[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0018] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0019] For the sake of convenience, only the parts related to the embodiments of the present invention are shown.

[0020] Combine Figure 2-5As shown, the rear wheel cover upper wire rack includes a bottom frame 1, a group of positioning components are provided in the bottom frame 1, and upper frame positioning mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the positioning components in the bottom frame, and the upper frame positioning mechanism includes a pressure frame 2 and a pair of pneumatic springs 3 which are respectively rotatably installed on the bottom frame 1, and the pneumatic spring 3 is located above the pressure frame 2, and the bottom of the pneumatic spring 3 is rotatably installed on the pressure frame 2, and the bottom frame 1 is respectively provided with a blocking mechanism and a limiting mechanism facing both sides of the pressure frame 2, and the blocking mechanism includes a side plate 4, a fixing sleeve 5 is provided on the side plate 4, a locking pin 6 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 5, and a pull disc 7 is provided at the outer end of the locking pin 6, a stopper 8 is provided on the locking pin 6 and is located in the fixing sleeve 5, and a spring 9 is provided on the locking pin 6 and is located in the fixing sleeve 5.

[0021] There are many types of rear wheel covers, such as Figure 1 The inner and outer ends of the rear wheel housing 22 are punched to form an inner flange 221 and an outer flange 222, respectively. To load the rear wheel housings onto the material rack for stacking, the two pressing racks are first moved backward. Once the pressing racks are in place, the blocking mechanism blocks the pressing rack on the same side. A certain number of rear wheel housings can then be placed one by one and in an orderly manner on the positioning assembly for positioning and stacking as required. When the positioning assembly is filled with a certain number of rear wheel housings, the blocking mechanism removes the blocking mechanism from the pressing racks. Under the action of the pneumatic springs, the pressing racks slowly move toward the same-side rear wheel housing until the two pressing racks press against both sides of the rear wheel housing, completing the loading and stacking of the rear wheel housings.

[0022] When the rear wheel covers are stacked on the rack, they are first positioned by the positioning assembly. When the rack is full of rear wheel covers, the pressing frame is used to press the two sides of the rear wheel covers. This can effectively prevent them from shaking and causing bumps, which may affect their subsequent use.

[0023] A handle 10 is provided on the top of the press frame 2. Before the press frame is moved backward with the help of the handle, the pull plate can be pulled outward by other tools such as the robotic arm on the production line. The pull plate drives the locking pin a short distance away from the press frame. At this time, the spring is compressed by the action of the block. When the press frame is moved into place, the locking pin is located below the press frame. Release the pull plate, and the spring recovers its deformation. Under the action of the spring, the locking pin is reset and forms a gear position. Finally, release the press frame, and the locking pin supports the press frame. This can prevent the press frame from rotating downward during the loading process of the rear wheel housing, thereby interfering with the loading of the rear wheel housing.

[0024] In this structure, if Figure 3The limiting mechanism includes a limiting frame 11, with limiting posts 12 positioned at the bottom of the limiting frame 11, facing the pressing frame 2. When a certain number of rear wheel housings are placed on the positioning assembly, the pull plate is pulled outward, the locking pin moves away from the pressing frame, and the pressing frame, under the action of the pneumatic spring, rotates downward until it presses against the corresponding position of the rear wheel housing. The limiting mechanism limits the pressing frame, preventing it from damaging the rear wheel housing during the downward pressing process. That is, when the pressing frame presses against the rear wheel housing, the limiting posts also support the corresponding position of the pressing frame.

[0025] As a preferred structure, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 The positioning assembly includes a pair of bottom blocks 13, a positioning frame 15 is fixed between the two bottom blocks 13 by a locking bolt 14, each positioning frame 15 is provided with a positioning strip 16, and the positioning strip 16 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 17, and the adjacent positioning grooves 17 form a support block 18.

[0026] This rack has three positioning assemblies. Each assembly comprises a pair of bottom blocks, with a positioning bracket positioned between them. In practice, the positioning brackets can be adjusted at different angles to accommodate various rear wheel housing sizes. To adjust the corresponding positioning bracket, simply loosen the locking bolts on either side to rotate the bracket.

[0027] When stacking the rear wheel covers onto the positioning assemblies, as shown in Figures 2-3, place them with the inner flange facing downward and the outer flange facing upward. Simultaneously insert the inner flanges of the rear wheel covers into the positioning slots on the same level of the three positioning assemblies. Once the rear wheel covers are properly inserted, the support blocks will support the bottom of the rear wheel covers. This completes the loading and stacking of the wheel covers.

[0028] In addition, shovel feet 19 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom frame 1, an L-shaped top frame 20 is provided on the top of the bottom frame 1, and limit blocks 21 are provided on the inner sides of the corners of the top frame 20.

[0029] In practice, if the current rack is full, you can use a forklift to insert the forklift arm into the opening of the shovel foot on the same side, then use the forklift to lift the current rack and stack it on top of the previous rack. At this time, the four shovel feet at the bottom of the current rack are stacked on the four corners of the top rack of the previous rack. The limit blocks located inside the shovel feet serve as limiters, which can ensure more stable rack stacking. Stacking multiple racks in order can greatly save storage space.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
