Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of construction site transport vehicles, specifically to a construction material transport device. Background Technology
[0002] Construction material transport equipment refers to equipment used on construction sites to transport building materials or miscellaneous materials such as mortar, bricks, sand and gravel, such as handcarts, tricycles, and flatbed trucks.
[0003] However, existing handcarts generally suffer from design flaws in their steering mechanisms, often employing fixed-wheelbase dual-wheel or simple swivel wheel structures. This necessitates frequent manual lifting and steering adjustments in narrow passages, right-angle turns, or complex terrain, severely reducing transportation efficiency. Their unloading methods are also outdated, relying on manual operation of mechanical latches or simple hydraulic rods, which is not only labor-intensive but also makes precise control of the unloading angle difficult, easily leading to material spillage. This patent addresses these pain points by proposing a solution for a construction material transportation device. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures are merely schematic representations of the concept and principles of embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of each embodiment. Specific details or structures of embodiments of this disclosure may be exaggerated in particular portions of certain figures. The disclosures of various publications, patents, and published patent specifications cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0026] In embodiment 1, the transport hopper 1 is composed of a bottom plate 11 and a hopper 14 connected by a hinge 15. The bottom end of the electric cylinder telescopic rod 12 is hinged to the rear end of the bottom plate 11, and the top end is hinged to the rear side of the hopper 14, so as to realize the tipping unloading of the hopper 14. An arched frame 21 is set at the lower rear of the bottom plate 11, and the rear wheels 22 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the arched frame 21 through a rotating shaft to form a driven wheel assembly 2. The U-shaped frame 31 of the steering roller assembly 3 is fixed to the front bottom surface of the bottom plate 11, and a rotatable upper connecting bar 311 is installed at its bottom. The lower connecting bar 38 is connected to the upper connecting bar 311. The rear end is fixed, the crossbeam 35 is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 31, and two L-shaped rotating columns 32 pass through the crossbeam 35 laterally. The upper end of the traction arm 37 is fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped rotating column 32, and the front end is hinged to the front end of the lower connecting strip 38 through the movable beam 36. The arc-shaped electric slide rail 310 is fixed to the middle of the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The electric slider 39 moves along the arc-shaped slide groove and is hinged to the rear end of the upper connecting strip 311 and the lower connecting strip 38. The displacement of the electric slider 39 drives the connecting strip group to move together, so that the traction arm 37 drives the L-shaped rotating column 32 to rotate and achieve steering.
[0027] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the outer end of the L-shaped rotating column 32 is connected to the front wheel 33 via a coupling. The two sets of front wheels 33 are symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the U-shaped frame 31 as a reference to form a mirror structure. When the electric slider 39 slides along the arc-shaped electric slide rail 310, the traction arm 37 drives the L-shaped rotating column 32 to rotate synchronously through the linkage of the upper connecting bar 311 and the lower connecting bar 38, causing the front wheels 33 to deflect in the same direction, forming a four-wheel steering mechanism, which works with the rear wheel 22 to achieve flexible steering. At the same time, the push handle 13 is welded to the rear surface of the base plate 11 for easy manual pushing, and the hinge 15 is set at the connection between the hopper 14 and the base plate 11 to maintain opening and closing stability.
[0028] In embodiment three, a controller is further installed at the push handle 13. This controller connects the arc-shaped electric slide rail 310 and the electric slider 39 via a cable, and an operation button is integrated at the handle of the hinge 15. A lithium battery pack is installed at the bottom of the base plate 11 to power the electric cylinder telescopic rod 12, the arc-shaped electric slide rail 310, and the electric slider 39. During unloading, the electric cylinder telescopic rod 12 is activated by the controller at the hinge 15 to lift the hopper 14. After the material is poured out, it retracts and resets. During the turning process, the operator adjusts the position of the electric slider 39 in the arc-shaped electric slide rail 310 through the controller at the push handle 13 to precisely control the steering angle of the front wheel 33. The arc-shaped slide rail limits the maximum steering angle to 60 degrees, thereby ensuring steering stability.
[0029] Example 4: The structure of the steering roller assembly 3 is optimized by setting the hinge point between the movable beam 36 and the lower connecting bar 38 as a ball joint to enhance the multi-directional freedom of movement; the arched frame 21 and the U-shaped frame 31 are welded from hollow steel pipes to reduce weight, and the rear wheel 22 and the front wheel 33 are equipped with pneumatic tires to improve shock absorption performance; the electric slider 39 has a built-in displacement sensor to feed back the real-time position to the controller, forming a closed-loop control system; the inner wall of the hopper 14 is lined with wear-resistant steel plates, the electric cylinder telescopic rod 12 adopts a double-stage telescopic structure to increase the lifting stroke, and the battery pack is fixed in the bottom groove of the base plate 11 with a waterproof shell.
[0030] The working process of a construction material transportation device:
[0031] After the operator loads the material into the hopper 14, they push the device to move by holding the push handle 13. The rear wheel 22 rotates freely in the direction of travel. When turning, the electric slider 39 is adjusted in the arc-shaped electric slide rail 310 by the controller at the hinge 15 or the push handle 13. The electric slider 39 drives the upper connecting bar 311 and the lower connecting bar 38 to rotate, forcing the traction arm 37 to rotate around the L-shaped rotating column 32, driving the front wheel 33 to deflect synchronously to achieve turning. When unloading, the operator activates the electric cylinder telescopic rod 12 to lift the rear end of the hopper 14 so that it flips around the hinge 15, and the material is poured out from the front end of the hopper 14. After completion, the electric cylinder telescopic rod 12 is retracted to reset the hopper 14. During the turning process, the electric slider 39 has a built-in displacement sensor that provides real-time feedback on the position to the controller to form a closed-loop control. The ball joint hinge point enhances the turning coordination between the movable beam 36 and the lower connecting bar 38. The pneumatic tires absorb ground vibrations to ensure stable transportation. The battery continuously supplies power to the electric cylinder telescopic rod 12, the electric slide rail 310, and the controller until the material transportation task is completed and the power is turned off.
[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
