[0025] It should be noted that, in order to make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] Depend on Figure 1-5The illustrated car parts transfer vehicle includes a support frame 1, with several casters 2 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 1. Several support rods 3 are fixedly connected at equal intervals inside the support frame 1, and support members are fixedly connected to the top surface of the support rods 3. A first side rail and a second side rail are respectively hinged to both ends of the top surface of the support frame 1. A crossbeam is detachably connected between the first side rail and the second side rail. The crossbeam and the support members are used to support the sheet metal parts 4 of the car. A connecting member is hinged between the first side rail and the second side rail and the support frame 1. The connecting member includes a support rod 5 and a top rod 6. One end of the top rod 6 abuts against one end of the support rod 5, and the other end of the top rod 6 is hinged to the support frame 1 for a limiting position.
[0027] Furthermore, sheet metal part 4 is a complete vehicle part. This transfer vehicle is mainly suitable for the rear door outer panel of a hatchback, and can also be adapted to other suitable structural parts by adjusting the height of the crossbeam.
[0028] Further optimizing the design, the crossbeam includes a crossbar 7. Several first support blocks 8 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the crossbar 7, and these first support blocks 8 abut against the inner hole of the sheet metal part 4. Irregularly shaped connectors 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar 7, and the two connectors 9 are detachably connected to the first side rail and the second side rail, respectively. Using the crossbar 7 and the first support blocks 8, a support point can be established at the top of the sheet metal part 4.
[0029] Furthermore, the crossbar 7 is preferably a U-shaped square structure, which facilitates the fixed installation of the first support block 8.
[0030] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the crossbar 7 is fixedly connected with several strong magnetic buckles, which can be attracted to the side of the support frame 1 when the transport vehicle is folded, so as to achieve complete storage of the whole.
[0031] Further optimization of the scheme: the first side rail includes a first push beam 10, with a first column 11 fixedly connected to both ends of the first push beam 10. The bottom end of the first column 11 is hinged to the top surface of the support frame 1, and one side of the first column 11 is hinged to the other end of the support rod 5. A second column 12 is hinged to the middle of the first push beam 10, and a number of first insertion holes 13 adapted to the connector 9 are opened on one side of the second column 12.
[0032] Furthermore, a rubber strip is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connector 9 that is compatible with the first socket 13. The first socket 13 has an anti-slip groove that is compatible with the rubber strip. The cooperation between the rubber strip and the anti-slip groove can prevent the second column 12 from falling off.
[0033] Furthermore, a clearance groove is provided on the side of the first column 11. When the first side rail is folded, the support rod 5 can be folded into the clearance groove, which improves the neatness of the present invention after folding.
[0034] Further optimizing the design, the second side rail includes a second push beam 14, with third columns 15 fixedly connected to both ends of the second push beam 14. The bottom end of the third column 15 is hinged to the top surface of the support frame 1, and one side of the third column 15 is hinged to the other end of the support rod 5. A fourth column 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the second push beam 14. Several screw holes 17 are evenly spaced on the side of the fourth column 16. A sliding sleeve 18 is fitted on the outside of the fourth column 16. A screw 19 is threaded through and screwed onto the side of the sliding sleeve 18. The sliding sleeve 18 is screwed to the fourth column 16 through the screw 19 and the screw holes 17. A second insertion hole 20 adapted to the connector 9 is opened on the side of the sliding sleeve 18.
[0035] Furthermore, the irregularly shaped connectors 9 fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar 7 can be adapted to the first socket 13 and the second socket 20. The bottom end of the first socket 13 is adapted to the connector 9, and the top end of the first socket 13 has a clearance to facilitate engagement with the corresponding connector 9 during the folding of the second column 12. The second socket 20 is fully adapted to the corresponding connector 9, which facilitates the placement of sheet metal parts 4 on the transfer vehicle at one end of the crossbar 7.
[0036] Further optimizing the design, the top surface of the support frame 1 has several inclined grooves 21. One end of the top rod 6 is adapted to and limited by the inclined groove 21. One end of the top rod 6 has an arc-shaped groove, and one end of the support rod 5 has an arc-shaped structure. One end of the support rod 5 abuts against one end of the top rod 6 through the arc-shaped groove. When using this utility model, the first and second side rails must be folded up first, so that the first column 11 and the third column 15 are at 90° to the support frame 1. The second column 12 is not folded up and is connected to the connector 9. Only one end of the crossbar 7 is connected to the second insertion hole 20 of the sliding sleeve 18 through the connector 9. This makes it easy for the user to lift the sheet metal part 4 and put it on the crossbar 7, and then place it on the second support block 22 and the first support block 8 for secure locking.
[0037] The scheme is further optimized. The support component includes several second support blocks 22. The bottom surface of the second support block 22 is fixedly connected to the support rod 3. The second support block 22 and the first support block 8 are made of elastic polyurethane foam.
[0038] Furthermore, when the first and second side rails are folded and attached to the top surface of the support frame 1, there is a gap between their top surfaces, which can further optimize the storage space occupied by this utility model after folding.
[0039] Furthermore, when the sheet metal part 4 is fully loaded, the second column 12 is folded down and connected to the connector 9. The second column 12 is used to support the other end of the crossbar 7, reducing the deflection on one side of the crossbar 7.
[0040] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0041] The automotive parts transfer vehicle of the present invention has a core structure including a support frame 1, and a number of universal wheels 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 1 to facilitate flexible movement of the transfer vehicle.
[0042] In use, firstly, fold up the first and second side rails so that the first upright 11 and the third upright 15 form a 90° angle with the support frame 1, while the second upright 12 remains folded. Next, connect one end of the crossbar 7 to the second insertion hole 20 of the sliding sleeve 18 via the connector 9. This operation is convenient because the second insertion hole 20 and the corresponding connector 9 are perfectly matched. Then, the user lifts the sheet metal part 4 and places it on the crossbar 7, so that the inner hole of the sheet metal part 4 abuts against the first support block 8, while the bottom of the sheet metal part 4 is securely engaged with the second support block 22, completing the initial placement of the sheet metal part 4.
[0043] When sheet metal part 4 is fully loaded, the second column 12 is folded down, allowing the connector 9 to engage with the first insertion hole 13. The second column 12 supports the other end of the crossbar 7, reducing the unilateral deflection of the crossbar 7 and ensuring stable support of the crossbeam for sheet metal part 4 during transport. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the crossbeam to accommodate parts of different vehicle models, the screw 19 on the sliding sleeve 18 can be loosened to allow the sliding sleeve 18 to slide up and down on the fourth column 16 to a suitable position. Then, the screw 19 is tightened to fix the sliding sleeve 18 in the new position, thereby achieving the adjustment of the crossbeam height.
[0044] When the transfer vehicle is finished and needs to be stored, the first and second side panels are folded towards the top surface of the support frame 1 until they are flush. Since there is a gap between the top surfaces of the first and second side panels when they are folded and flush with the top surface of the support frame 1, the space occupied after folding can be further optimized.
[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
