Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a connecting component, specifically a connecting component that can be used to connect uprights, and belongs to the field of palletizing rack technology. Background Technology

[0002] Palletizing racks are essential containers in warehousing and logistics. To save space, they are typically stacked vertically for storage and transportation. Currently, adjacent palletizing racks are usually held in place by their own weight. This method poses a significant risk during transport because vehicles may tilt due to inclines or declines, potentially causing adjacent racks to fall over, resulting in material loss and safety hazards. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a connecting component that can be used for docking columns. It has high stacking stability, is not easy to tip over, is convenient and quick to use, and has a simple and reasonable structure.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a connecting component that can be used to connect uprights, including a plurality of upright bodies arranged around a stacking rack; the stacking rack is stacked vertically by the uprights; a tray is arranged between the uprights, and a crossbeam is arranged between two uprights; a locking mechanism is arranged on the crossbeam; an opening is provided at the upper end of the upright relative to the locking mechanism; the crossbeam is located below the tray; the locking mechanism located in the upper stacking rack is engaged in the opening of the upright of the adjacent lower stacking rack.

[0005] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a first sliding arm and a second sliding arm disposed on the crossbeam; a slider is disposed on the lower side of the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm; a hinge seat is disposed on the slider; the lower sides of the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm are hinged to the hinge seat; and a guide rail for sliding the slider is disposed on the crossbeam.

[0006] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a locking block; the locking block is slidably connected within the guide rail; the lower ends of the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm are hinged to the locking block.

[0007] Furthermore, a pressure block is provided at the upper end of the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm; the pressure block is hinged to the upper end of the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm respectively; a screw is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the pressure block.

[0008] Furthermore, the edge of the tray is provided with a screw hole; the screw is helically connected to the screw hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower part of the column is opened into the inner cavity; the upper end of the adjacent lower column is inserted into the inner cavity; a through hole is opened on the surface of the inner cavity; the through hole and the opening are arranged opposite to each other; the locking block passes through the through hole and is inserted into the opening.

[0010] This invention offers the following advantages: When adjacent stacking racks are aligned and the lower column is inserted into the inner cavity of the upper column, operating the locking mechanism allows the locking blocks at both ends to penetrate the through holes on the inner cavity surface and insert into the opening at the upper end of the lower column. This method effectively positions the stacking racks between adjacent racks. The locking mechanism can have four components to position the stacking racks in all four directions (front, back, left, and right), or two components to limit movement only in the vehicle's forward direction, preventing the stacking racks from tipping over due to vehicle tilt. The entire locking process requires no external fasteners, making it extremely convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0015] See Figures 1-2 This application discloses a connecting assembly for docking columns, comprising several column bodies arranged around a stacking rack; the stacking rack is stacked vertically by the columns 1; a tray 2 is provided between the columns 1, and a crossbeam 3 is provided between two columns 1; a locking mechanism is provided on the crossbeam 3; an opening 4 is provided at the upper end of the column 1 relative to the locking mechanism; the crossbeam 3 is located below the tray 2; the locking mechanism located in the upper stacking rack is engaged in the opening 4 of the column of the adjacent lower stacking rack.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a first sliding arm 5 and a second sliding arm 6 disposed on the crossbeam 3; a guide rail is disposed on the crossbeam 3.

[0017] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a locking block 8; the locking block 8 is slidably connected within the guide rail; the lower ends of the first sliding arm 5 and the second sliding arm 6 are hinged to the locking block 8.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper ends of the first sliding arm 5 and the second sliding arm 6 are provided with pressure blocks 9; the pressure blocks 9 are respectively hinged to the upper ends of the first sliding arm 5 and the second sliding arm 6; and the upper surface of the pressure blocks 9 is rotatably connected with screws 10.

[0019] Furthermore, the edge of the tray 2 is provided with a screw hole 11; the screw 10 is helically connected to the screw hole 11.

[0020] Furthermore, the lower part of the column 1 is opened into the inner cavity 12; the upper end of the adjacent lower column 1 is inserted into the inner cavity 12; a through hole 13 is opened on the surface of the inner cavity 12; the through hole 13 is arranged opposite to the opening 4; the locking block 8 passes through the through hole 13 and is inserted into the opening 4.

[0021] Working principle: First, align the upper and lower palletizing frames so that the column 1 of the lower palletizing frame can be inserted into the bottom cavity 12 of the column 1 of the upper palletizing frame. After the insertion process is completed, the through hole 13 on the surface of the cavity 12 will be aligned with the opening 4 on the lower column 1. At this time, by rotating the screw 10 located in the screw hole 11 with a screwdriver, the screw 10 will descend, thereby pushing the pressure block 9 to descend. As the pressure block 9 descends, the first sliding arm 5 and the second sliding arm 6 at both ends can change their angle within the crossbeam 3, and push the locking block 8 to move. Finally, the locking block 8 can pass through the through hole 13 and be inserted into the opening 4, realizing the position locking between the upper and lower palletizing frames.
