Description

In-situ steering machine

The present invention relates to a transporter that can be turned in situ, and more particularly to a transporter for the automotive industry or the transportation industry.

Nowadays, people are accustomed to using various modes of transportation. Although the convenience of life has increased, with the shortage of petroleum energy and the rise of people's awareness of environmental protection, there seems to be room for improvement in traditional vehicles powered by engines. Therefore, motor-powered electric vehicles are booming and accepted by the public. The icing on the cake is that the EPD is also expected to replace all of the more than 6,000 diesel buses in the entire fleet into electric buses within 10 years. This shows that the potential of electric vehicles is endless.

Since the battery for electric vehicles has a small capacity and it takes a long time to charge, it is generally charged from the family car in the case of commuting; but in terms of the electric bus, the size of the hinterland of the charging station and the convenience in actual use are taken into consideration. How to efficiently charge an electric bus is a big problem. At present, most of the batteries for electric bus vehicles are disassembled from the electric bus and placed in the charging station for charging, while the electric bus is replaced with another battery that has been charged. After the battery in the charging station is completed, the charging operation is performed. Returned to the electric bus for use in the charging station or spared in the charging station; however, since the battery for the vehicle is large in size and heavy in weight, the handling and loading and unloading of the battery for the vehicle is quite wasteful of manpower and man-hours, and is dangerous. Therefore, how to solve the above problems is a subject that the relevant industry is eager to study.

It is customary to use a manual or stacker to transport batteries for electric vehicles; in addition, it has been found that China Patent Publication No. M421899 "Battery Pack Charging Equipment" is provided on a freely-driving electric vehicle. Displacement device, which can be moved up and down, left and right, and front and rear, and can drive electric The battery pack for a vehicle is a handling device for a vehicle battery. However, in the operation of the conventionally known carrier, since the volume of the body is large, there is a problem that the radius of rotation is too large to be operated during steering, and there are also safety concerns.

In view of this, the inventors have conceived and further studied, and finally invented a transporter that can be turned in place.

The present invention provides a transporter that can be turned in situ, the main purpose of which is to reduce the radius of gyration of the transporter, thereby improving the operability of the transporter.

In order to achieve the foregoing object, the present invention provides an in-situ steerable transporter that is moved at a predetermined site for carrying a part of a vehicle, the transporter comprising: a body having an operating unit and a displacement unit, the displacement unit is provided with an actuation unit, the displacement unit is configured to freely displace the actuation unit relative to the body in an up-and-down direction, a left-right direction and a front-rear direction, the actuation unit is configured to drive the parts of the vehicle; a rotating base, the rotating base is composed of a positioning member and a plurality of rotating members disposed on the positioning member, the positioning member is selectively fixed to the predetermined site, and each of the rotating members is fixed to the bottom of the body, and Freely rotating relative to the positioning member; the operating unit is configured to control the displacement unit, the actuation unit, and the rotating base to operate.

The invention utilizes the provided in-situ steering carrier, and the utility model can obtain the effect that after the fixing member of the rotating base is fixed to the predetermined site, the rotating members fixed on the bottom of the body are opposite to the rotating member The positioning member rotates, and after rotating to the target angle, the positioning member is released from the predetermined site to achieve the purpose of rotating the conveyor in situ and reducing the radius of gyration.
