Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical automation, and in particular to a bracket for automated equipment. Background Technology
[0002] With the gradual popularization of mechanical automation, the functions and roles of automated equipment are becoming more and more powerful. Various hardware parts are needed for automated equipment, among which brackets are a type of component used in large quantities. They are generally used to support and fix various mechanisms of automated equipment.
[0003] Regarding brackets for automated equipment, for example, patent publication number CN221424395U discloses a bracket for automated equipment, including a first pillar, a second pillar, and a base plate. The top of the first pillar is connected to the second pillar via a movable column and a mounting bracket. The top of the second pillar is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the base plate at its center, and the second pillar is located directly above the first pillar. The first pillar has a cavity inside for mounting an electric cylinder. The lower part of the movable column is located within the cavity, and the top of the movable column is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting bracket. The electric cylinder is connected to the bottom end of the movable column via a piston rod. The top of the first pillar has a groove communicating with the cavity, and the electric cylinder and a power supply are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the cavity. Through the design of the movable column, the height of the first and second pillars can be adjusted. The electric cylinder pushes the movable column upward via the piston rod, which in turn pushes the mounting bracket, the second pillar, and the base plate upward, thereby adjusting the height of the base plate.
[0004] However, existing automated equipment supports, similar to those disclosed above, have the risk of accidental triggering of lifting actions, and there is even a chance of unexpected lifting or lowering due to electrical equipment malfunction and loss of control. Utility Model Content
[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved The core of this invention lies in using multiple limiting blocks on the limiting plate to limit the positioning block on the second pillar, thus solving the problem of accidental triggering of lifting actions in existing technologies. Simultaneously, it allows for timely notification to staff.
[0006] 2. Technical Solution To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0007] A support frame for automated equipment includes a base, a telescopic support column, and a support top plate connected sequentially from bottom to top. The telescopic support column includes a first support column and a second support column. The first support column is vertically fixed to the upper end of the base, and the second support column is fixed to the lower end of the support top plate. The second support column is vertically slidably sleeved on the inner side of the first support column. A drive assembly for driving the second support column to rise and fall is installed on the base. A positioning block is integrally installed on one side of the vertical outer wall of the second pillar. A groove is provided on the inner wall of the first pillar for the positioning block to move up and down. A limit plate is horizontally slidably installed on the side of the first pillar near the positioning block. Multiple limit blocks are integrally installed at equal intervals from top to bottom through one end face of the first pillar, and the distance between two adjacent limit blocks is greater than the height of the positioning block.
[0008] By limiting the positioning block on the second support column with multiple limit blocks on the limit plate, the probability of accidental triggering of the lifting action of the second support column and the probability of accidental lifting due to electrical equipment failure can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the safety of the bracket.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive motor and a threaded rod. The drive motor is mounted on the upper end of the base, and the threaded rod is coaxially fixed with the second support column, with the threaded rod threadedly sleeved on the inner side of the second support column.
[0010] Furthermore, pressure sensors are installed on both the upper and lower end faces of the positioning block.
[0011] Furthermore, the top plate of the support is densely covered with multiple threaded holes, and support bolts are threaded into the threaded holes.
[0012] Furthermore, a guide slide is horizontally fixed on the outer wall of the first pillar near the limiting plate, and a tension spring is also fixed between the first pillar and the limiting plate.
[0013] Furthermore, a C-shaped handle is fixed to the end face of the limiting plate away from the positioning block.
[0014] 3. Beneficial Effects Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are: (1) This solution limits the positioning block on the second support by using multiple limit blocks on the limit plate, which can effectively reduce the probability of false triggering of the lifting action of the second support and the probability of accidental lifting due to electrical equipment failure and loss of control, thereby improving the safety of the bracket.
[0015] (2) In this solution, a tension spring is fixed between the first support column and the limiting plate. After the second support column is raised and lowered to the preset height, the tension spring is used to make the limiting plate with the limiting block reset and limit the positioning block. In addition, due to the setting of the tension spring, when the positioning block and the limiting block are on the same plane, once the second support column performs a non-operational raising and lowering action, the tension spring can automatically make the limiting plate with the limiting block limit the positioning block.
[0016] (3) This solution installs pressure sensors on both the upper and lower ends of the positioning block. The pressure sensors detect the vertical pressure on the positioning block. When the pressure suddenly changes to a preset threshold, an alarm is triggered by an external alarm device, so that the staff can be informed of the fault and accidental contact of the bracket in a timely manner.

[0019] The technical solution will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this utility model.
[0020] Example 1: Please see Figures 1-4 A support frame for automated equipment includes a base 1, a telescopic support column, and a support top plate 4 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The telescopic support column includes a first support column 2 and a second support column 3. The first support column 2 is vertically fixed to the upper end of the base 1, and the second support column 3 is fixed to the lower end of the support top plate 4. The second support column 3 is vertically slidably sleeved on the inner side of the first support column 2. A drive assembly for driving the second support column 3 to rise and fall is installed on the base 1.
[0021] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive motor 5 and a threaded rod 6. The drive motor 5 can be a conventional type of electric motor and is installed on the upper end of the base 1. The threaded rod 6 is coaxially fixed with the second support column 3 and is threadedly sleeved on the inner side of the second support column 3. Of course, the horizontal cross section of the second support column 3 is not circular to ensure that when the drive motor 5 drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate, the threaded rod 6 can drive the second support column 3 to move up or down, thereby achieving stable lifting and lowering of the second support column 3.
[0022] The support top plate 4 is densely covered with multiple threaded holes 401, and support bolts 14 are threaded into the threaded holes 401. The height of the support bolts 14 above the top surface of the support top plate 4 can be adjusted according to actual needs, so as to facilitate stable support for objects with uneven bottoms.
[0023] To reduce the probability of accidental triggering of the lifting action of the second pillar 3 and the probability of the second pillar 3 unexpectedly lifting due to the failure of the drive motor 5, a positioning block 7 is integrally provided on one side of the vertical outer wall of the second pillar 3. A groove 201 for the lifting action of the positioning block 7 is provided on the inner wall of the first pillar 2. A limit plate 8 is horizontally slidably installed on the side of the first pillar 2 near the positioning block 7. Multiple limit blocks 9 are integrally provided at equal intervals from top to bottom through one end face of the first pillar 2, and the distance between two adjacent limit blocks 9 is greater than the height of the positioning block 7.
[0024] By limiting the positioning block 7 on the second support column 3 with multiple limiting blocks 9 on the limiting plate 8, the probability of accidental triggering of the lifting action of the second support column 3 and the probability of accidental lifting due to electrical equipment failure can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the safety of the bracket.
[0025] To improve the stability of the horizontal sliding of the limiting plate 8, a guide slide 10 is horizontally fixed on the outer wall of the first pillar 2 near the limiting plate 8. In addition, to facilitate pulling the limiting plate 8 outward, a C-shaped handle 12 is fixed on the end face of the limiting plate 8 away from the positioning block 7. Manually pulling the C-shaped handle 12 outward will cause the limiting plate 8, along with the limiting block 9, to be offset from the vertical plane where the positioning block 7 is located. At this time, the threaded rod 6 can drive the second pillar 3 to move up or down, realizing the stable lifting and lowering of the second pillar 3. In order to enable the limiting plate 8 to automatically reset with the limiting block 9 to stably limit the positioning block 7, a tension spring 11 is also fixed between the first pillar 2 and the limiting plate 8. After the second pillar 3 is raised and lowered to the preset height, the tension spring 11 is used to reset the limiting plate 8 with the limiting block 9 to limit the positioning block 7.
[0026] In addition, due to the setting of the tension spring 11, when the positioning block 7 and the limiting block 9 are on the same plane, once the second column 3 performs a non-operational lifting action, the tension spring 11 can automatically cause the limiting plate 8 to limit the positioning block 7 with the limiting block 9.
[0027] Example 2: To facilitate the identification of staff regarding malfunctions and accidental activation of the support structure (referring only to the probability of accidental triggering of the lifting action of the second support column 3 and the probability of the second support column 3 experiencing unexpected lifting or lowering due to a malfunction or loss of control of the drive motor 5), standard pressure sensors 13 are installed on both the upper and lower ends of the positioning block 7. The pressure sensors 13 detect the vertical pressure on the positioning block 7. When a sudden change in pressure is detected to a preset threshold, an alarm is triggered through an external alarm device to promptly notify the staff, and the drive motor 5 is controlled by the controller to stop operation (referring only to the accidental triggering of the lifting action of the second support column 3).
[0028] It should be noted that the model and specifications of the drive motor 5 and pressure sensor 13 in this solution need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail. The power supply and principle of the drive motor 5 and pressure sensor 13 are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; it encompasses all the protection scope of this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
