Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tempered glass insulator production, and more specifically to an auxiliary device suitable for mounting semi-finished insulators. Background Technology

[0002] Because the stacking of semi-finished glass insulators is done manually, the workpieces are placed upright on a base plate, filling the plate completely. Then, inverted workpieces are placed in the gaps between the laid workpieces, followed by partitions. Workpieces are then arranged on these partitions in the same manner as the next layer, and so on, with multiple layers of partitions and workpieces laid on the base plate. Once the stacking is complete, the entire pallet of semi-finished products is wrapped in film and stored in a warehouse for later use or sale. However, manual stacking inevitably leads to uneven placement and tilting of the pallet, resulting in an unsightly package. During warehouse stacking, protruding parts of the uneven products are prone to collisions and damage, and tilted pallets are susceptible to falling pieces and collapse. To address these issues... Existing technologies for insulator support, such as the "A Bamboo Piece Box Support Structure for Disc-Shaped Suspension Insulators" disclosed in application number "CN202022936949.6", include a cover plate, a base, and several bamboo piece boxes covering insulators placed between the cover plate and the base. Each layer has the same number of bamboo piece boxes, and adjacent bamboo piece boxes are positioned on the same vertical line. Several accommodating spaces are formed between the bamboo piece boxes in the columns on both sides of the base and their adjacent columns. Wooden blocks, rectangular in shape, are inclinedly placed within each accommodating space, with their four sides respectively abutting the corresponding bamboo piece box. This support method involves stacking and covering the workpiece side-by-side with bamboo pieces, and then stacking each bundle after wrapping. This is not only cumbersome and involves many steps, but also costly, and is not suitable for the need for quick storage of semi-finished glass insulators as required by this application.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to design an auxiliary device that can help workers stack pallets neatly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing an auxiliary device suitable for mounting semi-finished insulators.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An auxiliary device for mounting semi-finished insulators includes a frame, a frame groove, and a moving component. The frame groove is formed on the frame, and the front of the frame groove is open to form a mounting opening for mounting components and worker operation. The width of the mounting opening is greater than or equal to the opening width of the frame groove. The top and bottom of the frame groove are open through. The moving component is located at the bottom of the frame. The width of the frame groove is adapted to the width of the partition plate used for mounting. The groove shape of the cross-section of the frame groove is adapted to the shape of the inner end of the partition plate inserted into the frame groove.

[0007] Preferably, the outer end of the partition extends beyond or is flush with the loading opening of the frame groove.

[0008] Preferably, the frame body has a frame edge on the outside of the loading port for assisting in frame retraction.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary device further includes a aligning component that can be pressed and aligned with the frame, the aligning component including at least an aligning surface that is disposed facing the loading opening and perpendicular to the outer edge of the partition.

[0010] Preferably, the aligning component includes a push plate and a second movable component located at the bottom of the push plate. The aligning surface is the inner side of the push plate. Side aligning plates extend from both sides of the push plate toward the frame to form a shallow frame groove. The outer end of the partition extends beyond the loading opening. The sum of the depth of the frame groove and the depth of the shallow frame groove is equal to or less than the side length of the partition.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary device also includes an outer casing component and a base plate. The outer casing component includes a core rod provided on one side of the frame for fitting the core tube of the outer casing component and a fixing component provided on the other side of the frame for fixing the free end of the outer casing component. An inner push rod is provided on at least two of the inner corners of the four sides of the base plate.

[0012] Preferably, the fastener is a groove formed on the frame edge and a strip that can be snapped into the groove. The length direction of the groove is set along the height direction of the frame. The free end of the outer part can be fixed by pressing the strip into the groove; or the fastener is a clip hinged to the frame edge.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping part on the inner side of the clip is provided with an adhesive strip, and the clamping part on the frame edge is planar or arc-shaped; at least one of the outer surface of the pressure strip and the inner groove surface of the pressure groove is provided with a rubber layer.

[0014] Preferably, the partition plate has through holes or slots corresponding to the inner push rod, which can be sleeved or adapted to the inner push rod.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate has a through-slot hole along the left and right direction, and the bottom of the frame walls on the left and right sides of the frame body has an insertion hole corresponding to the through-slot hole. The insertion hole is located near the loading port. The auxiliary device also includes a through rod that passes through the through-slot hole and the insertion hole in sequence.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. This application involves setting a base plate inside a frame groove, with the inner end of the base plate abutting against the inner end of the frame groove for limiting positioning. Then, the moving part is braked and positioned. The workpiece is then laid on the base plate, with the edge of the workpiece abutting against the wall of the frame groove. Multiple workpieces are stacked in a row, with gaps between them, forming a full layer. After laying one layer, a partition is placed on top, with the size of the partition matching that of the base plate to fit the frame groove. The inner and side ends of the partition are against the wall of the frame groove. Another layer of workpieces is then laid, and another partition is placed, and so on. Once a certain height is reached but does not exceed the top height of the frame groove, the workpiece is supported. Then, the moving part is used to remove the workpiece from the frame, and it is then wrapped with an outer packaging material such as film or other outer packaging cloth before being put into storage. The frame's limiting mechanism helps workers quickly, efficiently, and neatly palletize products, ensuring a stable center of gravity and preventing uneven product placement or tilting of the pallet. This results in more aesthetically pleasing palletizing and eliminates transportation and stacking damage caused by uneven product placement.

[0018] 2. This application has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is a cost-effective product. It can not only ensure that the pallets are neatly arranged, but also assist in wrapping the outer packaging to prevent the entire pallet of workpieces from being pulled off-center during the wrapping process after palletizing, which is very safe.

[0028] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] An auxiliary device for supporting semi-finished insulators includes a frame 1, a frame groove 2, and a moving component 3. The moving component 3 can be a brakeable caster located at the bottom of the frame. The frame groove is formed on the frame, with an open front side forming a loading opening 21 for loading components and worker operation. The width of the loading opening is greater than or equal to the opening width of the frame groove. The top and bottom of the frame groove are open through the groove. The moving component 3 is located at the bottom of the frame. The width of the frame groove is adapted to the width of a partition 4 used for supporting components. The cross-sectional shape of the frame groove is adapted to the shape of the inner end of the partition inserted into the frame groove. The outer end of the partition extends beyond or is flush with the loading opening of the frame groove. Because the partition has a certain width, extending beyond or being flush with the loading opening provides the worker with a larger operating space and field of vision, making it easier to lay the workpiece. When the partition extends beyond the loading port, more than half of the workpiece placed at the outermost end is retracted into the frame groove, thereby ensuring that the workpieces located on the left, right and inner edge edges can abut against the groove wall of the frame groove, and the workpieces on the same side edge are neatly arranged in a straight line.

[0031] This application sets the bottom support plate inside the frame groove, with the inner end of the bottom support plate abutting against the inner end of the frame groove for limiting positioning. Then, the moving part 1 is braked and positioned. The workpiece 10 is then laid on the bottom support plate, with the edge of the workpiece abutting against the wall of the frame groove. Multiple workpieces are stacked in a row with gaps between them, forming a layer. After laying one layer, a partition is placed on top. The size of the partition is the same as that of the bottom support plate to fit the frame groove. The inner end and both sides are against the wall of the frame groove. Then, another layer of workpieces is laid and another partition is placed, and so on. After stacking to a certain height without exceeding the top height of the frame groove, the workpiece is supported. Then, the moving part 1 is used to remove it from the frame. Finally, the workpiece is wrapped with an outer packaging material such as film or other outer packaging cloth before being put into storage. The frame's limiting mechanism helps workers quickly, efficiently, and neatly palletize products, ensuring a stable center of gravity and preventing uneven product placement or tilting of the pallet. This results in more aesthetically pleasing palletizing and eliminates transportation and stacking damage caused by uneven product placement.

[0032] The frame body has a frame edge 11 on the outer side of the loading port for assisting in retracting the frame. Since the frame body needs to cooperate with the base plate, and in order to ensure the stability when laying the workpiece, the frame body needs a certain self-weight. In this embodiment, the frame body can be a metal frame formed by bending a metal plate. The frame edge can facilitate the workers to push the frame body before and after laying the workpiece, while also ensuring that the frame body is not easily deformed and can be used effectively for a long time.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] The difference from the above embodiment lies in that the auxiliary device also includes a aligning component 5 that can press and align with the frame. The aligning component includes at least an aligning surface 51 facing the loading opening and perpendicular to the outer edge of the partition. The groove wall of the frame serves as the workpiece placement boundary abutment surface. While placing workpieces at the edges is relatively convenient and the overall placement effect is much better than relying solely on manual positioning, the placement accuracy of workpieces in the middle is not high. This results in occasional uneven heights at the top of reversed workpieces placed between upright workpieces, leading to uneven support force on the upper partition and posing a safety hazard. The aligning component pushes the manually laid workpieces inward into the frame groove, achieving an aligning effect. This improves the compactness of the workpiece arrangement within the same layer and ensures that the top heights of reversed workpieces within the same layer are as consistent and uniform as possible, thus guaranteeing the levelness and uniformity of the upper partition. This further improves the overall neatness of the assembled tray. After laying each layer of workpieces, the workpieces can be aligned by pushing them inwards towards the frame groove using the aligning component. Then, the partition board can be laid. Alternatively, the alignment can be performed after the entire pallet of workpieces has been laid. A rubber layer is provided on the aligning surface to reduce potential damage to the workpieces during alignment.

[0035] The aligning component includes a push plate 52 and a moving component 6 located at the bottom of the push plate. The aligning surface is the inner side of the push plate. Side aligning plates 53 extend from both sides of the push plate toward the frame, forming a shallow frame groove. The outer end of the partition extends beyond the loading opening. The sum of the depth of the frame groove and the depth of the shallow frame groove is equal to or less than the side length of the partition. The aligning component has a shallow frame groove that matches the frame groove, i.e., the width of the frame groove is equal to the width of the shallow frame groove, thereby allowing the workpiece to be aligned within a regular rectangle or square.

[0036] Example 3:

[0037] The difference from the above embodiments lies in that the auxiliary device also includes an outer wrapping component and a base plate 7. The outer wrapping component includes a core rod 12 disposed on one side of the frame for fitting the core tube of the outer wrapping component, and a fixing component disposed on the other side of the frame for fixing the free end of the outer wrapping component. At least two inner corners of the four sides of the base plate are respectively provided with inner push rods 71. In the prior art, the workpieces are stacked and then wrapped by personnel. During the wrapping process, to ensure the tightness of the wrap, manual pulling generally exerts a certain pulling force on the entire pallet of workpieces. Therefore, to reduce the possibility of this pulling force causing the entire pallet of workpieces to tilt, the prior art uses simple wrapping with film.

[0038] In this application, the outer packaging is pre-installed on the frame before the pallet is placed. This ensures that at least after the workpieces are stacked, the inner and left / right sides of the entire pallet are covered with the outer packaging. The components are then aligned, and the outer packaging wraps around to cover the outer sides of the entire pallet. The ends of the outer packaging are then secured by sewing, attaching, or clamping. The outer packaging can be existing film, or a thicker and stronger fabric or strips, etc. The strips can be a structure similar to bamboo slips, made of parallel bars connected by wire, providing a more stable outer covering for the entire pallet and preventing damage from collisions between adjacent pallets. A high-strength outer packaging better prevents workpieces from slipping off the sides.

[0039] Specifically, the core tube of the outer packaging is first fitted onto the mandrel. For example, the film-coated core tube is fitted onto the mandrel. Then, the outer packaging is pulled out to the frame edge on the other side of the frame. After fixing the free end of the pulled-out outer packaging to the frame edge, the moving frame is engaged with the bottom support plate. As the bottom support plate enters the frame, the inner push rod presses the outer packaging into the frame groove. This method of pressing in with the inner push rod on the bottom support plate makes the palletized product more securely wrapped. After palletizing and wrapping, the inner push rod can also act as a guard rod for uprighting the pallet, ensuring that the palletized product is more stable and will not tilt, making it safer during handling. Therefore, at least two frame edges should be provided on one side of the bottom support plate, or an inner push rod can be provided at each of the four corners of the bottom support plate. The inner push rod can be designed as a cylindrical, rotatable rod, making it easier and smoother for the outer packaging to be pushed into the frame groove. The inner push rod can be designed to be detachably mounted on the base plate. When there are four inner push rods, the inner push rods on the outside of the base plate can be installed after the workpieces are stacked, so as to facilitate manual operation when stacking workpieces.

[0040] Example 4:

[0041] The difference from the above embodiments lies in that the fixing member is a groove 13 formed on the frame edge and a strip 14 that can be snapped into the groove. The length direction of the groove is set along the height direction of the frame. The free end of the outer package can be fixed by pressing the strip into the groove; or the fixing member is a clip 15 hinged to the frame edge. The outer package can be fixed by interlocking the groove and the strip, or by using a clip.

[0042] The clamping part on the inner side of the clip is provided with an adhesive strip 151, and the corresponding clamping part on the frame edge is planar or arc-shaped; at least one of the outer surface of the pressure strip and the inner groove surface of the pressure groove is provided with a rubber layer 141. The adhesive strip makes the gripping force applied by the clip to the outer package more secure, ensuring that the outer package can be pushed in under tension when pushed inward, and at the same time, the free end of the outer package is not easy to come out under the tension force, making the operation more stable.

[0043] Example 5:

[0044] The difference from the above embodiment is that the partition plate has through holes or slots 41 corresponding to the inner push rod, which can be sleeved or adapted to the inner push rod. The frame slot is a square slot, and the partition plate can be provided with through slots to facilitate the matching of the partition plate with the inner push rod and the frame slot, or holes can be directly drilled in the partition plate to directly sleeve the partition plate with the inner push rod, thereby making the connection between each partition plate and the inner push rod more stable, making the entire pallet more stable, preventing tilting, and ensuring safe transportation.

[0045] Example 6:

[0046] The difference from the above embodiment is that the bottom of the base plate has a through slot hole along the left and right direction, and the bottom of the frame wall on the left and right sides of the frame body has an insertion hole 16 corresponding to the through slot hole. The insertion hole is located near the loading port. The auxiliary device also includes a through rod 8 that is sequentially inserted into the through slot hole and the insertion hole.

[0047] During the stacking of workpieces, some force will be applied to the groove wall of the frame, especially when aligning components. To ensure the stability of the frame and prevent it from tilting backward, and to ensure good fit between the frame groove, the base plate, and the partition, a through rod is used to pass through the groove hole and the insertion hole. This limits the frame relative to the base plate, thus ensuring the stability of the frame. The through rod, groove hole, and insertion hole can be set as a group, or the through rod and groove hole can be square or other non-circular shapes to prevent the frame from tilting backward. In use, after aligning the frame and the base plate, the through rod is inserted and fixed. After the workpieces are stacked, the through rod is removed. The base plate is a frame structure with a flat top and a hollow bottom with through holes around the edges to facilitate forklift lifting and handling after stacking.

[0048] This application involves placing a base plate within a frame groove, with its inner end abutting against the inner end of the groove for positioning. A braking mechanism is then used to position the moving component. Workpieces are then placed on the base plate, with the edges against the groove wall. Multiple workpieces are stacked alternately, one layer at a time, with gaps between them. After one layer is completed, a partition is placed on top, its size matching the base plate to fit the groove. The inner and side ends of the partition rest against the groove wall. Another layer of workpieces is then placed, followed by another partition, and so on. Once a certain height is reached without exceeding the top of the groove, the pallet is complete. The moving component then removes the pallet from the frame and wraps it with an outer material such as film or other covering before storing it. The frame's positioning mechanism assists workers in quickly, efficiently, and neatly palletizing, ensuring a stable center of gravity and preventing uneven product placement or tilting of the pallet. This results in a more aesthetically pleasing pallet and eliminates transport and stacking damage caused by uneven product placement.
