Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plate processing technology, and more specifically, to a finished product unloading device for stainless steel pallets used in metal products. Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel pallets are mostly made of 304, 316 and other grades of stainless steel sheets, and are widely used for the carrying and transportation of metal products. Their production involves processes such as cutting, stamping and bending, welding and assembly. Pickling is a key step to remove surface oxide scale and improve corrosion resistance, which can form a passivation film to adapt to different usage environments.

[0003] During pickling, stainless steel pallets are often immersed in the pickling tank within a small acid-resistant plastic basket. To ensure the pickling effect, in some cases, the pallet needs to be removed midway to check the pickling degree. In such cases, tools such as long-handled acid-resistant hooks and silicone anti-slip clamps are commonly used. However, traditional tools have shortcomings. For example, the contact area between the hook head and the edge of the pallet is small, making it prone to shifting when lifted vertically. Furthermore, residual acid on the pallet surface makes the contact surface smooth, easily causing the pallet to detach. Therefore, we propose a finished stainless steel pallet unloading device for metal products. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a finished product picking device for stainless steel pallets for metal products, so as to solve the technical problem that stainless steel pallets are easy to detach due to unstable contact when picking up materials with traditional tools.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a finished product picking device for stainless steel pallets for metal products, including a clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism including a vertical rod, a horizontal plate arranged at the lower outer end of the vertical rod, slots arranged at both ends of the horizontal plate, a shaft arranged inside the slots, and a clamping plate arranged on the shaft.

[0006] The clamp has a hollow structure on one side in the middle, a retaining edge on the other side in the middle, and a guide part at the lower end of the clamp.

[0007] Preferably, a gear is arranged in the middle inside the upright, a rack A is meshed on one side of the gear, the rack A is arranged at the lower end of the movable rod A, and a pressing block is arranged at the upper end of the movable rod A.

[0008] Preferably, a rack B meshes with the other side of the gear, the rack B is arranged on the upper end of the movable rod B, a spring is arranged on the lower surface of the movable rod B, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the lower end of the movable rod B, one end of the connecting rod being connected to the clamping plate.

[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the movable rod A and the upper end of the movable rod B are both semi-circular in shape, and the lower end of the movable rod A and the movable rod B are arranged opposite to each other.

[0010] Preferably, an elastic piston is arranged on the lower outer surface of the cross plate, and a pressure plate is arranged on the movable end of the elastic piston. The lower surface of the pressure plate has an outwardly flared structure.

[0011] Preferably, the guide portion includes a guide plate, which has an outwardly flared shape and a recess inside the guide plate. A roller is rotatably mounted inside the recess, and a transmission belt is arranged on the roller.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model, through the design of a locking edge structure, allows the tray to enter between the two clamping plates after being guided by the guide part and pressure is applied to the upright by the worker. The lower end of the tray is then locked by the locking edge on the inner side of the clamping plate, which helps to restrict its position and reduce the possibility of the tray coming out of the clamping state. This provides assistance for fixing the tray, enabling it to be stably clamped and removed from the clamping frame, facilitating subsequent testing.

[0014] This invention, through the design of a guide plate, rollers, and a transmission belt structure, allows the pallet to be smoothly guided between the two clamping plates when the operator presses down on the upright. The rolling of the rollers and the transmission belt helps reduce friction between the pallet and the guide plate, making it easier and smoother to guide the pallet in, thus achieving assisted alignment and entry of the pallet.

[0015] This utility model designs a rack A, gear, and rack B structure. When the pressing block is pressed down, the power is transmitted through the movable rod A, causing rack A to move down and drive the gear to rotate, which in turn drives rack B and movable rod B to move up. Movable rod B adjusts the state of the two clamping plates through the linkage rod, thereby converting manual pressing into control of the opening and closing of the clamping plates, which helps the operator to put the inspected tray back into the clamping frame.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention relates to a stainless steel pallet finished product picking device for metal products, including a clamping mechanism 1. The clamping mechanism 1 includes a vertical rod 101, a horizontal plate 102 arranged at the lower end of the outer side of the vertical rod 101, slots 103 arranged at both ends inside the horizontal plate 102, a shaft 104 arranged inside the slots 103, and a clamping plate 105 arranged on the shaft 104.

[0028] One side of the clamping plate 105 has a hollow structure, and the other side of the clamping plate 105 has a retaining edge 106. A guide portion 107 is arranged at the lower end of the clamping plate 105. This utility model, through the design of the retaining edge 106 structure, allows the tray 5 to enter between the two clamping plates 105 after being guided by the guide portion 107 and pressure applied to the upright 101 by the worker. The lower end of the tray 5 is then held in place by the retaining edge 106 on the inner side of the clamping plate 105, helping to restrict its position and reduce the possibility of the tray 5 detaching from the clamping state. This provides assistance in fixing the tray 5, allowing it to be stably clamped and removed from the clamping frame 3 for subsequent testing. By designing the clamping plate 105 structure, two clamping plates 105 are provided. The two clamping plates 105 can guide the tray 5 into their interior through the guide portion 107. Once inside, it will be clamped and fixed. When the staff lifts the tray 5 from the clamping frame 3, the tray 5 is not easy to fall out from the two clamping plates 105, which has the effect of preventing detachment. The design of the hollow structure on the side reduces the overall weight of the clamping plate 105, which reduces the fatigue of the staff when lifting it. The hollow structure design also makes it easy for the staff to see the pickling status of the side of the tray 5 clamped by the clamping plate 105. Through the design of the slot 103 and the shaft 104 structure, the two clamping plates 105 can be rotatably installed under the horizontal plate 102. In this way, the two clamping plates 105 can rotate and open and close based on this.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, a gear 108 is arranged in the middle of the upright rod 101, and a rack A109 meshes with one side of the gear 108. The rack A109 is arranged at the lower end of the movable rod A1010, and a pressing block 1011 is arranged at the upper end of the movable rod A1010. By designing the structure of rack A109, gear 108, and rack B1012, when the pressing block 1011 is pressed, the power is transmitted through the movable rod A1010, causing rack A109 to move down and drive gear 108 to rotate, thereby driving rack B1012 and movable rod B1013 to move up. Movable rod B1013 adjusts the state of the two clamping plates 105 through linkage rod 1015, thereby converting manual pressing into control of the opening and closing of clamping plates 105, which helps the operator to put the inspected tray 5 back into the clamping frame 3.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, a rack B1012 meshes with the other side of the gear 108. The rack B1012 is arranged on the upper end of the movable rod B1013. A spring 1014 is arranged on the lower surface of the movable rod B1013. A connecting rod 1015 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the movable rod B1013. One end of the connecting rod 1015 is connected to the clamping plate 105. The installation of the spring 1014 in this invention allows the operator to apply an elastic restoring force to the movable rod B1013 when pressing the pressing block 1011 to indirectly control the movement of the movable rod A1010 and the movable rod B1013. In this way, the two clamping plates 105 can always remain closed, and the support plate 5 placed between the two clamping plates 105 is prevented from disengaging. The installation of the connecting rod 1015 allows the rising and falling movements of the movable rod B1013 to indirectly control the movements of the two clamping plates 105, achieving a linkage effect.

[0031] In the embodiments of this utility model, the lower end of the movable rod A1010 and the upper end of the movable rod B1013 both adopt a semi-circular structure, and the lower ends of the movable rod A1010 and the movable rod B1013 are arranged opposite to each other. The semi-circular structure design of this utility model allows the racks A109 and B1012 to be installed on their sides, and the staggered arrangement does not affect the lowering action of the movable rod A1010 and the raising action of the movable rod B1013.

[0032] In an embodiment of this invention, an elastic piston 1016 is arranged on the lower outer surface of the horizontal plate 102, and a pressure plate 1017 is arranged at the movable end of the elastic piston 1016. The lower surface of the pressure plate 1017 has an outwardly flared structure. By designing the structure of the elastic piston 1016 and the pressure plate 1017, this invention allows the upper end of the tray 5, which enters between the two clamping plates 105, to be pressed and fixed. The elastic pressing can be adapted to fix trays 5 of different sizes. In addition, the clamping edge 106 can clamp the upper and lower ends of the tray 5, achieving the effect of preventing detachment.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, the guide part 107 includes a guide plate 1071, which has an outwardly flared shape. A recess 1072 is provided inside the guide plate 1071, and a roller 1073 is rotatably mounted inside the recess 1072. A transmission belt 1074 is arranged on the roller 1073. The transmission belt 1074 of this utility model is supported by polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has high corrosion resistance and high tensile strength, suitable for frequent entry and exit from pickling tanks. Through the design of the guide plate 1071, roller 1073, and transmission belt 1074, when the operator presses down the upright 101, the pallet 5 is guided by the flared structure of the guide plate 1071 and can smoothly enter between the two clamping plates 105. The rolling of the roller 1073 and the transmission belt 1074 helps reduce the friction between the pallet 5 and the guide plate 1071, making it easier and smoother to guide the pallet 5 in, thus achieving auxiliary alignment and entry operation of the pallet 5.

[0034] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a finished stainless steel pallet unloading device for metal products. During use, the operator holds the upright 101 and inserts the clamping plates 105 into the basket 2 inside the pickling tank. After insertion, the operator aligns the guide parts 107 at one end of the two clamping plates 105 with the upper end of the pallet 5, positioned between the two clamping frames 3 and the two bases 4. This prevents the clamping plates 105 from contacting the clamping frames 3 and bases 4 when moving downwards, thus avoiding obstruction of the clamping plates 105 from clamping the pallet 5 from the clamping frames 3. After alignment, the operation begins. When the operator presses down, the outwardly flared structure of the guide section 107 guides the tray 5 into the space between the two clamping plates 105. Continued pressing causes the tray 5 to fully penetrate the two clamping plates 105. Upon penetration, the upper end of the tray 5 abuts against the pressure plate 1017. The pressure plate 1017, elastically pushed by the elastic piston 1016, presses and secures the tray 5 within the clamping plates 105. The lower end of the tray 5 is held in place by the retaining edge 106, which, in conjunction with the downwardly pressed pressure plate 1017, opposes the two clamping plates 105. The pallet 5 is fixed and limited to prevent detachment. After the pallet 5 is clamped by the clamping plate 105, the worker can lift the upright 101 to remove it from the basket 2. During removal, the worker can observe the pickling status of the pallet 5. After observation, the worker lowers and moves the upright 101, so that the pallet 5 clamped and fixed by the clamping plate 105 will descend into the basket 2. After the pallet 5 is sent into the clamping frame 3, the worker presses the pressing block 1011 with his finger. After the pressing block 1011 is pressed, it will bring the movable rod A1010 down synchronously. After the movable rod B1013 descends inside the upright 101, It will move together with the rack A109 arranged on the lower side. After the rack A109 moves, it will mesh with the gear 108 on the surface. After the gear 108 rotates, it will mesh with the rack B1012 on the surface. After the rack B1012 is meshed, it will lift the movable rod B1013 inside the upright 101. After the movable rod B1013 is lifted, it will move together with the connecting rod 1015 connected at the lower end. After the connecting rod 1015 is pulled, it will open the two clamping plates 105 outward. In this way, the tray 5 that is clamped and fixed by the two clamping plates 105 will be released, completing the placement operation of the tray 5.

[0035] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
