Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sponge processing technology, and in particular to a sponge transfer tool. Background Technology

[0002] After the sponge is produced, it needs to go through processes such as cutting, slicing, and rolling. The rolled sponge is usually transferred to the packaging station using a transfer vehicle. Traditional transfer vehicles usually include a frame with multiple shelves on the frame. The rolled sponge is placed on the shelves. With this type of transfer vehicle, the sponge is prone to getting dusty during the transfer process, and the dust needs to be cleaned before subsequent packaging.

[0003] To address this issue, some manufacturers have designed a transfer vehicle with a protective cover. Such a structure can be referenced from a tooling used in the transportation of automotive parts disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN107364695A, which prevents dust accumulation on the workpieces by setting up a dust cover.

[0004] Existing transfer vehicles typically require ropes to secure the sponges and prevent them from falling. Furthermore, due to the dust cover, workers need to reach inside the dust cover to remove the sponges during unloading, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, existing technologies require improvement and development. Utility Model Content

[0012] The second guide plate is provided with a plurality of second limiting blocks arranged at intervals along the y direction, and a second limiting groove is formed between two adjacent second limiting blocks.

[0013] Specifically, the shelf is provided with a plurality of third limiting blocks arranged at intervals along the y-direction, and a third limiting groove is formed between two adjacent third limiting blocks.

[0014] Specifically, the frame is also equipped with a control panel for controlling the switches of the first rotary drive mechanism and the second rotary drive mechanism.

[0015] Specifically, both the first rotary drive mechanism and the second rotary drive mechanism are motor gear drive devices.

[0016] Specifically, a handle is also connected to one end of the frame.
