Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of storage rack technology, specifically a novel storage rack that facilitates rapid storage of parts by a robot gripper. Background Technology

[0002] Existing storage racks are mainly used for storing parts. In the production process, workers stand up and place parts into the racks, manually turning over the dividers between the parts to complete the storage work. This provides a storage medium for parts in subsequent production processes and is a common piece of equipment for parts storage in traditional production processes.

[0003] However, after the parts are loaded, the existing storage racks occupy a lot of horizontal space in the workshop warehouse because the racks cannot be stacked. The vertical space is not effectively utilized. For example, when the storage area is limited, a large number of racks can only be laid flat, which occupies a lot of workshop warehouse space, resulting in a waste of space resources, limiting the increase of storage capacity, and increasing the enterprise's storage costs and site management difficulty.

[0004] Furthermore, existing storage racks often use a vertical arrangement for parts. During transportation, the bumps caused by vehicle movement can cause the spacers between parts to shake and shift. This instability can lead to collisions between parts, and frequent impacts can easily cause deformation. For example, some parts with complex shapes and soft materials may have their dimensional accuracy and appearance damaged after transportation, affecting their quality and subsequent use. This increases the company's defect rate and production costs, ultimately reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel storage rack that facilitates the rapid storage of parts by a robot gripper, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A novel storage rack for facilitating rapid storage of parts by a robot gripper includes an integral rack frame for storing parts, wherein rack linkage components are fixedly installed on the top surface of the integral rack frame.

[0008] The material rack linkage component includes a mounting base plate, a protective cover, an outer stop block, multiple support blocks, a limit rod, a fixed shaft, and a linkage mechanism. The protective cover is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting base plate, and the mounting base plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the overall material rack frame. The side walls of the protective cover are open, and the outer stop blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the open side of the protective cover. The side walls of the multiple support blocks are rotatably installed inside the protective cover through the fixed shaft. Limit rods are fixedly installed in the protective cover located above the tail of the support blocks.

[0009] The linkage mechanism is installed on the tail side wall of each support block, and multiple support blocks are rotatably connected in the protective cover through the linkage mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes a positioning pin, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a circular waist hole. The positioning pin is fixedly installed on the tail sidewall of two adjacent support blocks. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod have the same structure. The bottom sidewall of the first connecting rod has a circular hole and a circular waist hole. The bottom end of the first connecting rod is sleeved with the positioning pin on the sidewall of the lower support block through the circular hole. The top of the first connecting rod is sleeved with the positioning pin on the sidewall of the upper support block through the circular waist hole. The positioning pin on the sidewall of the upper support block is also sleeved with the bottom circular hole of the second connecting rod.

[0011] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly installed on one side of the top surface of the support block, and a counterweight is fixedly installed on the other side of the tail of the support block.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom side of the support block near the outer side has a sloping structure.

[0013] Preferably, the integral material rack frame includes support columns, crossbeams, and longitudinal beams. The two ends of the crossbeams and longitudinal beams are respectively welded to the bottom sidewalls of the support columns, and a frame for supporting parts is fixedly welded between the crossbeams and longitudinal beams.

[0014] Preferably, a plug is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support column, a support foot is installed on the bottom of the support column, and a socket is opened on the bottom surface of the support foot.

[0015] Preferably, the top sidewalls of the support columns are fixedly connected with insert rings, and the inside of the insert rings is inserted and installed with both ends of the retaining rod, and the retaining rod is inserted and installed around the four support columns.

[0016] Preferably, a material rack side block is fixedly installed on the outer side of the top surface of the frame, and a material rack support is fixedly installed on the inner side of the top surface of the frame.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0018] 1. This technical solution uses the plug on the top surface of the support column and the insertion holes of the bottom support feet of the overall rack frame to allow multiple racks to be stacked on top of each other. After the parts are stored, the racks can be stacked layer by layer to make full use of the vertical height space. Compared with traditional vertical racks that can only be laid flat, it can greatly reduce the horizontal space occupied by the racks and effectively improve the storage capacity.

[0019] 2. This technical solution uses rubber pads installed on the top surface of the support block to effectively buffer vibration and collision during the placement and transportation of parts, reducing wear on the parts; the linkage mechanism of the support block allows the parts to be stacked and laid flat, which makes the relative position between the parts more stable than vertical placement and reduces the possibility of mutual collision.

[0020] In addition, the side blocks on the outer side of the top surface of the frame and the support base on the inner side of the frame further fix the position of the parts and prevent them from shaking during transportation. In actual transportation, even if the road conditions are bumpy, the parts in this storage rack can remain stable and avoid deformation caused by collision, thereby ensuring the quality of the parts, reducing the defect rate of the enterprise, reducing the production costs caused by the damage of parts, and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] Please see Figure 1-7 The embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a novel storage rack for facilitating rapid storage of parts by a robot gripper includes an integral rack frame 1 for storing parts 5. A rack linkage component 4 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the integral rack frame 1, such as... Figure 4-6As shown, the material rack linkage component 4 includes a mounting base plate 41, a protective cover 42, an outer stop block 43, multiple support blocks 45, a limit rod 46, a fixed shaft 47, and a linkage mechanism 48. The protective cover 42 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting base plate 41. The mounting base plate 41 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the overall material rack frame 1 to provide a mounting base for the material rack linkage component 4. The side wall of the protective cover 42 is open to facilitate contact between the part 5 and the internal support block 45. The outer stop block 43 is fixedly installed on both sides of the open side of the protective cover 42 to prevent the part 5 from moving longitudinally.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sidewalls of multiple support blocks 45 are rotatably mounted inside the protective cover 42 via a fixed shaft 47. Limiting rods 46 are fixedly installed in the protective cover 42 above the tail of the support blocks 45. When the robot gripper places the first part 5 onto the support block 45, the gravity of the part 5 causes the support block 45 to rotate around the fixed shaft 47. The limiting rods 46 installed in the protective cover 42 above the tail of the support block 45 limit the rotation angle of the support block 45, prevent excessive rotation, ensure that the rotation of the support block 45 is within a reasonable range, and ensure that the part 5 is placed stably on the support block 45.

[0041] The linkage mechanism 48 is installed on the tail side wall of each support block 45, and multiple support blocks 45 are rotatably connected in the protective cover 42 through the linkage mechanism 48. The linkage mechanism 48 includes a positioning pin 481, a first connecting rod 482, a second connecting rod 483, and a round hole 484. The positioning pin 481 is fixedly installed on the tail side wall of two adjacent support blocks 45. The first connecting rod 482 and the second connecting rod 483 have the same structure. The bottom side wall of the first connecting rod 482 has a round hole and a round hole 484. The bottom end of the first connecting rod 482 is sleeved with the positioning pin 481 on the side wall of the lower support block 45 through the round hole. The top of the first connecting rod 482 is sleeved with the positioning pin 481 on the side wall of the upper support block 45 through the round hole 484. The positioning pin 481 on the side wall of the upper support block 45 is also sleeved with the bottom round hole of the second connecting rod 483.

[0042] like Figure 6As shown, when part 5 is placed on the support block 45 at the bottom of the protective cover 42, the weight of part 5 causes the support block 45 to rotate outward along the fixed axis 47. At the same time, under the action of the limiting rod 46, it finally remains horizontal and fixed to provide support for part 5. During this process, the first connecting rod 482 on the tail of the support block 45 rotates on the positioning pin 481 through the round hole, and rotates around the fixed axis 47 as the center, thereby pushing the upper support block 45 on the top of the first connecting rod 482 to rotate, thus preparing for the subsequent placement of overlapping parts 5.

[0043] Furthermore, the bottom side of the support block 45 near the outer side has a sloping structure. The sloping design also makes it easier for the support block 45 above to obstruct the placement of part 5 from the bottom. This makes it easier for the robot gripper to slide part 5 into the appropriate position, reducing the difficulty of placement, improving placement accuracy and efficiency, and reducing collision and friction between part 5 and support block 45.

[0044] When the robot gripper needs to pick up the parts 5 stacked on the overall material rack frame 1, when it picks up the part 5 on the uppermost support block 45 of the protective cover 42, the support block 45 loses its weight. A rubber pad 44 is fixedly installed on one side of the top surface of the support block 45. The rubber pad 44 can effectively reduce the wear on the part 5. A counterweight block 49 is fixedly installed on the other side of the tail of the support block 45. Under the weight of the counterweight block 49, the support block 45 rotates along the fixed axis 47, causing the support block 45 to tilt and enter the protective cover 42, thereby facilitating the picking up of the part 5 below.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to enable multiple integrated rack frames 1 to be stacked together, the integrated rack frame 1 includes a support column 11, a crossbeam 12, and a longitudinal beam 13. The two ends of the crossbeam 12 and the longitudinal beam 13 are respectively welded to the bottom side wall of the support column 11. A frame 15 for supporting parts 5 is fixedly welded between the crossbeam 12 and the longitudinal beam 13 to form a stable space for supporting parts 5. A plug 111 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support column 11, and a support foot is installed on the bottom of the support column 11. The bottom surface of the support foot has a socket 112. The plug 111 on the top surface of the support column 11 and the socket 112 on the bottom surface of the support foot cooperate with each other. The open type of the support foot allows the plug 111 of one integrated rack to be inserted into the socket 112 of the support foot of another integrated rack, realizing the stacking of multiple racks. Stacking can effectively save storage space, improve space utilization, and facilitate warehouse management and access to parts 5.

[0046] The top sidewalls of the support column 11 are fixedly connected with the insertion rings 113 respectively. The inside of the insertion rings 113 is inserted and installed into both ends of the surrounding rod 14. The surrounding rod 14 is inserted and installed around the four support columns 11. When the material rack is stacked, the surrounding rod 14 prevents the parts 5 from falling from the side, while limiting the lateral displacement of the support column 11 and enhancing the structural stability of the material rack.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, material rack side blocks 2 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the top surface of the frame 15 to block the part 5 and prevent it from sliding off the outside of the frame 15. Material rack support 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the top surface of the frame 15. The material rack support 3 is installed on the inner side of the top surface of the frame 15 to provide additional support points for the part 5, distribute the weight of the part 5, and make the part 5 placed more evenly and stably.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
