Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of limiting devices, and in particular to a limiting device that can be used for compartmentalized storage in ports. Background Technology

[0002] In port logistics management, cargo storage and handling are crucial aspects. To improve port operational efficiency and reduce conflicts between cargo, ports typically store cargo in compartments according to certain rules. To ensure cargo stability during storage and prevent misalignment or tilting during transportation or storage, the application of limiting devices is particularly important.

[0003] However, current market-available limit devices still have certain limitations in design and application. Especially when goods need to be removed from the limit device, because the device itself often lacks a buffer function, the goods are prone to swaying due to external forces when lifted out. This swaying not only increases the difficulty of operation but may also damage the limit device itself due to the instantaneous impact, thus affecting its long-term effectiveness and safety.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a limiting device that can be used for compartmentalized storage in ports. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of lacking buffer function, this utility model provides a limiting device that can be used for compartmentalized storage in ports.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example: A limiting device that can be used for compartmentalized storage in ports, such as... Figures 1-7As shown, the system includes a mounting plate 1, a support plate 2, a limiting plate 3, a connecting frame 4, a fixing block 5, an electric push rod 6, a connecting rod 7, a rack 8, a gear 9, a push plate 10, a buffer plate 11, a spring 12, a connecting block 13, a pressure edge strip 14, a connecting wire end 15, a marking plate 16, and a light strip 17. A pad is added to the bottom of the mounting plate 1 to increase the friction between the bottom of the mounting plate 1 and the ground, providing an anti-slip function. The mounting plate 1 serves as the basic support component of the equipment, used to fix and support other components, providing a stable installation platform. The support plate 2 is connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. Four limiting plates 3 are evenly spaced longitudinally connected to the top of the mounting plate 1. The limiting plates 3 are used to divide the equipment space, forming multiple independent storage areas for initial handling of goods. To limit and separate the steps and prevent collisions between goods, a set of connecting frames 4 is connected between the front sides of the four limiting plates 3, a set of connecting frames 4 is connected between the rear sides of the four limiting plates 3, and a set of connecting frames 4 is also connected between the middle of the four limiting plates 3. Three sets of connecting frames 4 are also connected to the top of the support plate 2. Each set of connecting frames 4 consists of four frames, and the four connecting frames 4 in each set are evenly spaced. Three sets of fixing blocks 5 are connected to the top of both the mounting plate 1 and the support plate 2. Each set of fixing blocks 5 consists of two blocks, and every two fixing blocks 5 are symmetrically designed. An electric push rod 6 is installed on each of the right-side fixing blocks 5. The push rod of the electric push rod 6 is horizontally connected to a connecting rod 7. The left end of the connecting rod 7 slides against the adjacent fixing block 5. The connection is achieved by attaching racks 8 to the outer sides of connecting rods 7, and rotating gears 9 at the top center of each connecting frame 4. Every four gears 9 on the same side mesh with adjacent racks 8. The extension and retraction of the push rod of the electric push rod 6 provides power to the connecting rods 7, driving the racks 8. Push plates 10 are connected to the bottom of each gear 9, located inside adjacent connecting frames 4. Inside each connecting frame 4, front and rear sides are elastically connected to buffer plates 11 via springs 12. The outer side of the buffer plates 11 is equipped with a sponge pad to reduce friction between the buffer plates 11 and the outer wall of the goods. When the gears 9 drive the push plates 10 to rotate, the push plates 10 move outwards towards the buffer plates 11, compressing the springs 12 and causing the buffer plates 11 to... 1. Pressure strips 14 are installed laterally on the front and rear sides of the inner side of the support plate 2, and also laterally along the edge of the middle of the support plate 2. Protective shells are provided on the outer sides of the pressure strips 14 to prevent them from being damaged. The right end of the pressure strip 14 is connected and fixed to the support plate 2 via a connecting block 13. The pressure strips 14 are used to detect the pressure of the goods. When the goods are placed on the support plate 2, the pressure strips 14 can sense the pressure changes. A connecting wire 15 is connected to the left end of the pressure strip 14. The connecting wire 15 is used to transmit the pressure signal detected by the pressure strip 14 to external equipment to monitor the pressure of the goods.A label plate 16 is symmetrically arranged on the top right side of the support plate 2. The label plate 16 is used to indicate the storage location and type of goods, facilitating goods management and retrieval by staff. A light strip 17 is symmetrically and vertically installed on the top left side of the support plate 2. The light strip 17 is located outside the left-side fixing block 5 and provides illumination in low-light conditions or at night, facilitating goods handling and inspection by staff.

[0025] When using the port-mounted limit switch, first select a suitable and flat site in the port, clear away debris and obstacles, and ensure the installation area is clean and tidy. Place the limit switch stably in the selected position, and then connect the connecting wire 15 of the pressure strip 14 to the external pressure monitoring equipment to ensure smooth signal transmission. At the same time, prepare an external power supply to provide power to the electric push rod 6 and the light strip 17.

[0026] Based on the type, specifications, and storage requirements of the goods, and in conjunction with the information such as the storage location and type of goods marked on the top label plate 16 of the support plate 2, the staff plans the storage location of the goods. Using port lifting equipment, the goods are lifted and moved above the limiting device. The height of the goods is slowly lowered so that they are placed on the mounting plate 1. This operation is repeated to place the goods. When the mounting plate 1 is full of goods, subsequent goods continue to be stacked on top of the already placed goods until the goods gradually approach the support plate 2. When the goods come into contact with the support plate 2, the pressure strip 14 senses the pressure change of the goods and transmits the pressure signal to external equipment through the connecting wire 15. Based on the pressure signal and the actual situation of the goods, the staff fine-tunes the position of the goods to ensure accurate placement.

[0027] Based on the size of the goods and storage requirements, the corresponding electric push rod 6 is activated. The push rod of the electric push rod 6 extends and retracts, providing power to the connecting rod 7, which in turn drives the rack 8. The rack 8 drives the gear 9 meshing with it to rotate, and the push plate 10 at the bottom of the gear 9 rotates accordingly. The push plate 10 pushes the buffer plate 11 to move outward, the spring 12 is compressed, and the sponge pad on the outside of the buffer plate 11 contacts the outer wall of the goods, limiting the movement of the goods and preventing them from shaking during hoisting and removal.

[0028] Staff regularly inspect the equipment, including checking the stability of mounting plate 1 and support plate 2, the connection of limit plate 3 and connecting frame 4, the operating status of electric push rod 6 and rack 8, and the pressure sensing status of pressure strip 14, to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0029] Based on the entry and exit of goods, update the information such as the storage location and type of goods on the label board 16 in a timely manner to facilitate the management and retrieval of goods by staff.

[0030] When working in low light or at night, turn on the light strip 17 to provide lighting for staff, facilitating the handling and inspection of goods.

[0031] Although this disclosure has been shown and described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. Therefore, the scope of this disclosure should not be limited to the above embodiments, but should be defined not only by the appended claims, but also by their equivalents.
