Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present application will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a storage turntable, including:

[0031] Circular turntable 10, the circular turntable 10 being used to store goods;

[0032] The support module 20 includes a central support column 21 that passes through the annular turntable 10, and a support sleeve 22 that is movably connected to the annular turntable 10.

[0033] A folding arm module 30 is disposed between the annular turntable 10 and the support module 20. The folding arm module 30 has an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, the folding arm module 30 is linked to the annular turntable 10 to unfold and move away from the central support column 21. In the folded state, the folding arm module 30 is linked to the annular turntable 10 to retract and move closer to the central support column 21.

[0034] The annular turntable 10 can be used to store goods and rotates horizontally. The support module 20 includes a central support column 21 and a support sleeve 22 movably connected to the annular turntable 10. The central support column 21 passes through the annular turntable 10, providing structural stability; the support sleeve 22 connects to the annular turntable 10, allowing it to rotate around the central support column 21. The folding arm module 30 is disposed between the annular turntable 10 and the central support column 21 and has two states: an unfolded state and a folded state.

[0035] Deployed State: When the folding arm module 30 is in the deployed state, the linked annular turntable 10 unfolds and moves away from the central support column 21. In the deployed state, the annular turntable 10 can expand its effective working radius in the horizontal direction.

[0036] Folded state: When the folding arm module 30 is in the folded state, the linked annular turntable 10 is stored and close to the central support column 21, which helps to minimize the footprint of the storage turntable, and at the same time provides a more compact state, for example, when not in use or when it needs to be stored in a limited space.

[0037] Therefore, the presence of the folding arm module 30 allows the annular turntable 10 to switch between unfolded and folded states, providing greater flexibility. Simultaneously, it expands the working range when needed and minimizes the footprint when not in use. In the folded state, the turntable is compactly positioned near the central support column 21, effectively reducing the footprint of the storage turntable in its non-working state and contributing to improved space utilization. Through the linkage of the folding arm module 30 and the annular turntable 10, the operator can easily unfold and fold, making the storage turntable more convenient to use. The combination of the central support column 21 and the support sleeve 22 ensures the structural stability of the annular turntable 10 during operation, enabling it to carry and rotate goods.

[0038] In a specific implementation, the central support column 21 includes a first end and a second end facing away from each other, and the storage turntable also includes:

[0039] The base 40 includes a first bearing assembly 41 and a base plate 42. The first bearing assembly 41 is used to connect the first end of the central support column 21 and to rotate the central support column 21. The base plate 42 is used to fix the storage turntable to the ground.

[0040] The base 40 includes a first bearing assembly 41 and a base plate 42. The first bearing assembly 41 is connected to the first end of the central support column 21 and is responsible for supporting the rotation of the central support column 21. The base plate 42 is used to fix the storage turntable to the ground, ensuring the stability of the entire storage turntable.

[0041] Therefore, the first bearing assembly 41 facilitates the rotation of the central support column 21. The rotational performance of the central support column 21 affects the rotation of the entire storage turntable, and the first bearing assembly 41 provides the necessary support and stability, ensuring that the storage turntable can operate smoothly during rotation.

[0042] In a specific implementation, the base 40 also includes a force-bearing ball 43, which is disposed inside the first bearing assembly 41 and abuts against the first end of the central support column 21.

[0043] The force-bearing sphere 43 is housed within the first bearing assembly 41 of the base 40 and abuts against the first end of the central support column 21. This can be understood as providing an effective force-bearing connection point between the first end of the central support column 21 and the first bearing assembly 41. Force analysis shows that during operation, when the turntable is subjected to external forces or loads, these forces are transmitted to the base 40 through the central support column 21. The force-bearing sphere 43, as a key component connecting the central support column 21 and the base 40, plays a crucial role in bearing and transmitting forces, effectively concentrating all the external gravity at a single central point and optimizing radial friction. The first bearing assembly 41 not only supports the rotation of the central support column 21 but also transmits the received forces to the base 40 through the force-bearing sphere 43, helping to ensure the stability and reliability of the turntable under rotation and load conditions.

[0044] This can be understood as follows: the storage turntable mentioned in this application collects all the gravity from the periphery at a central point (i.e., the point of contact of the force-bearing sphere 43) to optimize radial friction. Simultaneously, a force-bearing sphere 43 (e.g., a steel ball) is placed at the bottom of the central point to provide vertical pressure. Furthermore, the contact area at the pressure point is made infinitely close to zero, thereby minimizing vertical gravitational friction to near zero. Because all the gravity is concentrated at the central point, for example, in a storage container with a diameter of approximately 4 meters, goods can fall into the annular turntable 10 from 2 / 3 of its length to create a lever effect, similar to achieving a "small force can move a large weight" effect. That is, only a small amount of force is needed to make the annular turntable 10 rotate.

[0045] Therefore, the placement of the force-bearing sphere 43 also reduces friction between the central support column 21 and the base 40, helping to ensure the smooth rotation of the central support column 21 and improving the efficiency of the storage turntable. By balancing the force and reducing friction, wear on components can be slowed down, thereby extending the service life of the entire storage turntable. At the same time, the aforementioned storage turntable does not require electrical power for operation, saving energy.

[0046] In a specific implementation, the portion of the central support column 21 near its first end is extendable to adjust the distance between the annular turntable 10 and the base 40. The projected diameter of the annular turntable 10 on the ground can be between 2 meters and 4 meters, for example, 2 meters, 2.1 meters, 2.2 meters, 3.2 meters, 3.3 meters, 3.5 meters, and 4 meters. The length of the central support column 21 is between 0.4 meters and 1.5 meters, for example, 0.4 meters, 0.6 meters, 0.7 meters, 1.4 meters, and 1.5 meters.

[0047] The portion of the central support column 21 near its first end is designed to be telescopic, meaning its length can be adjusted. This adjustment can be achieved through mechanical structures or devices, allowing the length of the central support column 21 to vary within a certain range. This application does not limit the implementation method. The purpose of the telescopic central support column 21 is to adjust the distance between the annular turntable 10 and the ground. When it is necessary to adjust the vertical distance between the annular turntable 10 and the ground, the operator can achieve this by adjusting the telescopic portion of the central support column 21. In practical applications, the support rod of one storage turntable can be shortened, while the support rod of the other storage turntable can be lengthened or kept unchanged, so that the shortened storage turntable can be partially placed under the other storage turntable, saving space.

[0048] In a specific implementation, the folding arm module 30 includes multiple rod units 31. One end of each rod unit 31 is movably disposed at the rod fixing point of the support sleeve, and the other end of each rod unit 31 is distributed on the upper surface of the annular turntable 10.

[0049] The folding arm module 30 consists of multiple boom units 31. Each boom unit 31 has two ends, one end of which is designed to be movably fixed to the boom fixing point of the central support column 21, while the other end is distributed on the upper surface of the annular turntable 10. One end of each boom unit 31 is fixed to the boom fixing point of the central support column 21 through a movable design, allowing the boom to move within a certain range and form an adjustable connection with the central support column 21.

[0050] Therefore, the movable connection design of each boom unit 31 provides flexibility to the folding arm module 30. By adjusting the position of the booms, the unfolded state of the folding arm can be adjusted to adapt to different working scenarios and needs. The distributed arrangement of the boom units 31 on the upper surface of the annular turntable 10 allows the entire folding arm module 30 to evenly support the turntable, enhancing the stability and balance of the storage turntable. When the folding arm module 30 is in the folded state, the distributed design of each boom unit 31 helps to compactly store each boom unit 31 on the annular turntable 10, reducing the footprint of the entire storage turntable.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the annular turntable 10 includes: a turntable body 11 and a blocking ring 12 disposed on the outer periphery of the turntable body 11; the blocking ring 12 is used to prevent goods stored in the turntable body 11 from falling off. Specifically, the included angle between the turntable body 11 and the blocking ring 12 can be from 30° to 60°, for example, 30°, 35°, 40°, 50°, 51°, 52°, 53°, 55°, and 60°.

[0052] The turntable body 11 is the main body of the annular turntable 10. It can be a flat or slightly inclined surface to accommodate and support goods placed at a fixed point, and to spread the goods flat on the turntable body 11 by rotation. The blocking ring 12 is set on the outer periphery of the turntable body 11, surrounding the entire turntable. Its function is to form an edge blocking structure to prevent the goods on the turntable from falling off when moving.

[0053] Therefore, the main effect of the guard ring 12 is to ensure that the goods moving on the turntable will not fall off accidentally, which helps to maintain the integrity and safety of the goods, prevent damage or loss, and thus enhance the stability and reliability of the entire annular turntable 10.

[0054] In a specific implementation, when in the unfolded state, the angle between each of the boom units 31 in the folding arm module 30 and the plane of the annular turntable 10 is 15° to 30°.

[0055] In a specific implementation, the support module 20 further includes a second bearing assembly 23, which is fixed to the support sleeve 22, and the central support column 21 passes through the bearing hole of the second bearing assembly 23.
