Abstract

In this article the engineering design and strength analyses of a storage mechanism are presented. The handling device is intended to be placed in a warehouse and it will serve as a storage mechanism for longer metallurgical material in a railway vehicle manufacturing company. Stored material will be used for creation of some parts of railway wagons. It will allow to storage material in several levels in shelves. To meet requirements for manual control of the pull-out mechanism it will be necessary to design a pull-out mechanism with the sufficiently large transmission ratio in order to handle a shelf block weighing up to given load. Consequently, there are conducted the numeric strength analysis of steel construction which has to safely carry the total load of ten shelves.

Highlights

  • Storage cannot be separated from material flows in all spheres of economy

  • Thats why it is necessary to provide with optimal conditions for storage and handling and at the same time it is simple to solve the technology of handled items offtake. Such piles of rod material are to be stocked in shelves and we recommend to seize them by means of a grab bucket

  • The railway vehicles manufacturing company has to stock metallurgical material – rod material with the length of 5 meters intended for creation some particular parts of wagons, so for this reason it will be necessary to design the storage mechanism, in our case we call it the rack system with regard to customers requirements (Fig. 1)

Summary

Introduction

Storage cannot be separated from material flows in all spheres of economy. The need for storage of material of all kinds arises due to the different pace of production and consumption, the different flow in all levels of a logistic chain. Thats why it is necessary to provide with optimal conditions for storage and handling and at the same time it is simple to solve the technology of handled items offtake. Such piles of rod material are to be stocked in shelves (or racks) and we recommend to seize them by means of a grab bucket. Using this way of handling we do not need to bind material and in terms of controlling it is very suitable. The railway vehicles manufacturing company has to stock metallurgical material – rod material with the length of 5 meters intended for creation some particular parts of wagons, so for this reason it will be necessary to design the storage mechanism, in our case we call it the rack system with regard to customers requirements (Fig. 1)
