[0054] Example 1

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a car water chute delivery rack comprises a bottom frame 1 and a vertical column 2 arranged on the bottom frame 1; the rack is surrounded by two parallel strip plates;

[0056] The column 2 is evenly provided with a plurality of support blocks 3 at different heights. Both sides of the middle portion of the support block 3 are hinged to the two strip plates of the column 2. The plurality of support blocks include a first support block 31 and a second support block 32 from bottom to top.

[0057] The support block includes a front end and a rear end, wherein the front end is a storage end of the support block;

[0058] The tail ends of adjacent support blocks are connected by connecting rods 4. Both ends of the connecting rods 4 are provided with connecting rod 4 grooves in the length direction. The support blocks are rotatably connected to the connecting rods 4 through the cooperation of the pins and the connecting rod 4 grooves.

[0060] A counterweight block 6 is provided at the bottom end of the connecting rod 4 at the lowest point of each column 2. When all the support blocks are empty, the front end of the first support block 31 extends out of the column 2, and the front ends of the other support blocks are all stored inside the column 2.

[0061] The strip plates are secured to the bottom frame 1 via L-shaped connecting plates 7. Reinforcement plates 8 are located on top of the columns 2, each connected to a strip plate on either side. The delivery rack features eight columns 2, arranged in two rows, with four columns 2 each forming a space for the vehicle chute. Each column 2 is equipped with six support blocks.

[0062] Two opposite sides of the space are provided with positioning posts 9, which are vertically connected to the bottom frame 1. The top of the positioning posts 9 is conical.

[0063] The four corners of the bottom frame 1 are provided with stacked columns 10 that are higher than the columns 2. The center of the top surface of the stacked columns 10 is provided with a conical protrusion. The bottom end of the stacked columns 10 is provided with a stacking hole for socketing the conical protrusion. The bottom end of the stacked columns 10 is lower than the bottom frame 1. The bottom end of the bottom frame 1 is provided with a reinforcement beam.

[0064] Use of the above-mentioned automobile water chute delivery rack:

[0065] When the shipping rack does not have a car water trough, each support block rotates upward to the limit position under the gravity of the counterweight block 6, and the front end of the first support block 31 extends out of the column 2, and the front ends of the other support blocks are all stored inside the column 2 (such as Figure 2 shown);

[0066] When the automobile water trough is placed, because the front ends of the support blocks are all stored inside the column 2, the workpiece can smoothly pass through the upper support blocks downward, and when it reaches the first support block 31 at the bottom, it is blocked and supported by the support block, thereby achieving the purpose of placing the workpiece. At the same time, under the action of the gravity of the workpiece, the first support block 31 at the bottom rotates to a horizontal position (such as Figure 3 shown);

[0067] The first support block 31 drives the second support block 32 above it to extend out of the column 2 through the connecting rod 4, and the same workpiece can be put in again from the top down. When the second workpiece drops to the second support block, the second support block 32 blocks it and rotates downward at a certain angle. At this time, the first support block 31 no longer rotates because there is a connecting rod 4 groove on the connecting rod 4, and the workpiece is placed on the second support block 32 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 shown);

[0068] This cyclic operation makes it easier to position the car trough to the material rack. The number of support blocks can be adjusted to the same number of workpieces.

[0069] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in the relevant technical field, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
