Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically to a material turnover cart for a workshop. Background Technology
[0002] Material handling carts are indispensable logistics equipment in modern manufacturing workshops, widely used for material handling and turnover between production lines and processes. Existing automated material handling carts are often limited in function, typically only capable of material transport. When materials (such as CNC machined parts, drilled parts, tapped parts, etc.) require immediate post-processing such as cleaning and drying after processing, they must be unloaded from the cart to a dedicated cleaning station, processed, and then reloaded for transport to the next station. This process involves multiple loading and unloading operations, increasing not only operating time and labor costs but also the risk of material damage during transport.
[0003] Therefore, existing material handling vehicles have limited functionality and cannot meet the needs of online post-processing (such as cleaning and drying) of materials during the handling process, resulting in discontinuous production processes and low overall efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved This utility model addresses the above-mentioned problems by proposing a material turnover cart for workshops. Its purpose is to solve the problems of low automation, limited functionality, and inability to perform online operations such as cleaning and drying in existing workshop turnover carts, which leads to low production efficiency and easy damage to materials.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a material turnover cart for a workshop, the core of which lies in the deep integration of material handling and online cleaning functions, realizing a semi-automated "transport and washing integration" operation. The turnover cart mainly includes a cart body 1 with an open-top cleaning chamber 101 inside. Inside the cart body 1, a cover-opening mechanism 2 is fixedly installed. The cover-opening mechanism 2 includes a cover-opening motor 21, the output end of which is connected to a first rotating shaft 22, which is installed inside the cart body 1. A cover plate 20 is provided at the top of the cleaning chamber 101, and one side of the cover plate 20 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 22 via one or more connecting parts 23. Thus, the cover-opening motor 21 can drive the first rotating shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the cover plate 20 to rotate via the connecting parts 23, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the cleaning chamber 101, greatly facilitating the loading and unloading of workpieces.
[0022] like Figure 3 To further complete the cleaning process, a liftable inner basket 3 is installed inside the vehicle body 1 to hold the workpiece. A lifting and draining mechanism 4 controls the movement of the inner basket 3. This mechanism includes a lifting motor 40 fixedly installed inside the vehicle body 1. The lifting motor 40 is connected to two second rotating shafts 42 via a belt 41. A pull rope 43 is wound around each of the second rotating shafts 42, and the free end of the pull rope 43 is connected to the inner basket 3. The lifting motor 40 can drive the second rotating shafts 42 to rotate in both directions, raising or lowering the inner basket 3 by extending or retracting the pull rope 43, thereby realizing the immersion and draining of the workpiece within the cleaning chamber 101.
[0023] The specific working process is as follows: When the processed workpiece needs to be cleaned, the cover-opening motor 21 starts and automatically opens the cover plate 20; after the operator puts the workpiece into the inner basket 3, the cover plate 29 automatically closes. Then, water is injected into the cleaning chamber 101 and the cleaning program is started; after cleaning, the lifting motor 40 starts and the inner basket 3 is lifted out of the water surface by the winding rope 43 to the preset draining position; after the workpiece is dry, the cover can be opened and the clean and dry workpiece can be taken out. The whole process does not require multiple loading and unloading.
[0024] like Figure 5 To further improve post-cleaning efficiency, this invention also integrates a blower module 5. The housing 50 of the blower module 5 is fixedly installed on the four side walls of the cleaning chamber 101. The air outlet on the housing 50 communicates with the interior of the cleaning chamber 101, and each housing 50 is equipped with one or more fans 51. Through this circumferential layout, when the inner basket 3 is raised, multiple fans 51 start simultaneously, evenly introducing airflow into the cleaning chamber 101 to efficiently and thoroughly dry the workpieces placed in the inner basket 3.
[0025] The turnover cart of this utility model has a built-in cleaning module, which is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall or inner side wall of the cleaning chamber 101. Its function is to perform a cleaning operation on the workpiece placed in the inner basket 3 after the cover plate 20 is closed and the inner basket 3 is lowered and immersed in water, to remove oil and debris.
[0026] To achieve automatic water injection and drainage, a water inlet is provided on the upper part of the side wall of the cleaning chamber 101, and a water outlet is provided on the bottom of the side wall or the bottom wall. The water inlet is connected to an external water source through a pipeline, and the water outlet is connected to a drain pipe through a valve, together forming a complete water circulation system.
[0027] To enable autonomous movement of the entire vehicle, drive wheels 6 and steering wheels 7 are installed at the bottom of the vehicle body 1. Drive wheels 6 are connected to the output of the on-board drive motor to provide forward power. The two work together to enable the transfer vehicle to move and turn flexibly within the workshop, thereby transporting materials and cleaning functions to the required work positions.
[0028] In addition, a work area 8 is provided on the top of the vehicle body 1.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
