Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel hub transportation technology, and more specifically, to a wheel hub transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] The common method for transferring wheel hubs in the current technology is to place the wheel hubs flat on a pallet and then move them using a forklift. However, this method has a series of obvious drawbacks.

[0003] Placing wheel hubs flat on pallets presents several problems. Due to their flat shape, a significant amount of horizontal space is occupied, limiting the number of hubs that can fit on a pallet of the same size. This results in low space utilization, increasing the number of pallets used and storage costs. Increasing the number of stacked wheel hubs on a pallet to accommodate more hubs can lead to problems. Excessive stacking can cause damage to the bottom hubs, and during transport, stacked hubs are prone to falling, damaging the hubs and posing serious safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In existing technologies, when wheel hubs are placed flat on a pallet, a large amount of horizontal space is occupied due to the flat shape of the wheel hubs, resulting in a limited number of wheel hubs that can be placed on a pallet of the same size. In order to place more wheel hubs on the pallet, the number of wheel hubs stacked is increased. However, excessively high stacks may not only cause damage to the bottom wheel hubs due to pressure, but also make the wheel hubs prone to falling during transportation, which not only damages the wheel hubs but also poses serious safety hazards. This utility model proposes a wheel hub transportation device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0006] A wheel hub transfer device includes a tray; a mounting base is fixed to the upper surface of the tray, and multiple parallel fixing rods are fixed to the upper surface of the mounting base. A mounting groove for vertically placing a wheel hub is formed between two adjacent fixing rods. When the wheel hub is placed into the mounting groove, the outer side wall of the wheel hub abuts against the inner side wall of the mounting groove.

[0007] By setting mounting seats and fixing rods on the pallet to form mounting slots, a dedicated vertical placement space is provided for the wheel hub. The design of the mounting slots allows the wheel hub to be accurately positioned and accommodated. The abutment between the inner wall of the mounting slot and the outer wall of the wheel hub secures the wheel hub. By locking the wheel hub into the mounting slot, it is fixed in place, avoiding damage caused by shaking and collisions during transportation, and ensuring the stability and safety of the wheel hub during transport.

[0008] Preferably, fixing posts are provided at the four corners of the lower end face of the mounting base, and fixing holes for the fixing posts to be inserted are provided on the upper end face of the tray.

[0009] Different wheel hubs have different thicknesses and sizes, so it is necessary to select the appropriate mounting base according to the actual size of the wheel hub. The mounting base is installed on the tray in a better way by using a combination of fixing posts and fixing blocks, while also making it easy to replace the required mounting base.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting base has a ramp fixed on its side wall, and the pallet has a forklift hole. When the mounting base is fixed on the pallet, the ramp is located on the side wall of the pallet where the forklift hole is not provided.

[0011] The ramp facilitates the sliding of the wheel hub into the mounting slot from the outside, reducing the difficulty and labor intensity of manual wheel hub loading and unloading, and improving loading and unloading efficiency. The forklift holes on the pallet facilitate the insertion of forklift forks, enabling the handling of the entire pallet and wheel hub. Positioning the ramp on the side wall without forklift holes avoids structural conflicts between the ramp and the forklift holes, ensuring the ramp's normal use without hindering forklift operation, making the entire design more rational and practical.

[0012] Preferably, there are two ramps, which are respectively located on both sides of the mounting base.

[0013] The mounting base features ramps on both sides, allowing operators to load and unload wheel hubs from different directions without having to go around to a specific side, greatly improving operational flexibility and convenience. Especially in environments with limited space or complex workflows, the ramps on both sides significantly shorten loading and unloading time, improve work efficiency, and also facilitate assembly line operations, adapting to large-scale wheel hub transfer needs.

[0014] Preferably, when the mounting base is fixed on the tray, the lower end face of the ramp is flush with the lower end face of the tray.

[0015] When the lower end face of the ramp is flush with the lower end face of the tray, the entire device remains stable when placed on the ground or other supporting surfaces. During the loading and unloading of wheel hubs, the device will not tilt or become unstable due to the protrusion of the ramp, reducing safety hazards caused by device imbalance.

[0016] As a preferred option, multiple guide rods are provided on the slope, and guide grooves are formed between adjacent guide rods, with each guide groove corresponding to a mounting groove.

[0017] The guide rod and guide groove provide accurate guidance for the wheel hub to slide in or out. As the wheel hub slides down the ramp, the guide groove restricts the direction of movement, ensuring it accurately enters the corresponding mounting slot. This prevents the wheel hub from deviating from its position or colliding with other components during the descent, further improving the accuracy and efficiency of loading and unloading, and reducing wheel hub damage and time wastage caused by operational errors.

[0018] As a preferred option, multiple fixing blocks are fixed in the mounting slot, and the side wall of the fixing blocks is provided with an arc-shaped slope that matches the outer circumferential surface of the wheel hub. When the wheel hub is placed in the mounting slot, the outer circumferential surface of the wheel hub abuts against the arc-shaped slope.

[0019] The curved slope, in conjunction with the outer circumference of the wheel hub, allows for more precise positioning of the hub, limiting its movement within the mounting groove and ensuring a more fixed and accurate position. This increases the contact area between the hub and the mounting groove, thereby improving the hub's stability within the groove and reducing swaying during transportation or handling. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents direct contact between hubs, minimizing collisions and friction, reducing the likelihood of surface damage, and ensuring the hub's quality and appearance remain intact.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, a wheel hub transfer device includes a tray 110. A mounting base 120 is fixed to the upper surface of the tray 110. Five parallel fixing rods 1201 are fixed to the upper surface of the mounting base 120. A mounting groove 130 for vertically placing a wheel hub is formed between adjacent fixing rods 1201. There are four mounting grooves 130. When a wheel hub is placed in a mounting groove 130, the outer side wall of the wheel hub abuts against the inner side wall of the mounting groove 130. Fixing posts 1202 are provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the mounting base 120. Fixing holes 1101 for inserting the fixing posts 1202 are provided on the upper surface of the tray 110. Multiple fixing blocks 140 are fixed within the mounting grooves 130. The side walls of the fixing blocks 140 are provided with arc-shaped slopes 150 that mate with the outer circumferential surface of the wheel hub. When the wheel hub is placed in the mounting groove 130, the outer circumferential surface of the wheel hub abuts against the arc-shaped slopes 150.

[0029] The mounting base 120 has ramps 1203 fixed on its left and right side walls. The pallet 110 has forklift holes 1102. When the mounting base 120 is fixed on the pallet 110, the ramps 1203 are located on the side wall of the pallet 110 where the forklift holes 1102 are not provided. When the mounting base 120 is fixed on the pallet 110, the lower end face of the ramps 1203 is flush with the lower end face of the pallet 110. The ramps 1203 are provided with multiple guide rods 1204, and guide grooves 1205 are formed between adjacent guide rods 1204. The guide grooves 1205 correspond one-to-one with the mounting grooves 130.

[0030] The usage process and principle of the wheel hub transfer device in this embodiment are as follows: Select a suitable mounting base 120 according to the wheel hub size. Precisely insert the mounting base 120 into the corresponding fixing holes 1101 on the upper surface of the tray 110 via the fixing posts 1202 at the four corners of its lower end face, ensuring a firm and stable connection between the mounting base 120 and the tray 110. The operator pushes the wheel hub into the mounting groove 130 along the guide groove 1205. This guide design effectively avoids collisions between the wheel hub and the fixing rod 1201 during the loading process.

[0031] Once the wheel hub successfully enters the mounting slot 130, its outer sidewall abuts tightly against the inner sidewall of the mounting slot 130, thus limiting and fixing the wheel hub. Rubber pads can be placed on the inner sidewall of the mounting slot 130 to enhance the fixing effect on the wheel hub and prevent wear between the wheel hub and the inner wall of the mounting slot 130. Simultaneously, the outer circumference of the wheel hub perfectly fits the carefully designed curved slope 150 on the sidewall of the fixing block 140. This fit not only provides strong support for the wheel hub in the vertical direction but also further enhances the stability of the wheel hub within the mounting slot 130, effectively preventing it from bouncing or shaking during transport.

[0032] After using a forklift to transfer pallet 110 to the designated location, the workers then remove the wheel hub from the mounting slot 130, allowing the wheel hub to roll along the guide slot 1205 to the ground, and then proceed with the wheel hub unloading work.

[0033] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this embodiment. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of this embodiment shall fall within the scope of the patent of this embodiment.
