Detailed Implementation

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0024] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the body-in-white transfer trolley in an embodiment of this utility model;

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the body-in-white transfer trolley provided by this utility model includes a trolley body 10 and a support component 20 disposed on the trolley body 10. The support component 20 is applicable to both short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase models, facilitating the transfer of different models and helping to reduce production costs.

[0026] The support assembly 20 includes a first support unit 21 and a second support unit 22. The first support unit 21 is disposed on the trolley body 10 and located at the front end of the trolley body 10. The two sets of first support units 21 are respectively disposed on both sides of the trolley body 10. The second support unit 22 is disposed on the trolley body 10 and located at the rear end of the trolley body 10. The two sets of second support units 22 are respectively disposed on both sides of the trolley body 10. The first support unit 21 and the second support unit 22 can support long wheelbase vehicles, making it convenient to transport the body-in-white of long wheelbase vehicles.

[0027] The first support unit 21 includes a first support column 211, a first support rod 212, and a first limiting block 213. One end of the first support column 211 is connected to the trolley body 10. The first support column 211 is set vertically. The first support rod 212 is set on the first support column 211 at the end away from the trolley body 10. The first limiting block 213 is set on the first support rod 212. A first limiting plate 214 is provided on the end of the first support rod 212 away from the first limiting block 213. The bottom edge of the body-in-white is locked between the first limiting block 213 and the first limiting plate 214, which can effectively improve the stability of the body-in-white during transportation and improve the reliability of the structure.

[0028] The second support unit 22 includes a second support column 221, a second support rod 222, and a second limiting block 223. One end of the second support column 221 is connected to the trolley body 10. The second support column 221 is set vertically. The second support rod 222 is set on the second support column 221 at the end away from the trolley body 10. The second limiting block 223 is set on the second support rod 222. A second limiting plate 224 is provided on the end of the second support rod 222 away from the second limiting block 223. The bottom edge of the body-in-white is locked between the second limiting block 223 and the second limiting plate 224, which can effectively improve the stability of the body-in-white during transportation and improve the reliability of the structure.

[0029] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjusting support unit in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 ; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjusting support unit in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 .

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 20 also includes an adjusting support unit 23. Two sets of adjusting support units 23 are located on both sides of the trolley body 10, between the first support unit 21 and the second support unit 22. The adjusting support unit 23 includes a sleeve base 231, a third support column 232, a third support rod 233, and a third limiting block 234. The sleeve base 231 is mounted on the trolley body 10. One end of the third support column 232 is movably mounted inside the sleeve base 231. The third support rod 233 is mounted on the third support column 232 at the end away from the sleeve base 231. The third limiting block 234 is mounted on the third support rod 233. A third limiting plate 235 is provided on the end of the third support rod 233 away from the third limiting block 234. The bottom edge of the body-in-white is engaged between the third limiting block 234 and the third limiting plate 235, which can effectively improve the stability of the body-in-white during transportation and improve the reliability of the structure. The first support unit 21 and the adjusting support unit 23 can support short-wheelbase vehicles, making it convenient to transport the body-in-white of short-wheelbase vehicles.

[0031] The sleeve base 231 is a rectangular sleeve, and the third support column 232 is a rectangular prism adapted to the sleeve base 231. One end of the third support column 232 is telescopically inserted into the sleeve base 231. A tilting groove 236 is provided on one side of the sleeve base 231, and the third support column 232 can be tilted along the tilting groove 236. A limiting groove 237 is provided on the sleeve base 231. The limiting groove 237 is located on the two sides of the sleeve base 231 adjacent to the tilting groove 236. The limiting groove 237 is vertically arranged on the sleeve base 231. A limiting rod 238 is provided at one end of the third support column 232, and the limiting rod 238 is movably inserted into the limiting groove 237.

[0032] When the support unit 23 is needed to support a short wheelbase vehicle, the third support column 232 is set vertically inside the sleeve base 231, and the limiting rod 238 is located at the bottom end of the limiting groove 237. The inner wall of the sleeve base 231 supports the third support column 232, so that the third support column 232 is supported vertically. When supporting a long wheelbase vehicle, the third support column 232 is raised so that the limiting rod 238 is located at the top of the limiting groove 237. At this time, the third support column 232 can tilt towards the opening of the tilting groove 236, thereby tilting down the third support column 232 and increasing the clearance space when supporting a long wheelbase vehicle.

[0033] The trolley body 10 is provided with a support boss 11. The support boss 11 is located on the side of the first support unit 21 away from the adjustment support unit 23. The support boss 11 is used to support the front end of the body-in-white of short wheelbase and long wheelbase models, thereby improving the stability of the body-in-white during transportation.

[0034] The trolley body 10 is equipped with a push handle 12, which is located at one end of the trolley body 10. The push handle 12 can facilitate the operator to support and push the trolley body 10 to transfer the body-in-white.

[0035] The role and effect of the embodiments

[0036] The white body transfer trolley provided by this utility model includes a trolley body 10 and a support component 20 disposed on the trolley body 10. The support component 20 is applicable to both short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase models, facilitating the transfer of different models and helping to reduce production costs.

[0037] When the support unit 23 is needed to support a short wheelbase vehicle, the third support column 232 is set vertically inside the sleeve base 231, and the limiting rod 238 is located at the bottom end of the limiting groove 237. The inner wall of the sleeve base 231 supports the third support column 232, so that the third support column 232 is supported vertically. When supporting a long wheelbase vehicle, the third support column 232 is raised so that the limiting rod 238 is located at the top of the limiting groove 237. At this time, the third support column 232 can tilt towards the opening of the tilting groove 236, thereby tilting down the third support column 232 and increasing the clearance space when supporting a long wheelbase vehicle.

[0038] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
