Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of placement racks, and more specifically to a steel plate placement rack and a method for placing steel plates. Background Technology

[0002] Steel plates are commonly used materials in steel structure manufacturing companies. There are many types of steel plates with different thicknesses and materials. During the production process, steel plates of different lengths or widths need to be pre-treated. Due to the large number of specifications, they are generally stacked. That is, the steel plates are manually lifted and transported to the storage area by electromagnets and stacked one by one.

[0003] Currently, steel plates are manually lifted and attracted using electromagnets. However, due to variations in plate length and width, it's impossible to ensure neat stacking. Larger plates often overlap smaller ones, completely obscuring them and causing significant difficulties for later inventory checks and material retrieval, severely impacting work efficiency. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a steel plate stacking rack that improves stacking efficiency and quality, facilitating later inventory checks and material retrieval. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steel plate placement rack and placement method, which can overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a steel plate placement rack, comprising at least: a plurality of first uprights, the plurality of first uprights being arranged laterally along one side of the steel plate to be placed at predetermined intervals, the sides of the first uprights facing the steel plate to be placed being aligned on a straight line; a plurality of second uprights, the plurality of second uprights being arranged longitudinally along one side of the steel plate to be placed at predetermined intervals, the sides of the second uprights facing the steel plate to be placed being aligned on a straight line; and at least one third upright, the third upright being arranged laterally along one side of the steel plate to be placed, the side of the third upright facing the steel plate to be placed being aligned on a straight line with the side of the first uprights facing the steel plate to be placed; or the third upright being arranged longitudinally along the steel plate to be placed, the side of the third upright facing the steel plate to be placed being aligned on a straight line with the side of the second uprights facing the steel plate to be placed, and a marking device being provided on the side of the third upright facing the steel plate to be placed.

[0006] Furthermore, the first column, the second column, and the third column are provided with shock-absorbing parts on the side facing the steel plate to be placed.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a support portion, which is arranged transversely or longitudinally along the steel plate to be placed.

[0008] Furthermore, the marking device includes a marking part, which includes a marking surface protruding from the third column toward the side facing the steel plate to be placed and support shafts disposed on both sides of the marking part.

[0009] Furthermore, the marking device also includes: a positioning block, which is fixedly connected to both ends of the marking part; a guide rail, which is movably connected to the positioning block; and an elastic element, which is fixed to the side of the positioning block away from the side facing the steel plate to be placed.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning block includes a spiral spring, which is detachably fixed to the support shaft of the marking portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the marking part has a cylindrical structure, and the marking surface is the cylindrical surface of the cylinder.

[0012] Another aspect of the present invention provides a placement method, which includes at least: positioning the transverse edge of the steel plate to be placed with the side of the first column facing the steel plate; positioning the longitudinal edge of the steel plate to be placed with the side of the second column facing the steel plate; placing the positioned steel plate downward in a vertical direction; and marking the steel plate to be placed using a marking device on a third column.

[0013] Furthermore, a third column is simultaneously arranged along the transverse and longitudinal directions of the steel plate to be placed, thereby marking the transverse and longitudinal sections of the steel plate to be placed simultaneously.

[0014] Therefore, the technical solution provided by this invention, through the first column arranged longitudinally along one side of the steel plate to be placed and the second column arranged longitudinally along one side of the steel plate to be placed, allows the steel plate to be positioned in both the horizontal and vertical directions during its fall, thereby ensuring that the steel plate is placed neatly; at the same time, no columns are set on the other two sides, adopting an open form, which allows for the storage of extra-long and extra-wide steel plates, facilitating subsequent handling; the marking device set on the third column allows the steel plate to be marked, which is beneficial for subsequent inventory and material retrieval.

[0031] Steel plates are a commonly used material in steel structure manufacturing companies. Steel plates come in a wide variety of thicknesses and materials, and the production process often requires pre-processing steel plates of varying lengths and widths. Due to the large number of specifications, they are generally stacked, meaning that electromagnets are used manually to attract and lift the steel plates to the storage area, stacking them one by one. However, manually using electromagnets to lift and lift the steel plates makes it impossible to ensure neat stacking due to the different lengths and widths. Larger plates often cover smaller ones, completely obscuring them and causing significant difficulties for later inventory checks and material retrieval, severely impacting work efficiency.

[0032] Please see also Figures 1 to 2In one feasible embodiment, to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention provides a steel plate placement rack, comprising at least: a plurality of first columns 2, the plurality of first columns 2 being arranged laterally along one side of the steel plate 4 to be placed at predetermined intervals, the first columns 2 facing the steel plate 4 being on the same straight line; a plurality of second columns 3, the plurality of second columns 3 being arranged longitudinally along one side of the steel plate 4 to be placed at predetermined intervals, the second columns 3 facing the steel plate 4 being on the same straight line; at least one third column 1, the third column being arranged laterally along one side of the steel plate 4 to be placed, the third column 1 facing the steel plate 4 being on the same straight line as the first columns 2 facing the steel plate 4; or the third column 1 being arranged longitudinally along the steel plate 4 to be placed, the third column 1 facing the steel plate 4 being on the same straight line as the second columns 3 facing the steel plate 4, and a marking device 11 being provided on the third column 1 facing the steel plate 4.

[0033] In one feasible implementation, the first column 2 and the second column 3 can be configured with completely identical structures. The third column 1 can also be modified from the first column 2 or the second column 3, thereby reducing processing steps and saving costs. The third column 1 can adopt the same arrangement as the first column 2 or the second column 3, for example, by replacing one or more of the first column 2 or the second column 3 with the third column 1.

[0034] The third column 1 can be installed either horizontally or vertically along the steel plate 4 to be placed. Since the steel plate 4 is generally large, for ease of location, in one feasible embodiment, the third column 1 can be arranged simultaneously in both the horizontal and vertical directions of the steel plate 4, thus marking both sides of the steel plate 4 at the same time. This makes the markings easily visible during inventory and material retrieval, saving time.

[0035] The steel plate 4 to be placed is generally quite heavy, and during the placement process, the steel plate may swing to a certain extent. To prevent damage to the first column 2, second column 3, and third column 1 during the swinging of the steel plate 4, in one feasible implementation, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, shock-absorbing parts 10 can be provided on the side of the first column 2, the second column 3, and the third column 1 facing the steel plate to be placed. In order to absorb shock without damaging the steel plate to be placed, the material of the shock-absorbing part 10 can be rubber, wood, leather, or other materials that can have a shock-absorbing effect; this invention does not limit the material.

[0036] When steel plates are stacked together, the markings on the bottom layer may be difficult to see. Therefore, in one feasible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, a support part 6 can be provided at the lower part of the steel plate to be placed. The support part 6 is arranged along the transverse or longitudinal direction of the steel plate to be placed. The support part 6 can be made of steel square or round tubes, or other materials such as wooden blocks. After it is fixed, the steel plate 4 to be placed at the lower level will be raised due to the support of the support part 6, making it easier for workers to see.

[0037] Please see also Figures 4 to 10 In one feasible embodiment, the marking device 11 includes a marking section 110, which includes a marking surface protruding from the third column 1 towards the side facing the steel plate 4 to be placed, and support shafts 113 disposed on both sides of the marking section. Relevant markings can be set on the marking surface as needed, and the structure is configured to allow the markings to be printed onto the surface of the object it contacts. For example, ink or paint can be applied to the marking surface before each use, and when the steel plate 4 to be placed comes into contact with the marking surface, the markings on the marking surface can be printed onto the corresponding contact surface of the steel plate 4.

[0038] Since the marking device 11 comes into contact with the steel plate each time it is placed, in order to increase the number of uses of the marking device, in one feasible embodiment, the marking device further includes: a positioning block 111, a guide rail 112, and a spring member 115. The positioning block 111 is fixedly connected to both ends of the marking part; the guide rail 112 is movably connected to the positioning block 111; and the spring member 115 is fixed to the side of the positioning block 111 away from the steel plate to be placed. When the steel plate 4 to be placed comes into contact with the marking surface, the marking surface is pressed, and the marking surface can print the mark 119 on the contact surface of the steel plate to be placed. At this time, the positioning block 111 is pressed backward away from the steel plate to be placed, and the spring member 115 applies a force close to the steel plate to be placed to the positioning block. In this way, the marking part can always be attached to the contact surface of the steel plate 4 to be placed, and due to the buffering effect of the spring, the positioning block can be displaced in the guide rail, thereby driving the marking part 110 to move accordingly, so that the marking part will not exert too much pressure on the contact surface of the steel plate to be placed, thus preventing damage to the marking part.

[0039] In one feasible implementation, the elastic element 115 can be a spring. One end of the spring is connected to the positioning block 111, and the other end is connected to the baffle 118. The baffle 118 can be the inner wall of the third column 1, or the baffle 118 can be set separately. In this case, a welding component 120 can be used to weld it to the inner wall of the third column, or the baffle 118 can be directly fixed to the inner wall of the third column.

[0040] In one feasible implementation, the mark 119 can be set only on a portion of the surface of the marking part. For example, it can be set with numbers representing dates or letters, and the relevant marks can be customized as needed and set on the marking part. Alternatively, marks indicating relative positional relationships can be set, such as scales indicating length or marking strips of different widths and colors. Taking the mark 119 as a scale as an example, when the marking part comes into contact with the steel plate to be placed, the contact surface of the steel plate to be placed will be marked with scales, and its thickness information can be known from the scales.

[0041] In one feasible implementation, a mark indicating the initial position can also be provided on the surface of the marking part. For example, a scale 0 can be set at the initial contact position, and corresponding scales, such as 1, 2, 3, etc., can be sequentially set at positions spaced at predetermined distances from scale 0. To facilitate reading, the marking device can return the marking part to its original position after the steel plate to be placed is marked. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the marking part 110 has a cylindrical structure, and the marking surface is the cylindrical surface of the cylinder. The positioning block 111 is a hollow structure, and a spiral spring 116 is installed inside the positioning block 111. The spiral spring 116 is detachably fixed to the support shaft 113 of the marking part 110. One end of the support shaft 113 is engaged with the spiral spring, and the other end is fixed to the marking part 110. When the marking part 110 rotates under the action of the steel plate to be placed and marks the contact surface of the steel plate 4, the spiral spring is coiled and deformed. When the steel plate to be placed is separated from the marking part 110, the marking part 110 can return to its initial position under the action of the spiral spring and continue to mark the next time. In this way, the contact surface of the steel plate 4 to be placed can be marked with a scale corresponding to its thickness, so that the workers can more easily identify the specifications of the corresponding steel plate when checking and finding materials.

[0042] Another aspect of the present invention provides a placement method, which in one feasible embodiment includes at least the following steps: positioning the transverse edge of the steel plate 4 to be placed with the side of the first column 2 facing the steel plate 4; positioning the longitudinal edge of the steel plate 4 to be placed with the side of the second column 3 facing the steel plate 4; placing the positioned steel plate downward in the vertical direction; and marking the steel plate 4 using a marking device 11 on the third column 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, after the steel plate 4 is pre-processed, it is automatically lifted by an electromagnetic crane to the top of the automatic steel plate placement rack. Positioning by the first column 2 and the second column 3 ensures the steel plate is placed neatly. The other two sides are open, without columns, allowing for the storage of extra-long and extra-wide steel plates, facilitating later handling. The marking device 11 marks the steel plate 4 to facilitate later inspection and material retrieval by staff.

[0044] In one feasible implementation, a third column 1 is simultaneously arranged along both the transverse and longitudinal directions of the steel plate 4 to be placed, thereby marking the transverse and longitudinal sections of the steel plate 4 simultaneously. This prevents unclear markings on one side due to malfunction or other reasons, and also facilitates inspection and material retrieval by staff from different locations.

[0045] In one feasible implementation, third columns 1 can be provided both horizontally and vertically along the steel plate 4 to be placed. Furthermore, the markings 119 on the marking portions 110 of the horizontal and vertical third columns 1 can be of different types. For example, the markings on the horizontally positioned third columns can use scales indicating length, while the markings on the vertically positioned third columns can use numbers to indicate the date the steel plate was received. The specific markings used can be replaced according to actual needs, and this invention does not limit this.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
