[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This utility model provides a storage rack with an automatic rotating function, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes a shelf body 1 and a base 2. A rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom end of the shelf body 1. The rotating shaft 3 passes through the base 2 and a first gear 4 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of one end inside the base 2. A motor 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the base 2. A second gear 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5. The gear ratio between the second gear 6 and the first gear 4 is 1 / 10, that is, when the motor 5 drives the second gear 6 to rotate ten times, the second gear 6 drives the first gear 4 to rotate one time. A timer 7 is electrically connected to the outside of the motor 5. By setting the delay time of the timer 7, when the timer 7 reaches the set time, The output signal is transmitted to the motor 5, which stops the motor 5 from rotating, thereby controlling the number of rotations of the motor 5, and then controlling the number of rotations and angle of the first gear 4, thereby controlling the angle and number of rotations of the shelf body 1, so that the shelf body 1 can rotate according to the preset requirements, making it convenient for users to store and retrieve items efficiently and conveniently, improving the user experience and convenience. The inner wall of the base 2 is fixedly installed with a backup power supply 8 on one side of the motor 5. The backup power supply 8 is electrically connected to the motor 5. The bottom of the shelf body 1 is fixedly installed with a rotating seat 9. Several sets of ball bearings 10 are installed inside the base 2.

[0024] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the bottom end of the rotating seat 9 is provided with an arc-shaped groove and the radius of the arc-shaped groove is the same as the radius of the ball 10. The inner wall of the arc-shaped groove at the bottom end of the rotating seat 9 is in contact with the outer surface of the ball 10, and the depth of the arc-shaped groove is the radius of the ball 10. This allows the rotating seat 9 to be in close contact with the outer surface of the ball 10 through the arc-shaped groove, thereby enabling the shelf body 1 to rotate smoothly on the base 2.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, four sets of fixing blocks 12 are symmetrically fixed inside the base 2. Each of the four sets of fixing blocks 12 is rotatably connected to a screw 13. The outer surface of the screw 13 is connected to a slider 14 by a thread. The slider 14 has protrusions integrally formed on both sides. The base 2 has sliding grooves on the outer side of the protrusions of the slider 14. When the screw 13 is rotated, the slider 14 is driven to move along the groove towards or away from the rotating seat 9 through the threaded connection, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the slider 14.

[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a pressing block 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the slider 14 away from the fixed block 12. The end face of the pressing block 15 away from the slider 14 is set as arc. A groove 11 is opened inside the rotating seat 9. The shape of the groove 11 is set as circle. The radius of the arc surface of the slider 14 is equal to the radius of the groove 11, and the arc surface of the slider 14 and the opposite surface of the groove 11 are in contact with each other. By controlling the slider 14 to move closer to the rotating seat 9, the pressing block 15 is driven to move, so that the arc surface of the pressing block 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the groove 11, and the upper and lower outer surfaces of the pressing block 15 are also in contact with the inner wall of the groove 11. This can effectively position the rotating seat 9 and maintain its rotational stability, prevent the shelf body 1 from shaking when rotating, avoid the items falling out of the shelf body 1, and improve the safety of storing and retrieving items.

[0027] Working principle: When using this device, the delay time of timer 7 is preset to control the number of rotations of motor 5. The gear ratio of the first gear 4 to the second gear 6 is 10 / 1. Based on the number of rotations of the second gear 6 driven by motor 5, the number of rotations and angle of the first gear 4 are ensured, thereby adjusting the number of rotations and angle of the shelf body 1. This facilitates efficient and quick access to items, improving user experience and convenience. Before controlling the rotation of the shelf body 1, the user rotates screw 13 to move slider 14 closer to rotating seat 9 through threaded connection. This causes the arc-shaped surface of the pressing block 15 to fit against the inner wall of the slide groove 11, and the upper and lower outer surfaces of the pressing block 15 are both in contact with the upper and lower inner walls of the slide groove 11. This allows rotating seat 9 to rotate and drive the shelf body 1 to rotate, thus positioning rotating seat 9 and maintaining its rotational stability. This prevents shaking during the rotation of the shelf body 1, ensuring that items stored inside the shelf body 1 will not fall out, and improving the safety of item access.

[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
