Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a placement rack, and more particularly to an adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack, belonging to the field of aluminum strip processing and production technology. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum coil is a metal product, a basic semi-finished product in the aluminum processing industry. It refers to a coiled material formed by continuously rolling or casting aluminum and aluminum alloys into a strip, which is then wound onto a cylindrical core. Aluminum strip coil is a precision subcategory of aluminum coil, specifically referring to extremely thin aluminum coils with a thickness ≤0.2mm (some high-end products can reach 0.005mm). After aluminum strip coils are produced in the factory, using storage racks is a comprehensive consideration of safety, quality, efficiency, and cost. This prevents the aluminum strip coils from directly contacting the ground, thus avoiding contamination and structural damage.

[0003] However, existing aluminum strip coil placement racks have certain structural defects in practical use, affecting their safety, efficiency, and adaptability. For example, fixed-spaced support arms cannot accommodate aluminum strip coils of different widths; if a curved support radius is used for fixing, small-diameter aluminum strip coils will be unstable, causing them to fall and be damaged. Moreover, if the support base is too narrow or lacks an anti-tipping structure, it is prone to tipping over in the event of a forklift collision. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack to improve the placement stability of aluminum strip coils. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide an adjustable aluminum strip roll storage rack.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: an adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack, including a base and side plates fixed perpendicularly to each other, characterized in that: it also includes multiple "U-shaped" receiving plates, which are distributed in an array above the base by multiple support columns. One end of each support column is fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding receiving plate, and the other end passes through the side plate and is fastened to the side plate by fasteners located on the other side of the side plate, so that each support column is positioned with the side plate; in addition, multiple RFID tag scanners are configured for scanning the RFID tags of the aluminum strip coils placed on each receiving plate and identifying and acquiring tag data. Each RFID tag scanner corresponds one-to-one with the receiving plate, and each RFID tag scanner is located on the side of its corresponding receiving plate; each receiving plate has a baffle at its other end, and each baffle is rotatably connected to the receiving plate through an adjustment mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, in the aforementioned adjustable aluminum strip roll placement rack, the RFID tag scanner is fixed to the side of the receiving rack plate by bolts. The RFID tag scanner is connected to a processing unit via a data cable. The processing unit (configured to: issue a start scanning command to the scanning device; receive a data packet from the scanning device containing the aluminum strip roll tag ID and Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). For example, an industrial control computer) is communicatively connected to the RFID tag scanner and configured to receive the tag data and generate a location number corresponding to each aluminum strip roll based on predefined rules. The RFID tag scanner is a commercially available fixed RFID reader / writer. Other commercially available fixed RFID readers / writers can be used, such as the Impinj Speedway series, Zebra FX series, etc. Their working principles and basic structures are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, for example, the Impinj R700 model reader / writer or a device with equivalent functionality. This reader / writer includes a reader / writer main unit and an antenna array. It operates in the UHF band (860-960MHz), conforms to the ISO 18000-6C standard, and can read multiple tags simultaneously and quickly.

[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack, the baffle includes a plate and a through hole thereon.

[0008] Furthermore, in the aforementioned adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack, the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting groove and a rotating shaft located at the bottom of the baffle for accommodating the baffle. The rotating shaft is adapted to be inserted into the through hole of the baffle so that the baffle is connected to the baffle by the rotation of the rotating shaft. The rotation of the rotating shaft is driven by a driving unit.

[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack: the driving unit includes a worm gear, a worm, and a motor; the output shaft of the motor is connected to the worm; the worm and the worm gear mesh with each other; the worm gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, for transmitting the power of the motor to the rotating shaft, thereby driving the baffle to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack, a detachable reinforcing rib is provided between the support column and the side plate. One end of the reinforcing rib is installed on the lower side of the support column, and the other end is connected to the side plate to enhance the stability of the connection between the receiving frame plate and the side plate.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack, a recycling trough is provided on the base, and a soft pad with cushioning and protective functions is laid inside the recycling trough.

[0012] By adopting the technical solution of this utility model, when it is necessary to adjust the array distribution of the receiving racks according to operational requirements, this can be achieved through support columns. After adjustment, fasteners are used to lock the rack in place, and reinforcing ribs provide additional support to ensure the overall structural stability of the placement rack. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the receiving racks, the distance between the receiving racks and the side plates can be adjusted by the retractable support columns to accommodate the aluminum strip coils as needed. During operation, the drive unit (worm gear, worm, and motor) is activated, transmitting power to the rotating shaft through meshing transmission, thereby driving the baffle to rotate around the adjustment mechanism. The baffle can be controlled to be in an upright or flat state, preventing the aluminum strip coils from falling off the side during rolling. Simultaneously, the RFID tag scanner integrated on the side of the receiving racks continuously operates, automatically identifying and collecting the tag information of the aluminum strip coils on the receiving racks.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model achieves diversified functions and is suitable for the stable placement of aluminum strip rolls of different sizes; the use of baffles can significantly reduce the risk of rolling during handling and improve safety; moreover, the use of RFID tag scanners for identification and registration avoids reliance on manual recording of inventory locations, facilitates real-time monitoring of the roll storage status, and improves utilization efficiency.

[0025] Preferably, in the above structure: a detachable reinforcing rib 9 is provided between the support column 3 and the side plate 2; one end of the reinforcing rib 9 is installed on the lower side of the support column 3, and the other end is connected to the side plate 2, so as to enhance the stability of the connection between the supporting frame plate 5 and the side plate 2.

[0026] Preferably, in the above structure: the RFID tag scanner 6 is fixed to the side of the receiving frame plate 5 by bolts, the RFID tag scanner 6 is connected to a processing unit via a data cable, the processing unit is communicatively connected to the RFID tag scanner 6, and is configured to receive the tag data and generate a position number corresponding to each aluminum strip roll 12 based on the data according to predefined rules.

[0027] The RFID tag scanner 6 is a commercially available fixed RFID reader / writer, and other commercially available fixed RFID readers / writers can be used, such as the Impinj Speedway series, Zebra FX series, etc. Specifically, for example, the Impinj R700 model reader / writer or a device with equivalent functionality. This reader / writer includes a reader / writer main unit and an antenna array, operating in the UHF band (860-960MHz), conforming to the ISO 18000-6C standard, and capable of simultaneously and quickly reading multiple tags. Its working principle and basic structure are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here. The processing unit can be combined with conventional equipment in the industry, such as an industrial control computer, and is configured to: issue a start scanning command to the scanning device, receive tag IDs from the aluminum strip roll 12 of the scanning device, and receive data packets of signal strength indication (RSSI), etc.

[0028] Preferably, such as Figure 7 As shown, in the above structure: the baffle 7 includes a plate 71 and a through hole 72 thereon; the adjustment mechanism 8 includes a connecting groove 81 and a rotating shaft 82 opened at the bottom of the baffle 7 for receiving, the rotating shaft 82 is adapted to be inserted into the through hole 72 of the baffle 7 so as to realize the rotation of the baffle 7 through the rotating shaft 82, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 82 is driven by a driving part.

[0029] Specifically, in the structure of the adjustable aluminum strip coil placement rack described above, the driving unit includes a worm gear 83, a worm 84, and a motor 85; the output shaft of the motor 85 is connected to the worm 84 to drive its rotation; the worm 84 and the worm gear 83 mesh with each other to form a worm gear mechanism; the worm gear 83 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 82 to transmit the power of the motor 85 to the rotating shaft 82, thereby driving the baffle 7 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 82, thereby adjusting the angle of the baffle 7 to prevent the aluminum strip coil 12 from rolling, which helps to improve the handling stability of the aluminum strip coil 12.

[0030] The key technical aspect of this invention lies in its multi-layered adjustable support structure, combined with an anti-fall baffle and an RFID tag scanner for identification and registration. Figures 1-6 The key features showcased are the relevant components and specific structure of the shelf involved in this case. Figure 7The specific configuration scheme of baffle 7 and adjustment mechanism 8 is given. For components such as fastener 4, reinforcing rib 9, recycling trough 10 and soft pad 11, those skilled in the art can make conventional settings according to existing technology. There are no special requirements for their model selection and combination.

[0031] Thus, by adopting the technical solution of this utility model, when it is necessary to adjust the array distribution of the receiving rack 5 according to operational requirements, this can be achieved through the support column 3. After adjustment, it is locked by the fastener 4, and additional support is provided by the reinforcing rib 9 to ensure the overall structural stability of the placement rack. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of the receiving rack 5, the distance between the receiving rack 5 and the side plate 2 can be adjusted by the telescopic support column 3 to place the aluminum strip roll 12 as required (the placed aluminum strip roll 12 can be bound by the strap 13 to further stabilize the aluminum strip roll 12). During operation, the drive unit (worm gear 83, worm 84, and motor 85) is activated, and power is transmitted to the rotating shaft 82 through meshing transmission, thereby driving the baffle 7 to rotate around the adjustment mechanism. The baffle 7 can be controlled to be in an upright or flat state, which prevents the aluminum strip roll 12 from falling from the side during rolling. At the same time, the RFID tag scanner 6 integrated on the side of the receiving rack 5 works continuously to automatically identify and collect the tag information of the aluminum strip roll 12 on the receiving rack 5. In addition, if the aluminum strip roll 12 (e.g., a shorter aluminum strip roll 12 distributed on each receiving plate 5) falls accidentally during its rolling process, the recycling trough 10 located below the array of receiving plates 5 can catch it, and the soft pad 11 in the recycling trough 10 can effectively prevent the aluminum strip roll 12 from being damaged by impact.

[0032] As can be seen from the above description, compared with the prior art, the adoption of the present invention achieves diversified functions and is suitable for the stable placement of aluminum strip rolls of different sizes layer by layer; the use of baffles can greatly reduce the risk of rolling during the handling process and improve operational safety; moreover, the use of RFID tag scanners for intelligent identification and registration avoids reliance on manual recording of inventory locations, facilitates real-time monitoring of the storage status of aluminum strip rolls, reduces the error rate, and improves utilization efficiency.

[0033] The technical solution, working process and implementation effect of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be noted that the described example is only a typical example of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
