Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of support frames, and in particular relates to a material storage rack and a traction mechanism thereof. Background Art

[0002] When parts, especially long, are placed on material storage racks, the racks themselves are also long due to the length of the parts. When a forklift is used to lift the material rack along its long side, it has difficulty navigating narrow aisles or elevators. When lifting the material rack along its short side, the forklift's limited length prevents it from fully lifting the rack, causing the cargo to become unstable and posing a safety hazard.

[0003] Prior art, such as the one disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication CN 210028308 U, discloses a four-way foldable cloth rack. This foldable rack reduces the space occupied when empty, and its four-way access design makes forklift operation more convenient.

A support leg 11 is arranged below one end of the bottom plate 1 close to the connecting mechanism 3, and a caster 12 is arranged below the other end. The heights of the support leg 11 and the caster 12 are the same. In this embodiment, the length of the bottom plate 1 is 3 meters and the width is 1.5 meters.

[0035] The connecting mechanism 3 includes a fixed seat 31 and a bearing 32. The bearing 32 is arranged inside the fixed seat 31. A connecting hole 33 is opened at the bottom of the fixed seat 31. The axis of the connecting hole 33 is on the same straight line as the axis of the bearing 32. The fixed seat 31 is used to fix the bearing 32, and the bearing 32 is used for rotational connection with the traction mechanism so that the material storage rack is pulled by the traction mechanism. A guiding block 34 is arranged at the bottom of the fixed seat 31, and a guiding groove 35 is arranged on the guiding block 34. The bearing 32 in this embodiment is a thrust ball bearing 32. The column of the traction mechanism is inserted into the bearing 32 through the guidance of the guiding groove 35.

[0036] Reinforcing ribs 13 are arranged at the bottom of the bottom plate 1. The reinforcing ribs 13 are used to enhance the strength of the bottom plate 1 and improve the bearing capacity of the material storage rack.

[0037] Support columns 21 are vertically arranged on the side plates 2. The upper ends of the support columns 21 are above the side plates 2, and the lower ends of the support columns 21 are below the bottom plate 1. The distance from the lower end of the support column 21 to the bottom plate 1 is less than the distance from the lower end of the support leg 11 to the bottom plate 1. A limit cover 22 is arranged at the lower end of the support column 21. The support columns 21 are convenient for stacking the material storage racks.

[0038] There is also provided a traction mechanism for a material storage rack as shown in Figure 3 Figure 9, including a limit plate 4, a fixing plate 5, a support plate 6, and a column 7. The fixing plate 5 is installed on the limit plate 4. One end of the support plate 6 is installed on the fixing plate 5, and the column 7 is fixedly installed at the other end of the support plate 6. The column 7 is used for connection with the connecting mechanism 3 in the above-mentioned material storage rack. The column 7 is inserted into the bearing 32 to enable rotational connection between the traction mechanism and the material storage rack. The support plate 6 lifts the bottom plate 1 on one side of the support leg 11, so that the material storage rack can be moved through the caster 12. The cross-section of the limit plate 4 is trapezoidal. A reinforcing plate 8 is arranged between the fixing plate 5 and the support plate 6.

The manual forklift is a prior art, and its structure and principle will not be elaborated here.

[0040] Working principle: When not moving, the heights of the support legs 11 and the casters 12 are the same to keep the support frame stably supported. When it is necessary to move, the column 7 of the traction mechanism is inserted into the bearing 32 from the guide of the guide groove 35, and then the traction mechanism is raised. The support plate 6 slightly lifts one end of the bottom plate 1 close to the support leg 11, so that the material storage rack can move through the casters 12. The bearing 32 enables the column 7 to rotate smoothly without jamming. When turning, the inclined surfaces on both sides of the limit plate 4 limit the material storage rack to facilitate its turning.
