Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette rack technology, specifically a three-dimensional rack for warehouse use. Background Technology

[0002] Shelves generally refer to racks used for storing goods; they are storage devices for packaged items. Display shelves refer to various display fixtures such as cabinets, shelves, counters, and boxes used in store sales areas to display and place goods for sale. Based on their purpose, they can be divided into supermarket shelves, warehouse shelves, and display shelves. Warehouse shelves are further classified into light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty shelves, among others.

[0003] In the tobacco industry's warehousing process, tobacco crates are specialized tools for holding raw tobacco packs, tobacco leaves, tobacco stems, and other materials. Their storage method directly affects the utilization rate of storage space, the quality of tobacco leaf storage, and the efficiency of warehousing operations. The traditional method of stacking on the ground has been the consistent practice in the tobacco industry for many years. The biggest problem with this method is that it occupies a large area and has extremely low space utilization. The gaps between tobacco crates stacked on the ground are very small, resulting in extremely poor ventilation and making the tobacco leaves prone to dampness and mold. Some companies use ordinary automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) to store tobacco crates, but ordinary AS / RS are not designed for the structural characteristics of tobacco crates and the needs of tobacco storage. The spacing between layers of ordinary AS / RS is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the tobacco crates, making it relatively cumbersome to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a three-dimensional storage rack, which solves the problems of traditional flat-floor stacking, which has extremely low space utilization, very small gaps between stacked tobacco frames, poor ventilation, and easy for tobacco leaves to become damp and moldy. While some use ordinary three-dimensional racks to store tobacco frames, these racks are not designed for the structural characteristics of tobacco frames and the needs of tobacco storage. The fixed spacing between layers of ordinary three-dimensional racks cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the tobacco frames, making them cumbersome to use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a three-dimensional storage rack, comprising two support frames, a positioning mechanism, a support mechanism, and a storage mechanism. The support mechanism is installed on the bottom surface of the two support frames, and the positioning mechanism is installed on the upper surface of the two support frames. Each of the two support frames has a first groove and a second groove on its side facing each other. Each first groove has equidistantly arranged positioning screw rings slidably connected inside it. Each set of second grooves has equidistantly arranged positioning screw cylinders slidably connected inside it. Each of the two support frames has equidistantly arranged positioning screw holes on its side facing away from each other. Each positioning screw ring has a positioning screw threadedly connected to its inner wall, and each positioning screw cylinder has a symmetrically arranged fixing screw threadedly connected to its inner wall. A fixing frame is installed on the side facing each set of positioning screw cylinders and the side facing each set of positioning screw rings. The storage mechanism is placed on the upper surface of the fixing frame. A controller is installed on the left side of one of the support frames.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a rotating block is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two sets of positioning screws that are far apart from each other and to one end of each set of fixing screws that are far apart from each other.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the storage mechanism includes a storage box, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected with symmetrical buckles, and the interior of which is provided with a sorting rack.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support mechanism includes two fixed plates, both of which are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of two support frames, and both of the bottom surfaces of the fixed plates are equipped with symmetrical brake casters.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both of the upper surfaces of the two fixing plates are provided with through holes, and both of the upper surfaces of the two fixing plates are equipped with cylinders.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the output ends of both cylinders are fixedly connected to support seats, and the bottom surfaces of both support seats are fixedly connected to symmetrical anti-slip seats.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning frame, the upper surface of which has a limit hole, and an electric push rod is mounted on the upper surface of the positioning frame.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to compression springs arranged at equal intervals, and the bottom end of each compression spring is fixedly connected to a positioning pressure plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, positioning frames are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the two support frames, and a fixing handle is fixedly connected inside each positioning frame.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surfaces of the two support frames are fixedly connected to a fixing cover, and a storage battery is installed inside the fixing cover.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a three-dimensional racking system for warehouses, which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This warehouse uses a three-dimensional racking system, which replaces traditional flat-floor stacking by adopting a three-dimensional layered storage structure. It makes full use of the storage space vertically, and the layer spacing can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate different specifications of tobacco frames. It solves the problems of large floor space and low space utilization of traditional stacking. The hollow design of the storage box, combined with the layer gaps, ensures sufficient ventilation space between the tobacco frames, effectively preventing tobacco leaves from getting damp, moldy, and deteriorating. It solves the problems of poor ventilation and low storage quality of traditional stacking.

[0017] 2. This automated storage and retrieval system utilizes a structure combining slides, positioning rings, and positioning screws to allow for rapid adjustment of each layer's height without tools. This solves the problems of fixed layer spacing and incompatibility with cigarette rack sizes found in ordinary automated storage and retrieval systems, making it more convenient to use. Bottom-mounted braked casters allow for free movement, while cylinder-driven support bases provide quick and easy fixation. It balances transfer flexibility with storage stability, adapting to the multi-area circulation needs of tobacco warehousing. Built-in classification racks within the storage boxes enable categorized storage of tobacco materials, and a flexible top positioning mechanism prevents tipping. Retrieving materials does not require moving the entire rack, improving warehousing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[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] Example

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6In this embodiment: a warehouse racking system includes two support frames 1, a positioning mechanism 2, a support mechanism 3, and a storage mechanism 5. The two support frames 1 are symmetrically arranged vertical main load-bearing structures. The support mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the two support frames 1 to achieve movement and stable support. The positioning mechanism 2 is installed at the top of the two support frames 1 to limit and fix the top and upper storage mechanism 5. The storage mechanism 5 is used to store tobacco-related materials and can be placed in layers on the fixed frame 14 inside the support frame 1. A controller 4 and a power supply component are set on the outside of the support frame 1 to realize centralized control and independent power supply of electrical components. The two support frames 1 have a first sliding groove 6 and a second sliding groove 7 on their opposite inner sides. The two sliding grooves are parallel to each other in the vertical direction to provide sliding guidance for the fixed frame 14. Multiple sets of equidistantly arranged positioning screw rings 8 are slidably connected in the first sliding groove 6. Multiple sets of equidistantly arranged positioning screw cylinders 13 are slidably connected in the groove 7. The positioning screw ring 8 and the positioning screw cylinder 13 can slide freely up and down along the groove to adjust the installation height of the fixing frame 14. Multiple sets of positioning screw holes 9 are opened on the outer side of the support frame 1. The positioning screw ring 8 is internally threaded to the positioning screw rod 10, and the positioning screw cylinder 13 is internally threaded to the fixing screw rod 12. Rotating blocks 11 are installed on the outer ends of the positioning screw rod 10 and the fixing screw rod 12 for easy manual tightening. Tightening the rotating block 11 can drive the positioning screw rod 10 and the fixing screw rod 12 to press against the positioning screw hole 9, locking the positioning screw ring 8 and the positioning screw cylinder 13 at the target height. Loosening it can release the lock and readjust the layer spacing. The positioning screw ring 8 and the positioning screw cylinder 13 are installed together on the inner side of the fixing frame 14. The fixing frame 14 is a horizontal bearing plate used to support the storage mechanism 5. After the layer spacing is adjusted, the fixing frame 14 remains horizontal and stable.

[0028] In this embodiment, the storage mechanism 5 is a tobacco-specific storage unit, including a storage box 501, a sorting rack 502, and a buckle plate 503. The storage box 501 adopts a hollow and ventilated box structure to improve internal air circulation and prevent tobacco from getting damp and moldy. The sorting rack 502 is set inside the storage box 501, which can separate and store materials such as tobacco leaves, tobacco stems, and tobacco flakes of different grades and batches, thereby improving the efficiency of sorting and management. The buckle plate 503 is symmetrically fixed on the outside of the storage box 501. The buckle plate 503 can be snapped onto the edge of the fixing rack 14 to prevent the storage box 501 from slipping and falling off, thereby improving the stability of placement.

[0029] In this embodiment, the support mechanism 3 is used to realize the flexible movement and positioning support of the shelf. It includes a fixed plate 301, a brake caster 306, a cylinder 303, a support base 304, and an anti-slip seat 305. The two fixed plates 301 are fixed to the bottom of the support frame 1 as the bottom bearing base. The brake caster 306 is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 301, which can push the shelf to move freely and brake and lock at any time. A through hole 302 is opened on the fixed plate 301. The cylinder 303 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixed plate 301. The output end of the cylinder 303 passes through the through hole 302 and connects to the support base 304. The anti-slip seat 305 is installed at the bottom of the support base 304. When the cylinder 303 extends, the support base 304 and the anti-slip seat 305 press down against the ground, lifting the entire shelf and causing the brake caster 306 to leave the ground, achieving stable static support. When the cylinder 303 retracts, the brake caster 306 lands and the movement function is restored.

[0030] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the support frame 1 to press and fix the upper storage mechanism 5 to prevent it from tipping over and shaking. It includes a positioning frame 201, an electric push rod 203, a connecting plate 204, a compression spring 205, and a positioning pressure plate 206. The positioning frame 201 is a top frame structure with a limiting hole 202 on its upper surface for threading cables or assisting in positioning. The electric push rod 203 is fixed on the positioning frame 201, and its output end is connected to the connecting plate 204. Multiple sets of compression springs 205 are evenly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 204. The bottom ends of the compression springs 205 are connected to the positioning pressure plate 206. The electric push rod 203 extends and drives the positioning pressure plate 206 to move downward. The compression springs 205 provide flexible pressing force to avoid rigid compression damage to the storage box 501, while firmly limiting the upper storage mechanism 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, positioning frames 17 are fixed on the left and right sides of the support frame 1, and fixing handles 18 are installed inside the positioning frames 17 to facilitate manual pushing of the shelf for movement or positioning. The bottom of the support frame 1 is fixed with a fixing cover 15, and a battery 16 is installed inside the fixing cover 15 to provide independent power to the controller 4, cylinder 303, and electric push rod 203, eliminating the limitation of external cables and improving the flexibility of movement and use. The controller 4 is installed on the outside of the support frame 1 and is electrically connected to the cylinder 303, electric push rod 203, and battery 16 respectively, realizing one-button control of support and positioning actions.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: In use, first loosen the rotating block 11 to allow the positioning screw 10 and fixing screw 12 to exit the positioning screw hole 9. Slide the positioning screw ring 8 and positioning screw cylinder 13 along the first sliding groove 6 and the second sliding groove 7. Adjust the distance between adjacent fixing frames 14 according to the height of the cigarette frame or storage box 501. After adjustment, tighten the rotating block 11 to complete the locking. Control the cylinder 303 to retract through the controller 4, and brake the universal wheel 306 to land. Hold the fixing handle 18 and push the shelf to the target storage position. Step on the brake universal wheel 306 to complete the initial locking.

[0033] The controller 4 starts the cylinder 303, and the support base 304 and the anti-slip base 305 press down against the ground to lift the shelf and achieve static fixation. The storage box 501 containing tobacco materials is placed on the fixed frame 14 and the buckle plate 503 is snapped in place. After multiple layers are placed, the electric push rod 203 is started, and the positioning pressure plate 206 flexibly presses the top storage box 501 to complete the overall positioning. The electric push rod 203 is controlled to retract and release the pressure, so the corresponding layer of storage box 501 can be directly pulled out to take out the tobacco materials inside.
