Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal ingot transportation technology, and specifically relates to an aluminum ingot transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum ingot production and processing industry, the transportation of aluminum ingots has always been a critical link, and traditional methods of transporting aluminum ingots have many problems.

[0003] In the past, simple flatbed trolleys were often used to transport aluminum ingots. These trolleys lacked height adjustment functions. Faced with the height differences of different loading and unloading platforms, operators often had to expend a lot of physical strength to move the aluminum ingots up or down, which was inefficient and extremely labor-intensive. For example, when transporting aluminum ingots from the casting area to the processing area within the factory, the worktables in different areas had different heights, and the flatbed trolley could not adapt flexibly, making the loading and unloading process extremely inconvenient.

[0004] Meanwhile, although flatbed trolleys can carry aluminum ingots for transportation, workers still need to manually move the ingots onto the trolleys during loading and unloading, which is not only slow but also prone to causing worker injuries. Furthermore, during transportation, the ingots are simply placed on the flatbed without effective restraints, making them highly susceptible to rolling and slipping. This can damage the ingots and pose serious safety hazards; for example, if the transport route is bumpy, the ingots may fall off the vehicle, injuring nearby personnel or damaging other equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the inconvenience of transporting and unloading aluminum ingots by proposing an aluminum ingot transport device to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an aluminum ingot transport device, including a base plate, with movable wheels installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate, a support plate above the base plate, upper hinge seats at the four corners of the bottom of the support plate, and hydraulic components at the four corners of the top of the base plate. The tops of the four hydraulic components are respectively hinged to the four upper hinge seats. The bottoms of the two hydraulic components on the front side of the top of the base plate are fixed to the top of the base plate, and the bottoms of the two hydraulic components on the rear side of the top of the base plate are hinged to lower hinge seats. The two lower hinge seats are fixed to the base plate. A pull rod is fixed to the front side of the top of the support plate, and a winch is installed on the pull rod. A towing frame is connected to the winch cable. A rear baffle is rotatably connected to the rear side of the top of the support plate. After the rear baffle rotates, it abuts against the ground. The movable wheels allow the aluminum ingot to be transported. The transport device is easy to move on the ground, facilitating transport operations. The pallet and base plate are connected by hydraulic components, allowing the pallet height to be adjusted by the extension and retraction of these components to accommodate different loading and unloading height requirements. For example, the pallet height can be lowered for easier loading of aluminum ingots, while raising it facilitates transport or unloading, increasing the practicality and flexibility of the transport device. The pull rod allows operators to easily push or pull the transport device. The combination of the winch and towing frame allows for easy towing of heavier goods such as aluminum ingots onto the pallet, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling and improving work efficiency. The rear baffle is rotatable and comes into contact with the ground after rotation. When loading and unloading aluminum ingots, the rear baffle forms a ramp with the ground, facilitating the loading and unloading of aluminum ingots from the ground onto the pallet, further simplifying the loading and unloading operations.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the rear baffle after contacting the ground is inclined. This inclined shape is more conducive to the movement of aluminum ingots along the rear baffle, reduces the obstruction of aluminum ingots during the movement process, makes the loading and unloading process smoother, and can also prevent aluminum ingots from suddenly slipping during loading and unloading to a certain extent, thus improving the safety of loading and unloading.

[0008] Furthermore, at least one side baffle is fixed on both the left and right sides of the top of the pallet. The side baffles fixed on the left and right sides of the top of the pallet can limit and block the aluminum ingots placed on the pallet, preventing the aluminum ingots from rolling or sliding to the left or right during transportation, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the aluminum ingots during transportation.

[0009] Furthermore, at least one intermediate baffle is detachably inserted into the top of the pallet. The intermediate baffle is located between the side baffles on the left and right sides. The intermediate baffle detachably inserted into the top of the pallet can be flexibly installed and removed according to the size and quantity of aluminum ingots. When there are many aluminum ingots or the size is small, the intermediate baffle can be installed to divide the pallet into multiple areas, further limiting the aluminum ingots and preventing them from colliding or moving during transportation. When there are few aluminum ingots or the size is large, the intermediate baffle can be removed to make full use of the pallet space and improve the adaptability of the transportation device.

[0010] Furthermore, rubber pads are adhered to the surfaces of the middle and side baffles that contact the aluminum ingots. These rubber pads provide elasticity and cushioning. During transportation, the rubber pads reduce collisions and friction between the aluminum ingots and the baffles, preventing scratches or damage to the ingot surface and protecting its surface quality. They also reduce noise generated during transport.

[0011] Furthermore, the towing frame includes two L-shaped plates that form a U-shape. The two L-shaped plates are connected by a snap-fit ​​joint. This structural design gives the towing frame a certain strength and stability, enabling it to effectively tow aluminum ingots. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​method facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the towing frame, making it convenient for the maintenance and storage of the transport device. Moreover, the towing frame can be disassembled when it is not in use, reducing the space occupied.

[0012] Furthermore, a front baffle is fixed to the top front side of the pallet. The front baffle fixed to the top front side of the pallet can limit and block the aluminum ingots placed on the pallet from the front. Together with the side baffle and the rear baffle (when rotated to the vertical position), it forms a closed area, which further prevents the aluminum ingots from rolling forward or slipping during transportation, thus improving the safety and stability of aluminum ingot transportation.

[0013] Furthermore, a hydraulic oil tank, a drive motor, and a toolbox are installed on the top of the base plate. The hydraulic oil tank on the top of the base plate provides hydraulic oil to the hydraulic components to ensure their normal operation; the drive motor provides power to the hydraulic system and drives the hydraulic components to perform extension and retraction movements; the toolbox stores tools for easy use by workers.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting pin is inserted into the rear top of the pallet. After the rear baffle is flipped over the pallet, the limiting pin abuts against the bottom surface of the rear baffle. The limiting pin inserted into the rear top of the pallet abuts against the rear baffle. When the rear baffle is rotated to a horizontal position for loading and unloading aluminum ingots, the limiting pin can limit and fix the rear baffle, preventing it from rotating accidentally during loading and unloading, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the loading and unloading process. When the rear baffle is not needed as a loading and unloading ramp, it can be rotated to a vertical position. At this time, the limiting pin can also limit the rear baffle, keeping it in a vertical position for easy transportation.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] This device features casters at the bottom of the base plate, allowing for easy movement on the ground and greatly facilitating the transport of aluminum ingots, thus improving transport flexibility. The pallet is hydraulically connected to the base plate, allowing for flexible height adjustment via hydraulic extension and retraction. This height can be lowered for easier loading of aluminum ingots or raised to accommodate transport or unloading needs, increasing the device's practicality and flexibility to adapt to different loading and unloading height requirements. A pull rod on the front top of the pallet facilitates pushing or pulling the transport device. The combination of a winch and a towing frame allows for easy towing of heavier goods such as aluminum ingots onto the pallet, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling and significantly improving work efficiency. The rear baffle can rotate and form a ramp against the ground, facilitating the loading and unloading of aluminum ingots from the ground onto the pallet, making operation more convenient. The inclined top of the rear baffle further facilitates the movement of aluminum ingots, reduces obstruction, and prevents slippage. This design improves the safety of loading and unloading. The side baffles on the top left and right sides of the pallet, the front baffle, and the rear baffle that can be rotated to a vertical position together form a closed area, providing comprehensive restraint and blocking for the aluminum ingots placed on the pallet, preventing them from rolling or slipping during transportation and ensuring their stability and safety. The detachable and insertable middle baffle at the top of the pallet can be flexibly installed or removed according to the size and quantity of the aluminum ingots, rationally dividing the pallet space. This prevents the aluminum ingots from colliding or moving, while making full use of space and improving the adaptability of the transportation device to different aluminum ingot transportation conditions. Rubber pads are bonded to the surfaces of the middle and side baffles that contact the aluminum ingots. The elasticity and cushioning of the rubber pads reduce collisions and friction between the aluminum ingots and the baffles, effectively protecting the surface quality of the aluminum ingots and reducing noise during transportation. The towing frame consists of two L-shaped... The U-shaped plates, secured by snap-fit ​​connections, provide sufficient strength and stability for dragging aluminum ingots. The snap-fit ​​mechanism facilitates assembly and disassembly, simplifying maintenance and storage of the transport equipment. When not in use, the plates can be removed to reduce space occupation. A hydraulic tank, drive motor, and toolbox are mounted on the top of the base plate. The hydraulic tank ensures the normal operation of the hydraulic components, the drive motor provides power to the hydraulic system, and the toolbox stores tools for easy access by workers. A limiting pin on the rear top of the pallet abuts against the rear baffle, limiting and fixing the baffle when it is in a horizontal loading / unloading position to prevent accidental rotation and ensure safe and stable loading / unloading. It also limits the baffle when it is in a vertical position, facilitating transportation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0023] like Figs. 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides an aluminum ingot transport device, including a base plate 1. Four casters 3 are installed at the four bottom corners of the base plate 1. A support plate 2 is positioned above the base plate 1. Upper hinge seats 5 are installed at the four bottom corners of the support plate 2. Hydraulic components 6 are installed at the four top corners of the base plate 1. The tops of the four hydraulic components 6 are respectively hinged to the four upper hinge seats 5. The bottoms of the two hydraulic components 6 on the front side of the top of the base plate 1 are fixed to the top of the base plate 1. The bottoms of the two hydraulic components 6 on the rear side of the top of the base plate 1 are hinged to lower hinge seats 4. The two lower hinge seats 4 are fixed to the base plate 1. A pull rod 7 is fixed to the front side of the top of the support plate 2. A winch 13 is installed on the pull rod 7. A towing frame 14 is connected to the winch cable of the winch 13. A rear baffle 11 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the top of the support plate 2. After rotation, the rear baffle 11 abuts against the ground. The inclusion of casters facilitates the movement of the aluminum ingot transport device on the ground, simplifying transport operations. The pallet and base plate are connected by hydraulic components, allowing for height adjustment to accommodate varying loading and unloading needs. For example, lowering the pallet facilitates loading aluminum ingots, while raising it facilitates transport or unloading, increasing the device's practicality and flexibility. The pull rod allows operators to easily push or pull the transport device. The combination of a winch and towing frame allows for convenient towing of heavier goods, such as aluminum ingots, onto the pallet, reducing manual handling labor and improving efficiency. The rotatable rear baffle, when rotated, forms a ramp against the ground, facilitating the loading and unloading of aluminum ingots from the ground onto the pallet, further simplifying the loading and unloading process.

[0024] Specifically, the upper surface of the rear baffle 11 after contacting the ground is inclined. This inclined shape facilitates the movement of aluminum ingots along the rear baffle, reduces obstacles during movement, and makes the loading and unloading process smoother. It also helps prevent aluminum ingots from suddenly slipping during loading and unloading, improving safety. At least one side baffle 9 is fixed to the top left and right sides of the pallet 2. These side baffles limit and block the aluminum ingots placed on the pallet, preventing them from rolling or slipping during transport, ensuring stability and safety. At least one intermediate baffle 10 is detachably inserted into the top of the pallet 2, located between the side baffles 9 on the left and right sides. This detachable intermediate baffle can be adjusted according to the size and quantity of the aluminum ingots. The system allows for flexible installation and disassembly. When there are many aluminum ingots or their size is small, intermediate baffles can be installed to divide the pallet into multiple areas, further limiting the aluminum ingots and preventing them from colliding or moving during transportation. When there are few aluminum ingots or their size is large, the intermediate baffles can be removed to fully utilize the pallet space and improve the adaptability of the transportation device. Rubber pads are adhered to the surfaces of the intermediate baffles 10 and side baffles 9 that contact the aluminum ingots. These rubber pads have elasticity and cushioning properties, reducing collisions and friction between the aluminum ingots and the baffles during transportation, preventing scratches or damage to the surface of the aluminum ingots, protecting their surface quality, and also reducing noise generated during transportation. The towing frame 14 includes two L-shaped plates that form a U-shape. The connection between the two L-shaped plates is secured by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The U-shaped plates are connected by snap-fit ​​joints. This structural design gives the towing frame a certain strength and stability, enabling it to effectively tow aluminum ingots. The snap-fit ​​method also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the towing frame, making maintenance and storage of the transport device easier. Furthermore, the towing frame can be removed when not in use, reducing space occupation. A front baffle 8 is fixed to the top front of the pallet 2. This front baffle limits and blocks the aluminum ingots placed on the pallet, forming a closed area together with the side baffles and rear baffle when rotated to a vertical position, further preventing the aluminum ingots from rolling forward or slipping during transport, thus improving the safety and stability of aluminum ingot transportation. A hydraulic oil tank 15, a drive motor 16, and a toolbox 17 are installed on the top of the base plate 1. The hydraulic oil tank provides hydraulic oil to the hydraulic components, ensuring their normal operation; the drive motor provides power to the hydraulic system, driving the hydraulic components to extend and retract.The toolbox can hold tools for easy access by workers. A limiting pin 12 is inserted into the top rear side of the pallet 2. After the rear baffle 11 is flipped above the pallet 2, the limiting pin 12 abuts against the bottom surface of the rear baffle 11. The bottom surface of the rear baffle 11 is the side facing the ground when the rear baffle is lowered. The limiting pin inserted into the top rear side of the pallet abuts against the rear baffle. When the rear baffle is rotated to a horizontal position for loading and unloading aluminum ingots, the limiting pin can limit and fix the rear baffle, preventing accidental rotation during loading and unloading, ensuring the safety and stability of the loading and unloading process. When the rear baffle is not needed as a loading and unloading ramp, it can be rotated to a vertical position. At this time, the limiting pin can also limit the rear baffle, keeping it in a vertical position for easy transportation.

[0025] The working process of the device is as follows: First, the operator connects to the power supply through the toolbox to power the transport device. The drive motor is started, providing power to the hydraulic oil pump in the hydraulic system, allowing the hydraulic oil in the tank to circulate normally. Depending on the size and quantity of the aluminum ingots, it is decided whether to install an intermediate baffle. If there are many aluminum ingots or their size is small, the intermediate baffle is detachably inserted into the middle of the top of the pallet, dividing the pallet into multiple areas. If there are few aluminum ingots or their size is large, the intermediate baffle is not installed to fully utilize the pallet space. The aluminum ingots are loaded, and the toolbox is operated to control the hydraulic components to retract, lowering the pallet height to bring it closer to the ground for easier loading. The rear baffle is rotated to a horizontal position, forming a ramp against the ground. At this point, a limit pin is inserted to limit and fix the rear baffle, preventing accidental rotation during loading and unloading. Using a winch and towing frame, heavier aluminum ingots are dragged from the ground onto the pallet. The specific operation involves assembling two L-shaped plates of the towing frame into a U-shape using snap-fit ​​connections, attaching them to the winch's cable, and then pulling the towing frame by rotating the winch to move the aluminum ingot along the rear baffle ramp onto the pallet. After the aluminum ingot is placed on the pallet, the side baffles on the top left and right sides of the pallet, the front baffle, and the middle baffle, if installed, limit and block the aluminum ingot, preventing it from rolling or moving on the pallet. After loading the aluminum ingot, operate the toolbox to control the extension of the hydraulic components, raising the pallet to a suitable transport height, pulling out the limit pin, rotating the rear baffle to a vertical position, and then inserting the limit pin again to limit the rear baffle, keeping it in a vertical position. At this point, the front baffle, side baffle, vertical rear baffle, and middle baffle (if installed) together form a closed area, ensuring the stability and safety of the aluminum ingot during transportation. Operators push or pull the transport device using levers, moving it on the ground using wheels to transport the aluminum ingot to the designated location. After unloading the ingot, the toolbox is operated to control the hydraulic components to retract, lowering the pallet height. The rear baffle is rotated to a horizontal position and brought into contact with the ground. A limit pin is inserted to secure the rear baffle. The aluminum ingot can then be unloaded from the pallet along the rear baffle ramp onto the ground, either manually or by using a winch and towing frame again. For subsequent work, after unloading, the limit pin is removed, the rear baffle is rotated to a vertical position, and a limit pin is inserted to secure it. If the towing frame is no longer needed, its two L-shaped plates can be separated using snap-fit ​​joints for storage to reduce space occupation. The drive motor is turned off, and the toolbox is disconnected from the power supply, completing one aluminum ingot transportation operation.
