Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of refrigeration technology and warehousing logistics, and in particular to a multi-layer adjustable energy-saving refrigeration shelf. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern warehousing, logistics, and refrigeration technology, existing multi-layer shelving systems have several significant drawbacks. Firstly, the low efficiency of manual material sorting and loading is a prominent issue. Existing multi-layer shelving systems are typically designed as single-layer or multi-layer fixed structures, with each storage box capable of holding only one type of material. When different types of materials need to be placed, manual sorting and loading are essential. This manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to errors, leading to low work efficiency. For example, in food processing plants or cold chain logistics centers, different types of food need to be stored in separate storage boxes. Due to the lack of automated sorting devices, workers must manually classify and place the materials into the appropriate boxes. This not only increases labor costs but can also lead to material mixing, affecting product quality and safety. During manual sorting, workers need to frequently open the shelving doors to retrieve materials. Each opening causes cold air to escape, allowing warm outside air to enter the shelving, forcing the refrigeration system to operate more frequently to maintain the set low temperature environment. This frequent refrigeration cycle not only increases energy consumption but also shortens the lifespan of the refrigeration equipment.
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a multi-layer adjustable energy-saving refrigeration shelf. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a multi-layer adjustable energy-saving refrigeration shelf, aiming to solve the problems of low work efficiency and cold air loss caused by manual material handling in existing shelves. The technical solution is as follows:
[0005] A multi-layer adjustable energy-saving refrigeration shelf includes a rotating table, a worktable, a positioning seat, an adjusting block, a shelf, and a dispensing device. The rotating table and the worktable are rotatably connected. The positioning seat is mounted on the rotating table and slidably connected to the adjusting block. The shelf is detachably connected to the positioning seat, and the dispensing device is connected to the worktable. The shelf includes a base, a partition layer, a first box, and a second box. The partition layer is detachably connected to the base. The first box is placed on the partition layer, and the second box is disposed on the partition layer. Both the first box and the second box are provided with partition plates.
[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the positioning seat includes a mounting base, an outer sleeve, and a sliding column; the shelf is mounted on the mounting base, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base, a sliding column is provided on the connecting rod, a roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, the outer sleeve is fitted onto the connecting rod and slidably connected to the connecting rod, a slide rail is provided on the outer sleeve, a mounting block is fixedly connected to the top of the outer sleeve, and the mounting block is connected to a rotating platform.
[0007] Furthermore, the material distribution device includes a conveyor belt, a drive device for driving the conveyor belt is provided on the conveyor belt, a material distribution plate is provided on the conveyor belt, a material distribution hopper is installed on the conveyor belt, and a first receiving trough and a second receiving trough are provided on the conveyor belt.

[0010] Beneficial effects
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Firstly, this device is equipped with a material sorting device, which can automatically classify different types of materials and transport them to designated boxes. This greatly reduces the need for manual material sorting and improves work efficiency. The automated material sorting device reduces the frequency of manual door opening and closing, effectively reducing cold air loss and lowering the energy consumption of the refrigeration system.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a multi-layer adjustable energy-saving refrigeration shelf is characterized by comprising a rotating table 1, a worktable 2, a positioning seat 3, an adjusting block 4, a shelf 5, and a material distribution device 6. The rotating table 1 and the worktable 2 are rotatably connected, the worktable 2 is placed on the ground, and the rotating table 1 can rotate around the worktable 2.
[0024] The positioning seat 3 is mounted on the rotary table 1, the positioning seat 3 is slidably connected to the adjusting block 4, the shelf 5 is detachably connected to the positioning seat 3, and the material distribution device 6 is connected to the worktable 2.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 5 includes a base 51, a partition layer 52, a first box 53, and a second box 54. The partition layer 52 is detachably connected to the base 51. The first box 53 is placed on the partition layer 52, and the second box 54 is disposed on the partition layer 52. Both the first box 53 and the second box 54 are provided with partitions. Different types of materials can be placed in the first box 53 and the second box 54.
[0026] The number and position of the dividers 52 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and quantity of stored items to maximize space utilization. The multi-layer design fully utilizes vertical space and reduces floor space.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning seat 3 includes a mounting base 31, an outer sleeve 34, and a sliding column 36; the shelf 5 is mounted on the mounting base 31, the bottom of the mounting base 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 32, the connecting rod 32 is provided with a sliding column 36, the bottom of the connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to a roller 37, the outer sleeve 34 is fitted onto the connecting rod 32 and slidably connected to the connecting rod 32, the outer sleeve 34 has a slide rail 35, the top of the outer sleeve 34 is fixedly connected to a mounting block 33, and the mounting block 33 is connected to the rotary table 1.
[0028] When the rotary table 1 rotates, the roller 37 of the positioning seat 3 slides on the adjusting block 4, the connecting rod 32 is pushed upward, the sliding column 36 moves upward in the slide rail 35, and the mounting seat 31 together with the shelf 5 installed on the mounting seat 31 is pushed up.
[0029] There are four positioning seats 3, which are distributed along the circumference of the rotating table 1.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the material sorting device 6 includes a conveyor belt 61, a drive device 62 for driving the conveyor belt 61, a material sorting plate 63 on the conveyor belt 61, a material sorting hopper 64 installed on the conveyor belt 61, and a first receiving trough 65 and a second receiving trough 66 on the conveyor belt 61. The material sorting plate 63 enables the sorting and transportation of materials.
[0031] To enable the receiving troughs to connect multiple layers of boxes, they are designed to be adjustable: the first receiving trough 65 and the second receiving trough 66 are made of flexible material. One end of the flexible receiving trough is connected to the conveyor belt 61, and the other end can be freely bent to connect to the shelf 5 to accommodate different layer heights. Preferably, they are fixed to supports at different heights by clamps or retaining rings to ensure that each box can receive material.

[0034] The shelf 5 also includes a temperature sensor, which is installed inside the shelf 5 for real-time temperature monitoring.
[0035] During installation, it is important to note that the shelf 5 and the material distribution device 6 do not interfere with each other when the rotary table 1 rotates. In use, the rotary table 1 is manually rotated to slide the shelf 5, which needs to be loaded, onto the adjusting block 4. The shelf 5 is then lifted. The positions of the first receiving trough 65 and the second receiving trough 66 are adjusted as needed to align them with the first box 53 and the second box 54.
