Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tire storage, and in particular relates to a multi-layer gravity tire storage device. Background Art

[0002] The daily storage of aircraft tires requires that they be placed upright and rotated at a certain angle at regular intervals to ensure that the tires are evenly stressed and prevent deformation due to prolonged stress at the same point. Currently, the storage of aircraft tires still uses the traditional method, using a steel frame to suspend the tires above the ground, but this method only achieves multi-layer storage of tires. During the daily storage of tires, in order to prevent the tires from deforming during storage, the tires need to be rotated at a certain angle at regular intervals. The traditional storage method requires manual rotation. However, manual rotation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also the rotation angle is not uniform, which affects tire maintenance. On the other hand, in order to prevent the tires from deforming, the tires need to be stored upright, and the tires are adjacent to each other, resulting in squeezing between the tires, which can easily damage the tires. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-layer gravity tire storage device to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A multi-layer gravity tire storage device includes several freely assembled inclined storage modules, the inclined storage modules include a storage frame, an inclined support plate arranged at the lower part of the storage frame, a space for storing tires is formed between the inclined support plate and the upper end of the storage frame, a plurality of spaced through holes are provided on the inclined support plate, baffles that can be raised and lowered relative to the through holes are provided in the through holes, a transmission assembly corresponding to the baffle and used to drive the baffle to rise and fall is provided at the lower end of the inclined support plate, and all the transmission assemblies are connected in series by chains, and also include a drive motor for driving the chain to move, and the drive motor drives the transmission assembly through the chain.

[0005] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes an intermittent gear located at the lower end of the baffle and rotatable, a sprocket coaxially arranged with the intermittent gear and connected to the chain, a rotatable transmission shaft located at the lower end of the intermittent gear, a transmission shaft gear arranged on the transmission shaft and cooperating with the intermittent gear, and a cam for driving the baffle to move up and down is also arranged on the transmission shaft.

[0006] In one embodiment, the tooth distribution ranges on all the intermittent gears are different, so that after the drive motor is started, only one intermittent gear is engaged with its corresponding transmission shaft gear at the same time.

[0007] In one embodiment, a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion are relatively arranged at the lower end of the baffle, the intermittent gear is rotatably arranged on the second mounting portion through a rotating shaft, and both ends of the transmission shaft are rotatably connected to the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion respectively.

[0008] In one embodiment, sliding guide rails are provided on opposite sides of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, and both sides of the baffle are slidably connected to the two sliding guide rails respectively.

[0009] In one embodiment, notches are provided on both sides of the lower end of the baffle, and a roller for cooperating with the cam is provided at the lower end of the baffle and between the two notches.

[0010] In one embodiment, the storage frame is open on all sides, with its left and right ends being the loading and unloading ends of the tires, guardrails being provided on its front and rear ends, and universal balls being provided on the inner sides of the guardrails in contact with the tires.

[0011] In one embodiment, a first support rod is provided at the lower left end of the storage frame, a second support rod is provided at the lower right end, and a third support rod is provided at the upper right end, and the height of the first support rod is higher than the height of the second support rod.

[0012] In one embodiment, the inclined support plate is inclined to the right relative to the horizontal plane, and the left end thereof is higher than the right end.

[0013] In one embodiment, there are more than two inclined storage modules, which are arranged in a vertical stacking arrangement, or in a horizontal stacking arrangement, or in a vertical stacking arrangement and a horizontal stacking arrangement.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention adopts a modular design, including a number of freely assembled tilted storage modules. Users can arrange the tilted storage modules in a stacked arrangement, a left-right stacking arrangement, or a combination of the two, based on the site and storage requirements. The layout is flexible and expandable.

[0015] (2) The present invention uses an inclined storage module to store tires. The tires are loaded and unloaded from the left and loaded and unloaded from the right. The tires can roll down by gravity. When the tires need to be rotated to change their acceptance points, only the bottom tire needs to be removed. The tires behind can automatically roll in turn by a distance of about the outer diameter of the tire, thereby realizing the rotation of the tires and completing the maintenance of all tires.

[0016] (3) Based on the structure of the inclined storage module, the present invention combines the structural design of the baffle and the transmission assembly. The baffle blocks the lower part of the tire, thereby separating the adjacent tires and preventing the tires from interfering with each other. On the other hand, for the control of the baffle, the present invention is based on the structural design of the transmission assembly of the intermittent gear combined with the chain. All baffles can be controlled by a drive motor, and only one baffle can be lowered at the same time, thereby realizing the same drive motor to control the raising and lowering of baffles matched with different transmission assemblies, effectively simplifying the drive structure and reducing equipment costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to have a clearer understanding and knowledge of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are only used to explain the present invention and facilitate understanding. The technical solutions provided by the present invention are not limited to the technical solutions provided by the following embodiments, and the technical solutions provided by the embodiments should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-layer gravity tire storage device, which is composed of a plurality of freely assembled inclined storage modules. Users can flexibly combine the plurality of inclined storage modules according to the site and storage requirements, for example, in an up-and-down stacking arrangement, or in a left-and-right stacking arrangement, or in a combination of up-and-down stacking and left-and-right stacking arrangement. The inclined storage modules adjacent to each other are connected in a fixed manner, for example, by bolt connection, welding, or the like.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inclined storage module includes the following structure: 1. Storage framework structure The storage frame is welded from a rectangular steel frame (other conventional materials may also be used). It has an open structure on all sides, with tire loading and unloading ports on the left and right ends. Taking the figure as an example, the left end is the tire inlet and the right end is the tire outlet. The upper end of the storage frame is the top plate, and the lower end is fixedly installed with an inclined support plate. The inclined support plate and the upper top plate form a space for vertical storage of tires. Guardrails are set on the front and rear sides of the storage frame to prevent the tires from tipping over. Several universal balls are installed at equal intervals on the inner side of the guardrail to reduce the friction resistance between the tire and the guardrail when the tire is rolling, thereby avoiding tire damage.

[0026] A first support rod is provided at the lower left end of the storage frame, a second support rod is provided at the lower right end, and a third support rod is provided at the upper right end. Preferably, the first support rod, the second support rod, and the third support rod are integrally formed with the storage frame, wherein the first support rod is taller than the second support rod, so that the storage frame as a whole is tilted to the lower right. When the tilted storage modules are stacked up and down, the first support rod of the tilted storage module at the upper end is aligned with the upper left end of the tilted storage module at the lower end, and the second support rod is aligned with the third support rod of the tilted storage module at the lower end, and then the modules are fixed together by welding, bolting, or the like.

[0027] 2. Inclined support plate structure The inclined support plate is inclined to the right relative to the horizontal plane, and its left end is higher than the right end, and the inclination angle is preferably 5°-10°; the two ends of the inclined support plate are fixedly connected to the two ends of the storage frame, for example: welding, bolt connection, or an integrated structure can be used. Based on the above structural design, it is possible to use gravity to guide the tire to slide to the right; the inclined support plate is provided with through holes arranged at equal intervals, and arranged at intervals along the inclined direction, and a liftable baffle is passed through the through hole, which blocks the lower part of the tire, and the movement and resistance of the tire are achieved by lifting and lowering the baffle.

[0028] 3. Transmission components Each baffle is equipped with a corresponding transmission assembly, which enables the baffle to be raised and lowered. All transmission assemblies are connected in series via a chain. The transmission assembly is based on a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, which are positioned opposite each other at the lower end of the baffle and are fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the inclined support plate, for example, by welding.

[0029] The transmission assembly includes an intermittent gear located at the lower end of the baffle and rotatable, a sprocket coaxially arranged with the intermittent gear and meshing with the chain, a rotatable transmission shaft located at the lower end of the intermittent gear, a transmission shaft gear arranged on the transmission shaft and cooperating with the intermittent gear, and a cam for driving the baffle to move up and down is also provided on the transmission shaft; wherein, the intermittent gear is rotatably arranged on the second mounting portion through a rotating shaft and is arranged vertically, and the tooth distribution ranges on all intermittent gears are different, so that after starting the drive motor, only one intermittent gear is meshed with the corresponding transmission shaft gear at the same time, that is, only one baffle can be lowered at the same time, thereby realizing that the same drive motor controls the lifting and lowering of baffles on different transmission assemblies; the starting angles of the teeth of adjacent intermittent gears differ by a fixed angle, for example: 30°. According to control requirements, technical personnel in this field can choose an appropriate angle.

[0030] The sprocket is sleeved and fixed on the rotating shaft and moves synchronously with the rotating shaft; the two ends of the transmission shaft are rotatably connected to the first mounting part and the second mounting part respectively, so that the rotating shaft can rotate; the transmission shaft gear is fixed on the rotating shaft and periodically meshes with the intermittent gear; the cam is fixed to the end of the transmission shaft, and when the baffle is in the raised state, its outer contour contacts the bottom of the baffle.

[0031] There are several chains, and a chain is set between adjacent transmission components. The transmission components on both sides are provided with a sprocket. Two sprockets are sleeved on the rotating shaft of the transmission component located between the two. The sprocket is used to connect the two ends of the chain. The chain between adjacent transmission components is connected to the two ends of the chain through the sprocket on the transmission component.

[0032] Sliding rails are provided on opposing sides of the first and second mounting portions. The baffle is slidably connected to the two sliding rails on either side. For example, the baffle is slidably embedded within the two sliding rails on either side. During the raising and lowering process, the baffle moves along the two sliding rails. Considering the components below the baffle, notches are provided on either side of the baffle to ensure normal lifting and lowering of the baffle. These notches provide space for these components, ensuring normal lifting and lowering of the baffle. In a further preferred embodiment, a roller is provided at the lower end of the baffle, located between the two notches, for engaging with a cam. The roller is rotatable relative to the baffle.

[0033] 4. Drive motor There is a single drive motor, fixed to the left end of the inclined support plate. The chain at the far left end works in conjunction with it. A sprocket is mounted on the drive motor's output shaft. The chain is an endless chain. The sprocket on the drive motor's output shaft meshes with the left end of the endless chain (the driving end of the endless chain). The drive motor transmits power to the chain through tooth meshing. If the motor speed is too high, an acceleration and reduction gear can be used to adjust the torque and speed to prevent chain overload or slippage. The right end of the endless chain is the driven end and can be connected using an idler pulley or roller (not shown). The idler pulley or roller is mounted on the right end of the inclined support plate to support the chain's rotation and maintain chain tension. In a further preferred embodiment, a tensioner can be provided to ensure tight engagement between the chain and sprocket to prevent tooth skipping or chain derailment.

[0034] When the drive motor starts, the chain drives the sprockets to rotate synchronously. The staggered tooth design of the intermittent gear and the transmission shaft gear ensures that only one intermittent gear is engaged with the corresponding transmission shaft gear at the same time, thereby driving the corresponding transmission shaft to rotate, and the corresponding cam drives the corresponding baffle to rise and fall.

[0035] When removing the rightmost tire, the drive motor activates according to the programmed program, and the chain drives each transmission component in sequence. When the intermittent gear on a certain baffle meshes with the transmission shaft gear, the cam rotates to its lowest point, causing the baffle to descend into the through-hole, and the tire in the corresponding position slides out along the inclined surface to the right exit.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
