Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of engine handling equipment, specifically a four-point support structure. Background Technology

[0002] During storage, transportation and testing, engines need to be stored stably using a dedicated turnover rack. Currently, the industry generally uses a four-point support structure as the core load-bearing frame of the engine turnover rack. This structure is connected to the engine casing through four symmetrically distributed rigid support points, and the four-point support principle effectively suppresses the engine under dynamic operating conditions.

[0003] However, the existing four-point support structure has the following significant drawbacks. Taking the engine rack disclosed in CN103848113B as an example, the engine four-point support structure (engine rack) is fixed by welding as a whole. However, since the engine rack is used as a turnover tool for the engine, it is prone to impact during storage and turnover, which causes local damage to the engine rack. Furthermore, due to the non-removable nature of the engine rack, conventional handling requires scrapping and replacing the entire engine rack, resulting in high maintenance costs. Therefore, this application proposes a four-point support structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above description, this utility model provides a four-point support structure, which solves the technical problems pointed out in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a four-point support structure, comprising: The base includes four sets of side plates, each with a through-hole. The four sets of side plates form an enclosed area, in which a material seat can be detachably installed. A column is provided at the junction of two adjacent sets of side plates. A positioning block is fixed on the side of the column facing the adjacent side plate. Mounting openings are provided on both sides of the side plates. The positioning blocks are adapted to the mounting openings. A slide rail is horizontally fixed on the material seat. The support component includes two sets of slide plates disposed on the outer side of slide rail one, slide rail two fixed on the slide plates, and two sets of support seats disposed on the outer side of each slide rail two.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the material holder is provided with adapter frames around its perimeter. The number of adapter frames is the same as the number of sockets. There are a total of eight sockets and eight adapter frames. The adapter frames and sockets are matched one-to-one.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the skateboard is integrally connected with an extension, which has a sliding cavity that matches the slide rail, allowing the skateboard to slide and connect with the slide rail through the sliding cavity of the extension.

[0009] Furthermore, the four side panels are front, rear, left, and right panels, and the length of the slide plate is equal to the distance between the front and rear panels.

[0010] Furthermore, a positioning plate is fixed on one side of the front plate and the rear plate respectively. A sliding hole is provided on the positioning plate. An installation hole is provided on the sliding plate. A bolt is provided in the installation hole. The threaded part of the bolt passes through the sliding hole. A nut is threadedly connected to the outside of the bolt. The nut is close to and located at the bottom of the positioning plate.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the two opposing sides of the sliding plates is integrally connected to a positioning plate two, and a sliding hole two is provided on the positioning plate two. An extension plate is fixed to the outside of the support base, and a through hole is provided on the extension plate. A bolt two is installed at the through hole, and a nut two is threadedly connected to the outside of the bolt two. The nut two is close to and located at the bottom of the positioning plate two.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes eight reinforcing ribs, which are set at the junction of the side plate and the column. Each reinforcing rib is provided with two bolts, which are used to thread the side plate and the column respectively. In addition, the positioning block is provided with threaded holes, and the bolts that are threaded to the side plate are threaded to the positioning block through the threaded holes.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the column is provided with a tapered section that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the column is provided with a mating interface.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The four-point support structure, with most of the base and support components being assembled structures, facilitates assembly and is not an integrated design. If the four-point support structure, or the engine turnover rack, is damaged in a localized area, only the corresponding part needs to be replaced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the engine turnover rack.

[0015] 2. This four-point support structure can adjust the lateral and longitudinal positions of the support base to accommodate engines of different specifications and sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The attached diagram lists the components represented by each number as follows: 1. Base; 11. Side plate; 12. Insertion port; 13. Material holder; 14. Adapter frame; 15. Positioning block; 16.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] In the prior art, four-point support is commonly used for engine turnover due to its good stability. The four-point support structure is actually an engine turnover rack. However, as an engine turnover rack is used for engine turnover, it is prone to impacts during storage and turnover, which can cause local damage to the engine turnover rack. Furthermore, due to the non-removable nature of the engine turnover rack, conventional handling requires scrapping and replacing the entire engine turnover rack, resulting in high maintenance costs. Therefore, this application proposes a four-point support structure.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a four-point support structure in this embodiment is actually an engine material rack. This four-point support structure includes a base 1, which includes four sets of side plates 11. Each side plate 11 has a through-hole 12, and the four sets of side plates 11 form an enclosed area. A material holder 13 is detachably installed within this enclosed area. Specifically, the material holder 13 is surrounded by adapter frames 14. The number of adapter frames 14 is the same as the number of through-holes 12. There are eight through-holes in total, meaning there are also eight adapter frames 14. The frame 14 and the socket 12 are matched one by one. Thus, the four side plates 11 can be conveniently and detachably installed around the material seat 13 through the positioning provided by the socket 12. In addition, a column 17 is provided at the junction of two sets of adjacent side plates 11. A positioning block 15 is fixed on the side of the column 17 facing the adjacent side plate 11. It should also be noted that the side plates 11 have mounting holes 16 on both sides. The positioning block 15 is matched with the mounting hole 16. Thus, the four side plates 11, the four columns 17 and the material seat 13 form this base 1.

[0021] To achieve four-point support, the four-point support structure also includes a support component 2, which is set on the base 1. A slide rail 18 is horizontally fixed on the material seat 13. When viewed from the left, the slide rail 18 has an inverted convex cross-section and there are two sets of slide rails 18. The support component 2 includes a sliding plate 21 that is slidably connected between the outer sides of the two sets of slide rails 18. There are two sets of sliding plates 21, which are symmetrically distributed from left to right. A slide rail 23 is fixed on the sliding plate 21. Two sets of support seats 24 are slidably connected to the outer side of each slide rail 23, that is, there are four sets of support seats 24 in total, which are used to achieve four-point support.

[0022] To further explain, firstly, an extension is integrally connected to the bottom of the skateboard 21. The extension has a sliding cavity that is adapted to the slide rail 18, allowing the skateboard 21 to slide and connect with the slide rail 18 through the sliding cavity of the extension. In this way, the distance between the two sets of skateboards 21 can be adjusted.

[0023] To facilitate the differentiation of the side plates 11, the four side plates 11 are designated as front, rear, left, and right plates. The length of the slide plate 21 when viewed from the left is equal to the distance between the front and rear plates of the four side plates 11. A positioning plate is fixed on the opposite side of the front and rear plates. A sliding hole is provided on the positioning plate, and a mounting hole is provided on the slide plate 21. A bolt 22 is installed in the mounting hole. The threaded part of the bolt 22 passes through the sliding hole, and a nut is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bolt 22. The nut is close to and located at the bottom of the positioning plate. Thus, after the lateral position of the slide plate 21 is adjusted, the threaded engagement of the bolt 22 and the nut can be used to form a clamping and limiting force on the slide plate 21 to restrict its sliding.

[0024] Furthermore, each of the two sliding plates 21 has an integrally connected positioning plate 25 on its opposite side. The positioning plate 25 has a sliding hole 2. An extension plate 26 is fixed to the outside of the support base 24. The extension plate 26 has a through hole, and a bolt 27 is installed at the through hole. A nut 28 is threadedly connected to the outside of the bolt 27. The nut 28 is close to and located at the bottom of the positioning plate 25. Thus, after the position of the support base 24 on the slide rail 23 is adjusted, the threaded connection of the bolt 27 and the nut 28 forms a clamping and limiting force on the extension plate 26 to restrict the sliding of the extension plate 26. Since the extension plate 26 and the support base 24 are integrally connected, the sliding of the support base 24 is restricted.

[0025] In the above design, most of the components in the base 1 and support component 2 are assembled structures, which are convenient to assemble and are not integrated designs. If the four support structures or the engine turnover frame are damaged locally, only the corresponding parts need to be replaced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the engine turnover frame.

[0026] Under normal conditions, nut one is tightly attached to and located at the bottom of positioning plate one. The threaded engagement of bolt one 22 and nut one forms a clamping and limiting force on slide plate 21 to restrict the sliding of slide plate 21, thereby controlling the lateral position of support base 24. Under normal conditions, nut two 28 is tightly attached to and located at the bottom of positioning plate two 25. The threaded connection of bolt two 27 and nut two 28 forms a clamping and limiting force on extension plate 26 to restrict the sliding of extension plate 26, thereby restricting the sliding of support base 24.

[0027] The above design allows for adjustment of the lateral and longitudinal positions of the support base 24 to accommodate engines of different specifications. Specifically, by tightening or loosening bolt 22 and nut 28, the lateral position of the slide plate 21 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the lateral position of the support base 24. The longitudinal position of the support base 24 can also be adjusted. Finally, bolt 22 and nut 28 can be reset and tightened. This allows for the adaptation to engines of different sizes and specifications.

[0028] For reinforcement, the four-point support structure also includes eight reinforcing ribs 3. The reinforcing ribs 3 are set at the junction of the side plate 11 and the column 17. Each reinforcing rib 3 is provided with two bolts 3. The two bolts 3 are used to threadedly connect to the side plate 11 and the column 17 respectively. In addition, the positioning block 15 is provided with threaded holes. The bolts 3 that are threadedly connected to the side plate 11 are threadedly connected to the positioning block 15 through the threaded holes. In this way, the reinforcement between the side plate 11 and the column 17 is completed.

[0029] In addition, the bottom of the column 17 is provided with a tapered part that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The column 17 has a mating interface that fits the tapered part. Thus, as... Figure 4 As shown, multiple four-point support structures can be stacked.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
