[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary maintenance and handling technology, specifically to a tool cart for auxiliary equipment maintenance and handling. Background Technology
[0002] When repairing large equipment such as X-ray machines, it is necessary to disassemble the equipment first. Disassembly requires multiple people to lift the equipment around their necks. Maintenance personnel remove the screws on the bottom of the equipment and manually lift and support it, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is a risk of injury to maintenance personnel. In addition, when moving X-ray machines, due to their large size, the side cover and cabinet of the X-ray machine are usually disassembled and separated, and placed on small carts to move through the security checkpoint. Because the cover is large, two people are needed to place it vertically on the small cart and hold the cover on both sides, while another person pushes the cart forward. This poses a safety risk of multiple people moving the equipment, wasting manpower, and the cover slipping and injuring the staff. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool cart for auxiliary equipment maintenance and transportation.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a tool cart for auxiliary equipment maintenance and handling, which includes a load-bearing plate, a handrail, a guide rail, a slider, a mounting frame, a lifting structure, a suction cup, a support assembly, and casters;
[0005] A handrail is vertically fixed to the surface of one end of the support plate. Two spaced-apart guide rails are vertically arranged below the crossbar of the handrail. The top end of each guide rail is fixedly connected to the crossbar of the handrail, and the bottom end of each guide rail is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate. A slider slides along each guide rail, and a mounting frame is fixedly connected between the sliders of the two guide rails. A lifting structure is vertically fixed to the support plate below the mounting frame. The base of the lifting structure is fixed to the surface of the support plate, and the telescopic rod of the lifting structure is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame. At least one groove is provided on the surface of the other end of the support plate. A liftable support assembly is installed in each groove. A suction cup is vertically fixed to the mounting frame, with its front end close to the support assembly. Universal wheels are installed at the four corners below the support plate.
[0006] Preferably, the support assembly includes a nut, a screw, and a support plate; the nut is fixed on the surface of the bearing plate, the screw is vertically threaded through the nut, the bottom end of the screw passes downward through the surface of the bearing plate, and the top end of the screw is fixedly connected to the horizontally arranged support plate.
[0007] Preferably, the support assembly further includes a support wheel, with the bottom end of a screw passing through the bearing plate being fixedly connected to the top of the support wheel.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting frame includes an annular plate and two crossbeams; the annular plate is fixedly sleeved on the back of the suction cup, and the crossbeams extending radially are fixed on the left and right sides of the annular plate respectively, with the end of each crossbeam fixedly connected to the corresponding slider.
[0009] Preferably, the handrail includes a horizontal bar and two vertical bars, the bottom ends of the two vertical bars are fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate, and the top ends of the two vertical bars are fixedly connected by the horizontal bar; two spaced guide rails are installed between the two vertical bars below the horizontal bar.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting structure is an electric telescopic rod.
[0011] Advantages of this invention: This invention can assist in X-ray machine maintenance and also facilitate object handling. When disassembling the screws at the bottom of the X-ray machine for maintenance, the electric telescopic rod retracts, causing the mounting frame to move downwards along the guide rail, thereby controlling the suction cup to descend and adhere to the side wall of the X-ray machine. Then, the electric telescopic rod extends, causing the mounting frame to move upwards along the guide rail, thereby controlling the suction cup to move the X-ray machine upwards, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to disassemble the screws at the bottom of the X-ray machine. When transporting the side cover plate of the X-ray machine, the cover plate is placed vertically on the support plate with the cover plate facing the suction cup. The electric telescopic rod controls the mounting frame to move along the guide rail, moving the suction cup to the center of the cover plate. Then, the support plate is screwed in the forward direction, with the screws relative to the side wall. As the nut rises, the support plate unscrews from the groove. The cover plate, slightly tilted, stands between the front of the suction cup and the support assembly, creating a transport space. One side of the cover plate is held in place by the suction cup, while the other side abuts against the edge of the support plate, preventing the cover plate from detaching from the suction cup due to drops and further enhancing transport safety. When transporting the cabinet, the support plate is screwed in the opposite direction, causing the screw to descend relative to the nut, allowing the support plate to screw into the groove and the support wheels to contact the ground for support, preventing the load-bearing plate from deforming under weight. Then, the X-ray machine cabinet is placed on the load-bearing plate, and the mounting frame is moved along the guide rail using an electric telescopic rod, moving the suction cup to the middle of the cabinet's side wall, where it holds the cabinet in place, ensuring safe transport.

The bottom ends of the two vertical bars 2.2 are fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 1, and the top ends of the two vertical bars 2.2 are fixedly connected to the horizontal bar 2.1. Two spaced guide rails 3 are vertically arranged between the two vertical bars 2.2 below the horizontal bar 2.1. The top ends of the guide rails 3 are fixedly connected to the horizontal bar 2.1 of the handle 2, and the bottom ends of the guide rails 3 are fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 1. A slider 4 is slidably provided on each guide rail 3, and a mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected between the sliders 4 of the two guide rails 3. The mounting frame 5 includes an annular plate 5.1 and two crossbeams 5.2. The annular plate 5.1 is used to install the suction cup 7. The radially extending crossbeams 5.2 are fixed on the left and right sides of the annular plate 5.1 respectively. The end of each crossbeam 5.2 is fixedly connected to the corresponding slider 4. The slider 4 and the guide rail 3 cooperate to play a guiding role and can improve the installation stability of the mounting frame 5 and facilitate the up and down movement of the mounting frame 5.
[0022] A lifting structure 6 is vertically fixed on the support plate 1 below the mounting frame 5. The lifting structure 6 is an electric telescopic rod. The base of the electric telescopic rod is fixed to the surface of the support plate 1. The telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 5. The electric telescopic rod controls the mounting frame 5 to move up and down along the guide rail 3. A suction cup 7 is fixed on the mounting frame 5. The suction cup 7 is an existing vacuum pump suction cup 7. The specific structure is not described here. The back of the suction cup 7 is fixed to the annular plate 5.1 of the mounting frame 5 by bolts. When the screws at the bottom of the X-ray machine are removed for maintenance, the electric telescopic rod is retracted to move the mounting frame 5 down along the guide rail 3, thereby controlling the suction cup 7 to descend and adhere to the side wall of the X-ray machine. Then, the electric telescopic rod is extended to move the mounting frame 5 up along the guide rail 3, thereby controlling the suction cup 7 to move the X-ray machine. The suction cup 7 is moved upwards to facilitate the removal of screws at the bottom of the X-ray machine by maintenance personnel. When transporting the side cover or cabinet of the X-ray machine, the electric telescopic rod is raised and lowered to move the suction cup 7 to a suitable position on the cover or cabinet. The suction cup 7 is used to fix the cover or cabinet, avoiding the need for personnel to hold the cover by hand, reducing the number of personnel required for transport, and improving transport safety. In addition, especially when transporting round covers, the suction cup 7 can fix the round cover to prevent it from rolling, ensuring transport safety. Two grooves 1.1 are provided on the surface of the other end of the support plate 1 along the left and right directions of the support plate 1. A liftable support component 8 is installed in each groove 1.1. The front of the suction cup 7 and the support component 8 form a transport space, in which the object to be transported is placed. Universal wheels 9 are installed at the four corners below the support plate 1 for easy movement.
[0023] The support assembly 8 includes a nut 8.1, a screw 8.2, a support plate 8.3, and a support wheel 8.4. The nut 8.1 is fixed to the bottom surface of the groove 1.1. The screw 8.2 is vertically threaded through the nut 8.1. The bottom end of the screw 8.2 passes downward through the bottom surface of the groove 1.1 and is fixedly connected to the support wheel 8.4. The support wheel 8.4 uses an existing caster wheel 9. The top end of the screw 8.2 is fixedly connected to a horizontally set support plate 8.3. A wrench is used to tighten the support plate 8.3, causing the support plate 8.3 and the support wheel 8.4 to rise and fall synchronously. When transporting plate-shaped objects such as cover plates, the support plate 8.3 is unscrewed from the groove 1.1, and the cover plate is placed on the bearing plate 1 between the suction cup 7 and the support plate 8.3, restricting the movement of the cover plate. When transporting heavy cabinet-like objects, the support plate 8.3 is screwed into the groove 1.1, and the support wheel 8.4 contacts the ground to provide support and prevent the bearing plate 1 from deforming under weight.
[0024] Instructions for use: When removing the screws at the bottom of the X-ray machine for maintenance, retract the electric telescopic rod to move the mounting bracket 5 downwards along the guide rail 3, thereby controlling the suction cup 7 to descend and adhere to the side wall of the X-ray machine. Then, extend the electric telescopic rod to move the mounting bracket 5 upwards along the guide rail 3, thereby controlling the suction cup 7 to move the X-ray machine upwards, facilitating the removal of the screws at the bottom of the X-ray machine by maintenance personnel. When transporting the cover plate, place the cover plate suspended on the side of the X-ray machine vertically on the support plate 1, with the cover plate facing the suction cup 7. Use the electric telescopic rod to control the mounting bracket 5 to move along the guide rail 3, moving the suction cup 7 to the middle of the cover plate, where the suction cup 7 will hold the cover plate in place. Then, turn the support plate 8.3 forward, relative to the screw 8.2. Nut 8.1 rises, causing support plate 8.3 to unscrew from groove 1.1. Support plate 8.3 prevents the cover from detaching from suction cup 7 due to tilting, further improving transportation safety. When transporting the cabinet, support plate 8.3 is screwed in the opposite direction, and screw 8.2 descends relative to nut 8.1, causing support plate 8.3 to screw into groove 1.1 and making support wheel 8.4 contact the ground, providing support and preventing load-bearing plate 1 from deforming under weight. Then, the X-ray machine cabinet is placed on load-bearing plate 1, and the mounting frame 5 is moved along guide rail 3 by electric telescopic rod, causing suction cup 7 to move to the middle of the cabinet side wall and hold the cabinet in place. The transport personnel move the transport cart to the destination via handle 2, release suction cup 7, and unload the transported items.
[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
