[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the automotive powertrain support tooling storage rack includes a base 1, a side frame 2 fixedly connected to the base 1, a support frame 3 fixedly connected to the side frame 2, a support bar 4 provided on the support frame 3, and a slot 5 provided on the support bar 4.

[0022] The side frame 2 is perpendicular to the base 1, providing a connection point for the support frame 3. The support frame 3 supports the weight of the support fixture 9. The support bar 4 has multiple connection holes 7, allowing for detachable connection via bolts. Alternatively, the support bar 4 can be directly welded to the support frame 3. The slots 5 on the support bar 4 restrict the support fixture 9, ensuring its stable placement on the storage rack and preventing stacking, thus facilitating on-site management. The slots 5 are located at the top of the support bar 4, ensuring the support fixture 9 is placed vertically within them, preventing obstruction of the top or side surfaces marked with model specifications. This allows operators to quickly locate the required support fixture 9, further simplifying retrieval and improving production efficiency.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 3 is arranged in layers on the side frame 2, and the slots 5 are evenly spaced. The multi-layered support frame 3 divides the storage structure into multiple placement areas, which facilitates the classified placement of different models of support fixtures 9 and meets the placement requirements of support frames 3 of the same model and specification; each support frame 3 is provided with multiple slots 5, making full use of the placement space on the support frame 3.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the slot 5 has chamfers 8 at both ends. The chamfers 8 increase the size of the opening of the slot 5, making it easier for the support fixture 9 to be guided into the slot 5 along the chamfers 8 during placement, reducing the difficulty of alignment, improving placement efficiency, and also preventing scratches on the support fixture 9.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, support bars 4 are arranged in pairs on the support frame 3; a protrusion 6 is formed between adjacent slots 5, and the two ends of the support fixture 9 are respectively located in the slots 5 of a pair of support bars 4, with the protrusion 6 separating the support fixture 9. The paired support bars 4 provide two-point support for the support fixture 9, and the two sides of the slots 5 also constrain the support fixture 9, thus stabilizing the placed support fixture 9. When the support fixture 9 is placed, its two ends are placed in the slots 5 on a pair of support bars 4 to ensure stability. Due to the constraint of the pair of slots 5, the support fixture 9 will not tilt or fall over. The protrusion 6 formed between the slots 5 effectively separates the support fixtures, keeping them parallel to each other. The support fixture 9 will not collide with adjacent support fixtures 9 when stored or retrieved, making operation more convenient.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 has casters 11 at its bottom. The top of the side frame 2 is higher than the support frame 3 located at the top of the side frame 2, so that the top of the side frame 2 forms a handrail structure for the operator. The casters 11 make it convenient for the operator to move the storage rack to different workstations.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing support 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 3 and the side frame 2. Reinforcing rods 12 and reinforcing ribs 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the side frame 2, respectively. The reinforcing support 10 further strengthens the connection between the support frame 3 and the side frame 2. During production, the reinforcing support 10 can be preliminarily welded before welding the support frame 3, thus facilitating the horizontal installation of the support frame 3. The reinforcing rods 12 and reinforcing ribs 13 provide enhanced support to the side frame 2, helping to maintain its vertical posture and ensuring reliable stability.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 1, side frame 2, and support frame 3 are all constructed from welded square tubing. The main body of the storage rack uses square tubing welded into a frame structure, which is simple in structure, high in strength, easy to weld and form, and can reduce costs.

[0029] The operating method is as follows: When the support fixture 9 needs to be placed, according to the model and specifications of the current support fixture 9, place it on the support frame 3 of the corresponding layer. During placement, accurately place both ends of the support fixture 9 onto a pair of support bars 4, so that the support fixture 9 is restricted by the slots 5, thus ensuring proper placement. When placing in batches, prioritize placing it on the support bars 4 closest to the side frame 2 to reduce spatial interference. When retrieving, according to the required support fixture 9 model, locate the support frame 3 of the corresponding layer, and then specifically identify and retrieve the required support fixture 9.

[0030] This automotive powertrain support tooling storage rack, through the layered arrangement of the support frame 3 and the reasonable design of the slots 5, enables the stable placement of support tools 9 of the same model and specifications, facilitating production site management. It also ensures that the support tools 9 are in a vertical position after placement, making it easy for operators to identify and retrieve them, thus improving production efficiency. It makes full use of the storage rack space, ensuring that the placed support tools 9 do not interfere with or obstruct each other, resulting in high overall stability, simple manufacturing, and low cost.

[0031] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
