Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a storage structure, in particular to a storage and discharge structure which is convenient for taking out. Background Art

[0002] When storing plate-shaped parts, several plate-shaped profiles are usually stacked on a pallet. However, the plate-shaped profiles that can be stacked directly on the pallet can only be wood and steel, which are easy to stack. It is not easy to stack plastic or plate-shaped profiles that have a certain hardness but are light in weight. Since the plastic plate-shaped profiles are light in weight and have a certain smoothness on the surface, the friction between two adjacent ones stacked together is small, so when stacked at a certain height, they will tilt and fall. Even if the operator is particularly careful to stack them to a certain height, when the pallet is transferred by a forklift, the , the plate-shaped profiles on the pallet will tilt and collapse, so when transporting such plate-shaped profiles, they can only be placed in a cart with guardrails on the edges for transportation. Although this method solves the above problems to a certain extent, when transporting to the unloading site, the operator will manually unload a certain amount or all of the plate-shaped materials according to actual needs, which requires continuous bending operation, increasing the labor intensity of the operator; especially when taking the plate-shaped materials at the bottom, more physical strength is consumed. After a long period of operation, the unloading efficiency will be affected as the physical strength decreases.

[0050] When the utility model is actually used, it also includes a foundation pit 21 opened on the ground, and the unloading unit 2 is arranged in the foundation pit 21;

[0051] A boss 60 is provided in the foundation pit 21, the power installation positioning box 33 is provided on the boss 60, and the lower ends of the support columns 18 are respectively disassembled and provided in the foundation pit 21 through the positioning blocks 22;

[0052] Several supporting members 70 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the foundation pit 21. The multiple supporting members 70 on the same side simultaneously support a top plate 71, and an opening 72 is formed between the two top plates 71. The two top plates 71 are used to shorten the width of the opening 72, further improving safety.

[0053] The optimal working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0054] A plurality of plastic sheet pieces 99 are placed in the storage unit 1, and four L-shaped columns 23 cooperate with each other to limit the plastic sheet pieces 99, and the storage unit 1 is pushed to the unloading area so that the push notch 6 and the push channel 8 in the storage unit 1 are located directly above the push plate 19, and the positioning is performed by the brake wheel, and the rotating seat 11 is driven by the driving motor to rotate. As the rotating seat 11 rotates, the rotating rod 12 is driven to rotate. As the rotating rod 12 rotates, the rotating rod 12 slides in the rotating seat 11, and when the rotating rod 12 drives the connecting piece 13 to move to the left side of the guide rod 17, the spring 16 is squeezed (such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the rotating rod 12 drives the connecting member 13 to move to the right side of the guide rod 17, the spring 16 rebounds. Since the two ends of the spring 16 are respectively connected to the rotating seat 11 and the connecting member 13, when the rotating rod 12 slides in the rotating seat 11, the distance between the rotating seat 11 and the connecting member 13 will be continuously changed, thereby causing the spring 16 to continuously rebound or be squeezed (when the distance between the rotating seat 11 and the connecting member 13 becomes smaller, the spring 16 will be squeezed, and when the distance between the rotating seat 11 and the connecting member 13 becomes larger, the spring will rebound and stretch); since the rotating rod 12 is connected to the connecting member 13, when the rotating rod 12 rotates, the connecting member 13 follows the movement, and when the connecting member 13 moves, the connecting member 13 itself rotates and drives the displacement seat 15 to reciprocate along the up and down directions of the guide column 78. At the same time, the displacement seat 15 reciprocates up and down When the swivel rod 12 is rotated, it will drive the left and right movement, thereby making the guide column 78 move left and right. Due to the left and right movement of the guide column 78, the sliding sleeve 50 arranged at the upper end of the guide column 78 is driven to move back and forth along the guide rod 17. The movement of the guide column 78 drives the displacement seat 15 to move left and right while moving up and down. The movement of the displacement seat 15 drives the push plate 19 to move. When the push plate 19 moves to the pushing notch 6, the push rod 20 on the push plate 19 facilitates the rear end contact of the plastic sheet member 99 located at the lower end, and the push plate 19 continues to move, thereby pushing the plastic sheet member 99 forward through the push rod 20. The push plate 19 continues to move forward until the plastic sheet member 99 is discharged through the discharge port 10 to complete a discharging action. Then the push plate 19 moves downward and backward to prepare for the second pushing action. After the unloading is completed, the operator loads the material.

[0055] When the utility model is in use, the unloading unit 2 is arranged in the foundation pit 21, and the foundation pit 21 can be dug in the unloading area. The length of the push plate 19 can be replaced according to actual needs. In specific use, in order to reduce friction, the stacking height is not easy to be too high, so as to avoid the plastic sheet member 99 located above from causing excessive pressure on the lowest plastic sheet member 99, thereby affecting the smoothness of discharging (the specific stacking height is determined according to the actual weight of a single plastic sheet member 99, so as not to affect the smoothness of discharging). In addition, the utility model is not suitable for profiles that are heavy or have high friction, such as iron plates and wooden boards. The above profiles will increase the difficulty of discharging and reduce the efficiency of discharging.

[0056] The preferred specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above. It should be understood that ordinary technicians in this field can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the utility model without creative work. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by technicians in this technical field based on the concept of the utility model through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the existing technology should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
