Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage and circulation technology of spindle-type parts, specifically a storage and circulation device for spindle-type parts. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the increasingly frequent and faster delivery requirements of today's customers, the storage and transportation of materials must be faster, more efficient, and safer. Therefore, we chose to focus on the spindle, a key core component of machine tools, and independently developed, designed, and manufactured an innovative transfer trolley. This combined with changes to the storage method greatly improved transportation efficiency, increased inventory capacity, reduced spindle handling costs, and enhanced the safety of the spindle transfer process, ultimately improving customer satisfaction.

[0003] The spindles are stored horizontally in pallets. Due to the variety, weight, and size of the products, this method occupies a large area, is disorganized, lacks visual control, and does not support first-in, first-out (FIFO) management. They are also prone to deformation and rust, affecting product quality. Transporting the spindles involves material handlers using overhead cranes to lift them onto warehouse trolleys. This process is time-consuming and inefficient, and poses safety hazards, increasing the risk of injury. Furthermore, when the spindles reach the user department, they require a second lifting process, changing from horizontal to vertical placement, further impacting efficiency and posing safety risks.

[0004] Therefore, a storage and transfer device for spindle-type parts is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a storage and transfer device for spindle-type parts, which achieves the advantage of easy spindle movement through the easy rolling of bearings.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a storage and transfer device for spindle-type parts, comprising a storage rack, and a positioning component above the storage rack;

[0007] The positioning component includes a slide rail fixed to the storage rack, a pulley rotatably mounted inside the slide rail, a positioning plate fixed around the outer perimeter of the slide rail, a movable base plate slidably mounted between the pulley and the slide rail, a transition plate above the movable base plate, a main shaft component at the top of the transition plate, and a transfer component on the right side of the storage rack.

[0008] The transfer assembly includes a transfer vehicle that fits into the storage rack, and a second slide rail is fixedly provided on the top of the transfer vehicle.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the slide rail is provided with a screw rod that is spirally arranged with the storage rack.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning plate is a flexible steel sheet, and the end of the positioning plate is arc-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the transfer vehicle is provided with a second slide rail on its top, and the second slide rail is configured to have the same shape and specifications as the first slide rail. A handle is fixedly provided on the right side of the top of the transfer vehicle, and a pulley is rotatably provided at the bottom of the transfer vehicle.

[0012] Preferably, anti-detachment pins are inserted around the top edges of both the slide rail one and the slide rail two.

[0013] Preferably, a limiting ring is fitted on the upper outer side of the main shaft component, and a traction rope is fixedly provided on the outer side of the limiting ring. The other end of the traction rope is threaded through a screw rod that is spirally arranged with the transition plate.

[0014] Preferably, threaded holes are provided on the surfaces of both the movable base plate and the transition plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model adopts a new storage method, realizing a first-in, first-out (FIFO) shipping concept, effectively shortening the production cycle. The new storage method replaces the original flat storage with vertical placement, effectively preventing the deformation and rusting of precision parts due to long-term storage. The integrated storage method greatly saves the floor space required for the spindle storage area. The planning department only needs to manage the inventory visually based on the Kanban board, eliminating the need for blind ordering.

[0017] 2. This utility model uses a designed limiting ring structure in conjunction with a traction rope for binding and positioning, which can form a positioning structure on the outside of the main shaft, enabling rapid positioning and reducing the instability during transportation.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] The following describes an embodiment of this utility model based on its overall structure.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a storage and circulation device for spindle-type parts, including a storage rack 1. This device is mainly used for storing spindles, and a positioning component 2 is also provided above the storage rack 1.

[0031] The positioning component 2 includes a slide rail 21 fixed to the storage rack 1. A bearing 22 is rotatably installed inside the slide rail 21. A positioning plate 24 is fixed around the outer perimeter of the slide rail 21. A movable base plate 4 is slidably installed between the bearing 22 and the slide rail 21. A transition plate 5 is also provided above the movable base plate 4. A main shaft part 8 is provided at the top of the transition plate 5. A transfer component 3 is also provided on the right side of the storage rack 1.

[0032] The transfer assembly 3 includes a transfer cart 31 that fits into the storage rack 1, and a slide rail 32 is fixedly provided on the top of the transfer cart 31.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom end of slide rail 21 is penetrated by a screw 23 that is spirally arranged with the storage rack 1. The positioning plate 24 is made of elastic steel sheet, and the end of the positioning plate 24 is arc-shaped. A second slide rail 32 is provided above the transfer cart 31, and the second slide rail 32 is set with the same shape and specifications as slide rail 21. A handle 7 is fixedly provided on the right side of the top of the transfer cart 31. A pulley 33 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the transfer cart 31. The movement is more stable by means of the pulley 33. The top of slide rail 21 and slide rail 2 32 are connected around the top. Anti-detachment pins 6 are inserted around the top of the spindle part 8 for easy positioning. A limiting ring 9 is fitted on the upper outer side of the spindle part 8. A traction rope 10 is fixed on the outer side of the limiting ring 9. The other end of the traction rope 10 passes through a screw 11 that is spirally arranged with the transition plate 5. The screw 11 is installed on the surface of the transition plate 5 for positioning. The traction rope 10 pulls and drives the limiting ring 9 to limit the spindle part 8. Threaded holes are opened on the surfaces of the movable base plate 4 and the transition plate 5 to facilitate the installation and positioning of structures of different sizes.

[0034] Working principle and process of a storage and transfer device for spindle-type parts:

[0035] The storage rack 1 structure can store and transfer the main shaft parts 8. The specific working principle is to install the main shaft parts 8 at the same height on the C-shaped steel plate, push the base plate into the rack from one end of the storage rack 1, and the base plate contacts the outer ring of the bearing 22, allowing employees to easily push the workpiece. The positioning plate 24 on the outside of the positioning component 2 is designed for quick positioning. It mainly docks with the transfer cart 31 structure. The working principle is to use two angled steel plates to fix it at both ends of the storage rack 1. When the main shaft material transfer cart 31 is loading and unloading, it is only necessary to push the transfer cart 31 into the positioning plate 24, and the transfer cart 31 can dock with the storage rack 1 to achieve a "seamless" docking. The trolley base is made of aluminum profile, and a C-shaped steel plate is installed on the base. The main shaft parts 8 at the same height as the main shaft storage rack 1 are installed on the steel plate to realize the docking between the small material cart and the main shaft storage rack 1, which facilitates material transfer. The base of this material handling cart is consistent with the company's internal handling carts. Material handlers can choose to manually push the cart or use a small material train for feeding materials. It uses 400mm x 400mm steel plates, slightly smaller than the distance between two C-shaped steel plates, ensuring that the base plate will not fall off even if it moves between the C-shaped steel plates. The threaded mounting holes on different models of spindles are also in different positions and cannot be directly installed on the movable base plate 4. A transition plate 5 is required to transfer and fix different models of spindle parts 8 to the movable base plate 4. An anti-detachment pin 6 structure is added for positioning. It uses the fixing holes on the C-shaped steel plate and the movable base plate 4, and uses the anti-detachment pin 6 to insert into the two fixing holes to ensure that the movable base plate 4 cannot move even under external force, ensuring personal and property safety.
