Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vertical glass transport equipment, specifically to a large-scale vertical glass transport device. Background Technology
[0002] Large windows and doors are typically large in area and heavy in weight. Even slight carelessness during loading and unloading can easily lead to collisions and scratches, causing breakage, affecting usability and aesthetics, and increasing costs and construction time. Loading and unloading large windows and doors requires the cooperation of multiple people, demanding high levels of physical strength and skills, as well as good communication and coordination. Traditional methods for lifting and transporting large windows and doors use mobile cranes for vertical transport. However, limitations imposed by the material lifting and transportation conditions at the construction site create difficulties for loading and unloading operations. For example, the ground may be a road or have other obstacles, or there may be obstacles within the lifting space. Furthermore, lifting to a designated height requires the cooperation of multiple people to unload the glass to the corresponding floor, making the operation cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a large glass vertical transport device, which solves the technical problems of the requirements for transport space and the cumbersome operation when using cranes to vertically transport large glass in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A large-scale vertical glass transport device includes a suction cup assembly, a direction control assembly, a vertical lifting assembly, and an unloading assembly. The suction cup assembly includes a suction cup bracket and multiple first vacuum suction cups, which are mounted on the suction cup bracket. The glass to be transported is mounted on the first vacuum suction cups. One end of the direction control assembly is connected to the suction cup bracket and is used to control the lifting direction of the suction cup assembly. The unloading assembly includes a movable base, a support arm, a support frame, and a second vacuum suction cup. One end of the support arm is hinged to the movable base, and the support frame is hinged to the other end of the support arm. Multiple second vacuum suction cups are mounted on the support frame.
[0006] Preferably, both the first vacuum suction cup and the second vacuum suction cup are electric vacuum suction cups.
[0007] Preferably, the direction control assembly includes two control ropes, one end of which is connected to the suction cup bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the movable base includes a base body, wheels, and a vertical connecting arm. Multiple wheels are provided and are located at the bottom of the base body. A counterweight is provided on the base body. The vertical connecting arm is fixedly located at the top of the base body.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the support arm is hinged to the top of the vertical connecting arm, and a first linear drive is hinged between the support arm and the vertical connecting arm. The hinge angle between the support arm and the vertical connecting arm is controlled by adjusting the extension and retraction of the first linear drive.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the support frame is hinged to the end of the support arm, and a second linear drive is hinged between the support arm and the support frame. The angle of the hinge between the support arm and the support frame is controlled by adjusting the extension and retraction of the second linear drive.
[0011] Preferably, auxiliary brackets are detachably installed on both sides of the base body, and auxiliary counterweights are provided on the auxiliary brackets.
[0012] In this utility model, the overall structure adopts a combination of suction cup assembly, direction control assembly, vertical lifting assembly and unloading assembly, which replaces the existing lifting equipment, reduces the requirements for the construction site, facilitates loading and unloading, and improves the efficiency of vertical transportation.
[0013] Vacuum adsorption ensures a firm and stable connection between the glass and the suction cup, effectively avoiding the risk of the glass falling off during transportation. Meanwhile, the vertical lifting assembly composed of an electric winch enables efficient vertical lifting of the glass. Combined with the direction control assembly and manual adjustment via dual control ropes, the lifting direction and lateral position of the glass can be precisely controlled, reducing transportation delays caused by positional deviations and making the entire transportation process more efficient and safer.
[0014] The support arm and vertical connecting arm, as well as the support frame and support arm, are adjusted at different angles via linear drive components, allowing for flexible adaptation to varying unloading heights and angles. The second vacuum suction cup also employs electric vacuum adsorption to ensure the stability of the glass during unloading and transfer. Furthermore, the movable base's wheel design (whether electric hub wheels or a combination of omnidirectional and standard wheels) enables the glass to be easily transported to designated locations, significantly reducing the labor intensity of manual handling and improving unloading efficiency.
[0015] The counterweights on the base and the detachable auxiliary supports and counterweights can be flexibly adjusted according to the weight and size of the glass, effectively balancing the center of gravity of the device, improving the load-bearing capacity of the unloading components, enabling it to transport larger pieces of glass, expanding the applicability of the device, and meeting the transportation needs of glass of different specifications.

One end of the support arm 41 is hinged to the movable base 40, and the support frame 42 is hinged to the other end of the support arm 41. Multiple second vacuum suction cups 43 are mounted on the support frame 42. In this embodiment, the second vacuum suction cups 43 are electric vacuum suction cups, which are fixedly connected to the glass 5 to be transported via vacuum adsorption. After the second vacuum suction cups 43 are fixedly connected to the glass 5 to be transported, the suction cup assembly 1 is disassembled, and the glass 5 to be transported is moved to the designated location via the movable base 40.
[0025] Specifically, one end of the support arm 41 is hinged to the top of the vertical connecting arm 402 via a pin. A first linear drive member 44 is hinged between the support arm 41 and the vertical connecting arm 402. The hinge angle between the support arm 41 and the vertical connecting arm 402 is controlled by adjusting the extension and retraction of the first linear drive member 44. One end of the support frame 42 is hinged to the end of the support arm 41. A second linear drive member 45 is hinged between the support arm 41 and the support frame 42.
