Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal parts transportation technology, specifically, to a sheet metal parts transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold working process for thin metal sheets, including shearing, punching, cutting, compounding, bending, welding, riveting, splicing, and forming. Its significant characteristic is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Products processed by sheet metal processing are called sheet metal parts. In the production process of sheet metal parts, finished or semi-finished sheet metal parts need to be transported from one location to another using a transport device.

[0003] However, there is a significant gap between the technological development of existing sheet metal parts transportation devices and actual needs, making it difficult to balance safety, efficiency, and applicability during transportation. Currently, most sheet metal parts transportation devices on the market are crudely designed. For example, traditional flatbed transport racks only fix sheet metal parts by simple binding or placement, lacking targeted protective structures. Under bumpy road conditions or sudden stops and turns, sheet metal parts are prone to sliding and collisions, resulting in surface scratches, deformation, or even breakage.

[0004] Therefore, the problem that this utility model urgently needs to solve is to provide a sheet metal transport device that can fix sheet metal parts in multiple ways during use and prevent the sheet metal parts from being scratched or deformed due to sliding or collision during transportation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the lack of targeted protective structures in the existing technology.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0019] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-9 As shown, a sheet metal parts transport device includes: a storage rack 100, within which multiple sets of adjustable-spaced support plates 102 for clamping and fixing sheet metal parts of different sizes are arranged via an adjustment mechanism 200; and protective mechanisms 400 for protecting the sheet metal parts are fixedly provided on the mutually spaced sides of the storage rack 100. The protective mechanism 400 includes: a fixed rod 401 fixedly disposed on the side of the storage rack 100, a second connecting rod 402 hinged to the fixed rod 401, a protective rod 403 hinged to the top of the second connecting rod 402 and disposed parallel to the fixed rod 401 for protection, and a locking component 500 for fixing the position of the protective rod 403 on the second connecting rod 402 and the protective rod 403.

[0021] In use, the sheet metal transport device is placed in the loading area. The spacing of the support plates 102 is adjusted using the adjustment mechanism 200 according to the size of the sheet metal to be transported. Specifically, the power unit driving the adjustment mechanism 200 causes the support plates 102 to slide along the track within the storage rack 100, ensuring the spacing between adjacent support plates 102 matches the width of the sheet metal, thus preparing for fixing the sheet metal. The sheet metal is then placed stably on the adjusted support plates 102, providing initial support. Subsequently, the protective mechanism 400 is deployed, and the second connecting rod 402 is rotated around the fixed rod 401 to adjust the angle to a suitable position. Then, the protective rod 403 is rotated so that it is parallel to the fixed rod 401 and close to the side of the sheet metal part. The locking component 500 is operated to insert the locking rod 506 into the corresponding locking hole 502 to fix the position of the protective rod 403, so that the protective rod 403 cooperates with the support plate 102 to form a stable clamp on the sheet metal part from the side and bottom, preventing the sheet metal part from shaking or shifting during transportation.

[0022] Reference Figures 8-9 As shown, the locking assembly 500 includes: a locking head 501 fixedly sleeved on the second connecting rod 402, the locking head 501 having a locking hole 502, a fixing sleeve 503 fixedly sleeved on the protective rod 403, a spring 504 fixedly sleeved inside the fixing sleeve 503, a pressing plate 505 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the spring 504, a guide groove 507 for sliding the pressing plate 505 on the inner sidewall of the fixing sleeve 503, and a locking rod 506 fixedly sleeved on the bottom surface of the pressing plate 505 for cooperating with the locking hole 502.

[0023] In the above scheme, after adjusting the position of the protective rod 403, press down on the pressing plate 505. The pressing plate 505 slides in the guide groove 507, compressing the spring 504. As the pressing plate 505 moves down, the locking rod 506 fixed on its bottom surface is inserted into the locking hole 502 on the locking head 501, thereby locking the protective rod 403 with the second connecting rod 402 and fixing the protective rod 403 in the required position. When it is necessary to unlock, pull up on the pressing plate 505. The spring 504 returns to its original deformation, causing the pressing plate 505 and the locking rod 506 to move up, so that the locking rod 506 disengages from the locking hole 502, releasing the fixed state of the protective rod 403.

[0024] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the side of the locking head 501 is an inclined surface for the locking rod 506 to slide.

[0025] In the above scheme, when the locking assembly 500 is used to fix the protective rod 403, the pressing plate 505 is pressed down, causing the locking rod 506 to move down. Since the side of the locking head 501 is inclined, when the locking rod 506 contacts the inclined surface of the locking head 501, the guiding force generated by the inclined surface will guide the locking rod 506 to slide along the inclined surface and smoothly insert into the locking hole 502, thereby locking the protective rod 403 and the second connecting rod 402. When it is necessary to unlock, the pressing plate 505 is pulled up, the spring 504 is reset, and the locking rod 506 is pulled upward. The locking rod 506 slides out of the locking hole 502 along the inclined surface of the locking head 501, releasing the fixed state of the protective rod 403.

[0026] Reference Figures 3-4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 200 includes: a drive shaft 202 rotatably disposed within the storage rack 100, a plurality of drive grooves 203 being formed on the circumferential surface of the drive shaft 202, a connecting rod 204 fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the support plate 102, a drive rod 205 cooperating with the drive grooves 203 being fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting rod 204, and a servo motor 201 with its output shaft horizontally disposed and its top end fixedly connected to the drive shaft 202 being fixedly disposed on the storage rack 100.

[0027] In the above scheme, the sheet metal transport device is parked at the designated position, and the drive shaft 202 is confirmed to be in an operable state. Based on the width of the sheet metal part to be transported, the required spacing of the support plates 102 is determined, and the drive shaft 202 is rotated within the storage rack 100 via the servo motor 201. As the drive shaft 202 rotates, the drive groove 203 on its circumferential surface also rotates synchronously. Since the connecting rod 204 on the bottom surface of the support plate 102 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 205, and the drive rod 205 cooperates with the drive groove 203, when the drive shaft 202 rotates, the shape change of the drive groove 203 will drive the drive rod 205 to move, thereby causing the connecting rod 204 to pull the support plate 102 to slide in a straight line within the storage rack 100. By controlling the rotation angle and number of rotations of the drive shaft 202, the spacing between multiple support plates 102 can be precisely adjusted to adapt to the width requirements of sheet metal parts of different sizes.

[0028] Reference Figures 3-4 As shown, a rubber pad is fixedly provided on the upper side of the support plate 102 that contacts the sheet metal part.

[0029] In the above solution, when the sheet metal part is placed on the support plate 102, the side of the sheet metal part contacts the rubber pad on the support plate 102. The rubber pad deforms due to its own elasticity and fits tightly against the surface of the sheet metal part. As the sheet metal part is placed, the rubber pad continuously provides cushioning and friction, and always maintains stable support and protection for the sheet metal part during storage, preventing the sheet metal part from sliding or being damaged by collision.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage rack 100 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 300 for limiting sheet metal parts of different heights. The lifting mechanism 300 includes: mounting grooves 302 vertically opened on the mutually spaced sides of the storage rack 100; a threaded rod 303 is rotatably installed in each mounting groove 302; a threaded block 304 is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod 303 and slides with the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 302; a limiting frame 103 is fixedly installed on the threaded block 304; a rotary motor 301 with its output shaft vertically downward and its top end fixedly connected to the threaded rod 303 is fixedly installed at the top of the storage rack 100; and the two sets of threaded rods 303 are connected by a transmission belt 305.

[0031] In the above scheme, the rotary motor 301 is started according to the height of the sheet metal part. The output shaft of the rotary motor 301 drives the threaded rod 303 connected to it to rotate. Since the two sets of threaded rods 303 are connected by a transmission belt 305, the two sets of threaded rods 303 rotate synchronously. When the threaded rod 303 rotates, the threaded block 304 moves vertically up and down along the threaded rod 303 under the limit of the inner side wall of the mounting groove 302. The movement of the threaded block 304 drives the limit frame 103 fixedly installed on it to rise and fall until the limit frame 103 is adjusted to a suitable height, so as to limit and fix the top of the sheet metal parts of different heights.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-2 As shown, the bottom surface of the storage rack 100 is fixedly provided with multiple sets of self-locking casters 101 at intervals, and the sides of the rack that are far apart from each other are respectively fixed with handles 104 and light strips 105.

[0033] In the above scheme, when it is necessary to transfer the sheet metal parts transport device, first release the self-locking state of the caster wheel 101. The operator holds the handle 104 and applies force to the storage rack 100 by pushing or pulling the handle 104. Since the caster wheel 101 can rotate freely 360 degrees, the storage rack 100 can move flexibly in any direction on the ground, easily passing through narrow passages or bypassing obstacles, moving the device to the designated position. When the device reaches the target position, the self-locking function of the caster wheel 101 is activated to brake and fix it. At this time, the storage rack 100 is stably stationary in place, and even if it is subjected to external force collision or vibration during transportation, it will not slide or shift, ensuring the stability of subsequent loading of sheet metal parts and transportation. In warehouse environments with insufficient light or when operating at night, turn on the power switch of the light strip 105. The light strip 105 illuminates along the side of the storage rack 100, providing local lighting and illuminating the area around the storage rack 100. This helps operators clearly observe the loading position of the sheet metal parts, the status of the adjustment mechanism 200, and the operational details of the protective mechanism 400, assisting in the loading and fixing of the sheet metal parts.

[0034] In summary, the sheet metal transport device provided by this utility model allows the operator to release the self-locking state of the universal wheels 101 on the bottom surface of the storage rack 100, hold the handle 104, push or pull the storage rack 100 to the designated position, and then activate the self-locking function of the universal wheels 101 to fix it in place. Based on the width of the sheet metal part to be transported, the adjustment mechanism 200 is activated, the drive shaft 202 rotates, and through the cooperation of the drive groove 203 and the drive rod 205, the support plate 102 is moved, adjusting the spacing between adjacent support plates 102 to fit the width of the sheet metal part; then, based on the height of the sheet metal part, the lifting mechanism 300 is activated, the rotary motor 301 drives the threaded rod 303 to rotate, and the threaded block 304 rises and falls along the mounting groove 302, driving the limit frame 103 to adjust to a suitable height; the second connecting rod 402 in the protective mechanism 400 is rotated to adjust its angle around the fixed rod 401; then the protective rod 403 is rotated to make it parallel to the fixed rod 401 and close to the side where the sheet metal part is expected to be placed; the pressing plate 505 of the locking assembly 500 is pressed down to compress the spring 504, so that the locking rod 506 is smoothly inserted into the locking hole 502 along the inclined surface of the side of the locking head 501, fixing the position of the protective rod 403 and unfolding the protective barrier. If operating in a low-light environment, turn on the light strip 105 for auxiliary lighting; place the sheet metal part stably on the support plate 102 with the spacing adjusted, the rubber pad on the support plate 102 contacts the sheet metal part, providing cushioning and increasing friction to initially support the sheet metal part; start the lifting mechanism 300 to lower the limiting frame 103 until it contacts the top of the sheet metal part, limiting the sheet metal part from the vertical direction; at this time, the support plate 102, the limiting frame 103 and the protective mechanism 400 cooperate to form a stable clamp on the sheet metal part from the bottom, top and side, ensuring that the sheet metal part will not shake or shift during transportation.
