Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a modular transportation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electric motors are indispensable power equipment in modern industry, widely used in fields such as power, chemical, metallurgy, and transportation. After prolonged operation, motors may experience wear or aging, making regular maintenance crucial for ensuring their normal operation. Maintenance often involves disassembling the motor into its stator, rotor, and other components, then transporting them to a specialized maintenance area for detailed inspection and repair.

[0003] Due to the large weight of components in large motors, overhead cranes or heavy-duty component conveyor lines are often used for transportation. Overhead crane operations are limited by factory height and spatial layout, are complex to operate, and are prone to safety accidents. Heavy-duty component conveyor lines are safer and can achieve continuous transport, making them widely used for transporting motor components.

[0004] However, the layout of heavy component conveyor lines is relatively fixed, and some key equipment in heavy component conveyor lines are quite large, making the heavy component conveyor lines themselves less flexible and difficult to adapt their positions to different application scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular transportation device to solve the problem that existing workpiece transportation devices are not flexible enough and cannot adapt their position to different application scenarios.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Modular transport equipment, including:

[0008] The vehicle module includes a frame and wheels, the wheels are mounted on the bottom of the frame, and a first protrusion is provided on the frame;

[0009] The drive mechanism includes a power source, synchronous pulleys, a flexible element, and a mounting base. At least two synchronous pulleys are spaced apart from each other along the length of the mounting base and are rotatably connected to the mounting base. The power source is driven and connected to one of the synchronous pulleys. The flexible element is wound around each of the synchronous pulleys. The flexible element is provided with a plurality of second protrusions spaced apart along the length of the mounting base. Any second protrusion can abut against a first protrusion to drive the trolley module to move.

[0010] In one embodiment, the trolley module further includes a storage component, which includes a storage plate and a first limiting member for restricting the position of the workpiece. The storage plate is detachably connected to the top of the frame, and the first limiting member is disposed on the storage plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the placement plate has at least two limiting holes, each of which is connected to a first limiting member, and the at least two first limiting members together form a first limiting space for limiting the position of the workpiece.

[0012] In one embodiment, the top of the vehicle frame is provided with a plurality of second limiting members, which together form a second limiting space, and the storage component is limited within the second limiting space.

[0013] In one embodiment, handles are provided on opposite sides of the storage component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the frame further includes a support assembly disposed at the bottom of the frame, the length of the support assembly being adjustable.

[0015] In one embodiment, the support assembly includes a support rod, a support base, and an elastic element. The upper end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame, and the lower end of the support rod is elastically connected to the support base through the elastic element.

[0016] In one embodiment, the bottom area of ​​the support base is larger than the bottom area of ​​the support rod.

[0017] In one embodiment, the flexible member is provided with a plurality of position sensors spaced apart along the length of the mounting base.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first protrusion is provided on both opposite sides of the vehicle frame, and the modular transportation equipment includes two drive mechanisms, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the vehicle module.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

The trolley module includes a frame and wheels, with the wheels mounted on the bottom of the frame. A first protrusion is provided on the frame. The drive structure includes a power source, synchronous pulleys, a flexible component, and a mounting base. At least two synchronous pulleys are spaced apart along the length of the mounting base and rotatably connected to it. The power source is driven by one of the synchronous pulleys. The flexible component is wound around the synchronous pulley, and multiple second protrusions are spaced apart along the length of the mounting base. Any second protrusion can abut against a first protrusion to drive the trolley module to move.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1-7As shown, this embodiment provides a modular transportation device, including a trolley module 1 and a drive mechanism 2. The trolley module 1 is used to load and transport workpieces, and includes a frame 11 and wheels 12. The wheels 12 are mounted on the bottom of the frame 11, and the frame 11 is provided with a first protrusion 111. The drive mechanism 2 provides driving force to the trolley module 1, and includes a power source 21, synchronous pulleys 22, flexible members 23, and a mounting base 24. At least two synchronous pulleys 22 are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting base 24 and are rotatably connected to the mounting base 24. The power source 21 is driven and connected to one of the synchronous pulleys 22. The flexible members 23 are wound around the synchronous pulleys 22, and the flexible members 23 are provided with a plurality of second protrusions 25 spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting base 24. The second protrusions 25 are at the same horizontal height as the first protrusions 111. Any second protrusion 25 can abut against the first protrusion 111 to drive the trolley module 1 to move.

[0035] This modular transport equipment essentially separates the load-bearing and driving functions of a transport system. The driving mechanism 2 used is simpler and lighter than existing heavy-duty component conveyor lines. When applied to different work scenarios, this modular transport equipment can be divided into two parts, the trolley module 1 and the driving mechanism 2, for positional adjustments. The trolley module 1 is equipped with wheels 12 at its bottom, providing high mobility. This modular transport equipment improves mobility while ensuring safety and continuous transport, adapting to different transport needs in various work scenarios. Furthermore, when loading workpieces, the trolley module 1 can detach from the driving mechanism 2 and move to the vicinity of the workpiece for loading, further enhancing the flexibility of the modular transport equipment.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a first protrusion 111 is usually provided on both sides of the frame 11. The modular transport equipment includes two drive mechanisms 2, which are located on the opposite sides of the trolley module 1. The drive mechanisms 2 drive the trolley module 1 to move synchronously from both sides of the trolley module 1. Compared with only one drive mechanism 2, this method makes the movement of the trolley module 1 more stable.

[0037] Preferably, if Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the trolley module 1 also includes a storage component 13, which includes a storage plate 131 and a first limiting member 132 disposed on the storage plate 131. The first limiting member 132 is used to limit and fix the workpiece loaded on the storage plate 131, ensuring the stability of the workpiece during transportation and improving the safety of the modular transportation equipment during workpiece transportation. The storage plate 131 is detachably connected to the top of the frame 11. When it is necessary to load or unload workpieces onto or from the modular transportation equipment, the storage component 13 can be separated from the frame 11 and manually handled or hoisted to the target location, improving the convenience of loading or unloading workpieces with the modular transportation equipment.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the frame 11 is provided with multiple second limiting members 112, which together form a second limiting space. The storage component 13 is installed within this second limiting space. The workpieces transported by the modular transport equipment are generally of large mass. When the drive mechanism 2 drives the trolley module 1 to move, the storage component 13 is prone to relative sliding with the frame 11, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, multiple second limiting members 112 are provided on the top of the frame 11 to limit the storage component 13, preventing relative sliding between the storage component 13 and the frame 11 and improving the overall safety of the modular transport equipment. In this embodiment, the second limiting members 112 include four limiting plates disposed on the top of the frame 11, which together form the second limiting space.

[0039] Furthermore, the first limiting member 132 is detachably connected to the placement plate 131. When the transported workpiece has a relatively stable structure or a large volume, the first limiting member 132 can be removed from the placement plate 131, and the workpiece can be loaded only through the placement plate 131; or different first limiting members 132 can be replaced according to the different workpieces being transported.

[0040] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shelf 131 has two limiting holes 1311, and a first limiting member 132 is inserted into each limiting hole 1311. The two first limiting members 132 together form a first limiting space to limit and fix the transported workpiece. The first limiting member 132 is inserted into the shelf 131 through the limiting hole 1311, making it easy to install and remove. In other embodiments, the connection between the first limiting member 132 and the shelf 131 can be replaced by a screw connection or a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, handles 133 are provided on opposite sides of the storage component 13. When it is necessary to move the storage component 13, it can be manually moved or hoisted by lifting equipment through the handles 133, which improves the ease of use of the storage component 13.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the frame 11 also includes a support assembly 113, which is located at the bottom of the frame 11 and has an adjustable length. When the trolley module 1 is not performing the function of transporting workpieces, the length of the support assembly 113 can be adjusted to allow the wheels 12 to suspend in the air. The support assembly 113 then supports the trolley module 1. Compared to the wheels 12 supporting the trolley module 1, the support provided by the support assembly 113 is more stable. In this case, the trolley module 1 can be used as a workbench.

[0043] Specifically, the support assembly 113 includes a support rod 1131, a support base 1132, and an elastic element. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the support rod 1131 is fixedly connected to the frame 11, and the bottom end of the support rod 1131 is elastically connected to the support base 1132 through an elastic element. The support assembly 113 automatically adjusts its length via an elastic element disposed between the support rod 1131 and the support base 1132. When the trolley module 1 is not loaded with a workpiece, the elastic element bears less pressure, resulting in a longer support assembly 113. In this case, the wheels 12 are suspended, and the trolley module 1 can be used as a stable workbench. When the trolley module 1 is loaded with a workpiece, the elastic element shortens due to increased pressure, thereby shortening the support assembly 113. The wheels 12 then contact the ground and can move under the drive of the drive mechanism 2. Optionally, a small lifting device can be added to each support rod 1131. The output end of the small lifting device is detachably connected to the support base 1132. When the trolley module 1 is loaded with a workpiece, the output end of the small lifting device can be connected to the support base 1132. Operating the small lifting device raises the support base 1132, preventing it from contacting the ground and hindering the movement of the trolley module 1. For example, the elastic element can be a compression spring disposed between the support rod 1131 and the support base 1132.

[0044] Furthermore, the bottom area of ​​the support base 1132 is larger than the bottom area of ​​the support rod 1131. When the support base 1132 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 1131, the support component 113 provides more stable support for the trolley module 1.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the power source 21 of the drive mechanism 2 uses an electric motor, which reduces the overall noise of the modular transport equipment. The flexible component 23 can be a chain, conveyor belt, or rope, which can be bent and twisted to a certain extent without damage. Furthermore, multiple support columns are spaced apart at the lower part of the mounting base 24, and each support column has a support base at its lower end, so that the drive mechanism 2 can be stably set on the ground without tipping over. The drive mechanism 2 is also equipped with an intelligent control system, which is signal-connected to the power source 21. Through the intelligent control system, the trolley module 1 can be automatically transferred to any position.

[0046] Optionally, the flexible component 23 is provided with multiple position sensors at intervals along the length of the mounting base 24, which can determine the position of the trolley module 1 in real time and remotely monitor the position of the trolley module 1. The position sensors are also connected to the intelligent control system signal.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
