Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts processing technology, and relates to a workstation tool for automotive parts, specifically a tooling for storing, retrieving and transferring beam-type products. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for lightweight vehicles, component manufacturing processes are rapidly evolving towards integration and modularization. High-strength, high-toughness integrally cast thrust rod crossbeams, exemplified by QT800-5, are gradually replacing traditional stamped and welded structures, becoming a new industry trend. These integrally cast parts offer advantages such as high structural strength, light weight, and good production consistency, but they also bring new challenges in warehousing and transportation.
[0003] First, structural limitations: the integral cast crossbeam is large in volume and heavy in weight, and the surface needs to be protected from impacts. Traditional stacking of loose parts or simple brackets cannot meet its requirements for safe storage and convenient access.
[0004] Second, pain points of line-side operation: The space at the production line side is limited, and it is necessary to take into account multi-layer storage and rapid retrieval and placement. However, existing tooling often has problems such as low space utilization and cumbersome operation.
[0005] Third, the contradiction between efficiency and cost: the separate tooling of the stamping and welding era cannot be adapted to integrated castings, customized handling equipment is expensive, and there is a lack of economical and efficient general solutions.
[0006] In existing technologies, beam-type tooling mostly adopts a fixed shelf structure, which cannot flexibly adjust the storage space and lacks a dedicated design for the surface protection of castings, making it easy to cause scratches or deformation during transportation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dedicated storage and transportation device that is easy to operate, cost-effective, and adapted to the characteristics of integral casting beams, in order to improve line-side logistics efficiency and ensure product quality. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a tooling for storing and transferring beam-type products, which realizes efficient hierarchical storage and convenient access for beam-type products.
[0008] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0009] A beam-type product storage, retrieval, and transfer fixture includes: two first horizontal tubes arranged opposite each other, two first vertical tubes vertically connected to one end of the two first horizontal tubes, and two second vertical tubes vertically connected to the other end of the two first horizontal tubes. A first storage unit is formed in the space between the two first vertical tubes and the two second vertical tubes. One or more layers of dynamic support structures composed of two second horizontal tubes are provided above the two first horizontal tubes. One end of the second horizontal tube is hinged to the first vertical tube, and the other end of the second horizontal tube is limited and supported by a support plate vertically connected between the two second vertical tubes, so that when the second horizontal tube is mounted on the support plate, it remains parallel to the first horizontal tube.
[0010] Furthermore, one or more cylindrical pins corresponding to the second horizontal tube are provided on one side of the first vertical tube, and an oblong hole is opened at one end of the second horizontal tube. The cylindrical pin is rotatably connected in the oblong hole and slidably connected along the extension direction of the oblong hole.
[0011] Furthermore, one end of the cylindrical pin passes through the waist-shaped hole on the second horizontal tube and is connected to a cotter pin, so as to movably connect one end of the second horizontal tube to the first vertical tube.
[0012] Furthermore, one side of the support plate is provided with two triangular support blocks, each corresponding to one of the two second horizontal tubes.
[0013] Furthermore, both the first and second horizontal tubes are provided with rubber pads, and the top of the rubber pads has an arc-shaped positioning groove that matches the axial surface of the beam-type product.
[0014] Furthermore, triangular reinforcing support plates are provided at the connection points between the first horizontal tube and the first vertical tube and the second vertical tube.
[0015] Furthermore, auxiliary connecting pipes are horizontally connected between the two first vertical pipes and between the two second vertical pipes.
[0016] Furthermore, the bottoms of the two first vertical tubes and the two second vertical tubes are equipped with casters.
[0017] Furthermore, one or more sets of opposing third-party tubes are vertically connected to the middle of the two first horizontal tubes to divide the space between the first vertical tube and the second vertical tube into multiple second storage units, and the structure of any second storage unit is the same as that of the first storage unit.
[0018] Furthermore, one end of the second horizontal tube is hinged to the first vertical tube / second vertical tube / third vertical tube, and the other end of the second horizontal tube is limited and supported by a support plate vertically connected between the two second vertical tubes / third vertical tubes / first vertical tubes.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model: The beam-type product storage and transfer fixture provided in this application, through a stable bottom support structure and a multi-layer dynamic support structure flexibly set above the bottom support structure, achieves efficient layered storage and convenient access for beam-type products. The bottom support structure consists of two parallel first horizontal tubes directly supporting both ends of the beam-type product, ensuring the stability of the foundation load. The dynamic support structure achieves dynamic adjustment through a hinged second horizontal tube. When it is necessary to access the bottom layer product, the second horizontal tube can be flipped upwards to a vertical state, completely avoiding the operating space. When it is necessary to access the upper layer product, simply lower the second horizontal tube horizontally to form a support plane parallel to the bottom layer. This not only achieves multi-layered storage within a limited space, but also... It significantly improves space utilization, and the storage and retrieval of products on different layers can be completed through a simple flipping operation, greatly improving work efficiency. The horizontal and vertical tubes adopt a high-strength square tube structure, combined with triangular reinforced support plates and auxiliary connecting tubes, to enhance the overall resistance to deformation. Rubber pads and their arc-shaped positioning grooves effectively prevent products from bumping and rotating, ensuring stability and safety during transportation. By adding a third vertical tube, the storage unit can be divided into multiple independent spaces to adapt to the layered storage needs of different quantities of products, and the structure is flexible and adjustable. This tooling is simple to manufacture, low in cost, easy to operate, stable and reliable, compact in structure, and lightweight. It combines functionality, stability, and economy, and is especially suitable for multi-layer storage and handling scenarios of beam-type products. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a tooling for storing and transferring beam-type products, including: two opposing first horizontal pipes 1, two first vertical pipes 2 vertically connected to one end of the two first horizontal pipes 1, and two second vertical pipes 3 vertically connected to the other end of the two first horizontal pipes 1. This forms a first storage unit for storing beam-type products in the space between the two first vertical pipes 2 and the two second vertical pipes 3. The two first horizontal pipes 1 form the bottom support structure of the first storage unit. The beam-type products are axially stored between the two first vertical pipes 2 and the two second vertical pipes 3, with each end supported by the two first horizontal pipes 1. The first horizontal pipes 1 primarily function to connect and support individual beam-type products laterally, with a length, width, and height of 50mm x 50mm x 1535mm and a thickness of 4mm or more. The first vertical pipes 2 and 3 provide the most important support, with a length, width, and height of 0mm x 0mm x 600mm and a thickness of 4mm or more. The height of the vertical pipes can be increased or decreased according to the specific number of loading layers required.
[0028] Above the two first horizontal tubes 1, a dynamic support structure consisting of two second horizontal tubes 4 is provided, realizing a multi-layer storage structure for beam-type products. The upper beam-type products are supported at both ends by the two second horizontal tubes 4. One end of the second horizontal tube 4 is hinged to the first vertical tube 2, and the other end of the second horizontal tube 4 is limited and supported by a support plate 5 vertically connected between the two second vertical tubes 3. When storing or retrieving the upper beam-type products, the second horizontal tube 4 is rotated to a horizontal position, and the second horizontal tube 4 is mounted on the support plate 5 and kept parallel to the first horizontal tube 1. When storing or retrieving the lower beam-type products, the second horizontal tube 4 is rotated to a vertical position, and the second horizontal tube 4 is kept parallel to the first vertical tube 2 and the second vertical tube 3. The second horizontal tube 4, as the support tube for the beam-type products, has a length, width, and height of 50mm x 50mm x 500mm and a thickness of 4mm or more.
[0029] Both the first horizontal tube 1 and the second horizontal tube 4 are equipped with rubber pads 6. The top of the rubber pad 6 is provided with an arc-shaped positioning groove 61 that is adapted to the axial surface of the beam-type product. The two ends of the beam-type product are respectively engaged in the arc-shaped positioning groove 61 of the rubber pad 6, which has the functions of preventing collision and preventing rotation, thereby improving the stability and safety of the beam-type product during transportation.
[0030] One or more cylindrical pins 41 corresponding to the second horizontal tube 4 are provided on one side of the first vertical tube 2. One end of the second horizontal tube 4 is provided with an oblong hole 42. The cylindrical pin 41 is rotatably connected in the oblong hole 42 and slidably connected along the extension direction of the oblong hole 42. It can be slidably adjusted while rotating, thereby further facilitating the rotation and opening and closing of the second horizontal tube 4, so that it is in an upright or horizontal state, which is convenient for loading or taking out the lower layer products. One end of the cylindrical pin 41 passes through the oblong hole 42 on the second horizontal tube 4 and is connected to a cotter pin to movably connect one end of the second horizontal tube 4 to the first vertical tube 2, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.
[0031] Two triangular support blocks 43, corresponding to the two second horizontal tubes 4, are provided on one side of the support plate 5. These triangular support blocks 43 support the ends of the second horizontal tubes 4, maintaining stability while reducing the thickness of the support plate 5, thus reducing the overall material and weight of the tooling. Triangular reinforcing support plates 11 are provided at the connection points between the first horizontal tube 1 and the first vertical tube 2 and the second vertical tube 3, playing a crucial supporting and connecting role and improving the tooling's resistance to deformation and torsion. Auxiliary connecting pipes 7 are horizontally connected between the two first vertical tubes 2 and between the two second vertical tubes 3, enhancing the stability of the tooling and further preventing deformation and torsion. The auxiliary connecting pipes 7 are 50mm x 50mm x 375mm in length, width, and height, with a thickness of 4mm or more. Universal wheels are provided at the bottom of both first vertical tubes 2 and two second vertical tubes 3 for easy transport of the tooling.
[0032] Furthermore, as another embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, two sets of opposing third vertical tubes 8 are vertically connected to the middle of the two first horizontal tubes 1, dividing the space between the first vertical tubes 2 and the second vertical tubes 3 into three second storage units. The structure of any second storage unit is the same as that of the first storage unit. The third vertical tubes 8 are mainly used to support the middle part of the tooling to prevent deformation, and their length, width, and height are set to 50mm x 50mm x 450mm, with a thickness of 4mm or more. Specifically, the second horizontal tube 4 within the second storage unit can be hinged at one end to the first vertical tube 2, the second vertical tube 3, or the third vertical tube 8, and the other end can be limited and supported by a support plate 5 vertically connected between the two third vertical tubes 8. Alternatively, it can be hinged at one end to the third vertical tube 8, and the other end can be limited and supported by a support plate 5 vertically connected between the two first vertical tubes 2, the second vertical tube 3, or the third vertical tube 8.
[0033] like Figure 3-6As shown, there are four states during the specific operation of this application. When loading the bottom layer product, the second horizontal tube 4 is rotated to a vertical position so that the second horizontal tube 4 is parallel to the first vertical tube 2 and the second vertical tube 3. Then, the beam-type product is placed on the bottom support structure and supported by the two first horizontal tubes 1. The two ends of the beam-type product are respectively engaged in the arc-shaped positioning groove 61 of the rubber pad 6, thus completing the loading of the bottom layer product. When loading the upper layer product, the second horizontal tube 4 is rotated to a horizontal position and mounted on the support plate 5 so as to be parallel to the first horizontal tube 1. Then, the beam-type product is placed on the dynamic support structure and supported by the two second horizontal tubes 4. The two ends of the beam-type product are respectively engaged in the arc-shaped positioning groove 61 of the rubber pad 6, thus completing the loading of the upper layer product.
[0034] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
