Description

Sheet transport rack Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, and in particular to a sheet metal transport rack. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and processing, large metal sheets (such as steel plates) need to be transferred to the vicinity of cutting or welding equipment for processing. Due to the large weight of the sheets, sheet transport racks are essential special auxiliary equipment to assist in the transport of sheets.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN201920699174.X discloses a ferrite substrate moving frame, including a moving frame body and a rolling device. The moving frame body includes a support and legs. The legs are fixedly disposed at the lower end of the support, and the rolling device is disposed at the upper end of the support. The support is composed of several tubes connected together. The rolling device is composed of a cam and balls. The cam has a through hole. The rolling device is fixedly connected to the tubes through the cam. The balls are accommodated in the cavity formed by the cam and the tubes, and the diameter of the balls is greater than the height of the cavity.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following technical defects exist and require improvement:

[0005] In common sheet material transport racks, the sheets are mainly supported by ball bearings. During the horizontal transport of the sheets on the ball bearings, their horizontal freedom is unrestricted. If the mobile rack is wide and the sheet material is narrow, the sheet material is easy to tilt, requiring staff to make repeated adjustments or corrections, which makes the transport operation inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides a sheet metal transport rack to improve the following technical problems:

[0007] In common sheet material transport racks, the sheets are mainly supported by ball bearings. During the horizontal transport of the sheets on the ball bearings, their horizontal freedom is unrestricted. If the mobile rack is wide and the sheet material is narrow, the sheet material is easy to tilt, requiring staff to make repeated adjustments or corrections, which makes the transport operation inconvenient.

[0008] This application provides a sheet metal transport rack, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A sheet metal transport rack includes a transport rack body and multiple support beams. The support beams are arranged along the length of the transport rack body. The multiple support beams are spaced apart and installed on the top of the transport rack body. Fixed plates are provided at both ends of the transport rack body. The fixed plates are perpendicular to the support beams and located below the support beams. Multiple spaced-apart rolling elements are provided on the upper surface of the support beams. Two adjustable plates are adjustable between the two fixed plates. The adjustable plates are parallel to the support beams and located below the support beams. The position of the adjustable plates can be freely switched within the gap between adjacent support beams. Multiple vertically spaced partition bars are installed on the adjustable plates via elastic brackets. In the normal state, the top of the partition bars is higher than the rolling elements. In the retracted state, the top of the partition bars is lower than the rolling elements. The sheet metal being transported is confined between the two sets of partition bars.

[0010] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the fixed plate is provided with a strip-shaped sliding hole, the strip-shaped sliding hole is perpendicular to the support beam, the two ends of the adjusting plate are provided with mounting holes, and the adjusting plate and the fixed plate are locked together by a bolt group, the bolt group passing through the strip-shaped sliding hole and the mounting hole.

[0011] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the partition rod includes a stainless steel core rod and a rubber sleeve, and the rubber sleeve is fixed to the upper half of the stainless steel core rod.

[0012] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the elastic support includes a base plate and multiple springs. The bottom of the stainless steel core rod is vertically fixed to the base plate. The adjustment plate is provided with a through hole for the stainless steel core rod to slide through. The stainless steel core rod passes through the spring, and the spring is sandwiched between the rubber sleeve and the upper surface of the adjustment plate.

[0013] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the elastic bracket further includes a handle bar, which is vertically connected to the bottom center of the base plate.

[0014] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the outer peripheral wall of the rubber sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture, and the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve is between 5 and 8 centimeters.

[0015] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the rolling element is a flange-type bullseye ball bearing.

[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] By adding a fixed plate, an adjusting plate, and a flexible bracket, two sets of spacers are installed to confine the transported boards between the two sets of spacers, thereby preventing the transported boards from tilting. This eliminates the need for repeated adjustments or corrections by staff, making transportation operations more convenient. When it is necessary to adjust the width between the two sets of spacers, the spacers can be pressed down to avoid the position of the support beams, allowing the spacers to be adjusted to different gaps between adjacent support beams.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-2.

[0035] This application discloses a sheet metal transport rack. Referring to Figures 1-2, the sheet metal transport rack includes a transport rack body 1 and multiple support beams 2. The support beams 2 are arranged along the length of the transport rack body 1. The multiple support beams 2 are spaced apart and installed on the top of the transport rack body 1. Fixed plates 3 are provided at both ends of the transport rack body 1. The fixed plates 3 are perpendicular to the support beams 2 and located below the support beams 2. Multiple spaced rolling elements 4 are provided on the upper surface of the support beams 2. Two adjusting plates 5 are adjustablely installed between the two fixed plates 3. The adjusting plates 5 are parallel to the support beams 2 and located below the support beams 2. The position of the adjusting plates 5 can be freely switched within the gap between adjacent support beams 2. Multiple vertically spaced partition bars 6 are installed on the adjusting plates 5 through elastic brackets 7. In the normal state, the top of the partition bars 6 is higher than the rolling elements 4. In the retracted state, the top of the partition bars 6 is lower than the rolling elements 4. The sheet metal being transported is confined between the two sets of partition bars 6. The rolling elements 4 are flange-type bullseye ball bearings. The transport rack body 1 and the support beams 2 are both made of square steel tubes.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixed plate 3 is provided with a strip-shaped sliding hole 31, which is perpendicular to the support beam 2. The two ends of the adjusting plate 5 are provided with mounting holes. The adjusting plate 5 and the fixed plate 3 are locked together by a bolt group 32. The bolt group 32 passes through the strip-shaped sliding hole 31 and the mounting hole. The partition rod 6 includes a stainless steel core rod 61 and a rubber sleeve 62. The rubber sleeve 62 is fixed to the upper half of the stainless steel core rod 61. The outer peripheral wall of the rubber sleeve 62 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 62 is between 5 and 8 centimeters.

[0037] The installation structure of the adjustment plate 5 designed above is not only firm and stable, but also convenient to operate when adjusting the position, which is conducive to efficient work; the design of the rubber sleeve 62 can effectively prevent the plate from damaging the partition bar 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the elastic bracket 7 includes a base plate 71 and multiple springs 72. The bottom of the stainless steel core rod 61 is vertically fixed to the base plate 71. The adjusting plate 5 is provided with a through hole for the stainless steel core rod 61 to slide through. The stainless steel core rod 61 passes through the springs 72, and the springs 72 are sandwiched between the rubber sleeve 62 and the upper surface of the adjusting plate 5. The elastic bracket 7 also includes a handle 73, which is vertically connected to the center of the bottom of the base plate 71.

[0039] The elastic support 7 designed above has a simple structure and stable operation. Under the elastic force of the spring 72, the top of the baffle 6 will always be higher than the rolling element 4. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the adjusting plate 5 downward, the operator only needs to pull the handle 73 downward, which is relatively convenient.

[0040] The beneficial technical effects of the sheet metal transport rack in this application embodiment are roughly as follows:

[0041] By adding a fixed plate 3, an adjusting plate 5, and an elastic bracket 7, two sets of partition bars 6 are installed to confine the transported board material between the two sets of partition bars 6, thereby preventing the transported board material from tilting. This eliminates the need for repeated adjustments or corrections by staff, making the transportation operation more convenient. When it is necessary to adjust the width between the two sets of partition bars 6, the partition bars 6 are pressed down to avoid the position of the support beam 2, thus allowing the partition bars 6 to be adjusted to different gaps between adjacent support beams 2.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
