Abstract
Description
A three-dimensional storage and retrieval device for railway wheels and brake discs Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated storage and retrieval systems, and in particular to a three-dimensional storage and retrieval device for railway wheels and brake discs. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the railway industry, the operating scale of rail transit vehicles such as high-speed trains and bullet trains is constantly expanding, and the order volume of wheelset manufacturers is also increasing day by day. The number of wheelsets (composed of key components such as wheels, axles, and brake discs) that need to be stored and distributed is increasing. In the manufacturing process, brake discs and wheels are usually stored in matching pallets and cargo frames. Existing wheels and brake discs are placed in pallets, and then the pallets are placed on a three-dimensional rack for three-dimensional storage and retrieval. However, since the structure of the three-dimensional rack is fixed, each pallet is placed on a corresponding slot. When inspecting wheels and brake discs, they need to be inspected separately, so different sized pallets are required. However, the size of the slot cannot be adjusted, so only one size pallet can be placed, and other sizes cannot be placed. The applicability is low and the space utilization rate is also low. To solve the above problems, a three-dimensional storage and retrieval device for railway wheels and brake discs is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing automated warehouses can only accommodate pallets of one size, resulting in low applicability.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A three-dimensional storage and retrieval device for railway wheels and brake discs includes a rack body, on which several sets of support frames are provided. Each set of support frames has two pieces and is arranged opposite to each other. Each support frame has a sliding groove. Each of the two support frames in each set is provided with a placement seat, which is arranged opposite to each other. A slider is provided on the lower surface of the placement seat. A guide plate is provided on the placement seat. A limit plate is provided at the rear end of the guide plate. A support plate is provided on the placement seat. A spring is provided between the placement seat and the rack body. A pallet body is provided on the placement seat.
[0006] Furthermore, the shelf body has several vertical bars, and the support frame is set on the vertical bars by connecting buckles. Each set of support frames is set on two adjacent vertical bars. The upper surface of the support frame has several sliding grooves. The cross-section of the sliding groove is T-shaped and is used to cooperate with the sliding strip at the bottom of the placement seat.
[0007] Furthermore, the guide plate of the placement seat has an inclined surface, and a support plate is located below the guide plate. The support plate is kept horizontal and is used to support the pallet body. A limit plate is provided at the rear end of the guide plate and the support plate to prevent the pallet body from falling from the rear end.
[0008] Furthermore, the spring is located at the upper end of the support frame, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the vertical rod of the shelf body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the placement seat, which is used to drive the placement seat to move left and right on the support frame;
[0009] Furthermore, some of the tray bodies have a limiting groove at the bottom to support the tray body.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] The spring-driven placement seat adjustment mechanism can accommodate pallets of various sizes, solving the problem of fixed dimensions of traditional shelving chutes and improving applicability. The inclined surface design of the guide plate reduces the difficulty of pallet alignment, allowing for easy pushing in without the need for precise manual alignment. The height of the support frame is adjustable, making the shelving space layout more flexible, increasing storage capacity within the same area, and reducing redundant space.

[0020] Example 1
[0021] This utility model provides a three-dimensional storage and retrieval device for railway wheels and brake discs, including a rack body 1, a plurality of sets of support frames 2 are provided on the rack body 1, each set of support frames 2 has two pieces and is arranged opposite to each other, the support frames 2 have a sliding groove 3, each of the two support frames 2 in each set is provided with a placement seat 4, the two placement seats 4 are arranged opposite to each other, the lower surface of the placement seat 4 is provided with a slider, the placement seat 4 is provided with a guide plate 6, the rear end of the guide plate 6 is provided with a limit plate 7, the placement seat 4 is provided with a support plate 8, a spring 9 is provided between the placement seat 4 and the rack body 1, and a pallet body 10 is provided on the placement seat 4;
[0022] Furthermore, the shelf body 1 has several vertical bars, and the support frame 2 is set on the vertical bars by connecting buckles. Each set of support frames 2 is set on two adjacent vertical bars. The upper surface of the support frame 2 has several sliding grooves 3. The cross section of the sliding groove 3 is T-shaped, which is used to cooperate with the sliding strip 5 at the bottom of the placement seat 4.
[0023] Furthermore, the guide plate 6 of the placement seat 4 has an inclined surface, and the support plate 8 is below the guide plate 6. The support plate 8 is kept horizontal and is used to support the pallet body 10. The rear end of the guide plate 6 and the support plate 8 is provided with a limit plate 7 to prevent the pallet body 10 from falling from the rear end.
[0024] Furthermore, the spring 9 is located at the upper end of the support frame 2. One end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod of the shelf body 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the placement seat 4, which is used to drive the placement seat 4 to move left and right on the support frame 2.
[0025] Furthermore, the bottom of the tray body 10 has a limiting groove 11 for supporting the tray body 10.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] In use, railway wheels and brake discs are placed into pallet bodies 10 of different sizes as needed. Then, a forklift or stacker crane is used to lift the pallet body 10 by inserting it into the limiting slot 11 and inserting it above the support frame 2 of the rack body 1. The support frame 2 can be installed at different heights on the vertical bar as needed via connecting buckles. The limiting plate 7 prevents the pallet body 10 from being too far back and limits the pallet body 10. At this time, the spring 9 is in its natural state, and the distance between the placement tray and the vertical bar is the farthest. The pallet body 10 is controlled to descend slowly. The lower end of the pallet body 10 contacts the guide plate 6 of the placement seat 4 and continues to descend, squeezing the inclined guide plate 6. The guide plate 6 and the placement seat 4 move along the slide groove 3 on the support frame 2 via the bottom slide bar 5 until the pallet body 10 falls on the support plate 8. At this time, the spring 9 is in a contracted state, squeezing the two placement seats 4, thereby clamping the pallet body 10 and completing the storage of the pallet body 10. When it is necessary to remove it, a forklift or stacker crane is used to insert into the limiting groove 11 of the pallet body 10 to lift the pallet body 10 upward and complete the removal. When using pallet bodies 10 of different sizes, the above operation is repeated. By varying the degree of contraction of the spring 9, pallet bodies 10 of different sizes can be placed, realizing the storage and retrieval of multi-size pallet bodies 10 and improving applicability.
