Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0032] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example

[0034] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a type of unloading trolley includes components such as a frame 2, a lifting bracket, and a lifting platform 3.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the lifting support includes an inner support frame 8 and an outer support frame 9, which are hinged together in the middle, forming a scissor-like structure. The bottom end of the inner support frame 8 is hinged to the vehicle frame 2, and the upper end of the outer support frame 9 is hinged to the lifting platform 3. An upper roller 81 is provided on the upper end of the inner support frame 8 via an upper roller shaft 82, and the upper roller 81 is slidably connected to the lifting platform 3. A lower roller 91 is provided on the lower end of the outer support frame 9 via a lower roller shaft 94, and the lower roller 91 is slidably connected to the vehicle frame 2. A hydraulic cylinder 10 is hinged to the lower roller shaft 94, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is hinged to the upper end of the inner support frame 8.

[0036] In this invention, a scissor lift mechanism is used to lift and lower the lifting platform 3 to unload and transfer the anode 7. The lifting support includes an inner support frame 8 and an outer support frame 9 that are hinged to each other. A lower roller 91 is mounted on the lower end of the outer support frame 9 via a lower roller shaft 94. A hydraulic cylinder 10 is hinged to the lower roller shaft 94, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is hinged to the upper end of the inner support frame 8. This structure connects the hydraulic cylinder 10 to the lifting support bracket, rather than mounting the hydraulic cylinder 10 on the frame 2, allowing for a more compact and integrated design. The hydraulic cylinder 10 and the lifting support form a triangular support structure, resulting in a simple overall structure that is easy to install. It eliminates the need for a hinged seat on the frame 2 for mounting the hydraulic cylinder 10, while further strengthening the support of the scissor lift platform 3, ensuring the transfer of heavy anode 7 carbon blocks.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, further, the outer support frames 9 are connected by a number of second connecting blocks 95. A middle pin 92 is provided in the middle of the outer support frame 9, and a middle sleeve 85 is provided in the middle of the inner support frame 8. The middle pin 92 is provided inside the middle sleeve 85 through a bearing, and the outer support frame 9 is provided outside the inner support frame 8.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, furthermore, the inner support frames 8 are connected by several first connecting blocks 86. An upper pin 83 is provided on the inner support frame 8, which is located between the intermediate pin 92 and the upper roller shaft 82. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is hinged to the upper pin 83. This enables stable lifting and lowering movements.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, furthermore, the inner walls on both sides of the inner support frame 8 are respectively provided with first guide tubes 84, and the upper pin 83 is set tightly against the inner wall of the first guide tubes 84. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is hinged to the upper pin 83 between the two first guide tubes 84. The first guide tubes 84 strengthen the connection strength of the upper pin 83, and at the same time, the first guide tubes 84 limit the hinge position of the piston rod, preventing the hydraulic cylinder 10 from moving around when it extends or retracts.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the inner walls of both sides of the outer support frame 9 are respectively provided with second guide tubes 93, and the lower roller shaft 94 is set close to the inner wall of the second guide tubes 93. The hydraulic cylinder 10 is hinged to the lower roller shaft 94 between the two second guide tubes 93. The second guide tubes 93 strengthen the connection strength of the lower roller shaft 94, and at the same time, the second guide tubes 93 limit the hinge position of the hydraulic cylinder 10, preventing the hydraulic cylinder 10 from moving during extension and retraction.

[0041] like Figures 3 to 12As shown, in this utility model, the lifting platform 3 is provided with rectangular positioning tubes 31 along its length. Adjacent positioning tubes 31 are reinforced and fixed together by several horizontal tubes 36. The positioning tubes 31 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom side of the lifting platform 3. An mounting block 32 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the positioning tube 31. The mounting block 32 has a through hole extending to the top of the lifting platform 3. The bottom end of the mounting block 32 is connected to a first guide rail 33 via a first screw 34. This detachable connection facilitates replacement of the first guide rail 33. Two upper rollers 81 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper roller shaft 82. The upper rollers 81 slide against the bottom wall of the first guide rail 33, and their side walls are also pressed against the side walls of the first guide rail 33 for limiting their movement. This structure utilizes the first guide rail 33, positioning tubes 31, and other structures to achieve the sliding movement of the upper rollers 81.

[0042] like Figures 3 to 12 As shown, in this utility model, the frame 2 is provided with positioning plates 21 of length L along its length. Each positioning plate 21 has a through hole extending to the bottom of the frame 2. The positioning plates 21 are connected to a second guide rail 22 via second screws 23, allowing for detachable connection and easy replacement of the second guide rail 22. Two lower rollers 91 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower roller shaft 94. The lower rollers 91 slide close to the bottom wall of the second guide rail 22, and their side walls are also close to the side walls of the second guide rail 22 for positioning. This structure utilizes the second guide rail 22, positioning plates 21, and other components to achieve the sliding movement of the lower rollers 91.

[0043] Furthermore, a guide sleeve 35 is provided on one side of the positioning tube 31. A first pin 96 is provided on the upper end of the outer support frame 9 via a bearing. The two sides of the first pin 96 are respectively provided on the inner wall of the guide sleeve 35, and the guide sleeve 35 is used to strengthen the connection strength of the first pin 96. A second pin 87 is provided on the bottom end of the inner support frame 8 via a bearing. The second pin 87 is hinged to the frame 2 or fixedly connected to the frame 2.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a support rod 24 is provided on one side of the frame 2, and the support rod 24 is positioned away from the hydraulic cylinder 10. That is, the support rod 24 and the hydraulic cylinder 10 are respectively located on both sides of the frame 2. The hydraulic cylinder 10 is located on the side where the upper roller 81 / lower roller 91 is located. A screw 241 is provided on the support rod 24. A connecting block 25 is provided on one side of the lifting platform 3. The connecting block 25 passes through the screw 241 and is locked in place by several nuts 251. With this structure, when the lifting platform 3 reaches the lower limit position, it is locked in place using the screw 241 and nuts 251. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder 10 is located on the other side. The triangular support structure formed by the hydraulic cylinder 10 and the support frame 6 (inner support frame 8 and outer support frame 9) can stably support the lifting platform 3, ensuring it can bear the heavy weight of the anode 7. This structure is simple, easy to install, and can further simplify the design of the scissor lift structure.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a drive motor 4 is installed on the upper side of one side of the frame 2, and a wheel axle 42 is installed at the bottom of the frame 2. Wheels 44 are installed on both sides of the wheel axle 42. A first sprocket 43 is installed on the wheel axle 42, and a second sprocket 41 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 4. The first sprocket 43 and the second sprocket 41 are connected by a chain for transmission. The drive motor 4 drives the car to move.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a hydraulic pump 5 is installed on the upper side of one side of the frame 2. The hydraulic pump 5 is driven by a motor and is connected to a hydraulic valve seat 51 through a pipe. The hydraulic valve seat 51 is connected to a hydraulic cylinder 10 through a hydraulic pipe. The hydraulic pump 5 drives the hydraulic cylinder 10 to move, thereby realizing the lifting of the lifting platform 3.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, wheel 44 is a track wheel, and wheel 44 is fitted onto track 1. A carrying rack 6 is provided on one side of track 1. After the anode 7 is unloaded, it is placed on the carrying rack 6, and there are open gaps between the carrying racks 6. Multiple lifting platforms 3 can be installed on each frame 2, and the corresponding lifting platforms 3 are located in the gaps between the carrying racks 6. When the lifting platform 3 is at its lower limit position, the unloading trolley moves to the bottom side of the carrying rack 6. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 10 extends, gradually controlling the multiple lifting platforms 3 to rise, supporting the bottom wall of the anode 7 through the gaps in the carrying rack 6, thus detaching the anode 7 from the carrying rack 6. Then, the unloading trolley moves away from the carrying rack 6. After the unloading trolley leaves the carrying rack 6, the hydraulic cylinder 10 descends, causing the lifting platform 3 to lower the anode 7 to its lower limit position. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 10 maintains pressure. Simultaneously, the lifting platform 3 and the frame 2 are connected using screw 241 and nut 251, allowing for safe and stable transportation of the anode 7.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
