[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sheet metal handling technology, and in particular relates to a foldable sheet metal material handling rack. Background Technology
[0002] Sheet metal processing is a comprehensive cold working process for thin metal sheets, including shearing, punching, cutting, compounding, bending, riveting, splicing, and forming. Products processed by the sheet metal industry are called sheet metal parts. Material handling racks are needed for transporting sheet metal parts during production.
[0003] Existing sheet metal material handling racks cannot be folded during use, occupy a large area during storage, and the gaps between multiple placement plates cannot be adjusted according to the size of the sheet metal parts, which seriously reduces the applicability of sheet metal material handling racks.
[0004] To address these issues, we propose a foldable sheet metal material handling rack. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that multiple placement boards cannot be folded and their heights adjusted, and to propose a foldable sheet metal material handling rack.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A support plate is rotatably connected inside each auxiliary block. Two sets of positioning holes are opened inside each auxiliary block. Two sets of limiting holes are opened inside each support plate. Two sets of positioning rods are slidably connected inside each auxiliary block. The ends of each set of positioning rods that are close to each other extend into the interior of the support plate. An auxiliary ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each set of positioning rods. Three sets of connecting blocks are slidably connected inside the two auxiliary blocks and the support plate. A placement plate is fixedly connected to the side of each set of connecting blocks that are close to each other. Two limiting rods are slidably connected inside each set of connecting blocks. The ends of each set of limiting rods that are far from each other extend into the interior of one set of limiting holes.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom surface of the base is fixedly connected to two sets of fixing blocks, and each set of fixing blocks is rotatably connected to a movable wheel.
[0009] Preferably, an auxiliary handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, and an anti-slip sleeve is fitted on the outer surface of the auxiliary handle.
[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the auxiliary handle is fixedly connected to two reinforcing rings, and the bottom end of each reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base.
[0011] Preferably, an auxiliary spring is sleeved on the outer surface of each group of positioning rods, and the ends of each group of auxiliary springs that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the ends of the auxiliary rings that are far apart from each other, and the ends of each group of auxiliary springs that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the auxiliary block.

[0015] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] By incorporating a base, auxiliary block, support plate, positioning hole, limit hole, positioning rod, auxiliary ring, connecting block, placement plate, and limit rod, the system allows the connecting block to be moved out of the limit hole by pulling the limit rod, thus preventing external interference. Moving the connecting block then moves the placement plate simultaneously, changing the gap between multiple placement plates to accommodate sheet metal parts of different sizes. Alternatively, multiple connecting blocks can be moved into the auxiliary block, allowing the limit rod to insert into the positioning hole. Pulling the positioning rod then moves it out of the support plate, at which point the support plate can be rotated 90 degrees for folding. This solves the problem of the inability to fold the support plate during use and the large footprint during storage. Furthermore, the gap between multiple placement plates can be adjusted according to the size of the sheet metal parts, improving the applicability of the sheet metal material handling rack.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a foldable sheet metal material handling rack, which includes a base 1. Two auxiliary blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, and two sets of fixing blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base 1. Each set of fixing blocks 11 is rotatably connected to a moving wheel 12. By utilizing the cooperation of the fixing blocks 11 and the moving wheels 12, the device can be easily moved, and its direction can be quickly changed during the movement, increasing the convenience of the device.
[0024] Each auxiliary block 2 is rotatably connected to a support plate 3. Each auxiliary block 2 has two sets of positioning holes 4 inside. Each support plate 3 has two sets of limiting holes 5 inside. An auxiliary handle 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. An anti-slip sleeve 14 is fitted on the outer surface of the auxiliary handle 13. The cooperation between the auxiliary handle 13 and the anti-slip sleeve 14 can provide a good force point for the base 1, increasing the ease of pushing the base 1. The anti-slip sleeve 14 can increase the firmness when gripping the auxiliary handle 13.
[0025] Two reinforcing rings 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the auxiliary handle 13. The bottom end of each reinforcing ring 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The reinforcing rings 15 can increase the fixed connection area between the auxiliary handle 13 and the base 1, thereby making the connection between the two more secure, preventing the possibility of breakage at the connection after long-term use, and increasing the robustness of the device.
[0026] Two sets of positioning rods 6 are slidably connected inside each auxiliary block 2. The ends of each set of positioning rods 6 that are close to each other extend into the interior of the support plate 3. An auxiliary spring 16 is sleeved on the outer surface of each set of positioning rods 6. The ends of each set of auxiliary springs 16 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the ends of the auxiliary ring 7 that are far from each other. The ends of each set of auxiliary springs 16 that are far from each other are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the auxiliary block 2. The auxiliary springs 16 can continuously apply pressure to the positioning rods 6 using their own extension and contraction capabilities, so that the positioning rods 6 have the ability to automatically reset, increasing the convenience when limiting the position, and also improving the firmness of the positioning rods 6 when limiting the position.
[0027] Each set of positioning rods 6 has an auxiliary ring 7 fixedly connected to its outer surface. The two auxiliary blocks 2 and the support plate 3 are slidably connected to three sets of connecting blocks 8. Each set of connecting blocks 8 has a placement plate 9 fixedly connected to its side that is close to each other. Each set of positioning rods 6 has a retaining ring 17 fixedly connected to its side that is far from each other. Each set of retaining rings 17 has a pull handle 18 fixedly connected to its side that is far from each other. By using the cooperation of the retaining ring 17 and the pull handle 18, a good force point can be provided for the positioning rod 6, which increases the ease of pulling the positioning rod 6 when needed and improves the convenience of using the device.
[0028] Two limiting rods 10 are slidably connected inside each set of connecting blocks 8. A push handle 19 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each set of limiting rods 10. Each set of push handles 19 is slidably connected inside the connecting block 8. By setting the push handle 19, a good force point can be provided for the limiting rod 10, increasing the ease of pulling the limiting rod 10 when needed, and improving the convenience of the device in use.
[0029] Each set of limiting rods 10 extends into one set of limiting holes 5 at the far ends. Each set of limiting rods 10 is fixedly connected to a return spring 20 at the near ends. Each set of return springs 20 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the support plate 3 at the near ends. The return springs 20 can continuously apply pressure to the limiting rods 10 using their own extension and contraction capabilities, so that the limiting rods 10 have the ability to automatically reset, increasing the convenience when limiting, and also improving the firmness of the limiting rods 10 when limiting.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, first push the auxiliary handle 13, and with the cooperation of the fixed block 11 and the moving wheel 12, move the base 1 to a suitable position. Then place the sheet metal parts to be moved on top of the placement plate 9. When it is necessary to adjust the gap between the placement plates 9, apply force to the push handle 19, which in turn causes the push handle 19 to move the limiting rod 10, allowing the limiting rod 10 to move out of the limiting hole 5. Then move the height position of the connecting block 8, which in turn moves the placement plate 9 simultaneously. After moving to the suitable position, release the push handle 19, and with the rebound force of the return spring 20, push the limiting rod 10 back into one of the limiting holes 5. The gaps between the placement plates 9 can be easily adjusted, effectively increasing the convenience of using the material handling rack. When it needs to be folded and stored after use, push the push handle 19, which will cause the limit rod 10 to move out of the limit hole 5 again, move the connecting block 8 into the auxiliary block 2, and rely on the return spring 20 to make the limit rod 10 insert into the positioning hole 4. Then pull the pull handle 18, which will cause the positioning rod 6 to move out of the support plate 3, so that the support plate 3 is not disturbed by external objects. Then rotate the support plate 3 to rotate it 90 degrees, thereby folding the two support plates 3, effectively reducing the floor space occupied during storage and improving the use effect of the sheet metal material handling rack.
