Adjustable bracket for placing joint

Abstract

The invention discloses an adjustable bracket for placing joints. The adjustable bracket is provided with a base, two parallel T-shaped grooved rails, two T-shaped sliding blocks and two V-shaped brackets which are sequentially connected from bottom to top, wherein the two T-shaped sliding blocks are respectively bridged on the two T-shaped grooved rails; a V-shaped bracket is arranged above each T-shaped sliding block, and a connector is placed on the two V-shaped brackets. The two T-shaped sliding blocks respectively drive the two V-shaped brackets to move back and forth on the two T-shaped grooved rails, so that the distance between the two V-shaped brackets is variable to adapt to placement of joints with different lengths. The lower ends of the two inclined supports of each V-shaped bracket are rotationally connected, the lower portion of the upper end of each inclined support is connected with a vertical spring, and when the weight of the connector is large, the compression amount of the springs is large, and the gravity center of the connector is lowered. The device can be used for placing joints with different lengths and correspondingly changed weights.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bracket for placing cylindrical or frustum-shaped materials such as graphite connectors. Background Technology

[0002] Material sorting racks are storage equipment used in workshops and warehouses to store materials and various tools. They can save a lot of time in retrieving materials and improve work efficiency.

[0003] Or, when weighing materials or measuring their geometric dimensions, it is necessary to place or support them.

[0004] Application No. 201610801340.3 discloses a detachable connector configured to attach a bracket to the underside of a vehicle subjected to external forces, comprising a fastener, an attachment portion of the bracket, and a partial sleeve. The fastener attaches the bracket to the underside. The attachment portion of the bracket surrounds the fastener and includes a separation portion that breaks when the external force exceeds a threshold force. The partial sleeve is attached to the attachment portion of the bracket and disposed within the attachment portion of the bracket, partially surrounding the fastener to form an opening that provides a horizontal channel for the fastener to move away from the bracket when the separation portion breaks. This invention relates to a vehicle bracket that is not size-adjustable and unsuitable for supporting graphite electrodes or connectors of different sizes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: An adjustable bracket for placing a connector is provided, in which the length and height can be adjusted and adjusted synchronously.

[0006] Technical solution: The adjustable bracket for placing the connector of the present invention has a base, two parallel T-shaped rails, two T-shaped sliders (one of which can move along the two rails) connected sequentially from bottom to top, and two V-shaped brackets.

[0007] The connector is a graphite connector, a graphite electrode, or other cylindrical or conical object.

[0008] Each T-shaped slider (with a horizontal support and mutually perpendicular vertical supports) has a V-shaped bracket on top. The two V-shaped brackets are for supporting the connector, and one V-shaped bracket supports one end of the connector.

[0009] Two T-shaped sliders can drive two V-shaped brackets to move back and forth on two T-shaped rails, so that the distance between the two V-shaped brackets can be increased or decreased to accommodate joints of different lengths for stable placement (the distance is large when the joint length is large and small when the joint length is small).

[0010] Preferably, the lower ends of the two inclined supports of each V-shaped bracket are rotatably connected, allowing for adjustment of the included angle.

[0011] Each inclined support has a vertical spring (with the central axis vertical or slightly inclined) connected to its upper end below the upper end, and the lower end of each vertical spring is connected to the upper part of the vertical support.

[0012] When the weight of the connector varies, the included angle changes accordingly, resulting in different centers of gravity (the center of gravity decreases when the weight is greater). When the connector is heavy, the spring compression is greater, the angle of the V-shaped bracket increases, the center of gravity of the connector decreases, and the connector is placed more stably and securely.

[0013] In this invention, a further preferred embodiment involves a horizontal spring connecting the horizontal support of the movable T-shaped slider to the T-shaped rail (or the center of two T-shaped rails). The rear end of the horizontal spring is fixed to the joint where the two T-shaped rails approach each other, and the front end of the horizontal spring is connected to the horizontal support. This ensures that the movement of the T-shaped slider is constrained by the spring's elongation, preventing the distance between the two T-shaped sliders from becoming uncontrollable and preventing the wall joint from falling off.

[0014] A cable is connected between the rear end of the horizontal spring and the upper end of the vertical spring (it can have a certain degree of elasticity to facilitate the vertical compression displacement of the vertical spring. When the displacement of the vertical spring is inconsistent with that of the horizontal stretching displacement of the horizontal spring, the total length of the cable will change, which can be adjusted to adapt to the different expansion and contraction of the two springs). The cable passes through the vertical support (with a hole for the cable to pass through) at the lower end (moving end) of the vertical spring, and the cable also passes through the horizontal support at the front end (moving end) of the horizontal spring.

[0015] A fixed pulley is located at the junction between the horizontal and vertical supports of the T-shaped slider, which allows the cable to change direction or be guided.

[0016] When a long and heavy connector is placed on a V-shaped bracket, the inclined bracket compresses the vertical spring below, the upper end of the cable moves down, the lower section of the cable relaxes, the horizontal spring stretches, and the distance between the movable T-shaped slider and the other T-shaped slider increases. At this time, the distance between the two V-shaped brackets also increases, which is suitable for placing long connectors.

[0017] Or, it has the opposite process: When a longer, heavier joint is placed on the V-bracket, the distance between the two T-slides and the V-bracket increases, making it easier to support the longer joint. The horizontal spring tension causes the cable to elongate horizontally and shorten vertically, resulting in compression of the vertical spring. This increases the angle between the two oblique sections of the V-bracket, lowering the joint's center of gravity and providing better safety and stability for heavier joints.

[0018] The combination of these two types of springs allows the spacing between the T-slider and the lifting of the V-bracket to be linked, and the length and weight of the joint to change proportionally, resulting in a certain degree of automatic adjustment and reducing manual intervention.

[0019] Beneficial effects: This invention can accommodate joints of different lengths, especially joints of different lengths and corresponding weights.

[0020] The slide rail moves without vibration, requires no power drive, and the joint is placed safely and stably without consuming any power energy.

[0021] The device has the ability to self-adjust the spacing of the V-shaped brackets according to the size and weight of the connectors. One type of bracket can hold connectors of different specifications, making it highly versatile. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example 1: like Figure 1 The adjustable bracket for placing the connector shown has a base 1, two parallel T-shaped rails 2, two T-shaped sliders 3 that are respectively connected across the two T-shaped rails 2, and two V-shaped brackets connected from bottom to top. Each T-shaped slider 3 has a V-shaped bracket above it. The two V-shaped brackets are for placing the connector, and one end of the connector is placed on one V-shaped bracket.

[0025] One of the T-shaped sliders 3 can move along the two groove rails 2. The lower ends of the two inclined supports of each V-shaped bracket are rotatably connected, and the upper end of each inclined support is connected to the upper end of a vertical spring 8. The lower end of each vertical spring 8 is connected to the upper part of the vertical support 6. This allows the two V-shaped brackets to support joints of different lengths, weights, and centers of gravity.

[0026] Example 2: like Figure 3 The adjustable bracket for placing the connector shown has a base 1, two parallel T-shaped rails 2, two T-shaped sliders 3 that are respectively connected across the two T-shaped rails 2, and two V-shaped brackets connected from bottom to top. Each T-shaped slider 3 has a V-shaped bracket above it. The two V-shaped brackets are for placing the connector, and one end of the connector is placed on one V-shaped bracket.

[0027] One of the T-shaped sliders 3 can move along the two groove rails 2, and the lower ends of the two inclined supports of each V-shaped bracket are rotatably connected. The upper end of each inclined support is connected to the upper end of a vertical spring 8, and the lower end of each vertical spring 8 is connected to the upper part of the vertical support 6.

[0028] A horizontal spring 10 is connected between the horizontal support of the movable T-shaped slider 3 and the T-shaped rail 2. The rear end of the horizontal spring 10 is fixed at the joint when the two T-shaped rails 2 are close together, and the front end of the horizontal spring 10 is connected to the horizontal support.

[0029] The vertical spring 8 and the horizontal spring 10 have the following characteristics: Figure 2 The connection structure is shown. A cable 13 is connected between the rear end of the horizontal spring 10 and the upper end of the vertical spring 8. The cable 13 passes through the vertical support 6 at the lower end of the vertical spring 8 and also passes through the horizontal support at the front end of the horizontal spring 10. A fixed pulley 11 is provided at the joint between the horizontal support and the vertical support of the T-shaped slider 3, so that the cable 13 can change direction through the fixed pulley 11.

[0030] Two V-shaped brackets can support various connectors of different lengths, weights, and centers of gravity. Moreover, when the connector is longer, the center of gravity of the connector will drop, making the placement of the connector more stable and safe.
