Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe storage rack technology, specifically a pipe storage shelf. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe storage racks are warehousing equipment specifically designed for various types of pipes (such as steel pipes, PVC pipes, aluminum profiles, etc.). They employ a multi-layer cantilever or beam structure, with stable connections between uprights, cantilever arms, and beams. The layer height and spacing can be flexibly adjusted according to the length, diameter, and weight of the pipes, enabling layered and categorized storage. The cantilever ends are typically equipped with anti-slip pads or protective sleeves to prevent pipes from slipping and causing surface abrasion. A reinforced base enhances stability. Suitable for warehouses, factories, and other similar locations, these racks fully utilize vertical space, improving storage efficiency while facilitating pipe access and management. They can be used in conjunction with forklifts and other equipment, effectively reducing problems such as disorderly stacking, compression deformation, and ensuring warehouse safety and orderly material flow.
[0003] Traditional pipe storage methods often involve floor stacking or simple shelving, which suffer from low space utilization, poor access efficiency, and easy damage to the pipes. When stacking on the floor, pipes can only be laid flat, leaving vertical space idle and occupying a large amount of warehouse space. Simple shelving, with its fixed layer spacing, makes it difficult to accommodate different specifications of pipes when mixed, and there is also significant waste of space between layers. In addition, when retrieving materials from lower layers, pipes on upper layers need to be moved, which can easily cause scratches and deformation on the pipe surfaces. Forklift operations are also limited and inefficient due to the disorderly placement of pipes. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pipe storage rack with advantages such as high space utilization and convenient and efficient storage and retrieval. It solves the problems mentioned in the background technology, such as idle vertical space due to traditional pipe floor stacking, large warehouse area occupation, fixed shelf spacing of simple shelves making it difficult to adapt to different specifications of pipes and serious space waste, and pipe surface scratches and deformation caused by stacked storage, and forklift operation being restricted and inefficient due to disordered placement.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned goals of high space utilization and convenient and efficient access, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pipe storage rack, including a base plate, a mounting plate one fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, support rods installed on both sides of the top of the mounting plate one, a mounting plate two fixedly connected to the top of the support rods, multiple support columns rotatably connected between the support rods and the mounting plate two, multiple support plates sleeved on the outer walls of the multiple support columns, and the two sides of the support plates fixedly connected to the support rods, and eight sets of support placement components rotatably connected to the outer walls of the support columns;
[0006] The support placement assembly includes multiple rotating shafts. Eight rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the outer walls of the multiple support columns. A swing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of a group of rotating shafts. A rotating rod passes through and rotates on the upper part of the side of the swing rod away from the rotating shaft. The multiple rotating rods pass through one side of the U-shaped feeding plate and are rotatably connected to the U-shaped feeding plate.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a swing groove is provided on one side of the swing rod, and a limiting slide rod is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the swing groove. The limiting slide rod passes through the support rod and is slidably connected. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting slide rod that passes through the support rod.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner cavity of the limiting slide rod is provided with limiting grooves on both the upper and lower sides, and springs are fixedly connected to the inner cavities of the two limiting grooves that are close to each other.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the two springs away from the limiting groove, and the limiting plate slides within the limiting groove.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a limiting slide rod passes through one of the two limiting plates on a relatively far side and is fixedly connected to an angled limiting block.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner cavity of the limiting slide rod is slidably connected to the upper and lower sides by an angled abutment plate, and the angled abutment plate abuts against the angled limiting block.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a push plate is fixedly connected to the limiting slide rod and the limiting plate on the side of the two oblique contact plates away from the limiting groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, when storing pipes, they are first placed on the top U-shaped feeding plate of the left and right side support components. Then, the operator pulls the push plate, which drives the limit slide rod to slide inside the support rod, causing the swing rod to swing. Then, the rotating rod drives the U-shaped feeding plate to retract inward and deviate from the vertical area of the lower U-shaped feeding plate. The design of five swing rods and one U-shaped feeding plate in each group realizes the orderly layered storage of pipes. The four sets of support components on each side swing in opposite directions, making full use of space and realizing the maximum amount of pipes that can be placed. Compared with the traditional method, it greatly improves the utilization rate of storage space.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, when the pipe is placed and the moving limiting slide bar is moved, the angled limiting block contacts the inner wall of the limiting groove. Under the pressure, the limiting plate slides and compresses the spring. When the swing rod swings to the predetermined angle, the angled limiting block passes through the limiting groove, the spring releases its elastic potential energy, and pushes the limiting plate and the angled limiting block to reset and lock on the other side of the limiting groove. This accurately limits the limiting slide bar, prevents the swing rod from shaking, and ensures the stability of the pipe storage. When the pipe is taken out, the push plate is pushed to drive the angled contact plate, causing the angled limiting block to compress the spring again and release the lock, so that the U-shaped feeding plate is reset. This facilitates forklift operation and ensures the stability of pipe storage and convenient retrieval. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the utility model, a pipe storage rack includes a base plate 1, an mounting plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, support rods 3 installed on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 2, a mounting plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the support rods 3, multiple support columns 5 rotatably connected between the support rods 3 and the mounting plate 4, multiple support plates 6 sleeved on the outer wall of the multiple support columns 5, and the two sides of the support plates 6 fixedly connected to the support rods 3, and eight sets of support placement components rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support columns 5. The eight sets of support placement components of the entire rack are symmetrically distributed on the left and right, with four sets on each side and a reverse swing design. When the pipes are placed, the reverse torque is used to effectively balance the gravity generated by the eccentric placement of the pipes.
[0024] The support and placement assembly includes multiple rotating shafts 7. Eight rotating shafts 7 are rotatably connected to the outer walls of multiple support columns 5. A swing rod 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of a set of rotating shafts 7. A rotating rod 9 passes through and rotates on the upper part of the side of the swing rod 8 away from the rotating shaft 7. The push plate 19 is pulled backward. As the push plate 19 applies force, the limiting slide rod 12 slides linearly in the guide groove of the support rod 3, so that the swing rod 8 swings rapidly in the direction of pulling with the rotating shaft 7 as the axis. During this process, the rotating shaft 7 rotates synchronously along the outer wall of the support column 5. Multiple rotating rods 9 pass through one side of the U-shaped feeding plate 10 and are rotatably connected to the U-shaped feeding plate 10. Each set of support and placement assembly includes five swing rods 8 and one U-shaped feeding plate 10. When any swing rod 8 is pulled, the rotating connection structure between the rotating rod 9 and the U-shaped feeding plate 10 can drive the other swing rods 8 to move synchronously, so that the U-shaped feeding plate 10 retracts inward and deviates laterally from the vertical area of the lower U-shaped feeding plate 10.
[0025] A swing rod 8 has a swing groove 11 on one side. The inner cavity of the swing groove 11 is rotatably connected to a limiting slide rod 12, which passes through the support rod 3 and is slidably connected. A limiting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting slide rod 12 that passes through the support rod 3. When the limiting slide rod 12 slides back to its initial position, the limiting plate 18 is limited at this point on one side of the support rod 3 to prevent it from detaching from the guide groove of the support rod 3 due to operating inertia or external impact. Limiting grooves 13 are opened on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the middle of the limiting slide rod 12. Springs 14 are fixedly connected to the sides of the inner cavities of the two limiting grooves 13 that are close to each other. A limiting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the two springs 14 that is away from the limiting grooves 13, and the limiting plate 15 slides in the limiting grooves 13. An angled limiting block 16 passes through the limiting slide rod 12 and is fixedly connected to the side of the two limiting plates 15 that are far apart from each other. An angled contact plate 17 is slidably connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of 2. The angled contact plate 17 abuts against the angled limiting block 16. Pushing the push plate 19 causes the angled contact plate 17 connected to it to move forward. After the inclined surface of the angled contact plate 17 contacts the angled limiting block 16, the continuously applied pushing force forces the angled limiting block 16 to drive the limiting plate 15 to compress the spring 14 again, releasing the locking state of the limiting slide rod 12. At this time, if the push plate 19 is pushed again, the limiting slide rod 12 slides in the opposite direction, causing the swing rod 8 to reset. By rotating the rod 9, the U-shaped feeding plate 10 returns to the initial horizontal position. The side of the two angled contact plates 17 away from the limiting groove 13 passes through the limiting slide rod 12 and the limiting plate 18 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 19. The two sides of the push plate 19 are fixedly connected to the limiting slide rod 12. When the push plate 19 is pulled, it will not disengage from the limiting slide rod 12. This is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During pipe storage operations, the pipe is first placed stably on the U-shaped feeding plate 10 on the top layer of the left and right side support and placement components. Then, the operator holds the push plate 19 and pulls it backward. As the push plate 19 applies force, the limiting slide rod 12 slides linearly in the guide groove of the support rod 3, causing the swing rod 8 to swing rapidly in the pulling direction with the rotation shaft 7 as the axis. During this process, the rotation shaft 7 rotates synchronously along the outer wall of the support column 5. Each support and placement component includes five swing rods 8 and one U-shaped feeding plate 10. When any swing rod 8 is pulled, the rotational connection structure between the rotation rod 9 and the U-shaped feeding plate 10 can drive the other swing rods 8 to move in the same direction. The first step causes the U-shaped feeding plate 10 to retract inward and laterally deviate from the vertical area of the lower U-shaped feeding plate 10. At the same time, when the limiting slide rod 12 moves, the inclined surface of the angled limiting block 16 contacts the inner wall of the limiting groove 13. The angled limiting block 16 is squeezed and drives the limiting plate 15 to slide into the limiting groove 13, compressing the built-in spring 14. When the swing rod 8 swings to the predetermined angle, the angled limiting block 16 crosses the limiting groove 13. At this time, the spring 14 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the limiting plate 15 and the angled limiting block 16 to reset and lock on the other side of the limiting groove 13 to limit the limiting slide rod 12, effectively preventing the swing rod 8 from shaking due to external force and ensuring the stability of the pipe storage state.
[0027] When pipes need to be picked up, the operator pushes the push plate 19, which moves the connected angled contact plate 17 forward. After the angled contact plate 17 contacts the angled limit block 16, the continuously applied pushing force forces the angled limit block 16 to drive the limit plate 15 to compress the spring 14 again, releasing the locking state of the limit slide rod 12. At this time, if the push plate 19 is pushed again, the limit slide rod 12 slides in the opposite direction, driving the swing rod 8 to reset. By rotating the rod 9, the U-shaped feeding plate 10 returns to the initial horizontal position, which makes it easy for the forklift to accurately pick up the pipes.
[0028] It should be noted that the eight sets of support components of the entire rack are symmetrically distributed, with four sets on each side and a counter-swing design. When placing pipes, the counter-torque effectively balances the gravity generated by the eccentric placement of the pipes, avoids the risk of rack tilting, ensures storage stability, and solves the problems of space waste and inefficiency in traditional storage.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
