Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage technology for automotive reinforcement plates, specifically to a storage rack for automotive reinforcement plates. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive reinforcement plates are metal or composite material components installed in the body and chassis structure of automobiles. They play a crucial role in modern automotive engineering, primarily to cope with complex driving loads and collision risks. Automotive reinforcement plates typically exist in sheet metal form. They are not independent load-bearing main structural components, but are installed in stress concentration areas or critical force transmission paths of the main structural components through welding, bolting, or riveting, thereby providing additional support and reinforcement. This enhances the local structural strength and stiffness of the main structural components and optimizes their mechanical properties, ultimately significantly improving the overall safety, stability, and durability of the vehicle body. Automotive reinforcement plates can be categorized according to their installation location: body frame reinforcement plates strengthen the body skeleton and improve overall rigidity; door reinforcement plates focus on enhancing the deformation resistance of the door area; floor reinforcement plates protect the chassis from road vibrations and impacts; and engine compartment reinforcement plates stabilize engine components and ensure reliable power transmission. These classifications ensure optimized performance and long service life of the vehicle under various operating conditions.
[0003] During the installation of automotive reinforcement plates, various types of reinforcement plates, such as body frame reinforcement plates and door reinforcement plates, must be placed one by one on storage racks according to a pre-set installation sequence. This is to allow installers to easily retrieve the appropriate type of reinforcement plate from the racks as needed for the next installation step. However, to improve installation efficiency and ensure continuous installation, multiple different types of reinforcement plates are pre-placed on the racks. After all reinforcement plates on these racks have been installed, the racks containing multiple reinforcement plates need to be replaced with empty racks to ensure continuous installation. However, in practice, empty racks are difficult to fold and retract, requiring significant storage and handling space. Combined with limited aisle space in the workshop, making it difficult to replace racks in a single operation, the process becomes cumbersome and inconvenient. Furthermore, during bracket replacement and transfer, automotive reinforcement plates inevitably slip, leading to damage and impacting installation efficiency, while increasing installation time and costs. Therefore, there is a need to improve the storage rack for automotive reinforcement plates, making it easier to fold and retract. A storage rack that facilitates easy folding and retraction is urgently required to limit the placement of the automotive reinforcement plates, thereby significantly improving installation efficiency and ensuring a smooth installation process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a storage rack for automotive reinforcing plates that is easy to fold and retract, facilitating the placement and positioning of the placed automotive reinforcing plates, thereby overcoming the deficiencies in existing technologies.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a storage rack for automotive reinforcement plates, comprising two L-shaped brackets, with two support plates disposed between the two brackets. The two support plates are hinged together at their middle portions, and their bottom ends are respectively hinged to the two brackets. A fixing plate is disposed on the top of the support plate and is mounted on the bracket. The fixing plate has a fixing groove, and a screw is fitted into the fixing groove. A handle is threaded onto one side of the screw, and a roller is disposed on the other side of the screw. The roller is mounted on one end of the screw and contacts the fixing plate. Both sides of the support plate contact the fixing plate and the handle, respectively. The top end is fitted onto a screw. Several support rods are provided on the side of the fixing plate away from the handle. The support rods are all located above the horizontal frame of the bracket, and one end of each support rod is hinged to the vertical frame of the bracket. An adjustment assembly is provided between the support rods and the rollers. The adjustment assembly includes a fixing rod, a fixing block provided above the fixing rod, a vertical rod hinged to one side of the fixing rod, and a roller shaft rotatably mounted on the vertical rod. The middle part of the fixing rod is hinged to the vertical frame of the bracket, the fixing block is installed on the vertical frame of the bracket, the bottom end of the fixing block and the bottom of the roller are in contact with the other side of the fixing rod, and the top end of the roller shaft is in contact with the support rod.

One end of the first bolt is in contact with the vertical frame of the bracket. A first threaded hole is provided on the side of the fixing rod away from the vertical rod. The first bolt is threaded into the first threaded hole. A first handle is provided on the first bolt. The first handle is installed on the other end of the first bolt and is located outside the fixing plate.
[0008] Preferably, each of the two supports has a U-shaped vertical frame above its horizontal frame. The middle of the vertical frame is mounted on the horizontal frame of the support. The extension direction of the vertical frame is perpendicular to the extension direction of the horizontal frame of the support. A shelf is mounted on the top of the vertical frame.
[0009] Preferably, a fixed frame is fitted inside the longitudinal frame, and the external cross-sectional shape of the fixed frame matches the internal cross-sectional shape of the longitudinal frame. A second threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal frame, and a second bolt is threaded into the second threaded hole. The top of the second bolt contacts the fixed frame.

Furthermore, the fixing blocks, fixing rods, vertical rods, and rollers provide support for the support rods hinged to the brackets, keeping them horizontal and facilitating the placement of automotive reinforcement plates to meet installation requirements. Furthermore, through the linkage design of the rollers, as the distance between the two brackets increases, the top of the support plate moves downward, driving the rollers to move downward, thereby pressing down on the side of the fixed rod away from the vertical rod, causing the side of the fixed rod close to the vertical rod to tilt upward, thereby driving the vertical rod and the roller axis to move upward, and then pulling the support rod upward to create an inclined placement environment for the car reinforcement plate, so that the car reinforcement plate placed on the support rod is tightly attached to the limiting bracket, effectively avoiding the risk of the car reinforcement plate slipping off the bracket.
[0012] Secondly, this invention uses a set of blocks to constrain the roller, preventing it from rotating during movement, thus allowing the roller to press against the fixing rod and ensuring its stability.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a storage rack for automotive reinforcement plates includes two L-shaped brackets 1. Each bracket 1 includes a horizontal frame and a vertical frame, with one end of the horizontal frame connected to the bottom end of the vertical frame. The rack is characterized by having two support plates 2 positioned between the two brackets 1, hinged at their midpoints, and their bottom ends respectively hinged to the two brackets 1. A fixing plate 3 is provided on the top of each support plate 2, mounted on the bracket 1. A fixing groove 4 is provided on the fixing plate 3, and a screw 5 is fitted into the fixing groove 4. A handle 6 is threaded onto one side of the screw 5, and a roller 7 is provided on the other side of the screw 5. The roller 7 is mounted on one end of the screw 5 and contacts the fixing plate 3. The roller 7 includes an n-shaped frame and... A wheel is rotatably mounted inside the frame, which contacts the fixed plate 3. The edge of the wheel protrudes from the frame and contacts the fixed rod 9. The two sides of the support plate 2 contact the fixed plate 3 and the handle 6 respectively. The top of the support plate 2 is fitted onto the screw 5, and a support hole is provided at the top of the support plate 2. The screw 5 is fitted into this support hole, and the diameter of the support hole matches the diameter of the screw 5. The two support plates 2 constrain the two supports 1, and the height of the fixing groove 4 constrains the adjustment distance between the two supports 1. By turning the handle 6, the support plate 2 can be clamped and fixed onto the supports 1, thus securing the two supports 1 and facilitating folding or unfolding of this utility model. The fixed plate 3 is far... Several support rods 8 are provided on one side of the handle 6. These support rods 8 are all located above the horizontal frame of the bracket 1. They are also evenly spaced in the upper middle part of the vertical frame of the bracket 1. One end of each support rod 8 is hinged to the vertical frame of the bracket 1. An adjustment assembly is provided between the support rods 8 and the rollers 7. This assembly includes a fixed rod 9, a fixed block 10 above the fixed rod 9, a vertical rod 11 hinged to one side of the fixed rod 9, and a roller 12 rotatably mounted on the vertical rod 11. The middle part of the fixed rod 9 is hinged to the vertical frame of the bracket 1. The fixed block 10 is mounted on the vertical frame of the bracket 1. The bottom end of the fixed block 10 and the bottom of the roller 7 are in contact with the other side of the fixed rod 9. The top end of the roller 12 is connected to the support rod 7. The support rods 8 are in contact with each other, and the number of rollers 12 matches the number of support rods 8. Multiple rollers 12 are in contact with the bottom of several support rods 8 respectively. The rotation of the fixed rod 9 is constrained by the fixed block 10, so that the fixed rod 9 supports the vertical rod 11 and the support rod 8, keeping the support rod 8 in a horizontal state so that the automotive reinforcement plate can be placed using the support rod 8. In addition, as the distance between the two brackets 1 increases, the top of the support plate 2 moves downward, driving the roller 7 to move downward, thereby pressing down on the other side of the fixed rod 9, causing one side of the fixed rod 9 to tilt upward, so as to drive the vertical rod 11 and rollers 12 to move upward, thereby driving the support rod 8 to tilt upward, so as to create an inclined placement environment for the automotive reinforcement plate.
[0021] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 3 is installed vertically on the vertical frame of the bracket 1, and the fixing groove 4 is opened from the top of the fixing plate 3 to the bottom of the fixing plate 3 to limit the range of movement of the top of the support plate 2; a block 13 is fitted on the screw 5, the block 13 is installed on the roller 7, the block 13 is located in the fixing groove 4, and the two sides of the block 13 are in contact with the inner wall of the fixing groove 4 to constrain the roller 7, prevent the roller 7 from rotating, and ensure the stability of the roller 7. The length of the block 13 is not greater than the groove height of the fixing groove 4 to avoid interference with the clamping and fixing of the support plate 2 by the block 13.
[0022] Specifically, the fixing block 10 is located on the side of the roller 7 away from the fixing plate 3. A first bolt 14 is provided below the roller 7. One end of the first bolt 14 is in contact with the vertical frame of the bracket 1. A first threaded hole is provided on the side of the fixing rod 9 away from the vertical rod 11. The first bolt 14 is threaded into the first threaded hole. A first handle 15 is provided on the first bolt 14. The first handle 15 is installed on the other end of the first bolt 14. The first handle 15 is located outside the fixing plate 3 to avoid the fixing plate 3 affecting the rotation of the first handle 15. By rotating the first handle 15, the first bolt 14 is driven to rotate so as to press and fix the fixing rod 9 onto the bracket 1.
[0023] Please refer again to 1, 3 and 5. Above the horizontal frame of the two supports 1, there are respectively a vertical frame 16 with a square structure. The middle part of the vertical frame 16 is installed on the horizontal frame of the support 1. The extension direction of the vertical frame 16 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the horizontal frame of the support 1. A shelf 17 is provided above the vertical frame 16. The shelf 17 is installed on the top of the vertical frame 16 so that items can be placed on the shelf 17.
[0024] Specifically, a fixing frame 18 is fitted inside the longitudinal frame 16. The external cross-sectional shape of the fixing frame 18 matches the internal cross-sectional shape of the longitudinal frame 16. A second threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal frame 16, and a second bolt 19 is threaded into the second threaded hole. The top end of the second bolt 19 contacts the fixing frame 18. The second bolt 19 is located between the two supports 1. A second handle 20 is provided on the second bolt 19 and installed on the bottom end of the second bolt 19. This allows the fixing frame 18 to be clamped and fixed inside the longitudinal frame 16, thereby using the fixing frame 18 to reinforce the connection between the two supports 1 and improve the stability of this utility model.
[0025] In this embodiment, a third handle 21 with an n-shaped structure is provided on the support plate 2 away from the support rod 8. The bottom end of the third handle 21 is installed on the side wall of the support plate 2 away from the support rod 8. Several casters 22 with self-locking function are provided below the bracket 1. The casters 22 are evenly installed on the cross frame of the bracket 1. Thus, by pulling the third handle 21, the present invention can be moved by means of the rolling action of the casters 22.
[0026] The instructions for using this product are as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, firstly, the two supports 1 are pulled to move them in a translational manner, thereby gradually increasing the distance between the two supports 1. During this process, the block 13 is limited by the fixing groove 4, controlling the top of the support plate 2, the screw 5, the handle 6, the roller 7, and the block 13 to move downward along the guide trajectory of the fixing groove 4. This allows the roller 7 to press down on the side of the fixing rod 9 away from the vertical rod 11, causing the side of the fixing rod 9 close to the vertical rod 11 to tilt upward, thereby driving the vertical rod 11 and the roller 12 to move upward, and then pulling the support rod 8 upward to create an inclined placement environment for the automotive reinforcement plate. Next, by turning the first handle 15, the first bolt 14 is rotated to press and fix the fixing rod 9 onto the vertical frame of the support 1. Then, the two sides of the fixing frame 18 are inserted into the longitudinal frames 16 where the two supports 1 are installed. By turning the second handle 20, the second bolt 19 is rotated to press and fix the fixing frame 18 onto the longitudinal frame 16. Then, various types of automotive reinforcement plates, such as the body frame reinforcement plate and the door reinforcement plate, are placed one by one on several fixed rods 9 according to a pre-set installation sequence. By holding the third handle 21 and pushing or pulling, the product is moved to the installation area with the help of the universal wheels 22 for installation. After the installation is completed, the fixed frame 18 is removed from the longitudinal frame 16 by turning the handle 6, the first handle 15, and the second handle 20 in sequence. Then, the two brackets 1 are pulled to move them, so that the distance between the two brackets 1 gradually decreases, so that the brackets 1 can be folded and retracted, thereby facilitating the movement and storage of the unloaded product.
[0027] In this embodiment, the two support plates 2, fixing rods 3, and screws 5 are used to fold and retract the two brackets 1, reducing the space occupied during storage and transportation and facilitating replacement. The handles 6 and rollers 7 clamp and fix the support plates 2 to the brackets 1, ensuring the embodiment remains stably folded or unfolded to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. Furthermore, the fixing blocks 10, fixing rods 9, vertical rods 11, and rollers 12 support the support rods 8 hinged to the brackets 1, keeping them horizontal and allowing the placement of automotive reinforcement plates to meet installation requirements. Furthermore, through the linkage design of the roller 7, as the distance between the two supports 1 increases, the top of the support plate 2 moves downward, driving the roller 7 to move downward, thereby pressing down on the side of the fixed rod 9 away from the vertical rod 11, causing the side of the fixed rod 9 close to the vertical rod 11 to tilt upward, thereby driving the vertical rod 11 and the roller 12 to move upward, and then pulling the support rod 8 upward to create an inclined placement environment for the car reinforcement plate, so that the car reinforcement plate placed on the support rod 8 is in close contact with the limiting bracket 1, effectively avoiding the risk of the car reinforcement plate slipping off the bracket 1.
[0028] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
