[0016] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The present invention discloses a tire cross-section placement rack, as follows: Figure 1 It includes a placement frame 1, a buckle unit 2 and an indicator component 3. The outer wall of the placement frame 1 has several buckle units 2 and several indicator components 3 are arranged around the buckle units 2 on the outer wall of the placement frame 1.
[0018] In use, the tire bead wire of the tire section 6 is aligned with the latch window 21 and inserted vertically. The bead contacts the float 232, triggering the sensor 24 via the locking spring 231. The sensor signal is transmitted to the control unit 25, which drives the indicator component 3 to display status information. The system automatically records the coordinate position of the latch unit, thus achieving anti-detachment locking and data recording. When the tire section placement frame needs to be moved, the telescopic plate 52 is slid into the telescopic shell 51 and fixed in the corresponding position, so that the telescopic plate 52 is off the ground. After moving the tire section placement frame to the designated position, the telescopic plate 52 is adjusted to engage with the telescopic shell 51 in the designated position, so that the telescopic plate 52 contacts the ground, thereby enabling safe and stable equipment movement.
[0019] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 2-4 The latching unit 2 includes a latching window 21, a spring window 22, a locking spring 231, a float 232, a sensor 24, and a control unit 25. The latching window 21 is located on the outer wall of the storage rack 1. The spring window 22 is located at the top of the latching window 21. The sensor 24 is located at the top of the spring window 22. The locking spring 231 is installed on the side of the sensor 24 facing the latching window 21. One end of the locking spring 231 is installed on the sensor 24, and the other end of the locking spring 231 is installed with the float 232. The control unit 25 is located inside the storage rack 1 and is electrically connected to the sensor 24. The storage rack 1 carries all the functional units and provides high-density storage space. The snap-fit unit 2 is the core design of this utility model, and its functions are as follows: In the warehousing stage: the snap-fit window 21 accommodates the tire cross-section bead wires; the float 232 and locking spring 231 work in conjunction with the snap-fit window to form a self-locking mechanism for the tire cross-section; the sensor 24 detects the cross-section's locking state and triggers a signal transmitted to the control unit 25; the control unit 25 records the position information and controls the LED light to turn off; In the retrieval stage: the cross-section specifications are input at the control terminal; the control unit 25 retrieves the coordinates and indicates the tire cross-section position through a buzzer and flashing LED light. The control unit 25 integrates circuit systems for receiving sensor signals, storing cross-section information, and controlling the indicator component 3, thereby improving retrieval efficiency and reducing the risk of confusion.
[0020] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 The indicator component 3 is electrically connected to the control unit 25. The indicator component 3 responds to the trigger signal from the sensor 24 to indicate the locked or released state of the latching unit 2. The indicator component displays the status based on the sensor signal, providing visual and audible guidance, enabling the operator to quickly locate the target section and avoid confusion and misoperation.
[0021] In one specific embodiment, the indicating components include an indicator light 31 and a buzzer 32. When the tire section bead wire is correctly engaged in the sensor-equipped clip, the control unit 25, after confirming the proper placement via sensor 24, will turn off the indicator light 31, providing visual confirmation of normal entry into the warehouse. Conversely, when the operator inputs a specified section specification command through the control unit 25 program, the control unit 25 will control the corresponding indicator light 31 to illuminate, and simultaneously the buzzer 32 will emit a prompt sound, jointly achieving visual and audible guidance of the section release status.
[0022] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1The placement frame 1 also includes rollers 4 and anti-tipping components 5. The rollers 4 are symmetrically arranged and connected to both sides of the bottom of the placement frame 1. The anti-tipping components 5 are symmetrically arranged and connected to the bottom of the placement frame 1, and are positioned between the two rollers 4. The rollers 4 are used for movement, and the anti-tipping components 5 are used to provide central support, increase the stability of the frame, and prevent tipping.
[0023] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 The anti-rollover assembly 5 includes a telescopic shell 51, a telescopic plate 52, a baffle 521, a through hole 522, a limiting hole 53, an adjusting spring 541, and an adjusting knob 542. The telescopic shells 51 are arranged in pairs and installed on both sides of the placement frame 1. Limiting holes 53 are opened on both sides of the telescopic shells 51. The telescopic plates 52 are arranged in pairs and slidably connected inside the telescopic shells 51. The telescopic plates 52 have through holes 522 inside, and a baffle 521 is installed in the center section of the through hole 522. The adjusting springs 541 are arranged in pairs and installed in the through hole 522. The two adjusting springs 541 are installed on both sides of the baffle 521. The adjusting knob 542 is installed at one end of the adjusting spring 541 and is inserted into the limiting hole 53. The through hole 522 provides a sliding path for the adjustment knob 542, and the adjustment spring 541 provides a bidirectional elastic restoring force, driving the adjustment knob 542 to adaptively engage with the limit hole 53 to achieve a locking operation. This design enables the telescopic plate 52 to stably output support force. When the telescopic plate is fully extended, it forms a rigid triangular support surface, significantly reducing the risk of center of gravity shift.
[0024] In one specific embodiment, multiple snap-fit units 2 are distributed in an array of M rows and N columns on the side wall of the mounting frame 1, where 35 ≤ M ≤ 50 and 5 ≤ N ≤ 15. Preferably, M = 40 and N = 10, using a minimum cross-sectional storage array that conforms to the physical structure of a tire cross-section to adapt to the usage requirements of different scenarios.
[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
