Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics packaging technology, and in particular to a vehicle roof transport device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing automotive manufacturing production lines, different factories produce different parts to leverage their respective strengths. This division of labor and collaboration optimizes resource allocation and improves production efficiency. In particular, the production of car roofs is typically handled by a factory specializing in car roof manufacturing, which then transfers the finished roofs to other factories.
[0003] However, during transportation, car roofs are usually secured to the transport vehicle using nylon straps or steel cables. When the transport vehicle encounters bumpy or potholed road sections, the roofs may shake and be impacted, which can easily damage the car roofs loaded inside the transport vehicle.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a car roof transport device that reduces the occurrence of damage to the car roofs loaded in the transport vehicle when the transport vehicle encounters bumpy or potholed road sections is an urgent technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution for a car roof transport device, comprising: a base 1, on which a connecting rod 2 is provided, the connecting rod 2 being two sets, each set consisting of two rods, and a connecting plate 3 being provided between each set of connecting rods 2; a support assembly 4, on which a buffer 5 is provided, and both ends of the support assembly 4 being connected to the two connecting plates 3 respectively through the buffer 5; the support assembly 4 being used to support the car roof; and a limiting assembly 6, which is provided on the base 1 and limits the movement of the car roof.
[0031] It should be noted that, for ease of viewing, Figure 2 The view of the support component 4 and the buffer component 5 is omitted to make the positional relationship of the limiting component 6 more prominent. The base 1 is connected to the vehicle using known steel wire ropes and fixing straps, and this application does not limit the method of fixing the base 1 to the vehicle.
[0032] Preferably, the base 1 is equipped with casters with locking devices to facilitate movement of the base 1. It should be noted that casters with locking devices are components known to those skilled in the art, and this application does not improve upon or limit their use.
[0033] Specifically, first, the processed car roof is placed on the support assembly 4. Then, the limiting assembly 6 is adjusted to limit and fix the car roof. Subsequently, during transportation, if the car roof encounters bumps, the impact force is transmitted from the base 1 to the connecting rod 2, and then to the connecting plate 3. Finally, the buffer 5 absorbs or mitigates the impact force to reduce the impact on the car roof, thereby protecting it.
[0034] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, the connecting plate 3 is provided with a groove 8, and the two opposite inner sidewalls of the groove 8 are provided with a first blind hole 9 and a second blind hole 10. The buffer 5 is disposed in the first blind hole 9 and the second blind hole 10 and slides between the first blind hole 9 and the second blind hole 10.
[0035] Furthermore, the buffer 5 includes a sliding rod 501, a first spring 502, and a second spring 503; the two ends of the sliding rod 501 are respectively disposed in the first blind hole 9 and the second blind hole 10, and a positioning block 11 is disposed on the sliding rod 501; the first spring 502 passes through the upper end of the sliding rod 501, and the two ends of the first spring 502 abut against the top surface of the positioning block 11 and the top wall of the first blind hole 9, respectively; the second spring 503 passes through the lower end of the sliding rod 501, and the two ends of the second spring 503 abut against the bottom surface of the positioning block 11 and the top wall of the second blind hole 10, respectively.
[0036] The diameters of the first blind hole 9 and the second blind hole 10 are larger than the diameter of the positioning rod, so that the upper and lower ends of the positioning rod can be placed in the first blind hole 9 and the second blind hole 10, and the positioning rod will not come out of the first blind hole 9 and the second blind hole 10 when it moves up and down in the groove 8.
[0037] Specifically, when the car roof is subjected to a downward impact, the support component 4 is subjected to force and moves downward, which in turn causes the positioning block 11 and the positioning rod to move downward. The second spring 503 between the positioning block 11 and the top wall of the second blind hole 10 is subjected to force and deforms. The second spring 503 converts the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy, thereby achieving the effect of buffering and offsetting the impact force.
[0038] When the car roof is subjected to an upward impact, the support component 4 is subjected to force and moves upward, which in turn drives the positioning block 11 and the positioning rod to move upward. The first spring 502 between the positioning block 11 and the top wall of the first blind hole 9 is subjected to force and deforms. The first spring 502 converts the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy, thereby achieving the effect of buffering and offsetting the impact force.
[0039] See Figure 4 In some embodiments, the support assembly 4 includes a support frame 401, a support rod 402, and a support plate 403. Both ends of the support frame 401 are connected to a sliding rod 501. The support rod 402 is mounted on the support frame 401 and has a ball-head pin 12. A ball-head seat 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the support plate 403, and a first rubber pad 14 is provided on the top surface of the support plate 403. The ball-head pin 12 and the ball-head seat 13 cooperate to allow the support plate 403 to rotate on the support rod 402. Furthermore, an abutment ring 15 is provided on the support rod 402, located below the ball-head pin 12.
[0040] The first rubber pad 14 contacts the car roof to prevent it from being scratched. There are multiple support rods 402 and support plates 403, which are evenly arranged on the support frame 401. The support plates 403 rotate at multiple angles on the support rods 402 through the cooperation of ball head pins 12 and ball head seats 13, so that the multiple support plates 403 fit more closely to the bottom surface of the car roof, making the car roof more evenly stressed and more stable during movement. The limiting ring limits the rotation angle of the support plates 403 to prevent the support plates 403 from rotating too much and scratching the car roof with their sharp edges.
[0041] See Figure 6In some embodiments, the limiting component 6 includes a limiting rod 601 and a first limiting block 602. A first fixing block 16 is provided on the limiting rod 601, a first slider 17 is provided on the first limiting block 602, and a first sliding groove 18 is provided on the limiting rod 601. The first slider 17 cooperates with the first sliding groove 18 so that the first limiting block 602 slides on the limiting rod 601. A third spring 19 is provided inside the first limiting block 602. The two ends of the third spring 19 abut against the bottom surface of the first fixing block 16 and the bottom inner wall of the first limiting block 602, respectively.
[0042] When the car roof is subjected to an upward impact, the first slider 17 slides in the first groove 18, the first limit block 602 moves upward, and the third spring 19 deforms, converting the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy, thereby mitigating the impact effect.
[0043] In some embodiments, the limiting component 6 further includes a second limiting block 603, a second fixing block 20 is provided on the limiting rod 601, a second slider 21 is provided on the second limiting block 603, and a second sliding groove 22 is provided on the limiting rod 601. The second slider 21 cooperates with the second sliding groove 22 so that the second limiting block 603 slides on the limiting rod 601. A fourth spring 23 is provided inside the second limiting block 603, and the two ends of the fourth spring 23 respectively abut against the top surface of the second fixing block 20 and the top inner sidewall of the second limiting block 603. Further, a second rubber pad 24 is provided on the bottom outer sidewall of the first limiting block 602 and the top outer sidewall of the second limiting block 603.
[0044] When the car roof is subjected to a downward impact, the second slider 21 slides in the second groove 22, the second limit block 603 moves downward, and the fourth spring 23 deforms, converting the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy, thereby mitigating the impact effect.
[0045] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, a rotating seat 25 is provided at the bottom of the limiting rod 601, the limiting rod 601 rotates on the rotating seat 25, and the rotating seat 25 is slidably connected to the base 1.
[0046] Preferably, a placement groove 7 is provided on the base 1, and the rotating seat 25 is disposed in the placement groove 7 and slides within the placement groove 7. By rotating the limiting rod 601 on the rotating seat 25 and sliding the rotating seat 25 within the placement groove 7, when it is necessary to place the car roof, the limiting rod 601 is rotated and moved to the placement groove in the side area of the connecting rod 2, thereby reducing the impact on the placement of the car roof.
[0047] In some embodiments, there are two sets of limiting components 6, which are arranged opposite to each other and positioned between the two sets of connecting rods 2. The two sets of limiting components 6 provide better fixation for the car roof; when placing the car roof, only the limiting component 6 on one side of the base 1 needs to be adjusted to store it.
[0048] Work process
[0049] First, the processed car roof is placed on the support plate 403. The ball joint 13 on the support plate 403 rotates on the ball pin 12. The support plate 403 deflects with the arc of the bottom of the car roof. Multiple support plates 403 are in contact with the bottom surface of the car roof.
[0050] Then, move the rotating seat 25 to the middle of the placement slot 7, rotate the rotating seat 25, and push the first limiting block 602 upward and the second limiting block 603 downward respectively. The first limiting block 602 and the second limiting block 603 will clamp the side of the car roof, thereby limiting the car roof. The placement of the car roof is completed.
[0051] Finally, push the base 1, the casters will rotate, and the vehicle will be moved to the storage area or into the truck bed or cargo box via a ramp or lifting platform.
[0052] When the car roof is subjected to a downward impact, the support plate 403 and the support rod 402 move downward under force, causing the support frame 401 to move downward. The positioning block 11 and the positioning rod move downward under force, and the second spring 503 deforms under force. The second spring 503 converts the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy.
[0053] Simultaneously, the second limit block 603 moves downward under force, and the fourth spring 23 deforms, converting the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy, thus mitigating the impact effect.
[0054] When the car roof is subjected to an upward impact, the support plate 403 and the support rod 402 move upward under force, which drives the support frame 401 to move upward. The positioning block 11 and the positioning rod move upward under force, and the first spring 502 deforms under force. The first spring 502 converts the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy.
[0055] Simultaneously, the first limit stop 602 moves upward under force, and the third spring 19 deforms, converting the kinetic energy carried by the impact force into its own elastic potential energy, thus mitigating the impact effect.
