cooperation with the through hole 1421. A spring 143 is provided on the outer sleeve of the telescopic rod 141, and one end of the spring 143 abuts against the inner side of the fixing frame 142, and the other end is welded and fixed to the outer wall of the telescopic rod 141, so as to facilitate the accurate positioning of the vehicle body frame 2 after entering the inner side of the supporting platform 1, and ensure the consistency of the position each time.

[0035] Furthermore, the width of the vehicle body frame 2 is smaller than the inner width of the U-shaped structure of the supporting platform 1 , which facilitates the vehicle body frame 2 to enter the inner side of the supporting platform 1 .

[0036] Furthermore, the handle 4 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the jack 5 , and the bottom end of the jack 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the walking mechanism 3 , so as to facilitate the flexible direction adjustment of the handle 4 .

[0037] When the device is in use, two limit plates are set at the bottom of the can unloader. The space defined by the two limit plates on the left and right is the space for the loading platform to enter. The limit plates and the loading platform work together to protect the can body from collision and deformation after transportation and unloading.

[0038] When using the can transfer system from the unpacking room to the can unloading room, the cans are first unloaded onto the support platform 1. The U-shaped structure of the support platform 1 and the design of the guide plate 111 ensure the stability and guidance of the cans during placement. The inverted triangular shape of the guide plate 111 and the 30-45° angle between the guide plate 111 and the side plate 11 provide ample space for the loading platform 6 of the transport cart to enter, avoiding collisions.

[0039] Then, according to the actual size of the tank, the width of the supporting platform 1 can be changed by adjusting the position of the locking bolt 113 in the strip hole 112 to adapt to tanks of different sizes, thereby enhancing the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0040] The operator then pushes the transport cart toward the support platform 1. The positioning grooves 61 on the outer wall of the loading platform 6 engage with the positioning protrusions 14 on the inner wall of the loading platform 1, achieving precise positioning of the loading platform 6. Furthermore, the curved surface structure of the positioning protrusions 14, the design of the telescopic rods 141, and the springs 143 enable the loading platform 6 to automatically adjust its position after entering the inner side of the supporting platform 1, ensuring consistent positioning for each transfer.

[0041] After the loading platform 6 is positioned, the operator controls the lifting and lowering of the jack 5 by the handle 4 to adjust the loading platform 6 to a position flush with the bottom of the tank. Then, the tank is smoothly transferred from the supporting platform 1 to the loading platform 6 of the transport cart by the lifting action of the jack 5.

[0042] Finally, the operator pushes the transport cart to safely and efficiently transfer the tank to the unloading room for the next step of disinfection. Throughout the entire transfer process, the tank remains stable and does not come into direct contact with the ground, effectively avoiding the risk of cross contamination.

[0043] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention.
