Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of sheet metal processing, and in particular to a modular assembly structure for a sheet metal frame. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as industrial control, communication equipment, automated production lines, and medical devices, sheet metal racks serve as the core carrier for equipment installation. They need to provide stable support and protective space for internal components such as controllers, drivers, and cables, while also meeting the size adaptation requirements of different scenarios.

[0003] With the accelerated pace of equipment upgrades and the growth in customization demands, the industry has raised three core technical requirements for sheet metal racks: First, flexibility and adaptability, requiring compatibility with the installation needs of equipment of different sizes, supporting rapid adjustments to rack width, height, and depth to avoid the need for complete rack replacement due to changes in equipment specifications; second, efficient assembly, requiring simplified assembly processes, reduced reliance on tools, shorter setup time, and adaptability to rapid on-site deployment and mass production; and third, convenient maintenance and expandability, requiring the ability to disassemble and replace equipment mounting plates and functional components, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire rack when adding new equipment or performing repairs, while also supporting the on-demand addition or removal of functional modules such as cabling and heat dissipation.

[0004] As my country's manufacturing industry transforms towards "intelligent and flexible" manufacturing, the technical defects of traditional sheet metal frames have become a key bottleneck restricting production efficiency and equipment adaptability. This is especially true in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises and multi-variety production lines, where the increased costs and efficiency losses caused by cumbersome assembly and poor adaptability are more prominent, necessitating targeted technical improvements.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] This application discloses a modular assembly structure for a sheet metal frame. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3 A modular assembly structure for a sheet metal frame, comprising an equipment mounting plate 5 and multiple uprights 1;

[0023] Multiple columns 1 are made of steel profiles and are used for supporting and installing the overall device;

[0024] Two movable slots 3 are opened on the side walls of multiple columns 1. Movable blocks 13 are slidably arranged inside the multiple movable slots 3. A horizontal plate 4 is fixedly connected between the two corresponding movable blocks 13. The multiple horizontal plates 4 can surround to form an opening-shaped space. The equipment mounting plate 5 is arranged between the multiple horizontal plates 4. Multiple fixing blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the equipment mounting plate 5. The upper surface of the multiple horizontal plates 4 is provided with fixing slots 16 that slide with the fixing blocks 6. Fixing bolts 8 are threaded through the side wall of the horizontal plates 4. Fixing screw holes 15 that cooperate with the fixing bolts 8 are opened on one side of the fixing blocks 6.

[0025] Multiple positioning holes 2 are evenly provided on both sides of the multiple columns 1 along the length direction. Two of the positioning holes 2 of the column 1 are threaded with mounting bolts 7. One side of the movable block 13 is provided with mounting screw holes 14 that cooperate with the mounting bolts 7.

[0026] Multiple columns 1 are fixedly connected to their bottom ends with threaded support rods 9. Each threaded support rod 9 has a support platform 10 at its bottom end. The bottom end of the threaded support rod 9 is screwed into the support platform 10. A level 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the equipment mounting plate 5. Multiple annular mounting grooves 12 are evenly formed on the upper surface of the equipment mounting plate 5.

[0027] The implementation principle of the modular assembly structure of a sheet metal frame in this application embodiment is as follows: During use, based on the height and width requirements of the equipment to be installed, the column 1 is first placed stably on the ground via the threaded support rod 9 at the bottom and the support platform 10. The support platform 10 is rotated, and the extension length of the threaded support rod 9 is adjusted using the threaded engagement to initially level the column 1. Then, the height of the horizontal plate 4 is adjusted: the movable block 13 is slid along the movable groove 3 on the side wall of the column 1 to the target height, aligning the mounting screw holes 14 of the movable block 13 with the corresponding positioning holes 2 on the column 1. The mounting bolt 7 is then passed through the positioning holes 2 and screwed into the mounting screw holes 14 to lock the positions of the movable block 13 and the horizontal plate 4. Since the positioning holes 2 are evenly distributed along the length of the column 1, precise adjustment of the height of the horizontal plate 4 can be achieved. Simultaneously, by selecting different spacing combinations of columns 1 and horizontal plates 4, different frame width requirements can be accommodated without replacing the columns 1 or horizontal plates 4. Place the equipment mounting plate 5 within the "open-shaped space" formed by multiple horizontal plates 4, aligning the fixing blocks 6 on the sidewalls of the equipment mounting plate 5 with the fixing grooves 16 on the upper surface of the horizontal plates 4. Slide the equipment mounting plate 5 along the fixing grooves 16 until the fixing blocks 6 are fully embedded in the grooves. The engagement between the fixing grooves 16 and the fixing blocks 6 restricts the lateral displacement of the equipment mounting plate 5, achieving initial positioning. Then, screw in the fixing bolts 8 on the sidewalls of the horizontal plates 4, screwing the bolt ends into the fixing screw holes 15 of the fixing blocks 6. The equipment mounting plate 5 is firmly fixed to the horizontal plates 4 through threaded engagement, ensuring stable equipment installation. If multiple equipment mounting plates 5 need to be installed, the above steps can be repeated on horizontal plates 4 at different heights to form a multi-layer installation structure. After installation, the levelness is calibrated using the level 11 on the upper surface of the equipment mounting plate 5. Observe the position of the bubble in the level 11. If the bubble is off-center, rotate the support platform 10 of the corresponding column 1 and adjust the height of the threaded support rod 9 until the bubble in the level 11 is centered. This ensures that the equipment mounting plate 5 is level and prevents a decrease in equipment operating accuracy due to frame tilt. Then, external equipment (such as controllers and drivers) is fixed using the annular mounting slot 12 on the equipment mounting plate 5. The annular mounting slot 12 is designed to accommodate different sizes of equipment mounting holes, eliminating the need for additional drilling on the mounting plate. Equipment can be fixed directly with bolts, accommodating the installation needs of various equipment specifications. If equipment needs to be replaced or repaired, simply unscrew the fixing bolts 8 on the horizontal plate 4 and pull out the equipment mounting plate 5 along the fixing slot 16 to remove the equipment. This eliminates the need to disassemble the entire frame, shortening maintenance time. If the rack functionality needs to be expanded later (such as increasing the number of equipment layers), a new movable block 13 and a horizontal plate 4 can be added. The height adjustment and fixing steps can be repeated to build a new installation layer on the original column 1. If the equipment size changes, the height of the horizontal plate 4 can be adjusted or a horizontal plate of a different length can be replaced to adapt to the new equipment without replacing the entire rack.

[0028] During this process, the height of the horizontal plate 4 can be flexibly adjusted within a certain range through the cooperation of the positioning hole 2 and the movable block 13. The combination of the column 1 and the horizontal plate 4 can adapt to different width requirements, with multiple specifications to be adapted, reducing equipment upgrade costs. The modular assembly process does not require welding or complex tools, enabling rapid assembly and improving production efficiency. At the same time, the overall structure is relatively simple and very convenient to use, improving the practicality of the device.
