Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aerospace blade manufacturing technology, and in particular to a wind tunnel blade transfer and storage rack. Background Technology
[0002] Wind tunnel blades are key components of wind tunnel testing equipment and an important part of the aerospace equipment industry. They are typically installed inside wind tunnels to simulate and control airflow conditions (such as speed, direction, and turbulence). By adjusting their angle or shape, they alter the airflow path to ensure a stable and uniform airflow environment in the experimental area (such as for aircraft or car models). This allows for precise testing of an object's aerodynamic performance, wind pressure resistance, or thermodynamic properties. Wind tunnel blades are widely used in research and development in aerospace, automotive, and building wind resistance industries.
[0003] However, traditional wind tunnel blade storage methods often require a large space, resulting in cluttered storage areas and hindering efficient utilization. Wind tunnel blades are prone to collisions during storage and movement, causing scratches, deformation, and other damage, affecting the reliability of subsequent experiments. The lack of a systematic storage rack design makes the classification and retrieval of wind tunnel blades difficult, increasing retrieval time and reducing work efficiency. Improper storage, such as stacking heavy objects, can easily lead to accidents and affect personnel safety. Therefore, we propose a wind tunnel blade transfer and storage rack. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wind tunnel blade transfer and storage rack. It features an adjustable lifting rod to accommodate blades of different heights and a clamping assembly to secure the blades from the bottom, preventing them from swaying. Furthermore, the vertically placed blades save more space.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a wind tunnel blade transfer and storage rack includes a base, a support rod fixedly connected to the base, a fence provided on the base, a cantilever fixedly connected to the support rod, an adjusting rod provided between the support rod and the cantilever for adjusting the height of the cantilever, a lifting rod provided on the cantilever for suspending blade components, a clamping assembly provided on the base for limiting the position of the blade components, and casters provided at the lower end of the base.
[0006] Optionally, the fence is provided along the edge of the base, the fence is fixedly connected to the support rod, the base is provided with a reinforcing rib, the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the fence, one end of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the support rod.
[0007] Optionally, one end of the adjusting rod is bolted to the support rod, and the other end of the adjusting rod is bolted to the cantilever. There are multiple adjusting rods.
[0008] Optionally, one end of the lifting rod is fixedly connected to the cantilever, and the other end of the lifting rod is threadedly connected to a connector, which is fixedly connected to the blade.
[0009] Optionally, there are multiple lifting rods, which are evenly distributed. The number of clamping components corresponds to the number of lifting rods, and the clamping components are vertically arranged with respect to the lifting rods.
[0010] Optionally, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the base, and the clamping assembly includes a mounting seat, which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The mounting seat is provided with a gripper, and a rubber pad is provided on the gripper, which contacts the blade.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Through the coordinated design of the lifting rod and the clamping components, the height of the blade suspension is adjustable and the blade is securely clamped. The threaded adjustment mechanism of the lifting rod allows for precise control of the blade position, while the evenly distributed clamping components ensure balanced force and prevent blade offset or swaying. The linkage structure ensures the overall rigidity of the suspension system and can flexibly adapt to the installation requirements of blades of different specifications.
[0012] 2. The overall layout of this application optimizes space utilization and maintenance convenience. The modular structure allows each blade to be adjusted and maintained independently without interference, reducing the complexity of use. At the same time, the application of flexible materials such as rubber pads effectively protects the blade surface and extends its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 The wind tunnel blade transfer and storage rack shown includes a base 1, a support rod 11 fixedly connected to the base 1, a fence 12 provided on the base 1, a cantilever 2 fixedly connected to the support rod 11, an adjusting rod 21 provided between the support rod 11 and the cantilever 2, the adjusting rod 21 being used to adjust the height of the cantilever 2, a lifting rod 3 provided on the cantilever 2, the lifting rod 3 being used to suspend the blade 4, a clamping assembly 5 provided on the base 1, the clamping assembly 5 being used to limit the position of the blade 4, and casters provided at the lower end of the base 1.
[0020] Furthermore, in the embodiments provided in this application, the space utilization and operational safety are improved by suspending the blade component 4 on the storage rack. The combination of the support rod 11 and the height-adjustable cantilever 2 realizes the utilization of vertical space. With the suspension function of the lifting rod 3, it can adapt to blades of different heights, effectively avoiding the problem of excessive floor space caused by flat stacking.
[0021] Furthermore, the limiting function of the clamping component 5 can prevent the blades from shaking and colliding during movement. Its elastic contact surface can fix the blades while avoiding surface scratches. The caster mechanism allows the entire storage rack to move flexibly, solving the risks of manual lifting during traditional handling.
[0022] The lifting rod 3 works in concert with the clamping assembly 5 to ensure that the clamping assembly 5 can always clamp the blade 4 for blades of different heights, thereby preventing the blade 4 from shaking during transportation. The rigid frame structure eliminates the risk of deformation caused by stacking and storage, and all blades are kept in an independent suspension state, which not only ensures the accuracy of experimental data, but also eliminates the risk of heavy objects tipping over.
[0023] Specifically, the fence 12 is set along the edge of the base 1, the fence 12 is fixedly connected to the support rod 11, the base 1 is provided with a reinforcing rib 13, the reinforcing rib 13 is fixedly connected to the fence 12, one end of the reinforcing rib 13 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 13 is fixedly connected to the support rod 11. One end of the adjusting rod 21 is bolted to the support rod 11, and the other end of the adjusting rod 21 is bolted to the cantilever 2. There are multiple adjusting rods 21.
[0024] Furthermore, the fence 12 is set along the edge of the base 1 to form a closed protection, which effectively prevents the blade from accidentally slipping off during movement or storage. The reinforcing rib 13 adopts a multi-directional connection method to form a stable triangular support structure between the base 1, the fence 12 and the support rod 11, which greatly enhances the rigidity of the frame and avoids the risk of deformation caused by uneven load or external force. The fixed connection between the fence 12 and the support rod 11 further optimizes the force transmission path, so that the weight of the suspended blade is evenly distributed to the base 1, ensuring stability during movement.
[0025] Specifically, one end of the lifting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the cantilever 2, and the other end of the lifting rod 3 is threadedly connected to the connector 31. The connector 31 is fixedly connected to the blade 4. There are multiple lifting rods 3, which are evenly distributed. The number of clamping components 5 corresponds to the number of lifting rods 3, and the clamping components 5 are vertically arranged with the lifting rods 3.
[0026] Furthermore, the lifting rod 3 is fixed to the blade via the threaded connector 31. Then, the connection between the connector 31 and the blade 4 can be rotated to adapt to the clamping angle of the clamping assembly 5. The height can be finely adjusted according to the installation requirements of different blades to ensure suspension stability. The design of multiple lifting rods 3 evenly distributed makes the force more balanced and avoids structural deformation caused by local stress concentration. The clamping assembly 5 and the lifting rod 3 are arranged vertically to each other to form a double fixing mechanism, which can not only prevent the blade from swinging, but also adapt to the clamping requirements of blades of different sizes. The threaded connection method facilitates quick disassembly and assembly, improves the blade replacement efficiency, and ensures the reliability of the connection.
[0027] Specifically, a mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the clamping assembly 5 includes a mounting base 51, which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14. A gripper 52 is provided on the mounting base 51, and a rubber pad 53 is provided on the gripper 52. The rubber pad 53 contacts the blade 4.
[0028] Furthermore, the rigid connection between the mounting plate 14 and the base 1 ensures the overall stability of the clamping mechanism, while the rotational engagement between the mounting base 51 and the clamping jaws provides an adaptive clamping function, compatible with blades of different thicknesses and shapes. The rubber pad 53 increases the coefficient of friction to prevent blade slippage and avoids surface damage caused by hard contact through elastic cushioning. This flexible contact method effectively absorbs the impact energy during external vibration or movement while ensuring clamping force.
[0029] This wind tunnel blade transfer and storage rack uses high-strength materials and a patented support structure to effectively prevent blade deformation and damage. Compared with existing technologies, it significantly improves the storage safety of blades and extends their service life. First, the modular and adjustable design makes the layout of the storage rack in the laboratory more flexible, significantly improving space utilization and allowing more blades to be stored in a limited space to meet different experimental needs. Secondly, the lifting rod 3 makes the process of picking up and placing the blades more convenient, reduces the number of operation steps, improves work efficiency, and shortens the experimental preparation time compared with existing technologies. Furthermore, by using lightweight materials and optimizing structural design, the amount of materials used is reduced, which lowers production costs and environmental burden compared to traditional storage racks, thus meeting the requirements of sustainable development. In addition, advanced manufacturing processes ensure high-precision machining of each component, making the storage rack more stable during use, reducing blade position deviations caused by structural defects, and improving the reliability of experimental data.
[0030] Finally, the design incorporates environmentally friendly materials to reduce pollution during production and use, meeting modern environmental standards and promoting the sustainable development of the laboratory. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
