Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of alkaline washing equipment, specifically to a device for transferring baskets placed in an alkaline washing tank. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum tubes are a common aluminum alloy material with good thermal conductivity, ductility, and corrosion resistance. Aluminum is widely used as a raw material in industries such as chemical, refrigeration, and aerospace. During the processing of aluminum tubes, alkaline washing is required to remove surface oil and other contaminants, dissolve the natural oxide layer, and improve surface activity, providing a good substrate for subsequent processing.
[0003] Currently, alkaline washing of aluminum tubes typically requires the use of a placement basket to hold the workpieces. During alkaline washing, the workpieces are placed in the basket, which is then lifted and moved above the alkaline washing tank using a horizontal lifting platform. It is then lowered vertically, immersing the entire basket, along with the workpieces, in the alkaline washing solution for a predetermined time. When placing the aluminum tubes into the basket, it must be transported via a transfer trolley. After the aluminum tubes are loaded, they are transferred to the working area of the horizontal lifting platform using the transfer trolley. However, during the transfer process, the bottom of the basket directly contacts the trolley's bearing surface, making it susceptible to contamination and potentially causing contamination of the alkaline washing tank during subsequent washing processes. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for transferring a basket placed in an alkaline washing tank, which enables the basket to remain suspended during the transfer process, preventing its bottom surface from contacting the trolley's bearing surface and reducing the possibility of contamination of the alkaline washing tank.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a basket transfer device for alkaline washing tank, comprising a transfer vehicle and a translating elevator. The transfer vehicle is provided with a support structure for supporting a suspended crossbeam. The support structure is provided with at least two first latches. The two ends of the suspended crossbeam are provided with first engaging parts that cooperate with the first latches. A basket is suspended on the suspended crossbeam. The two ends of the suspended crossbeam are also provided with second engaging parts above the first engaging parts. The translating elevator is provided with a connecting structure below the lifting end that cooperates with the second engaging parts.
[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that each end of the suspension beam is provided with at least two first locking parts, and the support structure has at least two first locking slots corresponding to each end, with the first locking slots opening upwards, and the first locking parts can fall down and lock into the corresponding first locking slots.
[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that each end of the suspension beam is provided with at least two second locking parts, and the connection structure includes a support plate set below the lifting end of the translation elevator by a connecting block. The upper surface of the support plate is provided with an upward-facing second locking slot, and the translation elevator supports the corresponding second locking parts from bottom to top through the support plate.
[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the suspension beam is symmetrically provided with limiting blocks, and the distance between the two limiting blocks matches the distance between the two hooks on the basket.
[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that the cross-section of the suspension beam is rectangular, and the placement basket is provided with two hooks that cooperate with the suspension beam, the opening shape of the hooks being adapted to the cross-section of the suspension beam.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the placement basket is provided with several horizontally spaced dividing strips, and the spacing between adjacent dividing strips is adapted to the outer diameter of the aluminum tube.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that a bottom support strip is provided between adjacent partition strips on the bottom end of the placement basket. The upper end of the bottom support strip is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions along its length direction. The distance between adjacent limiting protrusions is greater than the wall thickness of the aluminum tube and less than the inner diameter of the aluminum tube.
[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that both the first snap-fit part and the second snap-fit part are round rods.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the transfer vehicle includes a movable floor, a support frame is provided on the floor, the support structure is a support block provided on the upper end of the support frame, and the internal space of the support frame is used to accommodate the placement basket suspended on the suspension beam.
[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that the support frame is provided with two side blocks, which are located on opposite sides of the two support blocks respectively.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention suspends the placement basket on the transfer vehicle by means of a suspension beam, rather than directly contacting the carrier surface of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of contamination of the bottom of the placement basket during the transfer process by direct contact with the carrier surface of the vehicle, thereby preventing contaminants from entering the alkaline washing tank during subsequent alkaline washing, ensuring the cleanliness of the alkaline washing solution, and improving the surface treatment quality of aluminum tubes.
[0017] This invention enhances the stability and reliability of the suspension beam on the transfer vehicle by setting at least two first locking parts and corresponding locking slots, preventing the beam from loosening or falling off due to vibration or bumps during transportation, thereby ensuring that the placement basket is always suspended, reducing accidental contamination. The upward-opening locking slots facilitate quick loading and unloading, improving the ease of operation of the transfer device.
[0018] This utility model effectively restricts the lateral movement of the basket on the suspension beam by using symmetrical limiting blocks in conjunction with the basket hook, preventing the basket from sliding due to inertia or external force during transportation or lifting, thus improving safety during use.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Example 1: Combination Figures 1-6It is known that an alkaline washing tank placement basket transfer device includes a transfer vehicle 1 and a translation elevator 2. The transfer vehicle 1 is provided with a support structure for supporting a suspension beam 3. The support structure is provided with at least two first latches 4. The two ends of the suspension beam 3 are provided with first locking parts 5 that cooperate with the first latches 4. A placement basket 6 is suspended on the suspension beam 3. The two ends of the suspension beam 3 are also provided with second locking parts 7 above the first locking parts 5. The lower end of the translation elevator 2 is provided with a connection structure that cooperates with the second locking parts 7.
[0028] A translational lifting platform is a conventional piece of equipment in the prior art, possessing translational and vertical lifting functions. It is used to transfer baskets containing workpieces between workstations (such as loading areas, alkaline washing tanks, water washing tanks, and unloading areas) and immerse them in the corresponding workstations. Optionally, the equipment includes two parallel tracks, with a gantry frame erected on the two tracks. Two uprights are slidably connected to the tracks and driven by a power source (such as a motor, chain / gear transmission system) to translate along the tracks. A lifting beam is slidably connected vertically between the two uprights, with both ends of the beam slidably connected to the opposite surfaces of the uprights and driven by a power source (such as a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, motor-driven screw / chain) to vertically lift along the direction of the uprights. This utility model does not involve any improvement to the basic principle and structure of the translational lifting platform; it only adds a connecting structure to the lower end face of the lifting beam, which is used to cooperate with the second locking part 7.
[0029] Each end of the suspension beam 3 is provided with at least two first locking parts 5, and the support structure has at least two first locking slots 4 corresponding to each end. The first locking slots 4 are set with their openings facing upwards, and the first locking parts 5 can fall down and lock into the corresponding first locking slots 4.
[0030] Each end of the suspended crossbeam 3 is provided with at least two second locking parts 7. The connecting structure includes a support plate 8 set below the lifting end of the translational lift 2 via a connecting block. The upper surface of the support plate 8 is provided with an upward-facing second locking slot 9. The translational lift 2 lifts the corresponding second locking parts 7 from bottom to top using the support plate 8. The translational lift 2 drives its lifting end to descend, so that the support plate 8 is located below the second locking parts 7 of the suspended crossbeam 3. Then, it raises the lifting end, using the second locking slot 9 on the support plate 8 to lift and lock the corresponding second locking parts 7 from bottom to top, thereby realizing the lifting of the suspended crossbeam 3 (together with the placement basket 6).
[0031] Preferably, the suspension beam 3 has first connecting blocks at both ends, and two second snap-fit parts 7 are fixed to the first connecting blocks. When viewed from above, the two first connecting blocks and the suspension beam 3 form an "H" shape. Preferably, a second connecting block is provided above the first connecting blocks and arranged parallel to them. The second connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the suspension beam 3 by fixing blocks, and two second snap-fit parts 7 on each side are provided on the second connecting blocks.
[0032] Symmetrical limit blocks 10 are provided on the suspension beam 3, and the distance between the two limit blocks 10 matches the distance between the two hooks 11 on the placement basket 6. This is used to limit the movement of the placement basket 6 along the axial direction of the suspension beam 3 when it is suspended.
[0033] The cross-section of the suspension beam 3 is rectangular. The basket 6 has two hooks 11 that mate with the suspension beam 3. The opening shape of the hooks 11 is adapted to the cross-section of the suspension beam 3. This allows the hooks 11 to be stably hooked onto the suspension beam 3 and restricts its rotation. Preferably, the basket 6 has a support beam at its opening, and the hooks 11 are mounted on the support beam.
[0034] The basket 6 is equipped with several horizontally spaced dividing strips 12, the spacing of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the aluminum tubes. The dividing strips 12 separate the aluminum tubes into rows, limiting their swaying.
[0035] Between adjacent partition bars 12, a bottom support bar 13 is provided on the bottom end of the placement basket 6. The upper end of the bottom support bar 13 is provided with several limiting protrusions 14 along its length. The distance between adjacent limiting protrusions 14 is greater than the wall thickness of the aluminum tube and less than the inner diameter of the aluminum tube. When the aluminum tube is placed, the lower end of the aluminum tube opening is limited by the limiting protrusions 14 inserted therein. The bottom support bar 13 and the limiting protrusions 14 further fix the vertical position of the aluminum tube between the partition bars, preventing the aluminum tube from rolling or tipping over.
[0036] Both the first locking part 5 and the second locking part 7 are round rods, and their axes are parallel to the length direction of the suspension beam 3. Preferably, the second locking opening 9 is a V-shaped opening. Preferably, the first locking opening 4 is a V-shaped opening, which facilitates guiding the first locking part 5 (round rod) to fall in and lock.
[0037] The transfer vehicle 1 includes a movable floor 15, on which a support frame 16 is provided. The support structure is a support block 17 located at the upper end of the support frame 16. The internal space of the support frame 16 is used to accommodate the placement basket 6 suspended on the suspension beam 3, so that the transfer vehicle 1 can carry the suspension beam 3 with the basket and move it.
[0038] The support frame 16 is provided with two side blocks 18, which are located on opposite outer sides of the two support blocks 17. The side blocks provide additional lateral restraint to prevent the suspension beam 3 from shifting laterally or slipping off the support blocks 17 when the transfer vehicle moves, thereby improving the stability of transportation.
[0039] The working principle of Embodiment 1 of the alkaline washing tank basket transfer device provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0040] During operation, the suspension beam 3 is first secured to the first latches 4 of the support block 17 of the transfer vehicle 1 via the first latches 5 at both ends. The placement basket 6 is then suspended on the suspension beam 3. The aluminum tube is inserted into the placement basket 6. The transfer vehicle 1 moves the aluminum tube to a designated position below the translation lift 2. The translation lift 2 lowers its lifting end, causing the pallet 8 to descend below the second latches 7 at both ends of the suspension beam 3. The second latches 9 on the pallet 8 are aligned directly below the second latches 7. The translation lift 2 then raises its lifting end, causing the pallet 8 to rise accordingly. The second latches 9 on the pallet 8 lift from below and engage the second latches 7. At this point, the weight of the suspension beam 3 (along with the placement basket 6) is transferred from the support block 17 of the transfer vehicle 1 to the pallet 8 of the translation lift 2. The translation elevator 2 drives its lifting end (along with the suspension beam 3 and the placement basket 6) to a sufficient height and moves it along the track, moving the suspension beam 3 and the placement basket 6 above the target alkaline washing tank, and slowly lowers it to immerse the placement basket 6 into the alkaline washing tank for treatment.
