Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tire storage equipment, specifically to a rainwater drainage device for outdoor tire stacking. Background Technology

[0002] During the production, warehousing, and transportation of passenger radial tires, insufficient indoor storage space often necessitates the temporary storage of tires outdoors. Traditional outdoor stacking methods typically involve horizontal stacking, forming tire piles with an area of ​​approximately 1.5-3 square meters, which are then covered with tarpaulins.

[0003] However, storing tires outdoors also presents some problems. On the one hand, horizontally stacked tires form indented areas due to the natural curvature of the tire sidewalls, where rainwater easily accumulates. Long-term retention can cause the airtight layer and sidewall rubber to become damp and age, and even breed mold. On the other hand, tarpaulins have poor wind resistance, and strong winds can easily lift the tarpaulins, requiring frequent re-covering, which increases labor costs.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a rainwater drainage device for outdoor tire stacking that overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address this issue, this utility model provides a rainwater drainage device for outdoor tire stacking, which solves the problems in the prior art where rainwater easily accumulates in the recessed area inside the tire and the tarpaulin has poor wind resistance, requiring frequent re-covering, which leads to moisture aging of the airtight layer and sidewall rubber, as well as increased labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] Anti-slip fixing components are provided in pairs at the bottom of the rainproof guide cover, and the anti-slip fixing components are used to fix the rainproof guide cover.

[0011] Furthermore, a number of drainage grooves are provided on the side wall of the central support plate, and the drainage grooves are internally connected to the drain outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the central support plate has a protrusion around the drain outlet for fixing the tire position.

[0013] Furthermore, the top edge of the central support disk extends downwards at an angle to form a conical annular surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the center of the rainproof guide cover is recessed inward to form a recessed portion, and the edge of the rainproof guide cover is bent downward to form a guide portion.

[0015] Furthermore, the anti-slip fixing component includes:

[0016] The columns are installed in pairs at the bottom of the rainproof guide cover;

[0017] A fixing pin is rotatably connected between the two columns, and a receiving groove is provided on the side wall of the fixing pin;

[0018] A limiting plate is provided on the side wall of the column near the fixing pin, and a plurality of prisms are provided on the side wall of the limiting plate.

[0019] The limiting pin is L-shaped and slidably connected in the receiving groove. One end of the spring is connected to the side wall of the limiting pin, and the other end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove.

[0020] A sliding groove is formed on the bottom wall of the fixing pin. The sliding groove is internally connected to the receiving groove. The end of the limiting pin passes through the sliding groove and can slide along the sliding groove.

[0021] Furthermore, the cross-section of the prism is triangular, and several of the prisms are arranged in a circumferential array on the side wall of the limiting disk, and the end of the limiting pin that contacts the prism forms a driving inclined surface.

[0022] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0023] This invention, by setting a central support plate and a rainproof guide cover, forms a rapid rainwater drainage channel, preventing water accumulation in the tire sidewall recesses and effectively preventing moisture-induced aging and mold growth in the airtight layer and sidewall rubber. The drainage hose length can be adjusted to accommodate different stacking heights, demonstrating good versatility and scalability. The anti-slip fixing component ensures the rainproof guide cover is tightly secured to the top of the tire, preventing it from being blown off by strong winds, reducing manual maintenance costs. Furthermore, the anti-slip fixing component is easy to operate, making the device convenient to assemble and disassemble, thus improving installation efficiency.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The present invention discloses a rainwater drainage device for outdoor tire stacking. The present invention consists of three parts, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a central support plate 1, a rainproof guide cover 2, and an anti-slip fixing component 3. The central support plate 1 is circular, and a drain outlet 11 is provided at the center of the central support plate 1. The central support plate 1 is used to stack tires. The bottom of the rainproof guide cover 2 is provided with a drain outlet 21. One end of a drain hose 22 is threaded to the bottom of the drain outlet 21, and the other end of the drain hose 22 extends into the drain outlet 11. The rainproof guide cover 2 is used to cover the top of the tire. The anti-slip fixing components 3 are arranged in pairs and are provided at the bottom of the rainproof guide cover 2. The anti-slip fixing components 3 are used to fix the rainproof guide cover 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the main function of the central support plate 1 is to stack tires and drain rainwater through the drain outlet 11. The top surface of the central support plate 1, near the drain outlet 11, is a horizontal plane with a circular outline, facilitating the horizontal stacking of tires on top of the central support plate 1. The bottom of the central support plate 1 can be raised or placed on grass or above a sewer to prevent rainwater accumulation at the drain outlet 11. Preferably, the bottom of the central support plate 1 can be equipped with casters, allowing the central support plate 1 to support the tire stack and move or fix its position. Preferably, the central support plate 1 is made of lightweight waterproof plastic or corrosion-resistant metal.

[0037] The rainproof guide cover 2 can guide rainwater through the drain outlet 21 and the drain hose 22 to the drain outlet 11 at the center of the central support plate 1, preventing rainwater from accumulating in the recessed area formed by the natural bending of the tire sidewall.

[0038] The anti-skid fixing component 3 is fixed to the tire through the longitudinal tread grooves on the tire tread. Since all passenger car tires have longitudinal tread grooves, this will definitely provide a secure fit. However, slick tires, like those used in Formula 1, are not universally applicable and are not discussed here. Two anti-skid fixing components 3 are positioned opposite each other on either side of the bottom of the rain cover 2, fixing it from opposite directions to create a "symmetrical interlocking" effect, thus strengthening the fixing effect of the anti-skid fixing components 3. Due to the anti-skid fixing components 3, the rain cover 2 can fit tightly against the tire. Since the tire is made of rubber and has a certain degree of deformation capability, it can fit snugly against the rain cover 2, preventing rainwater from entering through gaps.

[0039] By setting up a central support plate 1 and a rainproof guide cover 2, a rapid rainwater diversion channel is formed, preventing water accumulation in the tire sidewall depressions and effectively preventing moisture aging and mold growth in the airtight layer and sidewall rubber. The length of the drainage hose 22 can be adjusted to accommodate different stacking heights, demonstrating good versatility and scalability. The anti-slip fixing component 3 ensures that the rainproof guide cover 2 is tightly fixed to the top of the tire, preventing it from being blown off by strong winds, reducing manual maintenance costs. Furthermore, the anti-slip fixing component 3 is easy to operate, making the device convenient to assemble and disassemble, thus improving installation efficiency. By setting up the rainproof guide cover 2 and the anti-slip fixing component 3, the requirement of forming an entire tire stack with a single tire covered is met, avoiding the inconvenience of traditional tarpaulin-based overall coverage. Any tire can be used individually, improving storage and transportation efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, several drainage grooves 12 are formed on the side wall of the central support plate 1, and the drainage grooves 12 are internally connected to the drain outlets 11. The specific shape of the central support plate 1 is as follows. Figure 3 As shown, by setting the drainage channel 12, the water flow at the drain outlet 11 can be discharged without the central support plate 1 being raised, thus enhancing the versatility of the central support plate 1.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, a protrusion 13 for fixing the tire position is formed around the drain outlet 11 on the top of the central support plate 1. The position and shape of the protrusion 13 are as follows. Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 13 facilitates tire positioning and stable stacking.

[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the top edge of the central support disk 1 extends downwards at an angle to form a conical annular surface 14. The position of the conical annular surface 14 is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the top surface of the central support plate 1 is a horizontal plane near the drain outlet 11, and extends continuously and evenly downwards along the edge of the top to form a conical annular surface 14 around the center of the top surface. By setting the conical annular surface 14, rainwater at the contact point between the tire and the central support plate 1 can flow out along the conical annular surface 14, preventing water from accumulating at the contact point.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the center of the rainproof guide cover 2 is recessed inward to form a recessed portion 23, and the edge of the rainproof guide cover 2 is curved downward to form a guide portion 24. By providing the recessed portion 23 and the guide portion 24, the drainage effect of the rainproof guide cover 2 is improved.

[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the anti-slip fixing component 3 includes a column 31, a fixing pin 32, a limiting plate 34, a limiting pin 36, and a sliding groove 38. The columns 31 are arranged in pairs and are located at the bottom of the rainproof guide cover 2. The fixing pin 32 is rotatably connected between the two columns 31. A receiving groove 33 is provided on the side wall of the fixing pin 32. The limiting plate 34 is located on the side wall of the column 31 near the fixing pin 32. Several prisms 35 are provided on the side wall of the limiting plate 34. The limiting pin 36 is L-shaped and is slidably connected in the receiving groove 33. One end of a spring 37 is connected to the side wall of the limiting pin 36, and the other end of the spring 37 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 33. The sliding groove 38 is opened on the bottom wall of the fixing pin 32 and is internally connected to the receiving groove 33. The end of the limiting pin 36 passes through the sliding groove 38 and can slide along the sliding groove 38.

[0045] In this embodiment, the shapes of the limiting disk 34 and the limiting pin 36 are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, by setting a limiting plate 34, a limiting pin 36, and a spring 37, the end of the limiting pin 36 can be engaged with the prism 35 on the surface of the limiting plate 34, thereby fixing the angle of the fixing pin 32. Preferably, the cross-section of the prism 35 is triangular, and several prisms 35 are distributed in a circumferential array on the side wall of the limiting plate 34. The end of the limiting pin 36 that contacts the prism 35 forms a driving inclined surface 361, and the cross-section of the driving inclined surface 361 at the end of the limiting pin 36 is a triangle that matches the prism 35.

[0046] In use, rotating the fixing pin 32 upwards causes the limiting pin 36 to slide on the surface of the prism 35 and compress the spring 37. When the limiting pin 36 reaches the next prism 35, it will pop out under the action of the spring 37 and abut against the next prism 35, thus achieving unidirectional step-by-step adjustment when the fixing pin 32 rotates upwards. In this case, when the fixing pin 32 rotates downwards, the limiting pin 36 will be locked on the prism 35, fixing the fixing pin 32 in a fixed position. To release the fixation, press the limiting pin 36 relative to the bottom of the fixing pin 32 by hand, causing the limiting pin 36 to slide along the slide groove 38. The end of the limiting pin 36 that contacts the limiting plate 34 enters the receiving groove 33, at which point the fixing pin 32 can rotate downwards.

[0047] The retaining pin 32 is fixed to the longitudinal tread grooves on the tire tread, and its fixed state is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the two fixing pins 32 are inserted into the longitudinal tread groove from opposite directions. The angle of the fixing pins 32 is adjusted upward so that the rainproof cover 2 fits tightly with the tire until the fixing pins 32 can no longer rotate. Since the tire is made of rubber and has a certain deformation capacity, the rainproof cover 2 will fit tightly with the tire and be fixed in position at this time.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
