Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stacker crane equipment technology, and in particular to a column structure for adapting to a single-column stacker crane. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of automation technology in the field of smart warehousing, lightweight design technology for stacker cranes with column structure as the core has emerged. This technology aims to improve equipment operating efficiency by optimizing column structure, while reducing manufacturing costs and promoting the modularization and integration of warehousing and logistics equipment.
[0003] In existing stacker crane column construction technology, three main methods are used: First, a single large-section rectangular steel pipe is directly fabricated and welded to connect the column to the beam; second, bent vertical pieces and diagonal bracing components are combined and welded to form a triangular support structure; third, cast aluminum alloy parts are molded and then assembled. While these solutions can achieve basic load-bearing functions, each has significant drawbacks.
[0004] The single large rectangular tube solution requires the use of oversized profiles, resulting in low material utilization. This not only increases redundant weight but also wastes processing materials, driving up overall costs. While the vertical and diagonal bracing combination structure can optimize material distribution, its bending and forming process is complex, requiring multiple processing steps. Furthermore, on-site installation requires a large number of standard parts for fixing, which extends the production cycle and increases labor assembly costs. Although the cast aluminum part solution can achieve complex cross-section designs, the initial investment in mold development is huge, and the price of aluminum fluctuates significantly more than that of steel, making it difficult to demonstrate a cost advantage in large-scale applications.
[0005] In addition, the aforementioned traditional structures all suffer from insufficient functional integration. Some designs require additional adapter components to enable the installation of drive devices or the connection of crossbeams, further increasing the complexity of the system and the difficulty of implementation. Utility Model Content

[0022] Preferably, the column is a rectangular tubular structure.
[0023] Preferably, both the first support plate and the second support plate are symmetrically distributed plates on both sides, which are welded together to form a stable support frame.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0043] This application provides a column structure for adapting to a single-column stacker crane, including a rectangular layout formed by four rectangular tube columns 1, including two wide sides and two narrow sides.
[0044] In this embodiment, multiple sets of first support plates 3 are symmetrically distributed between the two columns 1 arranged on the wide side, and the first side plate 4 is supported by the first support plates 3. The columns 1, the first support plates 3 and the first side plate 4 are connected by welding.
[0045] In this embodiment, multiple sets of second support plates 6 are symmetrically distributed between the two narrow-sided columns 1, and the second side plate 5 is supported by the second support plates 6. The columns 1, the second support plates 6, and the second side plate 5 are connected by welding. Guide rails 2 are welded along the narrow-sided direction and are directly welded to the narrow-sided side surface of the columns 1 for the loading platform to move up and down along them.
[0046] In this embodiment, a base plate 7 is welded to the bottom of the four columns 1; the base plate 7 is welded to the fourth side plate 9 on the wide side and to the third side plate 8 on the narrow side. The thickness of the third side plate 8 and the fourth side plate 9 is greater than the thickness of the base plate 7, and the two are connected to the base plate 7 by continuous welds to enhance the deformation resistance of the base plate 7 and ensure the stability of the fixed connection with the lower crossbeam.
[0047] In this embodiment, a top plate 10 is welded to the top of the four columns 1; one side of the top plate 10 is welded to an L-shaped bent plate 13 and a sealing plate 14, specifically: one end of the bent plate 13 is welded to the top plate 10, and the other end is welded to the sealing plate 14, forming a closed reinforced area to improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the top plate 10, thus constituting the main body of the upper crossbeam of the stacker crane. First pressure blocks 11 are welded to both sides of the narrow edge of the top plate 10. The first pressure blocks 11 serve as fixing plates for the guide wheels of the upper crossbeam, used to install the guide wheel assembly.
[0048] In this embodiment, along the narrow side direction, the second pressure block 12 is welded to the inner side of the top and bottom of the four pillars 1;
[0049] Furthermore, the second pressure block 12 is used to install the guide wheel of the drive timing belt, so as to drive the loading platform to move up and down along the guide rail 2. The second pressure block 12 is fixed to the inner side of the column 1 by a continuous weld, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the guide wheel installation.
[0050] In this embodiment, a first mounting plate 15, a second mounting plate 16, and a third mounting plate 17 are welded to the narrow sides of the four pillars 1, and a fourth mounting plate 18 and a fifth mounting plate 19 are welded to the wide sides; the dimensions of the mounting plates are matched according to the dimensions of the mounting plates of the stacker crane's supporting components.
[0051] In this embodiment, the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 6 are both trapezoidal plates symmetrically distributed on both sides. They are connected to the first side plate 4 and the second side plate 5 respectively by welding. This symmetrical design optimizes the stress distribution of the column structure, avoids local stress concentration, and reduces material redundancy, thereby achieving lightweighting.
[0052] In practice, the rectangular tube cross-section of column 1 is customized according to requirements, eliminating the need to rely on standard profiles and reducing procurement costs; the welding process simplifies traditional bending or casting procedures, reducing processing time and labor costs.
[0053] This utility model has a reasonable structure. Through modular welding design, the guide rail 2, bottom plate 7, top plate 10, pressure block and mounting plate are integrated into a rectangular four-column frame to achieve lightweight, high rigidity and low cost. In addition, the reinforcement design of the third side plate 8, the fourth side plate 9 and the bending plate 13 improves the resistance to deformation. The support plate and mounting plate enhance the adaptability and flexibility to meet the needs of different warehousing scenarios.
[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way.
