Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold storage technology, specifically to a template placement rack. Background Technology
[0002] The daily storage and retrieval of molds (especially thin steel sheet molds used in the textile industry) is one of the key aspects of the production process that needs to be optimized. Currently, these thin sheet molds are mostly stored in stacked or simple shelving systems. Due to the thinness and large number of molds, stacking them can easily cause deformation and surface scratches due to mutual compression, affecting not only the accuracy and lifespan of the molds but also increasing subsequent maintenance costs. Traditional simple shelving systems often lack targeted partitioning structures, resulting in a messy arrangement of molds within the system. Retrieving them requires searching one by one, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, the obstruction of adjacent molds can cause jamming and scratches, reducing production efficiency and increasing safety hazards. In addition, existing storage structures usually do not consider the compatibility of different mold sizes, making it difficult to flexibly adjust storage space according to the size and quantity of molds. This results in low space utilization of the shelving and an inability to meet diverse production storage needs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a template placement rack. Through a double-layer array structure of multiple placement plates and multiple placement slots, templates can be partitioned and stored independently. Each template is inserted into its corresponding placement slot, which solves the problems of squeezing deformation and surface scratches caused by traditional stacking storage, ensuring the accuracy and service life of the templates and reducing maintenance costs.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A template placement rack includes a rack body with placement plates connected to its upper surface. Multiple sets of placement plates are evenly arranged along the length of the rack body, and each set of placement plates has multiple placement slots for placing templates at equal intervals along the height direction.
[0005] In this solution, the template placement rack uses multiple placement plates evenly arrayed along the length of the rack body, and multiple placement slots evenly spaced along the height of each placement plate. This achieves independent partitioning of thin-sheet templates, effectively avoiding the problems of template deformation and surface scratches caused by traditional stacking storage. This ensures the precision and service life of the templates and reduces subsequent maintenance costs. At the same time, the orderly array layout allows the molds to be arranged in an orderly manner, and operators can quickly locate and retrieve the target template without having to search through them one by one. This avoids jamming and scratching caused by adjacent molds during the retrieval process, which simplifies the operation steps, saves time, improves production flow efficiency, and reduces operational safety hazards. Furthermore, the design of multiple placement plates and placement slots can flexibly allocate storage space according to the size and quantity of templates of different specifications, significantly improving the space utilization of the rack and adapting to diverse production and storage needs.
[0006] As a further solution for the template placement rack, the bottom of the rack body is equipped with a counterweight base, which can effectively lower the center of gravity of the entire rack, enhance the stability of the rack when storing multiple sets of templates, and prevent the rack from tipping over due to uneven weight distribution of templates or external impact during retrieval operations, thus ensuring the safety of template storage. In addition, the lower surface of the counterweight base is connected to lockable casters, which can flexibly adapt to different production flow scenarios.
[0007] As a further embodiment of the template placement rack, all the placement plates are connected to the side of the connecting plate, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate is connected to the upper surface of the counterweight base. The connecting plate can form a unified force transmission structure, making the installation of multiple sets of placement plates more stable, avoiding loosening or displacement after long-term support of the template, and ensuring the stability of template storage.
[0008] As a further embodiment of the template placement rack, the number of placement boards is 2-8 sets, and the spacing between two adjacent sets of placement boards is 15-40cm, which can maximize the use of the horizontal space of the rack and improve the space utilization rate.
[0009] As a further embodiment of the template placement rack, the bottom of the placement groove is arc-shaped, and the groove wall is provided with an elastic protective layer. The elasticity of the groove can buffer the contact force between the template and the groove wall, effectively preventing surface scratches caused by scraping or collision between thin templates (especially thin steel sheet templates in the textile industry) and the groove wall during storage or retrieval.
[0010] As a further solution to the template placement rack, in order to further avoid surface scratches caused by the template rubbing or colliding with the tank wall during storage or retrieval, the placement plate is made of plastic.
[0011] As a further solution for the template placement rack, it includes multiple placement rack bodies, which are fixed together by connecting components. This not only allows the multiple placement rack bodies to form a stable whole through the connecting components, improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the combined rack, but also maximizes the use of the workshop's horizontal and vertical space through reasonable planning of the combination method, further improving the overall space utilization rate.
[0012] As a further embodiment of the template placement rack, the connecting component includes a limiting block and a limiting groove respectively disposed on both sides of the counterweight base; The limiting block is a T-shaped block arranged along the width direction of the placement rack body, and the limiting groove is a groove opened along the width direction of the placement rack body to match the limiting block. This snap-fit connection component can be assembled and disassembled without the need for additional tools, making the operation convenient and efficient. It is easy to flexibly adjust the combination quantity or change the rack layout according to production needs, further enhancing the modular adaptability of the placement rack.
[0013] As a further embodiment of the template placement rack, the upper surface of the counterweight base is provided with an annular groove, which surrounds the placement plate. The annular groove is also fitted with a dust cover for covering the placement plate, which effectively prevents dust, debris and other impurities from adhering to the template surface and avoids impurities from affecting the template accuracy or causing surface wear.
[0014] As a further embodiment of the template placement rack, the dust cover is made of transparent material, and the outer side wall of the dust cover is provided with a handle for easy opening and closing.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: 1. This utility model achieves independent partitioned storage of templates by uniformly arranging multiple sets of placement plates along the length direction and opening placement slots at equal intervals along the height direction in each set of placement plates. This avoids the problems of templates being squeezed and deformed and surface scratches caused by traditional stacking storage. Combined with the arc-shaped structure at the bottom of the placement slot and the elastic protective layer on the slot wall, it further reduces hard contact and scratch damage during template handling, effectively ensuring the accuracy and surface integrity of thin-sheet templates (especially thin steel sheet templates in the textile industry) and reducing subsequent maintenance costs. 2. This utility model sets up multiple placement rack bodies and fixes adjacent placement rack bodies through connecting components. It can flexibly combine to form a multi-unit integrated storage structure according to the total storage volume of templates in the production scenario and the layout of workshop space. This integrated storage structure can adapt to the storage needs of different scales of production. It can flexibly cope with the decentralized storage of small batch templates to the centralized storage of large-scale production. Moreover, the combined racks maintain a regular storage layout, which does not affect the independent partition storage and quick access of templates. It can also maximize the use of the horizontal and vertical space of the workshop through reasonable planning and combination, further improving the overall space utilization rate. In addition, the setting of connecting components also makes it easy to adjust the combination quantity or disassemble the racks according to production needs, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the placement racks and reducing the investment cost when expanding equipment or changing the scenario.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Example 1
[0019] This embodiment 1 provides a template placement rack, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a placement rack body 3, which includes a counterweight base 2 and a placement plate 5. The counterweight base 2 is made of high-density cast iron and is integrally formed into a rectangular plate structure. The upper end of the counterweight base 2 is connected to the placement plate 5. The placement plate 5 is evenly arranged in multiple groups along the length direction of the counterweight base 2. Each group of placement plates 5 has multiple placement slots 6 for placing templates 7 at equal intervals along the height direction. Four sets of lockable casters 1 are symmetrically installed on the lower surface of the counterweight base 2.
[0020] In this configuration, the side end faces of all the placement plates 5 are connected to the side end faces of the connecting plate 4, while the bottom side face of the connecting plate 4 is connected to the upper surface of the counterweight base 2. This allows the placement plates 5 and the connecting plate 4 to form a unified force transmission structure, which evenly transmits the load of multiple sets of placement plates 5 to the counterweight base 2. At the same time, the installation positions of multiple sets of placement plates 5 can be uniformly calibrated to ensure the regularity of the array of placement plates 5 along the length direction of the placement frame body 3.
[0021] In this embodiment, the placement plate 5 is injection molded from high-strength engineering plastic. Two to eight groups of placement plates 5 are evenly arranged along the length of the counterweight base 2, with a spacing of 15-40cm between adjacent groups. The specific number and spacing can be adjusted according to the size of the template 7 and storage requirements. The placement plates 5 are connected to the side of the connecting plate 4, and after installation, the placement plates 5 remain perpendicular to the counterweight base 2. Placement slots 6 are evenly spaced along the height of each group of placement plates 5, with 5-20 groups. The spacing between adjacent groups of placement slots 6 is 3-10cm. The slot width matches the thickness of the template 7 (0.5-1mm larger than the template thickness), and the slot depth is 8-12cm. The bottom of the placement slot 6 features a rounded transition design without sharp edges. The slot wall is coated with a 1-2mm thick elastic protective layer (such as silicone) through a secondary injection molding process, and the surface of the protective layer is polished to a smooth structure. Example 2
[0022] To suit large-scale template storage scenarios or scenarios requiring a clean storage environment, this embodiment 2 provides another template placement rack based on the technical solution of embodiment 1, such as... Figures 4-7 As shown, this embodiment includes multiple placement rack bodies 3, which are fixed together by connecting components to form a stable whole.
[0023] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting components include a limiting block 9 and a limiting groove 10, which are integrally formed on both sides of the counterweight base 2. The limiting block 9 is a T-shaped block set along the width direction of the placement rack body 3, and its length is consistent with the width of the counterweight base 2. The limiting groove 10 is a groove opened along the width direction of the placement rack body 3, and the groove shape is perfectly matched with the T-shaped structure of the limiting block 9. When splicing, the limiting block 9 of one placement rack is inserted into the limiting groove 10 of the adjacent placement rack. The snap-fit of the T-shaped structure can prevent the adjacent racks from separating vertically or horizontally, ensuring the regularity and stability of the rack after assembly. Assembly and disassembly can be completed without additional tools, which makes it easy to adjust the combination quantity according to the total storage volume, adapt to the diverse storage needs from small batches to large batches, and improve the utilization rate of workshop space.
[0024] Meanwhile, an annular groove 8 surrounding the placement plate 5 is also provided on the upper surface of the counterweight base 2. The annular groove 8 is a closed rectangular ring. A dust cover 11 for covering the placement plate 5 is also fitted on the annular groove 8. The dust cover 11 is made of transparent polycarbonate (PC) material and is molded in one piece to effectively block dust, debris and other impurities from adhering to the template surface, so as to avoid impurities affecting the template accuracy or causing surface wear.
[0025] A handle 12 is also connected to the top of the dust cover 11. The handle 12 is made of ABS plastic injection molding and has a U-shaped structure. It is fixed to the outer wall of the dust cover 11 by bolts. The surface is provided with anti-slip texture. The height of the handle 12 is ergonomically adapted for easy gripping and force application.
[0026] In use, first unlock the lockable casters 1 on the lower surface of the counterweight base 2, push the template placement rack to the required production position, and then lock the casters 1 to fix the rack position. If it is necessary to expand the storage capacity, multiple placement rack bodies can be quickly assembled into an integrated storage structure by engaging the T-shaped limit blocks 9 on both sides of the counterweight base 2 with the matching limit slots 10. Then, hold the handle on the outer wall of the dust cover 11 to open the transparent dust cover 11. According to the specifications of the templates and the storage plan, insert the sheet templates 7 one by one into the corresponding placement slots 6 on the placement plate 5, utilizing the independent partition design of the placement slots 6. The elastic protective layer on the tank wall ensures stable storage of the template without scratching or damage. After the template 7 is stored, the dust cover 11 is closed so that its lower end fits into the annular groove 8 on the upper surface of the counterweight base 2 to achieve dust protection. When taking the template 7, the dust cover 11 is opened again by the handle 12. The target template is quickly located according to the regular array layout of the placement plate 5 and can be directly pulled out from the corresponding placement groove 6 without having to flip other templates 7. After taking it, the dust cover 11 is closed. If the production station is adjusted, the casters can be unlocked to move the placement rack to the new position and relock it, flexibly adapting to different production flow needs.
[0027] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
