Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of inflatable membrane architecture, specifically relating to a transportation and storage device for inflatable membranes. Background Technology

[0002] An inflatable membrane structure is a novel type of architectural structure. Inflatable membrane buildings primarily rely on air pressure to support the membrane material and form a spatial structure. By inflating the membrane with air at a certain pressure, tension is created, enabling the membrane to withstand external loads (such as wind and snow). The internal air pressure is generally higher than the external ambient air pressure, which keeps the membrane inflated and maintains the building's shape.

[0003] Chinese patent CN215206089U mentions "a transport and storage device for inflatable membranes, including a transport box, a cavity provided inside the transport box, a placement rack provided inside the transport box, a motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the transport box, a lead screw extending from one end of the motor, and a fixing plate fixedly connected to the top of the side of the inner wall of the transport box... The up and down movement of the movable block can be precisely adjusted through the threaded action between it and the movable block, thereby driving the placement rack to move up and down, making it convenient to take out the products in the placement rack, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving transport efficiency";

[0004] However, analysis of the aforementioned cited existing technical documents reveals that stacking the inflatable membranes from top to bottom results in excessive height when removing them from the top of the transport box, requiring workers to climb and causing significant inconvenience. Furthermore, the lifting and lowering of the placement frame requires a matching motor. Including the motor inside the transport box necessitates the configuration of circuitry and controllers, which inadvertently increases the manufacturing cost of the transport box. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transportation and storage device for inflatable membranes, in order to solve the problems in the prior art where workers need to climb to heights to retrieve inflatable membranes and where the manufacturing cost of transport boxes is too high.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A transport and storage device for inflatable membranes includes a transfer cabinet, the transfer cabinet including a storage box, a side cover and a support block, a sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the storage box, a sliding seat is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, an installation platform is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding seat, and a clamping assembly for spaced storage of inflatable membranes is installed on the installation platform.

[0008] The clamping assembly consists of multiple spaced rectangular clamping plates. Each rectangular clamping plate has a recessed groove on its side. The side of each rectangular clamping plate facing away from the recessed groove is connected to a convex pressure plate by four evenly arranged clamping members. The bottom surface of each convex pressure plate has a slot. The side of each rectangular clamping plate facing away from the recessed groove is also equipped with a limiting member that matches the slot, which is used to lock the convex pressure plate between two rectangular clamping plates in a timely manner.

[0009] The bottom of the storage box is equipped with a pushing assembly for moving the sliding seat. The pushing assembly includes two telescopic air cushions, both of which are installed in the sliding groove and are placed on both sides of the sliding seat. The bottom of the sliding groove has two through holes symmetrically opened.

[0010] Preferably, the side cover has two symmetrically installed protruding ribs on the side near the storage box, and the end face of the storage box near the side cover has two slide rails that are respectively matched and configured to match the two protruding ribs.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping component includes a first spring and a multi-stage telescopic column. The two ends of the multi-stage telescopic column are fixedly connected to the sides of the convex pressure plate and the rectangular clamping plate, respectively. The first spring is sleeved outside the multi-stage telescopic column, and its two ends are also fixedly connected to the sides of the convex pressure plate and the rectangular clamping plate, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, at least two grips are installed on both the left and right sides of the convex pressure plate, and the grips are provided with anti-slip textures.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting component includes two limiting mounting seats symmetrically installed on the side of the rectangular clamping plate, and a crossbar is inserted between the two limiting mounting seats.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This utility model arranges multiple rectangular clamps from left to right to tighten and fix the inflatable membrane, which can lower the center of gravity of the transfer cabinet and improve the stability of the device during the transfer process. The inflatable membrane can be taken out by opening the side cover, gradually exposing the rectangular clamps, and loosening the convex pressure plate that provides the tightening effect. The storage and use of the inflatable membrane do not require climbing, which is convenient for workers and improves the safety of workers during operation.

[0018] 2. The sliding seat connected to the mounting platform of this utility model is set in the sliding mounting groove.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a transportation and storage device for inflatable membranes, including a transfer cabinet 1. The transfer cabinet 1 includes a storage box 11, a side cover 12, and a support block 13. Two protruding ribs 121 are symmetrically installed on the side of the side cover 12 near the storage box 11. Two slide rails 111 are symmetrically opened on the end face of the storage box 11 near the side cover 12, which are respectively matched with the two protruding ribs 121. In this way, the side cover 12 can cooperate with the protruding ribs 121 and the slide rails 111 to realize its sliding and lifting on the end face of the storage box 11, thereby realizing the purpose of opening and closing the end of the storage box 11. A sliding groove 112 is opened in the inner bottom of the storage box 11. A sliding seat 5 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 112. An installation platform 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding seat 5. A clamping assembly 4 for the spaced storage of inflatable membranes is installed on the installation platform 2.

[0028] The clamping assembly 4 consists of multiple spaced rectangular clamping plates 41. Each rectangular clamping plate 41 has a recessed groove 411 on its side. The side of each rectangular clamping plate 41 facing away from the recessed groove 411 is connected to a convex pressure plate 42 by four evenly arranged clamping members 44. At least two handles 43 are installed on both the left and right sides of the convex pressure plate 42. The handles 43 are provided with anti-slip textures. The multiple rectangular clamping plates 41 are arranged sequentially from left to right to tighten and fix the inflatable membrane, which can lower the center of gravity of the transfer cabinet 1. To improve the stability of the device during transportation, and to allow the use of the inflatable membrane, the side cover 12 is opened to gradually expose the rectangular clamping plate 41 and loosen the convex pressure plate 42 that provides the clamping effect. The storage and use of the inflatable membrane do not require climbing, making it convenient for workers to operate. The bottom surface of the convex pressure plate 42 is provided with a slot 421, and the side of the rectangular clamping plate 41 facing away from the recessed groove 411 is also equipped with a limiting member 45 that matches the slot 421, which is used to lock the convex pressure plate 42 between the two rectangular clamping plates 41 in a timely manner.

[0029] The bottom of the storage box 11 is equipped with a pushing assembly 3 for moving the sliding seat 5. The pushing assembly 3 includes two telescopic air cushions 31, both of which are installed in the sliding groove 112 and are positioned on both sides of the sliding seat 5. Two through holes 113 are symmetrically opened at the bottom of the sliding groove 112. Air pipes 32 connected to the two telescopic air cushions 31 are installed in the two through holes 113, and the lower ends of the two air pipes 32 are screwed with sealing caps 33. The construction of the inflatable membrane structure is inseparable from the participation of a blower. The sliding seat 5, connected to the mounting platform 2, is located in the sliding groove 112, utilizing the blower... The blower pumps air into different air pipes 32, which inflates and extends the telescopic air cushion 31 to push the sliding seat 5 in the sliding mounting groove 112. This allows the clamping assembly 4 on the mounting platform 2 to be inserted into the transfer cabinet 1 and pushed out of the transfer cabinet 1 without the need for electric tools such as motors. When one air pipe 32 is inflated, the other air pipe 32 needs to be opened to release air to prevent the previously inflated telescopic air cushion 31 from bursting. The air pipe 32 that is being inflated stops when the telescopic air cushion 31 connected to it reaches its maximum extension. This is how the clamping assembly 4 on the mounting platform 2 is inserted into the transfer cabinet 1 and pushed out of the transfer cabinet 1.

[0030] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping member 44 includes a first spring and a multi-stage telescopic column. The two ends of the multi-stage telescopic column are fixedly connected to the sides of the convex pressure plate 42 and the rectangular clamping plate 41, respectively. The first spring is sleeved outside the multi-stage telescopic column, and its two ends are also fixedly connected to the sides of the convex pressure plate 42 and the rectangular clamping plate 41, respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, by setting the clamping member 44, the convex pressure plate 42 set next to the rectangular clamping plate 41 can have a pressing tendency against the adjacent rectangular clamping plate 41, thereby tightening and fixing the inflatable membrane between two adjacent rectangular clamping plates 41. The inflatable membrane is pressed by the convex pressure plate 42 into the recessed groove 411 of the rectangular clamping plate 41, making it more stable and reducing the chance of slippage during transportation.

[0032] In a further embodiment, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting component 45 includes two limiting mounting seats 451 symmetrically installed on the side of the rectangular clamping plate 41. A crossbar 452 is inserted between the two limiting mounting seats 451. Both ends of the crossbar 452 are fitted with anti-slip rubber sleeves to facilitate easy removal of the card 454 from the slot 421 by personnel through stepping. The crossbar 452 can be displaced along the height direction of the rectangular clamping plate 41. An mounting plate 453 is fixed in the middle of the crossbar 452. The top surface of the mounting plate 453 is embedded with the card 454. The top cross-section of the card 454 is set as follows: The slot 421 is wedge-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the slot is also wedge-shaped. The wedge structure makes the insertion and release of the card 454 and the slot 421 smoother. A second spring is provided in each of the limiting mounting bases 451. The two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the crossbar 452 and the inner bottom wall of the limiting mounting base 451, respectively. The second spring can give the card 454 an upward elastic force, so that the card 454 can be inserted into the slot 421 when the convex plate 42 moves to the corresponding position to complete the purpose of temporarily locking the convex plate 42.

[0033] In this embodiment, when adding or removing an inflatable film between the recessed groove 411 and the convex pressure plate 42 on the side of the rectangular clamping plate 41, the convex pressure plate 42 is pulled towards the side of the limiting member 45 before the action is performed. This causes the abutment card 454 in the limiting member 45 to insert into the card slot 421, forming a temporary lock on the convex pressure plate 42. This allows personnel to free their hands to deliver the inflatable film between the two rectangular clamping plates 41, avoiding the inconvenience of delivering the inflatable film while pulling the convex pressure plate 42. This improves the efficiency of delivering or removing the inflatable film between the two rectangular clamping plates 41 and also improves the fit of the inflatable film when it is placed between the two rectangular clamping plates 41.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
