Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer equipment technology, specifically to a transfer tray for shock-absorbing tower blanks. Background Technology

[0002] The shock absorber towers are an important component of the car's body structure, located at the front of the vehicle, near the front wheels. The left and right shock absorber towers are located on the left and right sides of the vehicle, respectively. Their main function is to support and secure the suspension system, and to transmit and disperse impact forces from the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's handling and driving stability.

[0003] Currently, when transporting the left and right shock absorber towers, each tower is equipped with a separate transport tray. This method of transport has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Large production space occupation: Due to the need to store two types of transfer trays, the space utilization rate of the production site is low, resulting in an increase in the area occupied, which affects production efficiency and the smoothness of the workflow.

[0005] 2. Increased equipment costs: Equipping the left and right shock absorber towers with separate transfer trays not only increases procurement costs but also involves subsequent maintenance and management expenses, resulting in a significant increase in overall equipment costs.

[0006] 3. Increased workload in transportation and management: The left and right shock absorber towers need to be transported separately, increasing the number of handling operations and time during the transportation process. Different sizes of transfer trays need to be stored and managed separately, which also increases the complexity of management. In addition, each transportation requires identifying and distinguishing between the left and right shock absorber towers and their corresponding transfer trays, which not only increases the difficulty of operation but may also lead to misuse or confusion, increasing the probability of errors and the difficulty of work, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a transfer tray for shock absorber tower blanks to solve the problems of large site occupation, high cost, and large workload of transfer and management caused by the separate transfer of the left and right shock absorber towers in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] The shock absorber tower blank transfer tray includes a middle support, on which a row of left shock absorber tower placement slots are provided, and a row of right shock absorber tower placement slots are provided side by side on one side of the left shock absorber tower placement slots. The number of left shock absorber tower placement slots and the number of right shock absorber tower placement slots are the same, and the row of left shock absorber tower placement slots and the row of right shock absorber tower placement slots are staggered in the horizontal direction.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the number of middle trays shown is multiple, and the multiple middle trays can be stacked. The stacking includes forward stacking and horizontal rotation after 180 degrees. When the middle trays are stacked forward, the bottom of the left shock absorber tower placement groove of the upper middle tray is inserted into the left shock absorber tower placement groove of the lower middle tray. When the middle trays are stacked after horizontal rotation after 180 degrees, the bottom of the upper middle tray abuts against the top of the lower middle tray.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, it also includes a base support, the bottom of the middle support is provided with an outward connecting protrusion, the top of the base support has a protrusion slot for connecting with the connecting protrusion, and the base support has a forklift connection channel for connecting with a forklift.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, a groove is provided at one end edge of the row of left shock absorber tower placement slots shown.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, a groove is also provided on one end edge of the row of right shock absorber tower placement slots shown.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, when the middle trays are placed in a forward-facing overlapping manner, a clearance gap is left between the bottom of the upper middle tray and the part.

[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, the clearance is 5 mm.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, when the part is placed in the left damper tower placement slot and the right damper tower placement slot, a part removal gap is left between the part and the inner wall of the middle support.

[0017] Preferably, as an improvement, the part-taking gap is 2 mm.

[0018] Preferably, as an improvement, a directional reminder mark is provided at one end of the row of left shock absorber tower placement slots.

[0019] The principles and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows:

[0020] 1. This solution's central tray can simultaneously store both left and right shock absorber towers, enabling paired placement and transport of these towers. Only one type of transport tray is required, saving equipment costs. Furthermore, the production area only needs to stack one type of transport tray, conserving production space. In addition, the paired placement and transport of the left and right shock absorber towers eliminates the need for identification and differentiation, reducing workload, error rates, and operational difficulty, thus improving ease of operation and product management.

[0021] 2. This solution allows for both individual and overlapping placement, with two overlapping methods for convenient and flexible use. One method is a direct overlap, where the upper and lower trays are aligned and directly overlapped. In this method, the bottom of the left shock absorber slot of the upper tray directly engages with the left shock absorber slot of the lower tray, allowing for complete overlap of the trays. The vertical length after overlapping is short, facilitating storage and retrieval. The other method involves rotating the trays horizontally 180 degrees before overlapping. This method is used for product placement; when overlapping, the bottom of the upper tray abuts against the top of the lower tray, leaving sufficient space between the two trays to place the product without compressing it.

[0022] 3. When the middle tray of this solution is overlapped using the second overlapping method, a 5mm clearance is provided between the bottom of the upper middle tray and the part. This effectively prevents the product from being squeezed and avoids product damage. If the clearance is less than 5mm, the product may be crushed; if the clearance is greater than 5mm, the overall height of the middle tray will increase, wasting materials and space.

[0023] 4. To facilitate the separation of the overlapping middle supports, this solution also provides grooves on the edges of the left and right shock absorber tower placement slots. When necessary, tools can be inserted into the grooves to pry the middle supports apart.

[0024] 5. To facilitate the use of the two overlapping methods, this solution also sets directional reminder marks on the middle tray. When the directional reminder marks of the two middle trays are facing the same direction, the middle tray is in the upright position, and the overlap is the first overlapping. Otherwise, it is the second overlapping method. This makes it convenient for operators to quickly overlap the middle trays as needed, and it is easy to use.

[0025] 6. In this solution, when the product is placed in the left and right shock absorber placement slots, a 2mm gap is left between the product and the inner wall of the middle support, which facilitates the removal of the product and improves the product transfer efficiency.

[0026] 7. This solution also includes a base tray. When it is necessary to use a forklift to transfer overlapping intermediate trays, the intermediate trays can be connected to the base tray by inserting the connecting protrusion on the bottom intermediate tray into the protrusion slot on the base tray. Then, the forklift can be inserted into the forklift connection channel on the base tray to transfer the base tray together with the overlapping intermediate trays, which is convenient.

[0027] 8. The left and right damper tower placement slots are arranged in a row and staggered. The distance from the right end of the left damper tower placement slot to the edge of the central support is greater than that of the right damper tower placement slot. At the same time, the distance from the left end of the left damper tower placement slot to the edge of the central support is less than that of the right damper tower placement slot. Compared with the two rows of placement slots being aligned at the ends, this staggered arrangement can make the entire central support bear the force evenly and improve the structural strength of the central support.

[0035] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0036] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: left shock absorber tower 1, right shock absorber tower 2, center support 3, left shock absorber tower placement slot 4, right shock absorber tower placement slot 5, direction reminder mark 6, connecting protrusion 7, groove 8, bottom support 9, forklift connection lane 10.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the shock absorber tower blank transfer tray includes a central support 3. A row of left shock absorber tower placement slots 4 is formed on the central support 3, and a row of right shock absorber tower placement slots 5 is formed side-by-side on one side of the left shock absorber tower placement slots 4. The left and right shock absorber tower placement slots 4 and 5 are staggered horizontally, meaning the distance from the right end of the left shock absorber tower placement slot 4 to the edge of the central support 3 is greater than the distance from the right end of the right shock absorber tower placement slot 5 to the edge of the central support 3, while the distance from the left end of the left shock absorber tower placement slot 4 to the edge of the central support 3 is less than the distance from the left end of the right shock absorber tower placement slot 5 to the edge of the central support 3. The number of left shock absorber tower placement slots 4 and right shock absorber tower placement slots 5 is the same; in this embodiment, there are two of each. When a part is placed in the left and right shock absorber tower placement slots 4 and 5, a 2mm gap is left between the part and the inner wall of the central support 3.

[0039] There are multiple middle trays 3, which can be stacked. There are two stacking methods: upright stacking and stacking after rotating 180 degrees horizontally. When the middle trays 3 are stacked using the first method, combined with... Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the left shock absorber tower placement groove 4 of the upper middle support 3 is inserted into the left shock absorber tower placement groove 4 of the lower middle support 3. When the middle supports 3 are overlapped using the second overlapping method, combined with... Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the upper middle support 3 abuts against the top of the lower middle support 3. When the middle supports 3 are overlapped using the second overlapping method, a clearance of 5 mm is left between the bottom of the upper middle support 3 and the part to avoid squeezing the product. To facilitate differentiation of direction for overlapping, this embodiment has a directional reminder mark 6 formed on the right end of the left shock absorber tower placement groove 4. In this embodiment, the directional reminder mark 6 is formed directly using a material of a different color than the middle support 3.

[0040] How to use the shock absorber tower blank transfer tray:

[0041] Left shock absorber tower placement slot 4 is used for placement Figure 1 The left damping tower 1 and the right damping tower placement slot 5 shown are used for placing... Figure 2 As shown, the right shock absorber tower 2 and the middle support 3 can hold two left shock absorber towers 1 and two right shock absorber towers 2, realizing the pairing and transportation of the left and right shock absorber towers.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple trays 3 are stacked during transport. In this embodiment, three trays 3 are used as an example: the bottom tray 3 is placed with the direction indicator 6 on the right; the middle tray 3 is rotated 180 degrees and overlaps the bottom tray 3 with the direction indicator 6 on the left; the top tray 3 is then overlapped with the middle tray 3 with the direction indicator 6 on the right. When stacking, the bottom of the upper tray 3 abuts against the top of the lower tray 3, ensuring a 5mm clearance between the bottom of the upper tray 3 and the top of the product in the lower tray 3, preventing the product from being squeezed. It should be noted that in this stacking method, as long as the direction indicator 6 of adjacent trays 3 are not in the same direction, the specific position of the bottom tray 3 is not limited.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, when recycling the middle tray 3 instead of placing products, all the direction reminder marks 6 of the middle tray 3 are oriented in the same direction and then stacked. At this time, the bottom of the left shock-absorbing tower placement slot 4 of the upper layer of the middle tray 3 is inserted into the left shock-absorbing tower placement slot 4 of the lower layer of the middle tray 3, so that multiple middle trays 3 are completely overlapped. There is no need to leave space for placing products, which greatly reduces the height after stacking and makes recycling and storage convenient.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that it also includes a base support 9. The bottom of the middle support 3 is integrally formed with multiple connecting protrusions 7 protruding downwards. In this embodiment, there are three connecting protrusions 7. The top of the base support 9 has three protrusion slots (not shown in the figure) for connecting with the connecting protrusions 7. A forklift connection channel 10 is provided on the base support 9 for connecting with a forklift. One end edge of the left shock absorber tower placement slot 4 and one end edge of the right shock absorber tower placement slot 5 are both integrally formed with grooves 8. In actual use, a tool can be inserted into the groove 8 to pry open the middle support 3, thus easily separating tightly overlapping middle supports 3.

[0046] When it is necessary to use a forklift to transfer the overlapping middle pallets 3, the connecting protrusion 7 on the bottom middle pallet 3 is inserted into the protrusion slot on the bottom pallet 9 to connect the overlapping middle pallets 3 to the bottom pallet 9. Then, the forklift is inserted into the forklift connecting channel 10 on the bottom pallet 9 to transfer the bottom pallet 9 together with the overlapping middle pallets 3, which is convenient for transfer.
