Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of support frame technology, specifically relating to a track support structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural planting, especially in seedling and vegetable cultivation, rail-based transportation systems are widely used due to their ability to automate operations and improve production efficiency. The track support structure, as a key component, directly affects the stability, reliability, and ease of installation and maintenance of the entire system.

[0003] Currently, there are various track support structures on the market. Some traditional support structures require site conditions to be measured first during installation to determine the installation positions of the track and track support structure. Then, the track support structure is installed in the predetermined position, and the track is installed on the track support structure. If errors are found after the track installation is completed, the track and track support structure need to be dismantled and remeasured, repositioned, and reinstalled.

[0004] In summary, traditional support structures require precise site conditions and complex measurement and calibration work during installation. The installation process is cumbersome and consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and time, making installation quite difficult. Utility Model Content

[0021] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a seedling raising system includes a transverse track 3, a longitudinal track 4, a seedling tray 5, a logistics robot 6, and a lane-changing robot 7 set on a seedling raising site 1. A boundary 2 is set around the seedling raising site 1.

[0024] The seedling nursery is divided into multiple seedling zones arranged along the X-axis. The long side of each seedling zone is set along the Y-axis. The multiple seedling zones are named sequentially from left to right as Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, ..., Zone N.

[0025] There are several seedling trays 5, and each seedling tray 5 is fixedly connected to any one of the seedling sections.

[0026] There are multiple longitudinal tracks 4, which are arranged side by side. The long side of the multiple longitudinal tracks 4 is set along the Y-axis, so that the multiple longitudinal tracks 4 are fixedly connected to multiple seedling sections. The multiple longitudinal tracks 4 are named in order from left to right as first longitudinal track, second longitudinal track, third longitudinal track, ..., Nth longitudinal track.

[0027] There is at least one logistics robot 6. The logistics robot 6 is installed on the longitudinal track 4 and can move on the longitudinal track 4. The logistics robot 6 can carry the seedling tray 5 and move the seedling tray 5 to complete the transportation of the seedling tray 5.

[0028] Specifically, the seedling tray 5 has protruding pillars on its side, and the logistics robot 6 is equipped with a lifting device with hooks. When the hooks hook onto the protruding pillars, the lifting device is activated to lift the seedling tray 5. When the seedling tray 5 is raised, it can be moved by the logistics robot 6. After the logistics robot 6 has moved, the lifting device can be activated to lower the seedling tray 5 and place it in the set position.

[0029] The transverse track 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the seedling site 1 at one end of multiple longitudinal tracks 4. The long side of the transverse track 3 is set along the X-axis. The lane-changing robot 7 is installed on the upper side of the transverse track 3. The logistics robot 6 can move onto the lane-changing robot 7. At this time, the lane-changing robot 7 drives the logistics robot 6 to move to a position opposite to another longitudinal track 4. Then, the logistics robot 6 on the lane-changing robot 7 moves onto the longitudinal track 4, thus completing the lane change of the logistics robot 6.

[0030] Specifically, when the logistics robot 6 moves the seedling tray 5 along different longitudinal tracks 4, assuming the logistics robot 6 is in the first longitudinal track and needs to move to the fourth longitudinal track, when the logistics robot 6 moves to a position close to the transverse track 3 on the first longitudinal track, the lane-changing robot 7 arrives at the first longitudinal track. Then, the logistics robot 6 moves above the lane-changing robot 7, and the lane-changing robot 7 moves the logistics robot 6 to the fourth longitudinal track. The logistics robot 6 leaves the lane-changing robot 7 and enters the fourth longitudinal track, thus completing the lane change of the logistics robot 6. Then, the logistics robot 6 moves the seedling tray 5 on the logistics robot 6 to the set position. In this way, the movement of the seedling tray 5 can be completed by replacing manual labor with automated equipment, which greatly reduces labor costs.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a track support structure can be applied to the seedling system in Embodiment 1. The track support structure includes a chassis that can be fixedly connected to the upper side of the seedling site 1. An adaptive bracket is installed on the chassis, and a U-shaped mounting bracket 20 is installed on the adaptive bracket. The longitudinal track 4 can be placed inside the U-shaped mounting bracket 20 for fixation. A locking screw 21 can be threadedly connected to the side of the U-shaped mounting bracket 20. By rotating the locking screw 21, the locking screw 21 and the longitudinal track 4 are abutted, thereby locking the longitudinal track 4 inside the U-shaped mounting bracket 20 and improving the fixation stability.

[0033] It should be noted that the adaptive bracket includes a locked state and an unlocked state. When the adaptive bracket is in the unlocked state, the longitudinal track 4 installed inside the U-shaped mounting bracket 20 can move together with the U-shaped mounting bracket 20 when it moves. When installing and docking two adjacent longitudinal tracks 4, the position and tilt angle of the longitudinal tracks 4 can be adjusted more freely to complete the docking of the two longitudinal tracks 4. Then the adaptive bracket is locked, so that the adaptive bracket enters the locked state and fixes the U-shaped mounting bracket 20, thereby fixing the longitudinal track 4 inside the U-shaped mounting bracket 20.

[0034] Therefore, in this embodiment, the track support structure can be first fixedly connected to the seedling site 1, and the longitudinal track 4 can be fixed on the U-shaped mounting bracket 20 to complete the installation of the longitudinal track 4 and the chassis. Then, the position and angle of the longitudinal track 4 can be adjusted according to the site conditions. By fixing first and then calibrating and adjusting, the installation and calibration of the longitudinal track 4 can be completed relatively simply.

[0035] like Figures 2-4As shown, the adaptive bracket includes a slider 13 that is slidably connected to the chassis. A locking screw 14 is threaded onto the slider 13. When the locking screw 14 abuts against the chassis, the position of the slider 13 can be locked.

[0036] A sphere 17 is mounted on the slider 13. A ball seat 18 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the sphere 17. The ball seat 18 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the U-shaped mounting bracket 20. A locking screw 19 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the ball seat 18. When the locking screw 19 abuts against the sphere 17, the ball seat 18 can be locked.

[0037] Meanwhile, the outer surface of the sphere 17 can be provided with several grooves that are adapted to the end of the locking screw 19. By inserting the end of the locking screw 19 into the groove, the locking performance of the locking screw 19 on the sphere 17 can be improved.

[0038] When installing the longitudinal track 4, the horizontal movement of the longitudinal track 4 can be accommodated by the horizontal sliding of the slider 13, and the tilt of the longitudinal track 4 can be accommodated by the rotation of the ball seat 18.

[0039] The sphere 17 can be directly fixed to the upper side of the slider 13, or it can be... Figures 3-4 As shown, the sphere 17 is mounted on the upper side of the slider 13 via a lifting telescopic rod. Compared to the sphere 17 directly fixed to the upper side of the slider 13, the lifting telescopic rod can drive the sphere 17 to move up and down, better adapting to the angle adjustment of the longitudinal track 4.

[0040] It should be noted that the ball seat 18 has a spherical cavity with an opening on the lower side, and the opening diameter of the spherical cavity is smaller than the maximum diameter of the spherical cavity. The sphere 17 is directly rotatably connected to the inside of the spherical cavity, so that the ball seat 18 can rotate in multiple directions outside the sphere 17.

[0041] Meanwhile, magnets can be embedded in the inner wall of the spherical cavity. The sphere 17 is made of iron. Through the magnetic force between the magnet and the sphere 17, the U-shaped mounting bracket 20 can be initially positioned, so that the U-shaped mounting bracket 20 can be kept vertically set, making it convenient for the longitudinal track 4 to be directly placed into the interior of the U-shaped mounting bracket 20.

[0042] The telescopic boom can be either a sliding type or a threaded type. In this technical solution, to ensure the telescopic boom has good load-bearing capacity, a threaded type is preferred. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 4 As shown, the lifting telescopic rod includes a threaded sleeve 15 rotatably connected to the slider 13. The threaded sleeve 15 has a threaded rod 16 connected to its interior thread. The sphere 17 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded rod 16. At this time, by rotating the threaded sleeve 15, the threaded rod 16 can be driven to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the height of the U-shaped mounting bracket 20.

[0043] The chassis includes a base plate 8, with a slider 13 slidably connected to the upper side of the base plate 8. When the locking screw 14 abuts against the base plate 8, the position of the slider 13 can be locked. Both ends of the base plate 8 are fixedly connected to reinforcing plates 9, forming an H-shaped structure with the base plate 8 and the reinforcing plates 9, which improves the placement stability of the chassis. Both ends of the two reinforcing plates 9 are rotatably connected to rotating rods 10, with a pointed cone 11 fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 10. By inserting the pointed cone 11 into the seedling nursery 1, the chassis can be fixed. The outer side of the pointed cone 11 is fixedly connected to a spiral plate 12. At this time, rotating the rotating rod 10 can easily screw the pointed cone 11 into the seedling nursery 1 using the spiral plate 12. The spiral plate 12 also improves the connection stability between the pointed cone 11 and the seedling nursery 1.

[0044] Meanwhile, the track support structure in this embodiment can also be used to fix the transverse track 3 and support the transverse track 3.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
