Description

Cargo transportation device

Technical Field

The present utility model relates to a cargo transportation device, and more particularly, to a cargo transportation device capable of loading and unloading cargo.

Background

When a transport vehicle (for example, a forklift) is used to transport the cargo, it is necessary to use the cargo-moving device in cooperation with a pallet or the like. The goods are placed on the pallet, the vehicle lifts the pallet, and the pallet is put down after being carried to a designated place. In the case of heavy goods, the removal of the goods from the pallet is a further problem.

One method currently used is to further use a machine to lift the object off the pallet, but this approach requires additional machine assistance, is time consuming and costly, and especially for some small space locations, the machine cannot be accessed. Another approach is to lift the cargo off the pallet by a plurality of persons first and then translate the cargo off the pallet, but this approach is time consuming and laborious and involves the risk of the cargo falling.

Although the drawings are provided to present some embodiments of the utility model, the drawings are not necessarily to scale and certain features may be exaggerated, removed, or partially sectioned to better illustrate and explain the present disclosure.

Certain directional terms used hereinafter to describe the drawings should be understood to have their normal meaning and refer to those directions which are involved in normal viewing of the drawings. Where "upper" and "lower" refer to the upper and lower directions viewed at the angle of fig. 2, "longitudinal" refers to the length direction of the object, and "transverse" refers to the width direction of the object.

Fig. 1 and 2 show a perspective view and a front view, respectively, of a cargo transferring device according to the utility model. The cargo transferring device is configured to include a transferring plate 4 and at least two supporting legs for supporting the transferring plate 4.

In particular, the transport plate 4 is configured to extend in a longitudinal direction L (see fig. 3) having two ends, i.e., a first end 41 and a second end 42, arranged opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction L. The transport plate 4 further comprises an upper side 43 and a lower side 44. In transporting the goods, the goods will first be loaded onto the upper side 43 of the transport plate 4 and unloaded from this upper side 43 after transport to the destination.

The support legs will be attached to the underside 44 of the transport plate 4 to support the transport plate 4 from vertically below, at least two support legs being fixed to the underside 44 of the transport plate 4 at intervals along the longitudinal direction L of the transport plate 4. It should be noted here that "fixed" in this context means that the two components cannot move any relative to each other after being connected, and that it is not directly relevant whether the connection is detachable or not.

The at least two support legs comprise a first support leg 1 and a second support leg 2. Wherein the first support leg 1 is arranged vertically below the first end 41 of the transport plate 4 and the second support leg 2 is arranged vertically below the second end 42 of the transport plate 4. The first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2, which are arranged at the opposite ends in the longitudinal direction, are sufficient to raise the transport plate 4 a certain height in relation to the ground. The vertical heights of the first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2 are equal, whereby the transport plate 4 can be maintained in a horizontally extended state (provided that the entire transport device is arranged on one horizontal plane) when both the first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2 are mounted to the lower side 44 of the transport plate 4.

Wherein at least one of the first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2 is designed to be detachably attached to the underside 44 of the transport plate 4. In the description of the detachable first support leg 1, the first support leg 1 may be connected to the transport plate 4, for example by means of self-tapping screws, bolt-nut assemblies or angle-iron connections, etc. When using self-tapping screws, the self-tapping screws can be first screwed into the transport plate 4 and then into the first support leg 1 from vertically above the transport plate 4. When the bolt-nut assembly is adopted, threaded holes can be formed in the corresponding positions of the transport plate 4 and the first support leg 1 in advance, the nuts are buried in the first support leg 1, and the bolts are screwed into the transport plate 4 and the first support leg 1 and are engaged with the nuts in the first support leg 1 during installation. When an angle iron connection is used, one side of the angle iron may be connected to the upper side of the transport plate 4 by means of screws, and the other side of the angle iron may also be connected to the first support leg 1 by means of screws. The use of angle irons provides additional stability to the connection of the first support leg 1 to the transport plate 4. The detachable connection between the second support leg 2 and the transport plate 4 can refer to the first support leg 1, and will not be described herein.

When it is desired that the cargo 10 on the transport plate 4 leaves the transport plate 4 from the first end 41, the first support leg 1 can be designed to be detachably connected to the transport plate 4. The second support leg 2 may be designed to be detachably connected to the transport plate 4 when it is desired that the cargo 10 on the transport plate 4 leaves the transport plate 4 from the second end 42. When it is not certain from which end the load 10 is to leave the transport plate 4, both the first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2 can be designed to be detachably connected to the transport plate 4, whereby the user can choose which support leg to remove at discharge according to the actual need.

The cargo transferring device further comprises a third support leg 3 arranged between the first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2 in the longitudinal direction L. Preferably, the third support leg 3 is arranged in an intermediate position, i.e. the first longitudinal spacing of the third support leg 3 from the first support leg 1 is equal to the second longitudinal spacing of the third support leg 3 from the second support leg 2. The vertical height of the third support leg 3 cannot be greater than the vertical heights of the first and second support legs.

When unloading the load 10 as shown in fig. 6 (with the first support leg 1 removed), in the absence of the third support leg 3, the height of the second support leg 2 will determine the angle of the transport plate 4 to the ground, i.e. the unloading angle θ, although not shown, as will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art. When the third support leg 3 is present and the third support leg 3 and the second support leg 2 have the same vertical height as shown in fig. 6, the third support leg 3 will become a support in contact with the ground when the transport plate 4 is inclined downwards towards the first end, the second support leg 2 being separated from the ground by a certain height. If it is desired to adjust the inclination angle θ at the time of unloading thereof according to the weight or volume of the cargo 10 to be transported, etc., the vertical height of the third support leg 3 can be adaptively reduced.

Of course, it is also possible to arrange more support legs between the first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2 as desired.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3 in combination, the cargo transferring device further comprises a first stop mechanism 5 arranged at the first end 41 and a second stop mechanism 6 arranged at the second end 42. The first stop means 5 serve to prevent the goods 10 from leaving the transport plate 4 from the first end 41 and the second stop means 6 serve to prevent the goods 10 from leaving the transport plate 4 from the second end 42. Further, a third stop mechanism 7 and a fourth stop mechanism 8 may be disposed at opposite ends of the transport plate 4 in the transverse direction T, respectively, according to actual use requirements. The stop means extend a distance from the upper side 43 of the transport plate 4 to prevent further movement of the load 10 when the load 10 is moved to the stop means.

In order to allow the cargo 10 to leave the corresponding end of the transport plate 4 when unloading, the first stop mechanism 5 is correspondingly detachably attached to the transport plate 4 when the first support leg 1 is designed to be detachably attached to the transport plate 4. When the second support leg 2 is designed to be detachably attached to the transport plate 4, the second stop mechanism 6 is correspondingly detachably attached to the transport plate 4. When both the first support leg 1 and the second support leg 2 are detachably attached to the transport plate 4, the first stopper mechanism 5 and the second stopper mechanism 6 are also detachably attached to the transport plate 4. Thus, during unloading, the corresponding stop mechanisms should be removed before, after, or simultaneously with removal of the corresponding support legs to allow the cargo 10 to slide down.

The stop mechanism may be detachably connected to the transport plate 4 by, for example, self-tapping screws or bolt-nut assemblies.

Preferably, the first and second stop means are each designed to be attached to the upper side 43 from vertically above the respective end. Of course other forms of stop mechanisms, such as rail-like members attached to the corresponding end surfaces, will also occur to those of skill in the art.

The following description will be given by taking an example in which the first support leg 1 is detachably attached to the transport plate 4, the second support leg 2 is non-detachably attached to the transport plate 4, the first stopper mechanism 5 is detachably attached to the transport plate 4, and the second stopper mechanism 6 is non-detachably mounted to the transport plate 4. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that when the second support leg 2 is also designed to be detachably connected to the transport plate 4, the following description of the first support leg 1 also applies to the second support leg 2 and the following description of the first stop mechanism 5 also applies to the second stop mechanism 6.

Referring particularly to fig. 3, the first stopper mechanism 5 is configured to include a first stopper 51 extending along the transverse direction T of the transport plate 4 and a second stopper 52 extending along the longitudinal direction L of the transport plate 4, the first stopper 51 and the second stopper 52 constituting a T-shaped configuration, and being fixedly connected at a position where they intersect. Of course, the first stopper 51 and the second stopper 52 may be an integral piece.

The first stop 51 is primarily intended to prevent the cargo 10 from exiting the first end 41. The second stop 52 extends from the first stop 51 all the way towards the centre of the transport plate 4, the length of the second stop 52 being such as to allow it to extend under the load 10 when the load 10 is arranged in a central position on the transport plate 4. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art herein that the bottom surface of the heavier cargo will typically be raised off the ground by means of rollers or feet or the like for ease of transportation or heat dissipation and the like. The second stop 52 extends into the space below the cargo 10, i.e., between the rollers or feet.

In the unloading process, when the first supporting leg 1 is removed to enable the transport plate 4 to incline downwards towards the first end 41 as shown in fig. 6, if the cargo 10 is located at the center position on the transport plate 4 or at a position deviated to the first end 41 before unloading, after the first supporting leg 1 and the first stopping mechanism 5 are removed, the cargo 10 will rapidly slide off the transport plate 4 due to the short distance between the cargo 10 and the first end, which is disadvantageous for the safe unloading of the cargo 10, and may also pose a threat to the personal safety of operators in case of heavy cargo 10. Thus, it is desirable to move the cargo 10 on the transport plate 4 to a position closer to the second end 42 as shown in fig. 4 prior to unloading, extending the distance the cargo 10 moves to the first end 41 after tilting the transport plate 4, giving the operator more time to operate.

The second stop 52 can be regarded as a safety discharge position indicator. Before the first support leg 1 is removed, the cargo 10 is moved in the direction of the second end 42 until the second stopper 52 is completely exposed, after which the first stopper 51 and the second stopper 52 are removed, and the transport plate 4 is tilted. The design of the second stop 52 to be able to extend under the load 10 when the load 10 is arranged in a central position on the transport plate 4 is such that the second stop 52 is only allowed to be completely exposed if the load 10 is off-center in the direction towards the second end.

As shown in fig. 3, a detachable connection location may be provided at the end of the second stopper 52 remote from the first stopper 51. Thus, the second stopper 52 cannot be detached in the case where the moving distance of the cargo 10 toward the second end 42 is insufficient to expose the entire end portion of the second stopper 52 extending below the cargo 10. Since the first stopper 51 and the second stopper 52 are fixedly connected, the first stopper 51 cannot be detached even if the second stopper 52 cannot be detached. That is, the first stop mechanism 5 must be removed after the cargo 10 has been moved to a safe position toward the second end 42.

One detachable connection position may be provided at each of both end portions of the first stopper 51. Preferably, the first stop 51 and the first support leg 1 are connected to the transport plate 4 from the upper side 43 and the lower side 44 of the transport plate 4, respectively, by means of a common connecting means. Such as a screw or nut. Although it is theoretically possible to achieve the connection requirement of three by one screw or nut, two or more screws or nuts are usually provided for reliability and the like. Taking a screw as an example, the common screw 9 can be screwed into the first stopper 51, the transport plate 4 and the first support leg 1 sequentially from the vertically upper side of the first stopper 51, thereby realizing the connection of the three. The common screw is adopted to improve the dismounting and mounting speed of the first supporting leg and the first stop piece. This is only a preferred example, and the first support leg 1 and the first stopper 51 may also be attached to the transport plate 4 independently of each other.

Referring now to fig. 4-6, a simplified method of operation of the cargo conveyance according to the present utility model when unloading is described.

First, as shown in fig. 4, the cargo 10 is moved on the transport plate 4 toward the second end 42 in the arrow direction until the end of the second stopper 52 remote from the first stopper 51 is completely exposed;

a second step, as shown in fig. 5, of detaching the first stopper mechanism 5 and the first support leg 1 from the transport plate 4;

third, as shown in fig. 6, the first end 41 is inclined downward to change the transport plate 4 into a discharge slope;

fourth, as shown in fig. 6, the cargo 10 is pushed toward the first end 41 in the arrow direction until the cargo 10 exits from the first end 41.

The cargo transportation device can be transported by equipment such as a forklift and transported by a vehicle, and can be used as a unloading device without the assistance of other transporting equipment or tools, so that the cost and the operation space are saved. When unloading, the goods can slide down easily from the transport plate, and whole unloading process labour saving and time saving, the security is high. While the cargo in the figures is illustrated as a UPS with rollers, the cargo transporter herein is suitable for transporting and unloading all conformable objects, particularly heavy objects.
