Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floor tile laying technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for laying floor tiles. Background Technology
[0002] Laying floor tiles is a routine engineering operation for hardening the ground in places such as houses, shopping malls, and squares. When laying floor tiles, a layer of sand is first laid on the ground, then tools are used to smooth and level the sand layer before laying the floor tiles on top. Floor tile laying construction involves many items piled on the ground, including building materials such as cement and sand, as well as tools such as cutting machines. Therefore, it is quite difficult for workers to move and walk on the floor tiles, as they are easily tripped by items or wires on the ground. Furthermore, because the floor tiles are relatively large and heavy, the workload for workers is considerable when moving them.
[0003] To overcome the above problems, Chinese utility model patent CN213806457U discloses an automatic feeding device for laying floor tiles. This patent describes a method where floor tiles are fed by a vacuum suction cup onto a trolley, and then transported along a track to the desired location. The feeding direction can be adjusted by rotating the track. However, the track length in this patent is fixed, and the maximum distance the floor tiles can be fed is equal to the track length. Therefore, the feeding distance cannot be extended, making it unsuitable for certain construction scenarios where long feeding distances are critical. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for laying floor tiles, which solves the problem of short conveying distance in existing floor tile conveying devices.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An automatic feeding device for laying floor tiles includes a delivery trolley, a vertical support rod on the delivery trolley, a fixed rail connected to the vertical support rod, a telescopic rail movably mounted on the fixed rail, a moving component movably mounted on the telescopic rail, a lifting component connected to the moving component, and a floor tile gripping component connected to the bottom of the lifting component.
[0007] In this solution, a delivery trolley is used to transfer floor tiles to the construction site. The lifting component controls the floor tile gripping component to move downwards to grab the floor tiles from the delivery trolley. After grabbing, the moving component drives the entire assembly consisting of the lifting component and the floor tile gripping component to move along the telescopic track, moving the floor tiles to the desired position. When it is necessary to move the floor tiles to a more distant position, the telescopic track moves along the fixed track, making the entire transportation path longer, thereby allowing the moving component to move to a more distant position, realizing the transportation of floor tiles over a longer distance.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixed track includes a main track, which has a box-shaped structure. The bottom of the box-shaped structure has an opening along the length of the track. Two rows of rollers are provided on both sides of the opening, and each roller is fixed inside the box-shaped structure by a wheel axle. The top of the two rows of rollers is supported by a telescopic track.
[0009] In this design, two rows of rollers are installed inside the main track of the box-shaped structure. The telescopic track can move along the rollers, reducing friction between it and the main track.
[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic track includes a secondary track supported on two rows of rollers; a drive rack is provided at the top of the secondary track, which meshes with a drive gear on the output shaft of the first motor; and a moving component is provided inside the secondary track.
[0011] In this scheme, when the telescopic track moves, the first motor drives the drive gear to rotate. The drive gear, through meshing, drives the drive rack and the secondary track to move along the box-shaped structure, thereby realizing the movement of the secondary track and enabling the moving components on the secondary track to move to a greater distance.
[0012] Furthermore, the first motor is installed on the top of the main track, and a through hole is opened at the top of the main track corresponding to the position of the drive gear. The edge of the drive gear passes through the through hole and meshes with the drive rack.
[0013] Furthermore, the moving component includes two moving wheels connected by an axle, which is driven by a second motor; both moving wheels are located inside the secondary track, and two connecting plates are connected to the axle, with the bottom of the two connecting plates extending from an opening at the bottom of the secondary track; a hanging lug is connected between the two connecting plates by a pin, and the bottom of the hanging lug is connected to a lifting component.
[0014] In this scheme, when the moving component drives the lifting component to move, the second motor drives the moving wheel to move. As the moving wheel moves, it drives the connecting plate and the hanging lug to move synchronously, thereby driving the lifting component to move along the secondary track.
[0015] Furthermore, both sides of the opening at the bottom of the secondary track are provided with upward-facing flanges, and the moving wheels travel within the limiting groove formed between the flanges and the inner wall of the secondary track.
[0016] Furthermore, the lifting assembly is a hydraulic lifting rod, with a hanging lug connected to the top of the hydraulic lifting rod and a floor tile gripping assembly connected to the telescopic end of the bottom of the hydraulic lifting rod.
[0017] Furthermore, the floor tile gripping component is a vacuum suction cup, which is fixed to the telescopic end of the hydraulic lifting rod.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] In this automatic feeding device for laying floor tiles, a delivery trolley transfers the floor tiles to the construction site. A hydraulic lifting rod drives a vacuum suction cup downwards, which then adheres to the floor tiles on the delivery trolley. A second motor drives the moving wheels, which in turn move the connecting plate and the hanging lugs synchronously. This, in turn, moves the hydraulic lifting rod, the vacuum suction cup, and the adhered floor tiles along a secondary track, thus moving the floor tiles to the laying position without manual handling, improving construction efficiency. When the floor tiles need to be moved to a further location, a first motor drives a drive gear to rotate. The drive gear, through meshing, moves the drive rack and the secondary track along a box-shaped structure, thus moving the secondary track. This allows the moving components on the secondary track to move a greater distance relative to the ground, enabling long-distance floor tile delivery and making it suitable for various construction scenarios.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic feeding device for laying floor tiles. This automatic feeding device can automatically move floor tiles to the location where they need to be laid, saving on handling costs. Specifically, it includes:
[0027] Delivery trolley 1, vertical support rod 2, fixed track 3, telescopic track 4, moving component 5, lifting component 6, and floor tile gripping component 7;
[0028] The delivery trolley 1 is equipped with a vertical support rod 2, to which a fixed rail 3 is connected. A telescopic rail 4 is movably mounted on the fixed rail 3, and a moving component 5 is movably mounted on the telescopic rail 4. A lifting component 6 is connected to the bottom of the moving component 5, and a floor tile gripping component 7 is connected to the bottom of the lifting component 6. The delivery trolley 1 is used to transfer floor tiles to the construction site. The lifting component 6 controls the floor tile gripping component 7 to move downwards to grab the floor tiles from the delivery trolley 1. After grabbing, the moving component 5 drives the entire assembly of the lifting component 6 and the floor tile gripping component 7 to move along the telescopic rail 4, moving the floor tiles to the desired position. When it is necessary to move the floor tiles to a further location, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic track 4 moves along the fixed track 3, making the entire transport path longer, thereby allowing the moving component 5 to move to a more distant position, realizing the transport of floor tiles over a longer distance.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixed track 3 includes a main track 31, which has a box-shaped structure. An opening is provided at the bottom of the box-shaped structure along the length of the track. Two rows of rollers 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the opening, and each roller 32 is fixed inside the box-shaped structure by a wheel axle. A telescopic track 4 is supported on top of the two rows of rollers 32. The two rows of rollers 32 are arranged inside the main track 31 of the box-shaped structure, and the telescopic track 4 can move along the rollers 32, reducing friction between it and the main track 31.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic track 4 includes a secondary track 41, which is supported on two rows of rollers 32. A drive rack 42 is provided on the top of the secondary track 41, and the drive rack 42 is meshed with a drive gear 44 on the output shaft of the first motor 43. A moving component 5 is provided inside the secondary track 41. When the telescopic track 4 moves, the first motor 43 drives the drive gear 44 to rotate. The drive gear 44, through meshing, drives the entire assembly consisting of the drive rack 42 and the secondary track 41 to move along the box-shaped structure, thereby realizing the movement of the secondary track 41. This allows the moving component 5 on the secondary track 41 to move to a greater distance.
[0031] The first motor 43 is installed on the top of the main track 31. A through hole is opened at the top of the main track 31 at a position corresponding to the drive gear 44. The edge of the drive gear 44 passes through the through hole and meshes with the drive rack 42.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the moving component 5 includes two moving wheels 51 connected by an axle 52. A reducer is mounted on the axle 52, which is then connected to a second motor 53. Both moving wheels 51 are located inside the secondary track 41. Two connecting plates 54 are connected to the axle 52, with their bottoms extending from an opening at the bottom of the secondary track 41. A hanging lug 55 is connected between the two connecting plates 54 by a pin, and the bottom of the hanging lug 55 is connected to a lifting component 6. When the moving component 5 moves the lifting component 6, the second motor 53 drives the moving wheels 51 to move. As the moving wheels 51 move, they cause the connecting plates 54 and the hanging lug 55 to move synchronously, thereby causing the lifting component 6 to move along the secondary track 41.
[0033] The bottom opening of the secondary track 41 has upward-facing flanges 411 on both sides, and the moving wheel 51 travels within the limiting groove formed between the flanges 411 and the inner wall of the secondary track 41.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the reducer and the second motor 53 adopt the existing K / F / R / S series helical gear reducer-hardened tooth surface horizontal and vertical integrated gearbox with motor.
[0035] The lifting assembly 6 is a hydraulic lifting rod, with the top of the hydraulic lifting rod connected to the hanging lug 55, and the telescopic end of the bottom of the hydraulic lifting rod connected to the floor tile gripping assembly 7.
[0036] The floor tile gripping component 7 is a vacuum suction cup, which is fixed to the telescopic end of the hydraulic lifting rod.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the vacuum suction cup adopts an electric vacuum suction cup-automatic air replenishment lithium battery-powered tile floor fixing device.
[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0039] In this embodiment, the automatic feeding device for laying floor tiles uses a delivery trolley 1 to transfer the floor tiles to the construction site. A hydraulic lifting rod drives a vacuum suction cup downwards, which then adheres to the floor tiles on the delivery trolley 1. A second motor 53 drives the moving wheels 51, which in turn move the connecting plate 54 and the hanging lugs 55 synchronously. This, in turn, moves the hydraulic lifting rod, the vacuum suction cup, and the adhered floor tiles along the secondary track 41, thus moving the floor tiles to the laying position without manual handling, improving construction efficiency. When the floor tiles need to be moved to a further location, the first motor 43 drives the drive gear 44 to rotate. The drive gear 44, through meshing, moves the drive rack 42 and the secondary track 41 along a box-shaped structure, thus moving the secondary track 41. This allows the moving component 5 on the secondary track 41 to move a greater distance relative to the ground, enabling the transport of floor tiles over longer distances, suitable for various construction scenarios.
