Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a material rack for placing workpieces, which can be widely used in other areas of automotive production where frequent workpiece switching and retrieval are required. The workpiece can be a common automotive component or other parts. This embodiment uses a front axle as an example. The outline of the front axle is roughly the same for different vehicle models, but the specific dimensions may vary slightly. The front axle is a device that transmits forces in all directions between the vehicle frame and the front wheels, as well as the resulting bending moments and torques. It includes the front axle, steering knuckle, and vehicle frame. The front axle is mounted on the vehicle frame, and the steering knuckle is mounted on the front axle; existing front axle structures can be referenced.

[0038] The frame assembly comprises a main body 1, a support component 2, and an adjustment component 3. The support component 2 includes a support block 21 and a support seat 22. The support block 21 is fixed to the support seat 22, and the support seat 22 is slidably mounted on the main body 1. The support block 21 supports the workpiece. The adjustment component 3 includes an adjustment plate 31 and an adjustment element 32. The adjustment element 32 is mounted on the support seat 22, and the adjustment plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the main body 1. The adjustment plate 31 has multiple adjustment notches 311, which are spaced apart along the sliding direction of the support seat 22. The adjustment element 32 can selectively correspond to the adjustment notches 311. By sliding the support seat 22, the support block 21 is slid to accommodate workpieces of different sizes. After adjusting the position of the support seat 22 according to the size of the workpiece, the adjustment element 32 is placed in the adjustment notch 311 so that the support seat 22 is positioned on the adjustment plate 31, thereby facilitating the placement of the workpiece on the support block 21 and ensuring the stability of the workpiece placement. Workpieces of different sizes can be placed on the rack through the cooperation of the support component 2 and the adjustment component 3, without the need to change different racks for different workpieces, thus reducing the investment cost of the rack and improving the production efficiency of the workpieces.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame body 1 includes a base 11 and an upright frame 12. The upright frame 12 is mounted on the base 11, the support seat 22 is slidably mounted on the base 11, and the adjustment plate 31 is fixedly installed on the base 11.

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the adjusting component 32 includes an adjusting frame 321 and a positioning roller 322. The positioning roller 322 is disposed on the adjusting frame 321, which is disposed on the support base 22. The positioning roller 322 can selectively correspond to the adjusting notch 311. When the positioning roller 322 is disposed within the adjusting notch 311, the support component 2 can be positioned on the base 11. After the position of the support base 22 is adjusted according to the size of the workpiece, the adjusting component 32 is disposed within the adjusting notch 311 so that the support base 22 is positioned on the adjusting plate 31, thereby facilitating the placement of the workpiece on the support block 21 and ensuring the stability of the workpiece placement.

[0041] Furthermore, the adjusting frame 321 is rotatably mounted on the support 22. The rotation of the adjusting frame 321 causes the positioning roller 322 to switch between disengaging from and engaging with the adjusting notch 311. When the positioning roller 322 is engaged within the adjusting notch 311, the support 22 is positioned on the base 11 of the frame body 1. When the positioning roller 322 disengages from the adjusting notch 311, the support 22 slides relative to the base 11, causing the support block 21 and the adjusting component 32 to slide, thereby adjusting the position of the support block 21 according to the size of the workpiece.

[0042] In this embodiment, there is one positioning roller 322, which can selectively correspond to one of the adjustment notches 311. With this arrangement, when rotating the adjustment bracket 321, only a small rotation angle is needed to disengage the positioning roller 322 from the adjustment notch 311.

[0043] In other optional embodiments, the number of positioning rollers 322 is at least two. Along the sliding direction of the support 22, the positioning rollers 322 are spaced apart on the adjustment frame 321, and each adjustment notch 311 can accommodate a positioning roller 322. That is, once the positioning roller 322 at the farthest end of the adjustment frame 321 has determined its corresponding adjustment notch 311, the other positioning rollers 322 also find their corresponding adjustment notches 311. Each adjustment notch 311 can only accommodate one positioning roller 322. This requires that the distance between adjacent positioning rollers 322 is an integer multiple of the distance between adjacent adjustment notches 311, and that the positioning rollers 322 and adjustment notches 311 are equally spaced. This arrangement increases the stability of the positioning of the adjustment member 32 within the adjustment notch 311, thereby ensuring the stability of the positioning of the support 22 and the base 11.

[0044] Furthermore, the adjustment frame 321 includes a connecting part 3212 and a transition part 3213 connected to each other. The transition part 3213 is rotatably mounted on the support seat 22, and the positioning roller 322 is mounted on the connecting part 3212.

[0045] Furthermore, the adjustment component 3 also includes a fixing seat 33, which is fixedly installed on the support seat 22, and the adapter 3213 is rotatably disposed on the fixing seat 33.

[0046] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 3 also includes a rotating shaft 34, which is mounted on the fixed base 33, and the adapter 3213 is rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft 34.

[0047] Furthermore, the adjustment frame 321 also includes a force-applying part 3211, which is connected to the adapter part 3213. The force-applying part 3211 and the connecting part 3212 are respectively located at both ends of the adapter part 3213. The force-applying part 3211 is the power source of the adjustment frame 321. The operator can step on the force-applying part 3211, which rotates around the rotating shaft 34. The positioning roller 322 tilts upward, thereby disengaging the positioning roller 322 from the adjustment notch 311. The operator slides the support seat 22 to a new position and removes the force applied by the foot to the force-applying part 3211. The positioning roller 322 falls downward, causing it to re-enter the adjustment notch 311 and be positioned by it. This design eliminates the need for the operator to bend over, improving the operator's work efficiency and the flexibility of the production line.

[0048] Furthermore, the support component 2 also includes a guide rail 23, which is fixedly installed on the frame body 1, and the support seat 22 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 23, with the guide rail 23 serving as a guide for the support seat 22.

[0049] Furthermore, the support block 21 has a support cavity 211, and the contour of the position where the workpiece contacts the support cavity 211 matches the contour of the support cavity 211. Specifically, the support block 21 is used to support the control arm of the steering knuckle of the front axle.

[0050] Furthermore, multiple support blocks 21 can be provided on the support seat 22, and the contours of the support cavity 211 of each support block 21 can be different to support different positions of the workpiece.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the material rack also includes a limiting component 4, which includes a pressure block 41. The pressure block 41 is disposed on the rack body 1 and can press the workpiece. Specifically, the pressure block 41 is used to press the top of the steering knuckle of the front axle to prevent the front axle from vertically jumping.

[0052] Furthermore, the limiting component 4 also includes a pressure rod 42, which is mounted on the upright frame 12, and a pressure block 41 is mounted on the pressure rod 42.

[0053] Furthermore, the material rack also includes a first support block 5, which is fixedly mounted on the base 11 and is used to support the workpiece. Specifically, the first support block 5 is used to support the front axle of the front axle.

[0054] Furthermore, the first support block 5 has a first support cavity 51, and the contour of the position where the workpiece contacts the first support cavity 51 is adapted to the contour of the first support cavity 51. In this embodiment, the contour of the first support cavity 51 is adapted to the contour of the front axle of the front axle.

[0055] Furthermore, the rack also includes a second support block 6, which is fixedly mounted on the base 11 and is used to support the workpiece. Specifically, the second support block 6 is used to support the frame of the front axle.

[0056] Furthermore, the second support block 6 has a second support cavity 61, and the contour of the position where the workpiece contacts the second support cavity 61 is adapted to the contour of the second support cavity 61. In this embodiment, the contour of the second support cavity 61 is adapted to the contour of the front axle frame.

[0057] In this embodiment, the workpieces and work groups are set in a one-to-one correspondence. Multiple work groups can be set on the frame body 1 along the sliding direction of the support 22.

[0058] Furthermore, along the direction perpendicular to the sliding of the support 22, each workpiece has a support component 2 and an adjustment component 3 at opposite ends, and each workpiece corresponds to at least two pressure blocks 41. That is to say, the working group includes two sets of support components 2, two sets of adjustment components 3, and at least two sets of limiting components 4.

[0059] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions, specific embodiments, and experiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
