Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material storage technology, and in particular to a pipe storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of electrical control cabinets and their supporting equipment, different types of metal pipes are required. These pipes are usually stacked on storage racks, but this method is not only unstable but may also cause the pipes to fall, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, it is not convenient for workers to pick up and put down the pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a pipe storage rack with a simple structure that improves the orderliness and stability of pipe storage.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technology: A pipe fitting storage rack includes a frame body with a vertically oriented groove. Multiple placement plates, each engaging with the rack's two walls, are arranged within the groove. These placement plates are movable vertically and are used to hold pipe fittings. Symmetrical vertical through-slots are formed at both ends of the placement plates extending from one side of the groove. Push rods are movable vertically within each through-slot, with push plates connected to their bottom ends. The push rods rotate around their own axes, allowing the push plates to pass through the through-slots only when the push rods rotate to a predetermined position.

[0005] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: the multi-layer placement plate arrangement facilitates the orderly arrangement of pipe fittings and allows for a more intuitive observation of changes in their number. On the other hand, the weight of the upper placement plate and pipe fittings can be used to press down the lower placement plate and pipe fittings, improving stability. The push rod and the rotating and lifting mechanism of the push plate can drive the lifting of one or more placement plates, making it easier for workers to place or retrieve pipe fittings on any layer of the placement plate.

[0009] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the placement plate in the embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0010] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in the present utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0011] This application provides a pipe storage rack, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, which has a vertically oriented groove 11. The groove 11 contains multiple layers of placement plates 2 that match its structure. Each layer of placement plate 2 corresponds to a layer of pipe fitting. The placement plates 2 are movable in the vertical direction and are used to place pipe fittings. The bottommost layer of placement plate 2 is fixed and supported by the bottom of the groove 11. The two ends of the placement plate 2 extending out of the groove 11 are symmetrically vertically oriented through grooves 23. Push rods 3 are movable in the vertical direction within the through grooves 23. The bottom end of the push rods 3 is connected to a push plate 31. The push rods 3 are rotatable around their own axis. Only when the push rods 3 rotate to a predetermined position can the push plate 31 pass through the through grooves 23.

[0012] In application, if the work is to be performed on a specific layer of placement plate 2, the push rod 3 must first be rotated to a predetermined position so that it can pass through the through slot 23. Then, the push rod 3 is moved vertically, causing it to move the push plate 31 between the current layer of placement plate 2 and the layer above it. The push rod 3 is then rotated again, causing the push plate 31 to rotate to a position where it can no longer pass through the through slot 23. The push rod 3 is then moved upwards, causing the push plate 31 to move upwards. This causes the push plate 31 to move all the placement plates 2 above the current layer of placement plate 2 upwards, thus exposing the upper surface of the current layer of placement plate 2. At this point, the placement and retrieval of pipe fittings can be performed. Furthermore, a single storage rack can be used to hold only one type of pipe fitting, or different types of pipe fittings can be placed on different layers of placement plates 2.

[0013] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the placement plate 2 includes a sliding plate 21 arranged along the length direction of the frame 1. A support plate 22 extends outward from one side of the sliding plate 21, and multiple support plates 22 are arranged in an array along the length direction of the sliding plate 21. The support plates 22 are used to place pipe fittings, and one support plate 22 corresponds to one pipe fitting. The end of the support plate 22 away from the sliding plate 21 and the two ends of the sliding plate 21 extend out of the frame 1.

[0014] like Figures 1-3As shown, since the slide 11 and the placement plate 2 are structurally matched, the slide 11 includes a long groove arranged along the length of the frame 1 and a plurality of short grooves formed by branches from one side of the long groove and arranged along the width of the frame 1. The long groove corresponds to the sliding plate 21, and the short grooves correspond to the support plate 22. The two ends of the long groove penetrate the two end faces of the frame 1, and one end of the short groove penetrates one side of the frame 1, so that the workers can place and pick up the pipes from one end of the support plate 22. The above-mentioned structural arrangement of the slide 11 and the placement plate 2 can improve the stability of the placement plate 2 when sliding in the slide 11, and prevent the placement plate 2 from tilting during the lifting process, so that the pipes on the placement plate 2 will slip off. It can also disperse the pipes located on the same layer of the placement plate 2, so as to prevent the other pipes from being pulled down by the friction between adjacent pipes when one or more pipes are taken out, which may cause the pipes to slip off.

[0015] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper and lower surfaces of the support plate 22 are provided with V-shaped grooves along the width direction of the sliding plate 21. The pipe fittings are clamped by using the V-shaped grooves on the upper and lower surfaces of the two adjacent support plates 22. It can also be used to clamp pipe fittings of different diameters, thereby improving stability and practicality.

[0016] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, both ends of the sliding plate 21 extend symmetrically outward from the frame 1 with extension plates 211. A through slot 23 is formed on the extension plates 211. When the vertical distance between two adjacent sliding plates 21 is zero, the vertical distance between their extension plates 211 is greater than the thickness of the push plate 31. That is, even when two adjacent sliding plates 21 are not placed together and are overlapping, the push plate 31 can still rotate between their extension plates 211.

[0017] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top ends of the two push rods 3 are rotatably connected to a horizontal plate 4, which is moved vertically.

[0018] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a worm gear 41 is rotatably mounted on the horizontal plate 4. The worm gear 41 is driven to rotate by a first motor. The axis of the worm gear 41 is aligned with the length direction of the frame 1. The threads at both ends of the worm gear 41 have opposite directions of rotation. Two worm wheels 42 are meshed at each end of the worm gear 41, and the worm wheels 42 are coaxially mounted on the top of the push rod 3. The rotation of the worm gear 41 drives the rotation of the two worm wheels 42, thereby realizing the rotation of the two push rods 3 in opposite directions.

[0019] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the horizontal plate 4 is threaded through a vertically arranged screw rod 5, which is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and driven to rotate by a second motor. To improve the moving stability of the horizontal plate 4, more specifically, the horizontal plate 4 is also slidably threaded through a vertically arranged guide rod.

[0020] In application, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
