Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of artificial turf packaging technology, specifically relating to an anti-tipping artificial turf packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial turf is available in rolls or blocks. For rolls, it is cut and laid on-site. For blocks, it needs to be stacked after production and packaged using a packing device.

[0003] Currently, artificial turf blocks are manually packed. First, multiple artificial turf blocks need to be stacked, and then packing is done using packing straps and a handheld packing machine. The above packing process has the following drawbacks: the artificial turf is prone to tipping over when stacking; the packing straps are inconvenient to pass under the artificial turf during packing; and after the artificial turf is packed horizontally, the entire crew needs to move to the left and right sides of the artificial turf before packing it vertically, which is time-consuming and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-tipping artificial turf packing device to solve the problems of artificial turf easily tipping over and being inconvenient to pack when stacked, as described in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-tipping artificial turf packing device, comprising a base for overall installation, a support platform, and an anti-tipping mechanism disposed on the upper surface of the support platform. A column is disposed at the center of the upper surface of the base. The support platform is installed on the upper end of the column and rotatably connected to the upper end of the column via a bearing. The upper surface of the support platform has a first groove and a second groove along its length and width directions, respectively, for the movement of the packing strap. The anti-tipping mechanism consists of multiple protective rods, which are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the support platform, forming a protective fence with an opening on one side. The lower ends of the protective rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform.

[0006] An auxiliary support mechanism for providing auxiliary support to the platform and a fixing mechanism for fixing the platform after it rotates are also provided between the base and the platform.

[0007] Preferably, the first groove and the second groove have the same depth, and the end faces of the first groove and the second groove are flush with the side of the support.

[0008] Preferably, the sidewall of the support platform at the intersection of the first groove and the second groove adopts an arc transition.

[0009] Preferably, the protective rod is n-shaped and is made of stainless steel.

[0010] Preferably, a gap is formed between two adjacent guard rods, and both the first groove and the second groove are located in the gap.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary support mechanism consists of multiple support columns, which are evenly distributed in a circle around the column. The lower end of each support column is fixedly connected to the base, and the upper end face of each support column has a hemispherical groove with a ball bearing installed in the groove. The ball bearing is in rolling connection with the lower surface of the support platform.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a cylinder and an annular groove formed on the lower surface of the support platform. The cylinder is installed on the side of any one of the support columns. A friction column is detachably installed on the upper end of the cylinder.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an anti-tipping artificial turf packing device, including a base 1 for overall installation, a support platform 2, and an anti-tipping mechanism set on the upper surface of the support platform 2. A column 3 is set at the center of the upper surface of the base 1. The support platform 2 is installed on the upper end of the column 3 and is rotatably connected to the upper end of the column 3 through a bearing. The upper surface of the support platform 2 has a first groove 4 and a second groove 5 for the movement of the packing strap along the length and width directions, respectively. The anti-tipping mechanism is composed of multiple protective rods 6. The multiple protective rods 6 are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the support platform 2 and form a protective fence with one side open. The lower end of the protective rods 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform 2. In addition, an auxiliary support mechanism for auxiliary support of the support platform 2 and a fixing mechanism for fixing the support platform 2 after rotation are also provided between the base 1 and the support platform.

[0025] Secondly, the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 have the same depth, and the end faces of the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 are flush with the side of the support platform 2. The side wall of the support platform 2 at the intersection of the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 adopts an arc transition, which makes it convenient for the packing strap to pass through the first groove 4 and the second groove 5.

[0026] Meanwhile, the number of first grooves 4 can be one or two. When there is one, the first groove 4 is located in the middle of the support platform 2. After the artificial turf is stacked to form a haystack, the packing straps are inserted into the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 and connected to the ends of the packing straps, so that the two packing straps are located in the middle of the side of the haystack. When there are two, the two first grooves 4 are respectively a certain distance away from the center of the support platform 2. When packing the haystack, the packing straps are inserted into the two first grooves 4 in sequence, so that both ends of the haystack (in the top view) are tied.

[0027] Furthermore, the protective pole 6 is n-shaped and made entirely of stainless steel. The upper end of the protective pole 6 has a rounded transition, which, compared to traditional straight protective poles, can prevent the lawn from being damaged by contact with the upper end of the protective pole during the stacking process. A gap is formed between two adjacent protective poles 6, and the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 are both located in the gap.

[0028] Furthermore, the auxiliary support mechanism consists of multiple support columns 7, which are evenly distributed in a circle around the column 3. The lower end of the support column 7 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the upper end face of the support column 7 is provided with a hemispherical groove 8, and a ball bearing 9 is installed in the hemispherical groove 8. The ball bearing 9 is in rolling connection with the lower surface of the support platform 2.

[0029] As another implementation, the multiple support columns 7 and the upper ball bearings 9 can adopt the structure of mounting base and thrust ball bearing. While providing auxiliary support for the bearing platform 2, it can ensure relative rotation between them. However, since the mounting base should be sleeved on the outside of the column 3 as a whole, when installing the cylinder 10 of the fixing mechanism, the cylinder 10 can only be fixed on the outer side of the mounting base. When using the auxiliary support mechanism, the cylinder 10 can be installed on the inner or outer side of the auxiliary support mechanism.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a cylinder 10 and an annular groove 12 formed on the lower surface of the support 2. The cylinder 10 is installed on the side of any one of the support columns 7. A friction column 11 made of rubber is detachably installed on the upper end of the cylinder 10. The annular groove 12 is fitted onto the outer side of the upper end of the column 3 and is located directly above the friction column 11. The cross-sectional shape of the annular groove 12 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the friction column 11.

[0031] It should be noted that the cylinder in this application is a power actuator that converts the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy. It can be connected to an external air pipe and a solenoid valve and drive the piston to perform linear reciprocating motion by controlling the gas inlet and outlet. It can be used in conjunction with a magnetic switch, proximity switch or photoelectric switch to achieve precise control of the cylinder piston rod extension and retraction displacement. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0032] The lower end of the friction column 11 is fixedly provided with a connecting plate for connecting with the cylinder 10. The connecting plate and the free end of the cylinder 10 are detachably connected by mechanical structures such as bolts. After long-term use, the friction column 11 will wear down due to friction with the support 2, resulting in reduced friction. If the support 2 cannot be fixed, the friction column 11 can be quickly replaced.

[0033] The friction column 11 is shaped like a frustum or a cylinder. Under the action of the cylinder 10, the friction column 11 moves upward until it is in the annular groove 12. At this time, the side of the friction column 11 abuts against the inner wall of the annular groove 12. The bearing platform 2 is fixed by the friction between the friction column 11 and the inner wall of the annular groove 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the friction post 11 is shaped like a frustum, which greatly increases the contact area with the annular groove 12 compared to a cylinder, thereby increasing the friction force. At the same time, when the cylinder 10 drives the friction post 11 to move upward, the frustum-shaped friction post 11 is more likely to enter the annular groove 12.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Place the entire device on the ground, rotate the platform 2 so that the opening of the protective fence faces the loading area, and then place the artificial turf on the upper surface of the platform 2 in sequence. Under the action of the protective fence, the artificial turf after stacking can be effectively prevented from tipping over. After stacking, personnel use a handheld electric packer to pack the artificial turf. Finally, the packed artificial turf is removed from the opening of the protective fence.

[0036] When stacking artificial turf, the grass fibers of the bottom layer of artificial turf should be placed upwards to avoid the grass fibers being in the first groove 4 or the second groove 5, which would affect the subsequent insertion of the packing straps. The grass fibers of the top layer of artificial turf should be placed downwards to avoid the packing straps directly pressing on the grass fibers, which could cause the grass fibers to deform or be damaged.

[0037] During packaging, personnel insert one end of the strapping into the first groove 4 and the second groove 5, and then connect the two ends of the same strapping using a handheld electric strapping machine. The handheld electric strapping machine is mainly used to tighten and heat-seal the strapping. After the artificial turf is horizontally fixed, the support platform is rotated 90° around the column 3 to adjust the horizontal placement angle of the artificial turf, which facilitates the longitudinal fixing of the artificial turf.

[0038] During the stacking, packaging, and removal of the artificial turf, the control cylinder 10 operates. Under the action of the cylinder 10, the friction post 11 moves upward as a whole until it enters the annular groove 12. The friction between the friction post 11 and the annular groove 12 fixes the entire support platform 2, ensuring the stability of the support platform 2 and the artificial turf above it.

[0039] Finally, the following points should be noted: In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connection, or internal connection between two components, or direct connection. "Up", "down", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate relative positional relationship. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may change.

[0040] The electronic components and modules used in this utility model can all be parts that are commonly used in the market and can achieve the specific functions in this case. The specific models and sizes can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
