Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel coil transportation equipment, and particularly relates to a steel coil transportation assembly provided with a camera and a forklift. BACKGROUND

[0002] The design of the steel coil transportation assembly contains a wide gantry structure. Although such a design provides convenience in some aspects, it also brings a significant problem. The presence of the gantry greatly obstructs the view of the forklift driver, especially for those drivers who have little driving experience. Due to the limited view, they often have difficulty in accurately aligning the steel coil fork on the steel coil transportation assembly with the hole in the middle of the steel coil drum. This not only wastes time in the calibration process, but also may cause more serious consequences in the case of improper operation. For example, the steel coil fork may hit the steel coil due to inaccurate positioning, thereby causing deformation of the steel coil. Such deformation not only affects the quality of the steel coil and subsequent use, but also may cause additional economic losses. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A steel coil transportation assembly 10 provided with a camera, the transportation assembly 10 comprising:

[0037] A portal frame 11 connected with a transportation vehicle;

[0038] A mounting bracket 12 and a steel coil fork cylinder 121 mounted on the mounting bracket 12, the mounting bracket 12 being movably mounted on the portal frame 11, specifically moving up and down;

[0039] Further, a camera assembly 20 is further mounted on the transportation assembly 10;

[0040] The camera assembly 20 comprises:

[0041] A first support 21 mounted on a first side of the portal frame 11 in a width direction;

[0042] A first camera 211 mounted on a position away from the portal frame 11 at one end of the first support 21, for shooting a field of view range on the right side of the portal frame 11;

[0043] A second support 22 mounted on a second side of the portal frame 11 in a width direction;

[0044] A second camera 221 mounted on a position away from the portal frame 11 at one end of the second support 22, for shooting a field of view range on the left side of the portal frame 11;

[0045] A third camera 23 mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 12, the third camera 23 being oriented in the same direction as the axis of the steel coil fork cylinder 121, for shooting a field of view range on the top of the steel coil fork cylinder 121;

[0046] A fourth camera 24 mounted on the bottom of the mounting bracket 12, the third camera 23 being oriented in the same direction as the axis of the steel coil fork cylinder 121, for shooting a field of view range on the bottom of the steel coil fork cylinder 121;

[0047] The camera assembly 20 integrates a processor unit responsible for synthesizing the images captured by the first camera 211, the second camera 221, the third camera 23 and the fourth camera 24. The processed images are then transmitted to the display screen of the transport vehicle to provide the driver with intuitive information about the distance between the front coil fork cylinder 121 and the coil or surrounding obstacles, thereby optimizing the driver's operation of transporting the coil and avoiding the problem of limited visibility caused by the wide gantry structure; at the same time, during the process of inserting the coil fork cylinder 121 into the middle part of the coil cylinder, the third camera 23 and the fourth camera 24 work cooperatively to effectively monitor the condition of the end of the coil fork cylinder 121 deep into the middle part of the coil cylinder, which ensures that the efficiency of the coil cylinder transportation operation is significantly improved.

[0048] The first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the gantry frame 11, specifically the two width direction sides, so that the first camera 211 and the second camera 221 can cover a wider field of view in front of the transport assembly 10;

[0049] Further, the first support 21 and the second support 22 have a height difference X, wherein the height difference X is the up-down movement stroke of the mounting bracket 12. When the mounting bracket 12 moves to the lowest position, the field of view of the second camera 221 at the low position is blocked, and at this time the first camera 211 at the high position can take pictures;

[0050] For the placement angle of the first camera 211 and the second camera 221, there are two embodiments:

[0051] In the first embodiment, the first camera 211 and the second camera 221 are oriented in the same direction along the length direction of the coil fork cylinder 121, so that the first camera 211 and the second camera 221 can both obtain an open field of view in front of the coil fork cylinder 121;

[0052] In the second embodiment, the second camera 221 is rotated by an angle A towards the coil fork cylinder 121, so that the center of the second camera 221 is aligned with the center of the end of the coil fork cylinder 121. Such arrangement can enable the first camera 211 and the second camera 221 to cooperate, with the first camera 211 responsible for observing the general position of the coil fork cylinder 121 and the second camera 221 with its center aligned with the end of the coil fork cylinder 121 responsible for observing the condition of inserting into the middle part of the coil cylinder.

[0053] Based on the further improvement of the above structure, the camera assembly 20 further comprises a light supplement lamp 25 mounted on the first support 21 and the second support 22 to enhance the image clarity of the first camera 211 and the second camera 221

[0054] The utility model discloses still a kind of fork truck, the fork truck front portion is equipped with the steel roll transport assembly 10 of camera installation as described above, the implementation effect of this fork truck is clearly stated above, here no longer repeat.

[0055] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0056] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are only for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Based on the above disclosure, other changes or modifications can also be made by those skilled in the art, and these changes or modifications are still within the scope of the present application.
