Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts storage technology, and more specifically, to a parts storage rack with an adjustable angle. Background Technology

[0002] In automobile manufacturing, stamping dies are used to produce sheet metal parts. During the maintenance and repair of stamping dies, it is often necessary to disassemble components such as pressure plates and wedges for inspection and repair. These components generally have two types of bottom surfaces: flat and angled. For components with flat bottoms, they can be placed directly on sleepers or rubber pads. For components with angled bottoms, there are no dedicated tooling fixtures for storage. The common practice is to use bottom blocks or support rods to maintain the upper surface level for easy removal of the pressure plate. However, most wedge components weigh between 200kg and 1000kg. When using blocks or support rods to support the bottom of components with angled bottoms, the lack of fixed support points and connection measures can easily cause wobbling during operation, posing a risk of tipping over and compromising safety. Furthermore, when removing the pressure plate from the wedge component, since the pressure plate is connected to the wedge component by vertical guide posts, it is necessary to ensure that the upper surface of the wedge is level before lifting the pressure plate. When using pads or other components to support the bottom of the wedge, it is necessary to repeatedly adjust the position and height of the support pads to make the upper surface of the wedge level. This operation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art in which the wedge component is difficult to keep stable when disassembling the pressure plate of a stamping die, this utility model provides an adjustable-angle parts storage rack to keep the wedge component stable, prevent it from shaking or tipping over, and improve operational safety.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an adjustable-angle parts storage rack, comprising: a base, at least two support members rotatably connected to the base, sliders slidably connected to the base, connecting rods rotatably connected to the sliders, and a fixing assembly for fixing the sliders. The support members are respectively arranged opposite to each other, and the sliders are respectively arranged below the support members. The support members are provided with limiting grooves, and the connecting rods are slidably connected to the support members through the limiting grooves. The limiting grooves are used to prevent the connecting rods from disengaging from the support members. When the sliders slide, the lifting height of the support members is adjusted. The fixing assembly is connected to the sliders and the base respectively.

[0005] The support components are arranged opposite each other, and the space between two or more support components is the support area. The mold wedge is placed in the support area. The support components are rotatably connected to the base, thereby allowing adjustment of the support angle to accommodate different types of mold wedges. Specifically, a slider is installed at the bottom of the support component. When the slider slides towards the rotation position of the support component, the support component is lifted by the slider and rotates upward, increasing the tilt angle of the slider and making it steeper. When the slider moves away from the rotation position of the support component, the support component rotates downward under the action of gravity, decreasing the tilt angle of the slider and making it flatter. This is how the support angle of the support component is adjusted. To prevent workers from being pinched or injured by the support components when the storage rack is moved, and to prevent the support components from tilting to the other side when set too steeply, the support components are designed to prevent the mold wedge from tilting to the other side. The tilting of the slider affects the placement of the mold wedge. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the slider, and the connecting rod is slidably connected to the support, thus restricting the rotation of the support and keeping the slider connected to the support, preventing the support from shaking or tilting at will. When the support is in operation, the slider always supports and presses against the support. However, the steeper the support, the easier it is for the slider to slip off. Therefore, a fixing component is set to fix the slider and prevent it from slipping off, ensuring the stable operation of this storage rack. Specifically, the fixing component can be a pin, with several pin holes set on the base. After the slider moves, the pin passes through the slider and inserts into the pin hole to fix the slider. Alternatively, the slider can be fitted onto the base, and bolts can be set on the side of the slider. When the bolts are tightened, they press against the base to achieve fixation.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the slider is provided with a connecting ring, the connecting ring is fitted on the base and slidably connected to the base, and the bottom of the base is connected with a plurality of pads, the height of the pads being greater than the thickness of the connecting ring.

[0007] The connecting ring increases the friction between the slider and the base, reducing the chance of the slider slipping and improving its stability. Pads are added to elevate the base, providing space for the connecting ring to move. Furthermore, pads are provided at both ends and in the middle of the base.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fastening screw that is threadedly connected to the connecting ring, and the end of the fastening screw abuts against the base.

[0009] While the fastening screw is threadedly connected to the connecting ring, it passes through the connecting ring and abuts against the base, thereby fixing the connecting ring to the base and thus fixing the slider.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fixing block connected to the base, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the fixing block, and a driving member connected to the threaded rod. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the slider, the threaded rod is axially fixed relative to the slider, and the driving member is used to drive the threaded rod to rotate.

[0011] Another method of fixing the component involves using a threaded rod for both driving and fixing. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the sliding block, and its axial freedom is restricted by the slider, maintaining axial fixation. When the threaded rod rotates relative to the fixed block, it moves relative to the base, thereby driving the slider to move. After the slider moves, the friction between the threaded rod and the fixed block is greater in the axial direction of the threaded rod, thus fixing the slider and preventing it from slipping. The threaded rod can both drive and fix the slider, resulting in better performance. The fastening screw and threaded rod components can be selected individually or installed simultaneously; simultaneous installation is preferred for higher safety.

[0012] Preferably, the drive component includes a handwheel.

[0013] The drive components include a motor and a handwheel, which are selected according to the actual situation.

[0014] Preferably, the support is made of rectangular steel tube, the limiting groove is set at the bottom of the support, and one end of the connecting rod is provided with a crossbar, which is locked in the support through the limiting groove.

[0015] The support component uses rectangular steel tubes to reduce manufacturing costs. When setting the limiting groove, a long through hole can be drilled directly, which is simple to process. The connecting rod is clamped onto the support component by a crossbar, which enables the sliding and limiting support component to be disengaged.

[0016] Preferably, the top of the support member is provided with an anti-slip buffer pad.

[0017] Anti-slip cushioning pads include rubber pads, silicone pads, plastic pads, and polyurethane pads, which can be selected or used in combination.

[0018] Preferably, the base is provided with multiple connecting plates, the support member is rotatably connected to the connecting plates respectively, and the side of the connecting plate is provided with angle scale lines.

[0019] An angle scale is set to display the lifting angle of the support component, which facilitates adjustment according to different wedge components.

[0020] Preferably, the top of the slider is provided with a slope at a set angle and an arc-shaped surface that connects with the slope.

[0021] The inclined surface is set according to the commonly used angle, corresponding to most wedge components with the same support angle. The curved surface is used as a transition to reduce the friction between the slider and the support and also to ensure the stability of the support.

[0022] Preferably, anti-tipping blocks are connected to both sides of the base.

[0023] Anti-tipping blocks are installed on both sides of the base to increase the overall width of the base and prevent it from tipping over.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] 1. The support angle of the support component can be adjusted by setting a slider, which facilitates the adjustment of the support angle and makes it suitable for different wedge components. Then, a fixing component is set to fix the slider to ensure that the slider can remain stable during support, thereby ensuring the stable support of the support component, preventing the wedge component from shaking and tipping over, and ensuring the safety of the staff.

[0026] 2. Angle scale lines are provided on the connecting plate to facilitate the adjustment of the support angle of the support component. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, an adjustable-angle parts storage rack includes: a base 1, at least two support members 2 rotatably connected to the base 1, sliders 3 slidably connected to the base 1, connecting rods 4 rotatably connected to the sliders 3, and a fixing assembly 5 for fixing the sliders 3. The support members 2 are respectively arranged opposite to each other, and the sliders 3 are respectively arranged below the support members 2. The support members 2 are provided with limiting grooves 6. The connecting rods 4 are slidably connected to the support members 2 through the limiting grooves 6. The limiting grooves 6 are used to prevent the connecting rods 4 from disengaging from the support members 2. When the sliders 3 slide, the lifting height of the support members 2 is adjusted. The fixing assembly 5 is connected to the sliders 3 and the base 1 respectively.

[0037] Support members 2 are arranged opposite each other, and the space between two or more support members 2 is the support area. The mold wedge is placed in the support area. The support member 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, so the support angle of the support member 2 can be adjusted to meet the placement of different models of mold wedges. Specifically, a slider 3 is set at the bottom of the support member 2. When the slider 3 slides toward the rotation position of the support member 2, the support member 2 is lifted by the slider 3 and rotates upward, increasing the tilt angle of the slider 3 and making the slider 3 steeper. When the slider 3 moves away from the rotation position of the support member 2, the support member 2 rotates downward under the action of gravity, decreasing the tilt angle of the slider 3 and making the slider 3 flatter. This is to adjust the support angle of the support member 2. To prevent the support member 2 from shaking and pinching or hitting workers when the storage rack is moved, and to prevent the support member 2 from tipping to the other side when it is set too steeply. The placement of the mold wedge is affected by a connecting rod 4 rotatably connected to the slider 3. The connecting rod 4 is slidably connected to the support 2, thereby restricting the rotation of the support 2 and keeping the slider 3 connected to the support 2 to prevent the support 2 from shaking or tilting at will. When the support 2 is providing support, the slider 3 always supports and pushes against the support 2. However, the steeper the support 2 is, the easier it is for the slider 3 to slip off. Therefore, a fixing component 5 is set to fix the slider 3 to prevent it from slipping off and to ensure the stable operation of this storage rack. Specifically, the fixing component 5 can be a pin with several pin holes on the base 1. After the slider 3 moves, the pin passes through the slider 3 and is inserted into the pin hole to fix the slider 3. Alternatively, the slider 3 can be fitted onto the base 1, and bolts can be set on the side of the slider 3. When the bolts are tightened, they push against the base 1 to achieve fixation.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: by setting the slider 3 to adjust the support angle of the support member 2, it is convenient to adjust the support angle and is suitable for different wedge components. Then, the fixing component 5 is set to fix the slider 3, ensuring that the slider 3 can remain stable during support, thereby ensuring that the support member 2 can be stably supported, avoiding the wedge component from shaking and tipping over, and ensuring the safety of the staff.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] This embodiment further defines the features of Embodiment 1, and its difference from Embodiment 1 lies in:

[0041] like Figure 1-3As shown, the slider 3 has a connecting ring 7 at its bottom, which is fitted onto the base 1 and slidably connected to it. Multiple pads 8 are connected to the bottom of the base 1, and the height of each pad 8 is greater than the thickness of the connecting ring 7. The fixing component 5 includes a fastening screw 9 threadedly connected to the connecting ring 7, with its end abutting against the base 1. The fixing component 5 includes a fixing block 10 connected to the base 1, a threaded rod 11 threadedly connected to the fixing block 10, and a driving component 12 connected to the threaded rod 11. The threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected to the slider 3 and is axially fixed relative to the slider 3. The driving component 12 drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate. The driving component 12 includes a handwheel.

[0042] The connecting ring 7 increases the friction between the slider 3 and the base 1, reducing the chance of the slider 3 slipping and improving its stability. The pad 8 elevates the base 1, providing space for the connecting ring 7 to move. Furthermore, pads 8 are provided at both ends and the middle of the base 1. The fastening screw 9 is threadedly connected to the connecting ring 7, passing through the connecting ring 7 and abutting against the base 1, thus fixing the connecting ring 7 to the base 1 and securing the slider 3. Another fixing method for the fixing component 5 is to use a threaded rod 11 for both driving and fixing. The threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected to the sliding block, and its axial freedom is restricted by the slider 3, maintaining axial fixation with the slider 3. When the threaded rod 11 rotates relative to the fixing block 10, it moves relative to the base 1, thereby moving the slider 3. After the slider 3 moves, the friction between the threaded rod 11 and the fixing block 10 is greater in the axial direction, thus fixing the slider 3 and preventing it from slipping. The threaded rod 11 can both drive and fix the slider 3, resulting in better performance. The fastening screw 9 and the threaded rod 11 can be installed individually or simultaneously, with simultaneous installation being preferred for higher safety. The drive component 12 includes a motor and a handwheel, which can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0043] The remaining features and working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, Example 1 or Example 2 are further defined, with the following differences:

[0046] like Figure 1-3As shown, the support member 2 is made of rectangular steel tubing. The limiting groove 6 is located at the bottom of the support member 2. One end of the connecting rod 4 is provided with a crossbar 13, which is secured within the support member 2 via the limiting groove 6. The top of the support member 2 is provided with an anti-slip buffer pad 14. The base 1 is provided with multiple connecting plates 15, and the support member 2 is rotatably connected to each of the connecting plates 15. The side of the connecting plate 15 is provided with angle scale lines. The top of the slider 3 is provided with a slope 16 at a set angle and an arc-shaped surface 17 that connects to the slope 16. Anti-tilting blocks 18 are connected to both sides of the base 1.

[0047] The support component 2 is made of rectangular steel tubing, reducing manufacturing costs. When setting the limiting groove 6, a long through hole can be directly drilled, simplifying processing. The connecting rod 4 is secured to the support component 2 via the crossbar 13, allowing it to slide and disengage from the limiting support component 2. The anti-slip buffer pad 14 includes rubber pads, silicone pads, plastic pads, and polyurethane pads 8, which can be selected or used in combination. An angle scale is provided to display the lifting angle of the support component 2, facilitating adjustment for different wedge components. The inclined surface 16 is set according to commonly used angles, corresponding to most wedge components with the same support angle. The arc surface 17 serves as a transition, reducing friction between the slider 3 and the support component 2 and ensuring support stability. Anti-tipping blocks 18 are located on both sides of the base 1 to increase the overall width of the base 1 and prevent it from tipping over.

[0048] The remaining working principles and processes of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0049] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
