Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welded ball grid construction technology, specifically to a device for transporting welded balls. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of large-span spatial structure engineering, welded spherical space frame structures are being used extensively. However, in actual construction, welded spheres are typically large in size (e.g., diameter exceeding 500mm), heavy, and have a smooth surface. When workers handle welded spheres on-site, the lack of specialized tools often forces them to rely on manual handling, which is not only inconvenient and prone to slipping or rolling, but also poses significant safety hazards, seriously affecting construction efficiency and worker safety.
[0003] Currently, there is a lack of a dedicated handling tool that is simple in structure, easy to operate, adaptable to welding balls of different specifications, and effectively prevents the welding balls from rolling. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a device for transporting welding balls that is simple in structure, easy to adjust, adaptable to welding balls of different specifications, and prevents welding balls from rolling or sliding during transportation. This solves the problems of difficult operation, lack of support and limit, easy slippage, and impact on construction safety and efficiency in the existing welding ball transportation process, thereby effectively improving the convenience and safety of transportation during the construction of welding ball grid structures.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a device for transporting welding balls, including a handle and a support rod, characterized in that: the handle is used for hand operation, the support rod is used to support the welding ball, the handle is provided with an elongated hole for adjusting the lateral spacing by connecting the support rod with bolts, and the support rod is provided with an elongated hole for adjusting the vertical spacing with the handle.
[0006] Furthermore, the handle has an L-shaped cross-section and is made of L50 angle steel.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner side of the support rod is provided with an arc-shaped cut.
[0008] Furthermore, the curvature of the arc-shaped cut is adapted to the outer surface of the welding ball to form a surface contact with the welding ball to increase friction and prevent the welding ball from sliding.
[0009] Furthermore, the opening width of the arc-shaped cut is smaller than the diameter of the welding ball, and the two support rods are arranged in parallel with an adjustable spacing to accommodate welding balls of different diameters.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention features elongated holes on the handle and support rod, allowing for adjustment of the horizontal and vertical spacing via bolt connections. This enables the device to accommodate welding balls of different diameters, enhancing its applicability and flexibility.
[0012] This invention utilizes an adjustable connection between the handle and the support rod, facilitating quick on-site adjustments based on the size of the welding ball. This simple operation improves construction efficiency.
[0013] This utility model uses an L-shaped handle made of L50 angle steel, which has good strength and rigidity, meets the structural strength requirements during hand-held handling, and ensures safe use.
[0014] This invention, by setting an arc-shaped cut, can effectively limit the welding ball during transportation, preventing the welding ball from rolling or slipping, thus improving the stability and safety of transportation.
[0015] The support rods of this invention are arranged in parallel, and the distance between the two support rods can be adjusted by bolts, so that the device can be flexibly adjusted for welding balls of different sizes, making it highly adaptable and meeting a variety of construction needs. Attached Figure Description
[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model;
[0017] In the diagram: 1-Handle; 2-Support rod; 3-Bolt; 4-Weld ball. Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the device of this utility model mainly includes two parts: a handle 1 and a support rod 2. The handle 1 is used for hand operation, which facilitates the handling of the welding ball 4; the support rod 2 is used to support the welding ball 4 and ensure its stability and prevents it from slipping during handling.
[0020] Handle 1 is made of L50 angle steel with an L-shaped cross-section, sized to fit an adult's hand, ensuring a secure grip during handling and preventing slippage. Handle 1 connects to support rod 2 via an elongated hole, secured by bolts 3. The elongated hole design allows for adjustment of the lateral distance between handle 1 and support rod 2, accommodating welding balls 4 of different diameters. Specifically, by adjusting the position of bolts 3, handle 1 can move laterally along support rod 2, ensuring the device can accommodate welding balls 4 of different sizes.
[0021] The support rod 2 is the main support component of this device, its primary function being to secure the welded ball 4 and prevent it from rolling during transport. The support rod 2 has an arc-shaped notch on its inner side to further stabilize the welded ball 4. The curvature of this notch matches the outer surface of the welded ball 4, increasing friction and ensuring the ball is firmly fixed to the inside of the support rod 2. The support rod 2 is connected to the handle 1 via bolts 3. Additionally, the support rod 2 has an elongated hole for adjusting the vertical distance between the support rod and the handle. This vertical distance can be fine-tuned according to the size of the welded ball 4, ensuring it is securely positioned within the support rod 2.
[0022] The welding ball 4 is the main object to be handled by this device, and its diameter is generally large, usually over 500mm. Through the cooperation of the handle 1 and the support rod 2, the welding ball 4 can be stably placed on the support rod 2, and the arc-shaped cut design prevents it from rolling or slipping. During use, the worker can adjust the lateral and vertical distance between the handle 1 and the support rod 2 to accurately place the welding ball 4 within the arc-shaped cut of the support rod 2, ensuring that the welding ball 4 will not slip during handling.
[0023] The adjustable design of this device is achieved through the connection of an elongated hole and bolts 3. This adjustment mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of both the lateral and vertical spacing between the handle 1 and the support rod 2, ensuring the device can accommodate welding balls 4 of different diameters and types. This adjustable design enhances the device's adaptability, enabling it to meet the needs of various construction sites.
[0024] In practical use, workers can easily adapt welding balls 4 of different specifications with simple adjustments. After adjustment, the handle 1 is easy for workers to grip firmly, and the support rod 2 stably supports the welding ball 4, making it easy to move the welding ball.
[0025] Through this embodiment, the present invention can significantly improve the efficiency of welding ball handling, reduce the difficulty of manual handling, and effectively prevent welding balls from rolling or slipping during handling, thus ensuring construction safety.
[0026] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
