Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of support transporter clamps, specifically, to a support transporter clamp. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production and various engineering construction scenarios, support transport vehicles play a crucial role as key equipment for the efficient transportation of supports. The transport fixtures, as the core components of these vehicles, directly impact the efficiency and quality of the transport operations.
[0003] Currently available rack transporters and their clamps suffer from numerous problems, severely limiting their application effectiveness. On one hand, existing clamps have limited angular rotation capabilities, typically only allowing for simple up-and-down or left-and-right rotations, lacking the flexibility for multi-angle rotation. In actual transport operations, racks are placed at varying positions and angles, requiring the transport clamps to be able to adjust angles flexibly for precise gripping and placement. However, existing clamps fail to meet this requirement, forcing operators to spend considerable time and effort adjusting rack angles during transport. This not only reduces transport efficiency but also increases labor intensity, and may even lead to rack damage or transport accidents due to improper angle adjustments.
[0004] On the other hand, the fork spacing adjustment of existing handling clamps is inconvenient. Different types and specifications of supports have different width dimensions. However, the fork spacing of existing handling clamps is either fixed and cannot be adjusted, or the adjustment process is cumbersome and complicated, requiring the use of multiple tools for disassembly and installation, which consumes a lot of time. This leads to frequent clamp changes or complex spacing adjustments when handling supports of different specifications, seriously affecting work efficiency. Moreover, an inappropriate fork spacing may also cause the support to be gripped unstablely, resulting in shaking or even falling during handling, posing a great safety hazard.
[0005] With the rapid development of industrial production, the requirements for the efficiency and safety of support handling are becoming increasingly stringent. The limitations of traditional handling fixtures in terms of angle rotation and fork spacing adjustment are no longer adequate for modern production needs. Therefore, developing a support handling fixture capable of flexible rotation at multiple angles and convenient and quick adjustment of fork spacing is urgently needed. This is of significant practical importance for improving handling efficiency, ensuring safe production, and reducing labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, embodiments of this disclosure provide a support transporter clamp, which solves the technical problem that existing clamps, due to the varying placement positions and angles of supports, require flexible angle adjustments for precise gripping and placement. However, existing clamps often fail to meet this requirement.
[0007] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a support transporter clamp, comprising:
[0008] Mounting frame and front frame, the front frame being mounted on the mounting frame;
[0009] A connecting steering assembly is disposed between the mounting bracket and the front frame;
[0010] Front fork assembly, the front fork assembly being disposed outside the front frame;
[0011] The connecting steering assembly includes a steering hydraulic cylinder, which is mounted on the mounting bracket. A fixing bracket is provided inside the mounting bracket, and the fixing bracket and the mounting bracket are fixedly connected by bolts. The steering hydraulic cylinder is fitted inside the fixing bracket.
[0012] As a further technical solution, the output end of the steering hydraulic cylinder is provided with a bearing seat, the bearing seat is rotatably connected in the mounting bracket, the bottom of the steering hydraulic cylinder is provided with a rotating seat, the front frame is fitted on the rotating seat and the bearing seat, and the front frame is fixedly connected to the rotating seat and the bearing seat by bolts.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the fork assembly includes a pair of toothed layers, the toothed layers being formed at the top and bottom of the front frame, a vertical bar being provided on the surface of the front frame, and a fork frame being provided on the surface of the vertical bar.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the fork is provided with through cavities at both the upper and lower ends, and a number of fixed rods are installed in the through cavities. Fixed studs are rotatably connected in the through cavities, and sliders are slidably connected to the fixed rods.
[0015] As a further technical solution, the slider and the fixing stud are connected by a threaded connection, and the surface of the slider is provided with convex teeth, which are inserted into the tooth layer.
[0016] As a further technical solution, the front frame can be controlled to rotate 90° to each side by the steering hydraulic cylinder.
[0017] As a further technical solution, the mounting bracket has several connection holes on its top and bottom.
[0018] As a further technical solution, the fork is located at the upper position of the vertical rod, and the vertical rod is in close contact with the surface of the front frame.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:
[0020] 1. The beneficial effect of the connecting steering assembly in this disclosure is that it greatly improves the angle adjustment flexibility of the handling fixture. The steering hydraulic cylinder, as a power element, can precisely control the rotation of the front frame under the stable support of the fixed frame. The axle seat and the rotating seat cooperate to provide a stable rotation structure for the front frame. Compared with traditional fixtures, this assembly allows the front frame to rotate 90° to each side, adapting to various complex bracket placement angles. In confined spaces or multi-directional handling scenarios, the front frame angle can be quickly adjusted to accurately grip the bracket, improving handling efficiency. Moreover, the stable rotation structure reduces the risk of bracket damage due to improper angle adjustment, ensuring handling safety.
[0021] 2. The beneficial effect of the fork assembly in this disclosure is that it effectively solves the adaptation problem when handling supports of different specifications. Components such as the toothed layer, fixing stud, slider, and convex teeth work together, and the fork spacing can be easily adjusted by rotating the fixing stud. This design avoids the cumbersome disassembly and installation process of traditional clamps, saving time and labor costs. Supports of different sizes can be stably gripped by quickly adjusting the fork spacing, improving the versatility of the handling clamp. At the same time, the fork is located near the top of the vertical bar, and the vertical bar is closely fitted to the front frame, enhancing the support strength of the fork. During handling, it can better bear the weight of the support, preventing the support from swaying or falling, thus improving the stability and safety of handling. Attached Figure Description

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a support transporter clamp according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, comprising:
[0035] Mounting frame 1 and front frame 2, wherein the front frame 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 1;
[0036] A connecting steering assembly 3 is disposed between the mounting bracket 1 and the front frame 2;
[0037] Front fork assembly 4, the front fork assembly 4 being disposed outside the front frame 2;
[0038] The connecting steering assembly 3 includes a steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1, which is mounted on the mounting frame 1. A fixing frame 3-2 is provided inside the mounting frame 1, and the fixing frame 3-2 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1 by bolts. The steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1 is fitted inside the fixing frame 3-2. A bearing seat 3-3 is provided at the output end of the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1, and the bearing seat 3-3 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1. A rotating seat 3-4 is provided at the bottom of the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1. The front frame 2 is fitted on the rotating seat 3-4 and the bearing seat 3-3, and the front frame 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 3-4 and the bearing seat 3-3 by bolts.
[0039] In some examples, during the handling operations of the support transport vehicle, a connecting steering assembly 3 is designed to allow for flexible adjustment of the orientation of the front frame 2. This assembly is based on the mounting frame 1, with a steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1 mounted on the mounting frame 1 serving as a power source to provide driving force for the steering of the front frame 2. A fixed frame 3-2, which is bolted to the inside of the mounting frame 1, is used to position and support the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1, ensuring its stable installation. The steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1 is tightly fitted inside the fixed frame 3-2, which can maintain a stable position during operation and prevent displacement. The shaft seat 3-3 at the output end of the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 1, providing a fulcrum for the rotation of the front frame 2. The rotating seat 3-4 at the bottom of the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1 serves as another support point for the installation of the front frame 2. The front frame 2 is fitted onto the rotating seat 3-4 and the shaft seat 3-3 and is fixedly connected by bolts. When the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1 is working, its extension and retraction will cause the bearing seat 3-3 and the rotating seat 3-4 to move relative to each other, thereby causing the front frame 2 to rotate to both sides with the bearing seat 3-3 as the fulcrum, so as to adjust the orientation of the front frame 2 to adapt to different handling needs and working scenarios.
[0040] Through the coordinated work of components such as steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1, fixed frame 3-2, axle seat 3-3, and rotating seat 3-4, the connecting steering assembly 3 can precisely control the front frame 2 to rotate to both sides to adjust its orientation.
[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the front fork assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a pair of toothed layers 4-1. The toothed layers 4-1 are formed at the top and bottom of the front frame 2. A vertical rod 4-2 is provided on the surface of the front frame 2. A fork frame 4-3 is provided on the surface of the vertical rod 4-2. A through cavity 4-4 is provided at both the upper and lower ends of the fork frame 4-3. A plurality of fixing rods 4-5 are installed in the through cavity 4-4. A fixing stud 4-6 is rotatably connected in the through cavity 4-4. A slider 4-7 is slidably connected to the fixing rod 4-5. The slider 4-7 is connected to the fixing stud 4-6 by a threaded engagement. The surface of the slider 4-7 is provided with a tooth 4-8. The tooth 4-8 is inserted into the toothed layer 4-1.
[0042] In some examples, a fork assembly 4 is designed to meet the handling needs of supports of different sizes during the use of the support transport vehicle. This assembly includes a pair of toothed layers 4-1 on the top and bottom of the front frame 2, providing a positioning structure for adjusting the position of the fork carriage 4-3. A vertical rod 4-2 on the surface of the front frame 2 is used to install the fork carriage 4-3, and through cavities 4-4 at the upper and lower ends of the fork carriage 4-3 provide installation space for internal components. Several fixed rods 4-5 and rotatably connected fixed studs 4-6 installed in the through cavities 4-4 cooperate with sliders 4-7 that slide on the fixed rods 4-5 and are threadedly connected to the fixed studs 4-6. When the fixed studs 4-6 are rotated, the sliders 4-7 slide along the direction of the through cavities 4-4 on the fixed rods 4-5, and the protruding teeth 4-8 on the surface of the sliders 4-7 can be inserted into the toothed layers 4-1 to fix the position of the fork carriage 4-3. By moving the vertical bar 4-2 laterally, the distance and position between the two forks 4-3 can be flexibly changed, thereby adapting to the handling of supports of different sizes and shapes and improving the versatility and practicality of the handling fixture.
[0043] Through the coordinated work of components such as tooth layer 4-1, vertical rod 4-2, fork 4-3, through cavity 4-4, fixing rod 4-5, fixing stud 4-6, slider 4-7 and convex tooth 4-8, the front fork assembly 4 can flexibly adjust the distance and position between the two forks 4-3.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the front frame 2 can be controlled to rotate 90° to each side by the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1.
[0045] In some examples, the desired effect can be fully achieved by rotating the sides by 90°.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 has several connection holes 5 on its top and bottom.
[0047] In some examples, a connection hole 5 is provided for fasteners to pass through and connect and fix to the transport vehicle.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fork 4-3 is located above the vertical rod 4-2, and the vertical rod 4-2 is in close contact with the surface of the front frame 2.
[0049] In some examples, by placing it in a higher position, the support strength of the fork 4-3 can be increased.
[0050] In actual use: First, connect and fix the mounting bracket 1 to the support transport vehicle using fasteners through the connecting holes 5 at its top and bottom. According to the placement position and angle of the support to be transported, start the steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1. The steering hydraulic cylinder 3-1 extends and retracts to push the bearing seat 3-3 and the rotating seat 3-4, so that the front frame 2, which is mounted on both, rotates with the bearing seat 3-3 as the fulcrum. The front frame 2 can rotate up to 90° to each side. After adjusting to a suitable angle, according to the width of the support, rotate the fixing stud 4-6 in the cavity 4-4 of the fork 4-3. This will drive the slider 4-7, which is threaded with the fixing stud 4-6, to slide on the fixing rod 4-5. The protruding teeth 4-8 on the slider 4-7 move in the tooth layer 4-1, thereby adjusting the position of the fork 4-3 on the vertical rod 4-2 and changing the distance between the two forks 4-3. After the adjustment is completed, move the transport vehicle to align the forks 4-3 with the support for gripping and transporting.
