Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe processing and transfer, specifically to a short pipe conveying and transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] When processing steel pipes in a factory, different processing steps are often located in different places. In addition, the loading, unloading and delivery of steel pipes all require short-distance transportation and transfer.

[0003] Currently, the main method for transporting steel pipes is to bundle them together and then move them using trailers or cranes. For shorter steel pipes, they are usually handled manually or placed on transport vehicles before being transported to their destination.

[0004] Even when using trailers or similar transport platforms for transport, workers still need to first move the bundled short pipes onto the platform, and then unload them upon arrival at the destination. In reality, short pipes are rarely moved using cranes; most are handled manually. Furthermore, the bundled short pipes are quite heavy, making it difficult for workers to handle them gently. They often pull and drag them, which is not only strenuous but also easily leads to scratches and wear on the outer surface of the pipes.

[0005] In addition, when using trailers or other transport platforms to transfer short pipes, it is also necessary to ensure that the short pipes remain fixed on the transport platform. Whether workers hold them by hand or use ropes or other items to fix the short pipes to the transport platform in advance, it is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, which greatly increases the workload of workers. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a short pipe conveying and transfer device to solve the technical problems in the prior art where it is laborious, troublesome and easy to scratch the outer surface of the short pipe when it is moved up and down from the transport platform.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a short pipe conveying and transfer device, including a vehicle-mounted platform for transferring short pipes, and the conveying and transfer device further includes:

[0008] Two sets of load-bearing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the vehicle platform. The top of each load-bearing mechanism is rotatably connected to a track for supporting short pipes.

[0009] The drawstrings on both sides of the vehicle platform are used to prevent the short tubes from shifting on the vehicle platform. The upper end of the drawstring is wound onto a rotating rod, which is rotatably connected above the vehicle platform.

[0010] Furthermore, the load-bearing mechanism includes support seats and rotating rollers. Two support seats are provided and fixedly connected to the vehicle platform. Several rotating rollers are provided and rotatably connected to the top of the two support seats. The track is located between the two support seats and connected to the outside of the rotating rollers.

[0011] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the upper surface of the vehicle platform, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the bracket has two supports, left and right, which are rotatably connected between the two supports on the left and between the two supports on the right, respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, the vehicle platform is equipped with four sets of independent omnidirectional wheels at its bottom.

[0014] Furthermore, the harness is provided with several straps, and each strap has a buckle fixedly connected to its lower end. Several slotted parts that cooperate with the buckles are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the vehicle platform.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. The short pipe is supported by a bearing mechanism, which makes the short pipe suspended in the air, which not only facilitates unloading, but also avoids the short pipe from directly contacting the vehicle platform and getting rust, dirt and other contaminants.

[0016] 2. A track is rotatably connected to the top of the load-bearing mechanism. When loading or unloading, dragging the short pipe will cause the short pipe to rotate with the track, so that the track can play a role in conveying and transferring, avoiding scratches caused by sliding friction on the short pipe.

[0017] 3. Several harnesses are installed on both sides of the vehicle platform. When transporting short pipes, the harnesses are lowered and connected by buckles and slots to effectively restrain the short pipes and prevent them from falling off the vehicle platform. The harnesses can also be wound up to the rotating rod at the top, without affecting the loading and unloading of the short pipes from the vehicle platform. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Detailed implementation methods and principles

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this utility model do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0027] The first aspect of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the transportation of shorter steel pipes, this utility model adopts a vehicle-mounted platform 101 suitable for short-distance transportation, and four sets of independent casters 110 are provided at the bottom of the vehicle-mounted platform 101. This facilitates the movement and direction adjustment of the vehicle-mounted platform 101, making it easy for the vehicle-mounted platform 101 to enter and exit various locations.

[0028] When transporting short pipe 01, multiple short pipes 01 need to be bundled together with strapping 02. This not only improves the efficiency of handling short pipe 01, but also prevents the short pipe 01 from rolling around, thus improving the stability of short pipe 01 during transportation.

[0029] However, the bundled short pipes 01 are quite heavy, making it difficult for workers to handle them gently. As a result, they are often pulled and dragged during transport, which is not only laborious and puts a heavy burden on the workers, but also easily leads to scratches and wear caused by sliding friction between the outer surface of the short pipes 01 and the vehicle platform 101.

[0030] Therefore, to improve this situation, two sets of bearing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the vehicle platform 101. The top of the bearing mechanism is rotatably connected to a track 104 for carrying the short pipe 01. Since the track 104 can rotate freely, when moving the short pipe 01 onto or off the vehicle platform 101, dragging the short pipe 01 will cause the track 104 to rotate, so that the track 104 plays a role in conveying and transferring, avoiding scratches caused by sliding friction on the short pipe 01.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the load-bearing mechanism includes a support base 102 and a rotating roller 103. Two support bases 102 are provided and fixedly connected to the vehicle platform 101. Several rotating rollers 103 are provided and rotatably connected to the top of the two support bases 102. The track 104 is located between the two support bases 102 and connected to the outside of the rotating rollers 103.

[0032] The rotating rollers 103 are arranged closely together and play the main supporting role. The rotating rollers 103 can rotate freely. Therefore, when pushing and pulling the bundled short pipes 01, the friction between the bundled short pipes 01 and the track 104 can make the rotating rollers 103 rotate, thus making the track 104 act as a conveyor belt.

[0033] In addition, due to the height of the load-bearing mechanism plus the track 104, the short pipe 01 is suspended when placed on the track 104. This not only facilitates unloading but also prevents the short pipe 01 from directly contacting the vehicle platform 101 and getting rust, dirt, etc. on it. The support seat 102 and the rotating roller 103 provide support.

[0034] On the other hand, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to ensure that the short tube 01 remains stable on the vehicle platform 101 during transportation and does not roll or move around, several straps 107 are installed on both sides above the vehicle platform 101. After the straps 107 are pulled out and connected to the vehicle platform 101, they can effectively restrain the short tube 01 and prevent it from falling off the vehicle platform 101.

[0035] Compared to the common practice of using workers to hold the pipe in place or using ropes or similar items to secure the short pipe to the transport platform in advance, this invention not only saves time and effort but also significantly reduces the workload for workers.

[0036] Specifically, a bracket 105 is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the upper surface of the vehicle platform 101, and the rotating rod 106 is rotatably connected to the bracket 105. There are two brackets 105, one on the left and one on the right, respectively rotatably connected between the two left brackets 105 and the other between the two right brackets 105. The upper end of the gathering strap 107 is wound onto the rotating rod 106. The lower end of each gathering strap 107 is fixedly connected to a buckle 108. Additionally, several slotted parts 109 that mate with the buckles 108 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the vehicle platform 101.

[0037] Therefore, before or after transporting the short tubes 01, the strapping 107 can be wound onto the top rotating rod 106 without affecting the loading and unloading of the short tubes 01 from the vehicle platform 101. During transport, the strapping 107 can be pulled out and the buckle 108 at the bottom of the strapping 107 can be engaged with the slot 109 on the vehicle platform 101. In this way, the strapping 107 serves to secure and fix the bundled short tubes 01.

[0038] The upper end of the drawstring 107 is wound onto the rotating rod 106, making it easy to use and convenient. Moreover, the rotating rod 106 can rotate, so when winding, you only need to rotate the rotating rod 106 to wind the drawstring 107 onto the rotating rod 106, without taking up space. Detailed Implementation

[0039] Before transporting short pipes 01 over short distances, multiple short pipes 01 must first be bundled together with strapping 02. This not only improves the efficiency of transporting the short pipes 01 but also prevents them from scattering. The bundled short pipes 01 are then transported to the vehicle platform 101. During transport, workers move the bundled short pipes 01 from one side of the vehicle platform 101 to the load-bearing mechanism on that side. The bundled short pipes 01 are then pushed to the other side or the middle of the vehicle platform 101 via the tracks 104. Then, another bundle of short pipes 01 is transported, and so on, until the maximum load capacity of the vehicle platform 101 is reached or all the short pipes 01 have been transported.

[0040] When the bundled short pipes 01 are pushed, the friction between the bundled short pipes 01 and the track 104 causes the rotating roller 103 to rotate, thereby making the track 104 act as a conveyor belt, thus avoiding scratches caused by sliding friction on the short pipes 01.

[0041] After the short tube 01 is transferred onto the vehicle platform 101, it needs to be secured with straps 107 before transportation to prevent it from falling off. First, pull out the straps 107, then engage the buckles 108 at the bottom of the straps 107 with the corresponding slots 109 on the vehicle platform 101. This securely connects the straps 107 to the vehicle platform 101, restraining the short tube 01 located inside the straps 107 on both sides, preventing it from swaying or moving on the vehicle platform 101 due to vibration.

[0042] After the short tube 01 is transported to its destination, the buckle 108 is released from the corresponding slot 109 on the vehicle platform 101. Then, the winding strap 107 is wound onto the top winding rod 106 by rotating the rotating rod 106, making it easy to remove the short tube 01 from the vehicle platform 101.

[0043] Based on the above, this utility model uses a supporting mechanism to support the short pipe 01, suspending it in the air. This not only facilitates unloading but also prevents the short pipe 01 from directly contacting the vehicle platform 101 and becoming rusty or dirty. A track 104 is rotatably connected to the top of the supporting mechanism. During loading or unloading, dragging the short pipe 01 causes it to rotate along the track 104, allowing the track 104 to perform its transport function and preventing scratches caused by sliding friction. Simultaneously, several drawstrings 107 are provided on the left and right sides of the vehicle platform 101. When transporting the short pipe 01, the drawstrings 107 are lowered and connected via buckles 108 and slots 109, effectively securing the short pipe 01 and preventing it from falling off the vehicle platform 101. Furthermore, the drawstrings 107 can be wound onto the top rotating rod 106, without affecting the loading and unloading of the short pipe 01 from the vehicle platform 101.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
