AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When panels are placed in the vertical panel rack, they are easily damaged by hitting the front end of the vertical support, especially when the ground is uneven or the panels are deformed.

Method used

Guide components (such as guide wheels) are used to guide the plate in front of the vertical support. The guide components are made of soft materials such as nylon and are equipped with soft side guards such as soft brushes to prevent the plate from directly impacting the support. The guide components and side guards work together to keep the plate upright.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevents the boards from impacting the front face of the vertical support during placement, protecting the boards from damage and ensuring smooth storage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of panel production and processing, and in particular to a vertical panel rack. Background Technology

[0002] During the sheet metal production process, mechanical grippers clamp the sheet metal (particleboard) into a vertical sheet metal rack for temporary storage. The existing vertical sheet metal rack includes a base plate, above which multiple rigid vertical supports are arranged at intervals on the left and right. Between adjacent vertical supports, there is a forward-facing opening for inserting the sheet metal from front to back. Flexible side supports are provided on the sides of the vertical supports facing the opening to prevent the sheet metal from being placed in the opening and to keep it upright. Because the vertical supports are made of rigid metal, if the ground on which the vertical sheet metal rack is installed is not level, causing the supports to be not vertical enough, and if the sheet metal itself is deformed (such as bow-shaped deformation), the sheet metal may easily hit the front end of the vertical support when being fed into the opening by the mechanical grippers, causing damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vertical panel rack to prevent panels from being damaged by hitting the front end of the vertical support during the process of placing them into the panel rack.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a vertical panel rack, including a base plate, with multiple rigid vertical supports arranged horizontally at intervals on the top of the base plate. An open space with a forward opening is formed between two adjacent vertical supports for placing and storing panels from front to back. A guide is provided in front of the vertical supports to guide the panels horizontally into the open space.

[0005] Furthermore, the vertical support extends forward with a horizontal stop that blocks the side of the plate stored in the open space to prevent the plate from tilting, and the guide is installed in front of the horizontal stop.

[0006] Furthermore, the guide component is specifically a horizontally placed guide wheel, which is positioned directly in front of the horizontal stop and rotates around its own vertical axis to guide the plate horizontally into the open space.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide wheel is wider than the crossbar.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide wheel is made of a soft material.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide wheel is made of nylon.

[0010] Furthermore, a first flexible side stop is installed on the adjacent sides of two adjacent vertical supports, and / or a second flexible side stop is installed on the adjacent sides of two adjacent horizontal stops.

[0011] Furthermore, the first soft side guard and / or the second soft side guard are soft brushes.

[0012] Furthermore, the vertical bracket has first mounting slots on both the left and right sides, through which the first flexible side stop is installed.

[0013] Furthermore, second mounting slots are provided on both the left and right sides of the crossbar, through which the second flexible side guard is installed.

[0014] Beneficial effect: The guide component protects the plate in front of the vertical bracket and guides the plate laterally into the open space, preventing the plate from hitting the front face of the vertical bracket and causing damage. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Vertical panel racks, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a base plate 1, above which are four rigid vertical supports 2 arranged horizontally at intervals. A forward-facing opening 3 is formed between adjacent vertical supports 2 for storing plates. Each vertical support 2 has two horizontal supports 21 extending forward, one vertically and one horizontally, with a gap 7 between adjacent horizontal supports 21 connecting to the opening 3. A plate 5 is held by a mechanical gripper (not shown in the attached diagram), passing through the gap 7 and inserted from front to back until it is inserted into the opening 3. The mechanical gripper then releases the plate 5, storing it in the opening 3. The horizontal supports 21 laterally block the rear side of the plate 5 stored in the opening 3 to prevent it from tilting. See [link to diagram]. Figure 2The vertical bracket 2 has first mounting slots 6 on both sides. The two central vertical brackets 2 have soft brushes 201 installed in the first mounting slots 6 on both sides. The leftmost and rightmost vertical brackets 2 only have soft brushes 201 installed in the first mounting slots 6 on the side facing the open portion 3. Thus, each open portion 3 has soft brushes 201 on both sides. The horizontal block 21 has second mounting slots 8 on both sides. The two central horizontal block 21 have soft brushes 211 installed in the second mounting slots 8 on both sides. The leftmost and rightmost horizontal block 21 only have soft brushes 211 installed in the second mounting slots 8 on the side facing the gap 7. Thus, each gap 7 has soft brushes 211 on both sides. The soft brush 201 installed in the first mounting slot 6 serves as the first soft support, and the soft brush 211 installed in the second mounting slot 8 serves as the second soft support. Together, they block the plate 5 located in the open space 3, keeping the plate 5 upright.

[0021] If the ground is uneven, causing the vertical support 2 to be not vertical enough, and the plate 5 itself is deformed (the deformation is not significant), the plate 5 may easily hit the front of the horizontal stop 21 and be damaged when it is placed into the open space 3 from front to back. Therefore, a horizontally placed guide wheel 4 is installed in front of the horizontal stop 21. This guide wheel is wider than the horizontal stop 21, ensuring that the plate 5 will only hit the guide wheel 4 and not the front end of the horizontal stop 21 when placed into the open space 3 from front to back, thus preventing damage to the plate 5. If the guide wheel 4 is hit by the plate 5, it will rotate around its own vertical axis due to the friction caused by the backward movement of the plate 5. This acts as a guide, guiding the plate 5 laterally towards the center of the gap 7, allowing it to be smoothly placed into the open space 3. The guide wheel 4 is made of nylon, but other soft materials can also be used.

[0022] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
