Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a transfer device, and more particularly to a cardboard transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as paper processing, packaging printing, and logistics warehousing, cardboard, after undergoing processes such as cutting, printing, and die-cutting, needs to be transferred between various production stations and storage areas. Cardboard transfer is a crucial link in ensuring the continuity of the production process and improving warehousing turnover efficiency. As a core auxiliary equipment, cardboard transfer devices enable rapid transfer of cardboard, reducing the labor burden of manual handling and mitigating the risk of breakage during transport. This plays a vital role in maintaining production order and ensuring product quality. Currently, cardboard transfer mainly relies on flatbed trolleys, which are simple to operate, have low manufacturing costs, and are flexible in steering, meeting basic cardboard transfer needs.
[0003] The main function of existing flatbed carts is to provide carrying and movement functions. They support cardboard on a flat surface and transfer the cardboard using wheels or a walking mechanism. However, these devices have obvious structural design flaws: because the height of the carrying panel of the flatbed cart is fixed and there is no docking structure with the conveyor on the production line, when the cardboard is transferred from the conveyor to the cart, it must be manually lifted and aligned with the panel. This is labor-intensive and the cardboard is prone to slipping due to misalignment. Furthermore, manual operation or equipment structure limitations can easily cause the cardboard edges to be broken and the stacks to become scattered, affecting subsequent processing or storage. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the objective is to provide a cardboard transfer device.
[0005] A cardboard transfer device includes a base, guide seats, steering wheels, fixed wheels, a battery module, a mounting plate, a control panel, a handle, a drive unit, a chain assembly, a connecting seat, a connecting rod, a connecting plate, and a support platform. Guide seats are vertically mounted on both the front and rear sides of the upper right portion of the base. Steering wheels are mounted on both the front and rear sides of the lower right portion of the base. Fixed wheels are mounted on both the front and rear sides of the lower left portion of the base. A battery module is located on the right side of the base. A fixing plate is fixed between the guide seats, and a control panel is mounted on the fixing plate. A handle is fixed between the right sides of the guide seats. A chain assembly is installed inside each guide seat. The chain assembly consists of two vertically arranged sprockets and a chain wound around the sprockets. The guide seat has a driving component at the bottom, which consists of a drive motor and a rotating shaft connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the sprockets at the bottom of the two chain groups. A connecting seat is provided between the inner sides of the guide seat in a sliding manner. A connecting rod is provided on the upper part of the connecting seat. The connecting seat is connected to the chain of the chain group. The drive motor of the driving component drives the chain group to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise through forward and reverse rotation, thereby driving the connecting seat and the connecting rod to move vertically up and down between the guide seats. Two connecting plates are fixedly provided on the connecting rod. A support platform is fixedly provided between the lower parts of the connecting plates. The front side of the support platform extends forward, and its front part extends outward into the space directly above the base.
[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a rotating roller, a mounting plate, a conveyor belt, and a conveyor motor. Mounting plates are symmetrically arranged on both the front and rear sides of the platform. A rotating roller is rotatably arranged between the two mounting plates on the front and rear sides. A conveyor belt is wound around the two rotating rollers. A conveyor motor is arranged on one of the mounting plates on the rear side. The output shaft of the conveyor motor is connected to one end of the rotating roller on the rear side. The rotating roller is driven to rotate by the forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor motor, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to realize the feeding or conveying of the cardboard.
[0007] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the outer surface of the conveyor belt has anti-slip texture.
[0008] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the bottom of the base is 40mm-80mm above the ground.
[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the assembly also includes a slider, a rotating arm, a hinge seat, and an adjusting rod. The connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat. The front guide seat has a slider that slides up and down. An adjusting rod is horizontally screwed into the slider. A rotating arm is fixedly mounted at the front end of the connecting rod. A hinge seat is rotatably mounted on the front side of the rotating arm. The hinge seat consists of a shaft and a fixed rod. The right end of the fixed rod is rotatably connected to the left end of the adjusting rod. By rotating the adjusting rod, the hinge seat is moved, causing the rotating arm to rotate around the rotation point of the connecting rod and the connecting seat, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the connecting rod, the connecting plate, and the support platform.
[0010] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a power component and a controller. The two fixed wheels are connected by a connecting shaft. The power component is located at the rear left of the base and is powered to the fixed wheels on the rear side. The power component drives the fixed wheels on the rear side to rotate. The controller is located on the handle and is connected to the power component by a conductor. The controller controls the start and stop of the power component.
[0011] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the base also includes guardrails, with guardrails provided on the upper left and rear sides.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model drives the chain assembly to move up and down by driving the connecting seat and connecting rod, thereby adjusting the height of the support platform to connect with the conveying device. When the cardboard is connected, although manual assistance is required for alignment, the material connection can be completed without manual lifting of the cardboard, which greatly reduces the manual handling load and avoids damage to the cardboard caused by collision and squeezing during manual handling.
[0013] 2. By setting a material transfer mechanism on the pallet, after the pallet is connected to the conveyor device, the conveyor belt can connect the cardboard on the conveyor device to the pallet, or automatically transfer the cardboard on the pallet to the target position, reducing the manual operation of pushing and pulling the cardboard and improving the material transfer efficiency.
[0014] 3. This utility model uses a power component to drive the rear fixed wheel to rotate, and in conjunction with the steering wheel, it enables the device to move flexibly without the need for manual pushing, thus reducing the manual moving load. It is especially suitable for long-distance transfer scenarios when fully loaded with cardboard. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] A cardboard transfer device, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, guide seats 2, steering wheels 21, fixed wheels 22, a battery module 23, a mounting plate 401, a control panel 25, a handle 26, a drive component 3, a chain assembly 32, a connecting seat 33, a connecting rod 34, a connecting plate 35, and a support platform 36. Guide seats 2 are vertically installed on both the front and rear sides of the upper right part of the base 1. The guide seats 2 provide guidance and support for the up-and-down sliding of the connecting seat 33. Steering wheels 21 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the lower right part of the base 1, and fixed wheels 22 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the lower left part of the base 1. The steering wheels 21 and fixed wheels 22 work together to realize the flexible movement and steering of the device. With the support of the fixed wheels 22 and steering wheels 21, the height of the bottom of the base 1 from the ground is 40mm-80mm. This height setting can not only prevent the base 1 from rubbing against ground protrusions, but also lower the overall center of gravity of the base 1, enhancing the stability during movement.
[0023] A battery module 23 is provided on the right side of the base 1. The battery module 23 provides power to the electrical components of the device. A fixing plate 24 is fixed between the guide seats 2. The fixing plate 24 provides the mounting base for the control panel 25. The control panel 25 is installed on the fixing plate 24. A handle 26 is fixed between the right sides of the guide seats 2. The operator can push the device to move and control the direction through the handle 26. Each guide seat 2 is equipped with a chain assembly 32. The chain assembly 32 consists of two sprockets arranged vertically and a chain wrapped around the sprockets. The sprockets are rotatably connected to the guide seats 2 through bearings to ensure stable operation of the chain. A drive component 3 is provided at the lower part of one of the guide seats 2. The drive component 3 consists of a drive motor and a rotating shaft connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the sprockets at the lower part of the two chain assemblies 32. When the drive motor is running, it can drive the lower sprockets of the two chain assemblies 32 to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft. A connecting seat 33 is provided on the inner side of the guide seat 2 in a sliding manner. The contact surface between the connecting seat 33 and the guide seat 2 is provided with a slider to reduce sliding friction. A connecting rod 34 is provided on the upper part of the connecting seat 33. The connecting seat 33 is connected to the chain of the chain assembly 32. The control panel 25 is electrically connected to the drive motor of the drive component 3. By operating the control panel 25, the drive motor can be controlled to rotate forward and backward, thereby driving the chain assembly 32 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the chain is running, it drives the connecting seat 33 and the connecting rod 34 to move vertically up and down between the guide seat 2, realizing the adjustment of the height of the support platform 36 to adapt to conveying devices of different heights. Two connecting plates 35 are fixedly provided on the connecting rod 34. The connecting plates 35 serve to connect the connecting rod 34 and the support platform 36. The support platform 36 is fixedly provided between the lower parts of the connecting plates 35. The support platform 36 provides support for the conveyor belt 41. The front side of the support platform 36 extends forward, and its front part extends to the front side of the space directly above the base 1, which facilitates docking with external conveying devices.
[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, it also includes a rotating roller 4, a mounting plate 401, a conveyor belt 41, and a conveyor motor 42. Mounting plates 401 are symmetrically arranged on both the front and rear sides of the support platform 36. The mounting plates 401 provide mounting support for the rotating roller 4. A rotating roller 4 is rotatably mounted between the two mounting plates 401 on the front and rear sides. The rotating roller 4 is connected to the mounting plate 401 via bearings to ensure smooth rotation. A conveyor belt 41 is wound around the outer side of the two rotating rollers 4. The upper part of the conveyor belt 41 is supported by the top of the support platform 36 to ensure that the conveyor belt 41 does not sink due to carrying the cardboard during operation. On the rear mounting plate 401... A conveyor motor 42 is provided, which is electrically connected to the battery module 23 and the control panel 25. The control panel 25 can control the start, stop and forward / reverse rotation of the conveyor motor 42. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 42 is connected to one end of the rear roller 4. When the conveyor motor 42 is running, it drives the roller 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 41 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to realize the front and rear directions of paperboard input or output. The outer surface of the conveyor belt 41 is provided with anti-slip texture, which can increase the friction between the conveyor belt and the paperboard, prevent the paperboard from slipping and deviating during the conveying process, and ensure stable transmission of the paperboard.
[0025] When cardboard needs to be connected to an external conveyor, a command is sent to the drive motor via the control panel 25. The drive motor rotates and drives the lower sprockets of the chain assembly 32 inside the two guide seats 2 to rotate synchronously via the rotating shaft. The chain assembly 32 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise under the drive of the sprockets, thereby pulling the connecting seat 33 connected to it to slide up and down along the inner side of the guide seat 2. The connecting seat 33 drives the upper connecting rod 34 and connecting plate 35 to move synchronously, ultimately adjusting the height of the platform 36 until the conveyor belt 41 on the platform 36 is level with the height of the external conveyor. Then, the conveyor motor is started via the control panel 25. 42 and controls its forward rotation. The conveyor motor 42 drives the rear roller 4 to rotate, and the roller 4 drives the conveyor belt 41 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the cardboard on the external conveying device is pushed onto the conveyor belt 41. The anti-slip texture on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 41 can prevent the cardboard from slipping. At the same time, the upper support platform 36 inside the conveyor belt 41 supports it and prevents it from sinking due to carrying the cardboard, so as to achieve stable cardboard loading. After the cardboard is loaded, the conveyor motor 42 is turned off. The operator pushes the device to the target position through the handle 26. During the movement, the direction can be adjusted through the steering wheel 21. After reaching the target position, the device is stopped by controlling the handle 26. When it is necessary to transfer the cardboard to the target area, the control panel 25 is operated again to start the conveyor motor 42 and control it to reverse. The conveyor motor 42 drives the roller 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 41 to rotate counterclockwise. During this process, the operator assists in transporting the cardboard from the conveyor belt 41 to the target area, completing one cardboard transfer operation.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a slider 5, a rotating arm 51, a hinge seat 52, and an adjusting rod 53. The connecting rod 34 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 33 via a bearing, allowing the connecting rod 34 to rotate around the connecting seat 33. A vertical groove is provided at the front of the guide seat 2, and the slider 5 is slidably installed in the vertical groove, allowing it to slide up and down along the guide seat 2. The slider 5 moves up and down synchronously with the connecting seat 33. A threaded hole is provided horizontally inside the slider 5, and the adjusting rod 53 is screwed into the threaded hole. A rotating arm 51 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the connecting rod 34, and a hinge seat 52 is rotatably mounted on the front side of the rotating arm 51 via a shaft. The hinge seat 52 is formed by... It consists of a shaft and a fixed rod. The right end of the fixed rod is rotatably connected to the left end of the adjusting rod 53 via a pin. By rotating the adjusting rod 53, the hinge seat 52 is driven to move laterally under the action of the threaded engagement, which in turn drives the rotating arm 51 to rotate around the rotation point of the connecting rod 34 and the connecting seat 33, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the connecting rod 34, the connecting plate 35, and the support platform 36. After the cardboard enters the space above the support platform 36, and when the support platform 36 has completed its descent and needs to be transferred, the adjusting rod 53 is rotated forward to push the hinge seat 52 forward, which drives the lower part of the rotating arm 51 to swing forward, so that the support platform 36 tilts to the right to form a left-high and right-low shape.
[0028] Specifically, during the movement of the device, the cardboard will tend to slide outward (to the left) due to centrifugal force. Through the tilt design of the support platform with the left side higher than the right side, gravity can be used to keep the cardboard always in contact with the guide seat on the right side. By "gravity pre-fixing", the left and right movement space of the cardboard is restricted, preventing it from shifting laterally or being misaligned on the support platform. This ensures that the cardboard is in a stable position on the support platform and avoids edge damage caused by movement.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a power component 6 and a controller 61. The two fixed wheels 22 are fixedly connected by a connecting shaft to ensure that the two fixed wheels 22 rotate synchronously. The power component 6 is fixedly installed on the left rear part of the base 1 by bolts. The power component 6 is a drive motor, and its output shaft is connected to the fixed wheel 22 on the rear side through gears or chains. The controller 61 is embedded in the handle 26. The controller 61 is electrically connected to the power component 6 and the battery module 23 through conductors. The operator sends commands to the power component 6 through the controller 61 to control the start, stop and forward / reverse rotation of the power component 6. When the power component 6 is running, it drives the fixed wheel 22 on the rear side to rotate, thereby driving the device to move automatically without manual pushing, reducing labor intensity.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it also includes guardrails 7. Guardrails 7 are fixedly installed on the upper left and rear sides of the base 1 by welding. The guardrails 7, guide seat 2 and fixing plate 24 form a U-shaped structure on the upper part of the base 1. Only the front side has an opening for material to enter and exit. The guardrails 7 can block the cardboard that accidentally slips during the transfer process and prevent the cardboard from falling from the left and rear sides of the device and causing damage. At the same time, the U-shaped structure does not affect the material input and output on the front side.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
