Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of manufacturing auxiliary devices for cable production and storage, specifically a transfer storage device (also known as a "material warehouse") for storing steamer racks for storing iron and wooden trays. Background Technology

[0002] Cable reels are common equipment used in cable production, storage, and transportation. A cable reel consists of two iron / wooden reels connected by a spool; these reels are used to wind and store cables with large outer diameters. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 The ironwood tray frame shown is constructed by welding an outer ring 101 to a central steamer rack 102. After installing wooden boards on the frame surface, the ironwood tray is finally formed. The "steamer rack," due to its structural similarity to a steamer rack used for cooking, is specifically named as such. It is a frame structure welded together by a concentric core 103, an inner ring 104, and multiple radially arranged spokes 105. The outer ring 101 is welded to the outer edge of the steamer rack and is concentric with the core 103 and the inner ring 104. Depending on the diameter of the ironwood tray, the inner ring can be omitted, used in a single ring, or composed of multiple concentric rings of different diameters.

[0003] For cable reels used with large outer diameter cables, both the outer ring and the steamer frame are made of angle steel welded together, and then welded into a single structure. Currently, the predominantly manual processing method involves temporarily storing the prefabricated outer ring and steamer frame next to the welding equipment with the iron and wood reel frame, and then manually loading them. Because the outer ring and steamer frame of these reels are very heavy, this presents significant difficulties and safety hazards for workers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes a storage rack for storing iron and wood trays in a steamer, including a storage rack and a lifting mechanism;

[0005] The storage rack includes a storage lifting frame, a shaft core guide column, and a spoke guide frame; there is a steamer rack storage area on the surface of the storage lifting frame; in the middle of the steamer rack storage area is a vertical shaft core guide column, and next to the shaft core guide column is a spoke guide frame;

[0006] The lifting mechanism includes a lift and a fork arm; the fork arm is connected to the lift and lifts the storage lifting frame to rise or fall; the shaft guide column and the spoke guide frame are separate from the storage lifting frame, and the shaft guide column and the spoke guide frame are stationary during the rising or falling of the storage lifting frame.

[0007] The spoke guide frame has a vertical spoke limiting groove, and the top of the spoke limiting groove is open; in the steamer rack storage area, the steamer racks are stacked, the core of each steamer rack is sleeved outside the core guide post, and the spokes of each steamer rack are inside the spoke limiting groove.

[0008] When in use, the steamer racks are stacked on the steamer rack storage area on the surface of the storage lifting frame, and the core of the steamer rack is sleeved on the core guide post, with the spokes in the spoke limiting groove, so that the position of each steamer rack is stable.

[0009] Once the top steamer rack is removed, the lifting mechanism raises the storage lift frame one step, allowing the next steamer rack to reach the top and await grabbing. Because the shaft guide column and spoke guide frame are separate from the storage lift frame, they remain stationary throughout the process.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a movable frame, the bottom of which is equipped with casters; the shaft guide column and the spoke guide frame are both vertically fixed to the surface of the movable frame; the storage lifting frame is placed on the surface of the movable frame; the storage lifting frame has holes for the shaft guide column and the spoke guide frame to pass through.

[0011] With this structure, the steamer rack can be easily moved and replenished.

[0012] The storage lifting frame carrying the steamer racks is placed on the surface of the moving frame, while the shaft guide column and spoke guide frame are fixed to the surface of the moving frame. Once the moving frame, carrying the steamer racks, is moved to the position of the lifting fork arm, the fork arm lifts the storage lifting frame while the moving frame remains stationary. After all the steamer racks have been removed, the storage lifting frame is lowered back onto the surface of the moving frame, and the moving frame, carrying the empty storage lifting frame, leaves the lifting platform and returns to reload the steamer racks.

[0013] Furthermore, the elevator is also equipped with a guide device and a fixing device for the movable frame at the position corresponding to its fork arm;

[0014] The guiding device includes a pair of guide rails, which are parallel to each other, and the area enclosed by the two guide rails has a funnel shape on the side away from the elevator, which is wider on the outside and narrower on the inside.

[0015] Two sets of parallel guide wheels are installed on the bottom surface of the mobile frame; the axis of rotation of each guide wheel is vertical; when the mobile frame is in cooperation with the lifting mechanism, the two sets of guide wheels are located on the inner side of the two guide slides, and the guide wheels are attached to the inner side wall of the guide slides.

[0016] The fixing device includes two sets of moving frame fixing cylinders, and a pressure block is connected to the top of the piston rod of each moving frame fixing cylinder; the two sets of moving frame fixing cylinders are respectively located on the outside of two guide slides; when the moving frame is in the state of cooperation with the lifting mechanism, the two sides of the moving frame are respectively below the pressure blocks on the two sets of moving frame fixing cylinders.

[0017] The above structure allows the mobile frame to be accurately positioned / stable in front of the elevator.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a shaft core guide post positioning cylinder, a guide hole, and a guide sleeve; the top end of the piston rod of the shaft core guide post positioning cylinder is vertically upward and connected to the guide hole; the guide sleeve is sleeved over the guide hole;

[0019] The bottom end of the shaft guide column extends downwards from the bottom surface of the moving frame, and the height of the bottom end is higher than the bottom surface of the caster.

[0020] When the moving frame and the lifting mechanism are in operation, the guide hole is lifted by the piston rod of the positioning cylinder of the shaft core guide column, and the guide hole is sleeved outside the bottom of the shaft core guide column.

[0021] The above structure ensures the stability of the shaft guide column, preventing displacement during lifting operations. On the production site, equipment such as the shaft guide column positioning cylinder can be pre-embedded below ground level in front of the elevator.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes guide balls; there is at least one pair of guide balls, which are connected to the storage lifting frame by a bracket (located next to the hole through which the spoke guide frame passes), and the spoke guide frame is sandwiched between the pair of guide balls.

[0023] This structure makes the lifting process of the storage lifting frame more stable.

[0024] Specifically, the lifting platform includes a frame and a screw lifting device; the frame is U-shaped, with vertical linear guide rails connected to two columns of the frame; two sliders are connected to the back of a movable plate, and the two sliders are respectively connected to the two linear guide rails; the screw lifting device is connected to the frame, and the screw of the screw lifting device is vertical; the drive motor of the screw lifting device is located at the top of the frame; a nut is screwed on the screw, and the nut seat corresponding to the nut is connected to the back of the movable plate; the fork arm is connected to the front of the movable plate.

[0025] Here, a stepper motor can be used as the drive motor.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0054] The material storage unit of this utility model includes a storage rack with storage lifting and guiding functions and a moving guiding function, as well as a lifting machine with guiding, positioning, fixing and lifting functions.

[0055] The lifting device of the elevator is installed on the frame 1. The drive motor 2 rotates and drives the lead screw 4 to rotate through the coupling 3. The nut 5 drives the fork arm 8, which is installed on the moving plate 7 with the slider 10 as a guide, to move up and down on the linear guide rail 9 through the nut seat 6.

[0056] The positioning structure of the shaft core guide post is as follows: it is installed on the shaft core guide post positioning cylinder seat 15. When the shaft core guide post positioning cylinder 16 is activated, it drives the guide hole 17 to move up and down inside the guide sleeve 18.

[0057] The fixed structure of the mobile frame is installed on the fixed cylinder seat 13 of the mobile frame. When the fixed cylinder 12 of the mobile frame is activated, it drives the pressure block 14 to reciprocate to press down / lift up.

[0058] The lifting and guiding structure of the steamer rack is as follows: On the moving frame 20, the spoke guide frame 25 and the shaft core guide column 23 ensure that the direction and position of the steamer rack 102 placed on the storage lifting frame 24 are consistent; Under the constraint of the shaft core guide column 23 and the guide ball 27 installed on the bracket 26, the storage lifting frame 24 ensures that the steamer rack 102 on the storage lifting frame 24 will not deflect or misalign when moving up and down.

[0059] The structure for guiding the movement of the steamer rack is as follows: The mobile frame 20 can be moved arbitrarily via casters 22, while the guide wheel 21 ensures that the mobile frame 20 is positioned correctly before entering the predetermined position after contacting the guide slide 11.

[0060] The workflow of the material storage facility in this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] Push the fully loaded mobile frame 20 to the elevator.

[0062] After the guide wheel 21 contacts the guide slide 11, it pushes the moving frame 20 until the moving frame 20 hits the block (contact switch) 19;

[0063] At this time, the shaft core guide column positioning cylinder 16 drives the guide hole 17 to move upward in the guide sleeve 18. The guide hole 17 wraps the shaft core guide column 23, ensuring that the center position of the steamer rack 102 is stable and guaranteed.

[0064] Subsequently, the mobile frame fixing cylinder 12 drives the pressure block 14 to press down and fix the mobile frame 20;

[0065] After the top steamer rack 102 is removed, the drive motor 2 rotates and drives the lead screw 4 to rotate through the coupling 3. The nut 5 drives the fork arm 8, which is mounted on the moving plate 7 with the slider 10 as a guide, to move upward on the linear guide rail 9 through the nut seat 6. Then, the fork arm 8 drives the steamer rack 102 on the storage lifting frame 24 to move upward under the constraint of the shaft core guide column 23 and the guide ball 27, so as to ensure that the top steamer rack 102 is always in the same position.

[0066] Repeatedly remove the steamer rack 102 and ensure that the top steamer rack 102 is in the same position. After all the steamer racks 102 are used up, the fork arm 8 lowers with the storage lifting frame 24. At this time, the shaft core guide column positioning cylinder 16 retracts, causing the guide hole 17 to separate from the shaft core guide column 23. The moving frame fixing cylinder 12 lifts up, causing the pressure block 14 to release the moving frame 20. At this time, the empty moving frame 20 can be moved out, and the full moving frame 20 can be pushed in again. Repeat the previous actions.

[0067] This invention facilitates the removal of iron and wood discs during the paired welding process, eliminating the need for manual positioning and handling of the steamer rack. It features accurate positioning and eliminates the need for manual handling, thereby improving the automation level of steamer rack material removal, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and enhancing safety.
