Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine connecting rod manufacturing technology, and in particular to a transfer and storage rack for engine connecting rod manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] The connecting rod is an important component of the engine. Its main function is to convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. The small end of the connecting rod is connected to the piston pin, and the large end is connected to the connecting rod journal of the crankshaft (both the large and small ends are hollow inside). During the production of engine connecting rods, transfer racks are needed to transport the engine connecting rods (for example, to transport engine connecting rods to the assembly workshop).

[0003] Chinese patent CN219770554U discloses a transfer and storage rack for engine connecting rod production. It includes a base plate, with rollers fixed to the bottom of the base plate, a storage compartment fixed to the top of the base plate, handrails fixed to the side walls of the storage compartment, an engine connecting rod body placed inside the storage compartment, and an adjustment mechanism installed inside the storage compartment.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, when transferring engine connecting rods, the connecting rods are stacked together. On the one hand, stacked connecting rods are prone to mutual compression and friction, which can easily cause scratches on the surface of the connecting rods, especially when the transfer frame collides. On the other hand, when the connecting rods are stacked, the weight of the upper connecting rod can easily cause deformation of the lower connecting rod. Therefore, a technical measure is proposed to solve the problems of mutual compression and friction when the connecting rods are stacked together, which can easily cause scratches on the surface of the connecting rods, and the problem of deformation of the lower connecting rod when the connecting rods are stacked. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a transfer and storage rack for engine connecting rod production to solve the problems that, under the existing technology, connecting rods stacked together are prone to mutual compression and friction, which can easily cause scratches on the surface of the connecting rods. When connecting rods are stacked, the weight of the upper connecting rod can easily cause the lower connecting rod to deform.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A transfer and storage rack for engine connecting rod production includes a housing with an opening at the top. Two sets of symmetrically distributed vertical blocks are mounted on the upper surface of the housing. Multiple sets of evenly distributed slots are formed on the sides of the vertical blocks. A central hole is formed at the top of each vertical block, and a pin is movably connected to the central hole. A connecting rod limiting component is movably mounted on each vertical block through the slots and the pin. Thanks to the connecting rod limiting component, the connecting rods are prevented from piling up and being squeezed during transfer, thereby avoiding friction between the connecting rods, protecting the connecting rods, and preventing the upper connecting rod from squeezing and deforming the lower connecting rod. At the same time, the soft pads allow for flexible contact with the connecting rods when they shake during transfer, preventing damage to the connecting rods and further protecting them.

[0008] Optionally, a base plate is installed on the lower surface of the housing.

[0009] Optionally, multiple sets of evenly distributed casters are installed on the lower surface of the base plate.

[0010] Optionally, two sets of symmetrically distributed vertical plates are installed at one end of the upper surface of the base plate.

[0011] Optionally, multiple sets of evenly distributed push rods are installed on the side of the vertical plates that are close to each other.

[0012] Optionally, the connecting rod limiting assembly includes a retaining plate, which is H-shaped and fits into a retaining slot. The upper surface of the retaining plate has two sets of symmetrically distributed insertion holes.

[0013] Optionally, the socket and the pin are slidably adapted.

[0014] Optionally, multiple sets of evenly distributed boxes are installed on both sides of the card plate. A sliding groove is formed on the upper surface of the box, and a pull plate is slidably connected to the sliding groove. A limit rod is installed at the lower part of the pull plate, and the limit rod is slidably connected to the box. A spring is installed on the side of the pull plate away from the limit rod, and the other end of the spring is installed inside the box. A hanging plate is installed at the lower part of the box away from the card plate.

[0015] Optionally, multiple sets of evenly distributed clamping plates are installed on both sides of the card plate.

[0016] Optionally, soft pads are installed on both sides of the clamping plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In the above solution, the height of the connecting rod limiting component can be easily adjusted by setting up a pin, a vertical block, and a slot, thereby facilitating the adaptation to connecting rods of different sizes and improving practicality. Pull the pin out upwards, and then snap the connecting rod limiting component into the slot to re-limit it.

[0019] By setting up the connecting rod limiting component, the connecting rods are prevented from piling up and squeezing during transport, thus avoiding friction between the connecting rods, protecting them, and preventing the upper connecting rod from squeezing and deforming the lower connecting rod. At the same time, the soft pad is set up so that when the connecting rod shakes during transport, the soft pad makes flexible contact with the connecting rod to prevent damage to the connecting rod, further protecting the connecting rod. The locking plate is inserted into the locking slot, and then the pin is inserted into the insertion hole to complete the adjustment of the locking plate height. Then the connecting rod is picked up, and then the pull plate is pulled to drive the limiting rod into the box. Then the large end or small end of the connecting rod is placed into the hanging plate, and then the pull plate is released. Under the rebound action of the spring, the limiting rod is driven back to its original position to restrict the connecting rod. During transportation, when the connecting rod shakes, if the amplitude is large, the connecting rod will directly collide with the soft pad. Attached Figure Description

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a transfer and storage rack for engine connecting rod production, including a box body 1. The box body 1 has an opening at the top. Two sets of symmetrically distributed vertical blocks 7 are installed on the upper surface of the box body 1. Multiple sets of evenly distributed slots 10 are opened on the side of the vertical blocks 7. A central hole 9 is opened at the upper end of the vertical blocks 7. A pin 8 is movably connected to the central hole 9. A connecting rod limiting assembly 2 is movably installed on the vertical blocks 7 through the slots 10 and the pin 8. A base plate 3 is installed on the lower surface of the box body 1. Multiple sets of evenly distributed casters 4 are installed on the lower surface of the base plate 3. Two sets of symmetrically distributed vertical plates 5 are installed at one end of the upper surface of the base plate 3. Multiple sets of evenly distributed push rods are installed on the side of the vertical plates 5 that are close to each other. 6. When actually transporting the engine connecting rod, adjust the height of the connecting rod limiting component 2 according to the height of the connecting rod. Specifically, pull the pin 8 upward to release and re-limit the connecting rod limiting component 2, then snap the connecting rod limiting component 2 into the corresponding slot 10, and then use the pin 8 to limit it, thus completing the height adjustment of the connecting rod limiting component 2 (to prevent the bottom of the connecting rod from colliding or scratching with the bottom of the housing 1, and to protect the connecting rod). Then hang the connecting rod on the connecting rod limiting component 2, and then move the base plate 3, housing 1, and casters 4 through the push rod 6. When the connecting rod shakes during the movement, the connecting rod limiting component 2 will make a flexible collision with the connecting rod to prevent damage to the connecting rod.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the connecting rod limiting assembly 2 includes a locking plate 201, which is H-shaped and fits into the locking slot 10. Two sets of symmetrically distributed insertion holes 202 are formed on the upper surface of the locking plate 201, and these insertion holes 202 are slidably fitted with the pins 8. Multiple sets of evenly distributed boxes 205 are installed on the sides of both ends of the locking plate 201. A sliding groove 206 is formed on the upper surface of each box 205, and a pull plate 208 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 206. The pull plate 208... A limit rod 207 is installed on the part, and the limit rod 207 is slidably connected to the box body 205. A spring 209 is installed on the side of the pull plate 208 away from the limit rod 207, and the other end of the spring 209 is installed inside the box body 205. A hanging plate 203 is installed on the lower part of the box body 205 away from the clamping plate 201. Multiple sets of evenly distributed clamping plates 210 are installed on the sides of both ends of the clamping plate 201, and soft pads 204 are installed on the sides of both ends of the clamping plates 210 to hold the clamping plate 201 in place. 01. Insert the clip 10 into the slot, then insert the pin 8 into the socket 202 to adjust the height of the clip 201. Then pick up the connecting rod and pull the pull plate 208. The pull plate 208 moves and compresses the spring 209. The movement of the pull plate 208 causes the limit rod 207 to retract into the box 205. Then, put the large end or small end of the connecting rod into the hanging plate 203 (the large end and small end of the connecting rod are hollow). Then release the pull plate 208. Under the rebound of the spring 209, the limit rod 207 returns to its original position, limiting the connecting rod (when transporting within the factory, the ground is relatively flat, and the connecting rod will not detach from the hanging plate 203. However, in the event of a collision, the connecting rod may move upward. The limit rod 207 limits the upward movement of the connecting rod). During transportation, when the connecting rod shakes, if the amplitude is large, the connecting rod will directly collide with the soft pad 204. The soft pad 204 makes flexible contact with the connecting rod to prevent damage to the connecting rod.

[0036] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0037] When actually transporting the engine connecting rod, the height of the connecting rod limiting component 2 is adjusted according to the height of the connecting rod. Specifically, the pin 8 is pulled upward to release and re-limit the connecting rod limiting component 2. Then, the connecting rod limiting component 2 is inserted into the corresponding slot 10, and then the pin 8 is used to limit it, thus completing the height adjustment of the connecting rod limiting component 2 (to prevent the bottom of the connecting rod from colliding or scratching with the bottom of the housing 1, protecting the connecting rod). Then, the connecting rod is hung on the connecting rod limiting component 2, and then the push rod 6 drives the base plate 3, housing 1, and casters 4 to move. When the connecting rod shakes during the movement, the connecting rod limiting component 2 and the connecting rod will have a flexible collision to prevent damage to the connecting rod. The setting of the pin 8, vertical block 7, and slot 10 makes it easy to adjust the height of the connecting rod limiting component 2, thereby accommodating connecting rods of different sizes and improving practicality.

[0038] The specific working method of the connecting rod limiting assembly 2 is as follows: The locking plate 201 is inserted into the locking slot 10, and then the pin 8 is inserted into the insertion hole 202 to adjust the height of the locking plate 201. Then, the connecting rod is lifted, and the pull plate 208 is pulled. The pull plate 208 moves and compresses the spring 209. The movement of the pull plate 208 causes the limiting rod 207 to retract into the housing 205. Then, the large or small end of the connecting rod is placed into the hanging plate 203 (both the large and small ends of the connecting rod are hollow). Then, the pull plate 208 is released. Under the rebound action of the spring 209, the limiting rod 207 returns to its original position, thus limiting the connecting rod. (During internal transport within the factory, the ground is relatively flat, and the connecting rod will not move out of the hanging plate 203). The connecting rod is detached from the center, but in the event of a collision, the connecting rod may move upward (the limiting rod 207 restricts the upward movement of the connecting rod). During transportation, if the connecting rod shakes, and the amplitude is large, the connecting rod will directly collide with the soft pad 204. The soft pad 204 makes flexible contact with the connecting rod to prevent damage to the connecting rod. Through the setting of the connecting rod limiting component 2, the connecting rod is prevented from piling up and squeezing during the transfer of the connecting rod, thereby avoiding friction between the connecting rods, protecting the connecting rod, and preventing the upper connecting rod from squeezing and deforming the lower connecting rod. At the same time, through the setting of the soft pad 204, when the connecting rod shakes during the transfer of the connecting rod, the soft pad 204 makes flexible contact with the connecting rod to prevent damage to the connecting rod, further protecting the connecting rod.

[0039] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
