Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transfer equipment technology, specifically a cotton compression bale transfer vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] In cotton processing plants, cotton is typically processed through a series of steps, including impurity removal and seed removal, before being compressed and packaged into cotton bales. These compressed cotton bales are generally rectangular or cubic in shape, and due to their weight, manual handling is clearly insufficient. Currently, cotton bales need to be transferred to specific locations after compression and packaging, and this is currently done using small forklifts. However, small forklifts are inconvenient to operate within the plant, often leading to a backlog of compressed cotton bales after production, hindering timely transfer, and sometimes even posing a risk of hitting machinery. Furthermore, forklifts are cumbersome, and transfers within the processing plant are typically short-distance, so prolonged use actually slows down transport efficiency. Therefore, a device is needed to facilitate short-distance transfers within limited space. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides a device that facilitates short-distance transfer within a limited space, thereby solving the problems of bulky and dangerous handling of cotton bales in existing cotton processing plants.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a cotton compression bale transfer vehicle, including a frame, wheels, and handlebars. The frame consists of two horizontally arranged square tubes. The two wheels are rotatably connected by a horizontal shaft. Support rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the frame. The other ends of the two support rods intersect and are fixedly connected to the horizontal shaft. Horizontal bars perpendicular to the frame are fixedly connected to both ends of the frame. Several rollers are rotatably connected between the two horizontal bars. A vertically arranged support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the frame. One end of the handlebars is fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal bars. The handlebars are horizontally arranged and located on the same side as the support leg.
[0005] Furthermore, at least four rollers are evenly spaced between the two crossbars, and the lowest point of each roller is higher than the upper surface of the frame.
[0006] Furthermore, the two ends of the roller shaft are rotatably connected to the crossbar via bearings, and the roller shaft is offset to one side of the crossbar.
[0007] Furthermore, the crossbar is configured as a U-shaped groove with an outward opening, and one end of the handlebar is fixedly connected to the U-shaped groove.
[0008] Furthermore, a cross-shaped fixing rod is provided between the two legs.
[0009] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0010] 1. This utility model provides a hand-push transfer cart to replace the original forklift, enabling more flexible and convenient transfer of cotton bales within the processing plant area. By setting rotatable rollers between the crossbars, the loading and unloading of cotton bales is facilitated. The lightweight nature of the hand cart improves transfer efficiency while saving costs.
[0011] 2. This utility model can increase the stability of the support legs by setting a cross-shaped fixing rod, ensuring that the two support legs are always parallel. By setting the right end of the roller shaft overall offset rod, it is easy for the transfer vehicle to maintain overall balance and for loading and unloading to be convenient.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 3The cotton bale transfer cart shown includes a frame 1, wheels 3, and handlebars 8. The frame 1 consists of two horizontally arranged square tubes. The two wheels 3 are rotatably connected by a horizontal shaft 9. Bearings are fixedly connected to both ends of the horizontal shaft 9, and the wheels 3 are rotatably connected to the bearings. To connect the frame and the wheels, support rods 2 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the frame 1. The other ends of the two support rods 2 intersect and are fixedly connected to the horizontal shaft 9. To improve the stability of the device and reduce local support force, the included angle between the two support rods is 60°, forming an equilateral triangle with the frame 1. To support the rotation of the roller shaft 7, the frame 1... Both ends of the frame 1 are fixedly connected to crossbars 4 perpendicular to the frame. The crossbars 4 have a certain height and thickness to support the cotton compression bales above. To facilitate loading and unloading of the cotton compression bales and reduce the friction between the cotton compression bales and the transfer vehicle, several rollers 7 are rotatably connected between the two crossbars 4. To facilitate support of the transfer vehicle, vertically arranged support legs 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom right end of the frame 1. The two support legs 5 are of the same length and parallel. One end of the handlebar 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the right crossbar 4. The handlebar 8 is horizontally arranged and located on the same side of the support legs 5, and the two handlebars 8 are parallel to each other.
[0018] In order to fully support the cotton compression bale, at least four rollers 7 are evenly spaced between the two crossbars 4. In this embodiment, five identical rollers 7 are provided, and each roller 7 is located on the same horizontal plane. In order to prevent the rollers 7 from rubbing against the frame when rotating, the bottom of each roller 7 is set higher than the upper surface of the frame 1.
[0019] To increase service life, the two ends of the roller 7 are rotatably connected to the crossbar 4 via bearings. To facilitate loading on one side and unloading on the other, the roller 7 is positioned on the right side of the crossbar 4, with a certain amount of space reserved at one end of the opposite crossbar 4 to facilitate loading. This not only avoids the cotton bales being too heavy and causing the vehicle to become unbalanced, but also facilitates better loading and unloading.
[0020] To facilitate fixing both ends of the roller shaft 7, the crossbar 4 is set as a U-shaped groove with the opening facing outwards, and one end of the handlebar 8 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped groove.
[0021] To keep the two support legs 5 parallel and prevent them from bending when bearing heavy loads, a cross-shaped fixing rod 6 is installed between the two support legs 5.
[0022] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] After the cotton is compressed into square bales by the compressor, the bales are conveyed to the baling machine for baling. After baling, the bales are sent out by the conveyor belt. During this process, the height of the transfer cart must not be higher than the conveyor belt. The transfer cart is moved to the output end of the conveyor belt and then placed horizontally on the rollers 7. After a certain inertia, the cotton bales move forward and fall smoothly onto all the rollers 7. At this time, the operator grabs the handle 8 and pulls the transfer cart to move the cotton bales to the storage location. Once the location is reached, the operator only needs to push the cotton bales at the notched end of the crossbar 4. The cotton bales move under the rolling of the rollers 7 below and are unloaded from the other end of the crossbar 4. This saves transfer time and avoids the risks of forklift transfer. The above steps are repeated continuously. The time it takes for the transfer cart to make one round trip is exactly the time it takes for the next cotton bale to come out. Only one person is needed, which also reduces the fuel cost of forklift operation. This improves the transfer speed and saves production costs.
