Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of winding reel storage devices, and more specifically, to a winding reel storage cage. Background Technology

[0002] A winding reel storage cage is a device used to store winding reels. Currently, the winding reel storage cages on the market include a base and four side frames distributed circumferentially around the base. The four side frames are connected end to end and fixed to form a frame structure, and the lower ends of the four side frames are fixed to the base. After the four side frames are fixed to the base, a cage-like structure with an open top can be formed. However, in the above-mentioned winding reel storage cage structure, the winding reel storage cage cannot be folded when it is not in use, which has the disadvantage of occupying a lot of space. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a winding reel storage cage that can not only realize the normal storage of winding reels, but also be folded and stored, thereby reducing the space occupied by the winding reel storage cage when stored.

[0004] This utility model provides a winding reel storage cage, including a chassis, two front-to-back symmetrical first side frames, and two left-to-right symmetrical second side frames; the two first side frames are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the chassis, and are vertically slidably connected to the chassis and can be rotated and folded inward relative to the chassis; the two second side frames are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the chassis, and are rotatably connected to the chassis and can be rotated outward or folded inward relative to the chassis; when both the two first side frames and the two second side frames are rotated to the vertical position, the two second side frames are locked to the two first side frames and cooperate with the chassis to form a cage-like structure for storing winding reels.

[0005] By adopting the above-described structure, when both the first side frames and the two second side frames are rotated to a vertical position, the two second side frames lock together with the two first side frames and cooperate with the chassis to form a cage-like structure for storing the winding reel. In this state, the winding reel storage cage can achieve normal storage of the winding reel. When both the second side frames and the two first side frames are rotated and folded inward relative to the chassis, the winding reel storage cage can be folded and stored, thereby reducing the space occupied by the winding reel storage cage when stored.

[0006] In one possible implementation, each first side frame is connected to the chassis by two symmetrically arranged connectors. Each connector is a frame-shaped structure with an open top and inner side. The lower end of each connector is fixed to the chassis. The lower ends of the vertical rods located at both ends of each first side frame are inserted into the inner side of the corresponding connector and slide vertically and rotate with the connector. With this structure, the first side frame can be reliably slidably connected to the chassis vertically and can rotate and fold inward relative to the chassis due to the cooperation between the connectors and the vertical rods, and because each connector is a frame-shaped structure with an open top and inner side.

[0007] In one possible implementation, each connector has an elongated hole extending from bottom to top on both its left and right side walls. The lower end of each vertical rod is vertically slidably and rotatably connected to the connector via a pivot that passes through two elongated holes on the vertical rod and the corresponding connector. With this structure, the pivot can rotate within the elongated hole under the cooperation of the pivot and the elongated hole, and the pivot can move vertically relative to the chassis along the elongated hole. This allows the first side frame to be reliably vertically slidably connected to the chassis and to fold inward relative to the chassis. In addition, the pivot passes through the lower end of the vertical rod and is welded to the vertical rod. Both ends of the pivot pass through two elongated holes on the corresponding connector.

[0008] In one possible implementation, stacking feet are fixed at the bottom of each of the four corners of the chassis. When the two first side frames are rotated to a vertical position, the four stacking feet are respectively used to fit and support the upper end of one of the vertical rods. When the two second side frames and the two first side frames are rotated and folded inward relative to the chassis, the four stacking feet are respectively used to fit and support the upper end of one of the connectors. With this structure, when the winding reel storage cage is in normal use, multiple winding reel storage cages can be stacked by fitting the stacking feet with the upper end of the vertical rod. That is, the stacking feet at the bottom of the upper winding reel storage cage can fit and support the upper end of the vertical rod in the lower winding reel storage cage, thereby enabling the stacking of winding reel storage cages. This reduces the floor space occupied by multiple winding reel storage cages, and each winding reel storage cage can store winding reels.

[0009] In one possible implementation, two symmetrical "U"-shaped retaining brackets are fixed to the bottom of both the front and rear sides of the chassis. Each retaining bracket and the lower end of the chassis form an insertion hole for the forklift's forks. The retaining brackets on the front and rear sides of the chassis are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. With this structure, when transporting the winding coil storage cage, the two forks of the forklift can be inserted into the corresponding insertion holes, that is, the two forks of the forklift can be limited inside the retaining brackets. This improves the stability of the forklift when lifting the winding coil storage cage, preventing the winding coil storage cage from slipping off the forklift's forks and eliminating safety hazards.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the upper end of the chassis is fixed with several first track groups distributed from front to back. Each first track group includes two first tracks distributed at intervals. The two first tracks in each first track group are respectively used to engage with and support the outer edges of the winding reel at both ends in the axial direction. With this structure, under the action of the first track groups, when the winding reel is rolled to the inside of the winding reel storage cage, the outer edges of the two ends in the axial direction of the winding reel can be engaged with the two first tracks in the corresponding first track groups, thereby achieving axial positioning of the winding reel. The winding reel can roll along the length direction of the first track, thus guiding the rolling of the winding reel.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a second track group corresponding to several first track groups is fixed to the inner side of one of the second side frames. Each second track group includes two second tracks distributed at a distance from front to back. The two second tracks in each second track group are respectively used to fit into and support the outer edges of the two ends of the winding reel in the axial direction. With this structure, when the second side frame with the second track group rotates outward relative to the chassis, the winding reel located in the winding reel storage cage can roll out of the winding reel storage cage along the first and second tracks, or the winding reel can roll into the winding reel storage cage along the second and first tracks. When the winding reel rolls along the second track, the second track can achieve axial positioning of the winding reel and guide the rolling of the winding reel. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0019] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0020] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] See Figure 1-5As shown in the figure, this application discloses a winding reel storage cage, including a chassis 1, two front-to-back symmetrical first side frames 2, and two left-to-right symmetrical second side frames 3; the two first side frames 2 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the chassis 1, and the two first side frames 2 are vertically slidably connected to the chassis 1 and can be rotated and folded inward relative to the chassis 1; the two second side frames 3 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the chassis 1, and the two second side frames 3 are rotatably connected to the chassis 1 and can be rotated outward or folded inward relative to the chassis 1; when both the two first side frames 2 and the two second side frames 3 are rotated to the vertical state, the two second side frames 3 and the two first side frames 2 are locked together and cooperate with the chassis 1 to form a cage-like structure for storing winding reels 4; in the above structure, when both the two first side frames and the two second side frames are rotated to the vertical state, the second side frames are locked with the adjacent first side frames by a pin assembly, which is an existing device or component on the market and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] Each first side frame 2 is connected to the chassis 1 by two connectors 5 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. Each connector 5 is a frame structure with an open top and inner side. The lower end of each connector 5 is fixed to the chassis 1. The lower ends of the vertical rods 21 located at both ends of each first side frame 2 are inserted into the inner side of the corresponding connector 5 and are vertically slidable and rotatably connected with the connector 5. With this structure, under the cooperation of the connectors and the vertical rods, and because each connector is a frame structure with an open top and inner side, the first side frame can be reliably vertically slidably connected to the chassis and can be rotated and folded inward relative to the chassis.

[0023] Each connector 5 has an elongated hole 51 extending from bottom to top on both its left and right side walls. The lower end of each vertical rod 21 is vertically slidably and rotatably connected to the connector 5 through a pivot that passes through the two elongated holes 51 on the vertical rod 21 and the corresponding connector 5. With this structure, the pivot can rotate in the elongated hole under the cooperation of the pivot and the elongated hole, and the pivot can move vertically relative to the chassis along the elongated hole. This allows the first side frame to be reliably vertically slidably connected to the chassis and can be folded inward relative to the chassis. In addition, the pivot passes through the lower end of the vertical rod and is welded to the vertical rod. The two ends of the pivot pass through the two elongated holes on the corresponding connector.

[0024] Stacking feet 6 are fixed at the bottom of each of the four corners of the chassis 1. When the two first side frames 2 are rotated to the vertical position, the four stacking feet 6 are respectively used to fit and support the upper end of one of the vertical rods 21. When the two second side frames 3 and the two first side frames 2 are rotated and folded inward relative to the chassis 1, the four stacking feet 6 are respectively used to fit and support the upper end of one of the connecting parts 5. With this structure, when the winding reel storage cage is in normal use, multiple winding reel storage cages can be stacked by fitting the stacking feet with the upper end of the vertical rod. That is, the bottom of the upper winding reel storage cage is stacked. The stacking feet can be fitted onto and supported on the upper end of the vertical rod in the lower winding spool storage cage, thereby enabling the stacking of the winding spool storage cages and reducing the floor space occupied by multiple winding spool storage cages. Each winding spool storage cage can store winding spools. When the winding spool storage cage is folded and stored, the stacking feet at the bottom of the upper winding spool storage cage can be fitted onto and supported on the upper end of the connector in the lower winding spool storage cage, thereby enabling the stacking of the folded winding spool storage cages and reducing the floor space occupied by multiple folded winding spool storage cages.

[0025] Two symmetrical "U"-shaped limiting frames 7 are fixed to the bottom of the front and rear sides of the chassis 1. Each limiting frame 7 and the lower end of the chassis 1 form an insertion hole 71 for the forklift's forks to insert. The limiting frame 7 on the front side of the chassis 1 and the limiting frame on the rear side of the chassis 1 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. With this structure, when the winding coil storage cage is being transported, the two forks of the forklift can be inserted into the corresponding insertion holes, that is, the two forks of the forklift can be limited to the inside of the limiting frame. This improves the stability of the forklift when lifting the winding coil storage cage, and prevents the winding coil storage cage from slipping off the forklift's forks, thus eliminating safety hazards.

[0026] The upper end of the chassis 1 is fixed with several first track groups 8 distributed from front to back. Each first track group 8 includes two first tracks 81 distributed at intervals. The two first tracks 81 in each first track group 8 are respectively used to engage with the outer edges of the two ends of the winding reel 4 in the axial direction and support the winding reel 4. With this structure, under the action of the first track group, when the winding reel is rolled to the inside of the winding reel storage cage, the outer edges of the two ends of the winding reel in the axial direction can be engaged with the two first tracks in the corresponding first track group, thereby achieving axial positioning of the winding reel and enabling the winding reel to roll along the length direction of the first track, thus guiding the rolling of the winding reel.

[0027] One of the second side frames 3 has a second track group 9 fixed on its inner side, which corresponds one-to-one with several first track groups 8. Each second track group 9 includes two second tracks 91 distributed at intervals. The two second tracks 91 in each second track group 9 are used to fit into and support the outer edges of the winding reel 4 at both ends in the axial direction. With this structure, when the second side frame with the second track group rotates outward relative to the chassis, the winding reel located in the winding reel storage cage can roll out of the winding reel storage cage along the first track and the second track, or the winding reel can roll into the winding reel storage cage along the second track and the first track. When the winding reel rolls along the second track, the second track can limit the axial movement of the winding reel and guide the rolling of the winding reel.

[0028] See you again Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of two stacked winding reel storage cages, based on... Figure 3 It is known that when two winding spool storage cages containing winding spools are stacked, the stacking feet at the bottom of the upper winding spool storage cage can be fitted onto and supported on the upper end of the vertical rod in the lower winding spool storage cage, thereby enabling the stacking of winding spool storage cages, which can reduce the floor space occupied by multiple winding spool storage cages, and each winding spool storage cage can store winding spools.

[0029] See you again Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of two stacked, folded wire reel storage cages. Figure 5 It is known that after the second side frame and the first side frame in each winding coil storage cage are rotated and folded inward relative to the chassis, and when two winding coil storage cages in the folded state are stacked, the stacking feet at the bottom of the upper winding coil storage cage can be sleeved and supported on the upper end of the connector in the lower winding coil storage cage, thereby enabling the stacking of the winding coil storage cages in the folded state, and thus reducing the floor space occupied by multiple winding coil storage cages in the folded state.

[0030] In addition, when folding the winding reel storage cage, first rotate the two second side frames inward relative to the base and fold them. Then pull each first side frame upward and finally rotate the first side frame inward relative to the base and fold it. Since the first side frame can slide upward relative to the base and rotate inward relative to the base, interference with the second side frame in the folded state can be effectively avoided when the first side frame is folded.

[0031] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
