Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding vehicle technology, specifically a multi-functional material feeding vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] A material feeding cart is a mobile transport device used to move raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products from one process to another. It is widely used in production scenarios requiring continuous or precise material feeding, such as metallurgy, machining, building materials, injection molding, packaging, printing, and electronics manufacturing. Its core function is to automatically or semi-automatically handle, transport, and feed materials to reduce manual handling and improve production efficiency and safety. Existing material feeding carts (publication number: CN223212277U) have at least the following shortcomings in use: 1. Workers rely on experience to judge the loading, which may lead to overloading at one time, causing motor overload, excessive load on hydraulic cylinders, accelerated wear of key components (drive wheels, shafts, rollers), and even structural deformation or overturning. Therefore, a multi-functional feeding cart with weighing capability is needed.

[0003] 2. Different materials vary greatly in volume and stacking height (e.g., loose powder, dense granules, and high-density lumps). A fixed compartment height will result in some materials reaching the compartment height before being fully loaded, leaving unused space. Conversely, if the material height is too low, the truck's capacity cannot be fully utilized, leading to a reduction in the amount transported per trip. Therefore, a multi-functional feeding truck with adjustable compartment height is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a multi-functional feeding cart that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A multi-functional feeding cart includes a frame, a vertical support rod, and a top surface mounted on the vertical support rod. A weighing platform is mounted on the frame, and an inner support rod is mounted on the weighing platform. The inner side of the inner support rod has several grooves, in which shelves can be installed. Braked casters are mounted on the bottom of the frame, a controller is mounted on the top surface, and a pusher is mounted on the side of the vertical support rod.

[0006] Preferably, a battery is installed at the bottom of the weighing platform, and the weighing platform is connected to the controller.

[0007] Preferably, several side rails are installed on both sides of the vehicle frame.

[0008] Preferably, the angle of inclination of the pusher is 45 degrees.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the groove is the same as the thickness of the layer plate.

[0010] Preferably, the shelf is a detachable structure and can be installed in any groove.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By installing a weighing platform and controller, real-time weighing can be performed while loading materials, and the data can be directly displayed or recorded. This avoids the risk of overload caused by loading too much material at once, thereby effectively preventing motor overheating, hydraulic cylinder overpressure, and wear of key components, and extending the service life of the entire vehicle.

[0012] 2. By installing adjustable grooves and shelves, operators can change the compartment height at any time according to the actual loading situation, so that each compartment can match the optimal stacking height of the current material, avoiding vacancy and waste caused by unsuitable height, and improving the efficiency of single transportation.

[0017] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-3 The present invention provides the following technical solution: A multi-functional feeding cart includes a frame 1, a vertical support rod 3, and a top surface 4 mounted on the frame 1. A weighing platform 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and an inner support rod 5 is mounted on the weighing platform 2. The inner support rod 5 has several grooves 6 on its inner side, and shelves 7 can be installed in the grooves 6. Brake casters 8 are mounted on the bottom of the frame 1. A controller 9 is mounted on the top surface 4, and a pusher 10 is mounted on the side of the vertical support rod 3.

[0018] Specifically: a battery is installed at the bottom of the weighing platform 2, and the weighing platform 2 is connected to the controller 9.

[0019] Specifically: Several side rails 301 are installed on both sides of the vehicle frame 1.

[0020] Specifically: the angle of inclination of the pusher 10 is 45 degrees.

[0021] Specifically, the height of the groove 6 is the same as the thickness of the layer plate 7.

[0022] Specifically: the layer 7 is a detachable structure, and the layer 7 is installed in any groove 6.

[0023] In this embodiment, a weighing platform 2 is installed on the frame 1, a controller 9 is installed on the top surface 4, and a battery is installed at the bottom of the weighing platform 2. The weighing platform 2 and the controller 9 are connected. This multi-functional weighing delivery vehicle integrates transportation, weighing, and storage functions through the comprehensive design of the frame 1, weighing platform 2, vertical support rod 3, detachable shelf 7, and controller 9. Compared with traditional delivery vehicles that rely on manual judgment, it has significant technical advantages and practical value. First, the weighing platform 2 on the frame 1 is connected to the bottom battery and controller 9, allowing for real-time weighing while loading materials and direct display or recording of the data. This eliminates the need for operators to estimate the loading volume based on experience; instead, precise electronic data control of material feeding avoids the risk of overloading due to excessive loading at one time, effectively preventing motor overheating, hydraulic cylinder overpressure, and wear of key components, thus extending the overall service life of the vehicle.

[0024] Secondly, real-time weighing significantly improves feeding accuracy. Whether in chemical, food, or pharmaceutical production environments requiring strict proportions, staff can complete quantitative loading and unloading based on the target weight set by the controller, ensuring consistency and stability in each feeding and preventing product quality issues caused by material imbalances. Simultaneously, weighing data can be stored or integrated into the factory's MES or ERP systems, facilitating material consumption statistics, cost accounting, and production traceability, reducing manual statistical errors and improving production management.

[0025] Overall, this multi-functional weighing feeding cart integrates multiple functions such as transportation, metering, safety protection, and data management. It also seamlessly connects with the data platform of a smart factory, helping companies achieve precise material feeding, energy conservation, and intelligent production. It effectively solves the pain point of traditional feeding carts that rely on experience to judge material loading, making it an ideal piece of equipment for modern workshops pursuing high efficiency, safety, and intelligent management.

[0026] In this embodiment, the inner support rod 5 has several grooves 6 on its inner side. Shelves 7 can be installed in the grooves 6. The height of the grooves 6 and the thickness of the shelves 7 are the same. The shelves 7 are detachable and can be installed in any of the grooves 6. This multi-functional feeding cart with adjustable spacing achieves flexible partitioning of storage space by setting several grooves 6 on the inner support rod 5 and using detachable shelves 7. Compared with traditional feeding carts with fixed compartment heights, it has significant structural advantages and application value.

[0027] First, it can flexibly adjust the storage space according to the volume, stacking height, and density of different materials, significantly improving space utilization. Traditional fixed compartment structures are often designed according to maximum demand. When dealing with powders, loose particles, or materials with high density, the compartment height may be too high or too low, resulting in idle upper space and limited lower space, and the loading capacity cannot be fully utilized. The adjustable groove 6 and shelf 7 design allows operators to change the compartment height at any time according to the actual loading situation, so that each compartment can match the optimal stacking height of the current material, avoiding vacancy and waste caused by unsuitable height, and improving the efficiency of single transportation.

[0028] Secondly, the design of the removable shelf 7 provides flexibility for multi-material compartmentalized transportation. When different materials need to be transported simultaneously, operators can adjust the height and capacity of each compartment according to the volume and weight of the materials, achieving "multiple transports in one vehicle," reducing the number of transport trips and vehicle dispatching frequency, and lowering energy consumption and labor costs. This flexible compartmentalization function is particularly useful for situations on the production line where multiple raw materials need to be replenished simultaneously, not only improving transportation efficiency but also avoiding the risk of cross-contamination and mixing between different materials.

[0029] Furthermore, the adjustable compartment structure helps optimize the center of gravity distribution and improve transportation safety. Different materials have significant differences in density and weight. By adjusting the compartment height, the volume ratio of materials in each compartment can be reasonably allocated, maintaining the center of gravity balance of the carriage during loading, reducing the risk of tipping over due to left-right or front-back imbalance, protecting the stable operation of key components such as motors, hydraulic cylinders, and brake casters, thereby extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0030] Furthermore, the shelf 7 is detachable, making cleaning and maintenance more convenient. When it is necessary to change transported materials or switch production tasks, the shelf 7 can be quickly removed and the position of the groove 6 adjusted, simplifying the internal cleaning process and shortening downtime. It is especially suitable for industries with high requirements for hygiene and cleanliness, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

[0031] Overall, this multi-functional material delivery vehicle with adjustable spacing outperforms traditional fixed compartment designs in terms of space utilization, transportation efficiency, safety, material management, and cleaning and maintenance. It not only adapts to multi-variety, small-batch production modes, but also provides a more flexible, efficient, and scalable material transportation solution for modern intelligent workshops.

[0032] 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. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
