Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material storage vehicle technology, specifically to a material vehicle for storing injection-molded parts for vehicle lights. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most material carts used for injection-molded parts in the automotive lighting industry are fixed flatbeds, flip-top flatbeds, or drawer-type flatbeds. For example, patent CN210554924U discloses a drawer-type material cart, which includes a bracket with several symmetrical support rods on both sides of the bracket. A shelf is slidably disposed between two opposing support rods. The left and right side walls of the shelf are disposed in sliding grooves opened in the inner walls of the support rods. At least one side of the shelf is provided with a locking device that engages with the bracket. Patent CN203713930U discloses a dustproof material cart, which includes a frame with wheels at the bottom. The frame is covered by a dustproof cloth cover, which shields the top, rear, and sides of the cart, preventing dust from entering and adhering to the glass. This provides good dust protection and creates a dark environment inside the cart, facilitating inspection of glass defects by light. The frame includes four vertically arranged columns and support partitions. Each support partition has sleeves at its four corners, and the sleeves at each corner of each support partition are respectively fitted and fixed to the four columns, forming a detachable structure. The frame is easy to assemble and disassemble, and its detachability facilitates storage and transportation. The structure is simple. Each support partition has a buffer pad, which effectively cushions the glass, preventing damage caused by vibration during transport.

[0003] However, the drawer-type material cart provided by patent CN210554924U has the problem that external dust can directly fall onto the surface of the parts during long-term storage, causing rework or scrapping of the materials. The material cart provided by patent CN203713930U has the problem of materials being scrapped due to collisions during transportation. Therefore, to prevent materials from being bumped or damaged, they need to be wrapped with PE film or electrostatic film before being placed into the material cart. This greatly increases manufacturing costs, and the aforementioned material carts can only be manually transferred, resulting in high labor intensity and low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment 1 designs a material cart for storing injection-molded parts for automotive lights. The material cart includes the following specific structural configuration:

[0044] The main frame 1 has several support beams 11 symmetrically arranged on opposite sides in the Y-axis direction, extending along the X-axis direction. Each support beam 11 has a through-hole groove 12 with a "C"-shaped cross-section along the X-axis direction. One end of each support beam 11 is also provided with a first notch 13 communicating with the groove 12. The main frame 1 is also provided with several first bearings 14, which are respectively located near the other end of the support beams 11 (the end opposite to the first notch 13) on the main frame 1. Each support beam 11 is also provided with a guide plate 15, which is located near the entrance of the groove 12 (i.e., near the first bearing 14). The bottom of the main frame 1 is also provided with several reinforcing rods 16, which are used to support the AGV transfer trolley to transfer the material cart as a whole.

[0045] Several movable frames 2, each with a rectangular frame structure, are movably mounted on opposite sides in the Y-axis direction within the grooves 12 of two symmetrically arranged support beams 11. After the movable frame 2 is fully inserted into the groove 12, it is limited by a first notch 13 at the end of the support beam 11, forming a drawer-type connection structure (the movable frame 2 is movably mounted inside the main frame 1). Several "V"-shaped anti-static bags 25 for storing injection-molded parts for vehicle lights are also hung within the movable frame 2. The first bearing 14 can roll in contact with the movable frame 2, allowing it to move smoothly back and forth within the groove 12. Guide plates 15 on the support beams 11 guide the movable frame 2 smoothly into the groove 12 and prevent it from falling out. Simultaneously, the first bearing 14, together with the first notch 13, limits the two ends of the movable frame 2 in the X-axis direction. After all the movable frames 2 are installed in the grooves 12, a stacked structure is formed in the Z-axis direction, where the movable frames 2 do not contact each other. Figure 4 As shown;

[0046] Dust cover 2 is fitted on the outside of the main frame 1 and fixed to the main frame 1 by clamping strip 8. Dust cover 2 can be used to cover the antistatic cloth bag 25 inside (equivalent to the injection molded parts of the headlights). The dust cover 3 is also provided with a dust cover movable door 31 for storing and retrieving the injection molded parts of the headlights.

[0047] Handle 4 is located on the outside of the main frame 1 and also on the outside of the dust cover 2;

[0048] The first label box 5 is located on the lower exterior of the main frame 1 and is used to place the AGV vehicle identification QR code.

[0049] The second label box 6 is located on the outside of the main frame 1 and is used to record information about the injection-molded parts of the vehicle lights stored in the antistatic bag 25.

[0050] And several casters 7, which are located at the bottom of the main frame 1, for temporary manual movement of the material cart.

[0051] Specifically, the active frame 2 in the above embodiment 1 includes the following structural configuration:

[0052] The first frame beam 21 is provided in two sections, which are arranged along the Y-axis. The first frame beam 21 has a mounting groove 211 that runs through both ends and has a "C" shaped cross-section along the Y-axis. The end of the first frame beam 21 is also provided with a second notch 212 that communicates with the mounting groove 211.

[0053] The second frame beam 22 is provided as two beams, which are arranged along the X-axis. Together with the two first frame beams 21, they form a rectangular frame structure. The second frame beam 22 is used to make rolling contact with the first bearing 14, thereby facilitating its movement in the slide groove 12.

[0054] Several hanging beams 23 are configured as cylindrical structures, with limiting plates 231 at both ends along the X-axis. The limiting plates 231 at both ends of the hanging beam 23 are movably installed in the mounting groove 211 through the second notch 212. The limiting plates 231 can prevent the hanging beam 23 from falling off the mounting groove 211. The middle cylindrical part of the hanging beam 23 can be used to hang the antistatic cloth bag 25 with a "V" structure.

[0055] And the second bearing 24, which is provided in two, is respectively located at the ends of the two second frame beams 22. It is used to roll contact with the slide 12 and cooperate with the first notch 13 to limit the movable frame 2. The second bearing 24 on the second frame beam 22 and the first bearing 14 on the main frame 1 can make the movable frame 2 move back and forth in the slide 12 smoothly to form a drawer-type structure.

[0056] In the material cart of Embodiment 1 described above, the dust cover 3 is made of transparent soft glass, and the dust cover 1 is fixed around its perimeter by clamping strips 8. A caster mounting plate 9 can also be fixedly installed on the main frame 1. The casters 7 are connected to the caster mounting plate 9 by screw fastening, which facilitates the replacement of the casters 7. The main function of the casters 7 is to allow operators to manually move the material cart temporarily. The handle 4 is securely connected to the main frame 1, and its main function is to facilitate the operator to manually move the material cart temporarily.

[0057] In the above embodiment 1, the main frame 1 is symmetrically and evenly provided with a plurality of first bearings 14. The first bearings 14 are fastened to the main frame 1 by screws. Their main function is to facilitate the movable frame 2 to enter the entrance of the slide 12 through the first bearings 14 and to allow the movable frame 2 to move back and forth in the slide 12 through the first bearings 14 and the second bearings 24. Specifically, when the bottom plane of the movable frame 2 (i.e. the second frame beam 22) falls on the first bearing 14, the movable frame 2 can easily move back and forth in the slide 12. When the movable frame 9 is fully inserted into the slide 12, its bottom plane will be lower than the first bearing 14. At this time, the first bearing 14 can limit the movable frame 2. At the same time, when the movable frame 9 is fully inserted into the slide 12, the second bearing 24 on it will enter the first notch 13. At this time, the two ends of the movable frame 2 in the X-axis direction are limited by the first bearing 14 and the first notch 13 respectively, which can ensure that the movable frame 2 is prevented from moving back and forth during transportation. The antistatic cloth bag 25 is hung on the movable frame 2. It is mainly used to place the injection molded parts of the car lights and to prevent the materials from bumping into each other.

[0058] The guide plate 15 in Embodiment 1 mainly serves to guide the second frame beam 22 and prevent it from falling out of the slide groove 12, that is, to prevent the movable frame 2 from derailing when it is pulled back and forth in the slide groove 12. The hanging beam 23 in Embodiment 1 has a cylindrical structure design, which allows it to move freely within the mounting groove 211, so that the antistatic bag 25 can be adapted to the placement of different automotive lamp injection molded parts.

[0059] The material cart designed in Example 1 includes a main frame 1 with casters 7 at the bottom and a fully enclosed transparent soft glass dust cover 3 on the outside to prevent external dust from entering the cart and adhering to the material surface. Several C-shaped support beams 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main frame 1, as are several first bearings 14. First and second label boxes 5 and 6 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the main frame 1, and several layers of movable frames are internally arranged. Second bearings 24 are symmetrically arranged at one end of each movable frame 2. Antistatic bags 25 are installed in the movable frames 2 via cylindrical hanging beams 23. Each layer of movable frames 2 can easily move back and forth in the chute 12 under the action of the first and second bearings 14 and 24, thus facilitating the rapid loading and unloading of materials.

[0060] The material cart in Example 1 has a simple structure. The anti-static cloth bag 25 effectively prevents materials from being damaged by impact, eliminating the need for further packaging and protection, thus saving on material storage costs. Furthermore, it is equipped with an AGV transfer cart with identification label boxes, enabling precise unmanned material transport. This effectively reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency.

[0061] The above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
