Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel bar transfer technology, and in particular to a transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction process, the receiving and transfer of reinforcing bars is a crucial step. Current technology uses reinforcing bar transfer devices for this purpose. These devices typically include a transfer track, a transfer cart, and a drive mechanism. The transfer cart carries the reinforcing bars, and the drive mechanism propels it along the track. The drive mechanism comprises a motor, gears, and a rack. The motor is connected to the transfer cart, the gears are mounted at the motor's output, and the rack is fixed to the bottom of the gears and meshes with them. During operation, the pressure between the gears and racks varies depending on the amount of reinforcing bars carried by the cart. Because there is no buffer space between the gears and racks, excessive or insufficient pressure affects the safety of the meshing transmission, reducing their lifespan. Utility Model Content
