Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling tools, and in particular to a plate transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, construction and decoration, and logistics transportation, the transfer of sheet materials (such as glass sheets of various specifications, marble or artificial stone slabs, LED display panels, etc.) is a common and important task. These sheets are often characterized by large area, heavy weight, fragility, and high requirements for surface smoothness, thus placing high demands on the safety, stability, and non-destructiveness of their transfer devices. Currently, the most common sheet transfer devices on the market are vacuum suction cup handling devices and mechanical clamp handling devices. These devices have high requirements for the surface flatness and cleanliness of the sheets, or are prone to damaging the sheets during transfer, and the devices are also expensive. Simple rope hoisting transfer methods are prone to slippage and loosening during hoisting, posing a great danger and failing to guarantee the balance of the sheets in the air, resulting in serious swaying and tilting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sheet transfer device that is both low-cost, convenient to transfer, and stable in the process. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application discloses a plate transfer device to solve the technical problems of high cost and unstable transfer in existing plate transfer devices in the related art.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a plate transfer device for transferring plates, including a lifting device and two traction ropes. The lifting device is equipped with a hook, and one end of each of the two traction ropes is connected to the hook. The lifting device can drive the traction ropes to move vertically and horizontally. The other end of each traction rope is connected to a fixed tripod. The end of the fixed tripod away from the traction rope is equipped with a locking member. When the plate transfer device transfers the plate, the traction rope is taut, and the locking member engages with the plate.

[0005] Preferably, the fixed tripod is an isosceles triangle structure, and each of the two sides away from the traction rope is provided with a snap-fit ​​device.

[0006] Preferably, the fixed tripod is further provided with a reinforcing rod, and the two ends of the reinforcing rod are respectively connected to the two waist sides of the fixed tripod.

[0007] Preferably, the two traction ropes are of the same length, and the traction ropes also branch off into an adjusting rope on the hook.

[0008] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​component has a flat plate structure.

[0009] Preferably, a protective sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the snap-fit ​​component.

[0010] Preferably, the two sides of the fixed tripod are fitted with protective sleeves on the side near the snap-fit ​​component.

[0011] Preferably, the traction rope is connected to the fixed tripod via a detachable locking buckle.

[0012] Preferably, the hook is provided with a locking mechanism.

[0013] The technical solution adopted in this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model provides a plate transfer device comprising a lifting device and two traction ropes. The lifting device is equipped with a hook, and one end of each of the two traction ropes is connected to the hook. The lifting device can drive the traction ropes to move vertically and horizontally. The other end of the traction rope is connected to a fixed tripod. The end of the fixed tripod away from the traction rope is equipped with a locking component. When the plate transfer device transfers the plate, the traction rope is taut, and the locking component engages with the plate. This device has a simple structure. The tension generated by the taut traction rope allows the locking component on the fixed tripod to stably engage with the edge of the plate or a pre-set slot. At this time, the two traction ropes, together with the fixed tripod and the plate, form a stable triangular structure, achieving force balance and ensuring stability and safety during the transfer process. This provides a safer, more reliable, and effective non-destructive transfer method that protects the surface of the plate.

[0014] 2. The fixed tripod is designed as an isosceles triangle with locking devices at both ends to ensure that the forces at the two locking points are absolutely symmetrical and balanced during lifting. This effectively prevents the plate from tilting, twisting, or slipping on one side during lifting, greatly improving the stability and balance of the transfer process and avoiding internal damage or accidents to the plate that may be caused by uneven force.

[0015] 3. By installing reinforcing bars in the fixed tripod and connecting the two waist sides, the overall structural rigidity and strength of the tripod are significantly enhanced. This makes it less prone to deformation when hoisting heavy plates for a long time, improves the service life and load-bearing reliability of the device, and ensures operational safety.

[0016] 4. A protective sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the snap-fit ​​component. By providing a soft buffer interface between the rigid snap-fit ​​component and the surface of the plate, the machined surface of the plate is completely prevented from being scratched or worn during snap-fit ​​and load-bearing, thus enhancing the non-destructive protection characteristics of the device.

[0017] 5. A protective sleeve is installed on the waist side of the fixed tripod near the snap-fit ​​part. This effectively prevents the metal frame from rigidly scraping against the surface of the plate when it shakes unexpectedly, providing more comprehensive protection for the plate and further reducing the possibility of any damage to the plate during the entire operation.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0023] In industrial production, construction and decoration, and logistics transportation, the transfer of sheet materials (such as glass sheets of various specifications, marble or artificial stone slabs, metal sheets, composite panels, etc.) is a common and important task. These sheet materials are often characterized by large area, heavy weight, fragility, and high requirements for surface smoothness, thus placing high demands on the safety, stability, and non-destructiveness of their transfer devices.

[0024] Currently, common sheet metal transfer devices on the market can be mainly divided into the following categories: Vacuum suction cup transporters: These devices utilize a vacuum generator to create negative pressure, using suction cups to adhere to the surface of workpieces for transport. Their drawbacks are: First, they require extremely high flatness and cleanliness of the workpiece surface. Oil, dust, or unevenness can cause the suction cup to leak, posing a significant safety hazard of sudden pressure loss leading to the workpiece falling and breaking. Second, with prolonged use, the rubber material of the suction cup may age or adhere to the surface coating of the workpiece, posing a risk of surface damage, especially for expensive high-gloss panels or coated glass.

[0025] Mechanical clamp-type transporters: These devices use robotic arms or lever mechanisms to drive grippers to hold the edges of sheet metal for transport. Their main drawbacks are: the clamping force is difficult to control; the grippers are usually made of metal, which can easily leave indentations on the edges of the sheet metal, or even cause chipping or cracking; for sheet metal of different thicknesses, the clamping spacing needs to be adjusted frequently, making the operation cumbersome and the versatility poor.

[0026] Simple rope hoisting method: Operators directly use ropes to pass through the panels or tie knots for hoisting. This method is the most primitive, and its problems are particularly prominent: the ropes are not securely tied and are very easy to slip and loosen during hoisting, posing a great danger; secondly, the contact between the rope and the edge of the panel is point or line contact, resulting in stress concentration and easily causing cuts to the edge of the panel; in addition, this method cannot guarantee the balance of the panel in the air, and the swaying and tilting phenomena are serious, further increasing the operational risks and the probability of material damage.

[0027] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of plate transfer device that can overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, ensure the safety and efficiency of handling, effectively avoid any damage to the surface and edges of the plates, and have good adaptability and ease of operation.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 The present application provides a detailed description of a plate transfer device 1 through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model embodiment provides a plate transfer device 1, including a lifting device 10 and two traction ropes 11. The lifting device 10 is equipped with a hook 100, and one end of each of the two traction ropes 11 is connected to the hook 100. The lifting device 10 can drive the traction ropes 11 to move vertically and horizontally. The other end of each traction rope 11 is connected to a fixed tripod 12. A locking member 122 is provided at the end of the fixed tripod 12 away from the traction rope 11. Specifically, when the plate transfer device 1 transfers the plate 2, the traction ropes 11 are taut. The snap-fit ​​component 122 snaps into the plate 2. It should be noted that this device has a simple structure. The tension generated by the taut traction rope 11 allows the snap-fit ​​component 122 on the fixed tripod 12 to be stably snapped into the edge of the plate 2 or into the preset slot. At this time, the two traction ropes 11, together with the fixed tripod 12 and the plate 2, form a stable triangular structure, achieving force balance and ensuring stability and safety during the transfer process. This provides a safer, more reliable, and effective way to protect the surface of the plate without damage during the transfer process.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting device 10 is fixed on the gantry frame 101 to facilitate the rapid handling of panels within the factory.

[0031] Furthermore, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fixed tripod 12 is an isosceles triangle structure, and each of the two sides 121 away from the traction rope 11 is provided with a snap fastener 122.

[0032] Understandably, setting the fixed tripod 12 as an isosceles triangle structure and setting the locking parts 122 at the two ends ensures that the two locking points are subjected to absolutely symmetrical and balanced forces during lifting. This effectively prevents the plate 2 from tilting, twisting or slipping on one side during lifting, greatly improving the stability and balance of the transfer process, and avoiding internal damage or accidents to the plate 2 that may be caused by uneven force.

[0033] Furthermore, the fixed tripod 12 is also provided with a reinforcing rod 120, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the two waist sides 121 of the fixed tripod 12.

[0034] Understandably, the addition of a reinforcing rod 120 to the fixed tripod 12, connecting the two side edges 121, significantly enhances the overall structural rigidity and strength of the tripod; making it less prone to deformation during long-term hoisting of heavy plates, improving the service life and load-bearing reliability of the device, and ensuring operational safety.

[0035] Furthermore, the two traction ropes 11 are of the same length, and the traction ropes 11 also branch off into an adjusting rope 110 on the hook 100.

[0036] Understandably, the use of two traction ropes 11 of the same length ensures the balance of the lifting foundation; at the same time, the design of adding a branch adjustment rope 110 allows the operator to easily fine-tune the level of the fixed tripod 12 and plate 2 on the ground, and the length of the traction part of the traction rope 11 can be adjusted according to the size of the plate 2, which solves the problem of plate tilting caused by installation deviation or slight rope deformation, making the leveling operation more convenient and precise, and further ensuring the safety of transportation.

[0037] Specifically, when transferring plate 2, plate 2 is first placed on the platform. At this time, the traction rope 11 is in a relaxed state. The operator first uses the adjusting rope 110 to adjust the length of the two traction ropes 11 so that the traction parts of the two traction ropes 11 are of equal length and adapted to the size of plate 2 in a suitable transfer position. Then, the fixed tripods 12 on both sides are moved to opposite sides of plate 2 and the clamping parts 122 are used to clamp the edge of plate 2 or into the preset groove 20. At this time, the lifting device 10 rises, the traction rope 11 is taut, and the fixed tripods 12 pull up plate 2. Then, plate 2 is transferred.

[0038] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector 122 has a flat plate structure.

[0039] Understandably, the snap-fit ​​component 122 adopts a flat plate structure, which makes its structure simple, easy to process and manufacture, and inexpensive; at the same time, its flat shape makes it easier to insert into the gap between the plates or the pre-drilled holes, improving the convenience of operation and the applicability of the device.

[0040] Furthermore, a protective sleeve 1220 is fitted onto the surface of the snap-fit ​​component 122.

[0041] Specifically, the 1200 protective case is a wear-resistant protective case made of soft plastic or silicone.

[0042] Understandably, by covering the surface of the snap-fit ​​122 with a protective sleeve 1220, a soft buffer interface is provided between the rigid snap-fit ​​122 and the surface of the plate 2, which completely avoids scratching or abrasion of the finished surface of the plate during snap-fit ​​and load-bearing, thus enhancing the non-destructive protection characteristics of the device.

[0043] Furthermore, protective sleeves 1210 are fitted on the two waist sides 121 of the fixed tripod 12 near the snap-fit ​​member 122.

[0044] Understandably, the protective sleeve 1210 is installed on the waist side 121 of the fixed tripod near the snap fastener 122. This effectively prevents the metal frame from rigidly scraping against the surface of the plate when it is accidentally shaken, providing more comprehensive protection for the plate 2 and further reducing the possibility of any damage to the plate during the entire operation.

[0045] Furthermore, the traction rope 11 is connected to the fixed tripod 12 via a detachable buckle 123.

[0046] Specifically, the traction rope 11 and the fixed tripod 12 are connected by a detachable buckle 123, which makes the disassembly, assembly and replacement of parts of the device very quick, greatly improving the equipment's maintenance convenience, flexibility and versatility.

[0047] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The hook 100 is equipped with a locking buckle 1000.

[0048] Understandably, setting a locking buckle 1000 on the hook 100 can ensure that the traction rope 11 will not fall off during the transfer, making the transfer of plate 2 more stable and safe.

[0049] The plate transfer device provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: This utility model provides a plate transfer device comprising a lifting device and two traction ropes. The lifting device is equipped with a hook, and one end of each of the two traction ropes is connected to the hook. The lifting device can drive the traction ropes to move vertically and horizontally. The other end of the traction rope is connected to a fixed tripod. The end of the fixed tripod away from the traction rope is equipped with a locking component. When the plate transfer device transfers the plate, the traction rope is taut, and the locking component engages with the plate. This device has a simple structure. The tension generated by the taut traction rope allows the locking component on the fixed tripod to stably engage with the edge of the plate or a pre-set slot. At this time, the two traction ropes, together with the fixed tripod and the plate, form a stable triangular structure, achieving force balance and ensuring stability and safety during the transfer process. This provides a safer, more reliable, and non-destructive transfer method that effectively protects the surface of the plate.
