Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model discloses a valve transport vehicle, including a transport frame and moving wheels 1. The transport frame includes a transport rod 2 and a support frame 3. The transport rod 2 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 3, and the moving wheels 1 are mounted on the support frame 3. The transport rod 2 includes a fixed pipe 201, a support rod 202, and a support rod 203. The fixed pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the support frame 3. The surface of the support rod 202 is movably connected to the inner wall of one end of the fixed pipe 201, and the surface of the support rod 203 is movably connected to the inner wall of the other end of the fixed pipe 201. The fixed pipe 201 is provided with a limiting component for fixing the fixed pipe 201 and the support rod 203. Valve lifting components are provided on both the fixed pipe 201 and the support rod 203. A blocking component is provided on the support rod 203, and the blocking component is located between the two valve lifting components.
[0025] Specifically, the movable wheel 1 includes a connecting rod 4, and a rolling wheel 5 is provided on the surface of the connecting rod 4 through a connecting bearing. A positioning bearing 6 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 4. The surface of the support frame 3 is provided with a snap-fit groove 7 that is adapted to the positioning bearing 6. The surface of the snap-fit groove 7 is movably connected to the surface of the positioning bearing 6. A positioning element 8 is connected to the support frame 3 by screws. The positioning element 8 is connected to the positioning bearing 6.
[0026] In this embodiment, the positioning bearing 6 can be limited by the positioning element 8 and the snap-fit groove 7, thereby enabling the installation of the movable wheel 1 and facilitating disassembly and replacement with movable wheels 1 of different specifications as needed. The positioning bearing 6 can reduce friction.
[0027] Specifically, the limiting component includes a fastening screw 9 and an internal threaded ring 10. The internal threaded ring 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing tube 201. The fastening screw 9 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded ring 10 and movably passes through the fixing tube 201 to connect with the support rod 202 or the support rod 203.
[0028] In this embodiment, the fastening screw 9 abuts against the support rod 202 or the support rod 203 to achieve the effect of fixing and limiting the support rod 202 or the support rod 203, preventing easy movement.
[0029] Specifically, the valve lifting component includes two lifting rods 11, a chain 12, and a buckle 13. The two lifting rods 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the fixed pipe 201 and the support rod 203. One end of the chain 12 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 11, and the buckle 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the chain 12. A plastic part 14 is sleeved on the surface of the chain 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the valve can be quickly and easily fixed by the chain 12 and the latch 13, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0031] Specifically, the blocking components include a blocking frame 15 and a blocking mesh 16. The blocking mesh 16 is movably mounted on the blocking frame 15, and the blocking frame 15 is fixedly connected to the support rod 203. The blocking mesh 16 is connected to the blocking frame 15 through a locking member 20.
[0032] In this implementation scheme, the grid 16 can prevent collisions between the two valves to a certain extent, and can also limit the valve's swaying amplitude to avoid accidents.
[0033] Specifically, the grid frame 15 is provided with a guide groove 17, the surface of the grid mesh 16 is movably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 17, the grid frame 15 is provided with multiple through holes 18, the grid mesh 16 is provided with positioning holes 19, and the locking member 20 movably passes through the through holes 18 and the positioning holes 19; the bottom of the grid mesh 16 is fixedly connected with a ground contact rod 21.
[0034] In this implementation scheme, if the valve cannot be removed from the valve lifting component in a timely manner in some cases, the locking part 20 can be pulled out of the through hole 18 and the positioning hole 19 to allow the grid mesh 16 to fall and the ground contact rod 21 to touch the ground. Then the locking part 20 can be inserted back to fix the grid mesh 16 and support it with the ground contact rod 21, which can save the strength of the handling personnel.
[0035] Specifically, a handle 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod 202 away from the fixed tube 201, and a rubber sleeve 23 is fitted onto the surface of the handle 22.
[0036] Both the support rod 202 and the support rod 203 have positioning grooves 24 on their surfaces. The positioning strip 25 is fixedly connected inside the fixing tube 201 and is movably connected to the positioning groove 24.
[0037] In this embodiment, the handle 22 facilitates pushing, and the positioning groove 24 and positioning bar 25 restrict the rotation of the support rod 202 and the support rod 203, reducing the possibility of accidents.
[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the transport vehicle is moved to the valve position using the movable wheels 1. The height of the support rod 203 is lowered. When only one valve is being transported, the valve lifting component on the fixed pipe 201 is used preferentially. At least one chain 12 is fixed on each lifting rod 11, and the number of chains 12 on each lifting rod 11 is the same. The chains 12 are looped around the valve, forming a closed loop through the buckle 13. The valve directly contacts the plastic part 14, reducing wear. When two valves need to be transported, they are fixed using the valve lifting component on the support rod 203. Of course, multiple valve lifting components can be set on both the fixed pipe 201 and the support rod 203 depending on the situation. A barrier component is set between two adjacent valve lifting components to prevent the two valves from colliding during transport.
[0039] As needed, the positions of the support rod 202 and the support rod 203 can be adjusted to extend or shorten the length of both sides of the support frame 3, thereby achieving the effect of saving effort based on the lever principle.
[0040] In addition to its blocking function, the barrier component also provides support. When the valve is moved to its designated location, and in some cases it cannot be immediately removed from the valve lifting assembly, the locking member 20 can be pulled out of the through hole 18 and positioning hole 19, causing the barrier net 16 to fall and the ground contact rod 21 to touch the ground. Then, the locking member 20 can be inserted back in to secure the barrier net 16, supported by the ground contact rod 21, saving effort for the moving personnel. The rod structure also facilitates access to narrow areas.
[0041] In summary, the valve transport vehicle's moving wheels 1 consist of connecting rods 4, rolling wheels 5, and positioning bearings 6, which are easily disassembled and replaced via positioning components 8 and snap-fit grooves 7. The positioning bearings 6 reduce friction, making transport more flexible and labor-saving. The limiting component, composed of fastening screws 9 and internal threaded rings 10, can securely adjust the lengths of the support rods 202 and 203 in the transport rod 2, saving manpower through leverage. The valve lifting component consists of two lifting rods 11, a chain 12, and a locking buckle 13. Plastic parts 14 are fitted onto the surface of the chain 12, making operation simple and efficient. The valve is quickly secured and wear is reduced. The barrier component consists of a barrier frame 15 and a barrier mesh 16, connected by a locking element 20. This prevents the valve from colliding and shaking, and provides support via the ground contact rod 21 when temporarily placed, reducing the burden on the handling personnel. The handle 22 at the end of the support rod 202 is fitted with a rubber sleeve 23, and the positioning grooves 24 on the surfaces of the support rod 202 and the support rod 203 cooperate with the positioning strip 25 inside the fixing tube 201, further improving the convenience and safety of operation, and comprehensively improving the efficiency, safety and convenience of valve handling.
