Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco manufacturing technology, and in particular to a frame-mounted display vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco production process, the threshing machine on the threshing and re-drying production line is equipped with a certain number of frames. The threshing machine utilizes the rotation of the threshing roller to cause relative movement between the moving and fixed blades mounted on the roller. The friction between the moving blades and the frames separates the tobacco leaves and stems. When the tobacco leaves and stems are smaller than the opening size of the frame, they can fall through the opening to the next stage of equipment for further processing. Because different origins and grades of tobacco leaves have different processing requirements, frames with different opening sizes need to be replaced according to these requirements.

[0003] However, the frame itself is quite heavy and is usually located high on the leaf-removing machine, making replacement time-consuming and labor-intensive. Workers may need to lift the frame during operation, which poses certain safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a frame placement vehicle to assist workers in installing or replacing frames. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a frame placement vehicle that facilitates the smooth lifting, placement, and retrieval of frames, reduces the friction caused by frame pulling, effectively reduces manual labor input, saves time and effort in the frame replacement process, and ensures the safety of workers.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Carts placed in frames include:

[0008] The vehicle frame is vertically supported by four fixed uprights.

[0009] The placement layer includes two guide bars, which are arranged at the same horizontal height; the grooves of the two guide bars are both vertically upward, or the grooves of the two guide bars are arranged opposite each other.

[0010] One of the guide grooves is connected at both ends to two adjacent fixed supports, and the other guide groove is connected at both ends to the remaining two fixed supports; multiple guide beads are rolled and embedded in the bottom of the grooves of both guide grooves along the in-and-out direction of the frame.

[0011] A fork arm sleeve is fixed to the frame and is used to insert into the fork arm of the forklift. The insertion direction of the fork arm sleeve is horizontal.

[0012] As an optional technical solution for the frame-mounted placement vehicle, the frame-mounted placement vehicle includes multiple placement layers, which are spaced apart along the vertical direction.

[0013] As an optional technical solution for the frame-and-bar placement vehicle, the fixed frame is provided with multiple recording identifiers, and each of the multiple recording identifiers corresponds to a placement layer. The recording identifiers are used to record the specifications of the frame placed on the corresponding placement layer.

[0014] As an optional technical solution for the framed placement vehicle, the placement layer is selectively slidably disposed on the fixed frame in the vertical direction.

[0015] As an optional technical solution for the frame-mounted vehicle, the placement layer is provided with a limiting member, and adjacent placement layers selectively abut against the limiting member.

[0016] As an optional technical solution for placing vehicles in a frame, multiple fork arm sleeves are provided at intervals along the insertion direction.

[0017] As an optional technical solution for the frame-mounted vehicle, the frame-mounted vehicle also includes wheels, with at least three wheels, which are fixed to the bottom of the vehicle frame.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] The frame-mounted storage cart provided by this utility model includes a frame, a storage layer, and a fork arm sleeve. The storage layer includes two guide rails, which are positioned at the same horizontal level. The grooves of both guide rails are vertically upward or can be positioned opposite each other to facilitate docking with the frame. The frame has four vertically mounted fixed supports. One guide rail connects to two adjacent fixed supports at both ends, and the other guide rail connects to the remaining two fixed supports at both ends, allowing for balanced and stable placement of the frame. Multiple rollers are rolled into the bottom of the grooves of both guide rails along the in-and-out direction of the frame. The guide ball reduces the friction between the frame and the guide strip during relative movement, saving the workers' energy. The fork arm sleeve is fixed to the frame and is used to insert into the fork arm of the forklift. The insertion direction of the fork arm sleeve is set horizontally, which not only allows the frame placement cart and the frame to be moved to the leaf-cutting machine by the forklift, but also allows the frame placement cart to be raised and lowered by the forklift instead of manual labor, raising the frame to the installation height on the leaf-cutting machine. This effectively reduces the labor input, and the replacement process of the frame is time-saving and labor-saving, and can avoid the safety hazards that exist when the frame is carried up and down the stairs by the workers during the replacement process.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0029] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a frame placement vehicle, including a frame, a placement layer, and a fork arm sleeve 3. The placement layer includes two guide strips 5, which are used to engage the placement frames 6. The two guide strips 5 are positioned at the same horizontal level to ensure even force distribution on the frames 6. The grooves of both guide strips 5 are vertically upward, or they can be positioned opposite each other to accommodate different types of frames 6, thus expanding the applicability of the frame placement vehicle. The frame is a cage-like skeleton, including four vertically arranged fixed supports 1. One guide strip 5 connects to two adjacent fixed supports 1 at both ends, and the other guide strip 5 connects to the remaining two fixed supports 1 at both ends. The symmetrical arrangement of the two guide strips 5 allows for balanced and stable placement of the frames 6, preventing frame deformation and better preserving the frames 6. Multiple guide beads 2 are rolled and embedded in the bottom of the grooves of the two guide strips 5 along the inlet and outlet direction of the frame 6. This effectively reduces the friction between the frame 6 and the guide strips 5 during relative movement, saving the labor of workers when replacing the frame 6, and also reduces wear on the frame 6. To facilitate the use of the frame placement cart and forklift, a fork arm sleeve 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cart frame. The fork arm sleeve 3 is used to insert into the forklift fork arm. The insertion direction of the fork arm sleeve 3 is horizontal. This allows the frame placement cart and frame 6 to be moved to the leaf-cutting machine by the forklift. The forklift can also be used to lift the frame placement cart and frame 6 to the installation height on the leaf-cutting machine, effectively reducing labor input. The replacement process of the frame 6 is time-saving and labor-saving, and avoids the safety hazards that occur when workers carry the frame 6 up and down the stairs during the replacement process.

[0031] Specifically, the pallet trolley includes multiple pallet layers, spaced vertically. The forklift's forks extend into the fork arm sleeve 3, lifting the entire pallet trolley to the installation height on the leaf-cutting machine. One empty pallet layer is aligned with the pallet 6. First, a piece of pallet 6 is removed from the leaf-cutting machine and inserted into the unused guide rail 5 of that pallet layer on the pallet trolley. Then, the pallet layer with the new pallet 6 is aligned with the installation height, and the required pallet 6 is manually pulled out along the guide rail 5. With the help of multiple sets of guide balls 2 within the guide rail 5, the pallet 6 can be easily pulled out by one person. Finally, the pallet 6 is fixed in place. Following the above steps, the remaining pallets 6 on the leaf-cutting machine are replaced one by one. For example, the pallet trolley includes 5 pallet layers.

[0032] Optionally, the fixed frame 1 is equipped with multiple recording marks, each corresponding to a different placement layer. The recording marks are used to record the specifications of the frame 6 placed on the corresponding placement layer, preventing workers from confusing different frame 6 and ensuring the correct assembly of the leaf-cutting machine.

[0033] Furthermore, the placement layers are selectively slidably mounted vertically on the fixed frame 1. This allows staff to adjust the height of the placement layers independently based on the current situation, improving the adaptability of the pallet truck and replacing some of the forklift lifting work, enabling more precise docking with the pallet 6. Simultaneously, the placement layers are equipped with limiting devices. Adjacent placement layers selectively abut against these limiting devices, and the height of the limiting devices represents the minimum safe distance between adjacent placement layers, preventing collisions and interference between adjacent placement layers and avoiding pressure on the pallet 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple fork arm sleeves 3 are spaced apart along the insertion direction to accommodate forklifts of different specifications and fork arm lengths. Generally, two rows of fork arm sleeves 3 are arranged side by side, corresponding to the forklift having two parallel forks, making the movement of the forklift more stable when using the forklift lifting frame. For example, two rows of fork arm sleeves 3 are provided at the bottom of the frame, and each row of fork arm sleeves 3 is spaced three segments apart.

[0035] Understandably, the pallet cart also includes wheels 4, with at least three wheels 4 fixed to the bottom of the frame. The wheels 4 allow for easier movement of the pallet cart on the ground. In this embodiment, the four wheels are located at the four corners of the bottom of the frame, allowing workers to quickly push the pallet cart to the leaf-removing machine during use.

[0036] Specifically, a baffle is provided at one end of the guide rail 5. When the lifting and placement layer and the frame rail 6 are installed, the end with the baffle can be lowered slightly. Under the action of gravity, the frame rail 6 abuts against the baffle, which can prevent the frame rail 6 from sliding off the other side of the guide rail 5 and reduce safety hazards.

[0037] In another embodiment, detachable baffles are provided at both ends of the guide bar 5. The frame placement vehicle can connect to the installation position of the frame 6 on the leaf-cutting machine at either end of the guide bar 5. Only the baffle at the connecting end needs to be removed. During the movement of the frame placement vehicle, it is ensured that the baffles at both ends of the guide bar 5 are installed firmly, which can also ensure the stability of the frame 6 on the frame placement vehicle.

[0038] Optionally, a flared opening is provided at one end of the guide bar 5. The flared opening is used to connect with the frame 6, which can make it easier and more convenient for the frame 6 to connect into the guide bar 5.

[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
