Description

A strip storage tray based on a shift fork mechanism Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of strip storage devices, specifically to a strip storage tray based on a shift fork mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional storage trays use fixed supports to hold and store materials. Multiple fixed supports are usually spaced out from bottom to top. When taking or taking out materials, the materials need to be pushed in or pulled out from the side of the storage tray.

[0003] The storage trays in this type of material storage space are distributed vertically and rely on manual pulling and placing, which is inefficient. Furthermore, the process of manually pushing in or pulling out the material can easily cause scratches on the material surface or even deform the material.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a storage tray that is less likely to scratch materials during the handling process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a strip storage tray based on a shift fork mechanism to solve the technical problem that the material is easily scratched when the storage tray is pulled out and put in.

[0006] This application provides a strip storage tray based on a shift fork mechanism, comprising: a base with a storage channel and multiple sets of shift fork fixtures disposed on both sides of the storage channel; each set of shift fork fixtures includes multiple shift fork members evenly spaced along the vertical direction; each shift fork member can rotate toward or away from the storage channel; the lowermost shift fork member in each set of shift fork fixtures is located in the storage channel; wherein, the shift fork members located in the storage channel are used to support the strip material, and each shift fork member located in the storage channel rotates after contacting the strip material and drives the adjacent shift fork member above it into the storage channel.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sets of fork-shaped fixtures are set on both sides of the storage channel. The fork components in each set of fork-shaped fixtures can be rotated. When the strip material is put into the storage channel from top to bottom and comes into contact with the fork component at the bottom of the storage channel, the multiple fork components at the bottom rotate. While supporting the strip material, they drive the adjacent fork components above to enter the storage channel, realizing the sequential storage of strip material from bottom to top. The sequential up-and-down method avoids the problem of strip material being easily scratched and damaged during pull-out retrieval.

[0008] Preferably, each set of shift fork fixtures includes a first housing vertically mounted on the base. Each first housing is detachably fixed to the base. Each first housing has a vertically extending first groove on the side facing the storage channel. Multiple shift fork components in each set of shift fork fixtures are spaced apart in the first groove along the vertical direction.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, each set of shift fork components is integrated into the first groove of the first housing, realizing the modular design of the shift fork mechanism. The first groove provides precise vertical positioning and guidance for the shift fork components, ensuring the stability and consistency of the shift fork component movement. At the same time, the detachable design of the first housing improves the assembly efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the first groove is provided with a plurality of first rotating shafts, each fork is rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft, and each fork is provided with a first limiting post below the end near the storage channel.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a first rotating shaft is set to realize the rotation of the shift fork, and a first limiting post is set below the end of each shift fork near the storage channel. This precisely limits the maximum rotation angle of the shift fork in the direction near the storage channel, ensuring that the shift fork can stably and horizontally support the strip material, preventing unstable support or excessive tilting, and ensuring the flatness of the material in the storage state.

[0012] Preferably, each first pivot is connected to the portion of the shift fork closest to the storage channel.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first rotating shaft is set in the part of the shift fork close to the storage channel. Through the lever structure, the shift fork rotates away from the storage channel when unloaded, so as to avoid affecting the storage or retrieval of strip materials.

[0014] Preferably, the lowermost fork in each set of fork fixtures has a second limiting post at the end furthest from the storage channel.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a second limiting post is set below the end of the bottommost shift fork that is far from the storage channel to further limit the bottommost shift fork, ensuring that the bottommost shift fork is in a preset initial horizontal position in the initial state or no-load state, providing a starting basis for the linkage of the entire shift fork mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, each shift fork is provided with a first auxiliary component at the end away from the storage channel, and each first auxiliary component faces the adjacent shift fork above.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a first auxiliary component facing the adjacent upper shift fork is set at the end of the shift fork component, which optimizes the linkage contact between the adjacent shift fork components. When the lower shift fork component rotates, the first auxiliary component can effectively push the upper adjacent shift fork component to rotate, ensuring the smoothness and certainty of the linkage action transmission, preventing linkage failure due to poor contact or misalignment, and improving the reliability of the entire shift fork mechanism.

[0018] Preferably, a first baffle is provided at both ends of the storage channel along its length, and both first baffles are vertically mounted on the base.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, vertical first baffles are set at both ends of the storage channel along its length, which effectively prevents strip materials from accidentally slipping off the end of the storage channel during storage or retrieval or storage, thereby improving the safety of material storage and further reducing the risk of jamming or damage caused by material deviation during operation.

[0020] Preferably, the base at both ends of the storage channel is provided with a sliding groove, and the first baffle is slidably connected to the sliding groove. Each first baffle can slide back and forth along the length of the storage channel.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first baffle can be slidably adjusted in the length direction of the storage channel through the chute connection, enabling the equipment to adapt to strip materials of different lengths, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment, and reducing the cost of use.

[0022] One or more technical solutions provided in this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0023] 1. Multiple sets of fork fixtures are set on both sides of the storage channel. The fork components in each set of fork fixtures can be rotated. When the strip material is put into the storage channel from top to bottom and comes into contact with the fork component at the bottom of the storage channel, the multiple fork components at the bottom rotate. While supporting the strip material, they drive the adjacent fork components above into the storage channel, realizing the sequential storage of strip material from bottom to top. The sequential up-and-down method avoids the problem of strip material being easily scratched and damaged during pull-out retrieval.

[0024] 2. Each set of shift fork components is integrated into the first groove of the first housing, realizing the modular design of the shift fork mechanism. The first groove provides precise vertical positioning and guidance for the shift fork components, ensuring the stability and consistency of the shift fork component movement. At the same time, the detachable design of the first housing improves the assembly efficiency.

[0025] 3. A first rotating shaft is set to realize the rotation of the shift fork, and a first limiting post is set below the end of each shift fork near the storage channel to precisely limit the maximum rotation angle of the shift fork in the direction near the storage channel, ensuring that the shift fork can stably and horizontally support the strip material, preventing unstable support or excessive tilting, and ensuring the flatness of the material in the storage state.

[0026] 4. The first rotating shaft is set in the part of the shift fork close to the storage channel. Through the lever structure, the shift fork rotates away from the storage channel when unloaded, so as to avoid affecting the storage or retrieval of strip materials.

[0027] 5. A second limiting post is set below the end of the bottommost shift fork that is furthest from the storage channel to further limit the bottommost shift fork and ensure that the bottommost shift fork is in the preset initial horizontal position in the initial state or no-load state, so as to provide the starting basis for the linkage of the entire shift fork mechanism.

[0028] 6. A first auxiliary component is provided at the end of the shift fork component facing the adjacent shift fork component above, which optimizes the linkage contact between the adjacent shift fork components. When the lower shift fork component rotates, the first auxiliary component can effectively push the upper adjacent shift fork component to rotate, ensuring the smoothness and certainty of the linkage action transmission, preventing linkage failure due to poor contact or misalignment, and improving the reliability of the entire shift fork mechanism.

[0029] 7. Sliding and adjustable first baffles are installed at both ends of the storage channel along its length to effectively prevent strip materials from accidentally slipping off the end of the storage channel during storage or retrieval, thereby improving the safety of material storage and further reducing the risk of jamming or damage caused by material deviation during operation. At the same time, the sliding adjustment allows the equipment to adapt to strip materials of different lengths, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment and reducing the cost of use.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, an embodiment of this application provides a strip storage tray based on a shift fork mechanism, comprising: a base 1 with a storage channel and multiple sets of shift fork fixtures disposed on both sides of the storage channel; each set of shift fork fixtures includes multiple shift fork members 3 equidistantly distributed along the vertical direction; each shift fork member 3 can rotate toward or away from the storage channel; the lowermost shift fork member 3 in each set of shift fork fixtures is located in the storage channel; wherein, the shift fork member 3 located in the storage channel is used to support the strip material 5, and each shift fork member 3 located in the storage channel rotates after contacting the strip material 5 and drives the adjacent shift fork member 3 above it into the storage channel.

[0045] Preferably, in the embodiment provided in this application, the base 1 is elongated, and four sets of identical shift fork fixtures are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1, two sets on each side. Each set of shift fork fixtures includes a first housing 2 vertically fixed to the base 1, and each first housing 2 is detachably mounted to the base 1 by means of screws or clips. A vertically extending elongated first groove is formed on the side wall of each first housing 2 facing the storage channel.

[0046] Inside each first slot, eight first rotating shafts 22 are installed at equal intervals along the vertical direction. Each first rotating shaft 22 is hinged to a freely rotatable shift fork 3, and the first rotating shaft 22 is positioned at the end of the shift fork 3 closest to the storage channel. A lever structure allows the shift fork 3 to move away from the storage channel when unloaded. The eight shift forks 3 in each set of shift fork fixtures are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction. Each shift fork 3 has a first limiting post 23 below its end closest to the storage channel to limit the maximum angle of rotation towards the storage channel, ensuring the shift fork 3 remains horizontally stable when supporting materials. Simultaneously, a second limiting post 24 is located below the bottommost shift fork 3 in each set of shift fork fixtures, at its end furthest from the storage channel, to limit the angle of rotation of the bottommost shift fork 3 away from the channel, ensuring that the end of the bottommost shift fork 3 closest to the storage channel is within the storage channel when unloaded. In addition, each fork 3 extends upward from the end away from the storage channel with a first auxiliary member 31. The first auxiliary member 31 points directly above the adjacent fork 3. When the fork 3 rotates towards the storage channel, the first auxiliary member 31 pushes the adjacent fork 3 above it into the storage channel.

[0047] At both ends of the storage channel along its length, there is a vertical first baffle 4. The first baffle 4 is installed on the base 1 by bolt connection. In order to accommodate strip materials 5 of different lengths, two sliding grooves 11 are respectively opened on the base 1 at both ends of the storage channel. By adjusting the position of the bolt in the sliding groove 11, the first baffle 4 can be slidably adjusted along the length of the storage channel. After being adjusted to a suitable position, the first baffle 4 is fixed by locking bolt.

[0048] During use, when a new strip of material 5 needs to be added, the strip of material 5 is placed from above the storage channel. The strip of material 5 contacts and presses against the four bottommost forks 3. Under the gravity of the strip of material 5, these four bottommost forks 3 will rotate synchronously around their respective first pivot 22 until the forks 3 abut against the first limiting post 23 below. During the rotation of the forks 3, the first auxiliary part 31 at the end of each fork 3 away from the storage channel pushes the adjacent fork 3 above it upwards. After being pushed, the adjacent forks 3 above it rotates into the storage channel around the first pivot 22. When the four bottommost forks 3 have completed supporting the strip of material 5, the four adjacent forks 3 above the bottommost forks 3 rotate synchronously and enter the storage channel. When the second strip of material is added, the strip of material 5 will fall onto the four second-layer forks 3 above the bottommost forks 3 and rotate into the channel. The above process is repeated to achieve automatic stacking and storage of the strip of material 5 layer by layer. The material retrieval process is carried out in reverse. When the top layer of strip material 5 is removed, the fork 3 supporting the top layer of strip material 5 loses its load and rotates away from the storage channel under the action of the lever structure until the end of the fork 3 near the storage channel abuts against the first limiting post 23 above. The above process is repeated to realize the layer-by-layer removal of strip material 5. Throughout the storage and retrieval process, the strip material 5 always remains stable under the multi-point support provided by the four sets of fork 3, which completely avoids the friction between the material and the fixed support during the traditional pull-out process. This not only significantly improves the storage and retrieval efficiency, but more importantly, it effectively prevents scratches on the material surface and structural deformation.

[0049] In this embodiment, multiple sets of fork fixtures are set on both sides of the storage channel. The fork 3 in each set of fork fixtures can be rotated. When the strip material 5 is put into the storage channel from top to bottom and comes into contact with the fork 3 at the bottom of the storage channel, the multiple forks 3 at the bottom rotate. While supporting the strip material 5, they drive the adjacent forks 3 above to enter the storage channel, so as to realize the sequential storage of the strip material 5 from bottom to top. The sequential up-and-down method avoids the problem of the strip material 5 being easily scratched and damaged in the pull-out method.
