[0038] See also Figure 1-4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, an engine valve tappet storage rack is provided, comprising:

[0039] Top plate 1;

[0040] Bracket assemblies 2, the bracket assemblies 2 are arranged on both sides of the top plate 1, each group of the bracket assemblies 2 includes a first bracket 21 and a second bracket 22, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are rotatably connected to the top plate 1, and a plurality of support members 23 are arranged at intervals on the opposite side walls of the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22;

[0041] Limiting component 3 : at least one limiting component 3 is disposed in the bracket component 2 , and the limiting component 3 is disposed between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 .

[0042] Specifically, the bracket assembly 2 is installed on both sides of the top plate 1, and the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 in the bracket assembly 2 are rotatably connected to the top plate 1; therefore, when in use, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 can be rotated in the opposite direction so that the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are set at an angle, and the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 set at an angle are fixed by the limiting assembly 3. At this time, the support of the top plate 1 can be achieved, and it is in a working state. The support members 23 on the two first brackets 21 and the support members 23 on the two second brackets 22 can both support the valve tappets, and can support and fix the valve tappets; after use, the limiting assembly 3 can be removed from between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22, and the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 can be rotated so that the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are parallel. When they are placed in this state, the occupied space can be reduced, which is convenient for their storage and placement.

[0043] When the limiting assembly 3 fixes the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 can support the top plate 1 from both sides, and its overall stability when placed on the ground is higher, and the support and fixation of the valve tappet are more stable.

[0044] The first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are rotatably connected to the top plate 1, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the angle between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22, making it more convenient to switch between the two states and more labor-saving for the staff.

[0045] The first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are rotatably connected to the top plate 1, which may be connected by shaft or ball joint, or connected by a connecting piece;

[0046] Among them, the connecting piece can be a bolt. When the angle needs to be adjusted, the bolt is loosened to adjust the relative angle between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket. After the adjustment is completed, the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are fixed to both sides of the top plate 1 by bolts.

[0047] The top plate 1 comprises:

[0048] A fixed plate 11, wherein a sliding cavity is formed in the fixed plate 11;

[0049] A connecting plate 12, wherein the connecting plate 12 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing plate 11, and a first end of the connecting plate 12 is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity;

[0050] The limiting member 13 is disposed on the fixing plate 11 and is used to limit the connection plate 12 .

[0051] Specifically, a sliding cavity is provided inside the fixing plate 11, and the connecting plate 12 is symmetrically mounted on both sides of the fixing plate 11, and its first end is slidably mounted in the sliding cavity, that is, by adjusting the position of the first end of the connecting plate 12 in the sliding cavity, the distance between the bracket assemblies 2 on both sides can be adjusted, which can meet the support and fixation of valve tappets of different lengths during engine maintenance. The limiter 13 is installed on the fixing plate 11, and is close to the two ends. When the position of the connecting plate 12 is adjusted, the limiter 13 is in a loose state. At this time, the limiter 13 does not interfere with the movement of the connecting plate 12. When the position of the connecting plate 12 is adjusted, the limiter 13 can be tightened, and the limiter 13 can contact the connecting plate 12 to fix the position of the connecting plate 12, prevent the connecting plate 12 from sliding in the sliding cavity during use, and improve the stability of the valve tappet support.

[0052] The limiting member 13 is a limiting screw, which is threadedly connected to the fixing plate 11 .

[0053] The bracket assembly 2 also includes:

[0054] A rotating shaft 24, the rotating shaft 24 is symmetrically arranged on the second end of the connecting plate 12;

[0055] A limiting plate 25, wherein the limiting plate 25 is connected to an end of the rotating shaft 24 away from the connecting plate 12;

[0056] A shaft sleeve 26 is disposed on the top of the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 . The first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are connected to the rotating shaft 24 through the shaft sleeve 26 .

[0057] Specifically, there are two rotating shafts 24 installed on one side of the connecting plate 12, and a shaft sleeve 26 is installed on the top of the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22. The shaft sleeve 26 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 24, which can realize the relative rotation between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 and the connecting plate 12, so as to adjust the angle between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 according to the use requirements. The limiting plate 25 is installed on the side of the rotating shaft 24 away from the connecting plate 12, that is, the shaft sleeve 26 is located between the connecting plate 12 and the limiting plate 25. The limiting plate 25 is used to limit the shaft sleeve 26 to prevent the shaft sleeve 26 from being separated from the rotating shaft 24 during use, thereby improving the stability of use.

[0058] A bearing may be installed between the rotating shaft 24 and the sleeve 26. The arrangement of the bearing can reduce the friction between the sleeve 26 and the rotating shaft 24, thereby increasing the service life of the sleeve 26 and the bearing, and making the angle adjustment between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 more labor-saving.

[0059] The diameter of the limiting plate 25 is greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft 24 .

[0060] Specifically, the limiting plate 25 is a disc-shaped structure, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 24 and may also be larger than the diameter of the shaft sleeve 26, so that after the limiting plate 25 is installed, it can limit the shaft sleeve 26 to prevent the shaft sleeve 26 from separating from the rotating shaft 24, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0061] The limiting component 3 includes:

[0062] A first fixing block 31, wherein the first fixing block 31 is disposed on the first bracket 21, and a first fixing hole is formed on the first fixing block 31;

[0063] A second fixing block 32, wherein the second fixing block 32 is disposed on the second bracket 22, and the second fixing block 32 is provided with a second fixing hole;

[0064] The connecting rod 33 has two ends connected to the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing block 32 respectively.

[0065] Specifically, the first fixing block 31 is installed on the first bracket 21 and is close to the middle position, and the second fixing block 32 is installed on the second bracket 22 and is close to the middle position. The positions of the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing block 32 match each other. After the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are rotated in opposite directions, the distance between the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing block 32 continues to increase. When the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 are rotated to the target angle, the rotation is stopped, and the two ends of the connecting rod 33 are respectively inserted into the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole. The connecting rod 33 can fix the positions of the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22. After the connecting rod 33 is installed, the angle between the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 is relatively fixed, and it will not change when subjected to external force, thereby improving the overall stability of the storage rack and meeting the use requirements for stable support of the valve tappet.

[0066] The connecting rod 33 is made of metal.

[0067] Among them, the connecting rod 33 can also be connected to the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing hole by bolts. When connected by bolts, through holes for the bolts to pass through are opened on both sides of the connecting rod 33, and internal threads are opened in the first fixing hole of the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing hole of the second fixing block 32. The bolts pass through the through holes on the connecting rod 33 and are threadedly connected with the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing block 32, thereby realizing the installation of the connecting rod, and can also meet the use requirements of fixing the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22.

[0068] The connecting rod 33 is a U-shaped structure.

[0069] Specifically, the connecting rod 33 is a U-shaped structure, which makes it convenient to insert the two ends of the connecting rod 33 into the first fixing hole of the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing hole of the second fixing block 32 respectively. After installation, the connecting rod 33 is located above the first fixing block 31 and the second fixing block 32, and it is difficult to fall, and the fixing stability is strong.

[0070] An arc-shaped groove is formed in the middle of the support member 23 .

[0071] Specifically, in order to improve the stability of the support member 23 in supporting the valve lifter, the support member 23 can be an overall arc-shaped structure with an arc-shaped groove inside, or it can be partially opened with an arc-shaped groove downward, and the valve lifter is placed in the arc-shaped groove to achieve support and fixation of the valve lifter.

[0072] The support member 23 may be an overall arc-shaped structure with an arc-shaped groove inside, or may be partially provided with an arc-shaped groove downward, so as to limit the valve tappet after placement and reduce the probability of it being scratched from the support member 23.

[0073] A buffer layer is disposed on the support member 23 and located on the arc groove.

[0074] Specifically, the buffer layer is installed in the arc groove, which is used to buffer and protect the placed valve lifter, avoid the placed valve lifter directly contacting the support member 23, causing scratches or damage, and improve the safety of placement.

[0075] The limiting member 13 is a limiting screw.

[0076] The fixing plate 11 is provided with a handle 4 .

[0077] Specifically, the handle 4 is installed above the middle of the fixing plate 11. The arrangement of the handle 4 facilitates the overall taking and carrying of the storage rack, thus meeting the needs of using the storage rack in different locations.

[0078] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
