[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in combination with the embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile partition, including a main track 1, a partition body 2, a sliding member 3, and a conveying system; wherein the conveying system includes a motor 4, a pulley 5, a transmission belt 6, a unit track 7, a propulsion unit, and a guide device; the transmission belt 6 is wound around at least two pulleys 5, and the motor 4 is in transmission connection with one of the pulleys 5, so that the motor 4 drives the transmission belt 6 for transmission; the unit track 7 is arranged parallel to the transmission belt 6, the propulsion unit is arranged and slidably connected to the unit track 7, and the propulsion unit is in transmission connection with the transmission belt 6; the partition body 2 is slidably connected to the main track 1 through at least two sliding members 3, and the transmission belt 6 of the conveying system is extended along the main track 1; the end of the propulsion unit acts on the sliding member 3 to push the partition body 2 to slide along the main track 1;

[0045] The propulsion unit is composed of a connecting member 8, a push post 9 and a spring (not shown); the connecting member 8 is slidably connected to the unit track 7 and is transmission-connected to the transmission belt 6; the push post 9 is movably connected to the connecting member 8, and a spring is provided between the push post 9 and the connecting member 8 to elastically extend the push post 9. When the push post 9 is in the extended state, its end acts on the sliding member 3 to push the partition body 2 to slide along the main track 1;

[0046] The guide device is arranged along the main track 1 and is directly opposite to the propulsion unit. The guide device consists of a guide bar 12 and an electromagnetic push rod 11. The guide bar 12 is transmission-connected with the electromagnetic push rod 11, so that the electromagnetic push rod 11 pushes the guide bar 12 to act on the push column 9 to change its telescopic state.

[0047] The partition body 2 is the smallest unit that can move as a whole. The partition body 2 can slide freely on the main track 1 along with the sliding member 3, thereby moving to any position on the path of the main track 1. In the present invention, the partition body 2 is a driven solution, which does not need to be powered and does not have any self-contained driving structure. The driving structure is completely integrated by the conveying system. Therefore, the partition body 2 is not limited to structural solutions such as metal plates and glass plates, and its specific structure is not limited here.

[0048] The working principle of the present invention is that the motor 4 rotates to drive the pulley 5 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission belt 6 to run, and then the propulsion unit continues to slide along the extension direction of the main track 1. As long as the end of the propulsion unit contacts the sliding member 3, it can generate thrust to it, pushing the partition body 2 to slide.

[0049] Simply implementing the above principle is too simple, and the propulsion unit needs to have a "grabbing" function: when "grabbing" the sliding member 3, it pushes the corresponding partition body 2; when not "grabbing" the sliding member 3, the propulsion unit will avoid the sliding member 3 to keep the corresponding partition body 2 in a static state. This function is achieved through the cooperation of the propulsion unit and the guide device.

[0050] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 More specifically, in the present embodiment, preferably, the tail of the push column 9 is hinged to the connecting member 8, and a spring is provided between the push column 9 and the connecting member 8 to enable the push column 9 to elastically swing out; the guide bar 12 is directly opposite to the middle of the push column 9, and the electromagnetic push rod 11 pushes the guide bar 12 to act on the middle of the push column 9 to cause it to swing and contract under pressure.

[0051] The push column 9 is extended under the action of the spring, and in this state it can "grab" each sliding component 3 on the running path during the sliding process; when the guiding device is working, the electromagnetic push rod 11 pushes the guide bar 12 to extend, which will force the push column 9 passing through the guide bar 12 to be pushed and swung to a retracted state. The position of the push column 9 in the retracted state is staggered with the sliding component 3. Even if it continues to slide, it will "avoid" the sliding component 3 at the corresponding position, and will not produce a pushing effect on the corresponding partition body 2.

[0052] Thus, even if multiple partition bodies 2 are arranged on the same main track 1 and controlled by the same conveying system, they can flexibly achieve two states of movement and stillness without affecting each other. That is, when the guide device is extended, the propulsion unit at the corresponding position of the path will be "ineffective" and will not produce a propulsion effect on the sliding member 3.

[0053] For example, when a partition body 2 located at the front needs to be moved, only the guide device at the corresponding position and on the movement path is retracted, so that the push column 9 can be extended accordingly to push the partition body 2 forward. In the remaining positions behind the movement path, all the guide devices are in the extended state, so the partition body 2 located at the rear will not be pushed by the push column 9 and will remain stationary.

[0054] See Figure 3 As a further preferred embodiment, the two ends of the guide strip 12 are provided with inclined planes for guiding. As long as the guide device is in the extended state, the push column 9 of the sliding propulsion unit will first pass the inclined plane and gradually swing under the guiding effect of the inclined plane.

[0055] As a further preference, the propulsion unit also includes a guide wheel 10, which is opposite to the guide bar 12 and is rotatably installed on the push column 9. The guide bar 12 acts on the surface of the guide wheel 10, thereby increasing the stability of the push column 9 when passing through the guide bar 12, reducing friction and noise, and improving service life.

[0056] See also Figure 7 The layout of the main track 1 is not limited to one direction. In response to the layout requirements of the partition, preferably, the main track 1 includes a longitudinal rail 14 extending longitudinally and a transverse rail 13 extending transversely; the longitudinal rail 14 and the transverse rail 13 are cross-connected; independent conveying systems are respectively extended along the longitudinal rail 14 and the transverse rail 13; and the conveying system is staggered at the cross-connection of the longitudinal rail 14 and the transverse rail 13.

[0057] The intersecting longitudinal rails 14 and transverse rails 13 can meet the needs of movement and layout of the partition body 2 in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. The selection of the movement path at the intersection can also be achieved through the cooperation of the above-mentioned propulsion unit and the guide device. Independent conveying systems need to be laid on different longitudinal rails 14 and transverse rails 13 to meet the needs of path selection, movement and turning of the partition body 2, etc.

[0058] Since the track of the transmission belt 6 has arc parts at both ends in the conveying system, the arc parts will protrude from the longitudinal rail 14 or the transverse rail 13. In order to meet the operation requirements of the partition body 2, the conveying system at the intersection of the longitudinal rail 14 and the transverse rail 13 needs to be staggered, and the staggered solution is not limited to horizontal staggered or vertical staggered layout.

[0059] See also Figure 8In order to solve the problem of the partition body 2 turning at the intersection, each partition body 2 slides through two sliding members 3. When the two sliding members 3 slide on the longitudinal rail 14 and the transverse rail 13 respectively, the two sliding members 3 are driven by two sets of conveying systems respectively, and the partition body 2 realizes the turning movement. It should be noted that in order to ensure smooth movement during the turning process, the running speeds of the sliding members 3 on the longitudinal rail 14 and the transverse rail 13 may be different, which can be achieved through the intelligent control of the motors 4 on the two conveying systems.

[0060] Furthermore, induction switches (not shown) for identifying the moving position of the partition body 2 are arranged along the main track 1 to cooperate with the work of the guiding device to achieve movement control of a specific partition body 2 or movement path selection.

[0061] When the partition bodies 2 are moved into place, they will be arranged to form a complete partition. Preferably, a joint end is provided on one side of the partition body 2, and a mating end that matches the joint end is provided on the other side, and a sealing strip is provided between the joint end and the mating end. When the partition bodies 2 are arranged together, the mating ends of adjacent partition bodies 2 are joined together with the joint ends, and a sealing connection is achieved through the sealing strip, which is conducive to the airtight arrangement of the partition bodies 2 and also conducive to sound insulation.

[0062] See also Fig. 9 Preferably, the main track 1 is connected with a storage track 15; the storage track 15 extends horizontally and perpendicularly to the main track 1, and the storage track 15 is arranged corresponding to the sliding member 3, so that the partition body 2 is connected to the storage track 15 through the sliding member 3; a conveying system is provided opposite to the storage track 15.

[0063] The working principle of the storage track 15 is completely the same as that of the main track 1. The partition body 2 is sent to the storage track 15 or sent from the storage track 15 to the main track 1 through the corresponding conveying system. The storage track 15 is only used to store the partition body 2 and allow the storage body to be stacked and stored. Among them, the structure of the conveying system is exactly the same as that of the conveying system arranged on the main track 1, which will not be described here.

[0064] Embodiment 2

[0065] The only difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is the structure of the propulsion unit and the working mode of the guiding device matched therewith.

[0066] See also Figures 4 to 6 Specifically, as a preference, the tail of the push column 9 is slidably inserted into the connecting piece 8, and a spring is provided between the push column 9 and the connecting piece 8 to allow the push column 9 to elastically slide out; the guide bar 12 is opposite to the push column 9, and the electromagnetic push rod 11 pushes the guide bar 12 to act on the push column 9 to cause it to slide and retract under pressure.

[0067] Different from the first embodiment, the push column 9 in this embodiment adopts a sliding telescopic structure. Under normal conditions, it is in an extended state due to the elastic force of the spring, and can produce a "grabbing" effect on the sliding member 3, pushing the sliding member 3 forward. Correspondingly, the pushing of the guide device is to push the push column 9 in the corresponding area to shrink. That is, when the electromagnetic push rod 11 is powered on, the guide bar 12 slides and acts on the push column 9, pushing the push column 9 in the corresponding area to overcome the spring elastic force and shrink inward. At this time, the push column 9 cannot act on the sliding member 3, and will not produce a "grabbing" effect.

[0068] The rest of the technical solutions of this embodiment are exactly the same as those of the first embodiment, such as the cross-connected longitudinal rails 14, transverse rails 13, the structure of the partition body 2, etc., which can all inherit the solutions of the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0069] The present invention provides a mobile partition that can freely move and arrange the partition body 2 along the path extended and covered by the main track 1 through the driving action of the conveying system, forming an overall partition to change the partition layout of the space. The conveying system is integrated at the top of the partition for easy maintenance. At the same time, the conveying system is scientifically designed, and the propulsion unit and the guide device cooperate to realize the movement of a specific partition body 2, and also to realize the locking and placement of a specific partition body 2. The connection arrangement of the partition body 2 is fully considered, and the two sides of the partition body 2 can be sealed and joined, which is beneficial to sound insulation while shielding.

[0070] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
