This has problems such as cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and prominent safety hazards. In particular, there is a lack of lightweight equipment to flexibly adjust the height of the cargo to adapt to height-restricted passages. At the same time, it is difficult to balance the convenience and stability of short, medium and long-distance transfers, and the ability to control the risk of tipping over high-center-of-gravity cargo is insufficient.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this disclosure and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The inventors discovered through research that traditional methods rely on manual labor or large cranes to flip and transfer heavy goods, which is cumbersome to operate, inefficient, and difficult to adapt to height-restricted passages.

[0005] In view of at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides an automatic tilting and lifting machine device, which is powered by electricity. Workers operate the tilting mechanism and wheels through a control module to achieve the tilting and transfer of goods. Specifically, a lead screw motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the lead screw slider to move horizontally on the lead screw. Combined with the L-shaped tilting structure consisting of the vehicle body, tilting plate, and adjustable-width forks, the device, under the action of support rods, enables the goods to be tilted at any angle from 0° to 90°. The device is also equipped with a buffer and a protective net, enabling it to safely complete the integrated operation of tilting and transfer.

[0006] According to one aspect of this disclosure, an automatic tilting and erecting machine device is provided, including a vehicle body, a tilting mechanism for tilting goods on the vehicle body, an adjustable carrier on the tilting mechanism, wheels at the bottom of the vehicle body, the tilting mechanism and the wheels being driven by a drive assembly mounted on the vehicle body, and a buffer and a protective net for protecting the goods on the vehicle body, with a control module mounted on the protective net.

[0007] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the flipping mechanism includes a lead screw, a flap, and a support rod. The lead screw is fixed relative to the vehicle body and is threadedly connected to a lead screw slider. The bottom of the flap is hinged to the lead screw slider. One end of the support rod is hinged to the vehicle body and the other end is hinged to the flap. The flipping mechanism also includes a lead screw motor for driving the lead screw to move the lead screw slider along the lead screw.

[0008] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the carrier includes forks that engage with the flap and are used to limit the cargo to be transferred.

[0009] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the buffer is fixedly disposed at a corresponding position on the vehicle body and the buffering direction matches the rotation direction of the flap; the protective net is disposed on the side of the vehicle body.

[0010] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the rotating shaft of the lead screw motor is connected to the lead screw via a synchronous belt.

[0011] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the wheel includes a directional front wheel disposed on the front side of the vehicle body and a drive wheel disposed on the rear side of the vehicle body.

[0012] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the drive assembly includes a power supply that is electrically connected to the lead screw motor and the drive wheel and controlled by a control module.

[0013] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the control module includes a charging circuit electrically connected to the power supply and a control circuit connected in parallel with the charging circuit; a charging connector for connecting to mains power is connected in series in the charging circuit.

[0014] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the control circuit includes a motor controller and a control button electrically connected to the motor controller. The control button is used to control the start, stop, and rotation direction of the lead screw motor and the drive wheel.

[0015] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the control circuit is further provided with a limit switch that is electrically connected to the motor controller and is used to control the lead screw motor to stop after the flip plate is flipped into place; the limit switch is fixed on the vehicle body and is located at the position where it interferes with the flip plate when it is fully lowered.

[0016] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least one of the following technical effects or advantages:

[0017] 1. By utilizing a lead screw motor, tilting mechanism, and wheels, the entire process of cargo tilting and transfer is automated, replacing traditional manual labor or large crane operations. This significantly reduces manpower requirements while improving work efficiency. Controlling the device via a control module on the safety net further simplifies the process and reduces the risk of human error.

[0018] 2. By setting up buffers and protective nets, the cargo is prevented from tipping over due to inertial impact, ensuring the stability of the cargo and the equipment; in addition, the L-shaped tipping structure composed of the vehicle body, tipping plate and forks, combined with straps to fix the cargo, prevents the cargo from slipping or tipping over during the transfer.

[0019] 3. By setting adjustable-width forks, it is compatible with goods of different sizes, improving versatility; by setting a power-driven tilting mechanism, it can achieve any angle of tilting from 0° to 90°, and can flexibly adjust the tilting angle according to the height restriction requirements of doorways or passages, breaking through the limitations of traditional equipment that cannot adapt to low spaces.

[0020] 4. By adopting a 12V power supply, energy consumption is reduced, and the safety hazards of high-voltage electricity are minimized, making it suitable for use in enclosed environments such as warehouses and factories. Its compact structure and lightweight design combining the vehicle body and tipper facilitate movement and operation in confined spaces, eliminating the need for large equipment. It also supports short, medium, and long-distance transport, covering the entire process, reducing equipment changeover costs, and improving operational continuity. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This application provides an automatic tilting and lifting machine device, which solves the problems of traditional methods that rely on manual labor or large cranes to tilt and transfer heavy goods, resulting in cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and difficulty in adapting to height-restricted passages.

[0028] The technical solution in this application is to solve the above problems, and the overall approach is as follows:

[0029] Through mechatronics design, the tilting mechanism driven by power supply 15 enables the controlled tilting of goods. Combined with the adjustable L-shaped tilting structure consisting of vehicle body 1, tilting plate 7 and fork 10, it can adapt to goods 2 of different sizes. At the same time, the wheels driven by power supply 15 are used for transportation, and the safe transfer is completed under the joint action of buffer 3 and protective net 4.

[0030] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] This example discloses an automatic reversing and erecting machine device, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the device includes a vehicle body 1, which provides mounting positions for various components. The vehicle body 1 is equipped with a flipping mechanism for flipping cargo 2, reducing manual labor by flipping the cargo 2. The flipping mechanism has an adjustable carrier, which can be adjusted according to the size of the cargo 2, making the device suitable for cargo 2 of different sizes and improving its applicability. Wheels are provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 1, facilitating the transfer of cargo 2 and improving operational efficiency. Both the flipping mechanism and the wheels are driven by a drive assembly mounted on the vehicle body, automating the entire process of flipping and transferring cargo 2. The vehicle body 1 also includes a buffer 3 and a protective net 4 to protect the cargo, ensuring safety during flipping and transfer. The protective net 4 has a control module for convenient manual operation and simplified procedures.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the flipping mechanism includes a lead screw 6, a flip plate 7, and a support rod 8. The lead screw 6 is fixed relative to the vehicle body 1 and has a corresponding threaded screw slider 9. The screw slider 9 moves along the lead screw 6 by rotating the lead screw 6. The bottom of the flip plate 7 is hinged to the screw slider 9. One end of the support rod 8 is hinged to the vehicle body 1, and the other end is hinged to the flip plate 7. Preferably, two lead screws 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 1, and are respectively hinged to the bottom sides of the flip plate 7. In addition, two support rods 8 are symmetrically connected between the vehicle body 1 and the flip plate 7, and the support rods 8 play a role in limiting and supporting the flip plate 7. The flipping mechanism also includes a lead screw motor 11 for driving the lead screw 6 to move the screw slider 9 along the lead screw 6. Preferably, the rotating shaft of the lead screw motor 11 is connected to the two lead screws 6 by a synchronous belt, which is simple and compact in structure.

[0034] Specifically, one end of the support rod 8 is set at the same level as the lead screw slider 9 on the vehicle body 1. Driven by the lead screw motor 11, the lead screw slider 9 moves horizontally back and forth on the lead screw 6 through the rotation of the lead screw 6. The flip plate 7 uses the lead screw slider 9 as the fulcrum and drives the cargo 2 to flip 90 degrees under the action of the support rod 8. The tilting angle of the flip plate 7 can be controlled according to the requirements.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the carrier includes forks 10 that engage with the flap 7 and are used to limit the movement of the goods 2 to be transferred. Preferably, the flap 7 is made of welded metal square tubing, and the forks 10 are hung on the crossbeam of the flap 7 and can be adjusted according to the width of the goods 2.

[0036] Specifically, the vehicle body 1, the flip plate 7, and the forks 10 form an L-shaped flipping structure. A strap can also be added to the waist of the cargo 2 and tied to the flip plate 7 to ensure that the cargo 2, the flip plate 7, and the forks 10 are tightly connected, thereby preventing the cargo 2 from tilting or slipping when flipping and improving the stability of the cargo 2 when flipping.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the buffer 3 is fixedly installed at the corresponding position on the vehicle body 1, and the buffering direction matches the rotation direction of the flip plate 7; preferably, two buffers 3 are symmetrically provided on the vehicle body 1 to ensure the smooth tilting of the flip plate 7 and the cargo 2. The protective net 4 is correspondingly installed on the adjacent sides of the vehicle body 1 to prevent the cargo 2 from bumping or rubbing against the outside.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the wheel includes a directional front wheel 13 disposed on the front side of the vehicle body and a drive wheel 14 disposed on the rear side of the vehicle body. The drive wheel 14 drives the directional front wheel 13 through a drive assembly, thereby realizing the transfer of the vehicle body 1 and improving the smoothness of the operation.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the drive assembly includes a power supply 15, which is a 12V electric drive to reduce energy consumption and minimize the safety hazards of high-voltage electricity. The power supply 15 is electrically connected to the lead screw motor 11 and the drive wheel 14 via a control module 5. Workers control the lead screw motor 11 and the drive wheel 14 through the control module 5, thereby enabling the flipping and transfer of the goods 2. This facilitates manual control, simplifies the operation process, and reduces the risk of human error.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] This example discloses an automatic reversing and erecting machine device, which is further optimized based on Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the control module 5 includes a charging circuit electrically connected to the power supply and a control circuit connected in parallel with the charging circuit. A charging connector for connecting to mains power is connected in series in the charging circuit to facilitate charging and energy storage, enabling the device to operate continuously. The control circuit is used to control the start, stop, and rotation direction of the lead screw motor 11 and the drive wheel 14.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control circuit includes a motor control board and corresponding control buttons electrically connected to it. Workers operate the motor control board via the control buttons on the control module 5 to flip and transfer the goods 2. The control buttons control the start, stop, and rotation direction of the lead screw motor 11 and the drive wheel 14. Furthermore, the control circuit also includes a limit switch electrically connected to the motor control board, which controls the stop of the lead screw motor 11. The limit switch is fixed to the vehicle body 1 at a position corresponding to the fully lowered position of the tilting plate, thus ensuring that the lead screw motor 11 automatically stops rotating after the tilting plate 7 is fully upright or tilted backward, guaranteeing the normal operation of the device.

[0043] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, SB1, SB2, and KM1 are emergency controls. SB1 is the external emergency stop button on the wired remote control that can be equipped with this device, and SB2 is the emergency stop button on the control module 5 of this device. Both have the same function. When an emergency requires an emergency stop, pressing SB1 or SB2 will disconnect relay KM1, ensuring the safe operation of the device.

[0044] Specifically, according to such Figure 3The circuit control diagram shown illustrates the process: when the forks 10 pick up the cargo 2 and attach it to the tilting plate 7 with the straps, the tilt button is activated via the control module 5. The lead screw motor 11, driven by the power supply 15, causes the synchronous belt 12 to rotate the lead screw 6. At this time, the lead screw slider 9 moves forward, causing the cargo 2 to tilt along with the tilting plate 7, and the tilting angle can be controlled as needed. When the tilting plate 7 touches the buffer 3 and the limit switch, the lead screw 6 stops rotating after the cargo 2 has tilted smoothly, significantly reducing the height of the cargo 2. Then, the forward or reverse button is activated to transfer the cargo 2. Finally, after reaching the destination, the upright button is activated via the control module 5. The lead screw motor 11, driven by the synchronous belt 12, rotates the lead screw 6, and the lead screw slider 9 moves backward, causing the cargo 2 to flip upward with the tilting plate 7 until it reaches the upright position, at which point the lead screw 6 automatically stops. At this point, the straps are released, the vehicle body 1 is removed, and the low-profile transfer task of "forklift—tilt—transfer—upright—removal" is completed.
