[0023] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, according to the present invention, a universal placement fixture for powder coating of small tower crane parts includes a frame 1 for supporting and conveying small tower crane parts. The length, width, and height of the frame 1 are not less than 4.5m × 1.8m × 2m. Removable casters are provided at the bottom of the frame 1. The frame 1 is composed of one or more frame units 10, which are horizontally connected in series. Each frame unit 10 includes a base frame 100 and uprights 101 spaced apart along the conveying direction on the side edges of the front and rear ends of the base frame 100. The bottoms of adjacent frame units 10 are connected by the front and rear side walls of the base frame 100. The base frame 100 is fixedly connected. A top beam rod 102 is horizontally arranged at the top of the column 101 on both sides of the base frame 100 and along the conveying direction. An upper suspension support 103 is arranged on the top beam rod 102 on both sides of the base frame 100. The upper suspension support 103 is an inverted U-shaped rod structure. The two ends of the U-shaped rod structure are fixed to the top beam rod 102. The U-shaped part of the U-shaped rod structure extends vertically upward from the top beam rod 102. The column 101 is arranged on both sides of the base frame 100. A lower suspension support 104 is arranged on the side wall of the column 101 on each base frame 100. A detachable universal wheel is arranged below the base frame 100. A horizontal suspension support block 105 is provided on the side wall of the top beam 10 on one or both sides of the upper suspension support 103. A suspension support notch 106 is provided on the upper surface of the free end of the horizontal suspension support block 105. The frame 1 is suspended on the conveyor suspension line in the powder spraying room using hooks. At the same time, small parts are suspended on the top beam 102 and the lower suspension support 104 using small part powder spraying hooks. The frame 1 enters the powder spraying room with the powder spraying line gantry to perform powder spraying operations on the small parts. Alternatively, the frame 1 can slide in the powder spraying room using casters. The powder spraying line gantry can be used to perform powder spraying operations on the small parts suspended on the frame 1. Multiple small parts can be suspended on the top beam 102 and the lower suspension support 104 for simultaneous powder spraying operations.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, the lower suspension support 104 includes horizontal support blocks 1040 disposed on the front and rear side walls of the column 101. A suspension limiting notch 1041 is provided on the horizontal support block 1040 and between the horizontal support block 1040 and the side wall of the column 101. The hook of the small part is suspended on the suspension limiting notch of the horizontal support block 1040 to prevent the hook of the small part from slipping off the horizontal support block 1040.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, a suspension crossbar 1042 is provided between the columns 101 on the same side of the base frame 100 and between the horizontal support blocks 1040 at the same horizontal height. The lower sidewalls at both ends of the suspension crossbar 1042 are provided with limiting slots 1043 that fit into the suspension limiting notches 1041. At both ends of the suspension crossbar 1042 and outside the limiting slots 1043, vertically penetrating limiting pin holes 1044 are provided. A rotatable pin is provided below the outer side of the horizontal support block 1040 and inserted into the limiting pin hole 1044. When a larger number of small parts need to be suspended for powder coating operations, a suspension crossbar 1042 is set between adjacent columns 101 and horizontal support blocks 1040 at the same height. The limiting slots 1043 at both ends of the suspension crossbar 1042 are engaged with the suspension limiting notches 1041. In order to prevent the suspension crossbar 1042 from loosening or falling, the limiting pin 1045 is inserted into the limiting pin holes 1044 at both ends of the suspension crossbar 1042, thereby fastening and fixing the suspension crossbar 1042 to the column 101.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the column 101 is a hollow tube. A slide opening 1010 for the horizontal support block 1040 to slide vertically up and down is provided on the side wall of the column 101. A vertical slider 1011 that slides up and down along the inside of the column 101 is provided in the slide opening 1010. The horizontal support block 1040 is horizontally positioned inside the column 101 via the vertical slider 1011. A rotatable limiting connector 1045, which is inserted into a limiting pin hole 1044, is provided below the outer sides of the upper and lower ends of the slide opening 1010. Spring pillars 1012 are provided on both outer walls of the vertical slider 1011. Limiting through holes 1013 of different heights are provided on the side walls of the column 101 on both sides of the slide opening 1010. The vertical slider 1011 is inserted through the spring pillars 1012. To adjust the height of the horizontal support block 1040 or the suspension crossbar 1042, a vertical slide opening 1010 is provided on the side wall of the column 101 within the limiting through hole 1013. This allows the horizontal support block 1040 to slide on the column 101 via the vertical slider 1011. When the horizontal support block 1040 is pushed upward, the vertical slider 1011 slides upward within the column 101, causing the horizontal support block 1040 to slide up and down. When the desired height is reached, the spring post on the side wall of the vertical slider 1011 is inserted into the limiting pin hole 1044, thereby restricting the vertical slider 1011 to the column 101, completing the adjustment of the horizontal support block 1040. Then, the suspension crossbar 1042 is installed on the horizontal support block 1040.

[0027] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the limiting connector 1045 includes a limiting support block 1045a and a plug rod 1045b. The lower end of the limiting support block 1045a is rotatably connected to the side wall of the column 101 via a support shaft 1045c. The top of the limiting support block 1045a has a horizontal support block 1045d above a horizontally extending limiting pin hole 1044. A rod hole (not shown) is provided at the free end of the horizontal support block 1045d. A plug rod 1045b is vertically inserted on one side of the free end of the horizontal support block 1045d and can extend into the limiting pin hole 1044. 1045b extends into the limiting pin hole 1044 through the rod hole on the free end of the transverse support block 1045d. After the suspension crossbar 1042 is installed on the horizontal support block 1040, the limiting support block 1045a is rotated vertically upward along the support shaft 1045c, so that the transverse support block 1045d is rotated to a horizontal position above the limiting pin hole 1044. Then, the insertion rod 1045b is inserted into the limiting pin hole 1044. The insertion rod 1045b can be threaded into the rod hole (not shown) of the transverse support block 1045d and threaded into the limiting pin hole 1044.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the base frame 100 is formed by welding square pipes together, and the top beam 102 is a round or square pipe. The first and last ends of the base frames 100 of adjacent frame units 10 are connected to each other by lower connectors 11, and the top beams 102 of adjacent frame units 10 are connected to each other by upper connectors 12. The first and last ends of adjacent base frames 100 are spliced ​​together by lower connectors 11, and the first and last ends of the top beams 102 are spliced ​​together by upper connectors 12 to form a frame 1. Insertion tubes 107 for inserting uprights 101 are provided on the side edges at the front and rear ends of the base frame 100. The lower end of the uprights 101... The end is inserted into the insertion tube 107. The outer wall of the upper end of the insertion tube 107 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column 101 near the upper end of the insertion tube 107 by setting up symmetrical flanges. The symmetrical flanges are fixed by bolts, which facilitates the quick insertion of the column 101 on the base frame 100. The entire frame 1 can be quickly and easily assembled. Reinforcing ribs 108 are provided on the side wall of the insertion tube 107 and along the transverse direction (vertical conveying direction) of the base frame 100, thereby strengthening the insertion connection between the insertion tube 107 and the column 101, thus facilitating the installation, transportation and storage of the entire placement fixture. The placement fixture of this invention is simple, convenient, and highly versatile. It can be used to hang powder coating and dry small parts of different tower crane products. Moreover, the fixture can be installed quickly, has a stable structure, strong load-bearing capacity, and can be set with multiple hanging points for small parts, thereby improving the efficiency of powder coating, accelerating the pace of powder coating and drying, enabling batch hanging and high-temperature baking, improving the utilization rate of powder coating and saving energy, and achieving the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
