Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts transportation equipment technology, specifically to a loading device for inter-factory shipment of wheel arches. Background Technology

[0002] Wheel arches, also known as wheel mudguards or tire mudguards, are plastic or metal parts installed above the tires of a car. Their main function is to prevent mud, stones, and other debris from splashing onto the car body or windows during driving, keeping the vehicle clean and aesthetically pleasing.

[0003] Due to bumps and vibrations during transportation, car wheel arches may be impacted or squeezed, leading to deformation or breakage. Alternatively, if the wheel arches are not securely fastened, they may detach during transport, causing damage. Therefore, shock-absorbing materials are typically used during the transport of car wheel arches. For example, foam or bubble wrap can be used to wrap them to reduce impacts and vibrations during transport. Alternatively, positioning devices can be installed within the transport vehicle to place the wheel arches sequentially.

[0004] However, because the wheel arches of automobiles have an arc-shaped structure, when multiple positioning devices are installed on the transport device, the distance between the wheel arches is small, making it inconvenient to load and remove the wheel arches. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described below do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. They are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the claims.

[0037] Wheel arches, also known as wheel mudguards or tire mudguards, are plastic or metal components installed above car tires. Their main function is to prevent mud, stones, and other debris from splashing onto the car body or windows during driving, keeping the vehicle clean and aesthetically pleasing. Due to bumps and vibrations during transport, wheel arches may be impacted or squeezed, causing deformation or breakage. Alternatively, if the wheel arches are not securely fastened, they may detach during transport, resulting in damage. Therefore, shock-absorbing materials are typically used during the transport of wheel arches. For example, foam or bubble wrap can be used to wrap them to reduce impacts and vibrations during transport. Alternatively, positioning devices can be installed within the transport unit to place the wheel arches sequentially. However, because wheel arches have a curved structure, multiple positioning devices in the transport unit result in small gaps between the wheel arches, making loading and unloading inconvenient.

[0038] To address the issue of insufficient spacing between wheel arches, which hinders loading and unloading, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 This application provides a loading device for inter-factory shipment of wheel arches, comprising:

[0039] Outer frame 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer frame 1 includes symmetrically arranged first columns 11 and symmetrically arranged second columns 12; the first column 11 and the adjacent second column 12 are connected by a first connecting column 13; the second column 12 are connected by a second connecting column 14; wherein, the bottom of the outer frame 1 is a cuboid structure, the first column 11 and the second column 12 are perpendicular to the bottom of the outer frame 1, the first column 11 and the adjacent second column 12 are directly connected by connecting columns, and the second columns 12 are connected to each other by connecting columns, so that the outer frame 1 forms a rectangular frame structure with two open ends.

[0040] Top cover 2, top cover 2 is rotatably connected to the second connecting post 14 via hinge 21; wherein, as Figure 6 As shown, the top cover 2 is a rectangular frame structure. One side of the top cover 2 is rotatably connected to the second connecting post 14 via a hinge 21. During transportation, the top cover 2 can be fastened to the outer frame 1, and the movement of the wheel arches inside the outer frame 1 can be restricted by the top cover 2. When it is necessary to remove the wheel arches loaded inside the outer frame, the top cover 2 can be opened to facilitate the removal of the wheel arches by the staff.

[0041] Several support components 3 are arranged sequentially along the vertical direction;

[0042] Among them, the structure of support component 3 is as follows Figure 5As shown, the support assembly 3 includes a crossbeam 31, side beams 32 disposed on both sides of the crossbeam 31, and a connecting frame 33. The crossbeam 31 has a plurality of first grooves 311 evenly distributed along its length; the side beams 32 have a plurality of second grooves 321 evenly distributed along their length; the number of first grooves 311 and second grooves 321 is the same; the horizontal height of the crossbeam 31 is greater than the horizontal height of the side beams 32; one end of the connecting frame 33 is rotatably connected to the second column 12. Since the wheel arch is an arc-shaped structure, the height of the side beams 32 is set lower, and the height of the crossbeam 31 is set higher, so that the crossbeam 31 and the two side beams 32 form a triangular structure. For example, the crossbeam 31 is set perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the angle between the side beams 32 and the horizontal plane is set at 45°, so that the crossbeam 31 and the two side beams 32 are arranged in an arc shape. A positioning plane is formed by the first groove 311 and the second grooves 321 on both sides of the first groove 311. When loading the wheel arch, the center point of the wheel arch is embedded in the first groove 311, and the positions on both sides of the center point of the wheel arch are embedded in the second grooves 321. The wheel arch can be positioned by the first groove 311 and the two second grooves 321.

[0043] Since the crossbeam 31 has several first grooves 311 along its length and the side beam 32 has several second grooves 321 along its length, when loading wheel arches, the wheel arches can be sequentially embedded into the first grooves 311 and the second grooves 321 along the length of the crossbeam 31, so that the wheel arches can be loaded into the support device at equal intervals.

[0044] One end of the connecting frame 33 is provided with a rotating shaft 333, and the second column 12 is provided with a rotating ring 122. The rotating shaft 333 is inserted into the rotating ring 122 to make the connecting frame 33 and the second column 12 rotatably connected.

[0045] The first receiving box 4 is set between the second pillars 12, and the second receiving box 5 is set between the first pillars 11. When the wheel arch is positioned by the crossbeam 31 and the side beam 32, the two ends of the wheel arch are respectively inserted into the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5.

[0046] The number of the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5 is the same as the number of the support components 3; wherein, when two support components 3 are provided inside the outer frame 1, the first receiving box 4 is configured as two layers, such as... Figure 9 As shown, two trapezoidal first receiving boxes 4 are stacked together. The lower first receiving box 4 is used in conjunction with the lower support component 3, and the upper first receiving box 4 is used in conjunction with the higher support component 3.

[0047] The first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5 are each provided with a number of third grooves 45. The third grooves 45, the first groove 311 and the second groove 321 on the same plane are used to define the position of the wheel arch.

[0048] The first receiving box 4, the second receiving box 5, the crossbeam 31, and the side beam 32 are used to define the position of the wheel arch; for example Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, both the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5 are provided with a third groove 45. When loading the wheel arch, one end of the wheel arch is inserted into the third groove 45 of the first receiving box 4, and the other end of the wheel arch is inserted into the third groove 45 of the second receiving box 5. Through the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5, on the one hand, the wheel arch can be restricted from rotating along the first groove 311 and the second groove 321. On the other hand, the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5 can protect the two ends of the wheel arch to avoid the two ends of the wheel arch from bumping.

[0049] One side of the top cover 2 abuts against the crossbeam 31. After the wheel arches are loaded onto the crossbeam 31, the top cover 2 can be fastened so that the top cover 2 abuts against the crossbeam 31, restricting the movement of the wheel arches and improving the stability of the wheel arches during transportation.

[0050] The gas spring 6, the second column 12 with a first connecting piece 121, and the connecting frame 33 with a second connecting piece 332 are connected by the gas spring 6. The gas spring 6 is a mechanical device that uses internal air pressure to achieve telescopic movement. It consists of a closed gas-filled container, a gas spring cylinder, and a movable piston rod. When the piston rod is subjected to an external force, it moves within the gas spring cylinder, compressing the internal gas and generating an elastic force to resist the external force. For example, when two sets of support components 3 are installed inside the outer frame 1, and a wheel arch needs to be loaded into the lower support component 3, the higher support component 3 needs to be rotated. After rotating the connecting frame 33 and loading the wheel arch into the lower support component 3, the higher support component 3 needs to be reset. Since the support component 3 is connected to the second receiving box 5, a large supporting force is required when the operator resets the support component 3 to prevent it from resetting too quickly. The gas spring 6 on the second column 12 provides a smooth and controllable force output, allowing the support component 3 to reset slowly.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting part 22 is provided on one side of the top cover 2, and the limiting part 22 is provided with an L-shaped through hole. The first connecting post 13 is provided with a limiting post 131, which is inserted into the L-shaped through hole. The limiting part 22 is rotatably connected to the top cover 2. When the top cover 2 is opened, the limiting part 22 will rotate with the movement of the top cover 2. At this time, the position of the limiting post 131 in the L-shaped through hole will change accordingly. When the top cover 2 is fully opened, the limiting post 131 is located at the bend of the L-shaped through hole. When the staff is no longer supporting the top cover 2, the limiting post 131 abuts against the L-shaped through hole. The limiting post 131 can keep the top cover 2 in the open state without the need for staff support.

[0052] In some embodiments, a connecting portion 331 is provided at the end of the connecting frame 33 away from the second column 12, and the second receiving box 5 is connected to the connecting frame 33 through the connecting portion 331. When the connecting frame 33 is rotated, the second receiving box 5 can rotate along with the connecting frame 33 after the upper wheel arch has been unloaded. After unloading the upper wheel arch, the connecting frame 33 can be rotated to increase the distance between the two support components 3, freeing up space and facilitating the unloading of the lower wheel arch from the support component 3 by the operator.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first column 11 is provided with a first pin 111, and the top cover 2 is provided with a second pin 23. The first pin 111 and the second pin 23 are hollow cylindrical structures. When the top cover 2 abuts against the first column 11, the first pin 111 and the second pin 23 are coaxial, and the first column 11 is connected to the top cover 2 through a pin.

[0054] When the top cover 2 abuts against the first column 11, the first locking pin 111 and the second locking pin 23 are coaxial, meaning the hollow parts of the first locking pin 111 and the second locking pin 23 are aligned, forming a straight channel. The pin is a metal rod that passes through the hollow parts of the first locking pin 111 and the second locking pin 23, connecting the top cover 2 and the outer frame 1 together. When the top cover 2 needs to be opened, the pin can be removed. By setting the locking pins and the pin, the top cover 2 and the outer frame 1 can be quickly connected and disassembled, reducing the number of steps required.

[0055] In some embodiments, rollers 7 are provided at the ends of the first column 11 and the second column 12 furthest from the top cover 2. These rollers 7 are divided into directional rollers and omnidirectional rollers; each roller 7 on the first column 11 and the second column 12 includes one directional roller and one omnidirectional roller. The main function of the directional roller is to control the direction of travel, ensuring stability during straight-line movement while loading. By locking the rotation axis, the directional roller can effectively limit lateral movement. The omnidirectional roller allows movement in any direction, enhancing the maneuverability and flexibility of the loading device. The rollers 7 facilitate the movement of the loading device.

[0056] In some embodiments, a ground brake 8 is also included, which is connected to the outer frame 1 and disposed between the first column 11 and the second column 12. The ground brake 8 can be fixed to the bottom of the outer frame 1 by means of a base plate connection or welding. In use, when the foot pedal is pressed, the ground brake 8 rises and comes into contact with the ground, increasing the friction between the loading device and the ground, thus maintaining the stability of the loading device. The spring built into the ground brake 8 ensures that the polyurethane foot pads are in close contact with the ground, both stabilizing the loading device and protecting the rollers 7 from prolonged heavy pressure.

[0057] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a loading device for inter-factory shipment of wheel arches, including: an outer frame 1, the outer frame 1 including symmetrically arranged first columns 11 and symmetrically arranged second columns 12; the first columns 11 and adjacent second columns 12 are connected by a first connecting column 13; the second columns 12 are connected by a second connecting column 14; a top cover 2, the top cover 2 is rotatably connected to the second connecting column 14 by a hinge 21; a plurality of support components 3, the support components 3 are arranged sequentially along the vertical direction; the support components 3 include a crossbeam 31, side beams 32 arranged on both sides of the crossbeam 31, and a connecting frame 33; the crossbeam 31 is uniformly provided with a plurality of first grooves 311 along the length direction; the side beams 32 are uniformly provided with a plurality of second grooves 321 along the length direction; the number of first grooves 311 and second grooves 321 is the same; the horizontal height of the crossbeam 31 is greater than the horizontal height of the side beams 32; one end of the connecting frame 33 is provided with a rotating shaft 3. 33, the second column 12 is provided with a rotating ring 122, and the rotating shaft 333 is inserted into the rotating ring 122 to make the connecting frame 33 rotatably connected to the second column 12; a first receiving box 4 is provided between the second columns 12; a second receiving box 5 is provided between the first columns 11; when the wheel arch is positioned by the crossbeam 31 and the side beam 32, the two ends of the wheel arch are respectively inserted into the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5; the number of the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5 is the same as the number of the support components 3; both the first receiving box 4 and the second receiving box 5 are provided with a number of third grooves 45, and the third grooves 45, the first grooves 311 and the second grooves 321 on the same plane are used to define the position of the wheel arch; one side of the top cover 2 abuts against the crossbeam 31; gas spring 6, the second column 12 is provided with a first connecting piece 121, the connecting frame 33 is provided with a second connecting piece 332, and the first connecting piece 121 and the second connecting piece 332 are connected by the gas spring 6. The connecting frame 33 is rotatably connected to the second column 12. When it is necessary to load or remove the wheel arch, the connecting frame 33 can be rotated first to increase the distance between adjacent support components 3, so that workers can load or remove the wheel arch. This solves the problem that the distance between the wheel arches is small during the transportation of car wheel arches, making it inconvenient to load and remove the wheel arches.
