Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelving technology, specifically to an NPS drum stacking rack with adjustable spacing. Background Technology
[0002] NPS cable spools are typically made of plastic and are used for winding cables. After the cables are wound up in the NPS spools, they need to be stored together. This is usually done by stacking multiple NPS spools on a shelf to make full use of storage space and to facilitate organization and retrieval.
[0003] Conventional shelving is constructed by welding metal sheets and features multiple layers. NPS yarn spools are placed on the trays of each shelf for storage. However, placing NPS yarn spools on conventional shelving requires manual arrangement to ensure they are stacked neatly, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, the welded construction of the shelving makes it difficult to adjust the spacing between trays on adjacent layers, thus requiring further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an NPS drum stacking rack with adjustable spacing, which has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. This NPS drum stacking rack with adjustable spacing uses a drive motor to rotate the drive shaft. The threaded holes in the connecting plate connect to the drive shaft, causing the sliding sleeve at the end of the crossbeam to slide up and down along the slide rail, thus adjusting the spacing between adjacent brackets. After the bracket position is adjusted, bolts are inserted into through holes two and one to temporarily connect the sliding sleeve to the slide rail, limiting the bracket to its current position. This facilitates the adjustment of the spacing between adjacent bracket layers.
[0016] 2. This adjustable spacing NPS spool stacking rack involves placing the NPS spools on top of the flow bar from the front, then pushing the spools backward between the two partitions until they reach the rear baffle. Next, the threaded sleeve is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the front guard plate to move upward. This, combined with the rear baffle, blocks the NPS spools from the front and rear sides. The partitions separate the NPS spools, ensuring neat stacking, and the rear baffle and front guard plate provide stability, placing the spools securely between adjacent partitions.

Detailed Implementation
[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-2An adjustable spacing NPS line drum stacking rack includes four uprights 1 and three sets of brackets arranged in an array between the uprights 1. Each bracket includes two crossbeams 2 distributed front to back. The two ends of the crossbeams 2 are slidably connected to the uprights 1. A slide rail 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the uprights 1 near the end of the crossbeams 2. A sliding sleeve 7 is fixedly installed on the end of the crossbeams 2. The sliding sleeve 7 is fitted on the outside of the slide rail 5 and slides, so that the crossbeams 2 slide relative to the uprights 1 through the sliding sleeve 7 and the slide rail 5, thereby allowing the brackets to slide on the uprights 1 and adjust the spacing between two adjacent brackets.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-2 The slide rail 5 has through holes 6 on its surface, and the slide sleeve 7 has through holes 8 on its surface. The diameters of through holes 6 and 8 are equal, and bolts are inserted into the through holes 6 and 8. The slide sleeve 7 is temporarily connected to the slide rail 5 by bolts to support the bracket and limit its current position.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-2 An arched support plate 3 is arranged on the top of the crossbeam 2. The two ends of the arched support plate 3 are fixedly installed to the two crossbeams 2 respectively. A partition plate 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the arched support plate 3. The NPS line drum is placed on the top of the arched support plate 3 and between two adjacent partition plates 4. The partition plates 4 separate the adjacent NPS line drums to ensure that the NPS line drums are evenly distributed. A flow strip 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the arched support plate 3 and on both sides of the partition plate 4. The flow strip 9 is composed of aluminum alloy slide rails and rollers. The rollers are rotatably connected in the slide rails. The flow strip 9 reduces the friction between the NPS line drum and the arched support plate 3, making it easier to pick up and put down the NPS line drum.
[0026] Please see Figure 2-3 A connecting plate 12 is fixedly installed between the ends of the two crossbeams 2. A drive shaft 11 is provided between the two columns 1 distributed front and rear. One of the drive shafts 11 has three threaded grooves on its surface from bottom to top, and the pitch of the three threaded grooves gradually increases from bottom to top. The connecting plate 12 has a threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the drive shaft 11. A drive motor can be installed at the end of the drive shaft 11. The drive motor drives the drive shaft 11 to rotate, thereby causing the assembly of the connecting plate 12 and the crossbeam 2 to slide up and down along the column 1, adjusting the distance between adjacent brackets.
[0027] Please see Figure 2-3A rear baffle 10 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the bracket. The rear baffle 10 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rear end of the partition plate 4. The flow strip 9 can be set to be inclined with the front higher and the rear lower, so that when the NPS line spool is placed on the top of the flow strip 9, the weight of the NPS line spool will cause it to slide backward and be blocked by the rear baffle 10, so that the NPS line spool is stably placed on the top of the bracket. A limit component is movably connected to the front side of the bracket, and the limit component further blocks and limits the NPS line spool from the front.
[0028] Please see Figure 4 The limiting assembly includes a threaded post 14 fixedly installed on the top of the front crossbeam 2. The top of the threaded post 14 is flush with the top of the arched support plate 3. A threaded sleeve 15 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded post 14. A collar 16 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded sleeve 15. The threaded sleeve 15 and the collar 16 are rotatably connected. Two limiting rings 17 are fixedly installed on the surface of the threaded sleeve 15, which are distributed vertically. The two limiting rings 17 are clamped on the upper and lower sides of the collar 16, limiting the collar 16 and making the collar 16 and the threaded sleeve 15 rotatably connected.
[0029] Please see Figure 4 A front guard plate 18 is fixedly installed on the front side of the collar 16. When the threaded post 14 abuts against the top wall of the threaded sleeve 15, the tops of the threaded sleeve 15 and the front guard plate 18 are flush with the top of the flow bar 9. At this time, the NPS spool can be smoothly placed on top of the flow bar 9 from the front without being blocked by the threaded sleeve 15 or the front guard plate 18. Clamping plates 19 are fixedly installed on the rear sides of both ends of the front guard plate 18. The clamping plates 19 are slidably connected to the front side of the outermost partition plate 4. The clamping plates 19 are Y-shaped, with the top of the clamping plates 19 flush with the top of the front guard plate 18. The two supports of the clamping plates 19 are clamped on both sides of the outermost partition plate 4.
[0030] Working principle: The drive motor drives the drive shaft 11 to rotate. The threaded hole 13 in the connecting plate 12 is threaded to the drive shaft 11, which drives the sliding sleeve 7 at the end of the crossbeam 2 to slide up and down along the slide rail 5, thereby adjusting the distance between adjacent brackets. After the position of the bracket is adjusted, the sliding sleeve 7 is temporarily connected to the slide rail 5 by inserting bolts into the second through hole 8 and the first through hole 6, thus limiting the bracket to the current position.
[0031] Then, rotate the threaded sleeve 15 by hand, so that the threaded sleeve 15 moves up and down along the surface of the threaded post 14. With the connection of the collar 16, it drives the assembly of the front guard plate 18 and the clamping plate 19 to move up and down until the top of the threaded sleeve 15 and the front guard plate 18 are flush with the top of the smooth strip 9.
[0032] Next, place the NPS spool on top of the flow bar 9 from the front, and push the NPS spool backward so that it moves backward between the two partition plates 4 until the NPS spool moves to the rear baffle 10; then rotate the threaded sleeve 15 in the opposite direction to drive the front guard plate 18 to move upward, so that the rear baffle 10 and the front guard plate 18 cooperate to block the front and rear sides of the MPS spool.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
