Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a chassis handling device, belonging to the field of excavator assembly technology. Background Technology

[0002] For fixed tilting machines (a type of positioner that only rotates 180° around a slewing bearing in either the forward or reverse direction and has no moving or lifting functions), the workers hoist the lower frame onto the tilting machine, and after the tilting machine tilts, the slewing bearing and support rollers are assembled at fixed points. After assembly, the machine is tilted and hoisted onto the production line. The following problems exist:

[0003] 1. Once the undercarriage frame is placed on the tipper, the lifting gear is difficult to disassemble;

[0004] 2. There is a safety hazard if personnel work within the turning area of ​​the tilting machine;

[0005] 3. When assembling the support rollers, the hydraulic cylinder of the tilting machine blocks the installation of the support roller shims, which poses a risk of pinching fingers. The tightening work space is limited, making the operation difficult and inefficient.

[0006] 4. When tightening the slewing bearing bolts in the tilting state, the torque is large, and there is relative displacement between the tilting machine's clamping arm and the frame, which poses a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an undercarriage handling device, which solves the issues of limited hoisting and working space, reduces workload and safety hazards, and improves work efficiency.

[0008] This utility model is achieved according to the following technical solution:

[0009] A chassis handling device, comprising:

[0010] The walking device includes a box and multiple wheels, which drive the box to move.

[0011] The lifting device includes a lifting bracket and a lifting platform, wherein the lifting bracket is connected between the housing and the lifting platform;

[0012] A limiting component is installed on the lifting platform to limit the lower frame placed on the lifting platform and prevent the lower frame from rotating during assembly.

[0013] The flexible precision positioning mechanism for the undercarriage is arranged between the housing and the lifting platform. It can position the lifting height of multiple lifting platforms, and each positioning height corresponds to a model of inverted undercarriage. After lifting, it is used to send the inverted undercarriage into the tilting machine or to remove the inverted undercarriage from the tilting machine.

[0014] In some embodiments, the flexible precision positioning mechanism of the lower frame includes a positioning component I mounted on the housing and a positioning component II mounted on the lifting platform; the positioning component I and the positioning component II have multiple vertically distributed positioning points, each positioning point corresponding to the lifting height of a lifting platform.

[0015] In some embodiments, the positioning component I consists of a bracket I and a metal ring. The bottom of the bracket I is fixed to the housing, and the metal ring is fixed to the top of the bracket I. The positioning component II consists of a bracket II and a plurality of inductive proximity switches. The bracket II is fixed to the lifting platform, and the plurality of inductive proximity switches are installed vertically and at intervals on the bracket II. When the inductive proximity switch corresponding to the pre-lifting height is activated, the lifting bracket drives the lifting platform to rise. When the activated inductive proximity switch rises to align with the metal ring on the bracket I, the lifting bracket stops lifting.

[0016] In some embodiments, the bracket II is provided with a strip groove, the inductive proximity switch passes through the strip groove and is clamped to the bracket II by two nuts, and the position of the inductive proximity switch can be adjusted by loosening the nuts.

[0017] In some embodiments, the lifting support adopts a scissor-type lifting structure, mainly composed of a lifting cylinder and a scissor-type support, which is driven to open or close by the lifting cylinder.

[0018] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the lifting platform is provided with a plurality of inverted T-shaped grooves arranged side by side at preset intervals and extending along the direction of the forward and backward movement of the walking device, and the limiting component is installed in the inverted T-shaped grooves.

[0019] In some embodiments, the limiting component consists of a T-bolt and a pin. The T-bolt is inserted into an inverted T-shaped groove and can slide along the inverted T-shaped groove. The pin is screwed onto the T-bolt and is used to cooperate with the lower frame hole to limit the lower frame.

[0020] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the lifting platform is secured with a polyurethane plate, which is countersunk screws at the point where it contacts the underframe, to prevent damage to the paint of the underframe.

[0021] In some embodiments, the housing is an inverted concave structure; the middle part of the housing is a hollow structure, and the lifting bracket is assembled in the hollow position in the middle of the housing; the plurality of wheels include a front drive wheel and a rear driven wheel, and the front drive wheel is driven by a drive motor.

[0022] In some embodiments, the front drive wheel and the rear driven wheel both have H-plane cross sections for moving on the guide rail.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] 1. The underframe is hoisted onto the underframe transport device and transported to the tilting machine at a specified height. After the frame is tilted, the underframe transport device connects the frame to the assembly area for slewing bearing and support roller assembly, thus realizing semi-automation of underframe tilting and assembly.

[0025] 2. After the use of this undercarriage handling device, it can replace fixed-point assembly in the turning area of ​​the turning machine, solving the problems of high labor intensity, low efficiency and safety hazards of fixed-point assembly on the turning machine.
