Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum material transportation technology, and more specifically, to an aluminum material transfer rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the greenhouse construction process, aluminum is the core material for building the greenhouse frame. Its length is usually matched to the span of the greenhouse (often several meters long), and it needs to be transported to the construction site in batches. As a key auxiliary equipment in greenhouse construction, the aluminum material transfer frame is mainly used to support and fix batches of aluminum materials, preventing them from shaking, colliding, or falling during transportation. At the same time, it needs to facilitate the loading, unloading, and short-distance handling of aluminum materials, directly affecting the construction efficiency of the greenhouse.

[0003] An existing aluminum transfer rack was found to have the following issues during use:

[0004] 1. The existing transfer racks mostly have fixed welded or bolted baffles, and their height cannot be adjusted. When a batch of aluminum materials is stacked high, the fixed-height baffles are difficult to adapt, resulting in poor practicality.

[0005] 2. The existing transfer rack can only support aluminum materials. When the aluminum materials are unloaded and placed on the ground, workers need to pull them, which increases the labor intensity of the workers and makes it less practical. Utility Model Content

[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an aluminum material transfer rack to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, such as insufficient flexibility in adjusting the height of the baffle and inconvenience in disassembling the aluminum material.

[0008] (II) Technical Solution

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum material transfer rack, comprising a support frame, with fixed plates at both ends of the top of the support frame, adjusting components at the top of each of the two sets of fixed plates, and connecting plates slidably mounted on the top of each of the two sets of fixed plates via the adjusting components. Connecting blocks are mounted on the top of the front and rear sides of opposite ends of the two sets of connecting plates, and baffles are mounted on the other ends of the four sets of connecting blocks. The bottom of one end of each of the four sets of baffles is slidably and tightly attached to the inner side of the support frame, and a guide component is provided between the four sets of baffles and the corresponding fixed plates. Two sets of supports are evenly arranged at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the support frame, and a base is provided at the bottom of each of the four sets of supports. A lifting mechanism is mounted on the top of the base, and the front and rear sides of the top of the base are connected to the bottom of the support plate via the lifting mechanism. Several sets of rotating rollers are evenly rotatably mounted on the top of the two sets of support plates, and the front and rear sides of the two sets of support plates are tightly attached to the inner side of the support frame, with the two sets of support plates located between the baffles.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the lifting mechanism includes a drive motor, and fixed blocks are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top of the base. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted on one end of each of the two sets of fixed blocks. The front end of the rotating rod passes through the corresponding fixed block and is mounted on the drive motor. Both the front and rear ends of the outer side of the rotating rod are provided with bidirectional threaded ends, and sliders are uniformly threaded to both ends of the outer side of the rotating rod through the bidirectional threaded ends. The bottoms of the four sets of sliders are slidably connected to the top of the base. The bottoms of the two sets of support plates are provided with hinge components, and the bottoms of the two sets of support plates are hinged to the tops of the two sets of sliders through the hinge components. Through the bidirectional threaded transmission of the drive motor and the rotating rod, the sliders slide synchronously, thereby driving the support plates to rise and fall smoothly through the hinge components. This allows for precise control of the lifting height of the aluminum material. After lifting, when the rotating rod contacts the aluminum material, the aluminum material can be easily detached from the transfer frame, facilitating its movement to the construction area. During descent, the aluminum material can be placed stably, avoiding collision damage.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the hinge assembly includes four sets of sliding plates and multiple sets of support rods. Each of the four sets of sliding plates has a sliding plate at its top, and the front and rear sides of the top of each of the four sets of sliding plates are hinged with support rods via hinges. Furthermore, the bottom of each of the two sets of support plates is hinged to the other end of the corresponding four sets of support rods via hinges. Through the rotational cooperation of the sliding plates and support rods, the horizontal sliding of the sliding plates is converted into the vertical lifting and lowering of the support plates. The transmission process is smooth and without jamming, avoiding the jerking caused by rigid connections, protecting the surface of the greenhouse aluminum material from impact damage. The distribution design of multiple sets of support rods makes the support plates more evenly stressed, stably bearing the weight of batches of aluminum material. Even if the center of gravity of the stacked aluminum material shifts, it can maintain balance through the coordinated support of multiple sets of support rods.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the adjusting component includes two sets of threaded cylinders and two sets of connecting screws. The top of each of the two sets of fixed plates is provided with a groove, and the outer sides of each of the two sets of connecting plates are slidably connected to the corresponding grooves of the fixed plates. Connecting screws are provided at the bottom of the grooves of the two sets of fixed plates, and the tops of each of the two sets of connecting screws are threadedly connected to the bottom of the threaded cylinders. Each of the two sets of connecting plates is provided with a reserved hole, and the reserved holes of each of the two sets of connecting plates are rotatably connected to the outer side of one set of threaded cylinders. The baffle is raised and lowered through the threaded transmission between the threaded cylinders and the connecting screws. This design is simple to operate and has high adjustment precision. It can accurately control the baffle height according to the stacking height of the aluminum material, ensuring that the baffle can accurately align with the side of the aluminum material, enhancing the blocking effect. Furthermore, the self-locking characteristic of the threaded transmission makes it difficult for the baffle to loosen after the height is fixed. Even if bumps are encountered during transportation, the baffle can remain stable, preventing the aluminum material from slipping.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the guiding component includes four sets of mounting blocks and four sets of guide strips. Each of the four sets of baffles has a guide strip at one end. The two sets of fixed plates have mounting blocks on both the front and rear sides of their opposite ends. Each of the four sets of mounting blocks has a U-shaped groove at one end, and the U-shaped grooves of the four sets of mounting blocks are slidably connected to the outer side of the guide strips. Through the sliding cooperation between the guide strips and the U-shaped grooves, the baffle lifting is provided with double limiting, which can effectively resist the lateral force generated by the collision of the aluminum material, ensuring that the baffle always remains parallel to the side of the aluminum material, and the blocking effect is stable.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that sliding grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the grooves of the two sets of fixing plates, and limiting blocks are slidably arranged in the sliding grooves of the four sets of fixing plates. The bottom of the front and rear sides of the two sets of connecting plates are connected to one end of the limiting block. The cooperation between the limiting block and the sliding groove provides additional guidance and limitation for the connecting plate, preventing the connecting plate from shaking back and forth due to the weight of the aluminum material or the bumps during transportation, and further enhancing the stability of the baffle.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a rotating disk is provided on the top of the outer side of both sets of threaded cylinders; this provides a convenient force application point for the rotation of the threaded cylinders, and the operator can easily adjust the height of the baffle without the aid of tools.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an aluminum material transfer rack, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The baffle height can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the components. It can be raised or lowered synchronously according to the stacking height of aluminum materials, which solves the problem that traditional fixed baffles cannot adapt to different stacking heights. When the stack is high, the baffle is raised synchronously, which can prevent aluminum materials from slipping without additional binding. When the stack is low, the baffle is lowered synchronously to avoid obstructing the loading and unloading of aluminum materials.

[0019] 2. The combination of the lifting mechanism and the rotating rollers eliminates the need for manual handling after the aluminum materials are unloaded. They can slide to the construction position via the rotating rollers, making it particularly suitable for the outdoor environment of greenhouse construction sites. This significantly reduces the intensity of manual labor. Furthermore, the support frame and the base are connected by supports, resulting in a strong overall load-bearing capacity that can stably support batches of greenhouse aluminum materials, ensuring the safety of the transportation process.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 An aluminum transfer rack includes a support frame 1. Fixed plates 2 are provided at both ends of the top of the support frame 1. Adjustment components are provided on the top of each of the two sets of fixed plates 2. Connecting plates 3 are slidably provided on the top of each of the two sets of fixed plates 2 via the adjustment components. Connecting blocks 4 are provided on the top of the front and rear sides of each of the four sets of connecting plates 3 opposite to each other. Baffles 5 are provided at the other ends of each of the four sets of baffles 5. The bottom of each of the four sets of baffles 5 is slidably and tightly attached to the inner side of the support frame 1. Guide components are provided between the four sets of baffles 5 and their corresponding fixed plates 2. Two sets of supports 6 are evenly provided at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the support frame 1. Bases 7 are provided at the bottom of the four sets of supports 6. Lifting mechanisms are provided on the top of the bases 7. The front and rear sides of the top of the bases 7 are connected to the bottom of support plates 8 via the lifting mechanisms. Several sets of rotating rollers 9 are evenly rotatably provided on the top of the two sets of support plates 8. The front and rear sides of the two sets of support plates 8 are tightly attached to the inner side of the support frame 1, and the two sets of support plates 8 are located between the baffles 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, during use, the connecting plate 3 is first slid on top of the fixed plate 2 by adjusting the component according to the stacking height of the aluminum materials for the greenhouse. The connecting plate 3 drives the baffle 5 to rise and fall synchronously through the connecting block 4 until the height of the baffle 5 matches the stacking height of the aluminum materials. During the adjustment process, the guide component ensures that the baffle 5 rises and falls smoothly without tilting, and the aluminum materials are neatly stacked on the support 6 frame. Then, the transfer begins. After the transfer is completed to the greenhouse construction position, the lifting mechanism drives the support plate 8 to rise, so that the support plate 8 drives the rotating roller 9 to contact the bottom of the aluminum materials until the top of the support frame 1 and the aluminum materials are no longer in contact. Then, the aluminum materials are pushed, and the rotating roller 9 rotates on top of the support plate 8 to assist the aluminum materials in sliding from the transfer frame to the construction area. After the transfer is completed, the support plate 8 is lowered and reset by operation.

[0031] More specifically, by rotating the threaded cylinder 16 through the rotating disk 21, the threaded cylinder 16 and the connecting screw 17 are threadedly engaged, causing the connecting plate 3 to slide in the groove of the fixed plate 2. The connecting plate 3 drives the baffle 5 to rise and fall synchronously through the connecting block 4 until the height of the baffle 5 matches the height of the aluminum material stacking. After the adjustment is completed, the thread self-locking characteristic of the threaded cylinder 16 and the connecting screw 17 keeps the connecting plate 3 fixed and prevents the baffle 5 from sliding down due to the collision of the aluminum material.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4As one embodiment of the lifting mechanism: the lifting mechanism includes a drive motor 10, and fixed blocks 11 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top of the base 7. Rotating rods 12 are rotatably provided on one end of each of the two sets of fixed blocks 11. The front end of the rotating rod 12 passes through the corresponding fixed block 11 and is provided with a drive motor 10. Both the front and rear ends of the outer side of the rotating rod 12 are provided with bidirectional threaded ends, and both the front and rear ends of the outer side of the rotating rod 12 are uniformly threaded with sliders 13 through the bidirectional threaded ends. The bottom of the four sets of sliders 13 are slidably connected to the top of the base 7. The bottom of the two sets of support plates 8 are provided with hinge components, and the bottom of the two sets of support plates 8 are hinged to the top of the two sets of sliders 13 through the hinge components.

[0033] Specifically, when it is necessary to raise and lower the support plate 8, start the drive motor 10 to drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate between the two sets of fixed blocks 11. The bidirectional threaded end on the outer side of the rotating rod 12 drives the four sets of sliders 13 to slide on the top of the base 7. The sliders 13 drive the support plate 8 to rise through the hinge assembly at the top until the bottom of the aluminum material is separated from the support frame 1 and contacts the rotating roller 9. Then push the aluminum material. The rotating roller 9 rotates on the top of the support plate 8 to assist the aluminum material in sliding from the transfer frame to the construction area. The support plate 8 can be lowered and reset by operation.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 2-4 As a further embodiment of the lifting mechanism: the hinge assembly includes four sets of sliding plates 14 and multiple sets of support rods 15. Each of the four sets of sliders 13 is provided with a sliding plate 14 on its top. The front and rear sides of the top of each of the four sets of sliders 13 are hinged with support rods 15 through hinges. The bottom of each of the two sets of support plates 8 is hinged to the other end of the corresponding four sets of support rods 15 through hinges.

[0035] Specifically, when slider 13 slides, the top slide plate 14 moves synchronously with slider 13. Slide plate 14 drives support rod 15 to rotate through hinge, and the other end of support rod 15 pushes support plate 8 up and down through hinge. When sliders 13 slide relative to each other, support rod 15 expands to both sides, gradually becoming vertical in the length direction, pushing support plate 8 upward. When sliders 13 slide towards each other, support rod 15 retracts towards the center, gradually tilting in the length direction, and support plate 8 descends under its own gravity. Throughout the process, support rod 15 rotates flexibly through hinge, always maintaining a stable connection with slide plate 14 and support plate 8.

[0036] In summary, the overall equipment is in use (or running):

[0037] In use, first, according to the stacking height of the aluminum materials for the greenhouse, rotate the threaded cylinder 16 by rotating the rotating disk 21. The threaded cylinder 16 is threadedly engaged with the connecting screw 17, causing the connecting plate 3 to slide in the groove of the fixed plate 2. The connecting plate 3, through the connecting block 4 and the limiting block 20, drives the baffle 5 to rise and fall synchronously until the height of the baffle 5 matches the stacking height of the aluminum materials. During the adjustment process, the guiding action of the guide strip 19 and the mounting block 18 ensures that the baffle 5 rises and falls smoothly without tilting, neatly stacking the aluminum materials on the support frame 6. Then, the transportation begins, and the materials are transported to the greenhouse. After the construction position is determined, start the drive motor 10, which drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate between the two sets of fixed blocks 11. The bidirectional threaded end on the outer side of the rotating rod 12 drives the four sets of sliders 13 to slide on the top of the base 7. The sliders 13 are hinged by the top support rod 15, which drives the support plate 8 to rise until the bottom of the aluminum material is separated from the support frame 1 and comes into contact with the rotating roller 9. Then the aluminum material is pushed, and the rotating roller 9 rotates on the top of the support plate 8, assisting the aluminum material to slide from the transfer frame to the construction area. The support plate 8 can then be lowered and reset by operation.

[0038] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred.
