Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of oil drum transportation technology, and specifically relates to an oil drum transportation tool. Background Technology

[0002] In various industrial production fields, large quantities of gasoline and diesel fuel are required for power. These fuels are generally stored in cylindrical drums, and drum handling vehicles are specifically designed and manufactured for moving drums or other cylindrical goods. Currently, the main tools used for moving drums are: first, forklifts, which are bulky but have cramped cabs, making operation extremely inconvenient for the driver; and second, hydraulic lifting vehicles, which are complex, expensive, and prone to damage due to their hydraulic lifting mechanism, resulting in a slow and time-consuming lifting process.

[0003] Existing handling structures are generally large-scale devices used for moving large numbers of oil drums. They are complex in structure and cumbersome in operation.

[0004] Therefore, providing a short-distance transport device with a simple structure that is only applicable to a single oil drum is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an oil drum transportation tool.

[0006] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of this application is as follows: This invention discloses an oil drum transportation tool, comprising:

[0007] A mobile base, comprising an operating end and a transport end, wherein the transport end is provided with a positioning structure;

[0008] A lifting structure, wherein the lifting structure is mounted on the movable base; and

[0009] A clamping structure for fixing the oil drum is installed at the output end of the lifting structure so that the lifting structure can drive the clamping structure to move up and down. The clamping structure is located above the positioning structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping structure includes an eagle beak clamp assembly and a base. The eagle beak clamp assembly is mounted on the base and connected to the lifting structure. The base is slidably engaged with the movable seat and can move along the height direction of the movable seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable seat is provided with a guide post, and the base is slidably engaged with the guide post.

[0012] Furthermore, the transport end includes a longitudinal beam and two transverse beams. The longitudinal beam is connected to the operating end, and the two transverse beams are respectively disposed at both ends of the longitudinal beam to form a positioning groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes a guide wheel, which is disposed in the positioning groove and located below the eagle beak clamp assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, the movable seat is provided with a protective rod, and the protective rods are respectively provided on both sides of the guide column. One end of the protective rod is connected to the guide column, and the other end of the protective rod is connected to the crossbeam.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting structure includes:

[0016] A main cylinder, which is mounted on the operating end, includes a pressure chamber;

[0017] A lifting rod, one end of which is located in the pressure chamber and is slidably engaged with the main cylinder; the clamping structure is connected to the other end of the lifting rod.

[0018] An inflation assembly, mounted on the operating end, is used to increase the pressure within the pressure chamber to push the lifting rod upward; and...

[0019] A pressure relief valve is installed in the main cylinder and is used to reduce the pressure in the pressure chamber to move the lifting rod downward.

[0020] Furthermore, the inflation assembly includes:

[0021] An air filling cylinder, which is connected to the main air cylinder;

[0022] A piston, which slides in conjunction with the gas filling cylinder, and is equipped with a one-way valve to allow gas to be injected into the main cylinder when the piston moves up and down; and

[0023] A piston rod, which is connected to the piston.

[0024] Furthermore, the inflation assembly also includes:

[0025] A spring component, the two ends of which are connected to the air cylinder and the piston rod respectively, the spring component causing the piston rod to have an upward tendency to move.

[0026] Furthermore, the inflation assembly also includes:

[0027] The pressing rod is rotatably engaged with the main cylinder, and the rotation axis of the pressing rod is perpendicular to the main cylinder. The pressing rod is located above the piston rod, and the pressing rod rotates downward to push the piston rod downward.

[0028] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the oil drum transport tool disclosed in this embodiment includes a movable base, a lifting structure, and a clamping structure for fixing the oil drum. The movable base includes an operating end and a transport end arranged at the front and rear, and the transport end is provided with a positioning structure for positioning the oil drum. The lifting structure can drive the clamping structure to move up and down. When the lifting structure drives the clamping structure to descend, the clamping structure can clamp the oil drum positioned by the positioning structure.

[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the wearable antithrombotic pressure pump detection system or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention.

[0042] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0045] See Figures 1 to 5 The oil drum transport tool disclosed in this embodiment includes a movable base 100, a lifting structure 200, and a clamping structure 300 for fixing the oil drum. The movable base 100 includes an operating end 110 and a transport end 120 arranged at the front and rear, respectively. The transport end 120 is provided with a positioning structure 130 for positioning the oil drum. The lifting structure 200 can drive the clamping structure 300 to move up and down. When the lifting structure 200 drives the clamping structure 300 to descend, the clamping structure 300 can clamp the oil drum positioned by the positioning structure 130. At this time, the lifting structure 200 then drives the clamping structure to rise so that the oil drum leaves the ground. The movable base 100 can then move the oil drum, thereby realizing convenient transport of the oil drum.

[0046] The oil drum transport tool disclosed in this embodiment has a simple structure and small size, and can operate flexibly in narrow spaces. By using the positioning structure 130 and the clamping structure 300 together, the oil drum can be quickly fixed. At this time, the oil drum is firmly connected to the clamping structure 300, which can prevent the oil drum from falling off during transportation.

[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rear half of the movable seat 100 is the operating end 110, which is mainly used to install the lifting structure 200. The operating end 110 is also equipped with a guide column 140 for guiding and limiting the clamping structure 300, which can prevent the clamping structure 300 from shaking during the transportation process after clamping the oil drum.

[0048] Among them, see Figure 5A guide groove 141 is provided within the guide post 140, and the guide groove 141 is positioned along the height direction of the guide post 140. A guide rod 330 is provided at the bottom of the clamping structure 300, and the guide rod 330 slides in engagement with the guide groove 141. The guide groove 141 can be coaxially arranged with the guide post 140. Such a guide groove 141 has an opening only at the top, which can prevent the guide rod 330 from wobbling when moving up and down. Of course, making the guide groove 141 coaxial with the guide post 140 is only one implementation method in this embodiment. In other implementation methods, the guide groove 141 can be eccentrically arranged or set on the side wall of the guide post 140. When the guide groove 141 is set on the side wall of the guide post 140, the guide groove 141 can be designed as a T-groove or a dovetail groove, etc.

[0049] A push rod 160 can be installed on the guide column 140, making it more convenient for the operator to hold the push rod 160 when manipulating the oil drum transport vehicle. In this embodiment, the push rod 160 can be set in the upper part of the guide column 140. At this time, the height of the push rod 160 is more in line with the operator's force application habits, thereby making the operation more effortless.

[0050] The transport end 120 includes a longitudinal beam 121 and two crossbeams 122. The longitudinal beam 121 is connected to the operating end 110, and the two crossbeams 122 are respectively set at both ends of the longitudinal beam 121 to form a positioning groove. The positioning structure 130 is installed on the longitudinal beam 121. When the oil drum is being transported, the moving seat 100 is pushed to move, and the oil drum enters the positioning groove and abuts against the positioning structure 130. Its position is exactly below the clamping structure 300. At this time, the clamping structure 300 descends to clamp and fix the oil drum.

[0051] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 130 may include two guide wheels 131, which are mounted on the longitudinal beam 121, and the rotation axis of the guide wheels 131 is parallel to the longitudinal beam 121. On the one hand, the guide wheels 131 can position the oil drum; on the other hand, when the clamping structure 300 drives the oil drum to rise or fall, rolling friction can be used instead of sliding friction, thereby reducing wear on the oil drum and making operation more labor-saving.

[0052] See Figure 2 A protective rod 150 is also provided at the transport end 120. The protective rod 150 is respectively set on both sides of the guide column 140. One end of the protective rod 150 is connected to the guide column 140, and the other end of the protective rod 150 is connected to the crossbeam 122. The protective rod 150 is used to restrict the oil drum and prevent the oil drum from shaking during transportation.

[0053] In the schematic diagram of this embodiment, only one protective rod 150 is provided on each side of the guide post 140. In other embodiments, multiple protective rods 150 can be provided on each side of the guide post 140, and the multiple protective rods 150 are parallel to each other.

[0054] Since oil drums are generally cylindrical, the protective rod 150 can be set to an arc shape. When the oil drum comes into contact with the positioning structure 130, the protective rod 150 also locks onto the oil drum, making the rise and fall of the oil drum more stable.

[0055] See 2. A caster wheel can be installed at the bottom of the operating end 110, and a roller can be installed at the end of each of the two crossbeams 122.

[0056] See Figure 3 The lifting structure 200 includes a main cylinder 210, a lifting rod 220, an inflation assembly 240, and a pressure relief valve 230. The main cylinder 210 is mounted on the operating end 110, adjacent to and parallel to the guide column 140. The main cylinder 210 includes a pressure chamber, with one end of the lifting rod 220 located within it, and the lifting rod 220 slidingly engaging with the main cylinder 210. When the pressure in the pressure chamber increases, it pushes the lifting rod 220 upwards; when the pressure in the pressure chamber decreases, the lifting rod 220 moves downwards along the main cylinder 210. The inflation assembly 240 is mounted on the operating end 110 and is used to increase the pressure in the pressure chamber. The pressure relief valve 230 is mounted on the main cylinder 210 and is used to decrease the pressure in the pressure chamber. When the lifting rod 220 needs to move upward, the inflation assembly 240 is used to inflate the main cylinder 210 to increase the pressure inside the main cylinder 210 and push the lifting rod 220 upward; when the lifting rod 220 needs to move downward, simply open the pressure relief valve 230, and the lifting rod 220 will move downward automatically after the pressure inside the main cylinder 210 decreases.

[0057] The inflation assembly 240 includes an inflation cylinder 241, a piston, a piston rod 242, a spring 243, and a connecting rod mechanism. The inflation cylinder 241 is connected to the main cylinder 210. The piston is slidably fitted with the inflation cylinder 241, and a one-way valve is provided on the piston to allow gas to be injected into the main cylinder 210 when the piston moves up and down. When the piston moves upward, the one-way valve opens to allow gas to be delivered to the area below the piston; when the piston moves downward, the one-way valve closes to allow gas to be pushed into the main cylinder 210 by the piston, thereby increasing the pressure inside the main cylinder 210. The piston rod 242 is connected to the piston. Both ends of the spring 243 are connected to the inflation cylinder 241 and the piston rod 242, respectively, and the spring 243 gives the piston rod 242 a tendency to move upward. The linkage mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the main cylinder 210, and the pressing rod 244 is located above the piston rod 242. The pressing rod 244 is rotatably connected to the main cylinder 210. The rotation axis of the pressing rod 244 is set perpendicular to the main cylinder 210 so that the pressing rod 244 can apply pressure to the piston rod 242 when it rotates up and down.

[0058] The inflation assembly 240 disclosed in this embodiment works as follows: Under normal circumstances, the piston rod 242 is pushed against the lower part of the pressing rod 244 by the elastic force of the spring member 243. When it is necessary to increase the pressure on the main cylinder 210, the pressing rod 244 can be stepped on or pressed. The pressing rod 244 pushes the piston rod 242 downward, which in turn drives the piston downward, thereby increasing the pressure inside the main cylinder 210. After releasing the pressure on the pressing rod 244, the pressing rod 244 rises again under the elastic force of the spring member 243. At this time, the pressing rod 244 can be pressed again to achieve continuous pressure increase on the main cylinder 210.

[0059] Of course, the above embodiment uses a cylinder as an example for illustration. In other embodiments, the cylinder can be replaced with a hydraulic cylinder or other structures, which is also possible.

[0060] See Figure 4 The clamping structure 300 includes a beak clamp assembly 310 and a base 320. The beak clamp assembly 310 is mounted on the base 320 and is connected to the lifting rod 220. A guide rod 330 is located below the base 320. The guide rod 330 can guide and limit the base 320, thereby preventing the beak clamp assembly 310 from shaking.

[0061] In this embodiment, the beak clamp assembly 310 can be rotatably connected to the lifting rod 220, and the rotation axis of the beak clamp assembly 310 is perpendicular to the lifting rod 220. In this way, when the lifting rod 220 drives the beak clamp assembly 310 to move up and down, the angle that requires the least effort can be achieved by automatically rotating the beak clamp assembly 310.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of this application.
