The storage mechanism includes a large part storage component and a small part storage component, with the large part storage component located on the top left side of the material cart body and the small part storage component located on the top right side of the material cart body. When moving the material cart, AGV trolleys are connected to the mounting slot to achieve quick movement of the material cart via AGV trolleys, saving manpower and material resources and speeding up work efficiency. Three sets of connecting plates are set up so that three AGV trolleys can be connected to the material cart at the same time, which can effectively transport heavy objects and further speed up transportation efficiency.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents have provided solutions. However, the height of existing material carts for storing parts is fixed, making it impossible to adjust the height to facilitate the storage and retrieval of parts by workers. On the other hand, the horizontal level of the grid for storing parts is relatively fixed, which makes it difficult for workers to flexibly adjust the placement of the grid at different horizontal positions in actual work, thereby achieving flexible storage and retrieval.

[0006] Therefore, a material cart for storing automotive parts is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material cart for storing automotive parts, which can solve the problems of existing material carts where the height of the parts is fixed and cannot be adjusted to a suitable height for workers to access the parts. On the other hand, the grid for storing parts is relatively fixed in level, which makes it inconvenient for workers to flexibly adjust the position of the grid at different levels in actual work to achieve flexible access.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a material cart for storing automotive parts, comprising a first support plate, universal wheels rotatably mounted at the four bottom corners of the first support plate, a lifting assembly mounted on the top of the first support plate, and a multi-layer rotating placement assembly mounted on the top of the lifting assembly.

[0009] The multi-layer rotating placement assembly includes two support columns, the bottom of which is bolted to the top of the lifting assembly. Three turntables are rotatably arranged on the surface of the support columns, and several storage grids are bolted to the top of the turntables.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes four stabilizing blocks, which are respectively bolted to the four corners of the top of the first support plate.

[0011] Preferably, the interior of the stable mounting block has a first mounting groove, and a telescopic electric cylinder is installed inside the first mounting groove.

[0012] Preferably, a second support plate is bolted between the tops of the four telescopic electric cylinders, and the top of the second support plate is bolted to the bottom of the two support columns respectively.

[0013] Preferably, a magnetic sheet is attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the storage grid, and an anti-slip pad is attached to the top of the magnetic sheet.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the support column is fitted with three mounting rings, and the inside of each mounting ring is provided with a second mounting groove. A lighting strip is installed inside the second mounting groove, and the three mounting rings are used in conjunction with corresponding turntables.

[0015] Preferably, three mounting plates are bolted to both the front and rear sides of the support column, and threaded holes are provided on the side of the mounting plate away from the support column.

[0016] Preferably, the internal thread of the threaded hole is connected to a fixing pin, and the bottom of the fixing pin is bolted with an anti-slip rotating block. The tops of the three fixing pins respectively contact the bottom of the corresponding turntable.

[0017] Preferably, rubber anti-slip strips are bolted to all four sides of the top of the first support plate, and several anti-slip protrusions are provided on the top of the first support plate.

[0018] Preferably, a push handle is bolted to the left side of the top of the first support plate, and a brake pedal is provided on the left side of the two omnidirectional wheels on the left.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. This application sets up a lifting component and uses four telescopic electric cylinders to synchronously drive the second support plate to lift. The height of the multi-layer rotating placement component can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the staff or their position, avoiding bending over and tiptoeing to operate, reducing labor intensity, and adapting to staff of different heights and diverse access scenarios.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0030] A material cart for storing automotive parts includes a first support plate 1, with casters 2 rotatably mounted at the four corners of the bottom of the first support plate 1, a lifting assembly 3 mounted on the top of the first support plate 1, and a multi-layer rotating placement assembly 4 mounted on the top of the lifting assembly 3.

[0031] The multi-layer rotating placement assembly 4 includes two support columns 41. The bottom of the support columns 41 is bolted to the top of the lifting assembly 3. Three turntables 42 are rotatably arranged on the surface of the support columns 41. Several storage grids 43 are bolted to the top of the turntables 42.

[0032] In this embodiment: the first support plate 1 serves as the basic load-bearing component of the material cart, and the bottom universal wheels 2 are silent wheels with brakes, which facilitates the flexible movement and fixation of the material cart and is suitable for the transfer needs of various scenarios such as workshops and repair shops. The lifting component 3 is the core of height adjustment, which can adjust the overall height of the multi-layer rotating placement component 4 according to actual needs. In the multi-layer rotating placement component 4, two support columns 41 are symmetrically arranged to provide stable support for the turntable 42. The three turntables 42 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the support columns 41 to form three layers of storage space. Several storage grids 43 (the size of the grid is designed according to the size of the parts) are evenly bolted to the top of each turntable 42 for classifying and storing automotive parts of different specifications. The turntables 42 can rotate freely around the support columns 41, and the staff can rotate the turntables 42 to retrieve parts in different positions while standing in place, which improves the flexibility of storage and retrieval.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 includes four stabilizing mounting blocks 31, which are respectively bolted to the four corners of the top of the first support plate 1.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the stable mounting block 31 is provided with a first mounting groove 32, and a telescopic electric cylinder 33 is installed inside the first mounting groove 32.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 1As shown, a second support plate 34 is bolted between the tops of the four telescopic electric cylinders 33, and the top of the second support plate 34 is bolted to the bottom of the two support columns 41 respectively.

[0036] In this embodiment: the four stable mounting blocks 31 of the lifting assembly 3 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy and are bolted to the first support plate 1 to ensure the stable installation of the telescopic electric cylinder 33; the first mounting groove 32 is adapted to the cylinder body of the telescopic electric cylinder 33 to prevent the electric cylinder from shaking; the four telescopic electric cylinders 33 adopt synchronous control technology, and can extend or shorten synchronously after being powered on, driving the second support plate 34 to rise and fall smoothly, thereby adjusting the height of the multi-layer rotating placement assembly 4. For example, when the staff is tall, or when they are at different heights, the height can be adjusted to avoid bending over and facilitate the storage and retrieval of parts.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a magnetic sheet 5 is attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the storage grid 43, and an anti-slip pad 6 is attached to the top of the magnetic sheet 5.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, three mounting rings 7 are fitted on the surface of the support column 41. The mounting rings 7 have a second mounting groove 8 inside, and a lighting strip 9 is installed inside the second mounting groove 8. The three mounting rings 7 are used in conjunction with the corresponding turntables 42.

[0039] In this embodiment: the mounting ring 7 and the support column 41 are fixed with a tight fit, and its position corresponds to the turntable 42. The lighting strip 9 in the second mounting groove 8 uses a low-voltage LED light. After being powered on, it can illuminate the storage grid 43 on the top of the corresponding turntable 42. It provides sufficient lighting when the workshop light is insufficient or the parts are not easy to identify deep in the grid, so that the staff can quickly find the target parts. The magnetic sheet 5 in the storage grid 43 is made of strong magnetic material, which can attract metal parts such as bolts, nuts, and washers, and prevent the parts from sliding and falling during the movement of the material cart. The anti-slip pad 6 is made of rubber with a diamond pattern on the surface. On the one hand, it enhances the friction of non-metallic parts (such as plastic buckles and rubber sealing rings), and on the other hand, it avoids the magnetic sheet 5 from directly contacting the parts and causing scratches, thus improving the safety of the parts storage.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, three mounting plates 10 are bolted to the front and rear sides of the support column 41, and threaded holes 11 are opened on the side of the mounting plate 10 away from the support column 41.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a fixing pin 12 is connected to the internal thread of the threaded hole 11. An anti-slip rotating block 13 is bolted to the bottom of the fixing pin 12. The tops of the three fixing pins 12 respectively contact the bottom of the corresponding turntable 42.

[0042] In this embodiment: the mounting plate 10 is vertically bolted to the support column 41, and each turntable 42 corresponds to two mounting plates 10, with threaded holes 11 and fixing pins 12 adapted to each other; when the turntable 42 rotates to the target position, the fixing pin 12 is turned clockwise so that its top is in close contact with the bottom of the turntable 42, locking the position of the turntable 42 by friction, preventing the turntable 42 from rotating accidentally when storing or retrieving parts; the surface of the anti-slip turntable 13 is made of anti-slip material to increase the friction when the hand is turning it, making it easy to operate.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, rubber anti-slip strips 14 are bolted to all four sides of the top of the first support plate 1, and several anti-slip protrusions 15 are provided on the top of the first support plate 1.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a push handle 16 is bolted to the left side of the top of the first support plate 1, and a brake pedal 17 is provided on the left side of the two omnidirectional wheels 2.

[0045] In this embodiment: the rubber anti-slip strip 14 on the top of the first support plate 1 can prevent toolboxes, spare parts boxes and other items placed on top from slipping off; the anti-slip protrusions 15 are hemispherical and evenly distributed on the surface of the first support plate 1 to enhance the friction between the items and the support plate and further improve stability; the part of the push handle 16 that contacts the hand adopts an arc design and is covered with anti-slip sponge to facilitate the worker to push the material cart; the brake pedal 17 of the left universal wheel 2 can lock the wheel when it is pressed to prevent the material cart from moving on its own when storing or retrieving parts and to ensure operational safety.

[0046] Working principle: Based on the first support plate 1 as the basic load-bearing component, the silent universal wheels 2 with brake function at the bottom allow the material cart to move and be fixed flexibly in workshops, repair rooms, and other scenarios. The lifting component 3 is the core of height adjustment. Its four high-strength aluminum alloy stable mounting blocks 31 are connected to the first support plate 1 by bolts to ensure the stable installation of the telescopic electric cylinder 33. The four telescopic electric cylinders 33 adopt synchronous control technology. After being energized, they synchronously extend and retract, driving the second support plate 34 to rise and fall smoothly, thereby adjusting the height of the multi-layer rotating placement component 4 to meet the storage and retrieval needs of workers of different heights or different operating positions. In the multi-layer rotating placement component 4, two symmetrical support columns 41 provide stable support for three turntables 42 evenly distributed along the axial direction. The turntables 42 can rotate freely around the support columns 41. They are bolted with storage grids 43 designed according to the size of the parts, which are used to classify and store automotive parts, improving the flexibility of storage and retrieval. Installation ring 7 The low-voltage LED lighting strip 9 in the second mounting slot 8 is tightly fitted to the support column 41 and corresponds to the turntable 42. When powered on, it illuminates the corresponding storage grid 43, making it easy to identify parts in low light. The magnetic sheet 5 in the storage grid 43 attracts metal parts to prevent them from slipping. The rubber anti-slip pad 6 with diamond pattern on the surface enhances the friction of non-metallic parts and prevents the magnetic sheet 5 from scratching the parts. The mounting plate 10 is vertically bolted to the support column 41. When the turntable 42 rotates to the target position, the anti-slip rotating block 13 is turned to drive the fixing pin 12, so that its top is in close contact with the bottom of the turntable 42. The friction locks the position of the turntable 42. The rubber anti-slip strip 14 on the top of the first support plate 1 prevents items from slipping. The anti-slip protrusion 15 enhances the friction between the items and the support plate. The curved part of the push handle 16 is wrapped with anti-slip sponge to facilitate pushing the material cart. Stepping on the brake pedal 17 of the left universal wheel 2 can lock the wheel and ensure operational safety.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
