Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building construction technology, and more specifically, relates to a modular building transportation anti-tipping limiting frame and transportation system. Background Technology

[0002] Modular buildings are typically assembled from multiple prefabricated modules. These modules face various external forces during transportation, hoisting, and final assembly, such as wind and lifting forces. Overturning can not only damage the modules and cause significant economic losses but also endanger the lives of personnel on the construction site. Therefore, ensuring the stability of the modules at each stage and effectively preventing overturning accidents is a crucial step in ensuring the smooth construction and use of modular buildings, and an important prerequisite for maintaining building quality and construction safety.

[0003] Existing technologies have limited adjustment range for support rods, covering only module widths of 0.5-1.5 meters, making them unsuitable for extra-wide or irregularly shaped modules and resulting in poor adaptability. During transportation, the rigid contact between the support rod and the module leads to poor cushioning, resulting in a module corner breakage rate as high as 5%. Furthermore, this technology has low automation, requiring manual calibration of limit positions, with each adjustment taking approximately 10 minutes, leading to low operational efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to invent a transportation anti-tipping device that can improve stability in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0046] Example 1:

[0047] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a modular anti-tipping limiting frame for building transportation, which is installed on the transport vehicle and includes: a base plate 1, a limiting truss 2, a laser scanning component and a control component;

[0048] The base plate 1 has an installation position; the limiting truss 2 is located at the installation position and is used to limit the movement of transported goods; the limiting truss 2 includes a vertical support component 201, a horizontal limiting component 202, and a hydraulic strut 203. The vertical support component 201 includes two pairs of columns, which are slidably mounted on the base plate 1. The top connection trajectory of the two pairs of columns forms a rectangle. The horizontal limiting component 202 includes a pair of limiting plate components 2021, each of which connects a pair of adjacent columns. A limiting space is formed between the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021 for limiting the transported goods. A separator 2022 is also provided on the opposite sides of the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021. A hydraulic strut 203 is provided between the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021 for adjusting the distance between the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021. A laser scanning assembly is provided on the limiting truss 2 for identifying the edge contour of the transported goods. The control assembly is electrically connected to the laser scanning assembly and the hydraulic strut 203.

[0049] Specifically, the modular building transport anti-tipping limiting frame provided by this utility model uses a laser scanning component to identify the edge contour of the transported goods and transmits the data to a control component. The control component precisely controls the extension and retraction of the hydraulic struts 203 based on the scanning results, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting plate components 2021 and achieving automatic limiting of modular buildings of different sizes and shapes. This automated limiting method not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of limiting but also greatly reduces the time and labor intensity of manual adjustments, significantly enhancing the operational convenience and work efficiency during the transport of modular buildings. Furthermore, the limiting frame's ingenious structural design combines the vertical support component 201 with the horizontal limiting component 202 to form a stable rectangular limiting space, effectively preventing the modules from tipping over during transport. The hydraulic struts 203 further enhance the adaptability and stability of the limiting frame, enabling it to better cope with changes in the size of different modules and bumps during transport. This innovative design not only improves the safety of modular buildings during transport but also reduces the risk of module damage due to tipping, thus providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and safe transport of modular buildings.

[0050] In some preferred embodiments, the limiting truss 2 further includes an adjusting baffle 3, which is connected to the ends of a pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021 and forms a U-shaped structure with the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021; the U-shaped structure is used to form an installation limiting space for installing the modular building; wherein, a sliding groove 301 is provided on the outer side of the adjusting baffle 3 along the length direction, and the ends of the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021 can slide in the sliding groove 301, so that the distance between the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021 is adjustable. Specifically, the ends of the pair of limiting plate assemblies 2021 include a central slider 204 and a pair of side pulleys 205, with the pair of side pulleys 205 symmetrically arranged on corresponding sides of the central slider 204; the sliding groove 301 of the adjusting baffle 3 includes a central sliding groove 3011 and a pair of side sliding grooves 2012, with the pair of side sliding grooves 2012 symmetrically distributed on corresponding sides of the central sliding groove 3011; wherein, the pair of side pulleys 205 are correspondingly arranged in the pair of side sliding grooves 2012, and the central slider 204 is located in the central sliding groove 3011.

[0051] When the adjusting baffle 3 is adjusted to the preset position, it is necessary to limit the adjusting baffle 3 to prevent misalignment during transportation. To this end, this embodiment proposes an implementation method: the outer wall of the adjusting baffle 3 is also provided with a limiting groove. The opening direction of the limiting groove is perpendicular to the opening direction of one of the side slide grooves 2012, and the limiting groove is connected to the side slide groove 2012; the locking assembly 6 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove of the adjusting baffle 3 and has a locking end. The locking end can extend into the limiting groove until it abuts against the side slide groove 2012 and the side pulley 205 to limit the side pulley 205.

[0052] Furthermore, the locking assembly 6 includes a limiting housing with a clamping part clamping the adjusting baffle 3 and sliding along the opening direction of the adjusting baffle 3 toward the side slide groove 2012. The limiting housing is provided with a plurality of screw holes at the position opposite to the limiting groove. A locking screw is threaded into the screw holes and can extend into the side slide groove 2012 to abut against the outer side of the side pulley 205. In this way, when limiting is required, the locking screw is screwed into the screw hole, and then the locking screw abuts against the outer wall of the side pulley 205 to fix its position.

[0053] In some preferred embodiments, the adjusting baffle 3 is further provided with a plurality of winding rollers 4, which are rotatably connected to the adjusting baffle 3. Each winding roller 4 is wound with a wire 5, so that the wire 5 can be used to fix the modular building being transported as a whole.

[0054] In some preferred embodiments, the limiting plate assembly 2021 includes a plate structure formed by combining a plurality of sub-plates 20211, and adjacent sub-plates 20211 are flexibly connected by flexible connectors 20213, such as metal hoses and steel flexible connectors (steel flexible connectors are typically used in applications requiring high strength and wear resistance. For example, high-strength bolts and nuts can be used to connect large mechanical equipment or building structures. Steel connectors can also be made into components with elasticity and flexibility through special processing techniques (such as stamping). The separators 2022 are spaced apart along the length of the plate structure, and The plate structure is detachably connected; an arc-shaped support plate 20213 is located on the side of the plate structure away from the separator 2022, and a support space is formed between the arc-shaped support plate 20213 and the plate structure; a plurality of top rods 20214 are provided, one end of which is fixed to the arc-shaped support plate 20213, and the other end of which is supported on the partition plate 20211 through a universal joint 20215. In this way, when shaking occurs during vehicle transportation, part of the force can be dissipated through the flexible structure between the two partition plates 20211 to ensure that the modular building does not experience rigid friction and collision.

[0055] In some preferred embodiments, the base plate 1, the limiting plate assembly 2021 and the adjusting baffle 3 are all covered with soft packaging material to prevent the modular building from colliding with the base plate 1 and the limiting plate assembly 2021 during transportation and causing damage.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments, the base plate 1 is provided with a slide rail, and the bottom of the limiting truss 2 is provided with a pulley assembly. The pulley assembly includes a pulley and a limiting member. The pulley can slide relative to the slide rail, and the limiting member is used to restrict the sliding state of the pulley.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] This invention provides a transportation system including the aforementioned modular building transport anti-tipping limiting frame. The anti-tipping limiting laser scanning component identifies the edge contour of the transported goods and transmits the data to a control component. The control component precisely controls the extension and retraction of hydraulic struts 203 based on the scanning results, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting plate assemblies 2021 and achieving automatic limiting of modular buildings of different sizes and shapes.

[0059] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
