Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage rack technology, specifically a drawer-type steel plate storage rack for easy unloading. Background Technology

[0002] Steel plate storage racks are an important component of warehousing equipment, primarily used for storing steel plates of various specifications. However, existing steel plate storage racks require multiple layers of stacked steel plates. Retrieving plates from the bottom layer necessitates manual or mechanical handling of the upper layers, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but can also cause scratches and deformation of the steel plates due to frequent handling, increasing costs. To facilitate access, the steel plates on each layer need to be spaced apart, allowing forklift forks to reach inside the rack and retrieve plates from any layer as needed. However, excessive spacing between racks results in a high overall height, potentially exceeding the forklift's height limit. To accommodate forklift height, the number of steel plates on the racks needs to be reduced, leading to low overall utilization. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a drawer-type steel plate storage rack that facilitates material handling, solving the technical problems of inconvenient steel plate handling and low space utilization in existing storage racks.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drawer-type steel plate storage rack for easy unloading, comprising two sets of base plates, on which uprights are fixedly mounted, and multiple mounting grooves are opened on the side walls of the uprights, and support rails are fixedly mounted in the mounting grooves by bolts. Both ends of the support rails are hinged to extension rails, and locking components are fixedly mounted on the surfaces of the extension rails near both ends. A sliding plate is slidably mounted on the side wall of the extension rail, and multiple rollers that are rolled and connected to the inside of the extension rail are installed on the inner side of the sliding plate. A tray is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the sliding plate, and a storage plate with a handle and pull rod is placed on the tray.

[0005] Preferably, the sidewall of the column has an arc-shaped structure.

[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] Steel plates are widely used in many industries such as construction, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and shipbuilding. With industrial development, the demand for steel plates in various industries is constantly increasing. Enterprises need to store large quantities of steel plates of different specifications and types, which places higher demands on the capacity and adaptability of steel plate storage racks.

[0024] Due to the inconvenience of retrieval and placement and the low space utilization of existing technologies, please refer to... Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a drawer-type steel plate storage rack for easy unloading, which has the advantages of convenient steel plate loading and unloading and high practicality. The extension rail 5 can be folded to one side of the supporting rail 4 to reduce the overall external space occupied by the rack. At the same time, no space needs to be left between the supporting rails 4 for fork arms to extend into, thus improving the space utilization rate of the rack at the same height. The storage rack includes two sets of base plates 1, with uprights 2 fixed on the base plates 1. Multiple mounting grooves are opened on the side walls of the uprights 2, and supporting rails 4 are fixed in the mounting grooves by bolts 3. Both ends of the supporting rails 4 are open... An extension guide rail 5 is hinged to the extension guide rail. Locking components 6 are fixed to the surfaces of the extension guide rail 5 near both ends. A sliding plate 8 is slidably arranged on the side wall of the extension guide rail 5. Multiple rollers 7 are installed on the inner side of the sliding plate 8 and are rolledly connected to the inner side of the extension guide rail 5. A support plate 9 is fixed on the side wall of the sliding plate 8. A storage plate 12 with a handle and pull rod 13 is placed on the support plate 9. In use, the extension guide rail 5 is opened and aligned with the support guide rail 4 on the same axis. Then, the extension guide rail 5 is locked in position using the locking components 6. Finally, the storage plate 12 is lifted or lowered by the forklift forks to pick up and put down the materials.

[0025] When the extension rail 5 is folded and unfolded, the side wall of the column 2 may obstruct one end of the extension rail 5. To address this issue, the side wall of the column 2 is made into an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped structure can just avoid one end of the extension rail 5, allowing it to unfold and fold normally.

[0026] Furthermore, a fixing hole 21 adapted to the locking assembly 6 is provided on the side wall of the column 2; the pin 63 in the locking assembly 6 can be inserted into the fixing hole 21 to fix the extension guide rail 5 after folding.

[0027] When the extension rail 5 is unfolded or folded, the extension rail 5 is hinged to the support rail 4, which can cause instability in the extension rail 5 itself, affecting subsequent use. For this issue, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 The locking assembly 6 includes a fixed cylinder 61 fixed to the extension guide rail 5, a spring 62 installed inside the fixed cylinder 61, a pin 63 movable inside the fixed cylinder 61 fixed to one end of the spring 62, a lever 64 fixed to the outer wall of the pin 63, the lever 64 being movably connected to a through hole opened in the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 61, and a latch 65 fixed to the support guide rail 4 inserted into one end of the pin 63.

[0028] The tray 9 has positioning holes with a right-angled trapezoidal cross-section at both ends; the pin 63 can be moved by the lever 64. When the pin 63 is inserted into the latch 65, the extension rail 5 can form a fixed connection with the support rail 4, which can ensure that the extension rail 5 will not shake after unfolding. When the pin 63 is inserted into the fixing hole 21 on the side wall of the column 2, the extension rail 5 can form a fixed connection with the column 2, which can ensure that the extension rail 5 will not shake after folding.

[0029] Furthermore, a plurality of support blocks 11 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the pallet 9 and are fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding plate 8; the support blocks 11 can improve the load-bearing capacity of the pallet 9.

[0030] Since the connection between the support rail 4 and the extension rail 5 is only hinged, the hinge at the connection point is prone to excessive stress and damage when the extension rail 5 carries the steel plate. To address this issue, a support block 14 is fixed to the bottom of one end of the support rail 4, which fits against the bottom of the extension rail 5. By setting the support block 14, the connection between the support rail 4 and the extension rail 5 can be supported, preventing the hinge at the connection point from being damaged due to excessive local stress.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0032] 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.
