Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer vehicle technology, and in particular to a transfer vehicle equipped with an inkjet printer. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production processes, material transfer and labeling are indispensable and important links. For various semi-finished products, efficient transfer and accurate labeling of relevant information are required during their production, processing, storage and transportation to ensure orderly production management and traceability of product quality.
[0003] Currently, in many manufacturing enterprises, the transfer of semi-finished products mainly relies on traditional transfer equipment, such as ordinary handcarts and forklifts. These traditional transfer tools only have basic material handling functions and cannot complete the inkjet printing operation simultaneously during the transfer process. If semi-finished products are to be inkjet printed, they often need to be unloaded from the transfer equipment, moved to a dedicated inkjet printing station, and then reloaded back into the transfer equipment after the inkjet printing is completed to continue the subsequent transfer process. This method not only increases labor and time costs but also reduces production efficiency. At the same time, frequent loading and unloading operations can easily damage semi-finished products and affect product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transfer vehicle equipped with an inkjet printer, which can conveniently and promptly print codes on semi-finished products for product traceability, effectively solving the problem that existing semi-finished product transfer and printing operations need to be carried out separately, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0005] This utility model provides a transfer vehicle with an inkjet printer, including a trolley body, a cargo platform fixedly installed on the upper end of the trolley body, slide rails on both sides of the cargo platform, an electric slide table slidably installed on the slide rails, a liftable lifting rod installed on the electric slide table, and an automatic inkjet printer for inkjet printing on semi-finished products fixedly installed on the upper end of the lifting rod.
[0006] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly installed on the electric slide, an mounting plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame, and a lifting drive mechanism for driving the lifting rod to rise and fall is provided on the support frame.
[0007] Preferably, the lifting drive mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a lifting screw, and the upper end of the lifting screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the support frame.
[0008] Preferably, a guide rod is provided on one side of the lifting screw, and the upper and lower ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame and the upper surface of the mounting plate, respectively.
[0009] Preferably, a screw sleeve is threaded onto the lifting screw, and a lifting block is slidably sleeved on the guide rod. Both the screw sleeve and the lifting rod are fixedly installed inside the lifting block.
[0010] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the support frame, and the lifting rod is slidably connected within the limiting plate.
[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the lifting rod is slidably sleeved inside the fixed sleeve, and the fixed sleeve is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the electric slide.
[0012] Preferably, mounting seats are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the fixed sleeve, and an extension arm is rotatably installed in the mounting seat.
[0013] Preferably, support blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the lifting rod, and movable grooves for the support blocks to move are opened on both sides of the fixed sleeve.
[0014] Preferably, a roller is rotatably mounted inside the support block, and the roller is in rolling connection with the lower surface of the extension arm.
[0015] This utility model provides a transfer vehicle equipped with an inkjet printer, which, compared with the prior art:
[0016] 1. This utility model, by installing an automatic inkjet printer on the main body of the transfer vehicle, can conveniently and promptly print codes on semi-finished products for product traceability. The automatic inkjet printer is moved to the position of the semi-finished product to be printed by the electric slide table and the slide rail. By setting up a lifting drive mechanism, the lifting rod and the automatic inkjet printer can be moved upward to print codes on semi-finished products of different heights or semi-finished products piled on top, thus improving the versatility of the equipment.
[0017] 2. By setting up an extension arm, this utility model can drive the support block to rise along with the lifting rod during the upward movement. The rollers inside the support block roll on the lower surface of the extension arm, pushing the extension arm to gradually unfold. After unfolding, the extension arm will form a certain protective barrier on the outside of the semi-finished material, which will block the material and limit its displacement. This not only improves the stability of the material during the transfer and coding process and prevents the semi-finished material from falling off the trolley body, reducing the risk of material damage, but also reduces the safety accidents that may be caused by the material falling.

[0029] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-8 This utility model embodiment provides a transfer vehicle with an inkjet printer, including a trolley body 1, a loading platform 11 fixedly installed on the upper end of the trolley body 1, slide rails 12 on both sides of the loading platform 11, an electric slide table 13 slidably installed on the slide rails 12, a liftable lifting rod 5 on the electric slide table 13, and an automatic inkjet printer 6 for inkjet printing on semi-finished products fixedly installed on the upper end of the lifting rod 5.
[0031] In the field of machining, semi-finished products are transported between different processing steps by a transfer vehicle. An automatic inkjet printer 6 is installed on the main body 1 of the transfer vehicle, which can print codes on the semi-finished products in a timely and convenient manner for product traceability.
[0032] The loading platform 11 is used to carry semi-finished products that need to be inkjet printed. Slide rails 12 are provided on both sides of the loading platform 11, and electric slide tables 13 are slidably installed on the slide rails 12. The electric slide tables 13 can slide along the slide rails 12, thereby driving the automatic inkjet printer 6 installed on it to move to the appropriate inkjet printing position. A lifting rod 5 is also provided on the electric slide table 13 to realize the lifting and lowering of the automatic inkjet printer 6, so as to perform precise inkjet printing operation on the semi-finished products placed on the loading platform 11.
[0033] A support frame 2 is fixedly installed on the electric slide table 13. An installation plate 21 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame 2. A lifting drive mechanism 3 is provided on the support frame 2 for driving the lifting rod 5 to move up and down. The lifting drive mechanism 3 drives the lifting rod 5 to move up and down, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the automatic inkjet printer 6.
[0034] The lifting drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 31, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 21. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to a lifting screw 32. The upper end of the lifting screw 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 2. A guide rod 33 is provided on one side of the lifting screw 32. The upper and lower ends of the guide rod 33 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 2 and the upper surface of the mounting plate 21, respectively. A screw sleeve 34 is threaded onto the lifting screw 32. A lifting block 35 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 33. The screw sleeve 34 and the lifting rod 35 are both fixedly installed inside the lifting block 35.
[0035] When the motor 31 starts, the motor 31 drives the lifting screw 32 to rotate. Since the screw sleeve 34 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw 32 and the screw sleeve 34 is fixed inside the lifting block 35, and the lifting block 35 can only make linear movements under the restriction of the guide rod 33, the rotation of the lifting screw 32 will be converted into the up and down linear movements of the screw sleeve 34 and the lifting block 35, which in turn drives the lifting rod 5 to rise and fall, and finally realizes the height adjustment of the automatic inkjet printer 6.
[0036] The use of a screw drive has the advantages of high transmission accuracy and good stability, which can accurately control the lifting height of the automatic inkjet printer 6 and ensure the quality of inkjet printing. At the same time, the guide rod 33 ensures the linearity and stability of the lifting process and avoids shaking during the lifting process.
[0037] A limiting plate 53 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the support frame 2, and the lifting rod 5 is slidably connected within the limiting plate 53. The setting of the limiting plate 53 further improves the stability and accuracy of the lifting rod 5's lifting.
[0038] The lower end of the lifting rod 5 is slidably sleeved in the fixed sleeve 4. The fixed sleeve 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the electric slide table 13. Mounting seats 41 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the fixed sleeve 4. An extension arm 42 is rotatably installed in the mounting seat 41. Support blocks 51 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the lifting rod 5. Movable grooves 43 for the movement of the support blocks 51 are opened on both sides of the fixed sleeve 4. Rollers 52 are rotatably installed in the support blocks 51. The rollers 52 are rollingly connected to the lower surface of the extension arm 42.
[0039] When the lifting rod 5 rises, the support block 51 moves upward with the lifting rod 5, and the roller 52 rolls on the lower surface of the extension arm 42, pushing the extension arm 42 to extend outward, which can process the semi-finished product. When the lifting rod 5 falls, the support block 51 moves downward, and the extension arm 42 rotates downward and retracts under the action of gravity with its upper connecting shaft as the center.
[0040] In actual transfer scenarios, if there is a large quantity of semi-finished products to be transferred, these semi-finished products are usually stacked on the loading platform 11, or the height of a single semi-finished product is relatively high. In this case, when it is necessary to perform inkjet printing on these semi-finished products, the lifting drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the lifting rod 5 upward, so that the automatic inkjet printer 6 installed on the upper end of the lifting rod 5 can move to a suitable inkjet printing position. As the lifting rod 5 rises, the support block 51 also rises. The rollers 52 in the support block 51 roll on the lower surface of the extension arm 42, pushing the extension arm 42 to gradually unfold. After unfolding, the extension arm 42 will form a certain protective barrier on the outside of the semi-finished material, which will block the material and limit the displacement of the material. This not only improves the stability of the material during the transfer and inkjet printing process and prevents the semi-finished material from falling off the trolley body 1, reducing the risk of material damage, but also reduces the safety accidents that may be caused by the falling material.
[0041] In summary, the working principle of the transfer vehicle equipped with an inkjet printer according to this utility model embodiment is as follows:
[0042] First, place the semi-finished products that need to be printed on the loading platform 11. If there are many semi-finished products stacked up or a single semi-finished product is tall, the automatic inkjet printer 6 is moved to the corresponding position of the semi-finished product to be printed by controlling the electric slide table 13 to slide on the slide rail 12. First, print the lower layer of semi-finished products. Then, the automatic inkjet printer 6 is accurately raised to the appropriate position to be printed by the lifting drive mechanism 3. As the lifting rod 5 rises, the support block 51 also rises. The rollers 52 in the support block 51 roll on the lower surface of the extension arm 42, pushing the extension arm 42 to gradually unfold. After unfolding, the extension arm 42 forms a protective barrier on the outside of the semi-finished material, improving the stability of the material and preventing it from falling off the trolley body 1.
[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
