Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the aluminum production and distribution process, transportation equipment is a crucial link between production, storage, and sales.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent application CN222271915U proposes an "aluminum material transportation device." This device involves installing a fixing strap on one side of the vehicle compartment, with multiple insertion holes at the free end of the strap, and hooks adapted to these holes on the other side of the compartment. After the aluminum material is loaded, the free end of the fixing strap is stretched, causing the hooks to engage with the insertion holes, thus limiting the strap's position. Because the fixing strap is positioned close to the outermost layer of the aluminum material, it applies compressive force to the aluminum material within the compartment, thus limiting its movement and preventing damage to the aluminum strips caused by road bumps or external collisions during transport.

[0004] However, in actual use, the aforementioned disclosed device and similar existing devices cannot flexibly adjust the clamping position according to the placement height, tilt angle, and other scenario requirements of the aluminum material due to the fixed installation position of the clamping component. This requires manual assistance to adjust the position of the aluminum material or device, which increases the complexity of operation and labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum material transport device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An aluminum material transport device, comprising:

[0008] Transport frame, used for moving on a level surface;

[0009] A steering component, installed inside one side of the transport frame, is used to allow the clamping component to adjust the Z-axis direction of its clamping operation according to the needs of the scenario.

[0010] The clamping component, assembled inside the steering component, is used to stably clamp the aluminum material;

[0011] The clamping component includes:

[0012] The assembly plate has a traction structure installed at the midpoint inside. There are movable notches at both ends inside. The two ends of the traction structure are equipped with clamping arms that pass through the movable notches. The two clamping arms are located at the bottom of the assembly plate. As the traction structure moves, the two clamping arms move towards each other.

[0013] The steering component includes:

[0014] An electric damping rod is hinged at one end to one end of the inner wall of the transport frame, and movably connected at the other end to one side of the assembly plate;

[0015] A steering track plate is installed on the outer wall of one side of the transport frame, and an assembly column is installed between one end of the steering track plate and the assembly plate.

[0016] Furthermore, with the extension and retraction of the electric damping rod, the assembly column slides along the arc-shaped track opened on the steering track plate, driving the assembly plate to rotate around its hinge end with the transport frame, and causing the clamping components to adjust their clamping position in the Z-axis direction to meet the clamping requirements of aluminum materials at different heights or angles.

[0017] Furthermore, the traction structure includes:

[0018] The adjustment disc is rotatably connected to the center position of the top surface of the assembly plate;

[0019] The steering motor is embedded in the center of the assembly plate, and the shaft of the steering motor is fixed to the center point of the bottom of the adjustment plate;

[0020] At the end, there are drive arms, one end of each of the two drive arms is hinged to the edge of the top of the adjustment disc, and the bottom of the other end is fixed to the top of the clamping arm.

[0021] Furthermore, a movable joint is hinged between one end of the electric damping rod and the inner wall of the transport frame, and a spherical joint is hinged between the other end of the electric damping rod and one side of the assembly plate.

[0022] Furthermore, a track notch is formed inside the steering track plate, and the track notch is adapted to the assembly column.

[0023] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fitted between one end of the steering track plate and the outer wall of the transport frame. One end of the connecting rod is fixed to the steering track plate by full welding, and the other end is fixed to the outer wall of the transport frame by inserting self-tapping bolts, which is used to support the steering track plate to maintain a perpendicular installation state to the outer wall of the transport frame.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] This aluminum material transport device uses the extension and retraction of the electric damping rod of the steering component in conjunction with the arc-shaped track constraint of the steering track plate to drive the assembly plate to rotate around the hinge end with the transport frame, so that the clamping component can flexibly adjust the clamping angle in the Z-axis direction according to the needs of the scenario, and meet the requirements for picking up and putting down aluminum materials of different heights from low to high.

[0026] In addition, the clamping component drives the adjustment plate to rotate via the steering motor, which in turn drives the two drive arms to pull the clamping arms to move towards each other along the movable notch of the assembly plate. The synchronous contraction of the clamping arms achieves uniform force clamping of the aluminum material, avoiding deformation or slippage of the aluminum material caused by single-point force.

[0027] Meanwhile, the movable knot and spherical knot design at both ends of the electric damping rod ensures flexibility and stability during the steering process. The steering track plate is vertically fixed to the outer wall of the transport frame through the connecting rod, which further strengthens the support strength of the steering track and ensures the smoothness of the assembly column when sliding along the track.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Before understanding the technical solution proposed in this application, it is important to understand that the application scenarios of this technical solution are specifically for occasions such as construction sites, aluminum processing plants, and warehouses where aluminum materials of different specifications (such as round aluminum tubes and square aluminum profiles) and different placement states (such as stacked on the ground, layered on shelves, or leaning against the wall) need to be moved. It is especially suitable for scenarios where the clamping position and angle need to be frequently adjusted to improve the handling efficiency, such as moving aluminum profiles from the production line to the warehouse in an aluminum processing plant, or moving aluminum tubes from the ground to the scaffolding on a construction site.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this solution includes: a transport frame 1, which is used to move on a horizontal ground and achieves stable transport through the universal wheels at the bottom; a steering component 2, which is installed inside one side of the transport frame 1, and is used to enable the clamping component 3 to accurately adjust the Z-axis direction of its clamping operation according to the needs of the scenario; the clamping component 3 is assembled inside the steering component 2 and is used to stably clamp the aluminum material.

[0035] It should be noted that in this technical solution, the clamping component 3 includes: an assembly plate 301, a traction structure installed at the midpoint of the interior, movable notches 307 respectively opened at both ends of the interior, clamping arms 303 installed at the two ends of the traction structure passing through the movable notches 307, the two clamping arms 303 are set at the bottom of the assembly plate 301, and as the traction structure runs, the two clamping arms 303 move towards each other to achieve the clamping of the aluminum material.

[0036] It is worth noting that in this technical solution, the steering component 2 includes: an electric damping rod 203, one end of which is hinged to one end of the inner wall of the transport frame 1, and the other end is movably connected to one side of the assembly plate 301; a steering track plate 205, which is installed on the outer wall of one side of the transport frame 1, and an assembly column 304 is installed between one end of the steering track plate 205 and the assembly plate 301. With the extension and retraction of the electric damping rod 203, the assembly column 304 slides along the arc-shaped track opened in the steering track plate 205, driving the assembly plate 301 to rotate around its hinged end with the transport frame 1, and driving the clamping component 3 to adjust the clamping position in the Z-axis direction to meet the clamping requirements of aluminum materials at different heights or angles, thereby improving operating efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that the traction structure in this technical solution includes: an adjustment disc 305, rotatably connected to the center of the top surface of the assembly plate 301; and a steering motor 302, embedded in the center of the assembly plate 301, with the shaft of the steering motor 302 fixed to the center point of the bottom of the adjustment disc 305. The end of the steering motor 302 is a drive arm 306, with one end of each drive arm 306 hinged to the edge of the top of the adjustment disc 305, and the bottom of the other end fixed to the top of the clamping arm 303. When the steering motor 302 drives the adjustment disc 305 to rotate, the drive arm 306 drives the clamping arm 303 to move synchronously.

[0038] As a supplement to the above technical solution, a movable joint 201 is hinged between one end of the electric damping rod 203 and the inner wall of the transport frame 1, and a spherical joint 204 is hinged between the other end of the electric damping rod 203 and one side of the mounting plate 301. The spherical joint 204 allows the electric damping rod 203 and the mounting plate 301 to rotate at multiple angles. A track notch is formed inside the steering track plate 205, which is adapted to the mounting column 304 to ensure that the mounting column 304 slides smoothly in the track. In addition, a connecting rod 202 is installed between one end of the steering track plate 205 and the outer wall of the transport frame 1. One end of the connecting rod 202 is fixed to the steering track plate 205 by full welding, and the other end is fixed to the outer wall of the transport frame 1 by through-hole self-tapping bolts. This is used to support the steering track plate 205 to maintain a perpendicular installation state to the outer wall of the transport frame 1, providing solid support.

[0039] In practical use, this technical solution first moves the transport frame 1 to the side of the aluminum material to be transported via the bottom casters. The stopping angle of the transport frame 1 is adjusted according to the placement of the aluminum material (e.g., stacking height, tilt angle) to ensure that the clamping arm 303 of the clamping component 3 is roughly aligned with the center of gravity of the aluminum material, ensuring clamping stability. Then, the electric damping rod 203 (external controller, not shown in the attached diagram) is activated, and its piston rod slowly extends or retracts, causing one side of the assembly plate 301 to move along the arc-shaped track of the steering track plate 205. At this time, the assembly column 304 slides smoothly along the track notch inside the steering track plate 205, and the assembly plate 301 slowly rotates around its hinge end with the transport frame 1 (the hinge axis not clearly marked in the attached diagram), aided by the spherical joint 204. With its multi-angle rotation characteristics, the electric damping rod 203 can adapt to the rotation angle of the mounting plate 301 (e.g., when the mounting plate 301 is tilted upwards, the spherical knot 204 allows the electric damping rod 203 to form a certain angle with the mounting plate 301) until the clamping arm 303 reaches the Z-axis height matching the aluminum material (e.g., for aluminum materials in lower positions, the angle of the mounting plate 301 needs to be lowered, and for aluminum materials in higher positions, the angle of the mounting plate 301 needs to be raised) or the tilt angle (e.g., when the aluminum material is placed at an angle, the rotation of the mounting plate 301 keeps the clamping arm 303 parallel to the surface of the aluminum material); then the steering motor 302 (external controller, not shown in the attached figure) is started, and its shaft drives the adjusting plate 305 to rotate clockwise, and the two drive arms 306 symmetrically hinged at the top edge of the adjusting plate 305 rotate synchronously. Pull the clamping arm 303 to move towards the movable notch 307 at the bottom of the assembly plate 301 (the movable notch 307 limits the movement trajectory of the clamping arm 303 to prevent deviation). As the drive arm 306 gradually retracts, the anti-slip rubber pad on the inner side of the clamping arm 303 (added according to the aluminum material, not mentioned in the figure but a standard supplement) adheres to the surface of the aluminum material and generates a continuous clamping force. When the friction between the clamping arm 303 and the aluminum material is sufficient to support the weight of the aluminum material (e.g., by detecting the clamping force through a sensor or by manually observing that the aluminum material has no downward trend), turn off the steering motor 302. At this time, the damping effect of the electric damping rod 203 (the resistance of the internal hydraulic oil) can maintain the current position of the assembly plate 301 and the clamping component 3, avoiding vibration caused by the movement of the transport frame 1. The clamping mechanism loosens; then the transport frame 1 is pushed to move along the horizontal ground. The silent rolling characteristics of the casters ensure a smooth transport process (especially suitable for the environment around high-precision equipment in the workshop). If the transport direction of the aluminum material needs to be adjusted, the 360° turning function of the casters can be used to flexibly change the travel path of the transport frame 1 without additional handling. After reaching the target position (such as next to a machine tool or storage shelf), the steering motor 302 is started in the opposite direction, causing the adjustment plate 305 to rotate counterclockwise. The drive arm 306 pushes the clamping arm 303 to move in the opposite direction along the movable notch 307, releasing the clamping of the aluminum material. The aluminum material is slowly placed in the target position under the action of gravity (if precise positioning is required, the angle of the assembly plate 301 can be finely adjusted by the electric damping rod 203 to make the aluminum material fall accurately into the designated work position).Finally, if the next transport is required, the position of the clamping component 3 can be quickly adjusted using the electric damping rod 203 (e.g., switching from a low position to a high position), or the transport frame 1 can be pushed to the next transport point. The entire process eliminates the need for manual handling of aluminum materials, significantly reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving transport efficiency.
