Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ceramic tile transfer equipment, specifically a ceramic tile transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] When ceramic tiles come off the production line, they are usually transported to a designated storage location by a transfer device. However, the process of moving ceramic tiles from the production line to the transfer device and from the transfer device to the storage location usually requires manual handling. Moreover, ceramic tiles are mostly placed flat on the transfer device. This flat handling method requires workers to continuously use their arm strength to lift them, which puts more pressure on their shoulders and waist. However, when handling vertically, the weight can be distributed by the arms hanging down naturally, thus improving the handling intensity for workers. Therefore, it is particularly important to provide a ceramic tile transfer device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ceramic brick transfer device that can vertically unload ceramic bricks on one side of the transfer device, reducing the muscle load on workers and making it easier for workers to load and unload ceramic bricks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ceramic tile transfer device, comprising a U-shaped base frame, a push handle fixedly connected to the tail of the U-shaped base frame, shock-absorbing casters installed at the four corners of the bottom of the U-shaped base frame, a support frame rotatably connected to the side of the U-shaped base frame via hinges, slide rails fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the support frame, slide rail strips slidably engaged on the inner side of the slide rails, the top of the slide rail strips fixedly connected to the bottom of the pallet, the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support frame rotatably hinged to one end of a connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod rotatably hinged to the top of a slider, the slider slidably sleeved on the outer side of two sliding columns, the two ends of the sliding columns fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped base frame, two sliders symmetrically arranged and fixedly connected to each other via a transmission rod, a lead screw rotatably connected to the middle of the transmission rod, one end of the lead screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the U-shaped base frame, and the other end of the lead screw rotatably connected to the other side wall of the U-shaped base frame and fixedly connected to one end of a crank handle.

[0005] Preferably, multiple sets of baffles are fixed around the pallet, and a buffer pad is fixed to the bottom of the baffle on one side of the hinge.

[0006] Preferably, the lead screw extends out of the outer side of the U-shaped base frame and is fitted with a locking sleeve without contact. A locking screw is threaded through one side of the locking sleeve, and one end of the locking sleeve is fixed to the outer wall of the U-shaped base frame.

[0007] Preferably, the outer end of the slide rail is provided with a limiting end ear perpendicular to the sliding direction, and a locking block is rotatably connected to one side of the outer end of the slide rail. The locking block is horizontally contacted and connected to the upper part of the protrusion, and the protrusion is fixed to the outer end wall of the slide rail.

[0008] Preferably, the inner end of the slide rail is fixedly connected to one end of a strong spring, and the other end of the strong spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide rail.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This invention features a rotatable and tiltable pallet. With the cooperation of a support frame, lead screw, connecting rod, and crank, the pallet can be rotated from a horizontal position around a hinge to a vertically tilted position. At this time, workers can vertically transport ceramic tiles onto the pallet, which is then limited by a baffle, greatly reducing the muscle load on workers and facilitating the handling of ceramic tiles. With the help of a strong spring, the pallet can slide slowly along the slide rail when tilted, reducing rigid impact damage to the ceramic tiles. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4A ceramic tile transfer device includes a U-shaped base frame 1, with a push handle 2 fixedly connected to the tail end of the U-shaped base frame 1. Shock-absorbing casters 17 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the U-shaped base frame 1. A support frame 3 is rotatably connected to the side of the U-shaped base frame 1 via hinges 4. Slide rails 5 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the support frame 3. Slide rail strips 51 are slidably engaged inside the slide rails 5. The top of the slide rail strips 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of a pallet 6. The front and rear sides of the bottom of the support frame 3 are rotatably hinged to one end of a connecting rod 13. The other end of the connecting rod 13 is rotatably hinged to the top of a slider 12. The slider 12 is slidably sleeved on the two slide rails. On the outside of column 14, both ends of the sliding column 14 are fixed to the inner wall of the U-shaped base frame 1. Two sliders 12 are symmetrically arranged and fixed to each other by transmission rod 11. The transmission rod 11 is threadedly connected to a lead screw 10 in the middle. One end of the lead screw 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the U-shaped base frame 1, and the other end of the lead screw 10 is rotatably connected to the other side wall of the U-shaped base frame 1 and fixed to one end of the crank handle 9. With the above structure, the pallet 6 can be rotated to one side of this transfer device. The operator can place the ceramic bricks vertically on the pallet 6, which greatly reduces the muscle load on the operator and makes it easier to move and unload the ceramic bricks.

[0019] The pallet 6 is equipped with multiple sets of baffles 7 around its perimeter. A buffer pad 8 is fixed to the bottom of the baffle 7 on one side of the hinge 4. The multiple sets of baffles 7 can prevent the ceramic tiles from slipping during transportation, and the buffer pad 8 can prevent the ceramic tiles from being damaged by rigid impact.

[0020] The lead screw 10 extends out of the outer side of the U-shaped base 1 and is fitted with a locking sleeve 15 without contact. A locking screw 16 is threaded through one side of the locking sleeve 15. One end of the locking sleeve 15 is fixed to the outer wall of the U-shaped base 1. By turning the locking screw 16, it gradually comes into contact with and abuts against the outer wall of the lead screw 10, thereby limiting the position of the lead screw 10.

[0021] The slide rail 51 has a limiting end ear 52 perpendicular to the sliding direction on its outer end. A locking block 54 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer end of the slide rail 51. The locking block 54 is horizontally connected to the upper part of the protrusion 53. The protrusion 53 is fixed to the outer end wall of the slide rail 51. By setting the limiting end ear 52 and the locking block 54, the position of the slide rail 51 can be limited to prevent it from moving left or right.

[0022] The inner end of the slide rail 51 is fixed to one end of the strong spring 55, and the other end of the strong spring 55 is fixed to the inner wall of the slide rail 5. By setting the strong spring 55, it is easier to load and unload.

[0023] Working principle: When ceramic tiles need to be moved onto the transfer device, first manually turn the crank handle 9, which in turn drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission rod 11 to move horizontally, which in turn drives the slider 12 to move along the slide column 14. Then, one end of the connecting rod 13 moves with the slider 12 and rotates, and the other end of the connecting rod 13 rotates around the hinge point with the support frame. Then, one side of the support frame 3 rotates and lifts around the hinge 4, which in turn drives the slide rail 5 and the pallet 6 to rotate. Then, rotate the locking block 54 to release the limit on the slide rail 51, and at the same time, tighten the locking screw 16 so that the end of the locking screw 16 abuts against the lead screw 10 to complete the limit. Then, manually move the ceramic tiles onto the transfer device. The ceramic tile is moved to the side of the pallet 6 and the bottom edge of the ceramic tile contacts the baffle 7 until the baffle 7 reaches its limit height. During this process, due to gravity, the strong spring 55 is stretched. The pallet 6 slides down along the slide rail 5 and contacts the ground through the buffer pad 8, reducing the handling height and saving manpower. Then, loosen the locking screw 16 and turn the crank 9 again to place the pallet 6 in a horizontal position and tighten the locking screw 16 again. At this time, under the action of the strong spring 55, the slide rail 51 is pulled back into the slide rail 5. Turn the locking block 54 again until it contacts the upper part of the protrusion 54. The transfer of the ceramic tile can be completed by the traction push handle 2.
