Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of material rack technology, and more particularly to a steel pipe material rack. Background Technology
[0002] During the processing of steel pipes, multiple steel pipes need to be neatly stored on a rack to facilitate loading and unloading. The rack has multiple brackets at different heights to improve the space utilization of steel pipe storage. However, due to the arrangement of multiple brackets, the upper brackets can obstruct the lower brackets in the vertical space, resulting in limited space. When steel pipes need to be unloaded, the operation is extremely inconvenient due to the limited operating space. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a steel pipe rack, including a support frame, on which multiple bracket groups of different heights are provided. Each bracket group includes multiple brackets for placing steel pipes. Each bracket includes a crossbeam connected to the support frame. The lengths of both ends of the crossbeam are adjustable, and both ends of the crossbeam are connected to upwardly inclined limiting rods. The support frame is located between the two limiting rods.
[0005] Optionally, the crossbeam includes a hollow beam connected to the support frame, and two movable beams are slidably arranged inside the hollow beam. The two movable beams extend out of the hollow beam at opposite ends and are connected to a limiting rod.
[0006] Optionally, a tie rod connects adjacent limiting rods at the same height level.
[0007] Optionally, a double-rod hydraulic cylinder is installed inside the hollow beam, located between the two movable beams, with the two telescopic ends of the double-rod hydraulic cylinder connected to the movable beams respectively.
[0008] Optionally, each bracket group is equipped with only one double-rod hydraulic cylinder, and the double-rod hydraulic cylinder is located in the hollow beam at the center or near the center. Adjacent movable beams at the same height are connected by a synchronizing rod, which is close to the connection position between the movable beam and the limiting rod.
[0009] Optionally, the inner wall of the hollow beam is provided with a guide rail, and the movable beam is slidably connected to the guide rail.
[0010] Optionally, the lengths of the multiple hollow beams increase sequentially from top to bottom.
[0011] Optionally, the top of the support frame is provided with multiple support rod groups along the length of the steel pipe, and each support rod group includes two support rods arranged in an inverted V-shape.
[0012] Optionally, hooks are provided at the ends of the limiting rods in the bottom bracket group, and the hooks are used to hang rain shelters with hanging rings.
[0013] Optionally, the support frame includes multiple sets of support beams arranged in a V-shape, with a first connecting beam connecting the top of each set of support beams and a second connecting beam connecting the bottom of adjacent sets of support beams.
[0014] The beneficial effects that this application can achieve are as follows:
[0015] This application includes a support frame with multiple bracket groups of different heights. Each bracket group includes multiple brackets for placing steel pipes. Each bracket includes a crossbeam connected to the support frame. The lengths of both ends of the crossbeam are adjustable, and both ends of the crossbeam are connected to upwardly inclined limiting rods. The support frame is located between the two limiting rods. Based on the structure of this application, since the lengths of both ends of the crossbeam are adjustable, when it is necessary to unload the steel pipes on the brackets, the ends of the crossbeam are extended, allowing the lower crossbeam to extend beyond the vertical obstruction area of the upper crossbeam. This increases the unloading operation space for the steel pipes and improves the convenience of the unloading operation. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example
[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a steel pipe rack, including a support frame 100. The support frame 100 is provided with multiple bracket groups of different heights. Each bracket group includes multiple brackets 200 for placing steel pipes 500. The bracket 200 includes a crossbeam 210 connected to the support frame 100. The lengths of both ends of the crossbeam 210 are adjustable, and both ends of the crossbeam 210 are connected to upwardly inclined limiting rods 220. The support frame 100 is located between the two limiting rods 220.
[0031] In this embodiment, the side wall of the support frame 100, the crossbeam 210, and the limiting rod 220 can form a U-shaped space for storing the steel pipe 500. Since the lengths of both ends of the crossbeam 210 are adjustable, when the steel pipe 500 on the bracket 200 needs to be unloaded, the two ends of the crossbeam 210 are extended, so that the lower crossbeam 210 can extend out of the vertical blocking area of the upper crossbeam 210, increasing the unloading operation space of the steel pipe 500 and improving the convenience of unloading operation. Similarly, when the steel pipe 500 needs to be loaded onto the bracket 200, the lower crossbeam 210 is extended to its longest length. After the steel pipe 500 is placed on the crossbeam 210, the crossbeam 210 is shortened and the limiting rod 220 is pressed against the steel pipe 500. The limiting rod 220 plays a role in preventing the steel pipe 500 from falling off.
[0032] It should be noted that the crossbeam 210 can be extended to a certain length for each bracket group depending on the number of steel pipes 500 placed, in order to accommodate different numbers of steel pipes 500. Therefore, the telescopic crossbeam 210 also plays a role in improving the applicability. However, when placing different numbers of steel pipes 500 in bracket groups at different heights, the principle of leaving enough operating space for the lower bracket group relative to the area covered by the upper bracket group should be followed.
[0033] As an optional implementation, the crossbeam 210 includes a hollow beam 211 connected to the support frame 100. Two movable beams 212 are slidably disposed inside the hollow beam 211. The two movable beams 212 extend out of the hollow beam 211 at opposite ends and are connected to a limiting rod 220.
[0034] In this embodiment, by setting two slidable movable beams 212 inside the hollow beam 211, when loading and unloading are required, a section of the movable beam 212 can slide out from one side of the hollow beam 211 to extend the overall length of the crossbeam 210, thereby increasing the width of the U-shaped space formed by the limiting rod 220, the side wall of the support frame 100, and the crossbeam 210, so that the steel pipe 500 can be rolled to the side close to the limiting rod 220, thus facilitating unloading.
[0035] It should be noted that when it is necessary to roll the steel pipe 500 to the side near the limit rod 220, the steel pipe 500 can be manually pried and rolled using tools such as pry bars (suitable for small and medium diameter steel pipes 500). Alternatively, two symmetrically arranged hydraulic telescopic cylinders (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the top of a section of the hollow beam 211 located in the area of the support frame 100. The ends of the hydraulic telescopic cylinders that are far apart from each other are connected to push plates, so that the push plates can be driven by the hydraulic telescopic cylinders to push the steel pipe 500 on the corresponding side outward. Alternatively, the two hydraulic telescopic cylinders can be replaced with a double-rod hydraulic cylinder, with push plates connected to the telescopic ends on both sides, so that the steel pipes 500 on both sides can be pushed outward at the same time to achieve automatic ejection of the steel pipe 500 (suitable for large diameter steel pipes 500).
[0036] As an optional implementation, a tie rod 213 is connected between adjacent limiting rods 220 at the same height level.
[0037] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to slide a section of the movable beam 212 out of the hollow beam 211, the pull rod 213 can be pulled manually, thereby pulling the same-side limiting rod 220 of the same height layer, and finally the movable beam 212 on the same side can be pulled out synchronously. By using the manual pulling method, the movable beams 212 on both sides of the same height layer can be pulled out separately, and the cost is low.
[0038] It should be noted that mutually cooperating limiting steps can be set at the ends of the movable beam 212 and the hollow beam 211 to prevent the movable beam 212 from being pulled out of the hollow beam 211.
[0039] As another optional implementation, a double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 is provided inside the hollow beam 211, located between two movable beams 212, with the two telescopic ends of the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 respectively connected to the movable beams 212.
[0040] In this embodiment, the movable beams 212 on both sides can be extended and retracted simultaneously by the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214, thereby automatically controlling the movable beams 212 to extend or retract the hollow beam 211. This is more convenient and efficient than manual operation.
[0041] It should be noted that the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 is a hydraulic cylinder with piston rods on both sides of the piston. It is generally bidirectional hydraulically driven and can achieve constant-speed reciprocating motion. Its structure can be basically divided into five parts: cylinder barrel and cylinder head, piston and piston rod, sealing device, buffer device, and venting device. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The stroke of the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 is controllable, so a limit stroke of the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 can be set here, so that the movable beam 212 will not completely slide out of the hollow beam 211.
[0042] As an optional implementation, each bracket group is equipped with only one double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214, and the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 is located in the hollow beam 211 at the center or near the center. Adjacent movable beams 212 at the same height are connected by a synchronizing rod 215, which is close to the connection position between the movable beam 212 and the limiting rod 220 (therefore, a small section of the movable beam 212 is always located outside the hollow beam 211).
[0043] In this embodiment, by setting the synchronizing rod 215, each bracket group can be equipped with only one double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214. When the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 is driven, it drives the corresponding movable beams 212 on both sides to slide, thereby driving the corresponding limiting rods 220 to move. Under the action of the synchronizing rod 215, all the limiting rods 220 at the same height can be driven to move, that is, all the movable beams 212 on the same layer can be driven to slide. This realizes that only one double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 is needed to drive all the movable beams 212 on the same layer to slide, without the need to set a double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 in each hollow beam 211, thus reducing equipment costs.
[0044] It should be noted that the number of bracket groups on the same floor is preferably odd. Therefore, the double-rod hydraulic cylinder 214 is placed in the hollow beam 211 in the center position, making the transmission structure more stable and reliable.
[0045] As an optional implementation, the inner wall of the hollow beam 211 is provided with a guide rail 216, and the movable beam 212 is slidably connected to the guide rail 216. The movable beam 212 can slide stably within the hollow beam 211 through the guide rail 216, resulting in low wear and improved service life.
[0046] Considering that it is more difficult to load and unload steel pipes 500 at higher storage positions, as an optional implementation method, the lengths of multiple hollow beams 211 increase sequentially from top to bottom, while the length of the movable beam 212 is uniform. Therefore, the U-shaped space enclosed by the side wall of the support frame 100, the crossbeam 210, and the limiting rod 220 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the number of steel pipes 500 that can be stored also gradually increases. That is, the higher the position of the U-shaped space, the fewer steel pipes 500 can be stored, which makes it easier to concentrate the steel pipes 500 in the lower position, making reasonable use of space. At the same time, based on this arrangement structure, the upper layer of steel pipes 500 can never completely block the lower layer of steel pipes 500, further improving the convenience of loading and unloading.
[0047] As an optional implementation, the top of the support frame 100 is provided with multiple support rod groups along the length direction of the steel pipe 500. Each support rod group includes two support rods 300 arranged in an inverted V-shape, thereby forming a U-shaped space on the top of the support frame 100 that can store a certain number of steel pipes 500, which further improves the space utilization rate and increases the storage capacity of the material rack for steel pipes 500.
[0048] As an optional implementation, each of the limiting rods 220 in the bottom bracket group is provided with a hook 221 at its end. The hook 221 is used to hang the rain shelter 400 with the hanging ring 410.
[0049] In this embodiment, when the material rack is placed outdoors, if it rains, a rain shelter 400 can be laid on the material rack and attached by the hanging ring 410 and hook 221 to prevent the rain shelter 400 from being blown away, thereby providing temporary rain protection for the steel pipe 500 and reducing the risk of it getting wet and rusting.
[0050] As an optional implementation, the support frame 100 includes multiple sets of support beams 110 arranged in a figure-eight shape. The top of each set of support beams 110 is connected by a first connecting beam 120. The first connecting beam 120 and the support rod set can form a top U-shaped space. The bottom of adjacent sets of support beams 110 are connected by a second connecting beam 130. The overall support structure is stable and reliable.
[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
