Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of retainer transfer equipment, and particularly relates to an interval-adjustable ring-shaped workpiece loading vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a retainer production workshop without a continuous automatic conveying line, a production process relies on a traditional transfer mode to link various processing links. Specifically, when a punch or other processing equipment completes preliminary processing to form a ring-shaped workpiece as a semi-finished product, the semi-finished product cannot directly flow into the next production stage, but needs to be transferred by a transfer vehicle as a medium for manual or mechanical auxiliary handling operations. However, a significant challenge encountered in this process is that, due to the large number of specifications and models of retainer products, their physical characteristics such as outer diameter size, height, and thickness are different, which directly leads to the use of multiple different specifications and sizes of transfer vehicles to meet the transfer needs of various semi-finished products.

[0003] This dependence on diversified transfer vehicles not only increases the production preparation cost, including the cost of purchasing, maintaining, and storing different specifications of transfer vehicles, but also further exacerbates the problem of space utilization in a production workshop environment where space resources are already scarce. In particular, when multiple products need to be transferred at the same time, it can be seen that the prior art needs to be further improved and improved. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The utility model provides an interval-adjustable ring-shaped workpiece loading vehicle to solve the problem of cost increase and space utilization difficulty caused by the use of multiple different specifications and sizes of transfer vehicles to meet the transfer needs of various semi-finished products due to the large number of specifications and models of retainer products.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0006] An interval-adjustable ring-shaped workpiece loading vehicle comprises a frame-type chassis with casters, and upright door-type frames are fixed at both ends of the chassis. A first horizontal beam is connected to the top of the door-type frame, and a second horizontal beam is arranged on the chassis. The first horizontal beam and the second horizontal beam correspond to each other in the vertical direction. A plurality of separation stop rods capable of moving along the horizontal beam direction are arranged between the first horizontal beam and the second horizontal beam. Ring-shaped workpieces are placed between adjacent separation stop rods, and the interval between adjacent stop rods is adjusted to tightly fix ring-shaped workpieces of different thicknesses.

[0007] By adopting the spacing-adjustable ring-shaped workpiece loading vehicle of the present application, the spacing between adjacent partitioning bars can be adjusted to tightly fix ring-shaped workpieces of different thickness sizes, avoiding the shaking or falling of the workpieces during transfer, thereby improving the stability of the transfer. Since the ring-shaped workpieces are vertically placed between adjacent partitioning bars, the workpieces can be easily taken or placed from the loading vehicle without the need to move layer by layer as in the stacking mode, saving time and labor. The loading vehicle can transfer ring-shaped workpieces of different specifications, only needing to simply adjust the spacing of the partitioning bars, without the need to replace transfer vehicles of different specifications, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line. Compared with the stacking mode, the vertically placed ring-shaped workpieces are more intuitive, facilitating workers to quickly identify and classify workpieces of different specifications, which is conducive to quality control and inventory management during production.

[0008] In a preferred implementation, the two ends of the partitioning bar are movably connected with the first horizontal beam and the second horizontal beam respectively, and the two ends can move synchronously in the direction of the horizontal beams. A fastening structure is arranged at one end or both ends of the partitioning bar to achieve the relative fixation of the partitioning bar and the two horizontal beams.

[0009] In a preferred implementation, the fastening structure comprises a first fixed plate fixed to the end of the partitioning bar and a second fixed plate capable of moving relative to the first fixed plate. The fastening structure is surrounded outside the adjacent three sides of the horizontal beam. The first fixed plate and the second fixed plate have a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the partitioning bar can move horizontally relative to the horizontal beam. When in the second position, the partitioning bar is fixed relative to the horizontal beam.

[0010] In a preferred implementation, the first fixed plate is provided with a sliding groove, and the bottom of the second fixed plate is provided with a sliding block. The sliding block is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded hole of the sliding block is connected with the screw rod part of the screwing piece through the sliding groove of the first fixed plate. The rotation of the screwing piece can move the second fixed plate relative to the first fixed plate.

[0011] Through the simple operation of the screwing piece, the relative fixation or release between the partitioning bar and the horizontal beam can be easily achieved. It is convenient to quickly adjust the position of the partitioning bar according to production needs. The components of the fastening structure are relatively simple and easy to disassemble and replace, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the loading vehicle.

[0012] In a preferred implementation, the top surface of the first fixed plate is provided with a first inclined surface, and the bottom surface of the second fixed plate is provided with a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are adapted to each other.

[0013] In a preferred implementation, the two sides of the portal frame are provided with a first reinforcing cross beam connecting the two portal frames, and a second reinforcing cross beam is arranged between the two upright columns of the portal frame. The first reinforcing cross beam and the second reinforcing cross beam are arranged on the upper side of the chassis.

[0014] In the preferred implementation, the partitioning stopper is provided with a through hole in the horizontal beam direction, and the limiting stopper is detachably connected to the through hole to prevent the ring-like workpiece from falling from the side.

[0015] In the preferred implementation, the caster is a caster with brake, which is detachably connected to the four corners of the frame-shaped chassis through the caster fixing plate.

[0016] In the preferred implementation, the chassis, the door-type frame, the first horizontal beam and the second horizontal beam are welded with aluminum square tubes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

However, it is noted that direct connection means that the connection between the two main bodies does not form a connection relationship through an excessive structure, but is connected to form a whole only through the connecting structure. For ordinary skilled persons in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific situation.

[0026] In the utility model, the description of "first", "second" and the like is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0027] The utility model will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0028] The specific scheme adopted is:

[0029] As shown in Figures 1-3 The utility model provides a distance adjustable ring workpiece loading vehicle, including frame type chassis 1 with trundle 10, the both ends of chassis are fixed with the vertical door type frame 2 respectively, the top of door type frame 2 is connected first horizontal beam 3, and the second horizontal beam 4 is arranged at the chassis, and the first horizontal beam 3 and the second horizontal beam 4 correspond in vertical direction, a plurality of separation stop bars 5 capable of moving along the horizontal beam direction are arranged between the first horizontal beam 3 and the second horizontal beam 4, and the ring workpiece is placed between adjacent separation stop bars 5, and the distance between adjacent stop bars is adjusted to tightly fix the ring workpiece of different thickness sizes.

[0030] The above structure can tightly fix ring-shaped workpieces of different thickness sizes by adjusting the spacing of adjacent partitioning bars 5, avoiding shaking or falling of the workpieces during transfer, thereby improving the stability of the transfer. Since the ring-shaped workpieces are vertically placed between adjacent partitioning bars 5, they can be easily taken or placed from the loading vehicle without the need to move layer by layer as in the stacking mode, saving time and labor. The loading vehicle can transfer ring-shaped workpieces of different specifications by simply adjusting the spacing of the partitioning bars 5, without the need to replace different specifications of transfer vehicles, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line. Compared with the stacking mode, the vertically placed ring-shaped workpieces are more intuitive, facilitating workers to quickly identify and classify workpieces of different specifications, which is beneficial to quality control and inventory management during production.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 , the partitioning bars 5 are movably connected to the first horizontal beam 3 and the second horizontal beam 4 at both ends and can move synchronously in the horizontal beam direction. By providing a fastening structure 6 at one or both ends of the partitioning bar 5, the relative fixation of the partitioning bar 5 and the two horizontal beams can be achieved. This fastening structure 6 ensures that the partitioning bar 5 does not move during transfer due to vibration or external force, thereby ensuring the stability of the ring-shaped workpieces on the loading vehicle.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the fastening structure 6 includes a first fixed plate 60 fixed to the end of the partitioning bar 5 and a second fixed plate 61 movable relative to the first fixed plate 60. The first fixed plate 60 is fixed to the end of the partitioning bar 5 and serves as the base part of the fastening structure 6, providing a basis for contact and fixation with the horizontal beam. The second fixed plate 61 is movable relative to the first fixed plate 60 and moves to achieve clamping or releasing of the horizontal beam. The first fixed plate 60 is provided with a sliding groove 600, and the bottom of the second fixed plate 61 is provided with a sliding block 610. The sliding block 610 slides in the sliding groove 600, allowing the second fixed plate 61 to move relative to the first fixed plate 60 in the horizontal direction. A screw member 62 has a screw portion passing through the sliding groove 600 of the first fixed plate 60 and connected to the threaded hole of the sliding block 610. By rotating the screw member 62, the sliding block 610 can be driven to move in the sliding groove 600, thereby moving the second fixed plate 61.

[0033] Working principle and operation

[0034] First position: when the screw member 62 is in a loosened state, the second fixed plate 61 can move freely in the sliding groove 600, and at this time the partitioning bar 5 can move horizontally relative to the horizontal beam, facilitating adjustment of the position of the partitioning bar 5.

[0035] Second position: when the screw 62 is tightened, the slider 610 is firmly locked in a certain position of the sliding groove 600, and the second fixed plate 61 clamps the adjacent three sides of the horizontal beam together with the first fixed plate 60, realizing the relative fixation of the partition barrier 5 and the horizontal beam.

[0036] Through the simple operation of the screw 62, the relative fixation or release between the partition barrier 5 and the horizontal beam can be easily realized, which facilitates the quick adjustment of the position of the partition barrier 5 according to the production needs, the components of the fastening structure 6 are relatively simple, and the fastening structure 6 is easy to disassemble and replace, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the loading vehicle.

[0037] Further, the top surface of the first fixed plate 60 is provided with a first inclined surface, and the bottom surface of the second fixed plate 61 is provided with a second inclined surface, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are matched. When the second fixed plate 61 moves relative to the first fixed plate 60 and clamps the horizontal beam, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface will contact each other and generate a friction force. Due to the design of the inclined surface, when the screw 62 is tightened, the fixed plate will be subjected to a downward component force, which will be transmitted to the lower side of the partition barrier 5 to press down the second horizontal beam 4, so that the lower end of the partition barrier 5 is also fixed, so that the partition barrier 5 will not easily move or tilt, thereby ensuring the reliability of the partition barrier 5 during the transfer process.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the two sides of the portal frame 2 are provided with a first reinforcing cross beam 7 connecting the two portal frames 2, and a second reinforcing cross beam 8 is arranged between the two upright columns of the portal frame 2, and the first reinforcing cross beam 7 and the second reinforcing cross beam 8 are arranged on the upper side of the chassis.

[0039] The first reinforcing cross beam 7 connecting the two portal frames 2 enhances the connection strength between the two portal frames 2, preventing them from relative displacement when subjected to force. It helps to improve the overall rigidity and stability of the whole structure. The second reinforcing cross beam 8 arranged between the two upright columns of the portal frame 2 is mainly used to enhance the torsional resistance and load capacity of the single portal frame 2. By increasing the number of cross beams or adjusting their positions, the mechanical properties of the portal frame 2 can be further optimized.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the partition barrier 5 is provided with a through hole 9 in the direction of the horizontal beam, and a limiting barrier is detachably connected to the through hole 9, which is not shown in the figure. The main function of the limiting barrier is to limit the ring-shaped workpiece from falling off the side of the loading vehicle. When the workpiece is placed between the partition barriers 5, the limiting barrier can provide an additional support point to ensure the stability of the workpiece during the transfer process.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the caster 10 is a caster 10 with a brake, which is detachably connected to the four corner positions of the frame chassis 1 through the caster 10 fixed plate.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the chassis, the door frame 2, the first horizontal beam 3, the second horizontal beam 4 are aluminum square tube welded connections.

[0043] The unmentioned parts in the utility model can be realized by using or referring to the existing technology.

[0044] The above is only a specific implementation manner of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can easily think of various changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, and these should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
