Detailed Implementation
[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 concept and technical solution of this utility model, and to facilitate its implementation.
[0021] It should be noted that in the following embodiments, the terms "first" and "second" do not represent an absolute distinction in structure and / or function, nor do they represent the order of execution, but are merely for the convenience of description.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides an automotive drive assembly rack, including a rack body 1 and multiple flip-over shelves. Each flip-over shelf has an upper positioning block 2 and a lower positioning block 3, with positioning grooves 4 on the upper and lower positioning blocks 2 and 3. The rack body 1 is equipped with a flipping mechanism for supporting the flip-over shelves. The flipping mechanism includes a flipping bracket connected to the flip-over shelf, a flipping limiting block 5 connected to the flipping bracket, and a flipping support 6 cooperating with the flipping limiting block 5. The flipping support 6 has a first limiting groove 7 and a second limiting groove 8. The first limiting groove 7 is configured to allow the flipping limiting block 5 to engage when the flip-over shelf is in a supported state, and the second limiting groove 8 is configured to allow the flipping limiting block 5 to engage when the flip-over shelf is in an avoidance state.
[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rack body 1 is a frame structure with a rectangular cavity for accommodating wheel hubs. The cavity has a rectangular opening on its top surface and one side, making it an open structure. An upper positioning block 2 and a lower positioning block 3 are fixedly installed on the flip-up shelf. The upper positioning block 2 is located above the lower positioning block 3, and their lengths are parallel to a first direction. The positioning grooves 4 on the upper and lower positioning blocks 2 and 3 are shaped to match the shapes of the automotive drive assembly components. These grooves allow the components to be embedded, thus positioning them. Multiple positioning grooves 4 are provided on the upper positioning block 2, arranged sequentially along its length. The upper positioning block 2 provides positioning and support for the automotive drive assembly components arranged on the upper layer. Multiple positioning slots 4 are also provided on the lower positioning block 3. All positioning slots 4 on the lower positioning block 3 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the upper positioning block 2. The lower positioning block 3 is used to apply pressure to the automotive drive assembly components arranged on the lower layer. Multiple flip-over grids are provided and arranged in multiple rows along the vertical direction. Two flip-over grids are arranged in the same row. The two flip-over grids in the same row together provide positioning and support for the multiple automotive drive assembly components arranged on the upper layer.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the flip-over shelves are configured to switch between a support state and a clearance state. When two flip-over shelves in the same row are in the clearance state, the distance between them is at its maximum, and the height is also at its highest. A channel is formed between the two flip-over shelves in the same row to allow automotive drive assembly components to pass through when loading or unloading materials from the lower layer. Rotating the flip-over shelves downwards switches them from the clearance state to the support state, where the distance between the two flip-over shelves in the same row is at its minimum, and the height is also at its lowest. Then, automotive drive assembly components are placed on the two flip-over shelves. The flipping mechanism can provide support for the flip-over shelves when they are in either the support or clearance state.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first limiting groove 7 and the second limiting groove 8 are through-type arranged on the flip support 6 along the thickness direction of the flip support 6. The flip support 6 is fixedly connected to the material rack body 1. The thickness direction of the flip support 6 is parallel to the first direction. The two flipping grids in the same row are parallel to the second direction. Both the first and second directions are horizontal and perpendicular to each other. The first limiting groove 7 is located above the second limiting groove 8 and the two are connected. The flipping limiting block 5 is a rectangular block structure, and the second limiting groove 8 is a rectangular groove. When the flipping grid is in the avoidance state, the flipping grid is located above the flipping support. The flipping limiting block 5 is embedded in the second limiting groove 8. The width of the second limiting groove 8 is approximately the same as the width of the flipping limiting block 5 and their width directions are parallel. The length of the second limiting groove 8 is greater than the length of the flipping limiting block and their length directions are parallel. The flipping support 6 prevents the flipping limiting block 5 from rotating, that is, it realizes the limiting of the flipping support, thereby ensuring that the flipping grid is kept in the avoidance state. The flipping support can stably provide reliable support for the flipping grid. The flip support 6, flip bracket, flip limit block 5, etc. can be made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials, such as steel. This makes the flip mechanism more durable and fatigue-resistant, less prone to damage, more reliable, and with relatively low maintenance costs.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first limiting groove 7 is an arc-shaped groove. This design allows the flipping limiting block 5 to rotate within a certain range. A stop block 9 is provided in the first limiting groove 7 to limit the movement of the flipping limiting block 5. The stop block 9 is located above the flipping limiting block 5 and is used to limit the movement range of the flipping limiting block 5. The inner surface of the first limiting groove 7 includes a first limiting surface, a first inner circular surface 12, and a second inner circular surface 13. Both the first inner circular surface 12 and the second inner circular surface 13 are arc surfaces and are coaxially arranged. The axes of the first inner circular surface 12 and the second inner circular surface 13 are parallel to the first direction. The stop block 9 is located between the first inner circular surface 12 and the second inner circular surface 13. The first limiting surface is located between the first inner circular surface 12 and the second limiting groove 8, and the second inner circular surface 13 is located between the stop block 9 and the second limiting groove 8. A second limiting surface is provided on the stop block 9 to contact the flipping limiting block 5. The first and second limiting surfaces are planes parallel to the first and second directions, respectively, and the height of the first limiting surface is less than the height of the second limiting surface. When the flipping grid is in the supported state, the flipping limiting block 5 is embedded in the first limiting groove 7, with the top surface of the flipping limiting block 5 in contact with the second limiting surface and the bottom surface of the flipping limiting block 5 in contact with the first limiting surface. At this time, the width direction of the flipping limiting block 5 is parallel to the second direction, and the flipping limiting block 5 is sandwiched between the first inner circular surface 12 and the second inner circular surface 13. The flipping support 6 prevents the flipping limiting block 5 from rotating, thus achieving the limiting of the flipping support and ensuring that the flipping grid remains in the supported state. The flipping support can stably provide reliable support for the flipping grid. When the flipping grid switches from the supported state to the avoidance state, the flipping limiting block 5 rotates in the first limiting groove 7 and slides directly from the first limiting groove 7 into the second limiting groove 8, making the operation simple.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flipping support includes a flipping rod 10. One end of the flipping rod 10 is fixedly connected to the upper positioning block 2 and the lower positioning block 3, and the other end of the flipping rod 10 is fixedly connected to the flipping limiting block 5. When the flipping grid is in the avoidance state, the flipping rod 10 is in an inclined state, and the upper end of the flipping rod 10 is fixedly connected to the flipping grid. Multiple flipping rods 10 are provided, and all flipping rods 10 connected to the same flipping grid are on the same straight line parallel to the first direction. Each flipping rod 10 is connected to a flipping limiting block 5. Multiple flipping supports 6 are provided, and the number of flipping supports 6 is the same as the number of flipping limiting blocks 5, providing good support stability.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the flipping bracket also includes a reinforcing rod 11 connected to the flipping rod 10. The reinforcing rod 11 is fixedly connected to multiple flipping rods 10. The length direction of the reinforcing rod 11 is parallel to the first direction. The setting of the reinforcing rod 11 can improve the overall structural strength of the flipping bracket and help improve the support stability of the flipping grid.
