[0046] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a core storage rack, including a rack body 2. The bottom of the rack body 2 is provided with a detachable bottom plate 3. The upper middle part of the rack body 2 is provided with multiple layers of horizontally placed core perforated plates 4. The core perforated plates 4 are provided with placement slots 4-1 for placing cores 1. The placement slots 4-1 of the upper and lower layers are vertically aligned with each other.

[0048] The core plate 4 is provided with a limiting component 5, which includes a reset plate 5-1. The reset plate 5-1 is rotatably disposed on both sides of the insertion groove 4-1. One end of the reset plate 5-1 is provided with a limiting end 5-2, which is limited and engaged with the two sides of the opening of the insertion groove 4-1. The core plate 4 is also provided with a positioning rod 5-4, which is limited and engaged with the limiting end 5-2.

[0049] In use, open the positioning rod 5-4 to keep the rock core 1 upright and place it horizontally into the insertion slot 4-1. The limiting end 5-2 will be squeezed by the rock core 1 and rotate to both sides. After the rock core 1 is placed inside the insertion slot 4-1, rotate the reset plate 5-1 to move the limiting end 5-2 to the opening position of the insertion slot 4-1 so that it limits the rock core 1. Then, use the positioning rod 5-4 to insert the limiting end 5-2 to fix the position of the limiting end 5-2, thereby ensuring that the rock core 1 will not accidentally tip over.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the frame 2 includes vertically arranged columns 2-1 and multiple horizontally arranged connecting crossbeams 2-2. The columns 2-1 are provided with mounting holes 2-3, and the two ends of the connecting crossbeams 2-2 are provided with locking mechanisms 2-4, which are detachably locked into the mounting holes 2-3.

[0051] In this embodiment, four columns 2-1 are provided, and the connecting crossbeams 2-2 of each layer connect the columns 2-1 to form a complete frame 2. The base plate 3 and the core plate 4 are placed on the connecting crossbeams 2-2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the column 2-1 is an angle steel structure, and vertically arranged mounting holes 2-3 are provided on both right-angled sides of the column 2-1.

[0053] The mounting hole 2-3 is gourd-shaped. Specifically, the mounting hole 2-3 includes a large hole 2-3-1, and a small hole 2-3-2 is provided below the large hole 2-3-1. The locking mechanism 2-4 includes a fixing post 2-4-1, one end of which is fixedly connected to the connecting crossbeam 2-2, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a limiting end 2-4-2. The diameter of the limiting end 2-4-2 is larger than the diameter of the fixing post 2-4-1; the diameter of the large hole 2-3-1 is larger than the diameter of the limiting end 2-4-2; the minimum diameter of the transition area between the large hole 2-3-1 and the small hole 2-3-2, and the diameter of the small hole 2-3-2, both match the diameter of the fixing post 2-4-1 and are smaller than the diameter of the limiting end 2-4-2. In use, first insert the limiting end 2-4-2 into the large hole 2-3-1, and then slide it down to embed the fixing post 2-4-1 into the small hole 2-3-2. In this way, the four upright posts 2-1 can be assembled together by using the connecting crossbar 2-2, and the entire storage rack can be installed.

[0054] In this embodiment, a slot 2-2-1 is provided at the upper end of the connecting crossbeam 2-2, and the bottom plate 3 and the core plate 4 are placed on the slot 2-2-1.

[0055] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the core plate 4 has reset plate connecting holes 4-2 and internal grooves 4-3 on both sides of the insertion groove 4-1. The reset plate 5-1 is arranged inside the internal groove 4-3, and there is enough space in the internal groove 4-3 to accommodate the reset plate 5-1. The reset plate 5-1 is provided with a reset plate connecting rod 5-1-1, which is rotatably connected to the reset plate connecting hole 4-2, so that the reset plate 5-1 can rotate freely.

[0056] The portion of the insertion slot 4-1 located inside the core plate 4 is arc-shaped. The reset plate 5-1 has a trigger end 5-3 at the end opposite to the limiting end 5-2. The trigger end 5-3 is located inside the insertion slot 4-1, and one edge of the trigger end 5-3 forms an arc shape with one edge of the limiting end 5-2, with the arc edge of the trigger end 5-3 matching the arc curvature of the insertion slot 4-1. The opposite sides of the two limiting ends 5-2 are set as convex arc-shaped edges.

[0057] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in the initial state, the limiting ends 5-2 on both sides are located in the built-in groove 4-3. At this time, the two trigger ends 5-3 will be exposed in the insertion groove 4-1. When the rock core 1 is inserted into the opening of the insertion groove 4-1, the rock core 1 will push the trigger ends 5-3 and squeeze the two trigger ends 5-3 into the built-in groove 4-3. At the same time, the reset plate 5-1 rotates, and the limiting ends 5-2 rotate to the opening position of the insertion groove 4-1. Finally, the trigger ends 5-3 are completely inserted into the built-in groove 4-3. The limiting ends 5-2 limit the rock core 1 at the opening position of the insertion groove 4-1. Then, the position of the limiting ends 5-2 can be fixed by the positioning rod 5-4.

[0058] In this embodiment, the positioning rod 5-4 is rotatably connected to one side of the opening position of the insertion slot 4-1, and the other side of the opening position of the insertion slot 4-1 is provided with a first positioning hole 4-4.

[0059] The limiting end 5-2 is provided with a second positioning hole 5-2-1, and the positioning rod 5-4 is provided with a first positioning post 5-4-1 and a second positioning post 5-4-2. The first positioning post 5-4-1 is inserted into the first positioning hole 4-4, and the second positioning post 5-4-2 is inserted into the second positioning hole 5-2-1.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first positioning post 5-4-1 and the second positioning post 5-4-2 are both made of rubber, and the ends of the first positioning post 5-4-1 and the second positioning post 5-4-2 are provided with rubber clips 5-4-3.

[0061] In one embodiment where the positioning rod 5-4 is rotatably connected to the opening of the insertion slot 4-1, a rotatable connection hole 5-4-4 is provided at one end of the positioning rod 5-4. A rotatable connection post 5-4-5 is fixedly provided on the core plate 4, and the rotatable connection hole 5-4-4 is rotatably connected to the rotatable connection post 5-4-5. Rotating the positioning rod 5-4 allows the first positioning post 5-4-1 and the second positioning post 5-4-2 to be inserted into the first positioning hole 4-4 and the second positioning hole 5-2-1, respectively, thereby fixing the position of the limiting end 5-2 to limit the core 1. At the same time, the positioning rod 5-4 blocks the opening of the insertion slot 4-1. When it is necessary to remove the core 1, the positioning rod 5-4 is rotated again to pull out the first positioning post 5-4-1 and the second positioning post 5-4-2. The reset plate 5-1 is in a freely rotatable state, at which point the core 1 can be removed horizontally.

[0062] like Figure 11 As shown, a support groove 3-1 is provided on the base plate 3. The support groove 3-1 and the placement groove 4-1 are also vertically aligned with each other. When the rock core 1 is placed, its bottom will be located in the support groove 3-1. The support groove 3-1 can restrict the bottom of the rock core 1 from moving easily.

[0063] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figures 11 to 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting crossbeam 2-2 is an I-shaped structure. A locking strip 2-2-2 is provided on the connecting rod in the middle of the connecting crossbeam 2-2. The bottom surface of the bottom plate 3 and the core plate 4 is provided with a U-shaped groove plate 6. The U-shaped opening of the U-shaped groove plate 6 is arranged downward and locked on the locking strip 2-2-2, thereby ensuring that the bottom plate 3 and the core plate 4 will not slide relative to the connecting crossbeam 2-2.

[0064] The usage process of this invention is as follows:

[0065] First, as described above, connect the uprights 2-1 using the connecting crossbeam 2-2 to form a complete frame 2. Then, place the base plate 3 and the core plate 4 onto the connecting crossbeam 2-2. Initially, the positioning rod 5-4 is in the open state, meaning the insertion slot 4-1 is open. Align the bottom end of the core 1 with the supporting groove 3-1 and the top end of the core 1 with the opening of the insertion slot 4-1. Place the core 1 horizontally into the insertion slot 4-1. At this time, the core 1 will push against the trigger end 5-3. The two trigger ends 5-3 are then pushed into the built-in slot 4-3, while the reset plate 5-1 rotates. The limiting end 5-2 rotates to the opening position of the slot 4-1. After the rock core 1 is placed, the positioning rod 5-4 is rotated to insert the first positioning post 5-4-1 into the first positioning hole 4-4, and the second positioning post 5-4-2 into the second positioning hole 5-2-1. At this time, the position of the limiting end 5-2 is fixed, and the reset plate 5-1 cannot rotate, thus achieving the limiting effect of the limiting end 5-2 on the rock core 1. If it needs to be removed, the positioning rod 5-4 is rotated again to pull out the first positioning post 5-4-1 and the second positioning post 5-4-2. The reset plate 5-1 is then in a rotatable state, and the rock core 1 can be removed.

[0066] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
