Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery, and in particular to a gravity-fed logistics transport vehicle with a perimeter rail. Background Technology

[0002] Existing gravity-fed transport vehicles used for moving mattress slats (which wrap around the outer edge of a mattress to protect the spring core, air core, and other structures inside) typically include a frame with an inner cavity to hold the slats. Due to the large overall volume and depth of the frame, when the slats are full, workers can easily remove them by bending slightly. However, as more slats are removed, the number of slats inside the frame decreases, and the closer the slats are to the bottom of the frame, the more workers need to bend over and exert more force to remove them. This results in high handling intensity, making it difficult for workers to maintain the work for extended periods, thus affecting the efficiency of slat handling and consequently impacting mattress production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a gravity-fed material handling vehicle for mattress slats. The frame is modified to have an inner frame embedded within an outer frame. The inner frame, through an adjustment mechanism, can automatically rise or fall according to the weight of the slats within it. When there are many slats and they are heavy, the inner frame lowers, bringing the upper slats closer to the top of the outer frame, allowing workers to easily move the slats in a more comfortable posture. When there are few slats and they are light, the inner frame rises, still maintaining a close distance between the slats and the top of the outer frame, allowing workers to easily move the slats in a more comfortable posture. This reduces the workload and fatigue of workers, thereby improving their handling efficiency and ultimately increasing mattress production efficiency.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is mainly achieved through the following technical solution: a gravity-fed material handling vehicle for slatted flooring, comprising an outer frame, characterized in that an inner frame is provided inside the outer frame, both the outer and inner frames are open at the top, and several sets of adjustment mechanisms are provided between the outer and inner frames. These adjustment mechanisms are used to automatically adjust the height of the inner frame according to the weight it bears. By changing the frame structure to an outer frame with an embedded inner frame, and with the inner frame automatically rising or falling according to the weight of the slatted flooring within it via the adjustment mechanisms, when there are many slatted flooring pieces and the weight is heavy, the inner frame falls, bringing the upper slatted flooring pieces closer to the top of the outer frame, facilitating easy handling of the slatted flooring pieces by workers in a more comfortable posture. When there are few slatted flooring pieces and the weight is light, the inner frame rises, still maintaining a close distance between the slatted flooring pieces and the top of the outer frame, allowing workers to easily handle the slatted flooring pieces in a more comfortable posture. This helps reduce the handling intensity and fatigue of workers, thereby improving handling efficiency and ultimately increasing mattress production efficiency.

[0005] As a further improvement and supplement to the above technical solution, this utility model adopts the following technical measures: the adjustment mechanism includes a guide component and a reset component. The guide component is used to guide the inner frame to move up and down, and the reset component is used to gradually move the inner frame back to its original position as the weight it bears decreases. The guide component and reset component facilitate the smooth rise or fall of the inner frame according to the gravity of the surrounding strip, ensuring not only that workers can smoothly move the surrounding strip, but also improving the safety of workers during the handling process.

[0006] Preferably, the guiding assembly includes a movable column with a vertical guide groove, several rollers disposed on the inner wall of the guide groove, and a vertical fixed column inserted into the guide groove. The rolling surfaces of the rollers are in contact with the outer wall of the fixed column, allowing the movable column to move vertically along the fixed column, thereby allowing the inner frame to move vertically as well. Through the cooperation of the rollers, guide groove, and fixed column, the movable column enables the inner frame to rise or fall smoothly. Furthermore, the rollers allow the inner frame to respond sensitively to changes in the weight of the surrounding strips, enabling smooth rising or falling movements and preventing jamming. This facilitates smooth handling by workers with relatively low labor intensity.

[0007] Preferably, the two opposite side walls of the outer frame and the two corresponding side walls of the inner frame are both fence panels, each comprising a plurality of vertically spaced outer and inner vertical bars, with the corresponding outer vertical bars serving as fixed posts. The fence panel form of the side walls of the outer and inner frames not only helps reduce the overall weight of the gravity-fed material handling vehicle and decrease raw material consumption, but also allows workers to easily see the approximate capacity of the fences inside the vehicle, facilitating smooth handling operations.

[0008] Preferably, the reset assembly includes a reset spring, with its two ends connected to the outer frame and the inner frame, respectively. To improve connection reliability, connecting blocks are provided at corresponding locations on both the outer and inner frames, and both ends of the reset spring are connected to the connecting blocks.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the reset spring is connected to the outer vertical bar on the corresponding outer frame, and the lower end of the reset spring is connected to the inner vertical bar on the corresponding inner frame.

[0010] Preferably, the outer frame has a three-sided enclosed structure with an opening on one side, including an outer rear wall and two outer side walls located on both sides of the outer rear wall. The inner frame has a front and rear opening structure, including two inner side walls that respectively cooperate with the two outer side walls. The adjustment mechanism is symmetrically arranged between the two sets of corresponding side walls. The bottom wall of the inner frame forms the bottom wall of the gravity logistics transport vehicle, and the rear wall of the outer frame forms the rear wall of the inner frame, so that the bottom and rear of the gravity logistics transport vehicle have only one wall, which further helps to reduce the overall weight of the gravity logistics transport vehicle and also further reduces the amount of raw materials consumed by the gravity logistics transport vehicle. In addition, the inner frame and the outer frame form an effective housing for accommodating the girder. Furthermore, after the inner frame and the outer frame are combined, the front of the gravity logistics transport vehicle has an opening for easy handling. Workers can use this opening to move the girder out of the gravity logistics transport vehicle, avoiding the need for workers to move the girder out from the top of the gravity logistics transport vehicle from bottom to top, which helps to significantly reduce the handling intensity and also helps to further improve the handling efficiency.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the outer frame is a hollow frame structure, the rear of the inner frame is a hollow frame structure, the inner bottom wall of the inner frame is a fence panel, and the outer rear wall is a mesh panel. The hollow frame structures at the bottom of the outer frame and the rear of the inner frame help ensure the overall strength of the outer and inner frames, preventing deformation under stress. Using a fence panel helps reduce weight and material consumption. Using a mesh panel improves the safety of the gravity-operated material handling vehicle and effectively prevents the fencing from slipping out of gaps.

[0012] Preferably, the vertical depth of the inner frame is less than the vertical depth of the outer frame. When the inner frame is in the reset state, the upper edge of the inner frame matches the upper edge of the outer frame, the bottom of the inner frame matches the bottom of the outer frame, and the lateral depth of the inner frame matches the lateral depth of the outer frame. The smaller vertical depth of the inner frame compared to the outer frame allows the bottom trim to rise as the inner frame is raised, thus facilitating handling.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the outer frame is provided with several wheels. This facilitates the outer frame to move independently, carrying the inner frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By changing the frame structure to an outer frame with an embedded inner frame, and the inner frame being adjustable to automatically rise or fall according to the weight of the inner railing, workers can easily move the railing in a comfortable posture, thus reducing the lifting intensity and fatigue of the workers. 2. The specific structure of the inner and outer frames not only facilitates the installation of guide and reset components, but also allows the outer frame itself to form components within the guide components. Appropriately, the overall structure of the railing gravity transport vehicle is simplified and compact, and it helps ensure the working stability of the guide and reset components, thereby ensuring the reliability of the workers' handling. 3. The bottom wall of the inner frame forms the bottom wall of the railing gravity transport vehicle, and the rear wall of the outer frame forms the rear wall of the inner frame, so that the bottom and rear of the railing gravity transport vehicle each have only one wall, further reducing the overall weight of the railing gravity transport vehicle and the amount of raw materials consumed. 4. The inner and outer frames, when fitted together, create an opening on the front of the gravity-fed material handling vehicle for easy transport. Workers can use this opening to remove the material from the vehicle, avoiding the need to lift it from the top, significantly reducing handling effort and improving efficiency. 5. The vertical depth of the inner frame is less than that of the outer frame, allowing the bottom material to rise with the inner frame, thus facilitating transport. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example: Figures 1-5 As shown, a gravity-fed logistics transport vehicle includes an outer frame 1, characterized in that an inner frame 2 is provided inside the outer frame 1, both the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2 are open at the top, and a plurality of adjustment mechanisms are provided between the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2, the adjustment mechanisms being used to automatically adjust the height of the inner frame 2 according to the weight it bears.

[0023] In this technical solution, the frame is changed to an outer frame 1 with an inner frame 2 embedded inside, and the inner frame 2 can automatically rise or fall according to the weight of the inner strip through an adjustment mechanism.

[0024] When there are many bar strips and they are heavy, the inner frame 2 will descend, so that the upper bar strips are closer to the upper end of the outer frame 1, making it easier for staff to move the bar strips in a more comfortable posture.

[0025] When there are fewer and lighter strips, the inner frame 2 moves upward, while still keeping the strips close to the upper end of the outer frame 1. This allows workers to easily move the strips in a more comfortable posture, which helps reduce the intensity of movement and fatigue, thereby improving the efficiency of movement and ultimately increasing mattress production efficiency.

[0026] In practical applications, in order to facilitate the independent movement of the outer frame 1 carrying the inner frame 2, several wheels 15 are provided at the bottom of the outer frame 1.

[0027] Next, we will further refine the above technical solution:

[0028] In practical applications, the adjustment mechanism includes a guide component 3 and a reset component 4. The guide component 3 is used to guide the inner frame 2 up and down, and the reset component 4 is used to gradually move the inner frame 2 upward and reset it as the weight it bears decreases.

[0029] In this technical solution, the guide component 3 and the reset component 4 are designed to allow the inner frame 2 to rise or fall smoothly under the gravity of the surrounding strip. This not only ensures that workers can move the surrounding strip smoothly, but also improves the safety of workers during the moving process.

[0030] In practical applications, the guide assembly 3 includes a movable column 6 with a vertical guide groove 5, a plurality of rollers 16 disposed on the inner wall of the guide groove 5, and a vertical fixed column 7 inserted into the guide groove 5. The rolling surfaces of the plurality of rollers 16 are in contact with the outer wall of the fixed column 7, so that the movable column 6 can move vertically along the fixed column 7, and the inner frame 2 can move vertically accordingly.

[0031] In this technical solution, the movable column 6, through the cooperation of the rollers 16, the guide groove 5 and the fixed column 7, enables the inner frame 2 to rise or fall smoothly. Furthermore, the rollers 16 allow the inner frame 2 to respond sensitively to changes in the weight of the surrounding strips, enabling smooth rising or falling movements and avoiding jamming. This facilitates the handling of materials by workers with relatively low labor intensity.

[0032] In practical applications, the two opposite side walls of the outer frame 1 and the two corresponding side walls of the inner frame 2 are all fence panels, each including a number of vertically spaced outer vertical bars 8 and inner vertical bars 9, and the corresponding outer vertical bars 8 are the fixed posts 7.

[0033] In this technical solution, the side walls of the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2 are in the form of fence panels, which not only helps to reduce the overall weight of the gravity logistics handling vehicle and reduce raw material consumption, but also makes it easier for staff to see the approximate capacity of the fence inside the gravity logistics handling vehicle, and facilitates the smooth handling work of staff.

[0034] In practical applications, in order to improve connection reliability, connecting blocks are provided at corresponding parts of the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2, and both ends of the reset spring 10 are connected to the connecting blocks. The reset assembly 4 includes the reset spring 10, and the two ends of the reset spring 10 are respectively connected to the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2.

[0035] In practical applications, in order for the inner frame 2 to rise or fall smoothly, the upper end of the return spring 10 is connected to the outer vertical bar 8 on the corresponding outer frame 1, and the lower end of the return spring 10 is connected to the inner vertical bar 9 on the corresponding inner frame 2.

[0036] In practical applications, the outer frame 1 has a three-sided enclosed structure with an opening on one side, including an outer rear wall 11 and two outer side walls 12 located on both sides of the outer rear wall 11. The inner frame 2 has a front and rear open structure, including two inner side walls 13 that cooperate with the two outer side walls 12 respectively. The adjustment mechanism is symmetrically arranged between the two sets of corresponding side walls.

[0037] In this technical solution, the bottom wall of the inner frame 2 forms the bottom wall of the gravity logistics transport vehicle, and the rear wall of the outer frame 1 forms the rear wall of the inner frame 2, so that the bottom and rear of the gravity logistics transport vehicle have only one wall, which further helps to reduce the overall weight of the gravity logistics transport vehicle and also further reduces the amount of raw materials consumed by the gravity logistics transport vehicle. In addition, the inner frame 2 and the outer frame 1 form an effective container for accommodating the gravity strip.

[0038] In this technical solution, after the inner frame 2 and the outer frame 1 are combined, the front side of the gravity logistics transport vehicle with a fence strip has an opening that facilitates handling. Workers can use this opening to move the fence strip out of the gravity logistics transport vehicle, avoiding the need for workers to move the fence strip out from the top of the gravity logistics transport vehicle from bottom to top. This helps to significantly reduce the handling intensity and also helps to further improve handling efficiency.

[0039] In practical applications, the bottom of the outer frame 1 is a hollow frame structure, the rear of the inner frame 2 is a hollow frame structure, the inner bottom wall 14 of the inner frame 2 is a fence plate, and the outer rear wall 11 is a mesh plate.

[0040] In this technical solution, the bottom of the outer frame 1 and the rear of the inner frame 2 are both hollow frame structures, which helps to ensure the overall strength of the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2 respectively and prevent deformation under stress. Using fence panels helps to reduce weight and reduce raw material consumption.

[0041] In this technical solution, the use of a grid plate is beneficial to improving the safety of the gravity logistics handling vehicle with enclosure strips and can effectively prevent the enclosure strips from slipping into the external space through the gaps.

[0042] In practical applications, the vertical depth of the inner frame 2 is less than the vertical depth of the outer frame 1. When the inner frame 2 is in the reset state, the upper edge of the inner frame 2 is adapted to the upper edge of the outer frame 1, the bottom of the inner frame 2 is spaced to match the bottom of the outer frame 1, and the lateral depth of the inner frame 2 is adapted to the lateral depth of the outer frame 1.

[0043] In this technical solution, the vertical depth of the inner frame 2 is less than the vertical depth of the outer frame 1, which is beneficial for the bottom sill to rise as the inner frame 2 rises, thereby facilitating handling.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
