[0026] Reference Figures 1-2 As shown in the drawings, the embodiment of the present utility model proposes a rack for storing workpieces including but not limited to sheet metal parts, the rack comprises a rack body 1 and a first position monitoring member 2, the rack body 1 has a plurality of storage layers along the height direction, and a plurality of first position monitoring members 2 corresponding to each storage layer are adjustably arranged on the rack body 1 along the height direction, and the first position monitoring member 2 is configured to sense the height of the transfer mechanism on the transfer device matched with the rack.
[0027] Different transfer devices have different pickup and placement methods, and when placing or taking workpieces on the same rack, the height of the transfer mechanism rises differently. The first position monitoring member 2 in the above-mentioned rack is adjustably arranged on the rack body 1, and the height of the first position monitoring member 2 on the rack body 1 can be adjusted according to different transfer devices, so that the transfer mechanism on the transfer device can accurately stop at the target height, and the pickup and placement of the workpiece can be completed. That is, by adjusting the height of the first position monitoring member 2, the rack can be adapted to different types of transfer devices. It can be understood that for the elevator, the transfer mechanism is a basket; for the stacker, the transfer mechanism is a loading platform; and for the forklift, the transfer mechanism is a fork arm. The first position monitoring member 2 can be a distance sensor or a baffle used in cooperation with a photoelectric switch, and is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the rack body 1 is provided with a sliding rail 16 extending along the height direction of the rack body 1, and the first position monitoring member 2 is slidingly arranged on the sliding rail 16. The stepless adjustment of the first position monitoring member 2 in the height direction of the rack body 1 is realized by sliding on the sliding rail 16. In order to improve the stability of the first position monitoring member 2 after position adjustment, the rack further comprises a positioning member, the positioning member is threadedly connected with the first position monitoring member 2, and by screwing the positioning member to tightly abut against the sliding rail 16, the first position monitoring member 2 can be fixed on the sliding rail 16. Of course, the first position monitoring member 2 can also be fixed on the sliding rail 16 by the cooperation of the nut and the stud.
[0029] Exemplarily, the sliding rail 16 is an aluminum profile.
[0030] Specifically, referring to Figure 1As shown, the material rack body 1 includes columns 11 and support beam assemblies. Four columns 11 are arranged in a rectangular pattern. Multiple support beam assemblies are spaced apart along the height direction to form multiple storage layers. Each support beam assembly includes beams along a second direction (…). Figure 1 Two support beams 12 are spaced apart in the Y direction (perpendicular to the material inlet / outlet rack), and the support beams 12 are along the first direction ( Figure 1 The material rack body 1 extends and is fixedly connected to two uprights 11 spaced apart along the first direction (X-direction, the direction of material loading and unloading from the rack). To improve the stability of the rack body 1, the rack body 1 also includes a series of crossbeams. Multiple crossbeams are spaced apart along the height direction on the uprights 11. Each crossbeam group includes two crossbeams 13 spaced apart along the first direction. The crossbeams 13 extend and are fixedly connected to the two uprights 11 spaced apart along the second direction. It should be emphasized that the number of crossbeam groups is less than the number of support beam groups to avoid interference of the crossbeams 13 with the handling of workpieces. For example, at least three crossbeam groups are provided, one of which is located below the bottom support beam group, another is located above the top support beam group, and at least one is located in the middle of the uprights 11.
[0031] Furthermore, the rack body 1 also includes diagonal braces 15, with at least two diagonal braces 15 arranged alternately. These braces connect to two uprights 11 spaced apart along the second direction, further improving the structural stability of the rack body 1.
[0032] Generally, the spacing between adjacent storage layers on a rack is fixed. If the spacing is too large, it easily wastes storage space; if the spacing is too small, it may not be able to accommodate workpieces of various heights and may also interfere with the workpiece handling of the transfer device. Based on this, in this embodiment, the spacing between adjacent storage layers in the rack is adjustable, corresponding to the support beam assembly, i.e., the height of the support beam 12 on the column 11 is adjustable. Specifically, one of the support beam 12 and the column 11 is provided with a strip-shaped hole extending along the height direction of the column 11, and the other of the support beam 12 and the column 11 is provided with a threaded hole. The support beam 12 and the column 11 are fixedly connected by fasteners passing through the strip-shaped hole and the threaded hole. By adjusting the position of the fasteners within the strip-shaped hole, the height of the support beam 12 relative to the column 11 can be adjusted.
[0033] To limit the movement of workpieces transferred onto the rack body 1, the rack body 1 includes a stop block 14 disposed on the support beam 12. Specifically, the stop block 14 is disposed on the side of the support beam 12 near the diagonal tie rod 15 to fully utilize the space on the support beam 12. Meanwhile, the cross-section of the support beam 12 is L-shaped, with two support beams 12 in the same support beam group symmetrically arranged along a second direction, and one end of the horizontally positioned support beam 12 extending towards the other support beam 12, thereby restricting the movement of the material tray 10 in the second direction.
[0034] In the embodiment, the rack further comprises second position monitoring members 3, and the rack top and the rack bottom are both provided with the second position monitoring members 3 which are in communication connection with the transfer device, and the second position monitoring members 3 are also configured to detect the height of the transfer mechanism of the transfer device. Specifically, the second position monitoring member 3 arranged at the rack top and the second position monitoring member 3 arranged at the rack bottom can respectively limit the highest height and the lowest height when the transfer mechanism is lifted, so as to reduce the invalid stroke of the transfer mechanism in the lifting process.
[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present application. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
