Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sheet metal storage technology, and specifically relates to a hanging storage device for automotive sheet metal parts. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive sheet metal parts hanging storage devices are a type of equipment specifically designed for storing automotive sheet metal parts, such as doors, hoods, fenders, chassis components, etc. The sheet metal parts are placed on cantilevered hanging storage racks or multi-layer frame hanging storage racks using forklifts or cranes, avoiding direct contact with the ground or stacking and squeezing.

[0003] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN218313474U discloses a hanging and storage device for automotive sheet metal parts. It includes a support frame for hanging automotive sheet metal parts, an operating groove on the bottom side of the support frame, an installation plate at the opening of the operating groove, a transmission worm gear rotatably connected to the installation plate via a bearing, a sliding groove on the front side of the support frame, a screw rod located within the sliding groove on the support frame, and a worm wheel extending from the bottom of the screw rod through the sliding groove to the operating groove. A movable seat is sleeved on the screw rod. This utility model, by providing a retractable snap-fit ​​seat on the hanging seat, facilitates the hanging of automotive sheet metal parts with relatively small apertures, increasing the applicability of the hanging and storage device for automotive sheet metal parts. Simultaneously, the snap-fit ​​seat moves upward under the elastic force of the support spring, and the abutment block abuts against the automotive sheet metal part under the torsional force of the torsion spring, preventing the sheet metal part from easily shaking and scratching when hanging on the hook during a collision, ensuring the relative stability of the hanging and storage of automotive sheet metal parts.

[0004] When storing automotive sheet metal parts, this storage device cannot push the parts to the inner side of the cantilever near the pillar. This causes the parts to concentrate at the far end of the cantilever during long-term storage, resulting in the cantilever being subjected to a large bending moment and deforming, which can damage the device. Furthermore, when workers need to adjust the spacing between the pillars, they must disassemble and reassemble the pillars and connecting rods, a process that consumes a lot of time and requires human judgment to determine errors during installation, increasing labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hanging and storage device for automotive sheet metal parts, which has the advantages of pushing the sheet metal parts to the inside of the cantilever during storage and quickly adjusting the gap between the columns when needed.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a hanging and storage device for automotive sheet metal parts, comprising two bases, a column fixedly installed on the top of the bases, three cantilever arms fastened to the surface of the column by bolts, a pushing component fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the cantilever arms, a positioning component fixedly installed on the top of the bases, the positioning component including a limiting plate, and a connecting rod slidably connected to the surface of the limiting plate.

[0007] The above technical solution involves the following steps: Sheet metal parts requiring storage are placed on top of the cantilever using a crane or forklift. The pushing assembly is then activated. The push plate and angled positioning shell within the pushing assembly work together to push the sheet metal parts to the inside of the cantilever, where they contact the buffer pad. This prevents the cantilever from bending due to excessive weight at the far end during storage. When quick adjustment of the spacing between the columns is needed during use, the user loosens the knob and threaded rod combination in the locking assembly. The structure connected to the base is then pushed to the designated position. The knob, threaded rod, and fixing plate then secure the position of the base and columns, allowing for rapid adjustment of the spacing between the columns during use.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the pushing component includes a hydraulic rod, a push plate is fixedly installed on the front side of the hydraulic rod, and the surface of the push plate is movably connected to the inner cavity of the cantilever.

[0009] The above technical solution is adopted: a stable pushing and pulling force is provided by a hydraulic rod, and the push plate slides along the cantilever surface to push the automotive sheet metal parts placed on the top of the cantilever and smaller than the cantilever length to the inside. At the same time, the hydraulic transmission can flexibly adjust the pushing and pulling force distance to adapt to the smooth transfer of different types of sheet metal parts and prevent the sheet metal parts from deforming or falling off due to uneven force applied manually.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that locking rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the front side of the cantilever, and an inclined positioning shell is engaged with the surface of the locking rod, and the inner cavity of the inclined positioning shell is in contact with the cantilever.

[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: by engaging the locking rod with the inclined positioning shell, the cantilever front end is provided with inclined support, the downward pressure generated when the sheet metal parts are placed is dispersed, and the hydraulic rod and push plate are used to push the sheet metal parts.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a buffer pad is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the cantilever, and the rear side of the buffer pad is in contact with the column.

[0013] The above technical solution involves using a buffer pad to create elastic contact between the sheet metal part and the column during the pushing process. Once the sheet metal part is pushed to the designated position, the buffer pad can absorb the impact energy, reduce the rigid collision between the sheet metal part and the column, reduce noise, and protect the contact surfaces of both parts from wear.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the limiting plate, a knob is fixedly installed on the rear side of the threaded rod, and a retaining plate is provided on the front side of the knob.

[0015] The above technical solution involves rotating a knob to move a threaded rod along the thread of a limiting plate, which, in conjunction with a retaining plate, presses the base and connecting rod forward to lock their relative positions. This allows for quick adjustment of the column spacing before fixing, making the operation simple and the fixation reliable, thus meeting the storage needs of sheet metal parts of different lengths.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting rod, and a limiting block is fixedly installed on the top of the rear side of the column, and the surface of the limiting block is slidably connected to the connecting frame.

[0017] The above technical solution is adopted: the sliding cooperation between the connecting frame and the limiting block provides guidance for adjusting the distance between the column and the base, ensuring that the column slides smoothly along a straight line and avoiding structural misalignment caused by deviation.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. When storing sheet metal parts, after placing them on top of the cantilever using a crane or forklift, start the pushing assembly. Through the cooperation of the push plate and the inclined positioning shell in the pushing assembly, the sheet metal parts are pushed to the inside of the cantilever and come into contact with the buffer pad, thereby preventing the cantilever from bending due to excessive weight at the far end during storage.

[0020] 2. When it is necessary to quickly adjust the spacing between the columns during use, the user loosens the knob and threaded rod combination in the locking assembly, pushes the structure connected to the base to the designated position, and then fixes the position of the base and the column by the cooperation of the knob, threaded rod and fixing plate, thereby completing the quick adjustment of the spacing between the columns during use.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A hanging and storage device for automotive sheet metal parts includes two bases 1, a column 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, three cantilever arms 3 being bolted to the surface of the column 2, and a push assembly 4 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the cantilever arms 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the actuating component 4 includes a hydraulic rod 401, and a push plate 402 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the hydraulic rod 401. The surface of the push plate 402 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the cantilever 3.

[0029] Furthermore, locking rods 403 are fixedly installed on both sides of the front side of the cantilever 3. An inclined positioning shell 404 is engaged with the surface of the locking rod 403, and the inner cavity of the inclined positioning shell 404 is in contact with the cantilever 3.

[0030] Furthermore, a buffer pad 405 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the top of the cantilever 3, and the rear side of the buffer pad 405 contacts the column 2.

[0031] Brief description of usage: When storing sheet metal parts, after placing them on top of the cantilever 3 using a crane or forklift, and then pushing them to the inside of the cantilever 3, the hydraulic rod 401 is activated to move the push plate 402. With the cooperation of the inclined positioning shell 404, the sheet metal parts are pushed to the inside of the cantilever 3 and positioned after contact with the buffer plate. This prevents the cantilever 3 from bending due to excessive weight at the far end during storage. The hydraulic rod 401 provides a stable pushing and pulling force, and the push plate 402 slides along the surface of the cantilever 3, pushing the automotive sheet metal parts placed on top of the cantilever 3 and shorter than the cantilever 3 to the inside. Simultaneously, the hydraulic transmission can be flexibly adjusted. The push-pull distance is adjusted to accommodate the smooth transfer of different types of sheet metal parts, preventing deformation or falling of sheet metal parts due to uneven manual pushing force. The locking rod 403 and the inclined positioning shell 404 are engaged to provide inclined support for the front end of the cantilever 3, dispersing the downward pressure generated when the sheet metal parts are placed. The auxiliary hydraulic rod 401 and push plate 402 push the sheet metal parts. The buffer pad 405 forms an elastic contact between the sheet metal parts and the column 2 when the sheet metal parts are pushed. When the sheet metal parts are pushed to the designated position, the buffer pad 405 can absorb the impact energy, reduce the rigid collision between the sheet metal parts and the column 2, reduce noise and protect the contact surfaces of the two from wear.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A hanging and storage device for automotive sheet metal parts includes a base 1, a locking component 5 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, the locking component 5 including a limiting plate 501, and a connecting rod 6 slidably connected to the surface of the limiting plate 501.

[0034] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the limiting plate 501 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 502, a knob 503 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the threaded rod 502, and a retaining plate 504 is provided on the front side of the knob 503.

[0035] Furthermore, a connecting bracket 505 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting rod 6, and a limiting block 506 is fixedly installed on the top of the rear side of the column 2. The surface of the limiting block 506 is slidably connected to the connecting bracket 505.

[0036] Brief description of usage: When it is necessary to quickly adjust the distance between the columns 2, the user loosens the knob 503 and the threaded rod 502 to disengage them from the limiting plate 501. Then, the structure connected to the base 1 is pushed to the designated position. Rotating the knob 503 drives the threaded rod 502 to connect with the limiting plate 501. At the same time, the positions of the base 1, columns 2, and connecting rod 6 are fixed by the fixing plate 504 and the limiting bracket. This allows for quick adjustment of the distance between the columns 2. Rotating the knob 503 drives the threaded rod 502 to move along the thread of the limiting plate 501. The fixing plate 504 presses the base 1 and connecting rod 6 forward, locking their relative positions. This facilitates quick adjustment and fixation of the distance between the columns 2. The operation is simple and reliable, adapting to the storage needs of sheet metal parts of different lengths. The sliding cooperation between the connecting bracket 505 and the limiting block 506 provides guidance for adjusting the distance between the columns 2 and the base 1, ensuring that the columns 2 slide smoothly along a straight line and avoiding structural misalignment caused by deviation.

[0037] It should be noted that parts have a lifespan and can be replaced during regular maintenance when they no longer meet performance requirements. Deterioration in performance due to prolonged use of parts is not a design defect of this application.
