Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal coil processing and manufacturing, in particular to a support structure for carrying metal coils. Background Art

[0002] In the metal coil (e.g., aluminum coil) processing and manufacturing industry, in some cases, a metal strip (e.g., aluminum strip) is wound around a core sleeve to form a metal coil. The metal coil can then be suspended from a rack via the core sleeve for subsequent processing, such as heat treatment processes like annealing. However, in other cases, no core sleeve is used during the coiling process of the metal strip (referred to as "sleeveless metal coil"). When performing subsequent processing such as heat treatment on such sleeveless metal coils, the coil cannot be placed by suspending the core sleeve from a rack and must instead be placed directly on a rack for processing.

[0003] Conventional racks are typically made of iron and feature two sets of arms spaced apart along the axial direction of the metal coil (when the coil is properly placed on the rack) for supporting the metal coil. Each set of arms has two arms symmetrically arranged about the axial direction of the metal coil, forming a roughly V-shaped support frame that contacts and supports the metal coil near its axial edges. However, when the metal coil is a relatively low-hardness material, such as aluminum, and the unsleeved aluminum coil is placed directly on such a conventional rack for subsequent processing, the heavy weight of the coil can easily cause embossing near the axial edge of the coil where it contacts the arms of the iron rack, requiring the outer layer of the aluminum coil to be removed and discarded. Depending on the thickness, weight, and curvature of the outer ring of the aluminum coil, the embossing can penetrate even more than ten layers of the aluminum coil, necessitating the removal of more than ten layers, resulting in significant material loss.

[0004] To address this issue, a common approach in the field is to install isolation structures on the rack arms to prevent direct contact between the aluminum coils and the iron rack arms. Common isolation structures include wire mesh or rubber pads, but each has its own drawbacks. The wire mesh is typically attached to the rack arms at both edges, with the center portion suspended in the air. This arrangement can easily break the wire mesh at its attachment point when the aluminum coils are heavy. Rubber pads, on the other hand, have poor high-temperature resistance and cannot be used in heat treatment operations such as annealing.

[0005] In addition, the above-mentioned conventional material racks also have the following disadvantages: the structure of the conventional material rack (especially the structure of the arms) makes it difficult to stack and store it when not in use. When multiple such conventional material racks are stacked, there is a greater risk of tipping over, posing a safety hazard; the conventional material rack is limited by the distance between its two sets of arms along the axial direction of the coil, and its scope of application is very limited: this material rack can only be used to place coils with an axial width greater than this distance (narrower coils are prone to falling from the gap between the two sets of arms, or at least are unstable), so it cannot be used in coil slitting workshops; when metal coils are placed on conventional material racks, they are difficult to transfer together. Currently, most people use forklifts to lift and transport the rack and the coils on it from the bottom of the rack, but this mode of transportation is not only prone to tipping over, but also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a support structure for supporting metal coils (especially aluminum coils) to solve or at least alleviate the problems existing in the above-mentioned conventional metal coil material racks. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present utility model is to address the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and provide a support structure for supporting metal coils, so as to solve or at least alleviate the problem of axial outer edge imprinting of coils (especially metal coils with lower hardness such as aluminum coils), reduce the risk of metal coils tipping over during transportation and the risk of collapse and tipping of stacked support structures during storage, so that the support structure can be applied to a variety of metal coils and different process scenarios.

[0008] In one aspect, the present invention provides a support structure for supporting a metal coil, the support structure comprising:

[0009] base;

[0010] a first support portion and a second support portion located above the base portion and coupled to the base portion, wherein the first support portion and the second support portion are arranged side by side symmetrically with respect to a transverse axis passing through a center position of the support structure in a longitudinal direction of the support structure; and

[0011] a first bearing portion and a second bearing portion respectively located above the first supporting portion and supported by the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion, wherein the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion are arranged side by side symmetrically with respect to the transverse axis in the longitudinal direction to form a bearing space, the bearing space being configured to allow the metal coil to be placed on the support structure with its axial direction extending parallel to the transverse direction of the support structure, and wherein each of the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion is a plate extending continuously across the width of the support structure in the transverse direction; and

[0012] a first hanging portion and a second hanging portion, wherein the first hanging portion is configured to be located on a first side surface of the support structure and includes at least one hook member, and the second hanging portion is configured to be located on a second side surface of the support structure opposite to the first side surface and includes at least two hook members, wherein the first hanging portion and the second hanging portion are configured to cooperate with each other to allow the support structure to be lifted as a whole.

[0013] The support structure of the present invention not only enables the lower portion of the metal coil to be in continuous or at least substantially continuous contact over a large area with the upper surface of the support structure's bearing portion, thereby stably placing the coil on the support structure and preventing it from falling, but also prevents deep embossing on the axial edges of coils with lower hardness (e.g., aluminum coils). Furthermore, the support structure of the present invention is suitable for metal coils of varying axial widths, greatly expanding its scope of application and enabling it to be used in all workplaces involved in metal coil manufacturing, including hot rolling, cold rolling, heat treatment, and slitting. When not in use, the support structure can be stacked and stored, and is not prone to tipping. Furthermore, the support structure provides a suspension portion that ensures balanced force during lifting, ensuring that the support structure and the metal coil thereon are not prone to rotation or shaking, thereby ensuring stability.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the height of each of the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion gradually increases along a direction from close to a transverse axis passing through a center position of the support structure toward a direction away from the transverse axis.

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first support portion and the second support portion each include a plurality of plate-like support members extending along the vertical direction and arranged at intervals along the transverse direction, and the height of each plate-like support member gradually increases from a transverse axis close to the center position of the support structure toward a direction away from the transverse axis.

[0016] This arrangement of plate-like supports not only saves materials, making the bracket structure lighter and easier to transport, but also facilitates replacement of only the damaged supports when some supports are damaged, without having to replace the entire support part, thus facilitating maintenance.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first hanging part and the second hanging part respectively include two hook members, wherein the two hook members of each of the first hanging part and the second hanging part are arranged at positions of the corresponding side surface close to the two opposite ends of the side surface and spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first hanging portion and the second hanging portion are at the same position in the vertical direction.

[0019] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first side surface and the second side surface are two opposite side surfaces of the support structure extending along the transverse direction and the vertical direction.

[0020] This arrangement prevents the hook of the suspension from interfering with the components of a forklift (the tines of a forklift usually fork into the corresponding components at the bottom of the support structure along the axis of the metal coil), so that the two methods of lifting and transfer by forklift do not interfere with each other.

[0021] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each hook member includes: a connecting portion, which is configured to be detachably connected or fixedly connected to the corresponding side of the first side surface and the second side surface of the support structure member and extends in a vertical direction; and a hook portion, which is configured to extend from the connecting portion and open downward to engage a lifting device.

[0022] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first hanging part and the second hanging part respectively include two hook members, wherein the two hook members of each of the first hanging part and the second hanging part are respectively located on the two plate-like support members of the first support part and the second support part that are closest to the two ends of the support part in the transverse direction, and each hook member is configured to be connected to the end surface of the corresponding plate-like support member extending along the transverse direction and the vertical direction.

[0023] In this way, hooks extending roughly along the longitudinal direction of the support structure are arranged at the four corners of the support structure. This arrangement can further improve the suspension stability, so that the support structure and the metal coil are not easy to shake or tip over during the suspension transfer process.

[0024] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first load-bearing portion and the second load-bearing portion are constructed as a first plate and a second plate that are independently arranged from each other, the first plate and the second plate are arranged side by side symmetrically with respect to the transverse axis in the longitudinal direction, and each of the first plate and the second plate is arranged gradually upwardly inclined from a position close to the transverse axis passing through the center position of the support structure toward a direction away from the transverse axis, so that the first plate and the second plate together form a V-shaped load-bearing space.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first load-bearing portion and the second load-bearing portion are constructed as the first part and the second part of the same continuously arranged plate, the first part and the second part are supported by the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion respectively, and are arranged side by side symmetrically with each other about the transverse axis in the longitudinal direction, and each of the first part and the second part is arranged gradually upwardly inclined from a transverse axis close to the center position of the support structure toward a direction away from the transverse axis, so that the first part and the second part together form a V-shaped load-bearing space.

[0026] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first plate and the second plate are configured to be slidably coupled to the first support portion and the second support portion, respectively.

[0027] This arrangement allows the distance between the first and second plates in the longitudinal direction to be adjusted according to the size of the metal coil, so as to adjust the contact area and contact position between the coil and the support structure as needed.

[0028] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support structure further includes a plurality of fork tubes located below and connected to the base, each fork tube including a fork hole extending along the transverse direction. Thus, the support structure of the present invention provides a flexible transfer method for practical selection.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support structure further comprises one or more insertion holes extending in a vertical direction on a circumferential side of the support structure, and the one or more insertion holes are configured to allow insertion of corresponding one or more anti-fall rods.

[0036] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. What is described here is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can conceive of other ways to implement the present invention based on the preferred embodiment, and the other ways also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0037] During the metal coil processing process, when performing subsequent processing such as heat treatment on sleeveless metal coils, it is impossible to place the coils by suspending the coil core sleeve on a bracket. Therefore, the coils must be placed directly on the material rack for operation. The structure of traditional metal coil material racks is not only limited in scope, only able to carry axially wide coils and unsuitable for slitting workshops, but also easily causes the edges of the metal coils placed on them (especially coils with lower hardness, such as aluminum coils) to be embossed at the contact area with the material rack, thus causing them to be scrapped. In addition, the structure of traditional material racks makes them difficult to stack, store, and transport with the coils they hold.

[0038] In order to solve or at least alleviate the problems existing in the existing material racks, the utility model provides a support structure for supporting metal coils, which is different from the above-mentioned traditional metal coil material racks, and the support structure comprises: a base; a first support portion and a second support portion located above the base and connected to the base, wherein the first support portion and the second support portion are symmetrically arranged side by side with respect to a transverse axis passing through the center position of the support structure in the longitudinal direction of the support structure; and a first bearing portion and a second bearing portion respectively located above the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion and supported by the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion respectively, wherein the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion are symmetrically arranged side by side with respect to the transverse axis in the longitudinal direction. The first and second hanging portions are arranged to jointly form a bearing space, which is configured to allow the metal coil to be placed on the support structure in a manner that its axial direction extends parallel to the transverse direction of the support structure, and wherein each of the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion is a plate that extends continuously across the width of the support structure in the transverse direction; and a first hanging portion and a second hanging portion, the first hanging portion being configured to be located on a first side surface of the support structure and including at least one hook member, the second hanging portion being configured to be located on a second side surface of the support structure opposite to the first side surface and including at least two hook members, wherein the first hanging portion and the second hanging portion are configured to cooperate with each other to allow the support structure to be lifted as a whole.

[0039] The following describes the present invention in detail with reference to various embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Directional terms such as "upper," "middle," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are used hereinafter with reference to the support structure being placed normally on the ground.

[0040] Figure 1 A perspective view of a support structure for supporting a metal coil according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2The figure shows a front view of the support structure. The support structure 1 includes: a base 10; a first support portion 21 and a second support portion 22 located above and connected to the base; and a first load-bearing portion 31 and a second load-bearing portion 32 located above and supported by the first and second support portions 21 and 22, respectively. Preferably, the base 10 is a plate-like component extending generally in a horizontal direction (i.e., along the longitudinal direction X and the transverse direction Y of the support structure as shown in the figure), which is used to provide overall support for the support structure and allow other functional components to be arranged above or below it. The first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 are arranged side by side symmetrically with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction X of the support structure 1 about a transverse axis passing through the center of the support structure 1. Similarly, the first bearing portion 31 and the second bearing portion 32 respectively formed by the first supporting portion 21 and the second supporting portion 22 are also arranged side by side symmetrically with respect to the transverse axis in the longitudinal direction X, so as to jointly form a bearing space, which allows a metal coil, such as an aluminum coil, to be placed on the support structure 1 in a manner such that its axial direction extends parallel to the transverse direction Y of the support structure 1.

[0041] Furthermore, each of the first bearing portion 31 and the second bearing portion 32 is a plate that extends continuously in the transverse direction Y across the width of the support structure 1 (i.e., the dimension of the support structure in the transverse direction Y), that is, the dimension of the plate forming each of the first and second bearing portions in the transverse direction Y is not less than the dimension of the overall support structure in the direction Y, and in particular is not less than the maximum distance between the corresponding first and second support portions 21 and 22 in the direction, and extends continuously, so that when metal coils with different axial widths are properly placed on the support structure, the coils can uniformly contact the first and second bearing portions with a larger contact area in the bearing space.

[0042] Unlike conventional racks that support coils by means of two sets of arms spaced apart in the transverse direction Y (i.e., with the edges of the coil resting on the arms), the support structure according to the present application enables the lower portion of the coil to maintain continuous, or at least substantially continuous, contact with the upper surface of the support structure's bearing portion over a large area. This allows the coil to be stably placed on the support structure, making it less likely to fall, and prevents deep embossing on the axial edges of relatively low-hardness coils (e.g., aluminum coils). Furthermore, the support structure according to the present invention is adaptable to metal coils of varying axial widths, unlike conventional racks that are limited to coils with a narrow axial width range (e.g., only supporting coils with a width greater than the axial gap between the two sets of arms). This significantly expands its application range, allowing it to be used in all workplaces, including hot rolling, cold rolling, heat treatment, and slitting. For example, in slitting processes, not only can the complete coil before slitting be placed on the support structure according to the present invention, but also coils with a smaller axial width formed by axial slitting can be stably placed on the support structure. In addition, the support structure can be stacked and stored when not in use and is not prone to tipping over.

[0043] Preferably, the height of each of the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 gradually increases from a position near a transverse axis passing through the center of the support structure 1 toward a position away from the transverse axis. In other words, the heights of the first and second support portions 21, 22 gradually increase outward (away from each other). Accordingly, the first and second support portions 31, 32, respectively, formed by the first and second support portions 21, 22, are arranged to gradually tilt upward from a position near the transverse axis toward a position away from the transverse axis, thereby forming a V-shaped or substantially V-shaped support space. When the metal coil is properly placed on the support structure 1, the first and second support portions 31, 32 make substantially tangential contact with the outer layer of the coil.

[0044] More preferably, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 each include a plurality of plate-like support members 20 extending in the vertical direction Z and arranged at intervals along the transverse direction Y. The height of each plate-like support member gradually increases from a position near a transverse axis passing through the center of the support structure toward a position away from the transverse axis. This arrangement of plate-like support members not only saves material, making the support structure lightweight and easy to transport, but also facilitates maintenance by replacing only damaged support members without having to replace the entire support structure.

[0045] Furthermore, to facilitate transportation, the support structure 1 includes a first suspension portion 41 and a second suspension portion 42. The first suspension portion is configured to be located on a first side of the support structure 1 and includes at least one hook 40. The second suspension portion 42 is configured to be located on a second side of the support structure, opposite the first side, and includes at least two hooks 40. The first suspension portion 41 and the second suspension portion 42 are configured to cooperate with each other to allow the support structure to be lifted as a whole. The provision of these suspension portions 41 and 42 allows the support structure to be transferred by crane within a workshop. In particular, when metal coils are placed on the support structure, this suspension portion allows the coils and the support structure to be suspended and transported together. Compared to traditional transfer methods using forklifts, this lifting method is particularly advantageous when transporting coils and the support structure simultaneously, as it is less likely to cause the metal coils to shift, tip, or roll off the support structure. In addition, at least one hook member and at least two hook members are respectively provided on one side surface of the support structure and the other side surface opposite thereto, so that at least three suspension points are formed on the opposite sides of the support structure to ensure the balance of force during lifting, and to ensure that the support structure and the metal coil thereon are not prone to rotation and shaking, thereby ensuring stability.

[0046] It can be understood that in order to further improve the suspension stability, those skilled in the art can add one or more hooks in various arrangements and positions on other sides. For example, one or more hooks can be set on all four sides of the bracket structure. These implementations do not depart from the scope of the present invention.

[0047] Preferably, reference Figure 2 Each hook member 40 includes: a connecting portion 401, which is configured to be detachably connected or fixedly connected to the corresponding side surface of the support structure member 1 where the hook member is provided, and extends along the vertical direction Z; and a hook portion 402, which is configured to extend from the connecting portion 401 and open downward to engage with a lifting device, in particular, a lifting chain of the lifting device.

[0048] Preferably, the first suspension portion 41 and the second suspension portion 42 are at the same position in the vertical direction Z. Such an arrangement is conducive to improving suspension stability.

[0049] Preferably, the first side surface and the second side surface are two opposing side surfaces of the support structure 1 extending in the transverse direction Y and the vertical direction Z, respectively. Since the tines of a forklift typically penetrate corresponding components at the bottom of the support structure along the axis of the metal coil, the arrangement of the first and second hanging portions 41 and 42 on the two side surfaces spaced apart in the longitudinal direction prevents the hooks of the hanging portions from interfering with components of the forklift, thereby preventing mutual interference between lifting and forklift transfer.

[0050] Further preferably, the first suspension portion 41 and the second suspension portion 42 each include two hooks 40, wherein the two hooks 40 of each are located on the two plate-like support members of the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22, respectively, closest to the two ends of the support portion in the transverse direction Y. Each hook is configured to couple to the end surface of the corresponding plate-like support member extending in the transverse direction Y and the vertical direction Z. Thus, arranging hooks extending generally in the longitudinal direction of the support structure 1 at each of the four corners further improves suspension stability, preventing the support structure and the metal coil from shaking or tipping over during suspension transfer.

[0051] Figure 5 A schematic diagram shows the overall lifting state of the support structure according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, four hooks 40 are arranged at the four corners of the support structure, so that the support structure can be lifted as a whole while carrying a metal coil thereon.

[0052] Alternatively, the first and second supporting portions 31 and 32 may be independent first and second plates (i.e., spaced apart in the longitudinal direction X), or they may be the first and second portions of a continuous plate (i.e., the plate extends continuously in both the longitudinal direction X and the transverse direction Y). The first and second plates / portions are arranged symmetrically side by side in the longitudinal direction X about a transverse axis, and each of the first and second plates / portions is arranged gradually upwardly inclined from a position near the transverse axis passing through the center of the support structure toward a position away from the transverse axis, such that the first and second plates / portions together form a V-shaped supporting space. Preferably, when the first and second supporting portions 31 and 32 are independent / spaced apart first and second plates, the first and second plates may be slidably coupled to the first and second support portions 21 and 22, respectively, thereby allowing the distance between the first and second plates in the longitudinal direction X to be adjusted according to the size of the metal coil, thereby adjusting the contact area and contact position between the coil and the support structure as needed.

[0053] The support structure according to the present invention may further include a plurality of fork tubes 50 located below and connected to the base 10. Each fork tube includes a fork hole 51 extending in the transverse direction Y. The fork hole can allow the fork tines of a forklift to enter and engage therewith, thereby allowing forklift transport. In this way, the support structure of the present invention provides a flexible transfer method, which can be selected in practice.

[0054] In addition, the support structure according to the present invention may further include one or more sockets located on the circumferential side of the support structure, which extend in the vertical direction (for example, circular sockets). The sockets are configured to allow one or more corresponding anti-fall rods to be inserted, thereby further preventing the metal coil from rolling or tipping over.

[0055] The above description of various embodiments of the present invention is provided for the purpose of description to one of ordinary skill in the relevant art. It is not intended to exclude or limit the present invention to a single disclosed embodiment. As described above, a person of ordinary skill in the art will understand the various alternatives and variations of the present invention. Therefore, although some alternative embodiments are specifically described, a person of ordinary skill in the art will understand or relatively easily develop other embodiments. The present invention is intended to include all alternatives, modifications and variations of the present invention described herein, as well as other embodiments that fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention described above.
