Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of screen printing plate storage, and more particularly to a storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of screen printing, screen printing plates are a key consumable, and their usage continues to rise with the industry's development. Currently, whether it's the complex and diverse product patterns in packaging printing, the intricate details of color and texture in textile printing, or the high-precision replication of circuits in electronic circuit board printing, all rely on a large number of screen printing plates of different specifications and patterns. Therefore, to meet order demands, companies need to maintain a substantial inventory of printing plates, which places higher demands on the storage process. However, traditional screen printing plate storage methods are relatively simple, often involving random stacking against walls or placing them flat on workbenches. This storage method makes it inconvenient to retrieve the plates, requiring workers to frequently move other plates when searching for a specific one, which is time-consuming and laborious, greatly reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To facilitate the retrieval of screen printing plates, this application provides a storage rack.

[0004] The storage rack provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A storage rack includes a frame body with multiple orderly arranged storage areas. Each storage area on the frame body has a support plate for supporting a screen printing plate and a limiting mechanism for confining the screen printing plate. The frame body also has a drive mechanism and a receiving support frame connected to the drive mechanism. The receiving support frame is equipped with a retrieval mechanism. The drive mechanism is configured to move the receiving support frame to one side of any storage area so that the retrieval mechanism can retrieve the screen printing plate from that storage area onto the receiving support frame.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, after multiple screen printing plates are placed in the storage area for storage, the drive mechanism can move the receiving support to the side of the screen printing plate to be retrieved, and then the retrieval mechanism can move the screen printing plate onto the receiving support to complete the retrieval of the screen printing plate.

[0007] In one specific implementation, the drive mechanism includes a guide bar mounted on a frame, a slider slidably connected to the guide bar, a connecting hole on the slider, a lead screw threadedly connected to the connecting hole, a drive component connected to the lead screw also mounted on the frame, and a receiving support bracket mounted on the slider.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component can drive the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the slider to move and then driving the receiving support bracket to move to one side of any storage area.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the retrieval mechanism includes a screw rotatably connected to a receiving support frame, the screw being threadedly connected to a sliding seat, the sliding seat being slidably connected to the receiving support frame, and a rotating component connected to the screw being mounted on the receiving support frame; a suction cup is mounted on one end of the sliding seat near the bearing plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive belt can drive the screw to rotate, thereby moving the sliding seat. After the sliding seat moves, it can drive the suction cup to move and hold the end of the screen printing plate in the storage area. Then, the drive belt can be driven again to move the sliding seat, thereby dragging the screen printing plate onto the receiving support.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the receiving support is further equipped with a guide bar, which has a guide groove for guiding the movement of the screen printing plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide groove can guide the movement of the screen printing plate.

[0013] In one specific implementation, multiple mounting slots are formed on the wall of the guide groove along the direction of the guide groove, and each mounting slot is rotatably connected to a support wheel for assisting the movement of the screen printing plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the support wheel can assist in the movement of the screen printing plate.

[0015] In one specific implementation, the limiting mechanism includes a fixing block mounted on a frame, the fixing block having a slot for the end of the screen printing plate to be inserted into, the slot being fitted with a pressing component; the screen printing plate can be inserted into or removed from the slot, and when the screen printing plate is inserted into the slot, the pressing component presses against the screen printing plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the screen printing plate can be moved and inserted into the slot. At this time, the screen printing plate will be pressed by the pressing component, which can prevent the screen printing plate from falling.

[0017] In one specific implementation, the pressing component includes a wedge-shaped block, the slot has a receiving groove, the wedge-shaped block is slidably connected to the receiving groove, and the wedge-shaped block and the receiving groove are connected together by a spring.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the end of the screen printing plate is inserted into the receiving groove, the wedge block will move, the spring will be compressed, and the spring will provide the wedge block with a force to resist the screen printing plate.

[0019] In one specific feasible implementation, the bottom of the frame is equipped with multiple casters.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, this application can be easily moved to different locations.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. After multiple screen printing plates are placed in the storage area for storage, the drive mechanism can move the receiving support to the side of the screen printing plate to be retrieved. Then, the retrieval mechanism can be driven to move the screen printing plate onto the receiving support to complete the retrieval of the screen printing plate.

[0023] 2. Driving the rotating component can drive the screw to rotate, thereby moving the sliding seat. After the sliding seat moves, it can drive the suction cup to move and pick up the end of the screen printing plate in the storage area. Then, driving the rotating component again can drive the sliding seat to move, thereby dragging the screen printing plate onto the receiving support.

[0024] 3. It can move the screen printing plate into the slot. At this time, the wedge block will move and the spring will be compressed. The spring provides the wedge block with the force to press against the screen printing plate. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This application discloses a storage rack. It is used to facilitate the storage of screen printing plates and the retrieval of any stored screen printing plate. In this embodiment, the screen printing plate is cuboid in shape.

[0030] Reference Figure 1A storage rack includes a frame 1 with multiple storage areas 11 arranged in an orderly fashion from top to bottom. Each storage area 11 on the frame 1 is equipped with a support plate 12 for supporting screen printing plates and a limiting mechanism 2 for confining the screen printing plates. The support plate 12 is arranged horizontally. The frame 1 also includes a drive mechanism 3 and a receiving support frame 4 connected to the drive mechanism 3. The receiving support frame 4 is located on the right side of the frame 1 and has a retrieval mechanism 5 installed on it. The drive mechanism 3 can move the receiving support frame 4 up and down to the right side of any storage area 11, allowing the retrieval mechanism 5 to retrieve the screen printing plate from that storage area 11 onto the receiving support frame 4. Multiple casters 13 are also installed at the bottom of the frame 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 Taking the structure of its limiting mechanism 2 as an example: the limiting mechanism 2 includes a fixing block 21 installed on the frame 1. The fixing block 21 is located on the left side of the bearing plate 12. The right end of the fixing block 21 has a slot 22 for the end of the screen printing plate to be inserted. The slot 22 is equipped with a pressing component 23. The screen printing plate can be inserted into or pulled out of the slot 22. When the screen printing plate is inserted into the slot 22, the pressing component 23 presses against the screen printing plate to prevent the screen printing plate from falling off.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The pressing component 23 includes a wedge block 231, and the slot 22 has a receiving groove 221. The wedge block 231 is slidably connected to the receiving groove 221, and the wedge block 231 and the receiving groove 221 are connected together by a spring 232.

[0033] To store a screen printing plate, the screen printing plate needs to be placed on the support plate 12 and the left end of the screen printing plate should be inserted into the receiving groove 221. At this time, the wedge block 231 moves upward and the spring 232 is compressed. The spring 232 provides the wedge block 231 with a force to press against the screen printing plate.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The drive mechanism 3 includes a guide bar 31 mounted on the frame 1. The guide bar 31 is vertically arranged and a slider 32 is slidably connected to the guide bar 31. The slider 32 has a connection hole 321 and a lead screw 33 is threadedly connected to the connection hole 321. The frame 1 is also equipped with a drive component 34 connected to the lead screw 33. The drive component 34 is a motor. The receiving support bracket 4 is mounted on the slider 32.

[0035] The drive component 34 drives the lead screw 33 to rotate, thereby causing the slider 32 to move up and down, which in turn causes the receiving support bracket 4 to move up and down to one side of any storage area 11.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The retrieving mechanism 5 includes a screw 51 rotatably connected to the receiving support frame 4. The screw 51 is horizontally arranged and threadedly connected to a sliding seat 52. The sliding seat 52 is slidably connected to the receiving support frame 4. The receiving support frame 4 is also equipped with a rotating component 53 connected to the screw 51, which is a motor. Multiple suction cups 54 are installed on the left side of the sliding seat 52. In this application, the suction cups 54 are miniature airless electric suction cups. To facilitate the movement of the screen printing plate, two horizontally arranged guide strips 55 are also installed on the receiving support frame 4. Each guide strip 55 has a guide groove 551 for guiding the movement of the screen printing plate. In addition, multiple mounting grooves 552 are formed on the bottom wall of the guide groove 551 along the direction of the guide groove 551. Each mounting groove 552 is rotatably connected to a support wheel 56 for assisting the movement of the screen printing plate. The support wheel 56 is slightly higher than the bottom wall of the guide groove 551. The bottom of the support plate 12 is also provided with a number of receiving slots 121, and each receiving slot 121 is rotatably mounted with a roller 122 that is slightly higher than the top of the support plate 12.

[0037] After the receiving support 4 is displaced to one side of its storage area 11, the drive belt 53 drives the screw 51 to rotate, thereby causing the sliding seat 52 to move to the left. At this time, multiple suction cups 54 move to the left to suck up the right end of the screen printing plate in the storage area 11. Then the drive belt 53 reverses to make the sliding seat 52 move to the right. With the assistance of multiple rollers 122, the screen printing plate will be dragged into the guide groove 551 and then completely moved away from the storage area 11 with the assistance of multiple bearing wheels 56.

[0038] Of course, this application also makes it easy to store the screen printing plate in the storage area 11, with the storage action being the opposite of the retrieval action.

[0039] The implementation principle of a storage rack in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0040] Multiple screen printing plates are pre-stored in multiple storage areas 11. Specifically, the screen printing plate needs to be placed on the support plate 12 and the left end of the screen printing plate is inserted into the receiving groove 221 and pressed by the wedge block 231. Then, to retrieve a screen printing plate, the drive component 34 is driven to rotate the lead screw 33, thereby moving the slider 32 up and down, which in turn moves the receiving support bracket 4 up and down to one side of a storage area 11. The drive component 53 drives the screw 51 to rotate, thereby moving the sliding seat 52 to the left. At this time, multiple suction cups 54 move to the left to suck up the right end of the screen printing plate in the storage area 11. Then, the drive component 53 reverses to make the sliding seat 52 move to the right. With the assistance of multiple rollers 122, the screen printing plate is dragged into the guide groove 551 and then completely moved away from the storage area 11 with the assistance of multiple support wheels 56. At this time, the retrieval of the screen printing plate is completed.

[0041] 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.
