Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gravity material rack technology, and in particular relates to a gravity material rack structure with process state partitioning. Background Technology

[0002] A gravity feeder is a device that uses gravity to automatically slide materials down. Through a specific tilt angle and design, materials slide automatically along a track to a designated position under the influence of gravity, thus achieving fast and accurate material handling.

[0003] However, existing gravity racks can only transport items to a single area. Items are usually placed in material boxes. After being transported to the destination, empty material boxes can be returned in the same way. However, in the processing of some items, if the material boxes need to be transferred between three processes, at least two gravity racks are required. If two gravity racks are used, it is not possible to transport the empty material boxes back at once.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a gravity rack structure with process state partitioning to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problem that existing gravity material racks can only transport items to a single area, and that when material boxes need to be transferred between three processes, at least two gravity material racks are required, making it impossible to transport empty material boxes back in one go, this utility model provides a gravity material rack structure with process state partitioning.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a gravity material rack structure with process state partitioning includes: a base plate, on the top of which a first support plate and a second support plate are fixedly installed; a second material rack and a fourth material rack are respectively fixedly installed on the first support plate and the second support plate; a first baffle for blocking material boxes is fixedly installed on one side of the fourth material rack; a U-shaped frame welded to the top of the base plate, on the top of which an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed; a third material rack is fixedly installed on the output rod of the electric telescopic rod; the third material rack is located on the side where the second material rack and the fourth material rack are close to each other; and a return mechanism for conveying material boxes is assembled between the first support plate and the second support plate.

[0007] Preferably, the return mechanism includes: a first material rack fixedly installed on the first support plate and the second support plate, and a second baffle for blocking the material box is fixedly installed on one side of the first material rack.

[0008] Preferably, the first, second, third, and fourth material racks are all inclined, and rollers are rotatably mounted on the first, second, third, and fourth material racks.

[0009] Preferably, a caster wheel is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate, and the caster wheel is used to move the base plate.

[0010] Preferably, the gravity material rack structure with process state partitions further includes an anti-displacement mechanism installed on the base plate for fixing the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-displacement mechanism includes: a dual-axis motor fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, a rotating shaft fixedly installed on the output shaft of the dual-axis motor, and a first bevel gear fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft; a sleeve rotatably installed on the base plate, a screw threaded onto the sleeve, a fixing plate fixedly installed at the bottom end of the screw, and an anti-slip protrusion fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate; and a second bevel gear fixedly sleeved on the sleeve, the second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly installed on the top of the U-shaped frame, the top end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fourth material rack, a limiting block is slidably installed on the limiting rod, and the top end of the limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third material rack.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the gravity material rack structure with process state partitioning provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this solution, by placing a material box containing items to be processed on the second rack, the material box can slide down to the third rack under gravity, allowing it to reach the first processing area. After the personnel in this area complete the processing of the items in the material box, they can activate the electric telescopic rod to raise the third rack to a suitable height, allowing the material box to slide down to the fourth rack under gravity. The material box then slides in the fourth rack until it contacts the first baffle, preventing it from sliding further out of range. At this point, the material is in a relevant position in another process. After the personnel in that position remove the items from the material box, the empty material box is placed in the return mechanism. Under the action of the return mechanism, the empty material box can be transported from its current position back to the starting position in one go without stopping. This realizes the function of material box circulation and return between multiple processes, making the transportation more convenient and labor-saving. It solves the technical problem that existing gravity racks can only transport items to a single area, and when the material box needs to be transferred between three processes, at least two gravity racks are required, making it impossible to transport the empty material box back in one go.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and the foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification or the foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0021] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a gravity material rack structure with process state partitioning, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the gravity material rack structure with process state partitioning includes: a base plate 1, on the top of which a first support plate 2 and a second support plate 3 are fixedly installed; a second material rack 6 and a fourth material rack 12 are fixedly installed on the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3, respectively; a first baffle 14 for blocking material boxes is fixedly installed on one side of the fourth material rack 12; a U-shaped frame 8 welded to the top of the base plate 1, on the top of which an electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly installed; a third material rack 10 is fixedly installed on the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 9; the third material rack 10 is located on the side where the second material rack 6 and the fourth material rack 12 are close to each other; and a return mechanism for conveying material boxes is assembled between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3.

[0023] In this system, during operation, a material box containing items to be processed is placed on the second rack 6. Due to gravity, the material box slides towards the third rack 10 until it reaches it. Upon reaching the third rack 10, the top corner of the material box is blocked by the fourth rack 12. At this point, the material box is positioned in the corresponding area of ​​the first processing zone, where personnel can process the items inside. After processing is complete in the processing zone, personnel activate the electric telescopic rod 9. The output rod of the electric telescopic rod 9 extends upward, raising the third rack 10. Once the material box is raised to a suitable height, it will slide down into the fourth material rack 12 under the influence of gravity. The material box will then slide within the fourth material rack 12 until it contacts the first baffle 14, preventing it from sliding further out of range. At this point, the material box is in a relevant position in another process. After the personnel in that position remove the items from the material box, they place the empty material box into the return mechanism. The return mechanism can transport the empty material box from its current position back to the starting position in one go without stopping, thus realizing the function of transferring and returning the material box between multiple processes. The transportation is more convenient and labor-saving.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the return mechanism includes: a first material rack 4 fixedly installed on the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3, and a second baffle 7 for blocking the material box is fixedly installed on one side of the first material rack 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the return mechanism is used to transport material boxes. When an empty material box needs to be returned, the empty material box is placed on the first material rack 4. Relying on gravity, the material box will slide to a lower position. When the material box contacts the second baffle 7, the material box stops sliding, thus facilitating the return of the empty material box to the starting position area and completing the return operation of the empty material box. This realizes the convenient flow and return of material boxes between different process state zones of the gravity material rack, improving the efficiency of material flow.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first material rack 4, the second material rack 6, the third material rack 10 and the fourth material rack 12 are all inclined, and rollers are rotatably mounted on the first material rack 4, the second material rack 6, the third material rack 10 and the fourth material rack 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting the first material rack 4, the second material rack 6, the third material rack 10 and the fourth material rack 12 to be inclined, the principle of gravity can be effectively utilized. After the material box is placed on it, the material box will move under its own gravity without the need for additional power, thus reducing energy consumption and equipment costs.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a caster wheel is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 1, and the caster wheel is used to move the base plate 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the use of casters makes it easy for personnel to move the device.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gravity material rack structure with process state partitioning further includes an anti-displacement mechanism installed on the base plate 1 for fixing the base plate 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the anti-displacement mechanism can stably fix the base plate 1 to the ground, so that the device can remain stable during use.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the anti-displacement mechanism includes: a dual-axis motor 15 fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, a rotating shaft 16 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the dual-axis motor 15, and a first bevel gear 20 fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 16; a sleeve 17 rotatably installed on the base plate 1, a screw 18 threadedly installed on the sleeve 17, a fixing plate 19 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the screw 18, and an anti-slip protrusion fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 19; and a second bevel gear 13 fixedly sleeved on the sleeve 17, the second bevel gear 13 meshing with the first bevel gear 20.

[0033] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to stably fix the base plate 1 on the ground, the dual-axis motor 15 is started to drive the rotating shaft 16 to rotate. The rotating shaft 16 will drive the first bevel gear 20 to rotate. The first bevel gear 20 will drive the sleeve 17 to rotate on the base plate 1 through the second bevel gear 13. At this time, the screw 18 threadedly connected to the sleeve 17 will drive the fixing plate 19 to move vertically until the anti-slip protrusion at the bottom of the fixing plate 19 contacts the ground, thereby playing an anti-slip role and making the device stable during use.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting rod 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the U-shaped frame 8, the top end of the limiting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fourth material rack 12, a limiting block 11 is slidably installed on the limiting rod 5, and the top end of the limiting block 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third material rack 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, the stability of the third material rack 10 during vertical lifting can be further enhanced by the combined use of the limiting rod 5 and the limiting block 11.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a support block is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, and the support block is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 16.

[0037] In this embodiment, the use of the support block can provide better support for the rotating shaft 16 and improve the meshing strength between the first bevel gear 20 and the second bevel gear 13.

[0038] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution allows the material box containing the items to be processed to slide down to the third material box 10 under gravity by placing it on the second material rack 6. This enables the material box to reach the first processing area. After the personnel in this processing area have completed the processing of the items in the material box, the electric telescopic rod 9 can be activated to raise the third material rack 10 to a suitable height, allowing the material box to slide down to the fourth material rack 12 under gravity. The material box then slides within the fourth material rack 12 until it contacts the first baffle 14, preventing it from sliding further out of its designated area. At this time, the material is in a related position in another process. After the personnel in that position remove the items from the material box, they put the empty material box into the return mechanism. Under the action of the return mechanism, the empty material box can be transported from the current position back to the starting position in one go without stopping. This realizes the function of material box circulation and return between multiple processes. The transportation is more convenient and labor-saving. It solves the technical problem that the existing gravity material rack can only transport items to a single area. Therefore, when the material box needs to be transferred between three processes, at least two gravity material racks are required, which makes it impossible to transport the empty material box back in one go.
