Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of auxiliary tools, specifically the field of storage tools, and more specifically relates to a storage rack for pipe production. Background Technology
[0002] In the pipe manufacturing process, the storage and transportation of pipes are relatively critical aspects. Traditionally, flatbed trucks are used for both storage and transportation. However, flatbed trucks have significant drawbacks. Firstly, as the number of pipes stacked on a flatbed truck increases, they are prone to slipping off, affecting the safety of storage and transportation and reducing the amount of pipes that can be stored on a single truck. Secondly, existing flatbed trucks cannot be stacked, occupying a significant amount of floor space when parked in factories or warehouses, resulting in a waste of warehousing resources.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies use railings on flatbed trucks to prevent pipes from slipping. While this increases the storage capacity per layer to some extent, it still fails to solve the problem of low space utilization. Therefore, an innovative pipe storage solution is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the technical problem of limited storage space for pipes on flatbed trucks and the waste of space caused by the inability to stack them, by providing a pipe production storage rack. It utilizes a barrier assembly to increase the pipe storage capacity of a single-layer support platform, and the cooperative structure of the connecting columns and grooves of the uprights enables safe stacking of the support platform, thereby improving space utilization.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a pipe production storage rack is provided, including a support platform and at least two guardrail components, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the support platform; the guardrail components include columns fixedly installed with the outer wall of the support platform, a connecting column is coaxially fixedly installed on the top surface of the column, and a connecting groove is coaxially provided on the bottom surface; inclined tie beams are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the column, and the inclined tie beams are fixedly installed with the support platform, and the bottom of the inclined tie beams extends to the bottom surface of the support platform and is equipped with support wheels.
[0006] The uprights and diagonal bracing of the guardrail assembly enclose the sides of the load-bearing platform, preventing the pipes from rolling off after loading onto the platform and increasing the load-bearing capacity. The diagonal bracing, fixedly connected to the uprights, is secured to the load-bearing platform, enhancing the installation strength between the uprights and the platform. The diagonal bracing extends to the bottom of the load-bearing platform and is equipped with support wheels to support the platform and facilitate its transport. When stacking the load-bearing platforms to fully utilize space, the stacked uprights support the platforms, and the interlocking posts and slots on the uprights restrict the movement of the platforms, ensuring the stability and safety of the stacking. The inclined design of the diagonal bracing does not interfere with the stacking of the uprights, ensuring the reliability of the stacking.
[0007] To further optimize this technical solution, the column is a "T" shaped structure, including a vertical beam that is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bearing platform with the aid of fittings. A horizontal beam is fixedly connected to the top surface of the vertical beam. A docking groove is coaxially set on the bottom surface of the vertical beam. A docking column is fixedly connected to the top surface of the horizontal beam. All the diagonal tie beams are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the horizontal beam and fixedly connected to the bearing platform with bolts.
[0008] The T-shaped structure of the column provides an installation position for the diagonal tie beams and increases the support area for the vertical beams when the load-bearing platforms are stacked, ensuring reliability. The diagonal tie beams installed on the horizontal beams are fixed to the load-bearing platforms with bolts, ensuring the stability of the vertical beam installation.
[0009] To further optimize this technical solution, the assembly includes two wing plates fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the vertical beam, and the wing plates are tightened and fixed to the bearing platform by bolts.
[0010] The vertical beam is fixedly installed to the load-bearing platform by bolts on the flange. The flange does not interfere with the use of the docking groove on the vertical beam, ensuring the effectiveness of use.
[0011] To further optimize this technical solution, slots are provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the crossbeam, and the diagonal tie beams are respectively inserted into the slots and locked and fixed to the crossbeam by means of locking components.
[0012] The slots facilitate the positioning of the tie beams, making the fixing and installation of the tie beams and crossbeams easier.
[0013] To further optimize this technical solution, the locking component includes bolts threaded onto the top and side surfaces of the crossbeam. All bolts are inserted into slots and tightened to the inclined tie beam for fixation.
[0014] The cable-stayed beam is fixed to the crossbeam with multiple bolts to enhance the stability of its installation and ensure its safety and reliability in use.
[0015] To further optimize this technical solution, each of the docking grooves is slidably inserted with a support column, and the outer wall of the vertical beam is provided with a vertical groove, which is connected to the docking groove. A connecting column slides in the vertical groove, passes through the docking groove and is fixedly connected to the support column. The connecting column protrudes from the outer wall of the vertical beam and is threaded with a locking nut.
[0016] The connecting column allows for adjustment of the support column's position. After the support column is pushed out of the docking slot and makes contact with the support surface, the locking nut is tightened to lock the connecting column, thus restricting its position and supporting the load-bearing platform. This prevents the load-bearing platform from moving arbitrarily and facilitates the loading of pipes. When stacking load-bearing platforms, the support column extends out of the docking slot, facilitating position guidance for the load-bearing platform. Once the platform aligns with the docking column, the load-bearing platform can be lowered, making it flexible to use.
[0017] To further optimize this technical solution, sleeves are slidably fitted onto the outer walls of the cable-stayed beams, and tightening bolts are threaded onto the outer walls of the sleeves. Furthermore, a retractor is fixedly installed on the outer walls of the sleeves, and strapping is wrapped around the retractor.
[0018] After the pipes are loaded onto the support platform, the sleeve moves along the inclined tie beam and the position of the sleeve is locked by the tightening bolt. Then the binding strap is pulled out from the retractor and wrapped around other inclined tie beams to bind the pipes on the support platform, thereby ensuring the safety of the pipes during transport.
[0019] To further optimize this technical solution, the support wheel is a swivel wheel, and a pressure sensor is integrated on the wheel frame of the swivel wheel.
[0020] The casters facilitate the movement of the platform, and the pressure sensors integrated on the wheel frames allow for easy monitoring of the platform's load, ensuring the platform's safety during use.
[0021] To further optimize this technical solution, the supporting platform includes an outer frame and a support grid set within the outer frame, the support grid being composed of intersecting profiles.
[0022] The lightweight design of the platform's frame structure makes it more convenient and flexible to use.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] 1. The uprights and diagonal braces of the guardrail assembly are mounted on the side of the load-bearing platform to prevent pipes from rolling off the platform and increase the amount of pipes that can be loaded. The diagonal braces protrude from the bottom surface of the load-bearing platform to support it. The support wheels mounted on the bottom surface of the diagonal braces facilitate the movement of the load-bearing platform for the transfer of pipes. The support columns on the uprights are pushed out of the docking slots and locked in position after abutting against the support surface, thus supporting the load-bearing platform and preventing it from moving, ensuring the reliability of loading. At the same time, the straps wound on the diagonal braces by the retractor facilitate the binding of pipes and ensure the safety of transfer.
[0025] 2. When stacking the load-bearing platforms, when lifting the load-bearing platforms with a forklift, the support columns in the docking slots are released. The support columns guide and position the load-bearing platforms so that they are precisely aligned with the docking columns. Then, the load-bearing platforms are lowered so that the docking columns can be inserted into the docking slots, and the support columns are pushed into the docking slots, thereby forming an interlocking and locking structure to ensure the stability and safety of the stacked load-bearing platforms.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 4-6 The pipe production storage rack includes a support platform 1, on which at least two guardrail components are installed. The support platform 1 is a frame structure, including an outer frame 101. A support grid 102 is provided inside the outer frame 101. The support grid 102 is composed of intersecting profiles to reduce the weight of the support platform 1. Guardrail components are provided on the outer side of the support platform 1. There are at least two guardrail components, which are distributed parallel to each other on both sides of the support platform 1. The guardrail components include uprights 2 fixedly installed to the side wall of the support platform 1. The uprights 2 are "T" shaped structures, including vertical beams 201 and components fixedly connected to the vertical beams 201. The top horizontal beam 202 and vertical beam 201 are fixedly connected to the load-bearing platform 1 by means of an assembly. The assembly includes two wing plates 2011 fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the vertical beam 201. The vertical beam 201 and horizontal beam 202 can be made of metal, such as carbon steel. The wing plates 2011 are welded and fixed to the vertical beam 201, while the wing plates 2011 are fixed to the load-bearing platform 1 by bolts. A rubber gasket is placed between the vertical beam 201 and the load-bearing platform 1 to reduce the contact wear between the vertical beam 201 and the load-bearing platform 1. The rubber gasket generates a reaction force after compression, which improves the firmness of the bolts fixing the vertical beam 201.
[0037] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 5 Appendix Figure 7 A diagonal brace 5 is fixedly installed at the top of column 2 at an angle. The diagonal brace 5 is also fixedly installed on the bearing platform 1 to enhance the installation strength of column 2. The diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 202 of column 2. Slots 2021 are provided on both sides of the bottom surface of crossbeam 202. The diagonal brace 5 is inserted into the slots 2021. The slots 2021 position the diagonal brace 5 and fix the diagonal brace 5 in the slots 2021 with the help of locking devices. The locking devices are bolts threaded to the top and sides of crossbeam 202. The bolts are inserted into the slots 2021 and threadedly connected to the diagonal brace 5 to fix the diagonal brace 5.
[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 5The cable tie beam 5 is also fixedly connected to the bearing platform 1 by bolts. A rubber gasket is also placed between the cable tie beam 5 and the bearing platform 1. The rubber gasket has a ring structure and is fitted onto the bolt. The rubber gasket also prevents wear between the cable tie beam 5 and the bearing platform 1 and enhances the assembly firmness of the cable tie beam 5. The bottom of the cable tie beam 5 extends to the bottom of the bearing platform 1 and is equipped with support wheels 6. The support wheels 6 are omnidirectional wheels, which facilitate the support of the bearing platform 1 and the movement of the bearing platform 1. The wheel frame of the omnidirectional wheel is integrated with a pressure sensor for monitoring the load of the bearing platform 1.
[0039] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 A docking groove 4 is coaxially provided on the bottom surface of the vertical beam 201, and a docking column 3 corresponding to the position of the docking groove 4 is provided on the top surface of the column 2. The docking groove 4 is coaxially provided on the bottom surface of the vertical beam 201 and fixedly connected to the docking column 3 on the top surface of the horizontal beam 202. A support column 7 is also slidably inserted into the docking groove 4. A vertical groove 2012 is opened on the outer side wall of the column 2 along the vertical direction. The vertical groove 2012 is connected to the docking groove 4. A connecting column 8 slides in the vertical groove 2012. The connecting column 8 passes into the docking groove 4 and is fixedly connected to the support column 7. The connecting column 8 protrudes from the outer side wall of the column 2 and is threadedly connected to the locking nut 801. The support column 7 is pushed out from the docking groove 4 through the connecting column 8 and after the support column 7 contacts the support surface, the movement of the bearing platform 1 can be avoided, which facilitates the loading of pipes onto the bearing platform 1.
[0040] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 8 A sleeve 9 is slidably mounted on the inclined beam 5. A tightening bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 9, and a retractor 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 9. A binding strap 12 is wound around the retractor 11. After a suitable number of pipes are loaded on the bearing platform 1, the position of the sleeve 9 is adjusted, and the binding strap 12 is pulled out and lowered to be tied to the inclined beam 5 on the opposite side, thereby binding the pipes on the bearing platform 1 to ensure the reliability and safety of pipe transportation.
[0041] Please see the appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3When transferring pipes, the support column 7 is retracted into the docking groove 4 to avoid affecting the movement of the bearing platform 1. After the bearing platform 1 is transferred to another location, if there is an excessive number of bearing platforms 1, they can be stacked. A forklift is used to lift the bearing platforms 1, and then the vertical beam 201 of the column 2 is placed on the horizontal beam 202 on another bearing platform 1. The docking column 3 on the horizontal beam 202 is then inserted into the docking groove 4 on the vertical beam 201 to ensure the safety and reliability of stacking the bearing platforms 1, and to increase the railings on the bearing platforms 1. The support component not only enhances the support effect of the support platform 1, but also improves the stacking stability of the support platform 1. When the support platform 1 is stacked, the support column 7 inside the vertical beam 201 of the forked support platform 1 can be released, so that it protrudes from the bottom surface of the vertical beam 201 under gravity. The support column 7 indicates the placement position of the support platform 1. By adjusting the position of the support platform 1 so that the support column 7 corresponds to the docking column 3, the support platform 1 can be lowered. As the docking column 3 is inserted into the docking groove 4, the support column 7 is pushed into the docking groove 4, making it flexible to use.
[0042] The working principle of this pipe production and storage rack is as follows: After the pipes are produced, they are loaded onto the support platform 1. The support platform 1 is a lightweight frame structure, and the guardrail assembly installed on the support platform 1 prevents the pipes from rolling off, increasing the loading capacity and ensuring the reliability of the pipe loading. The diagonal brace 5 of the guardrail assembly protrudes from the bottom surface of the support platform 1, thus supporting the support platform 1. The support wheels 6 installed on the bottom surface of the diagonal brace 5 facilitate the movement of the support platform 1 for pipe transfer. When loading pipes onto the support platform 1, the support column 7 inside the vertical beam 201 is pushed out and abuts against the support surface. The position of the support column 7 is fixed by the locking nut 801 abutting against the vertical beam 201. This support column 7 provides a supporting effect, thereby constraining the position of the support platform 1 and ensuring the reliability of the loading. After the pipe loading is completed, adjust the position of the sleeve 9 on the inclined tie beam 5, and pull the strap 12 out from the retractor 11 and tie it to the inclined tie beam 5 on the opposite side to bind the pipe and prevent it from jumping and rolling. When transferring the pipe, retract the support column 7 into the docking groove 4 to ensure the smooth movement of the bearing platform 1. When stacking the bearing platform 1, use a forklift or other tools to lift the bearing platform 1 and place it on other bearing platforms 1. When the bearing platform 1 is lifted, release the support column 7 again so that it passes through the vertical beam 201. The support column 7 guides the placement position of the bearing platform 1 so that it corresponds with the position of the docking column 3 on the crossbeam 202, and then the lower bearing platform 1 begins to move. After the vertical beam 201 abuts against the crossbeam 202 on other bearing platforms 1, the docking column 3 is inserted into the docking groove 4 of the vertical beam 201, and the support column 7 is pushed into the docking groove 4. The insertion of the docking column 3 and the docking groove 4 prevents the movement of the bearing platform 1 and ensures the safety and stability of the stacked bearing platform 1.
