Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bar stock storage technology, specifically to a material placement rack that facilitates the cleaning and processing of metal bars. Background Technology
[0002] When processing metal bars, protection is required. Generally, the metal bars are loaded onto the matching material tray 100 before processing. Due to the limitations of the size of the processing equipment cavity and the number of material trays 100 can hold, it is not possible to put too many metal bars into the processing equipment cavity at once for processing.
[0003] When cleaning metal bars, they also need to be loaded into a material tray 100 for cleaning. Due to the limited number of metal bars that can be loaded into a single material tray 100, a large number of metal bars cannot be cleaned at one time. When there are too many metal bars to be cleaned, it will consume a lot of time and effort. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a material placement rack that facilitates the cleaning and processing of metal bars, so as to meet the practical needs of processing and cleaning a large number of metal bars at the same time.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a material placement rack for convenient cleaning and processing of metal bars, including a fixed base frame and a multi-layer movable frame arranged sequentially above the fixed base frame. The fixed base frame and the movable frame are rectangular structures of the same shape and size, and each has a positioning post at one of the four corners of the top. The fixed base frame and the movable frame each have four symmetrical positioning slots in the middle, which are adapted to the material trays used to load metal bars. Each positioning slot has a drainage hole at the bottom. Each movable frame has an assembly cylinder adapted to the positioning post at each of the four corners of the bottom. Each assembly cylinder is detachably and movably fitted onto the corresponding positioning post.
[0006] Furthermore, support plates are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the fixed base frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the number of movable shelves is 6 layers.
[0008] Furthermore, hand grips are provided on one pair of opposite sides of the top of the fixed base frame and the movable frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the individual material tray for loading metal bars has a three-layer structure, with dimensions of 180*125 mm, and can hold 500 metal bars.
[0010] Furthermore, the dimensions of the positioning slot are 182*127 mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the height between the fixed base frame and the second layer of movable frame, as well as the adjacent two movable frames, is 50-60 mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixed base frame is provided with an inclined guide groove and an external drainage pipe.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. Multi-layer replaceable layer structure: The design adopts a fixed base frame + multi-layer movable frame. Through the plug-in cooperation of positioning columns and assembly cylinders, the layers can be freely replaced, which can not only meet the storage needs of metal rods in different scenarios, but also facilitate the replacement of single layers when damaged.
[0015] 2. Structural design adapted to automated sorting: Each layer is equipped with four positioning slots, which are precisely matched with the material trays of the robotic arms of sorting equipment. This design, which is adapted to the material trays of automated sorting equipment, can greatly reduce manual operation and improve sorting efficiency.
[0016] 3. High-efficiency drainage system: Drainage holes are designed under the positioning slots, forming a vertical drainage channel to quickly remove water and prevent the metal bars from rusting due to water accumulation.
[0017] 4. Space optimization design: The height of each layer is designed according to the length of the metal bar, which realizes efficient use of vertical space in the limited equipment cavity. The multi-layer structure can accommodate multiple material trays in each layer, which greatly improves the space utilization and storage capacity. Attached Figure Description

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0030] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] This utility model provides a material placement rack for convenient cleaning and processing of metal bars, used in conjunction with a material tray 100. The structure of the material tray 100 actually used by the applicant is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it has a three-layer structure with dimensions of 180*125 mm. It can hold 500 metal bars. From top to bottom, the first two layers are arrayed with 25*20 through holes, and the third layer is arrayed with 25*20 blind holes. The size of the holes is adapted to the outer diameter of the metal bars. This material tray 100 is adapted to the applicant's existing automated sorting equipment and can be precisely matched with the sorting equipment's robotic arm. The programmed sorting robotic arm inserts the metal bars into the material tray 100 in sequence, which can greatly reduce manual operation and improve sorting efficiency.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model includes a fixed base frame 1 and a multi-layer movable frame 2 sequentially movably arranged above the fixed base frame 1. The fixed base frame 1 and the movable frame 2 are rectangular structures of the same shape and size, and each has a positioning post 3 at one of its four top corners. Each movable frame 2 has an assembly cylinder 6 at one of its four bottom corners that is adapted to the positioning post 3. Each assembly cylinder 6 is detachably and movably fitted onto the corresponding positioning post 3. The assembly cylinder 6 and the positioning post 3 can be plugged and pulled together to achieve a flexible combination of the fixed base frame 1 and the multi-layer movable frame 2. The number of layers and the size of the fixed base frame 1 and the movable frame 2 can be flexibly set according to the size of the actual processing equipment cavity. In order to match the applicant's existing processing equipment, in actual application, a combination of fixed base frame 1 and 6 layers of movable frame 2 is adopted, with the number of movable frame 2 being 6 layers. Figure 1 The maximum height between the fixed base frame 1 and the second layer movable frame 2, as well as the adjacent two movable frames 2, shall not exceed 60 mm, and the overall height shall not exceed 450 mm. The dimensions of the fixed base frame 1 and the second layer movable frame 2 are 440*300 mm.
[0034] The fixed base frame 1 and the movable frame 2 are each provided with four symmetrical positioning slots 4, each adapted to the material tray 100 used for loading metal bars. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The symmetrical reference points are the centers of the fixed base 1 or the movable frame 2. This can also be understood as the four positioning slots 4 arranged in an array around the centers of the fixed base 1 or the movable frame 2. The shape and size of each positioning slot 4 must be compatible with the actual shape and size of the material tray 100. In practical applications, the positioning slot 4 is rectangular, with dimensions of 182*127 mm, so that the material tray 100 loaded with metal bars can be precisely fitted into the positioning slot 4. Figure 5 and Figure 6 .
[0035] In order to meet the needs of cleaning metal bars, this utility model provides a drainage hole 5 at the bottom of each positioning slot 4, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drainage hole 5 of this utility model is a large square hole structure, which facilitates the quick removal of water during cleaning. Two holes are set at the bottom of each positioning slot 4, forming a vertical drainage channel. This allows water droplets to be quickly removed, preventing the metal rod from rusting due to water accumulation. This drainage structure is the key to improving the practicality of the device.
[0036] To enhance stability, support plates 7 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the fixed base frame 1. Specifically, these are circular pads with a thickness of approximately 2mm. Figure 2 .
[0037] To facilitate handling by operators, hand handles 8 are provided on one pair of opposite sides of the top of both the fixed base frame 1 and the movable frame 2, such as... Figures 1 to 3 .
[0038] To facilitate the rapid drainage of cleaning water, an inclined guide channel can be installed on the fixed base frame 1, and an external drain pipe can be connected to it.
[0039] Working principle:
[0040] The metal bars that need to be processed or cleaned are sequentially inserted into the material tray 100 by the automated sorting equipment. The material tray 100, which is full of metal bars, is then respectively clamped onto the fixed base frame 1 and the movable frame 2 in a dispersed state. Figure 1 The assembly is carried out in the following manner: the fixed base frame 1 is located at the bottom layer, and then multiple movable frames 2 are assembled from bottom to top. The assembled material tray 100 with metal rods is then cleaned, placed in the cavity of the processing equipment for processing, or stored away for convenience and practicality.
[0041] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
