Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data storage equipment technology, specifically a magnetic tape storage cabinet for meteorological data. Background Technology

[0002] In the meteorological field, magnetic tape, due to its large storage capacity, low cost, and high reliability, has become an important medium for long-term preservation of meteorological observation data and historical climate information. With the increasing frequency of meteorological data acquisition and the extension of storage periods, the requirements for the security and stability of the magnetic tape storage environment are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] During actual tape storage and retrieval, the tape surface easily attracts dust, debris, and other particulate contaminants from the air. These impurities can not only cause poor contact between the tape and the read / write head, resulting in data reading errors or loss, but also scratch the tape surface coating, shortening the tape's lifespan. Currently, although some storage cabinets are equipped with dust removal devices, they mostly use independent dust extraction fans or brush roller structures, requiring additional components such as drive motors and control systems. This results in complex cabinet structures, high energy consumption, and increased maintenance costs. Furthermore, it not only occupies valuable storage space within the cabinet but may also interfere with automated storage and retrieval robotic arms, affecting the smoothness of tape storage and retrieval. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a meteorological data magnetic tape storage cabinet to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that conventional magnetic tape storage cabinets have a relatively complex dust removal structure, which leads to increased costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a meteorological data magnetic tape storage cabinet, comprising a cabinet body with an opening on one side, wherein a plurality of positioning plates are arranged horizontally in the cabinet body, and a plurality of equally spaced hollow portions are integrally formed on the positioning plates, wherein a receiving cavity for accommodating magnetic tapes is formed between two adjacent hollow portions, and a mounting strip is installed on the plurality of positioning plates, wherein a plurality of double-headed brush strips are fixedly installed on the mounting strip to remove dust from the surface of the magnetic tape when the magnetic tape is inserted into the support portion.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting strip has a pair of upright ears integrally formed at a position corresponding to the hollow part, and the hollow part has insertion holes on both sides, and the opposite surfaces of the pair of upright ears are respectively provided with protrusions that are adapted to the insertion holes.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting strip has mounting ears at both ends, and the mounting ears are fixedly connected to the cabinet body by screws.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning plate has a U-shaped hole between adjacent hollow portions.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of support plates are fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting strip, and the double-headed brush strip is fixedly installed in the support plates.

[0010] Preferably, the corners of the mounting strip are rounded for a smooth transition.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention utilizes a double-headed brush strip installed below the magnetic tape receiving cavity to effectively remove dust from the surface of the magnetic tape during insertion or removal, keeping the tape clean. No additional driving device is required; cleaning is achieved solely through the movement of the magnetic tape. The structure is simple and easy to operate, ensuring the integrity and reliability of stored data such as meteorological information while controlling energy consumption and maintenance costs.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a meteorological data magnetic tape storage cabinet, including a cabinet body 1 with an opening on one side. The cabinet body 1 is a conventional cabinet-type box structure in the prior art, without any improvement to the basic shape and general function of the cabinet body. Several positioning plates 5 are arranged horizontally in the cabinet body 1. Several equally spaced hollow parts 6 are integrally formed on the positioning plates 5. The hollow parts 5 are rectangular structures, and a receiving cavity for accommodating magnetic tapes is formed between two adjacent hollow parts 6. An installation strip 2 is installed on several positioning plates 5. Several double-headed brush strips 4 are fixedly installed on the strip 2. Several trays 3 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the strip 2. The double-headed brush strips 4 are fixedly installed in the trays 3 so that the tape can remove dust from the surface of the tape when it is inserted into the support. The positioning plate 5 has a U-shaped hole 8 between adjacent hollow parts 6, which can be effectively adapted to the existing automated pick-and-place equipment (tap tape picking and placing robotic arm). The U-shaped hole 8 provides a precise gripping operation space for the end effector of the robotic arm, so that the robotic arm can stably pick up and place tapes by gripping with a cleaver.

[0020] The mounting strip 2 has mounting ears at both ends, which are fixedly connected to the cabinet 1 with screws. This design ensures that the mounting strip 2 is securely installed in the cabinet 1. The corners of the mounting strip 2 are rounded for a smooth transition, effectively preventing skin scratches caused by sharp corners during assembly. The mounting strip 2 has a pair of upright ears 9 integrally formed at the corresponding position of the hollow part 6. The hollow part 6 has insertion holes 7 on both sides. The opposite surfaces of the pair of upright ears 9 have protrusions that fit into the insertion holes 7. The mounting strip 2 itself is elastic, which allows the pair of upright ears 9 to snap into the insertion holes 7 during installation, enabling quick positioning of the mounting strip 2.

[0021] By installing a double-headed brush strip 4 below the tape receiving cavity, dust on the surface of the tape can be effectively brushed away when the tape is inserted or removed, keeping the tape clean. No additional drive device is required; cleaning can be achieved solely by the movement of the tape. The structure is simple and easy to operate. While controlling the energy consumption and maintenance costs of the equipment, it ensures the integrity and reliability of stored data such as meteorological data.
