Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of parts storage and retrieval devices, and in particular relates to a parts placement rack for assembling electric motorcycles. Background Art

[0002] In an electric motorcycle assembly workshop, individual parts need to be assembled into components, which are then assembled into complete vehicles. Therefore, an electric motorcycle assembly workshop typically has one or more assembly lines, each with multiple assembly stations. Parts racks are located near the stations to hold the various parts needed for assembly.

[0003] A typical parts rack primarily consists of a frame and several parts boxes or frames placed on it. Deeper frames or frames can accommodate a larger number of parts for workers to access, but as the number of parts decreases, workers must reach into the frames or frames to retrieve parts, which is inconvenient and affects assembly efficiency. Shallower frames or frames, on the other hand, eliminate the need for workers to reach into the frames or frames to retrieve parts, but the number of parts stored is limited, requiring frequent restocking, which is also detrimental to improving assembly efficiency. In other words, conventional frames or frames struggle to balance the need for both part storage capacity and ease of access. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a parts placement rack for assembling an electric motorcycle, so as to solve the problem that ordinary parts frames or parts boxes cannot take into account both the parts storage capacity and the convenience of taking out parts.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the solution of the present invention is as follows: a parts placement rack for assembling electric motorcycles includes a frame body, a parts box for storing parts is provided on the frame body, a skateboard is vertically slidably connected to the parts box, a mounting plate is provided below the parts box, a driving member for driving the skateboard to slide vertically is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, and a control switch for controlling the driving member is fixedly installed on the side wall of the parts box.

[0006] The working principle and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: In this solution, since the slide can slide vertically within the parts box, that is, the depth of the parts box is adjustable, when the number of parts stored on the slide in the parts box decreases and workers are able to retrieve them, the control switch activates the driving member, causing the slide to slide upward within the parts box, pushing the parts to the top of the parts box, thereby facilitating the workers' retrieval. In other words, this solution can store a large number of parts while also facilitating the retrieval of parts by workers, thus balancing the storage capacity and retrieval convenience of parts, thereby improving workers' assembly efficiency.

[0007] Optionally, a push plate is connected to the parts box for horizontal sliding, and the bottom end of the push plate is slidably connected to the upper surface of the slide; a driving mechanism for driving the push plate to slide horizontally is provided on the mounting plate, and the driving mechanism includes a vertical member, a horizontal member and a transmission assembly, the top end of the vertical member is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slide, and the horizontal member is horizontally slidably connected to the side wall of the parts box, and one end of the horizontal member is against the side wall of the push plate, and the transmission assembly is used to transmit the vertical movement of the vertical member to the horizontal member and convert it into horizontal sliding movement of the horizontal member.

[0008] In this solution, when the slide plate slides upward under the action of the driving member, the vertical member moves with the slide plate. This, through the transmission assembly, drives the push plate horizontally, pushing the parts inside the parts box and pushing them to the side of the box closer to the worker, making it easier for the worker to retrieve the parts. This allows the parts box to have a deeper initial depth and a longer initial length, resulting in a larger capacity, capable of storing more parts, effectively reducing the frequency of parts replenishment and improving assembly efficiency.

[0009] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes a first cylinder body and a second cylinder body, the first cylinder body is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, a first piston is vertically slidably connected to the first cylinder body, the first piston divides the internal space of the first cylinder body into an independent upper chamber and a lower chamber, the upper chamber contains liquid, the vertical member passes through the top wall of the upper chamber and is fixedly connected to the first piston; the second cylinder body is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the parts box, a second piston is horizontally slidably connected to the second cylinder body, the second piston divides the internal space of the first cylinder body into independent left and right chambers, the end of the horizontal member away from the push plate passes through the side wall of the right chamber and is fixedly connected to the second piston, the left chamber is connected to a pipe, and the end of the pipe away from the left chamber is connected to the upper chamber.

[0010] In this solution, the liquid in the upper chamber flows into the left chamber through the pipe, thereby pushing the second piston to slide toward the right chamber, and then causing the horizontal part to slide toward the push plate, causing the push plate to slide on the slide, thereby pushing the parts and pushing the parts to the side of the parts box close to the worker, making it easier for the worker to pick up the parts.

[0011] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the first gear and the first bevel gear, the second rotating shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the second gear and the second bevel gear, and the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear are meshed; the vertical member is provided with a first rack portion meshed with the first gear, a vertical channel for the vertical member to pass through is opened on the mounting plate, and the horizontal member is provided with a second rack portion meshed with the second gear.

[0012] In this solution, the first gear is engaged with the first rack portion on the vertical member, the second gear is engaged with the second rack portion on the horizontal member, and the first bevel gear is engaged with the second bevel gear. In this way, when the vertical member moves vertically, the first gear rotates, and the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear to rotate, thereby causing the second gear to rotate, and then driving the horizontal member to slide, causing the push plate to slide on the slide, thereby pushing the parts, and pushing the parts to the side of the parts box close to the worker, making it easier for the worker to pick up the parts.

[0013] Optionally, the connection point between the pipe and the upper chamber is located at the top of the upper chamber, and the connection point between the pipe and the left chamber is located at the left end of the left chamber.

[0014] In this solution, the pipeline is arranged in this way so that the liquid in the upper chamber can basically flow into the right chamber.

[0015] Optionally, a plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the side wall of the lower chamber and the side wall of the right chamber.

[0016] In this solution, the vent hole on the side wall of the lower chamber can connect the lower chamber with the outside atmosphere, reducing the sliding resistance of the first piston; similarly, the vent hole on the side wall of the right chamber can connect the right chamber with the outside atmosphere, reducing the sliding resistance of the second piston.

[0017] Optionally, a first T-shaped block is provided on the bottom surface of the horizontal member, a horizontal channel for the horizontal member to pass through is opened on the side wall of the parts box, and a first T-shaped slot for slidingly cooperating with the first T-shaped block is opened on the bottom wall of the horizontal channel.

[0018] In this solution, the sliding connection between the horizontal member and the side wall of the parts box is achieved by utilizing the sliding cooperation between the first T-shaped block and the first T-shaped slot.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] This embodiment is basically as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown: A parts rack for assembling electric motorcycles includes a rack body, on which is disposed a parts box 1 for storing parts. Specifically, the rack body includes a first crossbar 2 and a second crossbar 3. The bottom surface of the parts box 1 is integrally formed with a first mounting protrusion 101 and a second mounting protrusion 102. The first mounting protrusion 101 defines a first sliding hole for the first crossbar 2 to pass through, and the second mounting protrusion 102 defines a second sliding hole for the second crossbar 3 to pass through. In this way, the parts box 1 can slide on the rack body, thereby adjusting the position of the parts box 1 and moving the parts box 1 to a position convenient for workers to retrieve parts. In addition, the first crossbar 2 and the second crossbar 3 are fixed to the floor of the electric motorcycle assembly workshop by support rods. At least two parts boxes 1 can be designed on the rack body to store different types of parts in a classified manner.

[0034] A slide plate 4 is vertically slidably connected to the parts box 1. A mounting plate 5 is provided below the parts box 1. The mounting plate 5 is connected to the bottom wall of the parts box 1 through a connecting rod 6. A driving member 7 for driving the slide plate 4 to slide vertically is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 5. The driving member 7 is a linear reciprocating motion structure such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod. In this embodiment, the driving member 7 is an electric push rod. Figure 4 As shown, the output end of the driver 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slide 4. The bottom wall of the parts box 1 is provided with a first through-hole for the output end of the driver 7 to pass through. A control switch 8 for controlling the driver 7 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the parts box 1 facing the worker. In this way, the worker can control the opening and closing of the driver 7 by controlling the control switch 8.

[0035] A push plate 9 is horizontally slidably connected to the parts box 1. The bottom end of the push plate 9 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the slide plate 4. Specifically, a second T-shaped block 10 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the slide plate 4, and a second T-shaped slot is defined at the bottom end of the push plate 9, which slidably engages with the second T-shaped block 10. Furthermore, a Z-shaped rod 11 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the bottom of the push plate 9. The end of the Z-shaped rod 11, which is located above the parts box 1, is away from the push plate 9. A worker uses this Z-shaped rod 11 to apply tension to the bottom of the push plate 9.

[0036] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 5 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the push plate 9 to slide horizontally, and the driving mechanism includes a vertical member 12, a horizontal member 13 and a transmission assembly. The top end of the vertical member 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slide plate 4, and the bottom wall of the parts box 1 is provided with a second through hole for the vertical member 12 to pass through; the horizontal member 13 is horizontally slidably connected to the side wall of the parts box 1, specifically, a transverse channel for the sliding of the horizontal member 13 is provided on the left side wall of the parts box 1, and the right end of the horizontal member 13 can be against the left side wall of the push plate 9; the transmission assembly is used to transmit the vertical movement of the vertical member 12 to the horizontal member 13 and convert it into a horizontal sliding movement of the horizontal member 13.

[0037] The transmission assembly in this embodiment includes a first cylinder body 14 and a second cylinder body 15. The first cylinder body 14 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 5. A first piston 16 is vertically slidably connected to the first cylinder body 14. The first piston 16 divides the internal space of the first cylinder body 14 into an independent upper chamber 17 and a lower chamber 18. The upper chamber 17 contains liquid. A vertical member passes through the top wall of the upper chamber 17 and is fixedly connected to the first piston 16. The vertical member is sealed and slidably connected to the top wall of the upper chamber 17. The second cylinder body 15 is fixedly mounted on the left outer wall of the parts box 1. A second piston 19 is horizontally slidably connected to the second cylinder body 15. The second piston 19 divides the internal space of the first cylinder body 14 into independent left and right chambers 20 and 21. The left end of the horizontal member 13 passes through the right side wall of the right chamber 21 and is fixedly connected to the second piston 19. The left end of the left chamber 20 is connected to a pipe 22. The end of the pipe 22 away from the left chamber 20 is connected to the top of the upper chamber 17. Several vent holes (not shown) are provided on the side walls of the lower chamber 18 and the right chamber 21, so that the lower chamber 18 is connected to the outside atmosphere and the right chamber 21 is connected to the outside atmosphere, thereby reducing the sliding resistance of the first piston 16 and the sliding resistance of the second piston 19.

[0038] During use, a worker stands or sits at the assembly table, pushes the parts box 1 to slide on the frame, and adjusts the position of the parts box 1 until the parts box 1 is in a position that is convenient for the worker to retrieve the parts. Then, the worker begins the assembly work. As the assembly work progresses, the number of parts in the parts box 1 gradually decreases, and the stacking height of the parts in the parts box 1 gradually decreases. When the parts in the parts box 1 are located in a relatively deep position, making it inconvenient for the worker to retrieve the parts, the worker presses the control switch 8, causing the drive member 7 to start working. The drive member 7 drives the slide 4 to slide upward, so that the parts gradually approach the retrieval port of the parts box 1 (the retrieval port of the parts box 1 is located at the top of the parts box 1, and the top of the parts box 1 is open).

[0039] As the slide plate 4 slides upward, it drives the vertical member 12 upward, thereby pulling the first piston 16 upward. The volume of the upper chamber 17 decreases, and the liquid in the upper chamber 17 flows into the left chamber 20 through the pipe 22. The volume of the left chamber 20 increases, thereby pushing the second piston 19 to the right, thereby driving the horizontal member 13 to slide to the right. The horizontal member 13 pushes the push plate 9 to slide to the right, thereby pushing the parts to the right side of the internal space of the parts box 1. When the stacking height of the parts reaches the top of the parts box 1, the worker controls the drive member 7 to stop working by controlling the switch 8. After the parts are taken, when the stacking height of the parts is no longer convenient for the worker to take, the drive member 7 is started again by controlling the switch 8, and the above process is repeated.

[0040] Moreover, during the above process, the worker can also manually pull the push plate 9 to slide to the right through the Z-shaped rod 11, thereby assisting the horizontal member 13 to ensure that the push plate 9 slides to the right to push the parts.

[0041] When the parts in the parts box 1 are used up (at this time the output end of the driving member 7 has reached the maximum extension), the worker starts the driving member 7 through the control switch 8. The driving member 7 drives the slide plate 4 to slide downward and reset, and the vertical member 12 moves downward and resets, pushing the first piston 16 to slide downward and reset, and the volume of the upper chamber 17 increases; at the same time, the worker pushes the push plate 9 to the left, the horizontal member 13 slides to the left, the second piston 19 slides to the left, the volume of the left chamber 20 decreases, and the liquid in the left chamber 20 flows back to the upper chamber 17 through the pipe 22 for next use.

[0042] To sum up, in this embodiment, the slide plate 4 in the parts box 1 can slide vertically, so that the depth of the parts storage space in the parts box 1 can be adjusted, and the push plate 9 in the parts box 1 can slide horizontally relative to the slide plate 4, so that the length of the parts storage space in the parts box 1 can be adjusted. In this way, the parts box 1 can store a large number of parts, reduce the frequency of replenishment, and make it convenient for workers to pick up parts, taking into account both the parts storage capacity and the convenience of picking up parts, and improving the assembly efficiency of workers.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: Figure 5 As shown, the transmission assembly in this embodiment is different from the transmission assembly in Example 1. The transmission assembly in this embodiment includes a first rotating shaft 23 and a second rotating shaft 24. The first rotating shaft 23 is coaxially fixedly connected with a first gear 25 and a first bevel gear 26. The second rotating shaft 24 is coaxially fixedly connected with a second gear 27 and a second bevel gear 28. The second bevel gear 28 is meshed with the first bevel gear 26; the vertical member 12 is provided with a first rack portion 121 meshed with the first gear 25, and a vertical channel for the vertical member 12 to pass through is opened on the mounting plate 5. The horizontal member 13 is provided with a second rack portion 131 meshed with the second gear 27.

[0045] Furthermore, a vertical plate 29 for mounting the first rotating shaft 23 and an F-shaped plate 30 for mounting the second rotating shaft 24 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5. The first rotating shaft 23 is rotatably mounted on the vertical plate 29 via a bearing, while the second rotating shaft 24 is rotatably mounted on the F-shaped plate 30 via a bearing. Furthermore, a first T-shaped block 31 is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the horizontal member 13, and a first T-shaped slot is defined on the bottom wall of the horizontal channel on the left side wall of the parts box 1, which slidably engages with the first T-shaped block 31.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the driving member 7 drives the slide plate 4 to slide upward, the vertical member 12 moves upward, and the first rack portion 121 on the vertical member 12 engages with the first gear 25, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate clockwise (from Figure 5As the first bevel gear 26 is engaged with the second bevel gear 28, when the first bevel gear 26 rotates clockwise, the second bevel gear 28 is driven to rotate clockwise (from the left side). Figure 5 Since the second gear 27 is engaged with the second rack portion 131 on the horizontal member 13, the horizontal member 13 slides to the right, thereby pushing the push plate 9 to slide to the right, thereby pushing the parts to the right side of the internal space of the parts box 1, making it easier for workers to pick up the parts.

[0047] When the parts in the parts box 1 are used up (at this time the output end of the driving member 7 has reached the maximum extension), the worker starts the driving member 7 through the control switch 8, and the driving member 7 drives the slide plate 4 to slide downward and reset, and the vertical member 12 moves downward and resets, the first gear 25, the first rotating shaft 23 and the first bevel gear 26 rotate counterclockwise, the second bevel gear 28, the second rotating shaft 24 and the second gear 27 rotate counterclockwise, and the horizontal member 13 slides to the left and resets, and the worker then pushes the push plate 9 to slide to the left and reset through the Z-shaped rod 11 for next use.

[0048] To sum up, in this embodiment, the slide plate 4 can slide vertically in the parts box 1, and the push plate 9 can slide horizontally on the slide plate 4. In this way, the depth of the parts storage space in the parts box 1 is adjustable, and the length of the parts storage space in the parts box 1 is adjustable. The parts box 1 in this embodiment can store a large number of parts, reduce the frequency of replenishment, and can also facilitate workers to pick up parts, taking into account the parts storage capacity and the convenience of picking up parts, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of workers.
