Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of stopper storage, and particularly to a protective rack for stopper storage. Background Art

[0002] A stopper is a refractory rod installed in a ladle to control the opening and closing of the nozzle and the molten steel flow by lifting and displacement, also known as a ceramic stopper rod. The drying and finished product storage of stoppers require a site for placement. Without protection during storage, they are prone to collision and product damage.

[0003] Currently, a general protective rack includes crossbars and vertical bars. The crossbars are welded to the tops of the vertical bars to enclose the stoppers, making it difficult for the stoppers to fall and collide during drying.

[0004] However, since the crossbars are welded to the vertical bars, the enclosed area is limited, unable to accommodate more stoppers, thus reducing the applicable range. Utility Model Content

[0005] To expand the storage space, this application provides a protective rack for stopper storage.

[0006] A protective rack for stopper storage provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A protective rack for stopper storage includes at least three crossbars and three vertical bars. The crossbars and the vertical bars are connected by a connecting component; a telescopic component for adjusting the length of the crossbars is arranged on the crossbars; a lifting component for adjusting the height of the vertical bars is arranged on the vertical bars.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, when the storage quantity of stoppers increases, the length of the crossbars is adjusted by the telescopic component, the height of the vertical bars is adjusted by the lifting component, and then the crossbars and the vertical bars are fixed by the connecting component, so as to adjust the storage space for stoppers, thereby expanding the storage space.

[0009] Optionally, the connecting component includes hook bars and insertion cylinders. There are at least three groups of hook bars, and two hook bars are provided in each group. The two hook bars are respectively fixed at both ends of the crossbars; there are two insertion cylinders, and the two insertion cylinders are arranged around the axis of the vertical bar and are both connected to the vertical bar. The hook bars are inserted into the insertion cylinders.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, after the adjustment of the crossbars and the vertical bars is completed, the hook bars are inserted into the insertion cylinders, forming a stable connection between the crossbars and the vertical bars. Through this connection method, the assembly of the protective rack becomes simple and fast, enabling the operator to easily complete the assembly and disassembly work of the protective rack, thereby improving the work efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, the crossbar includes a first sub-bar and a second sub-bar, and the first sub-bar and the second sub-bar are connected by a telescopic assembly; the telescopic assembly includes a first threaded cylinder and a second threaded cylinder, and the threaded end of the first threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to one end of the first sub-bar away from the hook bar; the threaded end of the second threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to one end of the second sub-bar away from the hook bar, and the internal thread directions of the first threaded cylinder and the second threaded cylinder are opposite; the fixed end of the first threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the second threaded cylinder.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the length of the crossbar, rotate the first threaded cylinder and the second threaded cylinder. Since the internal thread directions of the first threaded cylinder and the second threaded cylinder are opposite, the first sub-bar and the second sub-bar move towards or away from each other, thereby realizing the adjustment of the crossbar length to adapt to plug rods of different sizes or quantities, and further improving the adaptability and stability of the protective frame.

[0013] Optionally, the vertical bar includes a third sub-bar and a fourth sub-bar, and the third sub-bar and the fourth sub-bar are connected by a lifting assembly; the lifting assembly includes a third threaded cylinder and a fourth threaded cylinder, and the threaded end of the third threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to one end of the third sub-bar away from the insertion cylinder; the threaded end of the fourth threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to one end of the fourth sub-bar away from the ground, and the internal thread directions of the third threaded cylinder and the fourth threaded cylinder are opposite; the fixed end of the third threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the fourth threaded cylinder.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the vertical bar, rotate the third threaded cylinder and the fourth threaded cylinder. Since the internal thread directions of the third threaded cylinder and the fourth threaded cylinder are opposite, the third sub-bar and the fourth sub-bar move towards or away from each other, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the vertical bar height. It can be quickly expanded to the required height through a simple rotation operation, and further improves the space utilization rate.

[0015] Optionally, there are also multiple insertion cylinders, and all the insertion cylinders are evenly arranged around the axis of the vertical bar.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple insertion cylinders are evenly arranged around the axis of the vertical bar, which can provide more connection points, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the crossbar and the vertical bar.

[0017] Optionally, a counterweight is provided at the bottom end of the vertical bar, and the counterweight is used to increase the stability of the vertical bar.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight at the bottom of the vertical bar is increased, thereby reducing the center of gravity of the entire protective frame, and further facilitating the improvement of the stability of the protective frame.

[0019] Optionally, the vertical bar and the counterweight are detachably connected.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the detachable design enables the counterweight to be added or removed according to actual needs. When it is necessary to increase the stability of the protective frame, the counterweight can be added; while when it is necessary to reduce the weight of the protective frame or for transportation, the counterweight can be removed. This flexibility enables the protective frame to adapt to different usage scenarios and requirements.

[0021] Optionally, the counterweight is in the shape of a triangular pyramid.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the triangular pyramid-shaped counterweight has a stable bottom structure, which can better disperse and bear the pressure from the vertical bars, thereby increasing the stability of the vertical bars.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. By providing the hook bar and the insertion cylinder, the assembly of the protective frame becomes simple and fast, enabling the operator to easily complete the assembly and disassembly of the protective frame, thereby improving work efficiency;

[0025] 2. By providing the first sub-bar, the second sub-bar, the first threaded cylinder and the second threaded cylinder, the length of the cross bar can be adjusted to adapt to different sizes or quantities of plug rods, thereby improving the adaptability and stability of the protective frame;

[0026] 3. By providing the third sub-bar, the fourth sub-bar, the third threaded cylinder and the fourth threaded cylinder, the height of the vertical bar can be easily adjusted and quickly expanded to the required height through a simple rotation operation, thereby improving space utilization.
