[0030] In the related art, most transport trucks insert a frame fork directly into the bottom of the cargo to be transported, then lift the cargo to a certain height through manual pressure or electric hydraulic means. Once the cargo is off the ground, it can be moved and transported. The frame fork of the transport truck is located above the wheels, and the frame fork and the wheels are inserted into the bottom of the cargo to perform the lifting operation.

[0031] However, the cabinets in the data center's computer room are close to the ground, and the frame forks along with the wheels cannot be directly inserted into the bottom of the cabinets. They need to be manually moved to the frame forks, which causes the cabinets to easily tilt and damage the internal components of the cabinets, posing a safety hazard.

[0032] To address the above-mentioned issues, the present application provides a cabinet transport device comprising: a frame and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly comprises a lifting member disposed on the frame and a plurality of lifting claws disposed at the front end of the frame and extending forward from the frame. The plurality of lifting claws are adapted to abut against a support surface and are transmission-connected to the lifting member. The plurality of lifting claws are adapted to carry the cabinet to be transported, and the lifting member is adapted to drive the lifting claws to reciprocate in a first direction. A support assembly is hingedly connected to both sides of the frame and configured to rotate toward the lifting claws and abut against the support surface to maintain balance between the frame and the lifting claws.

[0033] When the cabinet needs to be lifted, the lifting claws that are in contact with the supporting surface are directly inserted into the bottom of the cabinet. At the same time, the supporting assembly is rotated toward the lifting claws, and the bottom surface of the supporting assembly is abutted against the supporting surface. The height of the lifting claws is adjusted using the lifting piece. The supporting assembly abuts against the supporting surface to provide supporting force, which can support the frame and the lifting claws to maintain balance. This ensures that the lifting claws can be directly inserted into the bottom of the cabinet for the jacking operation, and ensures that the cabinet remains balanced during the jacking operation, thereby preventing the internal components of the cabinet from being damaged due to tilting.

[0034] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The present application provides a cabinet transport device, combined with Figures 1 to 4 Shown, including

[0036] Frame 100;

[0037] The lifting assembly 200 includes a lifting member 210 disposed on the frame 100 and a plurality of lifting claws 220 disposed at the front end of the frame 100 and extending forward from the frame 100. The plurality of lifting claws 220 are adapted to be attached to a supporting surface and are in transmission connection with the lifting member 210. The plurality of lifting claws 220 are adapted to carry the cabinet 600 to be transported. The lifting member 210 is adapted to drive the lifting claws 220 to reciprocate in a first direction.

[0038] The support assembly 300 is hinged to both sides of the vehicle frame 100 . The support assembly 300 is configured to rotate toward the lifting claw 220 and abut against the support surface to maintain the balance of the vehicle frame 100 and the lifting claw 220 .

[0039] It is understandable that the bottom of the cabinet 600 is relatively close to the support surface, and the cabinet 600 contains numerous precision components, making it unsuitable for the cabinet 600 to tilt or shake during transport. However, conventional transport trucks are located at a relatively high distance from the support surface, requiring manual transport of the cabinet 600 onto the truck for subsequent transportation. This can easily cause the cabinet 600 to tilt, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, the lifting claw 220 used to support the cabinet 600 to be transported can be positioned at the front end of the frame 100 and extend forward from the frame 100 so that the lifting claw 220 can fit closely to the support surface, thereby eliminating the need for manual transport of the cabinet 600. Furthermore, a support assembly 300 is provided on the side of the frame 100 so that the support assembly 300 serves as a fulcrum during the lifting operation, maintaining the balance between the frame 100 and the lifting claw 220.

[0040] Specific, combined Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the cabinet 600 needs to be lifted, the lifting claws 220 that are in contact with the supporting surface are directly inserted into the bottom of the cabinet 600. At the same time, the support assembly 300 is rotated toward the lifting claws 220, and the bottom surface of the support assembly 300 is abutted against the supporting surface. The height of the lifting claws 220 is adjusted using the lifting member 210. The support assembly 300 abuts against the supporting surface to provide a supporting force, which can support the frame 100 and the lifting claws 220 to maintain balance, ensuring that the lifting claws 220 can be directly inserted into the bottom of the cabinet 600 for the lifting operation, and ensuring that the cabinet 600 can maintain balance during the lifting operation, thereby preventing the internal components of the cabinet 600 from being damaged due to tilting.

[0041] Of course, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, there may be some exposed precision components at the bottom of the cabinet 600. During transportation, in order to prevent the lifting claws 220 from damaging the precision components when inserting into the bottom of the cabinet 600, the length of the claws of the lifting claws 220 can be reduced, and the transport devices of the two cabinets can be operated simultaneously during transportation so that the transport devices of the two cabinets are respectively inserted into the opposite sides of the bottom of the cabinet 600. This not only prevents the lifting claws 220 from damaging some exposed precision components at the bottom of the cabinet 600, but also maintains balance, avoids damage to the cabinet 600, and facilitates transportation.

[0042] Among them, in some possible implementations, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 300 includes a support rod 310 and a pressure-bearing member 320. One end of the support rod 310 is hinged to the frame 100. The pressure-bearing member 320 includes a guide rod 321 and a support leg 322 connected to the guide rod 321. The guide rod 321 is connected to the support rod 310 and moves along a first direction to drive the support leg 322 to contact or separate from the support surface.

[0043] Specific, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the support rod 310 is hinged to the frame 100. When the lifting claw 220 is inserted into the bottom of the cabinet 600 for lifting operation, the support rod 310 can be rotated toward the lifting claw 220 at the same time, so that the support rod 310 is located on both sides of the lifting claw 220, and the guide rod 321 is driven along the first direction so that the support leg 322 abuts against the supporting surface to form a fulcrum, thereby avoiding rollover during the lifting process of the cabinet 600.

[0044] Among them, the guide rod 321 can be threadedly connected to the support rod 310 and can move relative to the support rod 310 along a first direction to adjust the distance between the support leg 322 and the supporting surface, so as to flexibly adjust whether the support assembly 300 serves as a fulcrum to balance the frame 100 and the lifting claw 220 according to actual conditions.

[0045] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a magnetic element is provided on the contact side of the support rod 310 and the frame 100. In this way, when not being carried out, the support rod 310 can be adsorbed on the side of the frame 100 by the magnetic element for easy storage.

[0046] Among them, in some possible implementations, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the frame 100 includes a load-bearing plate 110, a fixed plate 120 and a plurality of running wheels 130 installed below the load-bearing plate 110, the fixed plate 120 is connected to the load-bearing plate 110, the lifting member 210 is arranged on the load-bearing plate 110, the lifting claw 220 is connected to the fixed plate 120, and the bottom of the lifting claw 220 is in contact with the support surface.

[0047] Specific, combined Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the walking wheel 130 is arranged under the supporting plate 110 to drive the frame 100 to move, the fixing plate 120 is connected to the supporting plate 110, and the lifting claw 220 is arranged in front of the supporting plate 110 and connected to the fixing plate 120 so that the lifting claw 220 can fit the support surface.

[0048] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet 600 further includes a plurality of guide rails 400 disposed on the fixing plate 120 and extending in a first direction. The lifting claw 220 is connected to the guide rails 400 and moves along the extending direction of the guide rails 400. This arrangement allows the lifting claw 220 to move along the guide rails 400 during movement in the first direction, thereby preventing the lifting claw 220 from shifting or shaking, and reducing the risk of the cabinet 600 tilting or falling.

[0049] In some possible implementations, the lifting claw 220 may be an alloy claw to prevent the lifting claw 220 from being damaged during transportation. In addition, the lifting claw 220 may be an integrally formed structure to further enhance the rigidity of the lifting claw 220.

[0050] In some possible implementations, the lifting claw 220 is provided with an anti-slip block having a rough surface. It is understood that multiple anti-slip blocks may be provided on the side where the lifting claw 220 releases from the cabinet 600, spaced apart along the extension direction of the lifting claw 220. The anti-slip blocks may have a rough surface. Such an arrangement increases friction between the lifting claw 220 and the cabinet 600 during transportation, preventing the cabinet 600 from falling.

[0051] Among them, in some possible implementations, combined with Figures 1 to 4As shown, the lifting member 210 can be a hydraulic jack to drive the lifting claw 220 to move, thereby achieving the effect of lifting the cabinet 600. Of course, a motor is also included, which is connected to the lifting member 210 to automatically increase or release the hydraulic function through the motor to achieve the lifting operation.

[0052] Of course, in other implementations, the lifting member 210 may also be a manual jack or a pneumatic jack, and the specific type is not limited, as long as it can drive the lifting claw 220 to lift the cabinet 600.

[0053] Among them, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly 200 further includes a controller 230 disposed on the vehicle frame 100 , and the controller 230 is connected to the lifting member 210 .

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the controller 230 can be set on the supporting plate 110, and the controller 230 is electrically connected to the lifting member 210. By operating the controller 230 to output a signal, the lifting member 210 is controlled to work, thereby driving the lifting claw 220 to move along the first direction, thereby being able to lift the cabinet 600 for transportation.

[0055] Among them, in some possible implementations, combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the vehicle further includes a reversing assembly 500 , which includes an adjusting rod 510 and a handle 520 . One end of the adjusting rod 510 is hinged to the vehicle frame 100 , and the other end of the adjusting rod 510 is connected to the handle 520 .

[0056] Specifically, a hinge seat can be provided on the frame 100, and the adjusting rod 510 is hinged to the hinge seat. When a transport operation is required, the staff can drive the adjusting rod 510 by pushing the handle 520, thereby pushing the frame 100 and the lifting claw 220 to move to the position of the cabinet 600 to be transported and stop. The rotation angle range of the adjusting rod 510 on the hinge seat is 0-270 degrees, so that the rotation direction of the adjusting rod 510 can be adjusted according to the position of the cabinet 600 to be transported, which facilitates the moving operation in a small space.

[0057] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present application after considering the specification and practicing the utility model disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The description and examples are to be considered as exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the present application are indicated by the following claims.

[0058] It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exact structure described above and shown in the drawings, and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present application is limited only by the appended claims.
