Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment, and in particular to a steel pipe conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In underground coal mines, steel pipes are an indispensable and critical material, used in enormous quantities. They are required for everything from tunnel support and hydraulic system construction to ventilation, drainage, and gas extraction. Due to the confined and complex underground environment, and the presence of slope variations, the transportation of some steel pipes can only be done manually.
[0003] In the current technology, the manual handling of steel pipes relies entirely on the traditional method of carrying by hand. Safety accidents caused by handling steel pipes occur frequently, especially in the early stages of mine construction when the amount of steel pipes used is extremely large and the transportation route is long, which is a great test for manpower. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a steel pipe transportation device that has a simple structure, can greatly reduce the labor intensity of steel pipe transportation, and makes steel pipe handling safer.
[0005] The equipment includes wheels, which are rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the wheel frame;
[0006] An assembly rod is provided on the wheel frame, and a fork arm is provided on the assembly rod; the fork arm is used to insert into the inner cavity of the steel pipe and to serve as a support for handling.
[0007] A handle is also provided on the wheel frame.
[0008] The effect achieved is that the steel pipe transport devices are arranged in pairs. When in use, the fork arms of the two steel pipe transport devices are inserted into both ends of the steel pipe and moved laterally, so that the individual steel pipe is detached from its storage device. The movement of the steel pipe transport devices is controlled by two people, that is, the steel pipe is transported to the target location.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it solves the problem of heavy reliance on manual labor in underground steel pipe transportation in the prior art, and realizes equipment support for manual steel pipe transportation, which can improve transportation safety while reducing labor consumption. Moreover, the equipment has a simple structure and low cost in terms of manufacturing and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0017] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The steel pipe transport device of this utility model includes a traveling wheel 1, which is rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the wheel frame 2.
[0018] An assembly rod 6 is provided on the wheel frame 2, and a fork arm 7 is provided on the assembly rod 6; the fork arm 7 is used to insert into the inner cavity of the steel pipe and to serve as a support for handling.
[0019] A handle is also provided on the wheel frame 2.
[0020] The effect achieved is that the steel pipe transport devices are arranged in pairs. When in use, the fork arms 7 of the two steel pipe transport devices are inserted into both ends of the steel pipe and moved laterally, so that the steel pipe is detached from its storage device. The steel pipe transport devices are controlled by two people to move the steel pipe to the target location.
[0021] Example 1, refer to the accompanying drawings in the specification. Figure 3 There are a total of two walking wheels 1, which are arranged in parallel; that is, the two walking wheels 1 are respectively rotatably arranged under the wheel frame 2.
[0022] The effect achieved is to improve the stability of the equipment during movement.
[0023] Example 2, refer to the accompanying drawings in the specification. Figure 1 or Figure 2 The assembly rod 6 is slidably provided with an assembly piece 4, and a pin locking piece 41 is provided between the assembly piece 4 and the assembly rod 6.
[0024] The fork arm 7 is mounted on the assembly 4.
[0025] The effect achieved is that the height of the fork arm 7 can be adjusted by adjusting the relative position between the assembly 4 and the assembly rod 6. This allows for the storage of steel pipes of different heights.
[0026] Furthermore, the locking pin 41 is a spring pin; the assembly rod 6 is provided with multiple pin holes corresponding to the spring pin array.
[0027] This allows for rapid adjustment of the height of the fork arm 7.
[0028] Furthermore, the assembly rod 6 is a square tube, and the assembly sleeve 4 is a shell structure with an inner square and an outer circle.
[0029] A rotating ring 3 is rotatably mounted on the assembly 4, and the fork arm 7 is fixedly mounted on the rotating ring 3.
[0030] The effect achieved is that the assembly rod 6 and the assembly piece 4 do not rotate, which facilitates quick locking; and the rotating ring 3 is rotatably mounted on the assembly piece 4, which means that the rotating ring 3 can rotate based on the traveling wheel 1 or the wheel frame 2, thus achieving free steering of the vehicle body, and ensuring stable support of the steel pipe during the steering process.
[0031] In Example 3, the grip handle 5 is a double grip type, which is the "ram's horn" type in the prior art.
[0032] The effect achieved in this way is that it is easy to hold.
[0033] Example 4, refer to the appendix of the instruction manual. Figure 1 or Figure 2 The fork arm 7 is an integrally formed component, including a straight connecting section, which is bent downwards to form an oblique connecting section, and a support section extends straight from the oblique connecting section. The upper end of the support section is inclined downwards, and an anti-slip pad 71 is also provided on it.
[0034] The effect achieved is that the fork arm 7 has an overall downward-sloping structure, which facilitates the lifting or lowering of its grip handle 5 when loading or unloading pipes, thus supporting the pushing of steel pipes and facilitating loading and unloading.
[0035] Example 5, refer to the accompanying drawings in the specification. Figure 4 A crank arm 72 is also provided at the end of the fork arm 7, that is, at the end of the straight connecting section, and the crank arm 72 is set in a direction perpendicular to the fork arm 7.
[0036] The effect achieved is that, based on embodiment 2, that is, based on the rotating ring 3 being rotatably mounted on the assembly 4, the fork arm 7 is mounted on the rotating ring 3; the setting of the crank arm 72, based on the above structural form, allows personnel to transport steel pipes without one in front and one behind, but to stand separately on the sides of the steel pipe, thereby improving the safety of transportation.
