Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of warp beam storage technology, and in particular to a multi-layer warp beam storage rack. Background Technology
[0002] Warp beams are crucial components in the textile preparation process. They are wound with a large number of warp yarns and are fundamental to ensuring the smooth operation of subsequent weaving processes. In the textile processing industry, as enterprises expand their production scale, the number of looms and warp beams also increases. Placing warp beams on the workshop floor would significantly reduce the storage space for other equipment and materials, and a large number of warp beams on the floor is also unsightly. Therefore, adjusting the storage process for warp beams to reduce their footprint and improve storage and retrieval efficiency is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to reduce the floor space occupied by warp beam storage and improve the utilization rate of storage space, this application provides a multi-layer warp beam storage rack.
[0004] The multi-layer warp shaft storage rack provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A multi-layer warp beam storage rack includes a frame body. The frame body has a track connected end to end in a vertical plane. The track is fixedly connected to the frame body. A plurality of hanging rods are evenly and spaced on the track. The hanging rods are slidably connected to the track. The hanging rods are provided with connectors for connecting warp beams. The frame body is also provided with a drive assembly for driving all hanging rods to slide simultaneously along the track.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when storing warp beams, operators can use connectors to attach the warp beams to the hanging rods. Once a warp beam is hung on a hanging rod, the drive assembly drives all the hanging rods to slide on the track, moving the hanging rods with warp beams to other positions. At the same time, the hanging rods without warp beams move closer to the operator, waiting for subsequent warp beams to be stored. Thus, warp beams can be stored sequentially in different positions, making full use of vertical space to store warp beams, reducing the floor space occupied by warp beam storage, and improving the utilization rate of storage space.
[0007] Preferably, the frame includes a set of side frames facing each other, and one track is fixed on each side of the set of side frames that are close to each other. The two tracks are symmetrical to each other, and one end of the hanging rod slides in one track and the other end slides in the other track.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the two tracks are symmetrical to each other and are fixed on a set of opposite side frames. The two ends of the hanging rod slide within the two tracks respectively, providing double-sided support for the hanging rod. This reduces the possibility of tilting or swaying during the sliding process, ensuring the stability of the warp beam during storage and movement. At the same time, the symmetrical layout of the double-sided tracks can make the hanging rod more evenly stressed, reducing the wear of the tracks and hanging rods and extending the service life of the storage rack.
[0009] Preferably, the hanging rod is rotatably provided with rollers, which roll within a track.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rollers transform the sliding friction between the hanging rod and the track into rolling friction, resulting in less friction. This makes the sliding of the hanging rod within the track smoother, reducing the driving force required for the hanging rod to move and lowering the energy consumption of the drive components. Simultaneously, the lower friction also reduces wear on the track and rollers, further extending the service life of the storage rack.
[0011] Preferably, the track includes several horizontal sections that extend in the horizontal direction and are distributed at intervals in the height direction.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the warp beams are stored, the hanging rods on which the warp beams are hung are all located in the horizontal part. Since the horizontal part is set to extend in the horizontal direction, the hanging rods will not slide accidentally due to the weight of the warp beams. The horizontal part provides stable support for the warp beams, ensuring the reliability of the warp beams for long-term storage.
[0013] Preferably, the track includes a loading section, and the bottom end of the frame is provided with a loading platform, which can slide vertically, and the loading section is located directly above the loading platform.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the loading platform provides a working area for loading warp beams. The loading section is located directly above the loading platform, which can be raised and lowered, making it more convenient and faster for operators to connect the warp beams to the hanging rods. Operators can operate the warp beams directly on the loading platform and then hang them on the hanging rods located directly above the loading section, without having to run around frequently, reducing the labor intensity of operators and making the entire loading process more orderly.
[0015] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a chain, sprockets, and a power component. The chain is arranged along the track and connected end to end. Several sprockets are rotatably arranged on the frame. All the sprockets are engaged with the chain and together tighten the chain. All the hanging rods are fixedly connected to the chain. The power component is used to drive the sprockets to rotate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the power component drives the sprocket to rotate, the chain can drive all the hanging rods fixedly connected to the chain to slide along the track at the same time, ensuring the synchronous movement of all hanging rods and ensuring the orderly storage and movement of the shaft. The transmission method of the chain and sprocket has the characteristics of high transmission efficiency and smooth transmission. The chain can be bent to adapt to complex movement trajectories. Moreover, the structure of the chain and sprocket is relatively simple, easy to maintain and replace, and reduces the maintenance cost of the equipment.
[0017] Preferably, the power component includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the frame. The drive shaft of the motor is coaxially fixed with any sprocket, and the drive shaft of the motor can rotate in either the forward or reverse direction.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, depending on the location of the warp beam, the operator can drive the chain to rotate in the forward or reverse direction according to the principle of the shortest distance, so that the hanging rod with the required warp beam can reach the loading section more quickly.
[0019] Preferably, the connector is a rope loop, the top of which is fitted onto the hanging rod and rotates with it, and the bottom of which can be fitted onto the warp beam.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the rope sleeve rotates in conjunction with the hanging rod, allowing the warp beam to freely adjust its angle according to its own weight after being hung on the hanging rod, without requiring the hanging rod to rotate. This reduces the torque between the hanging rod and the chain, lowering the risk of damage to both. The bottom of the rope sleeve can be fitted onto the warp beam, making it convenient and quick for operators to easily hang or remove the warp beam from the hanging rod, improving the efficiency of warp beam storage and retrieval. Furthermore, the rope sleeve has a certain degree of flexibility, automatically adapting to the size of the warp beam.
[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0022] 1. By setting up a track, hanging rod, connector and drive assembly that are connected end to end, the vertical space is fully utilized to store warp beams, reducing the floor space occupied by the warp beams, improving the utilization rate of the storage space, and realizing an efficient way to store and retrieve warp beams.
[0023] 2. By setting several horizontal sections, a stable horizontal placement area is provided for the warp beam, ensuring its reliability during long-term storage and preventing the hanging rod from accidentally sliding due to the weight of the warp beam itself;
[0024] 3. By setting up a drive assembly consisting of chains, sprockets, and motors, and utilizing the high efficiency, smooth transmission, and simple structure of chains and sprockets, it is ensured that all hanging rods can move synchronously, thus guaranteeing the orderly storage and movement of warp shafts.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0030] This application discloses a multi-layer warp beam storage rack. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The system includes a frame 1, which is composed of a set of side frames 11, a rear frame 12, a top frame 14, a bottom frame 15, and a front frame 16. The side frames 11 are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the frame 1 in the width direction. The rear frame 12 is located at one end of the frame 1 in the length direction, the front frame 16 is located at the other end of the frame 1 in the length direction, the top frame 14 is located at the top of the frame 1, and the bottom frame 15 is located at the bottom of the frame 1. One side of each of the rear frame 12, top frame 14, bottom frame 15, and front frame 16 is fixedly connected to one of the side frames 11, and the other side of each of the rear frame 12, top frame 14, bottom frame 15, and front frame 16 is fixedly connected to the other side frame 11. An opening for storing or retrieving warp beams is provided at the lower part of the front frame 16 of the frame 1.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The frame 1 is fixedly equipped with a series of interconnected rails 2 in a vertical plane. Specifically, one rail 2 is fixed on each side of a set of side frames 11, and the two rails 2 are symmetrical to each other. Several hanging rods 3 are evenly spaced on the rails 2, and the hanging rods 3 are slidably connected to the rails 2. Specifically, rollers 32 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the hanging rods 3. One roller 32 at one end of the hanging rod 3 rolls within one rail 2, while the other roller 32 at the other end of the hanging rod 3 rolls within another rail 2. A connector, a rope loop 31, is provided on the hanging rod 3 for connecting to the warp beam 5. The top of the rope loop 31 is fitted onto the hanging rod 3 and rotates in cooperation with it, while the bottom of the rope loop 31 can be fitted onto the warp beam 5.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 The guide rail includes a horizontal section 21, a vertical section 23, and a loading section 22. The horizontal sections 21 extend horizontally, and all horizontal sections 21 are evenly and spaced apart along the height of the frame 1. Hanging rods 3, on which warp beams 5 are suspended, can be stored long-term on the horizontal sections 21. The hanging rods 3 will not slip accidentally due to the weight of the warp beams 5, and the horizontal sections 21 provide stable support for the hanging rods 3. The vertical section 23 is located at the end of the horizontal section 21 near the front frame 16. The top of the vertical section 23 is connected to the uppermost horizontal section 21, allowing the warp beams 5 located at a higher position to be quickly lowered. A loading platform 13 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1 near the front frame 16. The loading platform 13 can slide vertically, and the warp beams 5 can be placed on the loading platform 13. Specifically, the loading platform 13 can be driven by a cylinder or electric push rod fixed to the frame 1 or to the ground. The loading section 22 is located directly above the loading platform 13, and the loading platform 13 is not in the same vertical position as the vertical section 23 and the horizontal section 21, so as to ensure that the operator stays as far away from most of the warp shafts 5 as possible during the loading process, thereby improving safety. The loading section 22 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical section 23.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The frame 1 is also equipped with a drive assembly 4, which drives all the hanging rods 3 to slide simultaneously along the track 2. The drive assembly 4 includes a chain 41, sprockets 42, and a power component. The chain 41 is arranged along the track 2 and is connected end to end. The sprockets 42 are located inside the track 2, and the ends of all the hanging rods 3 are fixedly connected to the chain 41. Several sprockets 42 are rotatably arranged on the frame 1. The track 2 has meshing grooves at the corners for the sprockets 42 to pass through. All sprockets 42 are meshed with the chain 41 and together tighten the chain 41. The power component is used to drive the sprockets 42 to rotate. Specifically, the power component includes a motor 43. One motor 43 is provided on each side frame 11. The motor 43 is fixedly connected to the side frame 11 on the frame 1. The drive shaft of the motor 43 is coaxially fixed with any sprocket 42 on the side frame. The drive shaft of the motor 43 can rotate in either the forward or reverse direction.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 In addition, a control component 6 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the control component 6 is electrically connected to the motor 43. The control component 6 is used to control the rotation of the motor. The control component 6 is a conventional means in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0035] The implementation principle of a multi-layer warp beam storage rack according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When it is necessary to store warp beams 5, the operator moves the warp beams 5 to the loading platform 13 using a transport vehicle, drives the loading platform 13 to move upwards closer to the loading section 22, and connects the warp beams 5 to the hanging rods 3 located directly above the loading section 22 via rope loops 31. Then, the loading platform 13 is driven downwards, moving away from the loading section 22 and no longer carrying the warp beams 5. At this time, the control unit 6 can select whether to start the motor 43 to rotate forward or backward according to the distance between the required storage position of the warp beams 5 and the loading platform 13, so that the chain 41 drives all the hanging rods 3 fixedly connected to it to slide along the track 2. The rollers 32 at both ends of the hanging rods 3 roll within the track 2, reducing frictional resistance. The hanging rod 3, with the warp beam 5 attached, moves along the chain 41 from the initial loading section 22 to the horizontal section 21. Since the horizontal section 21 extends horizontally, the hanging rod 3 and the warp beam 5 can be stably placed on it, providing stable support and enabling long-term storage. When the warp beam 5 needs to be retrieved, the control unit 6 selects whether to start the motor 43 in the forward or reverse direction based on the distance of the desired warp beam 5 from the loading platform 13. This causes the chain 41 to slide the hanging rod 3, moving it from the horizontal section 21 to the loading section 22. At this point, the operator can easily remove the warp beam 5 from the hanging rod 3. This reduces the floor space occupied by the warp beam 5, improves storage space utilization, and increases the efficiency of warp beam storage and retrieval.
[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
