Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator manufacturing equipment technology, specifically a refrigerator shell transport device. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of society and economy, in order to preserve food and other items and maintain a constant temperature, refrigerators are used to maintain a constant low temperature. When manufacturing refrigerators, their outer shell is relatively large in size and mass, requiring more care during transportation to prevent them from tipping over and being damaged.
[0003] For example, CN219215895U discloses a "Refrigerator Shell Transport Device". This device includes a conveyor frame, with a hydraulic rod fixedly connected to one end of the bottom cavity of the conveyor frame. A support block is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod via screws. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one end of the conveyor frame. A fixed track is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod through the conveyor frame. A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the fixed track, and a limit block is threaded onto the lead screw. By using the hydraulic rod to move the support block, the support block is supported at the bottom of the refrigerator. Then, the fixed track is moved downwards by the electric telescopic rod. Turning on the motor at one end of the lead screw moves the limit block threaded onto the lead screw, clamping the limit block onto the refrigerator shell and keeping the refrigerator in a centered position, preventing the refrigerator from swaying to either end, colliding, and being damaged.
[0004] While the aforementioned refrigerator shell transport device has certain advantages, it also has some drawbacks: when using the aforementioned transport device to transport the refrigerator shell, if the fixing device is damaged during the transportation process and cannot effectively secure the refrigerator shell, the refrigerator shell is prone to collisions during transportation. It is also difficult to quickly detect whether the fixing device is properly securing the refrigerator shell, and it is impossible to quickly judge and adjust for accidents, making it inconvenient to use.

The fixing device 3 includes a fixing block 31, a connecting block 32, an infrared ranging sensor 33, a support plate 34, a round rod 35, a limiting groove 36, a control mechanism 37, a movable groove 38, and a controller 39. The fixing block 31 penetrates the interior of the movable groove 38, which is located at the top of the base 1. The connecting block 32 is fixed to the outside of the fixing block 31. The infrared ranging sensor 33 is installed on the outside of the connecting block 32. The support plate 34 is fixed inside the base 1. The round rod 35 is fixed to the outside of the fixing block 31, and the outside of the round rod 35 is disposed at... Inside the limiting groove 36, the limiting groove 36 is opened on the outside of the support plate 34. The controller 39 is set inside the base 1. The control mechanism 37 is set inside the base 1. The control mechanism 37 is used to control the movement of the fixing block 31. The outside of the fixing block 31 is provided with a rubber pad. This setting protects the housing 2 when the fixing block 31 clamps and fixes the housing 2. The fixing device 3 is provided with four sets, and two non-adjacent sets are symmetrically arranged with the center of the base 1 as the symmetrical point. This setting can better fix the housing 2. The inner wall of the limiting groove 36 is smooth and is slidably connected to the outside of the round rod 35. This setting facilitates the movement of the round rod 35.

[0025] The infrared ranging sensor 33 uses a Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F infrared ranging sensor. This sensor can quickly measure the distance to the housing 2. If the distance to the housing 2 changes during transportation, it can issue a timely warning, indicating that the fixing of the refrigerator housing 2 has become loose.
[0026] Please see Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution for a refrigerator shell transportation device: a refrigerator shell transportation device, the control mechanism 37 includes a support block 371, a movable block 372 and an electric push rod 373. The support block 371 is fixed inside the base 1, the movable block 372 is disposed outside the fixed block 31, and the outer side of the movable block 372 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 373. The electric push rod 373 is installed on the outer side of the support block 371. The top of the movable block 372 is provided with a notch and is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed block 31. Through this arrangement, when the round rod 35 moves along the limiting groove 36, it can drive the fixed block 31 into the movable block 372.
[0027] The working principle is as follows:
[0028] First, before use, bring the refrigerator shell 2 to be transported to the base 1 and wait for it to be secured.

[0030] Third, when the fixed block 31 moves, it drives the round rod 35 to move. When the round rod 35 moves, it moves along the limiting groove 36, causing the round rod 35 to drive the fixed block 31 to move downward. When the fixed block 31 moves downward, it drives the infrared ranging sensor 33 to move into the base 1 through the connecting block 32.
[0031] Fourth, the housing 2 can then be placed in the center of the base 1, and the electric push rod 373 can be started. The electric push rod 373 pushes the movable block 372 to move. When the movable block 372 moves, it drives the fixed block 31 to clamp and fix the housing 2. When the fixed block 31 is fixed to the housing 2, it has moved to the top of the base 1, and then it can be transported. During the transportation process, the position of the housing 2 is detected by the infrared distance sensor 33. If there is a change, the information can be fed back to the controller 39, which can quickly determine whether the fixation is stable.
