Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel box girder transportation technology, and in particular to a drive component and a steering mechanism for lifting and transporting flatcars. Background Technology
[0002] The company's factory area has a huge volume of steel structure components that need to be transported. Because the processing and installation of steel structure components usually need to be carried out in a specific order, the transportation can ensure that the components are used at the right time and place, avoiding construction delays or quality problems caused by incorrect sequence. At the same time, the transportation of steel structure components also makes it easier to enter a suitable site for subsequent processing.
[0003] Existing transportation methods typically involve storing steel structural components on supports and then transporting them using appropriate vehicles, such as traditional fuel-powered beam transport vehicles. These vehicles have heavy workloads and require frequent and prolonged use, leading to increased equipment damage and high maintenance costs. Furthermore, the use of diesel fuel in these vehicles results in high fuel consumption, making them neither economical nor environmentally friendly. Utility Model Content

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0042] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0043] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed description of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0044] Example 1:
[0045] like Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a drive component, which is specifically used for the movement of a transport flatcar. It can not only ensure the stability during transportation and reduce bumps, but also achieve slight adjustments, that is, adjust the uneven areas of the road surface, thereby achieving more stable movement of the transport flatcar.
[0046] The specific structure of this application includes:
[0047] Connector 1, which can be a plate or a flange, has multiple mounting holes spaced apart on it to facilitate connection with the frame and ensure structural stability;
[0048] The suspension plate 2 is vertically installed at the bottom of the connector 1; its connection method can be welded and fixed, and it is used to install other components later. Specifically, it is used in conjunction with the subsequent rotating shaft to achieve a certain degree of swing, which can be applied to uneven road surfaces.
[0049] The rotating shaft 3 is movably mounted on the suspension plate 2. The rotating shaft 3 serves as a rotation support. The installation method of the rotating shaft 3 and the suspension plate 2 is the existing one, thus forming a rotation point, which facilitates the rotation of the subsequent support frame 4, thereby forming a structure similar to a balance bridge.
[0050] The support frame 4 is connected at its top to the end of the rotating shaft 3. As mentioned above, it forms a balance bridge with the rotating shaft 3 and the suspension plate 2 to ensure that the flatcar can travel stably on the road surface.
[0051] The drive motor 5 is installed inside the support frame 4. The support frame 4 has a certain assembly space for installing the drive motor 5, which also protects the drive motor 5 and ensures its stable operation.
[0052] The drive wheel 6 is located on one side of the support frame 4 and is connected to the output end of the drive motor 5;
[0053] The driven wheel 7 is located on the other side of the support frame 4. The connection between the driving wheel 6 and the drive motor 5 is existing, that is, the driving motor drives the driving wheel 6 to move. Similarly, the installation method of the driven wheel 7 is also existing. After the driving wheel 6 moves, it can drive the driven wheel 7 to move, thus completing the transportation function.
[0054] To better achieve transportation stability and reduce bumps, this application is designed with a function similar to a balance bridge, thereby eliminating the tilt of the road surface during transportation and thus better ensuring transportation stability.
[0055] In one embodiment, to better achieve motion, this application designs a driving wheel and a driven wheel. Specifically, both the driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7 include:
[0056] Steel wheel 601 serves as a support wheel to ensure the stable transport of the entire flatcar.
[0057] A polyurethane coating layer 602 is fitted onto the outside of the steel wheel 601. This application utilizes the polyurethane coating layer 602 to reduce vibration, thereby ensuring that the driven wheel 7 and the driving wheel 6 can travel stably on the road surface.
[0058] When in use, this application is installed under the vehicle frame. Specifically, the connector 1 is provided with a plurality of bolt connection holes 101 spaced apart, which can well ensure the stability of the connection.
[0059] To ensure the stability of the support frame 4 during swinging, there are at least two suspension plates 2 and at least two rotating shafts 3 in this application. The suspension plates 2 and the rotating shafts 3 are in one-to-one correspondence. This can better ensure that the support frame 4 provides better support during swinging, thereby ensuring stability.
[0060] Further explanation is provided regarding this application:
[0061] Compared to existing transport flatcars, this application uses an electric motor drive, or can be powered by a lithium battery, which can save energy and protect the environment.
[0062] This application is equipped with a rotating shaft, and the support frame 4 is movably mounted on the rotating shaft 3, which can form a structure similar to a balance bridge. When the road surface is uneven, the support frame can tilt accordingly to adapt to the road surface, thereby improving transportation.
[0063] When in use, this application is installed at the bottom of the frame as the power source for the frame. When the drive motor 5 is started, the drive motor 5 drives the drive wheel 6 to move, and the driven wheel 7 moves accordingly, thus realizing the transportation of the frame. The drive wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7 are covered with a polyurethane coating layer 602, which can reduce vibration and improve adaptability.
[0064] The support frame 4 in this application can be designed as a frame structure, with the drive motor 5 installed inside. This saves space and ensures that the center of gravity of this part is located inside the support frame 4. Combined with the aforementioned rotating shaft 3, this ensures that the support frame can be better adjusted when encountering uneven road surfaces. The output end of the drive motor 5 in this application is located between the two suspension plates 2, and the suspension plates 2 are located at both ends of the support frame. This ensures that the center of the drive motor 5 is located inside the support frame 4. Combined with the balance bridge structure, this better ensures stability.
[0065] Example 2:
[0066] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, this application also discloses a steering mechanism for a lifting and transporting flatcar, comprising:
[0067] The driving components 8 described in multiple embodiments 1 are arranged in pairs and cooperate with each other. Preferably, there are four driving components 8, which are evenly divided into two groups.
[0068] At least one linkage assembly 9, any one of the linkage assemblies 9 cooperates with any one group of the drive assemblies 8, preferably two linkage assemblies 9, that is, one group of drive assemblies 8 cooperates with one linkage assembly 9, so as to achieve linkage;
[0069] At least one steering cylinder 10 is provided, and any one of the steering cylinders 10 cooperates with any one of the drive components 8. The number of steering cylinders 10 and the number of connecting rod components 9 in this application are the same and correspond one-to-one. Compared with the existing structure, this application uses a single steering cylinder 10 for steering movement.
[0070] The link assembly 9 includes:
[0071] Two connecting rod seats 901 are connected one-to-one with the drive assembly 8. The connecting rod seats 901 facilitate the subsequent movable connection of the connecting rods.
[0072] The connecting rod 902 is hinged to the connecting rod seat 901 at both ends. The connecting rod and the connecting rod seat 901 in this application cooperate with each other to facilitate steering.
[0073] One end of the steering cylinder 10 is hinged to the drive assembly 8, and the other end is movably mounted with a cylinder seat 11. This cylinder seat 11 is subsequently used to connect to the bottom of the vehicle frame to facilitate subsequent steering.
[0074] Preferably, the two drive components 8, the linkage assembly and the steering cylinder are combined to form a complete steering unit. The two steering units cooperate with each other to realize the steering and transportation of the transport flatcar.
[0075] Further explanation is provided regarding this application:
[0076] When in use, this application is installed at the bottom of the transport flatcar. When the work starts, the drive motor 5 of the drive assembly 8 works, thus carrying out transportation. When turning is required, the steering cylinder 10 is pulled, which drives one drive assembly 8 to turn. Under the drive of the connecting rod assembly 9, another drive assembly 8 located in the same group also turns, thereby realizing the turning of the entire transport flatcar.
