Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dish racks, and in particular to a dish rack and a semi-automatic machine for assembling the dish rack. Background Art

[0002] Existing dish racks usually use multiple dividers to form a stacking space on a supporting structure for separating and positioning dishes and other tableware. The spacing between the dividers is adjusted according to the different sizes of the dishes.

[0003] During the dish rack production process, dividers are typically manually pushed into the support structure one by one, allowing them to slide together. However, since the support structure is typically constructed with long rods, manual pushing of the dividers is inefficient.

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application discloses a dish rack.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, a bowl-threading rack includes a support rod 6, a limiting rack 8 and a bowl piece 7, wherein there are two support rods 6 distributed horizontally and oppositely, and two limiting racks 8 distributed longitudinally and oppositely. One limiting rack 8 is fixed to the input end of the support rod 6, and the other is fixed to the output end of the support rod 6. The bottom ends of the bowl piece 7 are respectively slidably connected with the inner sides of the two support rods 6. The number of bowl pieces 7 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. In this application, multiple bowl pieces 7 are evenly arranged, and the bowl pieces 7 are arranged parallel to the limiting rack 8, which can provide support conditions for bowls, plates or basins. The limiting rack 8 is used to limit the maximum stroke of the bowl piece 7 to prevent the bowl piece 7 from falling out of the support rod 6.

[0036] Specifically, the bowl rack 7 includes a supporting portion 71, a connecting portion 72, a reinforcing portion 73, and a connecting portion 74. Taking dishes as an example, the top middle portion of the supporting portion 71 contains at least a space for placing the dish. The supporting portion 71 is U-shaped in shape, allowing users to adjust the opening size of the supporting portion 71 according to different dish sizes, making it easier to place the dish. The connecting portion 72 is fixed below the supporting portion 71 and has a rectangular structure that helps increase the height of the supporting portion 71. Both the reinforcing portion 73 and the connecting portion 74 are provided with two. The reinforcing portion 73 is a reinforcing rib, and the connecting portion 74 is a rectangular plate. The connecting portion 74 is vertically arranged at the end of the connecting portion 72 adjacent to it, ensuring that the connecting portion 74 and the connecting portion 72 are perpendicular to each other and are symmetrically distributed along the centerline of the supporting portion 71. The reinforcing portion 73 is arranged between the connecting portion 74 and the connecting portion 72, and the reinforcing portion 73 can further enhance the structural strength of the bowl rack.

[0037] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs 741 are added to the top and bottom ends of the connecting portion 74 in the same manner. Taking the structure of the top end of the connecting portion 74 as an example, reinforcing ribs 741 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the connecting portion 74. The extension direction of the reinforcing ribs 741 is consistent with the extension direction of the length of the connecting portion 74. The two reinforcing ribs 741 are arranged at the same height, so that the top end of the connecting portion 74 presents a cross-shaped structure. In this application, the connecting portion 74 and the corresponding support rod 6 are slidably connected to achieve the assembly of the bowl 7 and the support rod 6. At this time, the gravity of the dish placed on the bowl 7 can act on the two support rods 6. By providing the reinforcement portion 73, the strength of the inflection point of the connection of the bowl 7 can be enhanced, stress concentration can be avoided, and the ability of the structure to resist bending deformation can be improved. By providing the reinforcing ribs 741, the mass and rigidity of the connecting portion 74 can be increased, and part of the load can be shared by the thin-walled connecting portion 74, thereby more evenly distributing the load on the bowl 7 to the support rod 6, thereby achieving the effect of improving the load resistance and facilitating the placement stability of the dish.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The support rod 6 includes a hollow frame 62 and a semi-enclosed connecting frame 61. In order to make the support rod 6 lighter, the semi-enclosed connecting frame 61 shares a side with the hollow frame 62. The opening of the semi-enclosed connecting frame 61 faces the connecting portion 74 of the bowl piece 7. The semi-enclosed connecting frame 61 includes an upper top piece 611 and a lower top piece 612 with the same structure. The upper top piece 611 and the lower top piece 612 are both L-shaped. The upper top piece 611 and the lower top piece 612 are distributed opposite each other, and an accommodating cavity is reserved between the two, so that the bottom surface of the connecting portion 74 is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the accommodating cavity, the top surface of the connecting portion 74 is in contact with the inner top surface of the accommodating cavity or there is a slight gap, and the side surface of the reinforcing rib 741 is in contact with the corresponding side surface of the accommodating cavity or there is a slight gap, to ensure that the connecting portion 74 of the bowl piece 7 can slide in the accommodating cavity.

[0039] The hollow frame 62 has a light weight while ensuring the necessary strength to bear the load of the bowl slice 7, which not only reduces costs but also facilitates transportation and use. A mounting portion 63 is provided on the top of the hollow frame 62, and the mounting portion 63 and the hollow frame 62 can be fixedly or movably connected. First, when the mounting portion 63 is fixedly connected to the hollow frame 62, the mounting portion 63 and the hollow frame 62 are integrally formed, so that the structure has a higher pressure resistance; second, when the mounting portion 63 is movably connected to the hollow frame 62, the mounting portion 63 is plugged into the hollow frame 62. At this time, in order to adapt the connecting portion 74 of the bowl slice 7 with a flexible space, the upper top piece 611 of the semi-enclosed connecting frame 61 is fixed to the outside of the mounting portion 63. When the mounting portion 63 is disassembled, it will be disassembled together with the upper top piece 611, so that the structure has better disassembly flexibility.

[0040] In this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a buffer strip 64 made of elastic material is provided on the mounting portion 63, specifically, the mounting portion 63 includes a semi-enclosed arc-shaped slide rail 631, the semi-enclosed arc-shaped slide rail 631 includes an arc-shaped abutment plate 6311 and a limiting rib 6312 provided on both sides of the arc-shaped abutment plate 6311, the two limiting ribs 6312 are both moved toward the long center line of the arc-shaped abutment plate 6311, but a gap is required between the two. Correspondingly, the buffer strip 64 includes a first The sliding part 641, the second sliding part 642 and the transmission part 643, the second sliding part 642 is connected between the first sliding part 641 and the transmission part 643, the first sliding part 641 and the second sliding part 642 form a T-shaped structure, so that the first sliding part 641 slides with the arc-shaped abutment plate 6311, and the two limiting retaining edges 6312 slide with the opposite side walls of the second sliding part 642 respectively, and the bottom surface of the transmission part 643 is pressed against the upper top plate 611.

[0041] This arrangement allows the first sliding portion 641 to be assembled with the arcuate abutment plate 6311, and the second sliding portion 642 to be assembled with the limiting rib 6312, ensuring the flexible disassembly function of the buffer strip 64 while maximizing the stability of the connection between the two. During the assembly of the bowl piece 7 to the support rod 6, when adjusting the distance between the bowl piece 7, the bowl piece 7 slides along the lower top piece 612 of the support rod 6. Due to friction or other obstacles, the bowl piece 7 will experience a certain amount of fluctuation during the sliding process. The upper top piece 611 is vibrated by this fluctuation, and this vibration is transmitted to the transmission portion 643 of the buffer strip 64, which can absorb the impact energy and sound wave energy. The mounting portion 63 and the hollow frame 62 are in a fixed connection mode, which is different from the movably connected mode. The former is limited by the position of the mounting portion 63. Although the shock-resistant effect of the buffer strip 64 is relatively weak, the upper top plate 611 at this time is a thin-walled structure, and the buffer strip 64 can still be used for sound absorption and shock reduction; as for the latter, under the action of the buffer strip 64, the position difference of the up and down jumping of the bowl piece 7 can be compensated, especially when the bowl rack adjusts the spacing between the bowl pieces 7 after carrying the dishes, the buffer strip 64 provides good shock absorption and noise reduction, so that the dishes can be placed stably and the risk of dish breakage is reduced.

[0042] Furthermore, a limiting member 65 is provided in the lower top plate 612. The limiting member 65 includes a limiting ball and a connecting spring. Specifically, a storage groove is provided on the inner top surface of the lower top plate 612. One end of the connecting spring is connected to the inner top surface of the storage groove, and the other end is fixed to the limiting ball. When there is no pressure, the limiting ball at least partially protrudes from the inner top surface of the lower top plate 612. In the present application, the number of limiting members 65 depends on the situation. The limiting members 65 are arranged at intervals with the bowl plate 7, allowing the user to forcefully slide the bowl plate 7 to the desired position and then gently lock it instead of fixedly limiting it. The limiting members 65 are used to limit the position of two adjacent bowl plates 7, ensuring that the bowl plates 7 maintain an appropriate distance between them, preventing adjacent bowl plates 7 from stacking, and avoiding collisions between dishes.

[0043] In order to realize the assembly of the support rod 6 and the limiting frame 8, refer to Figure 1 Taking the limiting frame 8 provided at the output end of the support rod 6 as an example, the limiting frame 8 has two assembly slots on the side close to the support rod 6. The ends of the two support rods 6 are respectively adapted to be plugged into the corresponding assembly slots. After the two limiting frames 8, the two support rods 6 and the plurality of bowl pieces 7 are assembled, the bowl threading rack is obtained.

[0044] The traditional bowl rack includes an integrated sliding rod and a support piece slidably connected to the sliding rod, which can easily cause the tableware to shake or even break during adjustment. Compared with the prior art, the bowl rack of the present application has a modular component design. When adjusting the bowl piece 7, the upper top piece 611 transmits kinetic energy. By providing an elastic buffer strip 64 on the mounting portion 63 of the support rod 6, it can actively absorb the tiny vibrations and impact energy generated by friction when the bowl piece 7 slides, forming an integrated mechanism of sliding and shock absorption. While absorbing energy, it effectively reduces the collision of metal parts during sliding and adjustment, such as the noise generated by the vibration and impact of the upper top piece 611, thereby improving the user experience; especially when the mounting portion 63 is movably connected to the hollow frame 62, the buffer strip 64 can effectively compensate for the position error and gap caused by the disassembly of the mounting portion 63 or the micro-movement of the movable connection, ensuring smoother sliding, reducing the risk of dishes breaking due to tiny bumps, and improving the stability of dish placement.

[0045] On the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application discloses a semi-automatic machine for assembling a bowl rack, which is used to push the bowl pieces 7 one by one to the support rod 6.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A semi-automatic machine for assembling a bowl rack includes a base 1, a workbench 2, a positioning mechanism 3, a pushing mechanism 4 and a control system 5, wherein the workbench 2 is fixed on the top of the base 1; the positioning mechanism 3 is movably arranged on the top surface of the workbench 2, for providing support and limiting for the bowl rack; the pushing mechanism 4 is arranged between the workbench 2 and the base 1, for assisting in assembling the bowl rack; the control system 5 is electrically connected to the pushing mechanism 4, and can provide a power source for the pushing mechanism 4, so that the pushing mechanism 4 has active energy to assist in assembling the bowl rack, which helps to improve the production efficiency of the bowl rack and ensure the molding quality of the bowl rack.

[0047] Specifically, the workbench 2 includes a work panel and support legs, which are connected between the work panel and the base 1. The number of support legs is not specifically required in this application, but it is required to provide sufficient support force for the subsequent assembly process of the dish rack. The work panel and the base 1 are kept in a balanced state, and there is space between the two for the installation and movement of the pushing mechanism 4.

[0048] Further, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a limit top plate 31, a first slide rail 32, a moving slide block 33, a stop slide block 34 and a stop member 35. Among them, taking the wide side direction of the workbench 2 as the longitudinal direction and the long side direction as the transverse direction, taking the end of the workbench 2 close to the limit top plate 31 as the output end and the end far from the limit top plate 31 as the input end. Specifically, the limit top plate 31 is longitudinally fixed at the output end of the work panel. The work panel includes a push groove penetrating through the middle thereof. There are two first slide rails 32 symmetrically distributed along the long center line of the work panel. Stop members 35 are provided at both the input end and the output end of the first slide rail 32. There is at least one moving slide block 33 and one stop slide block 34 on each first slide rail 32. The moving slide block 33 and the stop slide block 34 are both slidably connected to the first slide rail 32, so that the moving slide block 33 is arranged on the side close to the limit top plate 31. The stop member 35 is used to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the moving slide block 33 and the stop slide block 34.

[0049] In this application, first, a limit frame 8 is assembled with two support rods 6, and then the assembled structure is installed on the semi-automatic machine. Specifically, the moving slide block 33 includes an upper limit block 331 and a lower sliding block 332. Among them, the upper limit block 331 at least includes a placement groove 333 for installing the support rod 6. The placement groove 333 runs through in the direction from the input end to the output end. The shape of the placement groove 333 is in the shape of "凵". When the support rod 6 is placed in the placement groove 333, it will not fall out of the groove. The user can adjust the position of the moving slide block 33 on the first slide rail 32 to adapt to support rods 6 of different lengths. Or, the number of moving slide blocks 33 on the first slide rail 32 can also be increased to provide a more uniform supporting force for the support rod 6. The bottom surface of the lower sliding block 332 is provided with a groove adapted to the first slide rail 32 to ensure that the lower sliding block 332 can move stably and smoothly along the first slide rail 32. The shape and structure of the stop slide block 34 are based on the moving slide block 33 with a limit stop block provided. The limit stop block is arranged at the input end, and a detachable screw structure is provided on the limit stop block, so as to flexibly limit the specific position of the stop slide block on the first slide rail 32. <…>

[0050] During specific installation, first, the two support rods 6 are assembled with the limit frame 8 provided at the output end. Then, the two support rods 6 are correspondingly placed in the placement grooves 333 of the moving slide block 33 and the placement grooves 333 of the stop slide block 34. Adjust the position of the stop slide block 34 until the side surface of the limit frame 8 abuts against the limit top plate 31, and the input end of the support rod 6 abuts against the corresponding limit stop block. Tighten the screw at the limit stop block, so as to fix the basic frame of the bowl-passing frame composed of the support rod 6 and the limit frame 8.

[0051] Refer to [[ID=!]] Figure 6 and Figure 7In the present application, the pushing mechanism 4 includes a rodless cylinder 43, a mobile base 44, a vertical sliding base 42 and a finger cylinder 41, wherein the extension direction of the rodless cylinder 43 is consistent with the extension direction of the first slide rail 32, the rodless cylinder 43 is set on the top surface of the base 1 and arranged in the pushing groove of the working panel, the mobile base 44 is assembled with the rodless cylinder 43, and the rodless cylinder 43 drives the mobile base 44 to move horizontally from the input end to the output end. The assembly principle of this part belongs to the existing technology and can be connected with reference to the existing technology. The vertical sliding seat 42 is installed on the top surface of the mobile base 44. The vertical sliding seat 42 specifically includes a seat body 421, a vertical sliding block 422 and a sliding cylinder 423. A second sliding rail 424 is provided in the vertical direction on one side of the seat body 421. The vertical sliding block 422 is slidably connected with the second sliding rail 424. The output end of the sliding cylinder 423 is assembled with the vertical sliding block 422 for adjusting the height of the vertical sliding block 422.

[0052] The finger cylinder 41 is installed on the top surface of the vertical sliding block 422. The finger cylinder 41 at least includes a cylinder body 411, a transmission mechanism and two finger claws 412, wherein the transmission mechanism is connected between the cylinder body 411 and the finger claws 412. The cylinder body 411 serves as a power source to drive the two finger claws 412 to open and close, that is, to adjust the distance between the two finger claws 412. Specifically, the cylinder body 411 includes a piston, a piston rod, an A port and a B port, wherein the piston is sealed in the cylinder barrel and is pushed to reciprocate by air pressure. The piston rod connects the piston and the transmission mechanism to transmit linear thrust, and the finger claws 412 are opened and closed by alternating air intake through the A port or the B port. The outward side of the finger claw 412 is flattened, and an elastic buffer pad is provided on this surface to provide a buffer for the subsequent pushing of the bowl piece 7.

[0053] When the bowl piece 7 is taken out of the working state, the bowl piece 7 is placed on the output end of the support rod 6, so that the connecting part 74 of the bowl piece 7 is slidably connected with the semi-enclosed connecting frame 61 of the support rod 6. The control system 5 triggers the rodless cylinder 43 to start, driving the mobile base 44 to come to the front of the input end of the support rod 6, and the sliding cylinder 423 adjusts the height of the vertical sliding block 422. The two claws 412 of the finger cylinder 41 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the bowl piece 7, that is, the two claws 412 are located at the two ends of the connecting part 72. After the claws 412 are aligned with the connecting part 72, the cylinder body 411 drives the two claws 412 to remain in this position. The control system 5 triggers the rodless cylinder 43 to start again, and the mobile base 44 moves horizontally from the input end to the output end, driving the claws 412 to push the bowl piece 7 to step into the specified stroke. The limiter 65 is used to limit the two adjacent bowl pieces 7 to ensure that the bowl pieces 7 maintain an appropriate distance between them, prevent adjacent bowl pieces 7 from stacking, and avoid collisions between plates.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present application pushes the bowl pieces 7 through a semi-automatic machine for assembling the bowl rack, which can reduce the degree of manual intervention, and the spacing adjustment of the bowl pieces 7 is automated. The pushing force of the bowl pieces 7 is more uniform, which improves production efficiency while reducing the risk of damage to parts and reducing product defective rates; the positioning mechanism 3 includes a movable slide 33 and a stop slide 34, and multi-specification clamping can adapt to support rods 6 of different lengths, which can be compatible with product iterations and improve production adaptability.

[0055] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application. These embodiments are only explanations of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application.
