Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transportation technology, specifically a material transport trolley. Background Technology
[0002] Material handling trolleys are widely used in material transfer scenarios in machining, chemical and other fields, and are especially suitable for transporting metal scraps, powders or granular materials. Traditional material handling trolleys typically consist of a frame, a material box, and wheels. The material box is usually rectangular with a horizontal or slightly tilted bottom. These trolleys have a significant drawback in unloading efficiency: the horizontally bottomed material box requires manual shoveling to completely remove the material, or unloading can be achieved by tilting the vehicle body. The former is labor-intensive and time-consuming, while the latter is prone to material splashing and requires high vehicle body stability.
[0003] Therefore, a new type of material handling trolley is needed to improve loading and unloading efficiency and reduce labor intensity. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a material transport trolley that solves the problems of low unloading efficiency, cumbersome operation, and poor stability of traditional material transport trolleys.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] 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.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a material transport trolley includes a trolley 3, with a material box 1 at its upper end. The material box 1 includes a box body 101 that is open at both the upper and front ends. The bottom surface of the box body 101 is inclined, with the rear end higher than the front end. The box body 101 is fixed to the trolley 3. A rotatable front baffle 103 is connected to the front end of the box body 101. Side baffles 102 that are tightly attached to the outside of the box body 101 are connected to both ends of the front baffle 103. The inclination angle of the front baffle 103 after it is opened is not less than the angle of the bottom surface of the box body 101. Figure 2 As shown, when the front baffle 103 is opened, the bottom surface of the container 101 and the front baffle 103 can be joined to form a long inclined plane, allowing metal scraps, powders, or granular materials inside the container 101 to automatically slide out. Manual unloading is then facilitated by using a shovel or similar tool. When the front baffle 103 is closed, a locking device 2 is provided on the side baffle 102. This locking device 2 works with the trolley to secure the side baffle 102, ensuring the front baffle 103 remains firmly in place when closed.
[0026] The trolley 3 includes a frame 302 that supports the box 101. The frame 302 is a rectangular frame structure. The front end of the frame 302 is connected to a rectangular support frame 304 that supports the front baffle 103. The support frame is inclined. The frame 302 and the support frame are welded and fixed together. Both the bottom of the frame 302 and the support frame 304 are equipped with wheels 303. The rear end of the frame 302 is connected to a handlebar 305.
[0027] The upper end of the support frame 304 is provided with a shock-absorbing block 301. The shock-absorbing block 301 is made of hemispherical rubber material. When the front baffle 103 is opened and falls on the support frame 304, the shock-absorbing block 301 can provide support and buffer for the front baffle 103, reducing opening noise and damage.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the frame 302 is connected to the bottom of the box 101 via a support rod 307, and a reinforcing rod 306 is connected between the rear end of the frame 302 and the box 101.
[0029] To facilitate the opening and closing of the front baffle 103, a handle 104 is connected to the side wall of the side baffle 102. The handle 104 and the lock 2 are located on the same side of the housing 101.
[0030] The front baffle 103 is connected to the bottom of the box 101 by a pivot or hinge. The side baffle 102 has a fan-shaped structure with an angle greater than 90° and less than 150°, ensuring that even when the front baffle 103 is fully opened, the side baffle 102 still has contact with the side wall of the box 101, preventing materials from sliding out from one side.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the locking component 2 includes a stop bar 207 that penetrates the side baffle 102. One end of the stop bar 207 is provided with a push block 202, and the other end of the stop bar 207 is fitted with a limit ring 206. The push block 202 and the limit ring 206 are located on both sides of the side baffle 102, respectively. The distance between the push block 202 and the limit ring 206 is greater than the thickness of the side baffle 102. A limit plate 205 is connected to the outer side of the side baffle 102. A guide post 204 that penetrates the limit plate 205 is connected to the side wall of the push block 202. A connecting push block 202 and limit plate 205 is fitted on the outer side of the guide post 204. The spring 203 pushes the stop lever 207 toward the frame 302. The upper end of the push block 202 is connected to a pull ring 201. The pull ring 201 can pull the stop lever 207 to open. The end of the stop lever 207 is an inclined surface. When the front baffle 103 is closed, it can automatically push the stop lever 207 to slide backward. After the front baffle 103 is closed, the stop lever 207 is just against the bottom surface of the frame 302. The frame 302 blocks the stop lever 207 to prevent the side baffle 102 from sliding, thereby fixing the side baffle 102 and the front baffle 103.
[0032] When the front baffle needs to be opened, the push block 202 is pulled outward by the pull ring 201 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 203, so that the end of the lever 207 retracts and disengages from the bottom of the frame 302, thereby releasing the lock on the side baffle 102 and the front baffle 103.
[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
