Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular to a material transport device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the production, processing, and transportation of thin sheet materials such as aluminum plates and metal sheets typically require specialized material handling equipment to lift, move, and precisely position the materials. Traditional handling equipment (such as forklifts and hydraulic lifting platforms) either lacks sufficient positioning accuracy, relying on the movement of the entire vehicle for horizontal adjustment, making it difficult to achieve millimeter-level fine adjustments and easily leading to material collisions or damage; or it has low space utilization, requiring hydraulic lifting platforms to reserve a large working space, while aluminum plate storage requires equipment capable of operating in narrow aisles, which traditional equipment cannot meet.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a material transport device to overcome the defects mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material transport device that integrates lifting and horizontal telescopic functions, has a compact structure, and can adapt to the handling of various materials such as aluminum plates, thereby improving the problems of low positioning accuracy, poor operational flexibility, and easy damage to materials in existing transport devices.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a material conveying device is provided, comprising a bottom support assembly, a longitudinal support assembly fixed above the support assembly, a lifting assembly connected to the longitudinal support assembly, a buffer assembly connected to the lifting assembly, a translation assembly connected to the lifting assembly, and a conveying assembly placed above the translation assembly. The conveying assembly achieves vertical movement through the lifting assembly and horizontal movement through the translation assembly. The longitudinal support assembly includes a first guide rail arranged along the vertical direction.

[0006] The lifting assembly includes a first lifting part, a first lifting control part, a second lifting part, and a second lifting control part. The first lifting part is slidably connected to a first guide rail, and the first lifting control part is connected to the first lifting part to drive the first lifting part to slide in the vertical direction. The second lifting part is located above the first lifting part and is slidably connected to the first guide rail. The second lifting control part is connected to the second lifting part to drive the second lifting part to slide.

[0007] The translation component includes a first translation part, a first translation control part, a second translation part, a second translation control part, and a third translation control part. The first translation part is positioned above the first lifting part, and the first translation control part is connected to the first translation part to drive the first translation part to move in the front-back direction. The second translation part is positioned above the second lifting part, and the second translation control part is connected to the second translation part to drive the second translation part to move in the front-back direction.
