In order to reduce product defect rate and save cost, these defective products usually adopt repair processes such as polishing, polishing and paint repair, so as to be converted into good products for re-use.

[0003] However, the repaired automobile charging port end cover faces storage problems in the subsequent processing process. On the one hand, its surface design is usually smooth, without open holes or protruding structures for hanging, so it cannot adopt conventional storage methods such as hooks and hangers; on the other hand, if placed randomly, it is easy to scratch each other, damage the just repaired paint surface, and may also cause uneven contact to lead to inconsistent paint drying speed, affecting the quality of the final product. Moreover, once the paint drying process appears problems such as adhesion and indentation, it will have to be reworked, further increasing production cost and time consumption.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a storage rack specially designed for the characteristics of the automobile charging port end cover, which can properly fix the end cover and prevent the paint surface from being damaged, and also meet the ventilation and stable placement requirements during the paint drying process. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] In view of the above shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an automobile accessory storage rack, which aims to properly fix the automobile charging port end cover by magnetic attraction, prevent the paint surface from being damaged, and meet the ventilation requirements during the paint drying process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model provides a kind of automobile accessory storage rack, to make the purpose, technical scheme and effect of the utility model more clear, definite, the following referring to drawing and taking example to the utility model further detailed explanation.It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 The utility model provides a kind of automobile accessory storage rack, including U-shaped upper beam 21, the U-shaped bottom beam 22 being arranged below U-shaped upper beam 21, four vertical beams 23 being connected U-shaped upper beam 21 and U-shaped bottom beam 22;The front mounting area 41, left mounting area 42 and right mounting area 43 are formed between the U-shaped upper beam 21 and the U-shaped bottom beam 22;Multiple magnetic rods 51 for magnetic attraction automobile accessories are arranged in the front mounting area 41, left mounting area 42 and right mounting area 43;The bottom of the U-shaped bottom beam 22 is equipped with castor 6, the automobile accessory storage rack is equipped with outer magnetic storage area 71 and inner magnetic storage area 72, and the walking channel 73 for entering inner magnetic storage area 72 is formed in the opening of U-shaped upper beam 21 and U-shaped bottom beam 22.

[0024] Since the end cap 1 of the car charging port is mostly made of metal (or contains magnetically attached components), when the back of the end cap 1 is placed near the corresponding installation area, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic rod 51 can firmly attract the back of the end cap 1, making it stably fixed on the storage rack. Even under conditions such as handling or slight vibration, the end cap 1 will not easily fall off or shift, effectively solving the problem of its smooth surface and lack of suspension structure making it difficult to fix in a conventional manner. After being touched up with paint, the end cap 1 of the car charging port can be placed in the outer magnetic storage area 71 or enter the inner magnetic storage area 72 through the walking channel 73, greatly increasing the storage capacity per unit area of ​​the storage rack.

[0025] The automotive parts storage rack provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] 1. The car charging port end cap 1 is fixed by magnetic rod 51, which abandons the traditional suspension and stacking method. This avoids damage to the paint surface caused by scratching by hooks and mutual squeezing and friction of stacking, ensuring that the repaired paint surface is intact. It greatly reduces the probability of rework due to secondary damage to the paint surface and effectively saves production costs and time.

[0027] 2. The storage rack has two storage areas: an outer magnetic storage area 71 and an inner magnetic storage area 72. It makes full use of the internal and external space of the storage rack and can store a large number of automotive charging port end caps 1 at the same time. Compared with random stacking, the storage is not only more organized and orderly, but also makes it easier for staff to quickly identify and find end caps 1 of different batches or states, thus improving the efficiency of parts storage and management in the entire production process.

[0028] 3. The casters 6 provide mobility to the storage rack, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with various stages of the new energy vehicle manufacturing process, such as from the repair station to the inspection area and then to the packaging area. This reduces the distance and intensity of manual handling, achieves seamless connection, optimizes the production process, and improves production synergy. The casters 6 also feature brakes to ensure stable parking and prevent unauthorized movement.

[0029] 4. This open frame structure, consisting of a U-shaped upper beam 21, a U-shaped lower beam 22, and vertical beams 23, allows air to circulate freely within the storage rack. When the repaired car charging port end cap 1 is placed on the storage rack, air can flow around the end cap 1 from all directions, accelerating air exchange during the paint drying process, ensuring uniform paint drying, and avoiding problems such as inconsistent paint drying speed or adhesion and marks caused by poor ventilation.

[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 1As shown, the magnetic rods 51 in the front mounting area 41, left mounting area 42, and right mounting area 43 are all vertically extended and spaced apart. The two ends of each magnetic rod 51 are connected to the C-shaped upper beam 21 and the C-shaped lower beam 22, respectively. The vertical extension of the magnetic rods 51 is designed to fit the characteristics of the automotive charging port end cover 1. Since the end cover 1 is typically flat and has a smooth surface, the magnetic field generated by the vertically arranged magnetic rods 51 can uniformly cover the end cover 1 along its height, ensuring that all parts of the end cover 1 are subjected to stable and sufficiently strong magnetic attraction regardless of its orientation when approaching the storage rack. This omnidirectional magnetic attraction effectively prevents the end cover 1 from shaking, shifting, or even falling off during storage due to uneven force, providing a reliable fixing effect for automotive parts and greatly reducing the risk of product damage due to improper storage.

[0031] Because the magnetic rods 51 are arranged at intervals in each installation area, when the storage rack is placed in the workshop environment, external natural air can smoothly enter the storage rack through the gaps between the magnetic rods 51, creating a natural ventilation effect. For the repaired car charging port end cap 1, good ventilation is one of the key factors for paint drying. Continuous air circulation can promptly remove the solvents that evaporate from the paint, accelerating the curing process and preventing quality problems such as uneven color, adhesion, and marks caused by solvent residue. At the same time, uniform ventilation can also ensure a consistent paint drying speed, making the overall paint quality of the end cap 1 more stable and reliable, effectively improving the product yield.

[0032] Another implementation method is described in [link to implementation]. Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic rods 51 in the front mounting area 41, left mounting area 42, and right mounting area 43 all extend laterally and are arranged vertically at intervals. The two ends of each magnetic rod 51 are connected to two adjacent vertical beams 23. Since the automotive charging port end cap 1 is typically flat, the laterally extending magnetic rods 51 can precisely apply magnetic force along the lateral dimension of the end cap 1. The laterally extending and vertically spaced magnetic rods 51 provide a wider and more uniform magnetic attraction coverage in the horizontal direction. For accessories like the automotive charging port end cap 1, which have relatively smooth surfaces and no specific suspension structure, the laterally extending magnetic rods 51 ensure stable magnetic attraction from different parts of the end cap 1, effectively preventing the end cap 1 from tilting, shaking, or even falling off on the storage rack, ensuring its stable fixation.

[0033] This connection method facilitates quick positioning and fixing of the magnetic rod 51 during storage rack assembly, reducing production assembly costs and difficulty, and improving production efficiency. Later maintenance or replacement of the magnetic rod 51 is also convenient, requiring no complex disassembly process; only the connection point with the vertical beam 23 needs to be removed, reducing equipment maintenance time and manpower.

[0034] In this embodiment, seeFigure 3 As shown, the magnetic rod 51 has a square cross-section and its outer surface is wrapped with a rubber sleeve 52. The square cross-section of the magnetic rod 51 and its flat sides optimize the contact method with the car charging port end cap 1 compared to a circular magnetic rod 51. When the end cap 1 approaches, the flat surface can form a larger area of ​​close contact with the surface of the end cap 1, resulting in a more uniform and concentrated magnetic force distribution, greatly enhancing the stability of the magnetic attraction. Under normal workshop handling and slight vibration conditions, the end cap 1 can firmly adhere to the vicinity of the magnetic rod 51, preventing shaking or displacement, effectively reducing the risk of collisions and paint scratches caused by component movement, and providing reliable storage protection for the end cap 1.

[0035] The rubber sleeve 52 protects the magnetic rod 51 from external environmental corrosion, extending the service life of the magnetic rod 51. On the other hand, if the rubber sleeve 52 is worn or dirty, the good performance of the magnetic rod 51 can be restored simply by replacing the rubber sleeve 52, without the need for complicated repair or replacement of the entire magnetic rod 51, thus reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

[0036] Preferably, the opening of the U-shaped upper beam 21 is provided with an arched reinforcing beam 8. Through a reasonable arched profile design, the arched reinforcing beam 8 cleverly provides a safe space for the workers' heads without affecting the structural strength of the storage rack, effectively eliminating potential head-bumping hazards and ensuring that workers can work safely and efficiently.

[0037] Preferably, the arched reinforcing beam 8 is equipped with a light 91 for illuminating the inner magnetic storage area 72. The light 91 greatly facilitates workers' access to and operation within the inner magnetic storage area 72. In dimly lit workshop environments, or during periods of insufficient natural light such as early morning or evening, the light 91 provides ample and focused illumination, allowing workers to clearly see the storage location and condition details of the car charging port end cap 1 within the inner magnetic storage area 72. This enables precise retrieval and placement of accessories, avoiding misoperation due to dim lighting and effectively improving work accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, the illumination from the light 91 helps workers to inspect the paint surface closely and comprehensively for defects, marks, or uneven drying. In the initial stage after the end cap 1 is repaired and placed in the storage rack, workers can use the light to promptly identify minor paint defects, allowing for quick remedial measures such as re-sanding or touch-up painting. This prevents further deterioration, ensuring the final end cap 1 has a flawless paint finish, improving overall product quality, and reducing rework costs due to paint issues.

[0038] The side of the C-shaped upper beam 21 is provided with multiple identification plates 92 corresponding to the divided storage areas. It can be understood that, based on the structure of the storage rack and the inner magnetic storage area 72 and outer magnetic storage area 71, it is further subdivided into front inner magnetic storage area 72, left inner magnetic storage area 72, right inner magnetic storage area 72, front outer magnetic storage area 71, left outer magnetic storage area 71, and right outer magnetic storage area 71. The identification plates 92 are used to indicate the model, batch, production date, drying time, and other information of the car charging port end cap 1 stored in the storage area, so as to facilitate workers to quickly identify and manage it.

[0039] Preferably, handles 93 are provided on the two rear vertical beams 23. Workers can easily move the storage rack by standing behind it and holding the handles 93 with both hands, eliminating the need for laborious searching for leverage points or multiple people working together to move it, as was previously required. This convenient operation method is particularly beneficial in production workshops where the storage rack position frequently needs to be adjusted, such as when moving between different areas like repair stations, ventilated drying areas, and quality inspection areas. It significantly reduces the time and physical effort required for operation, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows for communication; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.
