Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts storage equipment, and in particular to an automotive parts storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] As an important pillar industry of the global economy, the automotive manufacturing industry has maintained a continuous growth trend in recent years. Wheel arches are a common type of automotive parts. Wheel arches are usually installed directly on the edge between the car body and the wheel to prevent mud, water, stones and other debris kicked up by the wheel from splashing onto the car body and causing damage. Currently, when installing wheel arches, manufacturers will place them on shelves in advance in order for workers to pick up. After use, the shelves will be dragged back to the factory area to place the wheel arches again.

[0003] The existing wheel arch shelving is just a simple steel frame, and the shelving is fixed. After installing the upper wheel arches, workers have to frequently bend over to retrieve the lower wheel arches, which reduces work efficiency and poses certain health hazards to workers. Furthermore, because the fixed shelving cannot adjust the gaps between the shelves, only two rows of wheel arches can be placed at a time, reducing the shelving's utilization efficiency. Also, since the shelving is moved by a trolley and lacks protective devices, wheel arches may fall and break during transportation, increasing production costs. Therefore, the above problems need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a storage rack for automotive parts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automotive parts storage rack, comprising a chassis and support rods installed at four ends on the top surface of the chassis. Multiple sets of shelves are installed on the upper end of the chassis, and each shelf is fixedly connected to a limiting ring at all four ends. The limiting rings are sleeved on the outside of the support rods. Universal wheels are installed at all four ends of the bottom surface of the chassis, and a first limiting mechanism is installed at the bottom end of the support rods, and a second limiting mechanism is installed at the top end of the support rods.

[0006] Preferably, the support rod has two sliding grooves for cooperating with the limiting rings, and a third limiting groove is formed in the sliding grooves. The gap between each pair of the third limiting holes is greater than the placement height of the wheel arch.

[0007] Preferably, the shelf is equipped with multiple sets of placement ear plates, the placement ear plates contain car wheel arches, and the highest point of the placement ear plate is flush with the top of the limiting ring.

[0008] Preferably, two limiting blocks are installed on the inner side of the limiting ring, a spring is installed between the rear end of the limiting block and the inner side of the limiting ring, and the limiting blocks are provided with inclined sections on both the top and bottom surfaces.

[0009] Preferably, the first limiting mechanism includes a first cylinder installed on the top surface of the chassis, a first limiting rod installed on the telescopic end of the first cylinder, the first limiting rod being installed on the inner side of the support rod, and a first limiting groove for cooperating with the limiting block being provided on the first limiting rod.

[0010] Preferably, the second limiting mechanism includes an inverted second cylinder installed at the top of the support rod, a second limiting rod installed at the telescopic end of the second cylinder, the second limiting rod being inserted into the support rod, and a second limiting groove for cooperating with the limiting block being provided on the second limiting rod.

[0011] Preferably, a tow hook is fixedly connected to the rear end of the chassis.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, through the cooperation of the third limiting groove, the limiting block, and the limiting ring, facilitates the upward movement of the upper shelf after the upper wheel arch is retrieved, and the lower shelf is moved to the position of the upper shelf, thus facilitating the retrieval of the wheel arch. This not only speeds up the retrieval of the wheel arch but also protects the health of the workers. Furthermore, the cooperation of the limiting ring and the support rod allows manufacturers to adjust the distance between shelves, thereby allowing for the installation of more shelves and improving shelf utilization efficiency. The limiting ring, flush with the height of the ear plate, helps to secure the wheel arch, preventing it from falling off and increasing production costs due to damage. Ultimately, this solves the problems of low shelf utilization efficiency, inconvenient wheel arch retrieval, and wheel arch damage during transport caused by the inability to adjust the height of existing shelves.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example: See Figure 1-7 This utility model discloses an automotive parts storage rack, comprising a chassis 1 and support rods 2 mounted on the four ends of the top surface of the chassis 1. The chassis 1 facilitates the installation of the support rods 2; the support rods 2 facilitate the installation of shelves 3; multiple shelves 3 are mounted on the upper end of the chassis 1, and the shelves 3 facilitate the installation of limiting rings 4; each of the four ends of the shelf 3 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 4, which facilitates the engagement with a first limiting groove, a second limiting groove, and a third limiting groove; the limiting rings 4 are sleeved on the outside of the support rods 2, and each of the four ends of the bottom surface of the chassis 1 is equipped with casters 5, which facilitate the movement of the storage rack with the help of a tow hook 13; a first limiting mechanism is installed at the bottom end of the support rods 2, and a second limiting mechanism is installed at the top end of the support rods 2. The mechanism includes two sliding grooves on the support rod 2 that mate with the limiting ring 4. A third limiting groove is formed within each sliding groove. The gap between any two third limiting holes is greater than the height of the wheel arch. Multiple sets of placement ear plates 6 are installed on the shelf 3 to facilitate the placement of the wheel arch. The wheel arch is placed inside the placement ear plate 6, and the highest point of the placement ear plate 6 is flush with the top of the limiting ring 4. Two limiting blocks 7 are installed inside the limiting ring 4, which facilitate the limiting of the shelf 3 by the first, second, and third limiting grooves. A spring 8 is installed between the rear end of the limiting block 7 and the inner side of the limiting ring 4, which drives the limiting block 7 to extend and retract. The limiting block 7 has inclined sections on both its top and bottom surfaces.

[0024] In this utility model, the first limiting mechanism includes a first cylinder 9 installed on the top surface of the chassis 1, which facilitates changing the height of the first limiting rod 10; the first limiting rod 10 is installed at the telescopic end of the first cylinder 9, which facilitates closing the third limiting groove; the first limiting rod 10 is installed on the inner side of the support rod 2, and a first limiting groove for cooperating with the limiting block 7 is provided on the first limiting rod 10; the second limiting mechanism includes an inverted second cylinder 11 installed at the top of the support rod 2, which facilitates changing the height of the second limiting rod 12; the second limiting rod 12 is installed at the telescopic end of the second cylinder 11, which facilitates driving the empty shelf 3 to descend; the second limiting rod 12 is inserted into the support rod 2, and a second limiting groove for cooperating with the limiting block 7 is provided on the second limiting rod 12; a tow hook 13 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the chassis 1, which facilitates moving the shelf 3.

[0025] Working principle: When using this utility model, the manufacturer places the storage rack at the workstation using the tow hook 13 and the casters 5. During transportation, due to the narrow spacing between the shelves 3, it is insufficient to support the direct removal of the wheel arches, thus preventing the wheel arches from falling off during transportation. The staff takes the upper wheel arches for installation. After the upper wheel arches are used, the shelf 3 is moved upwards. With the cooperation of the inclined section, the limiting block 7 retracts inwards, and the limiting ring 4 leaves the third limiting groove and engages with the second limiting groove, moving the lower shelf 3 upwards for continued installation. After all the wheel arches are installed, the manufacturer pulls the storage rack back and starts the first cylinder 9. The first cylinder 9 drives the first limit rod 10 to descend. At this time, the overlapping first limit groove and the third limit groove are disengaged, and the first limit rod 10 blocks the third limit groove. Then, the second cylinder 11 is started. The second cylinder 11 drives the second limit rod 12 to change its height, and at the same time, the limit block 7 is released. All the shelves 3 fall to the bottom at the same time. Then the device is reset, the shelves 3 are placed in their original positions, the wheel arches are added, and then it is pulled back to the work station.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
