Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material rack technology, and more specifically, it relates to a folding material support rack for automated production lines. Background Technology
[0002] In modern manufacturing, automated production lines significantly improve production efficiency and product quality through highly coordinated process connections and precise material flow. As a key auxiliary equipment on the production line, the core function of material handling racks has evolved from simple storage and support to meeting multiple requirements such as ergonomic adaptation, dynamic material supply coordination, and production cycle synchronization.
[0003] Currently, most mainstream load-bearing racks adopt a fixed capacity structure (such as standard material frames and pallet racks), which cannot dynamically adjust the capacity according to production needs. In the small-batch, multi-variety production mode, fixed capacity load-bearing racks are often in a low-load state. When there is a sudden increase in orders, fixed capacity racks need to be replenished frequently, which is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the current mainstream material carriers that generally adopt fixed-capacity structures (such as standard material frames and pallet frames), which cannot dynamically adjust the capacity according to production needs, and the fact that fixed-capacity material carriers are often in a low-load state under small-batch, multi-variety production mode, and need to be frequently replenished when there is a sudden increase in orders, which is quite troublesome, this utility model proposes a folding material carrier for automated production lines to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a folding material support frame for an automated production line, comprising a base plate, a displacement component and a support component disposed on the outer surface of the base plate, a support component rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support component, a telescopic component disposed inside the support component, a partition component disposed on the outer surface of the support component, and a displacement component slidably connected to the support component. Both the displacement component and the support component are used to support the support component, the telescopic component is used to expand the capacity of the support component, and the partition component is used to divide the support component into sections.
[0007] Furthermore, the displacement assembly includes a motor, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate. A first screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor. The first screw is rotatably connected to the base plate. A square plate is threaded onto the outer surface of the first screw. A sliding column is fixedly connected to the side of the square plate. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding column.
[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support column, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support column, and a pivot is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the horizontal plate, with the pivot penetrating through the horizontal plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the supporting component includes a supporting plate, which is rotatably connected to a horizontal plate via a rotating shaft. The outer surface of the supporting plate is provided with a waist-shaped groove, and the sliding rod is slidably connected to the waist-shaped groove. A baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic component includes a spring, which is fixedly connected inside the baffle. A first limiting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the spring, and a first sliding plate is fixedly connected to the top of the first limiting plate. Both the first limiting plate and the first sliding plate are slidably connected to the baffle.
[0011] Furthermore, the separating assembly includes a separating plate, which is slidably connected to a baffle. A second screw is rotatably connected inside the separating plate. A second limiting plate and a second sliding plate are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second screw. The second limiting plate and the second sliding plate are fixedly connected. Both the second limiting plate and the second sliding plate are slidably connected inside the separating plate. Bolts are threadedly connected to the side of the separating plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a knob is fixedly connected to the end of the second screw, and a hexagonal groove is formed on the outer surface of the knob.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model connects the load-bearing component and the telescopic component. In the normal position, the telescopic component is pressed into the load-bearing component by the partition component. The partition component can limit and fix the telescopic component. After the limit and fixation of the partition component is released, the height of the partition component is adjusted to move it away from the load-bearing component. At this time, the compressed telescopic component gradually extends out from the load-bearing component, increasing the capacity of the telescopic component and the load-bearing component. There is no need to replace the equipment, and it is convenient to dynamically adjust the capacity according to the production situation.
[0015] 2. This utility model connects the partition plate and the baffle plate. By rotating the bolts, the partition plate is separated from the baffle plate, and the limiting fixation between the partition plate and the baffle plate is released. At this time, the partition plate can be pushed to slide on the outer surface of the baffle plate, thereby adjusting the distance between multiple sets of partition plates. Multiple sets of partition plates divide the baffle plate into different spaces, which can be used to store different materials.
[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a folding material support frame for an automated production line, including a base plate 1. The outer surface of the base plate 1 is provided with a displacement component 2 and a support component 3. The outer surface of the support component 3 is rotatably connected to a support component 4. The interior of the support component 4 is provided with a telescopic component 5. The outer surface of the support component 4 is provided with a partition component 6. The displacement component 2 and the support component 4 are slidably connected. Both the displacement component 2 and the support component 3 are used to support the support component 4. The telescopic component 5 is used to expand the capacity of the support component 4. The partition component 6 is used to divide the support component 4 into sections.
[0029] Activate displacement component 2. Displacement component 2 slides on the outer surface of base plate 1 and moves away from support component 3, causing displacement component 2 to separate from the rotation axis of bearing component 4. During the movement, displacement component 2 pushes bearing component 4 up to keep it horizontal, releasing the limiting fixation between partition component 6 and bearing component 4. Push partition component 6 to slide along bearing component 4, which can divide bearing component 4 into areas of different sizes, making it convenient to place different materials required by the automated production line. Then adjust the height of partition component 6 to reduce the downward pressure of partition component 6 on telescopic component 5, so that telescopic component 5 rises with partition component 6 and extends out from bearing component 4, which can increase the capacity of bearing component 4.
[0030] This invention connects the load-bearing component 4 and the telescopic component 5. In the normal position, the telescopic component 5 is pressed into the load-bearing component 4 by the partition component 6. The partition component 6 can limit and fix the telescopic component 5. After the limit and fixation of the partition component 6 is released, the height of the partition component 6 is adjusted to move it away from the load-bearing component 4. At this time, the compressed telescopic component 5 gradually extends out from the load-bearing component 4, increasing the capacity of the telescopic component 5 and the load-bearing component 4. There is no need to replace the equipment, and it is convenient to dynamically adjust the capacity according to the production situation.
[0031] In one embodiment, the displacement component 2 includes a motor 201, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 1. A first screw 202 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 201. The first screw 202 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1. A square plate 203 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first screw 202. A sliding column 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the square plate 203. A sliding rod 205 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding column 204.
[0032] When the motor 201 is started, the output shaft of the motor 201 drives the first screw 202 to rotate. The rotational tendency of the square plate 203 on the outer surface of the first screw 202 is blocked by the sliding column 204 and the base plate 1. At this time, the first screw 202 can drive the square plate 203 to drive the sliding column 204 and the sliding rod 205 to slide on the outer surface of the base plate 1.
[0033] In one embodiment, the support component 3 includes a support column 301, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A horizontal plate 302 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support column 301, and a rotating shaft 303 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the horizontal plate 302, which passes through the horizontal plate 302.
[0034] In one embodiment, the bearing component 4 includes a bearing plate 401, which is rotatably connected to a horizontal plate 302 via a pivot 303. The outer surface of the bearing plate 401 is provided with a waist-shaped groove 402, and the sliding rod 205 is slidably connected to the waist-shaped groove 402. A baffle 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the bearing plate 401.
[0035] The sliding rod 205 slides along the waist-shaped groove 402 on the side of the bearing plate 401, so that the axis of the sliding rod 205 is offset from that of the rotating shaft 303. The sliding rod 205 can push the bearing plate 401 and the baffle 403 to rotate around the rotating shaft 303, so that the bearing plate 401 rotates to a horizontal position. At this time, the material can be placed between the baffle 403 and the bearing plate 401, which makes it easier for the robotic arm of the automated production line to grasp the material.
[0036] In one embodiment, the telescopic component 5 includes a spring 501, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the baffle 403. A first limiting plate 502 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 501, and a first sliding plate 503 is fixedly connected to the top of the first limiting plate 502. Both the first limiting plate 502 and the first sliding plate 503 are slidably connected to the baffle 403.
[0037] In one embodiment, the partition assembly 6 includes a partition plate 601, which is slidably connected to a baffle 403. A second screw 602 is rotatably connected inside the partition plate 601. A second limiting plate 603 and a second sliding plate 604 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second screw 602, respectively. The second limiting plate 603 and the second sliding plate 604 are fixedly connected. Both the second limiting plate 603 and the second sliding plate 604 are slidably connected inside the partition plate 601. A bolt 605 is threadedly connected to the side of the partition plate 601.
[0038] Rotating bolt 605 releases the limiting fixation of partition plate 601, pushing partition plate 601 to slide along baffle 403. Adjusting the distance between multiple sets of partition plates 601 can divide baffle 403 into different areas, facilitating the placement of different materials. Rotating the second screw 602 inside partition plate 601 blocks the rotation of the second limiting plate 603 on the outer surface of the second screw 602. At this time, the second screw 602 can drive the second limiting plate 603 and the second sliding plate 604 to slide. The bottom of the second sliding plate 604 abuts against the bearing plate 401, generating a counter-pushing force that causes partition plate 601 to move upward. The spring 501 compressed by partition plate 601 resets and generates a thrust to push the first limiting plate 502 to move. The first limiting plate 502 drives the first sliding plate 503 to move with partition plate 601, causing the first sliding plate 503 to extend out of baffle 403 to increase capacity.
[0039] In one embodiment, for the second screw 602, a knob 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the second screw 602, and a hexagonal groove 8 is formed on the outer surface of the knob 7.
[0040] The operator can insert the tool into the hexagonal slot 8 on the top of the knob 7, and then push the tool to rotate the knob 7 and the second screw 602 to adjust the partition plate 601.
[0041] Through the above technical solutions: 1. By connecting the bearing component 4 and the telescopic component 5, in the normal position, the telescopic component 5 is pressed into the bearing component 4 by the partition component 6. The partition component 6 can limit and fix the telescopic component 5. After releasing the limit and fixation of the partition component 6, the height of the partition component 6 can be adjusted to move it away from the bearing component 4. At this time, the compressed telescopic component 5 gradually extends out from the bearing component 4, increasing the capacity of the telescopic component 5 and the bearing component 4. There is no need to replace the equipment, and it is convenient to dynamically adjust the capacity according to the production situation. 2. By connecting the partition plate 601 and the baffle 403, the rotating bolt 605 can separate it from the baffle 403, releasing the limit and fixation between the partition plate 601 and the baffle 403. At this time, the partition plate 601 can be pushed to slide on the outer surface of the baffle 403, thereby adjusting the distance between multiple sets of partition plates 601. Multiple sets of partition plates 601 divide the baffle 403 into different spaces, which can be used to store different materials.
