Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is applied to the field of potted plant cultivation, specifically as a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants. Background Technology

[0002] Potted plants, as an important medium for urban greening and indoor decoration, require frequent relocation during their growth process to adapt to changes in light, temperature, and humidity. After being grown, they also need to be moved extensively to their new location. Traditional methods of transportation mostly rely on manual labor. For example, some medium-sized potted plants (such as 40cm diameter terracotta pots) weigh over 20kg, and can reach over 30kg when the soil is moist. Lifting them manually requires bending over and exerting force, making long-term work extremely tiring. Furthermore, large potted plants typically require 2-3 people working together, significantly increasing labor costs and reducing efficiency.

[0003] Currently, many people use handcarts to transport potted plants. However, traditional handcarts require lifting the entire potted plant onto the platform, causing the bottom of the pot to come into hard contact with the metal plate, which can easily scratch the glaze or loosen the roots. Moreover, the platform of a traditional handcart is a fixed frame, which cannot accommodate potted plants with significantly different diameters (30-60cm). Small potted plants will have too much space when placed in the platform, while large potted plants cannot be placed at all. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to address the problem that existing handcart platforms, which have fixed frames, cannot accommodate potted plants with significantly different diameters during the delivery of potted plants. Therefore, it provides a labor-saving transfer device for transferring potted plants.

[0005] The technical solution of this application is:

[0006] A labor-saving transfer device for transplanting potted plants includes a left support tube, a right support tube, an upper sliding rod assembly, a lower sliding rod assembly, an adjustment assembly, and a clamping assembly;

[0007] The left and right support tubes are arranged in parallel and connected by an upper sliding rod assembly and a lower sliding rod assembly. The upper sliding rod assembly and the lower sliding rod assembly are arranged in parallel and clamping assemblies are inserted into the ends of the lower inclined tubes of the left and right support tubes.

[0008] An adjustment assembly is installed between the right support tube and the upper slide rod assembly, and the left support tube and the right support tube are adjusted in lateral distance through the adjustment assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper sliding rod assembly includes an upper insert tube and an upper insert rod. The upper insert rod is inserted into the upper insert tube, and the end of the upper insert tube is vertically and fixedly connected to the left support tube. The end of the upper insert rod is vertically and fixedly connected to the right support tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the sliding rod assembly includes a lower insertion tube and a lower insertion rod. The lower insertion rod is inserted into the lower insertion tube, and the end of the lower insertion tube is vertically and fixedly connected to the left support tube. The end of the lower insertion rod is vertically and fixedly connected to the right support tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly comprises a lead screw, handwheel, baffle, threaded sleeve, and bearing housing;

[0012] One end of the lead screw is connected to the handwheel, and the other end of the lead screw is connected to the baffle. The threaded structure of the lead screw is screwed into the threaded sleeve, and the smooth surface of the lead screw is installed in the bearing seat.

[0013] The threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the side of the upper insertion tube, and the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the right support tube.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping assembly comprises an arc-shaped frame, an adhesive strip, an insert, a front limiting plate, and a rear limiting plate;

[0015] The arc-shaped frame is rotatably connected to the insertion tube via a shaft. The front and rear limit plates are respectively connected to the insertion tube, and the arc-shaped frame has rubber strips on its arc surface.

[0016] Furthermore, the left and right support pipes are circular pipe structures, and the left and right support pipes are respectively a hand-held section, a longitudinal section, a horizontal pipe section, and an inclined pipe section, and the hand-held section, longitudinal section, horizontal pipe section, and inclined pipe section are integrally formed.

[0017] Furthermore, locking plates are installed on the horizontal sections of the left and right support tubes, and the locking plates are connected to the casters.

[0018] Furthermore, the locking plate consists of a base plate, a U-shaped buckle, and a nut. The U-shaped buckle is inserted into a hole on the base plate and locked in place by the nut.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0020] When the potted plant is delivered, pressing down the handle section causes the inclined tube section to drive the clamping assembly to lift the pot using the pot's edge as a fulcrum. This utilizes the lever principle to convert vertical force into lifting force, reducing operational effort. It enables labor-saving lifting, and by adjusting the screw of the assembly, the left and right support tubes retract laterally, ensuring the rubber strips on the arc-shaped frame fit tightly against the pot wall, preventing damage from hard friction.

[0021] This invention features an upper sliding rod assembly and a lower sliding rod assembly, employing a nested sliding structure of insert tubes and rods. The parallel arrangement of the upper and lower sliding rod assemblies creates a dual guide, ensuring synchronous translation of the left and right support tubes during adjustment and preventing the potted plant from tilting. The width between the left and right support tubes is adjusted using a screw, accommodating various pots with diameters ranging from 30 to 70 cm. Simultaneously, the insert tube is fixed to the inclined section of the support tube with bolts, allowing for adjustable clamping height to match both deep and shallow pots.

[0022] This utility model is easy to move. The locking plate fixes the casters to the horizontal section of the support tube. After being lifted, it can be pushed directly, avoiding dragging on the ground and abrading the bottom of the pot. The left and right support tubes are integrally formed. The handle section, longitudinal section, horizontal section and diagonal section of the left and right support tubes are continuously bent to improve the overall torsional rigidity. The rotation angle of the arc frame is constrained by the front limit plate and the rear limit plate to prevent excessive rotation from causing the potted plant to slip off.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0036] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants, comprising a left support tube 1, a right support tube 2, an upper sliding rod assembly 3, a lower sliding rod assembly 4, an adjustment assembly 5, and a clamping assembly 6.

[0037] The left and right support tubes are arranged in parallel and connected by an upper sliding rod assembly and a lower sliding rod assembly. The upper sliding rod assembly and the lower sliding rod assembly are arranged in parallel and clamping assemblies are inserted into the ends of the lower inclined tubes of the left and right support tubes.

[0038] An adjustment assembly is installed between the right support tube and the upper slide rod assembly, and the left support tube and the right support tube are adjusted in lateral distance through the adjustment assembly.

[0039] When the clamping components 6 on the left and right support tubes are inserted into both sides of the potted plant, the distance between the left and right support tubes is reduced by adjusting the handwheel on the component 5, thereby changing the distance between the clamping components on the left and right support tubes. When the clamping components on both sides are in contact with the potted plant, the edge plate of the potted plant acts as a shield, pressing down the left and right support tubes and lifting the clamping components, thereby lifting the potted plant through the two clamping components.

[0040] Specific Implementation Method Two: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants. The upper sliding rod assembly includes an upper insertion tube 31 and an upper insertion rod 32. The upper insertion rod is inserted into the upper insertion tube, and the end of the upper insertion tube is vertically and fixedly connected to the left support tube. The end of the upper insertion rod is vertically and fixedly connected to the right support tube.

[0041] The upper insertion tube and upper insertion rod adopt a square tube structure, and the length and width of the upper insertion tube are greater than the length and width of the upper insertion rod, so that the upper insertion rod can be inserted into the upper insertion tube. The end of the upper insertion tube is fixed to the side of the left support tube by welding, so that the upper insertion tube and the left support tube are perpendicular. The end of the upper insertion rod is fixed to the side of the right support tube by welding. Through the cooperation between the upper insertion tube and the upper insertion rod, the left support tube and the right support tube can be moved horizontally.

[0042] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants. The sliding rod assembly includes a lower insertion tube 41 and a lower insertion rod 42. The lower insertion rod is inserted into the lower insertion tube, and the end of the lower insertion tube is vertically and fixedly connected to the left support tube. The end of the lower insertion rod is vertically and fixedly connected to the right support tube.

[0043] The lower insertion tube and the lower insertion rod adopt a square tube structure, and the length and width of the lower insertion tube are greater than the length and width of the lower insertion rod, so that the lower insertion rod can be inserted into the lower insertion tube. The end of the lower insertion tube is fixed to the side of the left support tube by welding, so that the lower insertion tube and the left support tube are perpendicular. The end of the lower insertion rod is fixed to the side of the right support tube by welding. Through the cooperation between the lower insertion tube and the lower insertion rod, the left support tube and the right support tube can be moved horizontally.

[0044] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transfer device for transplanting potted plants. The adjustment assembly consists of a lead screw 51, a handwheel 52, a baffle 53, a threaded sleeve 54, and a bearing seat 55.

[0045] One end of the lead screw is connected to the handwheel, and the other end of the lead screw is connected to the baffle. The threaded structure of the lead screw is screwed into the threaded sleeve, and the smooth surface of the lead screw is installed in the bearing seat.

[0046] The threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the side of the upper insertion tube, and the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the right support tube.

[0047] The end of the lead screw is fixed to the handwheel by welding. The baffle is fixed to the end of the lead screw by welding. The lead screw and the threaded sleeve are threaded together. The threaded sleeve is fixed to the upper insertion tube side of the upper slide rod assembly by welding. The bearing seat is fixed to the longitudinal section of the right support tube by welding. Rotating the handwheel causes the lead screw to rotate. Due to the cooperation between the lead screw and the threaded sleeve, the distance between the left and right support tubes will change. After changing the distance, the potted plant can be inserted and clamped, which facilitates the transfer of the potted plant.

[0048] Specific Implementation Method Five: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants. The clamping assembly comprises an arc-shaped frame 61, an adhesive strip 62, an insertion tube 63, a front limiting plate 64, and a rear limiting plate 65.

[0049] The arc-shaped frame is rotatably connected to the insertion tube via a shaft. The front and rear limit plates are respectively connected to the insertion tube, and the arc-shaped frame has rubber strips on its arc surface.

[0050] The diameter of the insert tube is smaller than that of the left and right support tubes, allowing the outer surface of the insert tube to be inserted into the left and right support tubes. A set of adjustment holes are provided on the surface of the insert tube. When the insert tube is inserted into the support tube, the length of the insert tube inserted into the support tube is adjusted by inserting the bolt assembly into the adjustment holes of the insert tube, thus making it suitable for potted plants of different heights. The other side of the insert tube has a mounting hole for mounting an arc-shaped frame. The arc-shaped frame can be rotated on the insert tube by means of a shaft. The range of rotation is the angle defined between the front limit plate and the rear limit plate.

[0051] The front and rear limit plates are rectangular steel plate structures, and are fixed to the tube surface of the insertion tube by welding. The front and rear limit plates limit the arc frame.

[0052] Specific Implementation Method Six: Combination Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants. The left and right support pipes are circular tube structures, and the left and right support pipes are respectively a hand-holding section, a longitudinal section, a horizontal section, and an inclined section, and the hand-holding section, longitudinal section, horizontal section, and inclined section are integrally formed.

[0053] The longitudinal sections of the left and right support tubes are used to install the upper slide rod assembly, the lower slide rod assembly, and the adjustment assembly; the transverse sections of the left and right support tubes are used to install the locking plate; and the oblique sections of the left and right support tubes are used to install the clamping assembly.

[0054] Specific implementation method seven: Combination Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants. Locking plates are installed on the horizontal pipe sections of the left and right support pipes, and the locking plates are connected to the casters 7.

[0055] Locking plates are installed on the horizontal sections of the left and right support tubes. These locking plates are used to install the casters, facilitating the overall movement of the device.

[0056] Specific implementation method eight: Combination Figure 1 This embodiment describes a labor-saving transport device for transferring potted plants. The locking plate consists of a base plate 8, a U-shaped buckle 9, and a nut 10. The U-shaped buckle is inserted into a hole on the base plate and locked in place by the nut.

[0057] Working principle:

[0058] When transferring potted plants, the distance between the clamping components on the left and right support tubes is greater than the distance to the potted plant. The transfer device is pushed to the potted plant, positioning it between the two clamping components on the left and right support tubes. The adjustment component is then adjusted by turning the handwheel. The handwheel drives the lead screw to rotate. Because the lead screw and the threaded sleeve are engaged via a threaded structure, and the threaded sleeve is welded to the upper insertion tube, continuous rotation of the handwheel gradually decreases the distance between the left and right support tubes. When the distance between the left and right support tubes... The clamping component on the right support tube is located below the edge of the pot. At the same time, when the rubber strip of the arc frame is in contact with the outer pot body on both sides of the pot, the handles of the left and right support tubes are pressed down towards the adjustment component. At this time, the pot is lifted by the left and right support tubes, so that the pot is separated from the ground. The pot is moved by the casters on the transfer device. Through the lever principle of the left and right support tubes, the transfer of the pot can be completed quickly, saving time and effort.
