[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0020] The height-adjustable material handling device of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the height-adjustable material handling device of this utility model embodiment may include a base 1, an outer casing mechanism 2, a support frame 3, a first adjustment mechanism 4, a second adjustment mechanism 5, a lifting mechanism 6, and a drive mechanism 7.

[0022] The outer casing mechanism 2 is mounted on the base 1. The outer casing mechanism 2 includes a housing 21 and two first limiting strips 22. It should be noted that the two first limiting strips 22 are used to limit the movement of the first adjusting mechanism 4 installed inside, ensuring its stability.

[0023] Two first limiting strips 22 are installed inside the outer casing mechanism 2, a first adjusting mechanism 4 is disposed between the two first limiting strips 22, a second adjusting mechanism 5 is disposed between the first adjusting mechanisms 4, and a support frame 3 is disposed inside the second adjusting mechanism 5. It should be noted that, through the cooperation between the first adjusting mechanism 4 and the second adjusting mechanism 5, the lifting mechanism 6 can be moved to a suitable position, thereby transporting materials to different heights.

[0024] The top of the support frame 3 has a mounting slot 31, the lifting mechanism 6 is mounted on the top of the support frame 3, and the drive mechanism 7 is mounted on the outer shell 21.

[0025] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism 6 provided in the above embodiment is used to place materials so as to move the materials to a suitable height.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism 7 includes a drive motor 71, a transfer block 72, and a threaded column 73.

[0027] The drive motor 71 is mounted on the bottom surface of the housing 21, the threaded post 73 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 71, and the transfer block 72 is mounted on the threaded post 73.

[0028] It should be noted that the drive motor 71 described in the above embodiments can be a rotary motor. Since this technology is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Specifically, when the drive motor 71 rotates, it can drive the threaded column 73 to rotate, and drive the intermediate block 72 connected to it to move, thereby driving the first mounting bracket 41 to move up and down.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first adjustment mechanism 4 includes a first mounting bracket 41, two first belts 44, two second limit bars 42, four first fixed pulleys 43, and four first connecting blocks 45.

[0031] The bottom of the first mounting bracket 41 is connected to the transfer block 72.

[0032] Two second limiting strips 42 are respectively installed on both sides of the inner wall of the first mounting bracket 41. It should be noted that the second limiting strips 42 are used to limit the position of the second adjusting mechanism 5.

[0033] Four first fixed pulleys 43 are installed in pairs on both sides of the two first mounting brackets 41, two first connecting blocks 45 are installed on the side wall of the outer casing 21, and two first connecting blocks 45 are installed on the second adjustment mechanism 5.

[0034] Both first belts 44 on both sides pass through the two first fixed pulleys 43 and the two first connecting blocks 45 on the same side.

[0035] It should be noted that the first connecting block 45 described in the above embodiment is used to fix the first belt 44, thereby driving the second adjusting mechanism 5 to move upward through the linkage relationship between the first belts 44.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second adjustment mechanism 5 includes a second mounting bracket 51, two third limit bars 52, four second fixed pulleys 53, two second belts 54, and four second connecting blocks 55.

[0037] Two third limiting strips 52 are respectively installed on both sides of the inner wall of the second mounting bracket 51. It should be noted that the third limiting strips 52 are used to limit the position of the support bracket 3.

[0038] Four second fixed pulleys 53 are installed in pairs on both sides of the two second mounting brackets 51;

[0039] Two second connecting blocks 55 are installed on the side wall of the first mounting bracket 41, and two second connecting blocks 55 are installed on the support bracket 3.

[0040] Both second belts 54 on both sides pass through the two second fixed pulleys 53 and the two second connecting blocks 55 on the same side.

[0041] The second connecting block 55 described in the above embodiment is used to fix the second belt 54, thereby driving the support frame 3 to move upward through the linkage relationship between the first belts 44.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a mounting column 61 and a placement plate 62.

[0043] The mounting post 61 is located at the bottom of the placement plate 62, and the shape of the mounting post 61 matches the shape of the mounting groove 31. It should be noted that the placement plate 62 described in the above embodiment can be installed by engaging the mounting post 61 with the placement groove.

[0044] Specifically, when relevant personnel need to adjust the material handling height, the drive mechanism 7 is activated, the drive motor 71 rotates, which can drive the transfer block 72 to move upward, thereby driving the first mounting frame to move upward. The first connecting block 45 set on the inner wall of the outer shell 21 will pull the first belt 44, thereby causing the first belt 44 to move around the first fixed pulley 43 above and below the first mounting frame 41. During this process, the belt on the side of the second mounting frame 51 will move upward, thereby driving the first mounting frame 41 to move upward.

[0045] Similarly, one side of the second belt 54 is restricted by the second connecting block 55 installed on the first mounting frame 41. Through the restriction of the second fixed pulley 53 and the second connecting block 55 near the support frame 3, the support frame 3 is driven to move upward, thereby driving the placement plate 62 on the support frame 3 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the placement plate 62 and thus adjusting the height of the material. When it is necessary to move the material downward, the drive motor 71 can be rotated in the opposite direction to the initial rotation direction.

[0046] In summary, the height-adjustable material handling device of this utility model can adapt to material stacks of different heights and complex terrains, reduce manual intervention, significantly reduce labor costs and time consumption, significantly reduce operational difficulty, improve the continuity and smoothness of handling, and ensure the stable operation of the production line.
