Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unloading platforms, and in particular to a material handling flap for unloading platforms. Background Technology

[0002] Unloading platforms are various temporary work platforms and frames commonly erected on construction sites, generally used for material handling. Unloading platforms are generally divided into ground-mounted unloading platforms, cantilevered unloading platforms, and other types.

[0003] Traditional unloading platforms lack ramp transitions, requiring materials to be lifted and moved entirely manually during loading and unloading. For heavy materials, it is difficult for a single person to operate, often requiring multiple people to work together, which not only increases manpower input but also easily leads to operator fatigue and increased physical exertion. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a material handling flap for an unloading platform to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The unloading platform includes a material handling flap, comprising a base plate connected to a support frame, side plates connected to the base plate, a back plate connected to the base plate, a baffle hinged to the back plate, a limit assembly connected to the baffle, the limit assembly including a limit rod, a sliding groove on the baffle, the limit rod slidably connected to the sliding groove, a spring connected to the limit rod, the other end of the spring connected to the side wall of the sliding groove, a limit groove on the side plate, the limit rod and the limit groove cooperating with each other, an operating rod connected to the limit rod, an operating groove on the baffle, the operating rod slidably connected to the operating groove, a connecting plate connected to the base plate, and a flap hinged to the connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the side plate, back plate, and baffle are each connected with reinforcing square steel.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame is connected to a lifting ring.

[0009] Preferably, the base plate is provided with anti-slip strips, which are parallel to each other and spaced apart.

[0010] Preferably, the flap is connected to a buffer block, which is made of an elastic material.

[0011] Preferably, reinforcing ribs are welded at the connection points between the base plate and the support frame, the base plate and the side plate, and the base plate and the back plate, and the reinforcing ribs are triangular in structure.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0013] (1) This solution uses a connecting plate and a flap, which are hinged together. The flap can be lowered to form a ramp, creating a natural transition and avoiding frequent manual lifting and handling. This significantly reduces labor intensity, especially for heavy materials or bulk goods, and can significantly improve unloading efficiency and shorten operation time. The ramp formed by the flap can directly connect with handcarts and other transport vehicles to achieve a smooth transition of materials, reduce multiple transfers during loading and unloading, make transportation connections smoother, effectively shorten the overall transportation cycle, and improve logistics turnover efficiency.

[0014] (2) By setting up reinforcing square steel and triangular reinforcing ribs at the connection between the base plate and each component, the overall structural strength and rigidity of the device are enhanced, which can effectively distribute the load, improve the load-bearing capacity of the device, and ensure that it is not easily deformed or damaged during transportation and unloading, thus meeting the needs of heavy cargo transportation. By setting up limit components, the sliding cooperation between the operating rod and the operating groove, combined with the elastic effect of the spring, makes the opening and closing of the baffle simple and effortless, and ensures that the baffle and the side plate are firmly closed, which can prevent materials from falling, ensure operational safety, and reduce material loss.

[0015] (3) By setting up lifting rings, steel wire ropes and other connecting parts can be used to fix the lifting rings to the fixed facilities of the work site during the operation. This can effectively prevent the device from shaking or tipping over due to the shift of the center of gravity when carrying heavy objects, being hit by external forces, or unloading materials, significantly improving the stability and safety of the device, ensuring the smooth progress of the operation, and reducing the risk of material falling and equipment damage caused by device displacement.

[0016] (4) By setting parallel anti-slip strips, the friction between the material and the bottom plate is increased, allowing the device to more stably bear different types of materials, thus improving the overall stability and practicality of the device.

[0017] (5) By setting up elastic material buffer blocks, when the flap is lowered and contacts the ground, the rigid impact can be transformed into elastic contact, absorbing the impact force generated by the collision through its own deformation. This not only reduces the vibration when the flap contacts the ground, preventing structural loosening or component damage due to long-term collisions, but also reduces the stress at the connection between the flap and the connecting plate, reducing the wear on this part. At the same time, the elasticity of the buffer blocks also makes the lowering process of the flap smoother, thereby extending the overall service life of the device and reducing the number of maintenance times and costs.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0024] like Figure 1-4 The unloading platform shown includes a material handling flap, which includes a base plate 3. A support frame 1 is connected to the outer wall of the base plate 3. Side plates 4 are connected to the top two ends of the base plate 3. A back plate 8 is connected to the top of the base plate 3. The two ends of the back plate 8 are connected to the side plates 4. The three form a three-sided enclosure structure to block materials from the sides and rear, preventing materials from falling off the edges during transportation. A baffle 7 is hinged to the top of the back plate 8. The baffle 7 can rotate around the hinge to open and close. When the baffle 7 is closed, it can block materials from the front to form a closed transportation space; when it is open, it facilitates the loading and unloading of materials. The baffle 7 is connected to a limiting assembly, which includes a limiting rod 11. Slide grooves 14 are respectively opened at both ends of the top of the baffle 7. Two limiting rods 11 are provided, each slidably connected to its corresponding slide groove 14. Springs 15 are connected to each of the two limiting rods 11, with the other ends of the springs 15 connected to the side walls of their respective slide grooves 14. Limiting grooves 12 are respectively opened on the two side plates 4, with each limiting rod 11 engaging with its corresponding limiting groove 12. Operating rods 10 are respectively connected to each of the two limiting rods 11. Operating grooves 13 are respectively opened at both ends of the top of the baffle 7, with each operating rod 10 slidably connected to its corresponding operating groove 13. When the baffle 7 needs to be opened, the operator pulls the operating rod 10, causing the limiting rod 11 to compress the springs 15 and exit the limiting groove 12. The sliding engagement of the operating rod 10 and the operating groove 13 ensures smooth operation, making the entire process simple and effortless. A connecting plate 9 is connected to the side of the base plate 3 away from the back plate 8, and the connecting plate 9 is hinged to a flap 2. The flap 2 can rotate downward to form a ramp, which facilitates the material to slide down by gravity and achieves efficient unloading.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the side plate 4, back plate 8, and baffle 7 are each connected to several reinforcing square steel bars 5. These reinforcing square steel bars 5 are distributed along the length and width of the components, significantly improving the deformation resistance of the baffle 7, side plate 4, and back plate 8, making them less prone to damage when subjected to material compression. Multiple lifting rings 6 are connected to both ends of the support frame 1, facilitating the installation of the entire device in the desired position. Multiple anti-slip strips are provided on the upper surface of the base plate 3. Each anti-slip strip is parallel to each other and spaced apart, increasing the friction between the material and the base plate 3, preventing material slippage, and ensuring the stability of the material placement. A buffer block is connected to the bottom of the flip plate 2 at the end away from the connecting plate 9. The buffer block is made of elastic material and can buffer the impact force when the flip plate 2 is lowered and contacts the ground, reducing wear between the flip plate 2 and the ground, while also preventing the device from shaking due to impact. Reinforcing ribs are welded at the connection points of the base plate 3 and the support frame 1, the connection points of the base plate 3 and the side plate 4, and the connection points of the base plate 3 and the back plate 8. The reinforcing ribs are triangular in structure, which utilizes the stability of the triangle to distribute the load, enhance the connection strength, and avoid structural deformation caused by long-term load.

[0026] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0027] In use, install the device in the desired location and place the material to be transported onto the base plate 3 through the opening of the baffle 7. The parallel anti-slip strips on the surface of the base plate 3 increase the friction between the material and the base plate 3, preventing the material from sliding during placement and ensuring that the material is stably stacked within the space formed by the three enclosures (side plate 4, back plate 8, and the closed baffle 7). After loading is complete, flip the baffle 7 and simultaneously pull the operating lever 10 to retract it into the baffle 7. When the baffle 7 contacts the side plate 4, release the operating lever 10. The limiting lever 11 slides along the slide groove 14 under the elastic force of the spring 15 and re-engages into the limiting groove 12 of the side plate 4, achieving a stable closure of the baffle 7 and forming a closed transport space to prevent the material from falling from the front during transport.

[0028] During unloading, rotate the flap 2 so that it rotates downwards around the hinge of the connecting plate 9. The end of the flap 2 away from the connecting plate 9 contacts the ground, forming a ramp. The elastic buffer block at the bottom of the flap 2 cushions the impact force when it contacts the ground, reducing wear between the flap 2 and the ground, and preventing the device from shaking due to impact. At this time, the material can be unloaded through the flap 2, avoiding frequent manual lifting for unloading.

[0029] After unloading, rotate the flap 2 upwards so that it re-fits the base plate 3 and returns to its initial retracted state.

[0030] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
