Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel plate storage technology, and in particular to a special shelf for thick steel plates. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy plates are a type of sheet metal commonly used in various engineering and manufacturing fields, including shipbuilding, bridge construction, building structures, pressure vessel manufacturing, and oil and gas pipelines. Thicknesses typically range from 5 mm to 500 mm, although this range may vary depending on the country and standards.
[0003] Currently, steel plates are mainly stacked on the warehouse floor and stored in a sheet-by-sheet stacking manner. Due to the large range of specifications, it is impossible to ensure that each stack of the rack can hold steel plates of the same specifications. There is also a lack of fixing mechanism during the stacking process, which often results in tilting and inability to stack high. This not only fails to make full use of the stack space but also brings the safety risk of the warehouse tipping over. Furthermore, the lack of a moving mechanism for the rack restricts the storage location of the rack.
[0004] In view of this, this paper studies and improves the existing technology to provide a special rack for thick steel plates. This technology solves the problem that the steel plates lack a fixing mechanism during stacking, which often results in tilting and inability to stack them high. It also solves the problem that the racks lack a moving mechanism, which restricts their storage location. The aim of this technology is to solve the problem and improve its practical value. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and propose a special shelf for thick steel plates. This invention allows for manual rotation of a knob to enable a screw to drive a clamping plate to clamp steel plates of different specifications, providing adjustability. After the steel plate is placed, the sliding plate moves to compress air, pushing pistons A and B to achieve suction cup adhesion to the ground and adjustment of the support rod angle, thereby enhancing the stability of the shelf and preventing tipping.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a special shelf for wide and thick steel plates, including a frame body, a moving mechanism provided at the bottom of the frame body, an adsorption mechanism provided on the inner side of the frame body, a support mechanism provided on the outer side of the frame body, multiple sets of placement plates fixedly installed inside the frame body, a clamping mechanism provided on the surface of the placement plates, a slot provided at the bottom of the frame body, and a moving mechanism provided below the slot.
[0007] The clamping mechanism includes a slide groove, a lead screw is rotatably connected inside the slide groove, two sets of symmetrically arranged clamping plates are threaded to the outer wall of the lead screw, and multiple sets of springs A are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plates, with a rubber pad fixedly connected to one end of each spring A.
[0008] The adsorption mechanism includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly installed on the inner side of the frame body. A sleeve A is fixedly installed through the inside of the mounting frame. A piston A is slidably connected inside the sleeve A. A sliding rod A is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston A. A suction cup is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod A that extends out of the sleeve A.
[0009] The support mechanism includes a support rod, which is hinged to the outside of the frame via a rotating seat. A universal connector is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod, and a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the universal connector. A sleeve B is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame, and a piston B is slidably connected inside the sleeve B. A sliding rod B is fixedly connected to one side of the piston B, and a slider is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod B that extends through the outside of the sleeve B.
[0010] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a sliding plate that is slidably connected inside the slot, a support rod that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate, and a roller that is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod.
[0011] Preferably, a spring B is installed inside the empty slot, with the top end of the spring B fixedly connected to the inner wall of the empty slot and the bottom end of the spring B fixedly connected to the top end of the slide plate.
[0012] Preferably, a knob is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw that extends through the outer side of the placement plate, and a rubber sleeve is fitted on the outer surface of the knob.
[0013] Preferably, the mounting bracket is C-shaped, and an exhaust valve is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the suction cup.
[0014] Preferably, the empty groove and the sleeve A are fixedly connected by a connecting pipe, and the empty groove and the sleeve B are fixedly connected by a connecting pipe.
[0015] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on one side of the support rod, and the slider slides inside the limiting groove.
[0016] Preferably, the base is made of rubber material and the bottom of the base is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] In this invention, a special shelf for wide and thick steel plates is provided. The wide and thick steel plates to be stored are placed on the surface of the shelf. A knob is manually rotated, causing a lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes two sets of clamping plates to move towards each other, clamping the wide and thick steel plates. This achieves a clamping effect. The spacing between the two sets of clamping plates can be adjusted according to the specifications of the wide and thick steel plates, thus accommodating different sizes and providing good adjustability. After the wide and thick steel plates are placed, the weight of the plates causes the sliding plate to move upwards inside the slot, filling the slot. A portion of the air inside is compressed into the sleeve A through the connecting pipe, causing the gas to push piston A downwards. This, in turn, drives slide rod A to cause the suction cup to adhere to the ground, improving the stability of the frame support and preventing the frame from swaying. Simultaneously, the sliding plate compresses another portion of the air inside the slot into the sleeve B, causing the gas to push piston B to move. This causes slide rod B to move the slider within the limiting groove. The movement of the slider allows for synchronous adjustment of the angle of the support rod, enabling the base to move and effectively preventing the frame from tipping over, thereby improving the overall stability of the frame.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 A special shelf made of thick steel plate includes a frame 1, a moving mechanism at the bottom of the frame 1, an adsorption mechanism on the inner side of the frame 1, a support mechanism on the outer side of the frame 1, multiple sets of placement plates 2 fixedly installed inside the frame 1, a clamping mechanism on the surface of the placement plates 2, and a slot 9 at the bottom of the frame 1, with a moving mechanism below the slot 9.
[0027] The clamping mechanism includes a slide groove 3, with a lead screw 4 rotatably connected inside the slide groove 3. Two sets of symmetrically arranged clamping plates 5 are threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw 4. Multiple sets of springs A6 are fixedly connected to one side of each clamping plate 5, and a rubber pad 7 is fixedly connected to one end of each spring A6. First, the thick steel plate to be stored is placed on the surface of the placement plate 2. Then, the user manually rotates the knob 8, causing the knob 8 to drive the lead screw 4 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 4 causes the two sets of clamping plates 5 to move towards each other, thus clamping the thick steel plate. This achieves the clamping effect. Furthermore, the user can adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping plates 5 according to the specifications of the thick steel plate, thereby accommodating thick steel plates of different specifications and providing good adjustability.
[0028] The adsorption mechanism includes a mounting frame 14, which is fixedly installed inside the frame 1. A sleeve A15 is fixedly installed through the inside of the mounting frame 14. A piston A16 is slidably connected inside the sleeve A15. A sliding rod A17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston A16. A suction cup 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod A17 that extends out of the sleeve A15. After the thick steel plate is placed, the sliding plate 10 moves upward inside the slot 9 due to the gravity of the thick steel plate. The sliding plate 10 squeezes a part of the air inside the slot 9 into the sleeve A15 through the connecting pipe. This part of the air pushes the piston A16 downward. The piston A16 then drives the sliding rod A17 to make the suction cup 18 adsorb onto the ground, which can improve the stability of the frame 1 and prevent the frame 1 from shaking.
[0029] The support mechanism includes a support rod 19, which is hinged to the outside of the frame 1 via a rotating seat. A universal connector 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 19, and a base 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the universal connector 20. A sleeve B22 is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame 1. A piston B23 is slidably connected inside the sleeve B22. A sliding rod B24 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston B23, and a slider 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod B24 that extends through the outside of the sleeve B22. When the sliding plate 10 moves upward inside the slot 9, the sliding plate 10 compresses another part of the air inside the slot 9 into the sleeve B22 through the connecting pipe. This causes the gas to push the piston B23 to move. As the piston B23 moves, it drives the sliding rod B24 to move, which in turn drives the slider 25 to move inside the limiting groove. The movement of the slider 25 allows for synchronous adjustment of the angle of the support rod 19, which in turn moves the base 21. This effectively prevents the frame 1 from tipping over, thereby improving the overall stability of the frame 1.
[0030] Specifically, a spring B13 is installed inside the slot 9. The top end of the spring B13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot 9, and the bottom end of the spring B13 is fixedly connected to the top end of the slide plate 10. The elastic potential energy of the spring B13 facilitates the reset of the slide plate 10.
[0031] Specifically, the moving mechanism includes a slide plate 10, which is slidably connected inside the slot 9. The bottom of the slide plate 10 is fixedly connected to a support rod 11, and a roller 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 11. The roller 12 allows the frame 1 to move flexibly, thereby better adapting to different spaces and storage needs and improving the space utilization of the warehouse.
[0032] Specifically, a knob 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 4 that extends through the outer side of the placement plate 2. A rubber sleeve is fitted on the outer surface of the knob 8. The knob 8 can be rotated to control the movement of the lead screw 4, thereby clamping or releasing the steel plate. The rubber sleeve provides a good grip and anti-slip effect.
[0033] Specifically, the mounting bracket 14 is C-shaped, which can maintain sufficient structural strength and improve the stability of the mounting bracket 14. An exhaust valve is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the suction cup 18. The exhaust valve can quickly break the vacuum, allowing the suction cup 18 to quickly detach from the ground, thus improving the efficiency of operation.
[0034] Specifically, the empty tank 9 is fixedly connected to the sleeve A15 through a connecting pipe, and the empty tank 9 is fixedly connected to the sleeve B22 through a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe facilitates the delivery of gas, thereby enabling subsequent operations.
[0035] Specifically, a limiting groove is provided on one side of the support rod 19, and the slider 25 slides inside the limiting groove. The angle of the support rod 19 can be adjusted by moving the slider 25 on the inner wall of the limiting groove.
[0036] Specifically, the base 21 is made of rubber material and has anti-slip texture on the bottom. The anti-slip texture on the bottom of the base 21 can provide additional friction, increase the grip of the base 21 on the ground, and prevent the frame 1 from sliding or shaking when subjected to force.
[0037] Working principle: First, place the thick steel plate to be stored on the surface of the placement plate 2. Then, the user manually rotates the knob 8, causing the screw 4 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 4 causes the two sets of clamping plates 5 to move towards each other, clamping the thick steel plate. This achieves the clamping effect. The user can adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping plates 5 according to the specifications of the thick steel plate, thus accommodating different sizes of thick steel plates and providing good adjustability. After the thick steel plate is placed, the weight of the thick steel plate causes the sliding plate 10 to move upward inside the slot 9. The sliding plate 10 compresses some of the air inside the slot 9 through the connecting pipe into the sleeve. Inside pipe A15, this portion of gas pushes piston A16 downwards, which in turn drives slide rod A17 to cause suction cup 18 to adhere to the ground, improving the stability of the frame 1 and preventing it from swaying. When slide plate 10 moves upwards inside slot 9, it compresses another portion of the air inside slot 9 through connecting pipe into sleeve B22, causing the gas to push piston B23 to move. As piston B23 moves, it drives slide rod B24 to move, which in turn drives slider 25 to move inside the limiting groove. The movement of slider 25 allows for synchronous adjustment of the angle of support rod 19, enabling the base 21 to move. This effectively prevents the frame 1 from tipping over, thereby improving the overall stability of the frame 1.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
