[0025] Example
[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a portable building material transport vehicle suitable for confined spaces, comprising:
[0027] The transport vehicle body 100 includes a bracket 101, a base frame 102 hinged to the bottom end of the bracket 101, a fixed plate 103 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bracket 101, a first movable plate 104 respectively hinged to the two sides of the base frame 102, a second movable plate 105 hinged to the other side of the first movable plate 104, a driven plate 106 hinged to the other side of the second movable plate 105, a bottom plate 107 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the base frame 102, a moving wheel 108 fixedly installed at the bottom of the base frame 102, and a push rod 109 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bracket 101.
[0028] It should be noted that the bracket 101 and the base frame 102 are the main supporting structures of the transport vehicle body 100, providing an overall frame. The fixed plate 103, the first movable plate 104, the second movable plate 105 and the driven plate 106 are used to increase structural stability. The first movable plate 104, the second movable plate 105 and the driven plate 106 are connected by hinges to realize the folding function of the transport vehicle body 100. The moving wheel 108 is used to control the movement of the transport vehicle body 100, and the push rod 109 is used to push the transport vehicle body 100.
[0029] The storage mechanism 200 includes a folding component 201 used in conjunction with the folding transport vehicle body 100, and a locking component 202 used to prevent the folded transport vehicle body 100 from suddenly unfolding in a confined space.
[0030] Specifically, the folding assembly 201 includes a connecting shaft 201a fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the bracket 101 via a bearing, a swing rod 201b fixedly sleeved on the through end of the connecting shaft 201a, and a transmission rod 201c hinged to the other end of the swing rod 201b and used in conjunction with the base frame 102. The other end of the transmission rod 201c is hinged to the outer surface of the base frame 102.
[0031] It should be noted that the connecting shaft 201a is the rotation center of the swing rod 201b. When the bracket 101 and the base frame 102 are folded, the swing rod 201b and the transmission rod 201c can be driven from the oblique shape to the V shape, and the connecting shaft 201a can be driven to rotate clockwise through the swing rod 201b.
[0032] Furthermore, the locking assembly 202 includes a turntable 202a fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 201a, a limiting groove 202b formed on the outer surface of the turntable 202a, a support shaft 202c fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the limiting groove 202b by a bearing, and a first pawl 202d fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support shaft 202c.
[0033] Preferably, the locking assembly 202 further includes a spring piece 202e fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 202b and used in conjunction with the first pawl 202d, and a first ratchet 202f fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bracket 101 and used in conjunction with the first pawl 202d.
[0034] It should also be noted that when the connecting shaft 201a rotates clockwise, it can drive the turntable 202a to rotate synchronously. The turntable 202a drives the first pawl 202d to rotate through the support shaft 202c. Then, the first ratchet 202d is squeezed into the limiting groove 202b by the first ratchet 202f. Subsequently, the reaction force of the spring piece 202e quickly resets the first pawl 202d, ensuring that the first pawl 202d always remains engaged with the first ratchet 202f, thereby limiting the counterclockwise rotation of the connecting shaft 201a.
[0035] It should be noted that the first pawl 202d engages with the inner wall of the first ratchet 202f, and the outer surface of the turntable 202a rotates in contact with the inner wall of the first ratchet 202f.
[0036] Furthermore, the locking assembly 202 also includes a second ratchet 202g fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 201a, a second pawl 202h meshing with the outer surface of the second ratchet 202g, a swivel pin 202i fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first ratchet 202f and used in conjunction with the second pawl 202h, a torsion spring 202j sleeved on the outer surface of the swivel pin 202i and used in conjunction with the second pawl 202h, and a paddle 202k fixedly connected to the through end of the support shaft 202c.
[0037] When the support frame 101 and the base frame 102 are unfolded, the connecting shaft 201a will rotate clockwise. At this time, the second pawl 202h will be engaged with the second ratchet 202g under the action of the torsion spring 202j. This engagement can effectively prevent the connecting shaft 201a from rotating counterclockwise, thus preventing the unfolded transport vehicle body 100 from folding due to external force.
[0038] The torsion spring 202j applies torsional force through the swivel pin 202i, ensuring that the second pawl 202h remains in close contact with the second ratchet 202g. Simultaneously, since one end of the swivel pin 202i is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first ratchet 202f, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second pawl 202h, the entire locking structure can be integrated into a linkage system, ensuring the reliability of the dual locking function.
[0039] Specifically, the second pawl 202h is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the swivel post 202i, the outer end face of the swivel post 202i is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second pawl 202h, the other end of the swivel post 202i is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first ratchet 202f, and the paddle 202k is the force-applying end of the rotating support shaft 202c.
[0040] In use, the pallet 100 is moved to the entrance of a narrow space by pushing the push rod 109, and the second pawl 202h is moved to the position where it is disengaged from the second ratchet 202g. Then the bracket 101 and the base frame 102 are folded. At this time, the swing rod 201b and the transmission rod 201c change from a diagonal shape to a V shape, which drives the connecting shaft 201a to rotate clockwise. At the same time, the connecting shaft 201a drives the turntable 202a to rotate synchronously. The turntable 202a causes the first pawl 202d to rotate and squeeze into the limiting groove 202b through the support shaft 202c. Then the reaction force of the spring piece 202e quickly resets the first pawl 202d, ensuring that it is always engaged with the first ratchet 202f, thereby limiting the counterclockwise rotation of the connecting shaft 201a and realizing the locking function after folding.
[0041] When the pallet trolley body 100 needs to be unfolded: Press the lever 202k to move the first pawl 202d to the position where it is disengaged from the first ratchet 202f. Then unfold the bracket 101 and the base frame 102. The second pawl 202h remains engaged with the second ratchet 202g under the action of the torsion spring 202j, further restricting the clockwise rotation of the connecting shaft 201a and preventing the pallet trolley body 100 from being accidentally unfolded due to external force or vibration when it is folded. This ensures the safety and stability of the pallet trolley body 100 during use when it needs to be unfolded.
[0042] In summary, by cooperating with the folding component 201 and the locking component 202, the bracket 101 and the base frame 102 can be locked when unfolded or folded, preventing the transport vehicle body 100 from suddenly unfolding when entering a narrow construction passage after being folded, or from being folded by external force during use, thereby greatly improving the safety, stability and operational reliability of the transport vehicle body 100.
