Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile fuel tanks, and more specifically, to a fuel tank placement rack. Background Art

[0002] In a car, the fuel tank is a very important part, which is used to store the fuel needed to start the car. The quality of the fuel tank directly affects the safety, energy consumption and many other performances of the car. Therefore, during the production and transportation of the fuel tank, it is necessary to avoid damage to the fuel tank as much as possible.

[0003] Automobile fuel tanks are usually large in size and weight, usually 1000*500*300mm in size, and usually weigh more than 15KG. If they are directly handled manually, the workload of the workers will increase. Since the fuel tanks are large in size and weight, and there is no special structure for taking the fuel tanks, it is difficult for workers to take the fuel tanks, so a special fuel tank rack is needed. The fuel tank is placed on the fuel tank rack, which is placed next to the worker's position. The worker moves the product to the corresponding tooling by manpower. The fuel tank rack is usually fixed, and rubber or iron materials are used inside to support the bottom of the product.

[0004] Due to the size and weight of the fuel tank, when workers are picking up the fuel tank, they must first drag it outwards instead of lifting it up directly. When dragging, the fuel tank and the supporting structure of the fuel tank rack come into contact and slide, which can easily cause external damage to the fuel tank. The existing fuel tank rack design uses a rubber-fixed rack inside, which cannot avoid the above problems. The rubber is prone to deformation, which increases the friction with the fuel tank, making it difficult to drag the fuel tank outwards, increasing the workload of workers and easily causing external damage to the fuel tank. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a fuel tank placement rack. A sliding structure is arranged on the placement unit, and the fuel tank is placed on the sliding structure. This reduces the friction between the fuel tank and the placement unit when taking the fuel tank, thereby avoiding damage to the fuel tank and making it easy for workers to drag the fuel tank out of the fuel tank placement rack, thereby improving the work efficiency of the workers and reducing their labor load.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a fuel tank placement rack, including a rack body, a layer frame and a storage unit, the rack body is a frame structure, the layer frame is installed in the frame structure of the rack body, the layer frame is horizontally arranged, the storage unit is installed on the layer frame, and the storage unit is provided with a sliding structure for placing the fuel tank.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a fuel tank rack includes a rack body 1, a layer frame 2 and a storage unit 3. The rack body 1 is a frame structure. The layer frame 2 is installed in the frame structure of the rack body 1. The layer frame 2 is arranged horizontally. The storage unit 3 is installed on the layer frame 2. The storage unit 3 is provided with a sliding structure 31 for placing the fuel tank. The rack body 1 is the main supporting structure. The layer frame 2 is installed on the rack body 1. The storage unit 3 is installed on the layer frame 2. A plurality of storage units 3 can be placed on a single layer frame 2, and one storage unit 3 can be placed on one fuel tank. Therefore, a single layer frame 2 can be placed on multiple fuel tanks, and a plurality of layer frames 2 can also be arranged on the rack body 1, thereby increasing the number of fuel tanks that can be placed on the fuel tank rack. The storage unit 1 is provided with a sliding structure 31, and the fuel tank is placed on the sliding structure 31. When a worker drags the fuel tank, the fuel tank can slide on the sliding structure 31 and be dragged out of the fuel tank placement rack, thereby reducing the friction force received by the fuel tank during the dragging process and avoiding quality damage to the surface of the fuel tank due to friction.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the sliding structure 31 is a sliding track, and a plurality of rollers 3 are arranged on the sliding track along the length direction of the sliding track. The sliding track is installed on the storage unit, and the roller 3 can be rotatably installed on the sliding track, and the upper part of the outer peripheral surface of the roller 3 is higher than the upper surface of the sliding track. When the fuel tank is placed on the storage unit 3, the bottom surface of the fuel tank contacts the outer peripheral surface of the roller 32. The roller 32 can only roll in the length direction of the sliding track, so that when the fuel tank is placed on the roller 32, when the fuel tank moves in the length direction of the sliding track 3, there is rolling friction between the fuel tank and the roller 32, and the friction force is small. When the fuel tank moves in other directions, there is sliding friction between the fuel tank and the roller 32, and the friction force is large. In this way, the fuel tank can be limited to move only in the length direction of the sliding track 31, preventing the fuel tank from sliding in other directions to cause position deviation or even fall off, causing safety risks.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, an upper cover 11 for closing the upper part of the rack body 1 is provided above the rack body 1, and the front side of the rack body 1 is an open structure. When workers take and place the fuel tank, the working position is in front of the fuel tank placement rack. The front side of the rack body 1 is set as an open structure, so that there is no other mechanism on the work line where workers take and place the fuel tank to block the movement of the fuel tank, which is convenient for workers to work. An upper cover 11 for closing the upper part of the rack body 1 is provided above the rack body 1. The function of the upper cover 11 is to close the space for placing the fuel tank to prevent the fuel tank from vibrating or even falling during transportation, causing damage to the fuel tank.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple layer frames 2, which are arranged up and down and installed in the frame structure of the rack body 1, and the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 are rotatably connected to the rack body 1 at the rear end. The fuel tank is placed on the placement unit 3, and multiple placement units can be set on a single layer frame 2. There are multiple layer frames 2, which are arranged up and down and installed on the rack body 1, so that the vertical space can be maximized, so that the fuel tank placement rack can prevent more fuel tanks and increase its storage capacity. When the worker takes the fuel tank, the fuel tank is first dragged outward and then lifted up. When the worker lifts the fuel tank upward, the upper cover 11 or the layer frame 2 located above will block the fuel tank moving upward. Therefore, the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 are rotatably connected to the rack body 1 at the rear end. When taking or placing the fuel tank, the upper upper cover 11 or the layer frame 2 is flipped up, so that there is no structural obstruction above the placement unit 3 for taking or placing the fuel tank, which is convenient for the worker to pick up or put down the fuel tank.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, support feet 21 are respectively provided below the front side of the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2. The support feet 21 are perpendicular to the layer frame 2, and the lower end of the support feet 21 abuts against the layer frame 2 below. The length of the support feet 21 is equal to the distance between the upper and lower layer frames 2. Since the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 are not completely fixed on the material rack body 1, but are rotatably connected to the material rack body 1, if there is no support structure, the gravity of the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 and the gravity of the fuel tank placed on the layer frame 2 will be borne by the hinged position of the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 and the material rack body 1, which may easily cause the hinged position of the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 and the material rack body 1 to break, posing a safety hazard and the risk of damage to the fuel tank. Therefore, support feet 21 are provided below the front side of the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2. The support feet 21 can share the force originally concentrated on the hinged position of the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 and the material rack body 1, avoiding the risk of the hinged position breaking due to excessive concentration of force. The lower end of the support foot 21 is in contact with the lower layer frame 2, and the length of the support foot 21 is equal to the distance between the upper and lower layer frames 2. Therefore, the support foot 21 and the rack body 1 jointly determine the distance between the upper and lower layer frames 2, forming a certain space for placing the fuel tank. The length of the support foot 21 is equal to the distance between the upper and lower layer frames 2, which ensures that the layer frame 2 is parallel to the ground, and prevents the fuel tank placed on the storage unit 3 from sliding on the sliding structure 31 under the action of its own gravity.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, telescopic rods 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2. One end of the telescopic rod 22 installed at both ends of the upper cover 11 is hinged to the upper cover 11, and the other end of the telescopic rod 22 is hinged to the material rack body 1; one end of the telescopic rod 22 installed on the layer frame 2 is hinged to the layer frame 2, and the other end of the telescopic rod 22 is hinged to the material rack body 1. The telescopic rod 22 is used to assist the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2 to flip upward, ensuring the stability of the flipping process. When the telescopic rod 22 is extended, the distance between the upper cover 11 or the layer frame 2 and the end connecting the telescopic rod 22 and the material rack body 1 becomes longer, and the upper cover 11 or the layer frame 2 flips up. When the telescopic rod 22 is retracted, the distance between the upper cover 11 or the layer frame 2 and the end connecting the telescopic rod 22 and the material rack body 1 becomes shorter, and the upper cover 11 or the layer frame 2 returns to the initial state.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] This embodiment is similar to the above-mentioned embodiment 1, except that: Figure 1As shown, a blocking structure 23 for blocking the fuel tank from sliding is provided below the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2. When transporting the fuel tank, the fuel tank placement box will inevitably vibrate. Because the fuel tank is placed on the sliding structure 31, the fuel tank is very likely to slide on the sliding structure 31 under the action of its own inertia after vibration, and even slide out of the open structure on the front side of the rack body 1. Therefore, a blocking structure 23 for blocking the fuel tank from sliding is provided below the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2. The blocking structure 23 limits the fuel tank within a certain space, so that it will not slide over a long distance on the sliding structure 31, and prevent it from sliding out of the open structure on the front side of the rack body 1. The blocking structure 23 is provided below the upper cover 11 and the layer frame 2, and it blocks the fuel tank placed on the lower layer frame 2. When taking or placing the fuel tank, when the upper cover 11 or the layer frame 2 is flipped up, the blocking structure 23 will also flip up, and will not block the movement of the fuel tank placed on the lower layer frame 2, which is convenient for workers to take or place.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the front of the upper cover 11 are provided with latches 12 that can be inserted into the rack body 1. After the fuel tank is placed, the upper cover 11 can be fixed in position by inserting the latches 12 into the rack body 1, so that it cannot be flipped up, ensuring that the upper cover 11 will not flip up automatically due to vibration during transportation, and at the same time, in cooperation with the support feet 21, the layer frame 2 below is pressed down, and the position of the layer frames 2 of each layer below can be fixed at the same time, ensuring that the fuel tank placement rack itself will not cause changes in its own structure due to vibration.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] This embodiment is similar to the above-mentioned embodiment 1, except that: Figure 1 As shown, casters 13 are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the rack body 1. The casters 13 make the fuel tank placement rack easy to move, and the fuel tank placement rack can be directly pushed or pulled to transport the fuel tank.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the left and right sides of the rack body 1 are provided with traction hooks 14. When a large number of fuel tanks need to be transported, the traction hooks 14 on the rack bodies 1 of different fuel tank racks only need to be connected end to end, and the fuel tank rack arranged at the front end can be pulled to move all the fuel tank racks connected by the traction hooks 14, so as to realize the simultaneous transportation of a large number of fuel tanks.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly explaining the utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
