Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of special vehicle modification technology, specifically relating to a folding climbing mechanism applied to a work robot transport vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate the unloading and loading of robots from the transport vehicle, the vehicle needs to be equipped with a climbing mechanism to create a ramp for the robots. Traditional climbing mechanisms are relatively simple, typically consisting of a single, integral ramp plate. During operation, it is pulled directly out of the vehicle from the rear along an internal track, with the end furthest from the vehicle placed on the ground to form the ramp. While ensuring functionality and load-bearing capacity, these traditional integral ramp plates have drawbacks such as large size, heavy weight, large space requirements when stored in the vehicle, and inconvenient deployment and retrieval.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, contents, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0026] This embodiment proposes a foldable climbing mechanism, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the system mainly includes a mounting platform 1, a ramp 2, and supporting columns 3. The mounting platform 1 is typically installed inside the transport vehicle. The transport robot is loaded via a load-bearing platform located at the top, and the folded ramp 2 is stored via C-shaped tracks inside. The ramp 2 serves as the loading and unloading passage for the robot to enter and exit the vehicle. The supporting columns 3 are used to secure and support the ramp 2 in its unfolded state, and also serve as guardrails for the loading and unloading passage.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the mounting platform 1 includes a main frame 1-1, a load-bearing platform 1-2, C-shaped rails 1-3, hooks 1-4, and fixed bases 1-5. The main frame 1-1 is welded from profiles. Fixed bases 1-5 are located at the front end and the outer sides of the left and right ends of the main frame 1-1, allowing the mounting platform 1 to be fixedly connected to the vehicle floor using bolts. The load-bearing platform 1-2 for loading and transporting the robot is mounted on top of the main frame 1-1. Two hooks 1-4 are located at the rear end of the load-bearing platform 1-2 to secure the folded ramp plate 2, ensuring stability and reliability during transport. Two C-shaped rails 1-3 are installed inside the main frame 1-1 on the left and right sides, below the load-bearing platform 1-2. The space between the two C-shaped rails 1-3 is used to store the folded ramp plate 2. Baffles are located at the front end of the two C-shaped rails 1-3, and limit components are located at the rear end. The bearings 2-6 in the ramp plate 2 can slide back and forth on the C-shaped rails 1-3.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the climbing plate 2 includes an upper climbing plate 2-1, a long row of hinges 2-2, a lower climbing plate 2-3, a buckle 2-4, an anti-collision limiting rubber block 2-5, a bearing 2-6, a fixed shaft 2-7, and a locking nut 2-8. The frames of the upper climbing plate 2-1 and the lower climbing plate 2-3 are made of lightweight alloy profiles with a non-slip surface. The rear end of the upper climbing plate 2-1 is connected to the front end of the lower climbing plate 2-3 via the long row of hinges 2-2, forming a middle flip structure. The front end of the upper climbing plate 2-1 has round holes on both sides. Two bearings 2-6 are installed in the two round holes via the fixed shaft 2-7 and the locking nut 2-8, allowing the bearings 2-6 to slide back and forth in the C-shaped track 1-3. Figure 5 As shown. Two anti-collision limiting rubber blocks 2-5 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the front rear of the frame of the upper ramp plate 2-1, serving as support and limiting points at the contact point with the carriage. Two buckles 2-4 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the front rear of the frame of the lower ramp plate 2-3, used to secure it to the two hooks 1-4 of the mounting platform 1 after folding. Both the upper ramp plate 2-1 and the lower ramp plate 2-3 have two pin holes on each side near the end of the long row hinge 2-2, used to engage with the safety pins 3-5 of the support column 3.

[0029] The supporting columns 3 consist of two symmetrical columns, one on the left and one on the right. For example... Figure 6As shown, each support column 3 includes a vertical rib 3-1, a diagonal rib 3-2, a guardrail 3-3, a slot 3-4, and a safety pin 3-5. The vertical rib 3-1, diagonal rib 3-2, and guardrail 3-3 are welded together to form a triangular structure. The slot 3-4 is welded and lapped onto the vertical rib 3-1 and diagonal rib 3-2, located inside the triangular structure and below the guardrail 3-3. The slot 3-4 has a fixing hole for the safety pin 3-5. The guardrail 3-3 has a lug for an anti-loss steel wire rope, and the safety pin 3-5 is connected to the lug via the anti-loss steel wire rope. After the upper ramp plate 2-1 and lower ramp plate 2-3 are unfolded, the slots 3-4 of the two support columns 3 respectively engage the central flip structure of the ramp plate 2 from the left and right sides, thus securing the ramp plate 2. The safety pin 3-5 is inserted into the fixing hole on the card slot 3-4, and the pin holes of the upper climbing plate 2-1 and the lower climbing plate 2-3, forming a stable and reliable climbing channel.

[0030] When the foldable climbing mechanism of the present invention is in the folded storage state, the upper climbing plate 2-1 and the lower climbing plate 2-3 overlap and are stored in the space between the two C-shaped guide rails 1-3 at the bottom of the mounting platform 1. They are fixed by two buckles 2-4 on the back of the front end of the lower climbing plate 2-3 and two hooks 1-4 at the rear end of the load-bearing platform 1-2 to ensure that the transportation process is stable and reliable. After the support column 3 is retracted, it is fixed on the top surface of the load-bearing platform 1-2.

[0031] When the folding climbing mechanism of this invention is unfolded, the two buckles 2-4 are first separated from the hooks 1-4, and the overlapping upper climbing plate 2-1 and lower climbing plate 2-3 are pulled outward along the C-shaped guide rail 1-3. Then, it is flipped 180° backward so that the lower climbing plate 2-3 is placed on the ground. Then, the support column 3 is installed to form a climbing channel. The work robot walks from the mounting platform along the ramp out of the cabin and travels to the ground to perform its work task. The reverse operation process is the work robot entering the cabin after performing its task and the folding and retraction process of the climbing mechanism.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
