[0026] The ground bull is a manual hydraulic transport truck or manual pallet truck, which is commonly used for transporting goods in warehouses, factories, supermarkets and other places. The ground bull uses a set of forks to cooperate with the gap at the bottom of the pallet, and the hydraulic system provides lifting power to complete the lifting of the goods; then through the steering wheels and driven wheels set at the bottom, the staff completes the transportation of the goods when pulling the ground bull.
[0027] However, due to the limitations of their size specifications, conventional floor bulls cannot be adaptively used with pallets of various sizes and specifications. If multiple floor bulls are set up, the production cost will increase. In view of this, the utility model improves the structure of the rocker assembly and the fork assembly on the basis of the original floor bull, and proposes a width-adjustable floor bull for use in conditions where the cargo tonnage is relatively small but the pallets have various sizes and specifications. The purpose is to achieve the effect of using one floor bull to cooperate with pallets of various sizes, thereby improving the practicality and adaptability of the floor bull.
[0028] The solution provided by the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] A width adjustable ground cattle, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a manual hydraulic component 1 for providing lifting force. The power input end of the manual hydraulic component 1 is provided with a handle 101. The bottom of the manual hydraulic component 1 is connected to a steering wheel 102 through a rotating shaft, and a connecting plate 103 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft.
[0030] It should be noted that the above structure is a necessary structure for the normal use of the ground bull provided by the present invention, and since the manual hydraulic component 1, the steering wheel 102, and the connecting plate 103 are all conventional settings of the ground bull that can be known to technical personnel in this field based on the existing technology, the working principle thereof will not be further elaborated here, and only the working effect corresponding to the above structure will be put into use.
[0031] In this technical solution, if Figure 1 As shown, the width-adjustable ground bull further comprises: a fixed frame 2 for transmitting power, a fork assembly 4 for lifting cargo, and a rocker assembly 3 connecting the fixed frame 2 and the fork assembly 4.
[0032] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the fixing frame 2 includes a lifting portion 201 and a connecting portion 202 that are integrally connected, and the lifting portion 201 is connected to the power output end of the manual hydraulic assembly 1 .
[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the rocker assembly 3 includes a rocker 301 rotatably connected to the connecting portion 202, and a boss 302 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the rocker 301, and the length of the boss 302 is equal to the length of the rocker 301. In addition, on the circumferential side wall of the rocker 301, a group of rocker arms 303 are provided in parallel at a position opposite to the boss 302, and one end of the group of rocker arms 303 is fixedly connected to the two end portions of the rocker 301, and the other end is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 103.
[0034] Based on the above structure, when the manual hydraulic assembly 1 outputs power, the rocker 301 in the rocker assembly 3 moves vertically upward following the fixed frame 2, and at the same time the rocker 301 starts to rotate with itself as the axis. When the rocker 301 reaches a new position, the overall operating effect of the boss 302 is to sweep a fan-shaped area from bottom to top with the rocker 301 as the axis at this position.
[0035] In addition, Figure 1 、 Figure 3-6 As shown, the fork assembly 4 includes a set of fork bodies 401 and an auxiliary lifting assembly 5 provided below each fork body 401 .
[0036] A set of fork bodies 401 are arranged parallel to one side of the connecting portion 202 and have the same structure. Each fork body 401 is L-shaped as a whole and consists of an integral lifting portion 402 and a bearing portion 403. The lifting portion 402 is sleeved on the rocker 301 through a sliding hole. Figure 3 As shown, the sliding hole is composed of a circular rotating hole 404 and a fan-shaped clearance hole 405 that are interconnected. The fan-shaped area of the fan-shaped clearance hole 405 is equal to the area of the fan-shaped area swept by the boss 302.
[0037] Based on the above structure, when the fan-shaped area of the fan-shaped clearance hole 405 is equal to the area of the fan-shaped area swept by the boss 302, that is, the rotational sweeping action of the boss 302 following the rotation of the rocker 301 is all performed within the fan-shaped clearance hole 405, when the manual hydraulic assembly 1 outputs power, a group of fork bodies 401 follow the rocker 301 to move vertically upward, but will not follow the rocker 301 to perform rotational movement at the same time, achieving the following effect. Figure 4 In addition, the lifting portion 402 is also provided with a mounting groove 406, the bearing portion 403 is provided with a through slot 407, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0038] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the auxiliary lifting assembly 5 includes a sliding block 501 that is fitted on the rocker 301, and the sliding block 501 is located in the mounting groove 406 on the lifting portion 402. A transmission arm 502 is fixedly provided on the sliding block 501, and the end of the transmission arm 502 is rotatably connected to a transmission rod 503, and the other end of the transmission rod 503 is connected to a driven wheel assembly through an L-shaped connecting member 504; wherein the L-shaped connecting member 504 is composed of an integrally connected short side portion 505, a first rotating shaft 506, and a group of parallel long side portions 507, and the short side portion 505 is located in a Above the group of long sides 507, in addition, the short side 505 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 503, the first rotating shaft 506 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fork body 401, and the driven wheel assembly is provided between a group of long sides 507, and the driven wheel assembly includes a second rotating shaft 508 whose two ends are rotatably connected to the end of a group of long sides 507 respectively, and a group of parallel driven wheel brackets 509 are fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 508, and a group of driven wheels 510 are provided between a group of driven wheel brackets 509, and a group of driven wheels 510 are always in contact with the ground.
[0039] Based on the above embodiment, when the manual hydraulic assembly 1 outputs power and a group of fork bodies 401 follow the rocker 301 to move vertically upward, due to the setting of the boss 302, the sliding block 501 that is sleeved with the rocker 301 follows the rocker 301 to perform a bottom-up rotational movement toward the driven wheel assembly. On this basis, the transmission arm 502 on the sliding block 501 moves toward the driven wheel assembly and pushes the transmission rod 503 to move in the same direction. At this time, the transmission rod 503 also pushes the short side portion 505 in the direction of the driven wheel assembly. Since the L-shaped connecting member 504 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fork body 401 through the first rotating shaft 506, and the short side portion 505 is located above a group of long side portions 507, the long side portion 507 rotates from top to bottom with the first rotating shaft 506 as the axis in the direction close to the manual hydraulic assembly 1, achieving the following effect. Figure 6 In the structure shown, since a group of driven wheels are always in contact with the ground, the rotational motion of a group of long sides 507 is converted into the vertical upward lifting motion of the first rotating shaft 506, and the distance of the lifting motion is equal to the distance of the power output of the manual hydraulic component 1. In this process, a group of driven wheels adaptively rolls in the direction close to the manual hydraulic component 1 to complete the lifting action of the ground bull provided by the utility model.
[0040] Based on the whole process of the above-mentioned lifting action, it is shown that under the above-mentioned structure, the normal lifting action of the ground bull is not affected. It can be concluded that: as the core of the present invention, when a group of fork bodies 401 slide on the rocker 301 along the extension direction of the convenient surface of the rocker 301 through the lifting part 402, the lifting part 402, the sliding block 501 and the rocker 301 always maintain the above-mentioned matching mode, so that the distance between a group of fork bodies 401 becomes adjustable, but the normal lifting action of the ground bull is not affected, and the effect of using one ground bull to match pallets of various sizes is achieved, which improves the practicality and adaptability of the ground bull. On this basis, the distance range between a group of fork bodies 401 is 0~700mm.
[0041] In addition, in the floor bull under the structure provided by the present invention, its core bearing component for lifting is the boss 302 in the rocker assembly 3. Therefore, the present invention uses 40Cr as the material of the rocker assembly 3, and makes the width-adjustable floor bull mainly for use in conditions where the cargo tonnage is relatively small but the pallet sizes and specifications are diverse.
[0042] Specifically, when using the width-adjustable ground bull provided by the present invention to transport goods, first adjust the distance between a set of fork bodies 401 according to the gap at the bottom of the pallet, then the staff uses the handle 101 to push the ground bull, insert a set of fork bodies 401 into the gap at the bottom of the pallet, and then control the manual hydraulic component 1 to start working, complete the lifting of the goods by the ground bull, and the steering wheel 102 and the driven wheel 510 cooperate to transport and place the goods.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
