Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mountain rail transport system, belonging to the field of agricultural mountain transport. Background Technology

[0002] The mountainous area has more sunlight, which is better for planting fruit trees and other food crops. In the past, when delivering seeds and fertilizers to the mountains or transporting harvested agricultural products from the mountains to the bottom, it was mostly done by manpower, which was tiring and inefficient. Later, in order to save manpower, some places adopted railcars to transport agricultural products, seeds and fertilizers in the mountains.

[0003] To develop the mountain forests and promote agricultural economic development, fruit farmers have planted a large number of fruit trees in the mountains. The fruit trees grow well in the sunny hills, but transporting the ripe fruit out of the forests is difficult. Due to the numerous slopes, uneven roads, and abundant vegetation and fruit trees, ordinary mountain transport vehicles cannot navigate the terrain. The traditional method is manual transport, requiring a large number of laborers to carry the fruit back and forth between the roads and hills. Carrying loads uphill on the mountains is extremely physically demanding, and the steep, uneven roads make manual transport very dangerous, easily leading to falls that endanger lives and damage the fruit. This severely reduces the efficiency of fruit harvesting and transportation, and lowers the quality of the produce. Although current technology has advanced rapidly, and various transportation equipment is readily available, a mountain steel wire rail transport system is a suitable option. However, steel wire rope transportation is mostly straight-line traction or small-arc traction, and there are very few transportation equipment that can adapt to the complex turning and lane-changing transportation required for mountain and slope transportation. Clearing a straight road by manpower will greatly increase the cost and violate the original intention of protecting personnel safety.

[0004] The problem with existing mountain rail vehicles is that they run close to the track and lack a balancing device, making them prone to tilting backward when going uphill, causing contents to spill out. Zip-lined tracks, on the other hand, require external guy wires to move the zipline. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical problem to be solved by this invention is to propose a mountain rail transportation system that keeps the basket under the trolley horizontal during uphill and downhill transportation. This solves the problems of existing technologies. The basket is suspended on a basket connecting rod and can rotate, so that the basket containing fruits and other materials is perpendicular to the ground under the action of gravity. This not only improves transportation efficiency and the mechanization and labor-saving of mountain orchard management, but also prevents fruit from spilling and breaking, bringing convenience to farmers and improving transportation efficiency.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a mountain rail transportation system, including a track 6 and a traction mechanism. The track 6 includes a gear track 61. The traction mechanism includes two opposing structural frames 5, which are connected by a structural frame connecting rod 11. A basket connecting rod 12 is also fixed between the two structural frames 5. A bearing fixing column 51 is provided at the middle of the upper end of the structural frame 5. A bearing 7 is installed on the bearing fixing column 51 and rotates on the gear track 61. A driving device is installed on the outside of the structural frame 5. The driving device is connected to the drive chain wheel 3. The drive chain wheel 3 passes through the chain wheel through hole on the structural frame 5 and meshes with the side of the gear track 61.

[0007] Preferably, there is a gap between the left and right bearings 7.

[0008] Specifically, the drive device includes a geared motor 1 with a sprocket, a transmission chain 2, and a sprocket 10. The geared motor 1 with the sprocket is connected to the sprocket 10 through the transmission chain 2, and the sprocket 10 is connected to the drive chain wheel 3.

[0009] Specifically, the geared motor 1 with sprocket is fixed on the outer wall of the structural frame 5. The upper and lower ends of the drive chain wheel 3 are both provided with T-shaped bases 4 fixed on the outer wall of the structural frame 5. The upper end of the bearing rod of the drive chain wheel 3 is connected to the bearing inside the upper T-shaped base 4, and the lower end passes through the lower T-shaped base 4 and is connected to the bearing rod of the sprocket 10.

[0010] Preferably, each side of the structural frame 5 is also fixed with a driven chain wheel 13 that is not connected to the drive device. The driven chain wheel 13 is arranged side by side with the driving chain wheel 3 and its structure is the same as that of the driving chain wheel 3. Both of them pass through the chain wheel through hole on the structural frame 5 and mesh with the side of the gear track 61.

[0011] Preferably, a power line connection structure 62 and a bare wire cable 63 are sequentially connected below the gear track 61.

[0012] Specifically, the power cable connection structure 62 includes, from top to bottom, a power connection structure screw 621, a power connection structure fixing nut 622, a signal line fixing block 623, a bare cable fixing nut 624, and a bare cable fixing clip 625. The top of the power connection structure screw 621 has a cuboid boss that is locked in a square through hole on the gear track 61. The lower end of the power connection structure screw 621 passes through the central threaded hole of the power connection structure fixing nut 622 and the central through hole of the signal line fixing block 623 in sequence, and then connects to the central threaded hole of the bare cable fixing nut 624. The lower end of the bare cable fixing nut 624 is fixed with a bare cable fixing clip 625. The bare cable 63 passes through the cable fixing hole on the bare cable fixing clip 625. A power contact frame 9 is connected below the bare cable 63.

[0013] Specifically, the power contact frame 9 includes a power contact frame rotating frame 91, a power contact insulating frame 92, a power contact concave wheel fixing frame 93, and a power contact concave wheel 94. The long rods on both sides of one end of the power contact frame rotating frame 91 are rotatably connected to the structural frames 5 on both sides, and the other end is rotatably connected to the middle of the power contact insulating frame 92 through a spring fixing rod 911. The concave wheel fixing frame 93 is fixedly connected above the power contact insulating frame 92. The power contact concave wheel 94 is rotatably connected to the power contact concave wheel fixing frame 93 and contacts the bare wire cable 63. The spring fixing rod 911 is connected to one end of the power spring 8, and the other end of the power spring 8 is connected to the spring fixing post 52 above the structural frame 5.

[0014] Preferably, two power contact concave wheels 94 are provided at intervals.

[0015] Preferably, there are four structural frame connecting rods 11 between the two structural frames 5.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The mountain rail transport system of this invention greatly reduces manpower and significantly improves transport efficiency. It allows multiple traction mechanisms to be used simultaneously on a single track, greatly enhancing work efficiency. This invention only needs to be hung on the suspension frame like a cable, making installation convenient. This invention uses an electric motor for power, making the entire system more convenient and eliminating the need for lubrication and maintenance required by hydraulic machinery. The basket connecting rod 12 also ensures that the basket is perpendicular to the ground, preventing goods inside from spilling. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0027] Example 1: As Figures 1-8 As shown: A mountain rail transport system includes a track 6 and a traction mechanism. The track 6 includes a geared track 61. The traction mechanism includes two opposing structural frames 5, which are welded together by structural frame connecting rods 11 to form a stable structure. The two ends of the basket connecting rod 12 are installed in mounting holes at the bottom of the two structural frames 5. Since the basket will carry a lot of goods, the diameter of the basket connecting rod 12 is relatively thick. A bearing fixing column 51 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the structural frame 5. The bearing 7 is installed on the bearing fixing column 51 and rotates on the geared track 61. The function of the bearing 7 is to travel on the track 6 and support the entire traction mechanism. A drive device is installed on the outside of the structural frame 5. The drive device is connected to the drive chain wheel 3. The drive chain wheel 3 passes through the chain wheel through hole on the structural frame 5 and meshes with the side of the geared track 61.

[0028] Furthermore, there is a gap between the left and right bearings 7.

[0029] Furthermore, the drive device includes a geared motor 1 with a sprocket, a transmission chain 2, and a sprocket 10. The geared motor 1 with the sprocket is connected to the sprocket 10 through the transmission chain 2, and the sprocket 10 is connected to the drive chain wheel 3.

[0030] The entire traction mechanism is a two-sided structure, powered by two geared motors 1 with sprockets on each side of the frame 5, which can balance the mechanism. The power of the geared motors 1 with sprockets is transmitted to the sprockets 10 through the transmission chain 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the geared motor 1 with sprocket is fixed on the outer wall of the structural frame 5. The upper and lower ends of the drive chain wheel 3 are both provided with T-shaped bases 4 fixed on the outer wall of the structural frame 5. The upper end of the bearing rod of the drive chain wheel 3 is connected to the bearing inside the upper T-shaped base 4, and the lower end passes through the lower T-shaped base 4 and is connected to the bearing rod of the sprocket 10.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown: There are four motion structures, each identical but in different positions. The motion structure consists of two vertically arranged T-shaped bases 4 and a drive chain wheel 3. The drive chain wheel 3 is located between the two T-shaped bases 4 and fixed in a fixed position. The two T-shaped bases 4 are fixed... Figure 8 The upper rectangular through-hole has four chains on both sides. The driving chain wheel 3 passes through the through-hole and contacts the track 6. Four moving mechanisms are fixed to both sides of the structural frame 5, arranged symmetrically on both sides. The driving chain wheel 3, driven chain wheel 13, and four other chains engage the gear track 61, fixing the structural frame 5 within the corresponding position range and preventing it from slipping off the gear track. The other four chains prevent the structural frame 5 from wobbling up and down.

[0033] Furthermore, each side of the structural frame 5 is also fixed with a driven chain wheel 13 that is not connected to the drive device. The driven chain wheel 13 is arranged side by side with the driving chain wheel 3 and has the same structure as the driving chain wheel 3. Both pass through the chain wheel through hole on the structural frame 5 and mesh with the side of the gear track 61. The function of the driven chain wheel 13 is to make the traction mechanism slide more smoothly along the gear track 61.

[0034] Furthermore, a power line connection structure 62 and a bare wire cable 63 are sequentially connected below the gear track 61. For example... Figure 3 As shown: the gear track 61 is at the top, the power cable connection structure 62 is in the middle, and the bare cable 63 is at the bottom. The function of the gear track 61 is to provide a trajectory and load for the traction mechanism. The traction mechanism can move along the gear track and can also serve as a power cable to provide power to the motor. The function of the power cable connection structure 62 is to fix the bare cable 63 under the gear track. The function of the bare cable 63 is to provide power. Power requires positive and negative terminals, therefore two wires are needed: the bare cable 63 provides power to one terminal, and the gear track 61 provides power to the other terminal.

[0035] Furthermore, the power cable connection structure 62 includes, from top to bottom, a power connection structure screw 621, a power connection structure fixing nut 622, a signal line fixing block 623, a bare cable fixing nut 624, and a bare cable fixing clip 625. The top of the power connection structure screw 621 is provided with a cuboid boss that is locked in a square through hole on the gear track 61. The lower end of the power connection structure screw 621 passes through the central threaded hole of the power connection structure fixing nut 622 and the central through hole of the signal line fixing block 623 in sequence, and then connects to the central threaded hole of the bare cable fixing nut 624. The lower end of the bare cable fixing nut 624 is fixed with a bare cable fixing clip 625. The bare cable 63 passes through the cable fixing hole on the bare cable fixing clip 625, and a power contact frame 9 is connected below the bare cable 63.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown: The power connection structure fixing nut 622 is located below the gear track 61. It is connected to the power connection structure screw 621 via a threaded connection, allowing the screw to be fixed to the gear track 61. Below the power connection structure fixing nut 622 is a signal line fixing block 623, which has a through hole and provides a fixing point for the subsequent signal line. Below the signal line fixing block 623 is a bare cable fixing nut 624, which has internal threads. This nut provides a fixing structure for the bare cable 63 and also fixes the signal line fixing block 623 between it and the power connection structure fixing nut 622. Below the bare cable fixing nut 624 is a bare cable fixing clip 625, which clamps the bare cable 63 to prevent it from slipping. The bare cable fixing clip 625 is fixed to the bare cable fixing nut 624 by two bolts.

[0037] Furthermore, the power contact frame 9 includes a power contact frame rotating frame 91, a power contact insulating frame 92, a power contact concave wheel fixing frame 93, and a power contact concave wheel 94. The long rods on both sides of one end of the power contact frame rotating frame 91 are rotatably connected to the structural frames 5 on both sides, and the other end is rotatably connected to the middle of the power contact insulating frame 92 through a spring fixing rod 911. The concave wheel fixing frame 93 is fixedly connected above the power contact insulating frame 92. The power contact concave wheel 94 is rotatably connected to the power contact concave wheel fixing frame 93 and contacts the bare wire cable 63. The spring fixing rod 911 is connected to one end of the power spring 8, and the other end of the power spring 8 is connected to the spring fixing post 52 above the structural frame 5.

[0038] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown: The power contact frame 9 is fixed to the structural frame 5. The long rod of the power contact frame rotating frame 91 is fixed to the structural frame 5 but not welded, allowing the power contact frame rotating frame 91 to rotate. The other end of the power contact frame rotating frame 91 is connected to the power contact insulating frame 92. The upper part of the power contact insulating frame 92 is fixed to the power contact concave wheel fixing frame 93 by two bolts. The power contact concave wheel 94 is fixed to the power contact concave wheel fixing frame 93 and can rotate. The power contact concave wheel 94 has two points that allow the power contact insulating frame 92 to be parallel to the bare cable 63. The power contact concave wheel 94 contacts the bare cable 63 to obtain power from the bare cable 63. In order for the power contact frame 9 to make stable contact with the bare cable 63 for a long time, a preload is required. Therefore, a power spring 8 is added to the spring fixing rod 911 at one end of the power contact frame rotating frame 91 and the power contact insulating frame 92. The other end of the power spring 8 is connected to the power contact insulating frame 92. Figure 5 The structural frame is spring-fixed 52, allowing the power contact concave wheel 94 to always face upwards. The power contact concave wheel 94 contacts the bare wire cable 63, allowing power to be drawn out. The power supply can be provided in the manner described above, or an external power supply can be used. An external power supply method only requires the traction mechanism and gear track 61 to be retained.

[0039] Furthermore, there are four structural frame connecting rods 11 between the two structural frames 5, which makes the overall structure more stable.

[0040] In this invention, a basket for transportation can be mounted on the basket connecting rod 12. The mountain track has a reduction motor, and the traction mechanism can travel on the gear track 61. Through the chain cooperation between the gear track 61 and the driving chain wheel 3 and the driven chain wheel 13, the traction mechanism can be stopped at any position on the gear track 61, which can bring convenience to farmers and improve transportation efficiency.

[0041] This invention uses an electric motor, which is more environmentally friendly and cleaner. The electric motor is a geared motor 1 with a sprocket, one on each side, which can provide greater power and ensure that the system can transport heavier goods.

[0042] Furthermore, the power supply uses bare wire cable 63 and gear rail 61 to provide positive and negative terminals respectively. This not only provides power but also eliminates the need for an external power supply on the traction mechanism, reducing the overall weight of the traction mechanism. Using gear rail 61 as one of the power supply lines reduces material usage and saves costs.

[0043] The working principle of this invention is as follows: After the track is fixed, the traction mechanism is hung on the gear track 61, and the power supply is connected. When the reduction motor 1 with sprocket is powered on, it drives the sprocket 10 to rotate via the transmission chain 2. Since the sprocket 10 and the driving sprocket 3 are connected by a shaft, the driving sprocket 3 also rotates. The rotation of the driving sprocket 3 drives the gear track 61 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear track 61 drives the driven sprocket 13 to rotate. The chains on the driving sprocket 3 and the driven sprocket 13 engage the gear track 61, and the mechanism moves along the gear track 61. This completes the transportation work on the track.

[0044] This invention discloses a mountain rail transport system that allows for the construction of a track 6 similar to that of a zipline; simply connecting and fixing both ends of the track 6 completes the installation. This enables mountain rail transport machinery to construct tracks in the most convenient way possible, adapting to the terrain without requiring extensive infrastructure construction. Under the action of four chain wheels, the track remains aligned with the track 6, preventing derailment accidents caused by the traction mechanism deviating from the track direction. The convenient and rapid construction of the track 6 greatly improves work efficiency. The power supply mechanism installed on the track 6 significantly reduces workload, minimizes the need for external power supplies, lightens the weight of the traction mechanism, and achieves greater transport efficiency. Two geared motors 1 with chain wheels provide greater power to the traction mechanism.

[0045] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the protection scope of the invention, which should be defined by the claims.
