[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelving technology, specifically to a multi-layer adjustable material rack. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturing process of transformers involves a wide variety of components with complex specifications, including ferrite cores, coil windings, insulation materials, lead assemblies, and structural parts. Their storage, transportation, and on-site management place high demands on production efficiency and operational standardization. As transformer products develop towards larger sizes and greater customization, production workshops are also demanding higher standards for the functionality, flexibility, and space utilization of material storage equipment.

[0003] Currently, the material racks commonly used in transformer manufacturing workshops are mostly static structures with a fixed number of layers and a fixed height, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the size and type of materials.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies need further development. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a multi-layer adjustable material rack to solve the technical problem that most material racks in the related technology are static structures with a fixed number of layers and a fixed height, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the size and type of materials.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a multi-layer adjustable material rack is provided, comprising: at least two first I-beams, each of which extends vertically and is spaced apart horizontally; at least two support members, the extension direction of each support member being perpendicular to the extension direction of each first I-beam, each support member corresponding to each first I-beam, and each support member being detachably mounted on the corresponding first I-beam.

[0007] Furthermore, the support member has a mounting portion, which is detachably mounted on the first I-beam, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the support member gradually decreases from the mounting portion to the direction away from the first I-beam.

[0008] Further, the support includes: a fixing plate extending along the extension direction of the first I-beam and detachably mounted on the first I-beam; a first mounting plate mounted on the side of the fixing plate away from the first I-beam, the extension direction of the first mounting plate being perpendicular to the extension direction of the first I-beam; a second mounting plate extending along the extension direction of the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate being disposed on top of the first mounting plate, and one end of the second mounting plate being connected to the fixing plate; a third mounting plate extending along the extension direction of the first mounting plate, one end of the third mounting plate being connected to the fixing plate; and the third mounting plate being disposed at the bottom of the first mounting plate, with the third mounting plate opposite to the second mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, at least two sets of first mounting holes are provided on the first I-beam, with each set of first mounting holes spaced apart along the extension direction of the first I-beam, and each set of first mounting holes extends along the extension direction of the first mounting plate; two sets of second mounting holes are provided on the fixing plate, with each set of second mounting holes spaced apart along the extension direction of the first I-beam, and each set of second mounting holes corresponding to any two adjacent sets of first mounting holes on the first I-beam; two sets of fasteners are provided, each set of fasteners corresponding to each set of second mounting holes, and each set of fasteners passes through the corresponding second mounting holes and the corresponding first mounting holes to fix the fixing plate to the first I-beam. Each set of first mounting holes has two holes, each set of second mounting holes has two holes, and each set of fasteners has two fasteners.

[0010] Furthermore, the multi-layer adjustable material rack also includes: a mounting beam extending along the width direction of the first I-beam, the mounting beam being connected to the side of each first I-beam away from the fixed plate; at least two second I-beams, each second I-beam corresponding to each first I-beam, each second I-beam being installed on the side of the corresponding first I-beam closest to the ground, each second I-beam extending along the extension direction of the second mounting plate, and each second I-beam contacting the ground.

[0011] Beneficial effects: 1. The vertically extending and spaced first I-beams form the main support frame of the material rack. The detachable support components on the corresponding first I-beams are used to support the materials. The detachable design of the support components allows the height of each layer of the material rack to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual size and type of materials to be stored. This breaks through the limitations of traditional fixed-height material racks and realizes the configurability of the number of material rack layers, thus optimizing the storage space utilization rate of materials of different specifications.

[0012] 2. The support member is detachably connected to the first I-beam through its mounting part, and its cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the mounting part outwards. The tapered structural design increases the operating space at the front end of the support member for placing and retrieving materials, improving the convenience of operation, while reducing the overall weight of the support member, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the material rack.

[0013] 3. Multiple sets of first mounting holes are spaced along the length of the first I-beam, and two sets of corresponding second mounting holes are provided on the fixing plate.

[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0017] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a multi-layer adjustable material rack is provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 It includes: at least two first I-beams 1, each of which extends vertically and is spaced apart horizontally; at least two support members 2, each of which extends perpendicularly to the extension direction of each first I-beam 1, and each support member 2 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with each first I-beam 1, and each support member 2 is detachably mounted on the corresponding first I-beam 1.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertically extending and spaced first I-beams 1 constitute the main support frame of the material rack, and the support members 2, which are detachably installed on the corresponding first I-beams 1, are used to support the materials. The detachable design of the support members 2 allows the height of each layer of the material rack to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual size and type of the stored materials, breaking through the limitations of traditional fixed-height material racks. At the same time, it realizes the configurability of the number of material rack layers and optimizes the storage space utilization rate of materials of different specifications.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 The support member 2 has a mounting part 3, which is detachably mounted on the first I-beam 1. The cross-sectional area of ​​the support member 2 gradually decreases from the mounting part 3 to the direction away from the first I-beam 1.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the support member 2 is detachably connected to the first I-beam 1 through its mounting part 3, and its cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the mounting part 3 outwards; the tapered structural design increases the operating space at the front end of the support member 2 for placing and picking up materials, improves the convenience of operation, and at the same time reduces the overall weight of the support member 2, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the material rack.

[0021] It should be noted that even if the weight is reduced by the tapered structure, the upper surface of the support member 2 should be kept as perpendicular to the first I-beam 1 as possible to prevent the placed material from slipping off the support member 2.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 The support member 2 includes: a fixing plate 4, which extends along the extension direction of the first I-beam 1 and is detachably mounted on the first I-beam 1; a first mounting plate 5, which is mounted on the side of the fixing plate 4 away from the first I-beam 1, and the extension direction of the first mounting plate 5 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first I-beam 1; a second mounting plate 6, which extends along the extension direction of the first mounting plate 5 and is located at the top of the first mounting plate 5, with one end of the second mounting plate 6 connected to the fixing plate 4; a third mounting plate 7, which extends along the extension direction of the first mounting plate 5 and is connected at one end of the third mounting plate 7 to the fixing plate 4; and the third mounting plate 7 is located at the bottom of the first mounting plate 5, and is positioned opposite to the second mounting plate 6.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable and reliable load-bearing platform is provided through a specific combination structure of fixed plate 4, first mounting plate 5, second mounting plate 6 and third mounting plate 7.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1The first I-beam 1 has at least two sets of first mounting holes 8, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first I-beam 1. Each set of first mounting holes 8 extends along the extension direction of the first mounting plate 5. The fixing plate 4 has two sets of second mounting holes 9, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first I-beam 1. Each set of second mounting holes 9 corresponds to any two adjacent sets of first mounting holes 8 on the first I-beam 1. Two sets of fixing members 10 are provided, each corresponding to one set of second mounting holes 9. The fixing members 10 pass through the corresponding second mounting holes 9 and the corresponding first mounting holes 8 to fix the fixing plate 4 to the first I-beam 1. Each set of first mounting holes 8 has two holes, each set of second mounting holes 9 has two holes, and each set of fixing members 10 has two holes.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sets of first mounting holes 8 are spaced apart along the length of the first I-beam 1, and two sets of corresponding second mounting holes 9 are provided on the fixing plate 4. The fixing member 10 passes through the aligned second mounting holes 9 and first mounting holes 8 to achieve a fixed connection between the two. Through the multiple sets of first mounting holes 8 along the height direction of the first I-beam 1, together with the second mounting holes 9 and fixing member 10 on the fixing plate 4, the position of the support member 2 can be continuously adjusted in the vertical direction, making the height of the material rack flexible. At the same time, the reliability and stability of the connection point are ensured by using multiple sets of holes and fixing member 10.

[0026] It should be noted that the fasteners can be either bolt and nut type or snap-fit ​​type for easy disassembly.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 The multi-layer adjustable material rack also includes: a mounting beam 11, which extends along the width direction of the first I-beam 1, wherein... Figure 1 The direction of the middle arrow A is the width direction of the first I-beam 1. The mounting beam 11 is connected to the side of each first I-beam 1 away from the fixing plate 4. There are at least two second I-beams 12, each second I-beam 12 is set in a one-to-one correspondence with each first I-beam 1. Each second I-beam 12 is installed on the side of the corresponding first I-beam 1 near the ground. Each second I-beam 12 extends along the extension direction of the second mounting plate 6 and contacts the ground.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the material rack is further provided with mounting beams 11 connecting the side of each first I-beam 1 away from the support member 2, and second I-beams 12 set at the bottom of each first I-beam 1 and extending along the bearing direction of the support member 2. By setting the mounting beams 11, the lateral connection stiffness between multiple first I-beams 1 is enhanced, and the overall structural stability of the material rack is improved. At the same time, the second I-beams 12, as a base, increase the contact area between the material rack and the ground, effectively disperse the load, and further improve the load-bearing capacity and anti-overturning stability of the material rack, which is especially suitable for storing large transformer components.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting beam 11 is installed on a wall or a stable structure inside the workshop to ensure the stability of the material rack.

[0030] Working principle: When it is necessary to accommodate materials of different sizes or types (such as transformer iron chips, coil windings, insulation parts, etc.), a suitable height is selected along the vertical direction on multiple first I-beams 1 according to the height and width requirements of the materials to be stored. Align the fixing plates 4 of the multiple support members 2 with the selected first mounting holes 8 respectively, and ensure that the second mounting holes 9 on the fixing plates 4 are accurately aligned with the selected first mounting holes 8. By using fasteners 10 (such as bolts and nuts) to pass through the aligned second mounting holes 9 and first mounting holes 8 and tightening them, the multiple support members 2 can be reinstalled at the new target height position. This process allows for independent operation of one or more support components 2, enabling independent and flexible adjustment of the height of each layer of the material rack; Materials (such as stacks of iron chips, coils, insulating boards, etc.) are moved by operators to the target layer of the material rack at a set height.

[0031] The materials are mainly placed and supported on the first mounting plate 5 of the support member 2.

[0032] When placing materials, the material tray is usually located on two adjacent second mounting plates 6, or the number of support pieces 2 can be selected according to the width of the materials. When it is necessary to remove it, the material on the two second mounting plates 6 can be removed by external equipment. Since there are multiple support members 2 and multiple first I-beams 1, this application has a variety of arrangements and combinations to adapt to materials of different shapes and specifications.
