Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a storage rack, and more particularly to a multifunctional storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] Storage racks are an important tool for improving efficiency in modern warehouses. They are used to store various goods or items.

[0003] When placing goods on existing warehouse racks, forklifts are needed for storing goods on the middle and upper levels. However, space is limited in the warehouse, and forklifts are not easy to move. Manual handling requires the use of freight elevators, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, goods are prone to falling from heights during handling, posing certain safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a multi-functional storage rack that is easy to operate and facilitates the storage and retrieval of goods at medium and high levels. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing warehouse racks that are not convenient for retrieving and placing goods at middle and upper levels, the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional warehouse rack that is simple to operate and convenient for storing and retrieving goods at middle and upper levels.

[0006] A multifunctional storage rack includes a rack, strips, support bases, a sliding mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. A row of strips is connected to the upper, middle, and lower parts of the rack. Four support bases are connected to the bottom of the rack. The front of the rack is equipped with a sliding mechanism for workers to easily access goods in the upper and middle layers. The front of the rack is also equipped with a lifting mechanism for driving the sliding mechanism to slide up and down.

[0007] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism includes a first guide rail, a first slider, a mounting bracket, and a placement plate. The first guide rail is connected to both the left and right sides of the front of the placement bracket. The first slider is slidably connected to the first guide rail. The mounting bracket is connected to the lower part of the first slider. The placement plate is rotatably connected between the left and right mounting brackets.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lead screw, a drive motor, a nut, a guide rod, and a sliding sleeve. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the front left side of the placement frame, and the drive motor is connected to the lower left front part of the placement frame. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the lower end of the lead screw. Nuts are threaded onto the lead screw, and the nuts are connected to the first slider on the left side. The guide rod is connected to the front right side of the placement frame, and a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the guide rod. The sliding sleeve is connected to the first slider on the right side.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a pushing mechanism for pushing goods onto the strip plate. The pushing mechanism includes a mounting plate, a sliding plate, a pushing plate and a first connecting plate. Two mounting plates are connected to both the left and right sides of the placement rack. Sliding plates are slidably connected to the mounting plates. A pushing plate is connected to the front of each sliding plate. The first connecting plate is connected between the rear of the two sliding plates on the left and the two sliding plates on the right.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating mechanism for automatically sliding the sliding plate forward. The rotating mechanism includes a horizontal plate, a rotating shaft, a guide plate, a second connecting plate, a gear, a second guide rail, a rack, and a contact plate. Horizontal plates are symmetrically connected to the lower part of the placement frame. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of each horizontal plate. A guide plate is connected to the outer end of each rotating shaft. A second connecting plate is slidably connected inside each guide plate. The upper end of each second connecting plate is rotatably connected to an adjacent sliding plate. A gear is connected to the inner end of each rotating shaft. A second guide rail is connected to the front of each horizontal plate. A rack is slidably connected to each second guide rail. Each rack meshes with an adjacent gear. A contact plate is connected to the lower part of each rack. The placement plate rotates downward and contacts the contact plate.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a support mechanism for supporting the placement plate. The support mechanism includes a guide sleeve, a second slider, and a slide rod. The upper part of the first slider is rotatably connected to the guide sleeve. The left and right sides of the placement plate are slidably connected to the second slider. The guide sleeve is slidably connected to the slide rod. The tail end of the slide rod is rotatably connected to the adjacent second slider.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a reinforcement mechanism for reinforcing the strip plates. The reinforcement mechanism includes a square plate, a third connecting plate, and a support plate. Square plates are symmetrically connected to the upper, middle, and lower parts of the placement frame. A third connecting plate is connected to each square plate. A support plate is connected between two adjacent left and right third connecting plates. The support plates are in contact with and support the adjacent strip plates.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a stop block, which is symmetrically and rotatably connected to the upper part of the placement plate.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. When goods are placed on the placement plate, the drive motor can drive the placement plate to move up or down, which makes it more convenient for staff to access goods in the middle and upper levels without relying on manual handling.

[0015] 2. The push plate moves backward to push the goods on the placement plate into the placement rack. At the same time, since the push plates of the middle and upper layers move at the same time, it is easier for staff to push the goods on the upper layers backward.

[0016] 3. The placement plate rotates downwards and contacts the contact plate, which in turn causes the sliding plate to slide forward through the engagement of the rack and pinion. In this way, the push plate can be automatically moved forward when the placement plate rotates downwards and opens.

[0017] 4. After the placement plate rotates downwards, the guide sleeve, the second slider and the slide rod work together to support the outside of the placement plate, so as to avoid the lack of force points on the outside of the placement plate, which would result in the goods being placed unstable.

[0018] 5. The support plate can support the middle of the strip plate, preventing the middle of the strip plate from bending under stress. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Although the invention may be described with respect to specific applications or industries, those skilled in the art will recognize its broader applicability. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A multi-functional warehouse rack, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a placement rack 1, strip plates 2, support bases 3, sliding mechanism 4, and lifting mechanism 5. Five strip plates 2 are connected to the upper, middle, and lower parts of the placement rack 1. The strip plates 2 are used to place goods. Four support bases 3 are connected to the bottom of the placement rack 1. The sliding mechanism 4 is provided at the front of the placement rack 1. The sliding mechanism 4 makes it easier for workers to access goods in the middle and upper layers. The lifting mechanism 5 is provided at the front of the placement rack 1. The lifting mechanism 5 can drive the sliding mechanism 4 to slide up and down.

[0032] The staff moves the device to a suitable position and supports it with the support base 3. When using the device, the staff can place the goods directly on the bottom strip plate 2 for storage. When it is necessary to place the goods on the middle and upper strip plates 2, the staff first places the goods on the sliding mechanism 4, and then drives the sliding mechanism 4 to move upward through the lifting mechanism 5. When the sliding mechanism 4 moves upward to be level with the strip plate 2, the staff can directly push the goods backward and push the goods onto the strip plate 2. In this way, it is convenient for the staff to take the goods from the middle and upper levels without relying on manual handling.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the sliding mechanism 4 includes a first guide rail 41, a first slider 42, a mounting bracket 43, and a placement plate 44. The first guide rail 41 is welded to both the left and right sides of the front of the placement bracket 1. The first slider 42 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 41. The mounting bracket 43 is connected to the lower part of the first slider 42. The placement plate 44 is rotatably connected between the two mounting brackets 43. The placement plate 44 is used to drive the goods to move up and down.

[0034] like Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a stop block 10, which is symmetrically and rotatably connected to the upper part of the placement plate 44.

[0035] When using the device, the operator pushes the placement plate 44 downward to rotate and open it. After the placement plate 44 rotates downward, it is limited by the mounting frame 43. Then, the operator places the goods on the placement plate 44. The upward-rotating stop block 10 blocks the outside of the goods to prevent them from slipping. After placement, the operator uses the lifting mechanism 5 to drive the first slider 42 to slide upward on the guide rail. The upward sliding of the first slider 42 drives the placement plate 44 to move upward through the mounting frame 43. The upward movement of the placement plate 44 drives the goods to move upward. When the placement plate 44 moves upward to be level with the strip plate 2 at the appropriate position, the goods are placed on the plate. Staff can then push the goods backward into the placement rack 1. Once the goods are pushed onto the strip plate 2, staff can use the lifting mechanism 5 to move the first slider 42 downward. The first slider 42 moves downward and, through the mounting frame 43, moves the placement plate 44 downward to reset. Then, staff can push the placement plate 44 upward to rotate and retract it. When staff need to retrieve goods from the middle and upper levels, they can also control the placement plate 44 to move to the appropriate position and then directly push the goods on the strip plate 2 onto the placement plate 44. The goods are then transported down through the placement plate 44. This makes it easier to store and retrieve goods from the middle and upper levels.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a lead screw 51, a drive motor 52, a nut 53, a guide rod 54, and a sliding sleeve 55. The lead screw 51 is rotatably connected to the front left side of the placement frame 1. The drive motor 52 is bolted to the lower left front part of the placement frame 1. The drive motor 52 is used to provide power for transporting goods. The output shaft of the drive motor 52 is connected to the lead screw 51 through the lower end of the coupling. Nuts 53 are threaded onto the lead screw 51. The nuts 53 are connected to the first slider 42 on the left side. The guide rod 54 is welded to the front right side of the placement frame 1. The sliding sleeve 55 is slidably connected to the guide rod 54. The sliding sleeve 55 is connected to the first slider 42 on the right side.

[0037] When using the device, the operator starts the drive motor 52. The output shaft of the drive motor 52 rotates, causing the lead screw 51 to rotate. As the lead screw 51 rotates, it causes the nut 53 to move upward. The upward movement of the nut 53 causes the first slider 42 on the left to slide upward, and the placement plate 44 moves the goods upward accordingly. At the same time, the upward movement of the first slider 42 on the right also causes the sliding sleeve 55 to slide upward on the guide rod 54. After the goods are placed, the operator controls the output shaft of the drive motor 52 to reverse. The reverse rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 52 causes the lead screw 51 to reverse, and the reverse rotation of the lead screw 51 causes the nut 53 to move downward. The downward movement of the nut 53 causes the first slider 42 to slide downward, and the placement plate 44 moves downward accordingly. The sliding sleeve 55 also slides downward to reset. After the device is used, the operator turns off the drive motor 52. This provides power for the up and down movement of the placement plate 44.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a pushing mechanism 6, which can push the goods onto the strip plate 2. The pushing mechanism 6 includes a mounting plate 61, a sliding plate 62, a pushing plate 63 and a first connecting plate 64. Two mounting plates 61 are welded to both the left and right sides of the placement frame 1. Sliding plates 62 are slidably connected to the mounting plates 61. The pushing plates 63 are bolted to the front of the sliding plates 62. The first connecting plate 64 is welded between the rear of the two sliding plates 62 on the left and the two sliding plates 62 on the right.

[0040] When using this device, when goods need to be stored, the staff first pushes the first connecting plate 64 forward. The forward movement of the first connecting plate 64 causes the sliding plate 62 to slide forward on the mounting plate 61. The forward movement of the sliding plate 62 causes the pushing plate 63 to move forward. After the placement plate 44 moves the goods upward, the staff pushes the first connecting plate 64 backward. The backward movement of the first connecting plate 64 causes the sliding plate 62 to slide backward. The backward movement of the sliding plate 62 causes the pushing plate 63 to move backward. The backward movement of the pushing plate 63 can push the goods on the placement plate 44 backward into the strip plate 2. At the same time, since the pushing plates 63 of the middle and upper layers move simultaneously, it is more convenient for the staff to push the goods on the upper layer backward.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a rotating mechanism 7, which can automatically make the sliding plate 62 slide forward. The rotating mechanism 7 includes a horizontal plate 71, a rotating shaft 72, a guide plate 73, a second connecting plate 74, a gear 75, a second guide rail 76, a rack 77, and a contact plate 78. The lower part of the placement frame 1 is symmetrically welded with horizontal plates 71. The middle of each horizontal plate 71 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 72. The outer end of each rotating shaft 72 is connected to a guide plate 73. The guide plate 73 is slidably connected to a second connecting plate 74. The upper end of each second connecting plate 74 is rotatably connected to an adjacent sliding plate 62. The inner end of each rotating shaft 72 is keyed to a gear 75. The front part of each horizontal plate 71 is bolted with a second guide rail 76. The second guide rail 76 is slidably connected to a rack 77. The rack 77 meshes with an adjacent gear 75. The lower part of each rack 77 is connected to a contact plate 78. The placement plate 44 rotates downward and contacts the contact plate 78.

[0042] When using the device, the placement plate 44 rotates downward to press the contact plate 78 downward. The downward movement of the contact plate 78 causes the rack 77 to slide downward. The downward movement of the rack 77 causes the gear 75 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 75 causes the guide plate 73 to swing forward via the rotating shaft 72. The forward swing of the guide plate 73 causes the sliding plate 62 to slide forward via the second connecting plate 74, which in turn causes the push plate 63 to move forward. After the placement plate 44 moves the goods to the appropriate position, the worker pushes the first connecting plate 64 to move backward. The sliding plate 62 slides backward accordingly. The backward sliding of the sliding plate 62 causes the guide plate 73 to swing backward via the second connecting plate 74. The backward swing of the guide plate 73 causes the gear 75 to reverse direction via the rotating shaft 72. The reverse rotation of the gear 75 causes the rack 77 to slide upward. The contact plate 78 then slides upward to reset. In this way, the push plate 63 can be automatically moved forward when the placement plate 44 rotates downward to open.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a support mechanism 8, which can support the placement plate 44. The support mechanism 8 includes a guide sleeve 81, a second slider 82 and a slide rod 83. The upper part of the first slider 42 is rotatably connected to the guide sleeve 81. The left and right parts of the placement plate 44 are slidably connected to the second slider 82. The guide sleeve 81 is slidably connected to the slide rod 83. The tail end of the slide rod 83 is rotatably connected to the adjacent second slider 82.

[0044] When using this device, the placement plate 44 rotates downwards, which in turn drives the slide rod 83 and guide sleeve 81 to rotate downwards via the second slider 82. As the slide rod 83 rotates downwards, it slides outwards within the guide sleeve 81. Simultaneously, as the second slider 82 rotates downwards, it slides inwards within the placement plate 44. When the placement plate 44 rotates to a horizontal position, the guide sleeve 81, the second slider 82, and the slide rod 83 work together to support the outside of the placement plate 44, preventing the placement plate 44 from having no force points on its outside, which would result in unstable placement of goods. When the placement plate 44 rotates upwards, the second slider 82 drives the slide rod 83 and guide sleeve 81 to swing upwards and reset.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a reinforcing mechanism 9, which can reinforce the strip plate 2. The reinforcing mechanism 9 includes a square plate 91, a third connecting plate 92 and a support plate 93. Square plates 91 are symmetrically welded to the upper, middle and lower parts of the placement frame 1. The third connecting plate 92 is installed on the square plate 91 by bolts. The support plate 93 is installed between the two adjacent left and right third connecting plates 92 by bolts. The support plate 93 is in contact with the adjacent strip plate 2 and supports it.

[0046] When using the device, the support plate 93 can support the middle part of the strip plate 2 to prevent the strip plate 2 from bending. The support plate 93 is fixed by the square plate 91 and the third connecting plate 92 so that the support plate 93 can support the middle part of the strip plate 2.

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
