Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass storage and transportation technology, and in particular relates to a storage and transportation rack for curved glass. Background Technology

[0002] Curved glass is a type of glass product with a curved shape, made from flat glass through specific processing. It has a unique visual effect and can add an artistic atmosphere and a sense of flow to buildings, homes, and other places. Storage and transport racks are frequently used in the storage and transportation of curved glass to ensure its safety and stability during transport. Anti-slip and cushioning layers are usually installed on the contact surfaces of the transport racks to prevent the curved glass from sliding or being impacted during storage and transportation. By providing stable support and protection, storage and transport racks can effectively reduce collisions and friction during handling, stacking, and transportation, thereby reducing the risk of breakage. Storage and transport racks can store multiple pieces of curved glass together, allowing handlers to easily move multiple pieces without having to handle each piece individually.

[0003] The problem with existing technology is that if the curved glass is not positioned during transport, it is easily impacted by shaking or tilting, increasing the chance of collision and friction, and raising the risk of breakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a storage and transportation rack for curved glass. It has the advantage of positioning the stored curved glass before transportation, thus solving the problem that if the existing storage and transportation rack does not provide positioning measures, the curved glass is easily impacted by shaking or tilting during transportation, increasing the chance of collision and friction, and raising the risk of breakage.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a storage and transport rack for curved glass includes a placement rack, support arms, movable blocks, passage slots, and positioning structures. Four casters are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the placement rack. Several rubber strips are fixedly connected to the top of the placement rack. Two support arms are fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the placement rack. Two support bars are fixedly connected to the side of the two support arms that are close to each other. A cushioning pad is fixedly connected to the front of the bottom support bars. Movable bars are fixedly connected to the side of the two support arms that are far apart from each other. Movable slots are formed on the side of the two movable bars that are far apart from each other. The inner walls of the two movable slots are provided with several fixed slots at equal intervals on the upper and lower sides. The inner walls of the two movable slots are slidably connected to movable blocks. The front of the two movable blocks are rotatably connected to buffer blocks via rotating shafts. The inner walls of the two movable blocks are provided with through slots. The sides of the two movable blocks that are far apart from each other are provided with translation slots. The upper and lower sides of the two movable blocks are provided with openings. The two through slots are connected to the corresponding translation slots and openings. The upper and lower sides of the inner walls of the two through slots are fixedly connected to translation rods. The inner walls of the two through slots are provided with positioning structures.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the positioning structure includes a linear motion block, which is disposed on the side of the movable block away from the support arm. The outer surface of the linear motion block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the translation groove. A translation component is fixedly connected to the side of the linear motion block away from the movable block, and a linear motion arm is fixedly connected to the side of the linear motion block near the support arm. By setting the linear motion block, when the translation component is pushed forward, it can drive the linear motion block to slide forward in the translation groove, thereby driving the linear motion arm to move.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the linear actuator arm is disposed on the inner wall of the passage groove. The side of the linear actuator arm closest to the linear actuator block is fixedly connected to the linear actuator block. The upper and lower ends of the linear actuator arm closest to the support arm are respectively fixedly connected to linear actuator rods. A rotating arm is disposed on the side of the two linear actuator rods that are close to each other. By disposing of the linear actuator arm, the linear actuator arm can be driven by the linear actuator block to move forward in the passage groove, and simultaneously drive the movement of the two linear actuator rods. Thus, the two moving linear actuator rods respectively drive the two rotating arms to rotate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the two rotating arms are respectively positioned vertically on the inner wall of the passage groove, and are staggered horizontally. The ends of the two rotating arms that are far apart from each other are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the passage groove via rotating shafts. The ends of the two rotating arms that are far apart from each other are respectively in contact with two linear rods. An extension arm is fixedly connected to the ends of the two rotating arms that are far apart from each other. By setting the rotating arms, the two linear rods move forward and simultaneously press the surfaces of the two rotating arms, causing the two rotating arms to rotate relative to each other in a staggered manner. Thus, when the two rotating arms rotate, they can respectively drive the two extension arms to rotate in the same direction.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the front ends of the two extension arms are respectively fixedly connected to the back ends of the two rotating arms that are far apart from each other. The surfaces of the two extension arms are respectively provided with force-applying grooves, and the inner walls of the two force-applying grooves are respectively fitted with force-applying rods. The outer surfaces of the two force-applying rods are respectively fixedly connected with force-applying arms. By providing extension arms, the two extension arms move closer together by squeezing the two force-applying rods through the force-applying grooves during rotation. In this way, the two force-applying rods drive the two force-applying arms to move closer together.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the two force-applying arms are slidably connected to the outer surface of the translation rod at their midpoints. A fixed spring is fixedly connected to the side of the two force-applying arms that is close to each other, and the fixed spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the translation rod. Fixed blocks are fixedly connected to the side of the two force-applying arms that is far apart from each other. By setting the force-applying arms, the two force-applying arms can be driven by the force-applying rod to slide close to each other on the translation rod and compress the fixed spring. The sliding of the two force-applying arms then drives the two fixed blocks to move closer to each other.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the ends of the two fixed blocks that are far apart from each other extend through the inner wall of the groove via the openings. The ends of the two fixed blocks that are far apart from each other are respectively inserted into the inner wall of the fixed groove. By setting the fixed blocks, the two fixed blocks can move away from each other and disengage from the fixed groove to release the fixed limit on the movable block. In this way, the movable block can slide in the movable groove and drive the movement of the buffer block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model, by setting up a placement rack, support arm, movable block, passage groove and positioning structure, achieves the effect of positioning curved glass when transporting it using existing storage and transportation racks, preventing the curved glass from being easily impacted by shaking or tilting during transportation, reducing the chance of collision and friction, and lowering the risk of damage to the curved glass.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by setting up a support arm and movable blocks, enables the cooperation of the groove and positioning structure. The two movable blocks slide back and forth in the movable groove, thereby driving the two buffer blocks to move and fit against the surface of the stored curved glass. Then, the positioning structure fixes the movable blocks, thereby positioning and fixing the stored curved glass. Combined with the placement rack and moving wheels, it can be used for transportation, ensuring that the stored curved glass remains stable during transportation, reducing the chance of collision and friction between curved glass pieces, and reducing the risk of breakage during transportation.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a storage and transport rack for curved glass, including a placement rack 1, support arms 2, movable blocks 3, passage grooves 4, and positioning structures 5. Four corners of the bottom of the placement rack 1 are fixedly connected to movable wheels 101. Several rubber strips 102 are fixedly connected to the top of the placement rack 1. Two support arms 2 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the placement rack 1. Two support bars 103 are fixedly connected to the side of the two support arms 2 that are close to each other. A buffer pad 104 is fixedly connected to the front of the bottom support bar 103. Movable bars 6 are fixedly connected to the side of the two support arms 2 that are far apart from each other. Movable grooves 7 are respectively opened on the side of the two movable bars 6 that are far apart from each other. Several fixed grooves 701 are equidistantly provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner walls of the two movable grooves 7. Movable blocks 3 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two movable grooves 7. Buffer blocks 105 are rotatably connected to the front of the two movable blocks 3 via rotating shafts. Through grooves 4 are provided on the inner walls of the two movable blocks 3. Translation grooves 301 are provided on the sides of the two movable blocks 3 that are far apart from each other. Through openings 302 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the two movable blocks 3. The two through grooves 4 are connected to the corresponding translation grooves 301 and through openings 302. Translation rods 401 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner walls of the two through grooves 4. Positioning structures 5 are provided on the inner walls of the two through grooves 4.

[0023] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The positioning structure 5 includes a linear motion block 8, which is located on the side of the movable block 3 away from the support arm 2. The outer surface of the linear motion block 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the translation groove 301. A translation component 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the linear motion block 8 away from the movable block 3, and a linear motion arm 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the linear motion block 8 close to the support arm 2.

[0024] The above solution is adopted: by setting the linear motion block 8, when the translation member 9 is pushed forward, it can drive the linear motion block 8 to slide forward in the translation groove 301, and the sliding linear motion block 8 can drive the linear motion arm 10 to move.

[0025] refer to Figure 4 The linear arm 10 is disposed on the inner wall of the through groove 4. The side of the linear arm 10 near the linear block 8 is fixedly connected to the linear block 8. The upper and lower ends of the linear arm 10 near the support arm 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the linear rods 11. The two linear rods 11 are respectively provided with rotating arms 12 on the side that are close to each other.

[0026] The above scheme is adopted: by setting a linear arm 10, the linear arm 10 can be driven by the linear block 8 to move forward in the passage groove 4, and simultaneously drive the movement of two linear rods 11. In this way, the two moving linear rods 11 respectively drive the two rotating arms 12 to rotate.

[0027] refer to Figure 4Two rotating arms 12 are respectively set vertically on the inner wall of the passage groove 4. The two rotating arms 12 are staggered left and right. The ends of the two rotating arms 12 that are far apart from each other are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the passage groove 4 through a rotating shaft. The ends of the two rotating arms 12 that are far apart from each other are respectively attached to two linear rods 11. The ends of the two rotating arms 12 that are far apart from each other are respectively fixedly connected to an extension arm 13.

[0028] The above scheme is adopted: by setting the rotating arm 12, the two linear rods 11 move forward and press the surface of the two rotating arms 12 at the same time, causing the two rotating arms 12 to rotate in a staggered relative manner, so that the two rotating arms 12 can drive the two extension arms 13 to rotate in turn when rotating.

[0029] refer to Figure 4 The front ends of the two extension arms 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the back of the two rotating arms 12 at opposite ends. The surfaces of the two extension arms 13 are respectively provided with force grooves 14. The inner walls of the two force grooves 14 are respectively fitted with force rods 15. The outer surfaces of the two force rods 15 are respectively fixedly connected with force arms 16.

[0030] The above solution is adopted: by setting up extension arms 13, the two extension arms 13, during rotation, squeeze the two force rods 15 through the force grooves 14 respectively to move closer, and the two force rods 15 respectively drive the two force arms 16 to move closer.

[0031] refer to Figure 4 The two force-applying arms 16 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the translation rod 401 in the middle. A fixing spring 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the two force-applying arms 16 that is close to each other. The fixing spring 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the translation rod 401. A fixing block 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the two force-applying arms 16 that is far away from each other.

[0032] The above scheme is adopted: by setting up the force-applying arms 16, the two force-applying arms 16 can be driven by the force-applying rod 15 respectively, slide closer on the translation rod 401, and compress the fixed spring 17. The two force-applying arms 16 slide and then drive the two fixed blocks 18 to move closer.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The ends of the two fixing blocks 18 that are far apart from each other extend through the through-hole 302 into the inner wall of the groove 4, and the ends of the two fixing blocks 18 that are far apart from each other are respectively inserted into the inner wall of the fixing groove 701.

[0034] The above solution is adopted: by setting fixed blocks 18, the two fixed blocks 18 move away from each other and disengage from the fixed groove 701 to release the fixed limit on the movable block 3. In this way, the movable block 3 can slide in the movable groove 7 and drive the buffer block 105 to move.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model:

[0036] In use, the curved glass pieces to be stored are placed sequentially on the placement rack 1, ensuring they adhere to the buffer pad 104. Simultaneously, the bottom of the curved glass is pressed against the rubber strip 102, whose slope prevents the glass from slipping. Then, the translation component 9 is pushed forward, causing the linear block 8 to slide forward in the translation groove 301 and move forward in the passage groove 4. Simultaneously, the two linear rods 11 move forward, pressing against the surfaces of the two rotating arms 12, causing them to rotate relative to each other. During this rotation, the two extension arms 13 follow suit. As the extension arms 13 rotate, they press against the two force-applying rods 15 via the force-applying groove 14, causing them to move closer. The force-applying rods 15 then slide closer on the translation rod 401, pressing against the two force-applying arms 16 as they slide closer. The fixed spring 17 is compressed, which drives the two fixed blocks 18 to disengage from the fixed groove 701 and retract through the through groove 4 via the through port 302, thereby releasing the fixed limit on the movable block 3. Then, the movable block 3 can be pushed to slide in the movable groove 7, thereby driving the buffer block 105 to move closer to the placed curved glass and to press against the surface of the curved glass. Then, the translation member 9 is released, causing the fixed spring 17 to push the two force arms 16 to slide away, and drive the two fixed blocks 18 to insert into the fixed groove 701, thereby fixing and limiting the movable block 3. The above operation is repeated, and the other movable block 3 is released and slid, driving the buffer block 105 to press against the surface of the curved glass and then fixing it. In this way, the two buffer blocks 105 can respectively position the two ends of the curved glass. Finally, the placement frame 1 can be pushed by the two support arms 2 or support bars 103, and the positioned curved glass can be moved and transported with the help of the moving wheels 101.

[0037] In summary, this curved glass storage and transport rack, through the coordinated operation of the placement rack 1, support arm 2, movable block 3, passage groove 4, and positioning structure 5, solves the problem that when transporting curved glass, if no positioning measures are taken, the curved glass is easily impacted by shaking or tilting during transportation, increasing the chance of collision and friction, and raising the risk of breakage.
