Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unpowered trolleys, and in particular to a spliced ​​cam trolley device and method that can be adjusted on site. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, people have realized the importance of energy conservation and environmental protection, advocating low-carbon life, reducing environmental pollution, improving air quality and reducing carbon emissions, accelerating the development of new energy, increasing the proportion of renewable energy utilization, getting rid of dependence on fossil energy, and reducing energy consumption.

[0003] Against this backdrop, carbon-free vehicles have become a key event in university student science and technology innovation competitions. There are two types of carbon-free vehicles: thermal energy vehicles and potential energy vehicles. Potential energy vehicles convert the gravitational potential energy of a falling object into kinetic energy, while thermal energy vehicles primarily use an external combustion engine as their energy source, achieving propulsion through energy conversion.

[0004] The main operating trajectories of carbon-free trolleys include "S-type," "figure-8," "S-loop," "double figure-8," and "combined." Different operating trajectories require the use of a steering mechanism, which is a key component for the carbon-free trolley to follow the desired trajectory. The design of the steering mechanism is generally derived through trajectory simulation or trajectory curve calculation under ideal conditions. The steering mechanism is the most important part of the carbon-free trolley. The quality of the steering mechanism design directly determines whether the trolley can successfully achieve the desired trajectory of slalom obstacle avoidance and thus achieve a complete trajectory. Existing carbon-free trolley steering mechanisms mainly include crank rocker mechanisms, crank slider mechanisms, sine mechanisms, sheave mechanisms, incomplete gear mechanisms, cam mechanisms, etc.

[0005] For complex running trajectories, steering is generally achieved through a cam mechanism. However, the cam profile calculation is complex and the accuracy is relatively low, requiring continuous on-site debugging and correction of the cam. The existing trolley cam is difficult to correct, and when the pile spacing or trajectory changes, the trolley needs to be disassembled and replaced with a new cam, which is very troublesome.

[0006] Currently, there is a lack of a cam trolley that is quick and easy to debug on site, does not require cam replacement, is convenient for correcting the trolley's running trajectory on site, and has high steering accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The transmission mechanism includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a transmission shaft, a pulley, a transition wheel, a transition wheel bracket, a tensioning wheel, a tensioning wheel bracket and a transmission belt.

[0012] The spliced ​​cam is composed of multiple cam pieces, each of which is cut from a hard card. Each cam piece on the spliced ​​cam corresponds to a track. The running track planned according to the rules of the trolley around the pole is divided into a left-turn track, a right-turn track and a straight track. The shape of the cam piece corresponding to each track is deduced according to the track segment.

[0013] The planned trajectory is divided into segments according to a regular pattern, and the cam piece contour corresponding to each segment of the trajectory is derived in sequence. Then all the trajectories are merged into the trajectory of the trolley and the corresponding cam pieces are spliced ​​on the cam base plate. There is a circle of magnetic pieces on the cam base plate. Each cam piece is fixed by a magnet after it is placed. When the distance between the obstacle piles changes, the steering and straight-line distance of the trolley can be adjusted by adjusting the overlap between the corresponding cam pieces without replacing the cam.

The clutch lock block is fixedly mounted on the clutch long shaft by a top screw, and the clutch shift lever is mounted on the clutch rear bracket by a pin shaft and can rotate along the pin shaft. The front end of the clutch lever is hook-shaped so that it can quickly hook and release the clutch lock block during operation to put the transmission belt in a relaxed and tensioned state. The clutch operating lever is fixedly mounted on the clutch lever. Pulling the clutch long shaft backward and operating the clutch operating lever can make the clutch lever hook the clutch lock block to put the transmission belt in a relaxed state. When the power output is stable, operating the clutch operating lever to release the clutch lever to tighten the transmission belt and transmit power. The spring is installed at the front end of the clutch long shaft through a spring stopper to play a reset role. The spring stopper is fixedly mounted at the front end of the clutch long shaft through a top screw.

[0017] The pile pushing mechanism includes a baffle and a baffle frame. The baffle frame is fixedly mounted on the front end of the vehicle frame. The baffle is fixedly mounted on the front end of the baffle frame. The lower end of the baffle is at a certain height from the ground. When the trolley encounters an obstacle pile and falls during its movement, the baffle can push the obstacle pile aside to prevent the obstacle pile from entering the bottom of the trolley and jamming the trolley.

[0018] A method for making a cam using a spliced ​​cam trolley device and adjusting the trajectory on site includes the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Track design: Design the track of the car according to the distance between the obstacle piles. Then divide the track into multiple sections of left-turning tracks, right-turning tracks, and straight tracks. Based on each section of the track, deduce the shape of the cam piece required for traveling on that section of the track.

[0020] Step 2: Splice the cams, combine the various track segments into a complete trolley running track, then splice the corresponding cam pieces onto the cam base and fix them with magnets. After the spliced ​​cam is made, install it on the trolley;

[0021] Step 3: Run the track. After placing the trolley device at the starting position, move the clutch lever so that the clutch lever hooks the clutch lock block to put the transmission belt in a relaxed state. When the power source is stably input to the power input pulley, move the clutch lever again so that the clutch lever releases the clutch lock block to put the transmission belt in a tensioned state. The trolley moves forward along the predetermined track.

[0022] Step 4: Adjust the cam. When the distance between the obstacle piles changes, adjust the overlap between the corresponding cam pieces to adjust the steering and straight-line distance of the trolley, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the trolley's running trajectory.

[0023] Step 5: Let the adjusted spliced ​​cam trolley run along the trajectory again to check whether the trajectory of the trolley is consistent with the expected planned trajectory, and then make corresponding adjustments based on the actual situation. Finally, the spliced ​​cam can be obtained to enable the trolley device to run around the expected trajectory accurately to avoid obstacles.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The present invention is a field-adjustable spliced ​​cam trolley. By dividing the trolley's running track into segments according to a rule, then deriving the cam shape of the segmented track, and then splicing the track and the cam shape, the cam shape on the trolley's steering mechanism can be simply and quickly produced without the need for simulation and theoretical calculation of the entire complex track, thereby simplifying the design and production of the cam.

[0026] 2. The above-mentioned spliced ​​cam trolley has a simple structure and good stability. When the distance between the obstacle piles changes, the overlap and shape of the corresponding cam pieces can be adjusted according to the change to change the trajectory of the trolley. On-site adjustment is very simple and convenient, and there is no need to replace a new cam.

[0027] 3. The above-mentioned spliced ​​cam trolley is designed with a trajectory correction mechanism. Every time the trolley travels a cycle of the running trajectory, the trajectory correction mechanism touches the boundary plate of the competition venue to eliminate the accumulated steering errors during the operation of the trolley, thereby avoiding the trajectory deviation caused by the accumulated error.

[0028] 4. The above-mentioned spliced ​​cam trolley is designed with a clutch mechanism. When the power input is unstable, locking the clutch mechanism can make the transmission belt in a relaxed state and the trolley stand still. When the power input is stable, releasing the clutch mechanism can tighten the transmission belt and drive the trolley forward. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

There is no need to disassemble and replace the cam, which simplifies the design and assembly, reduces the cost of the trolley, and ensures that the trolley can move along the predetermined trajectory to avoid obstacles.

[0048] Furthermore, the frame 1 is an integrally formed aluminum alloy frame structure, which is simple to manufacture, reduces overall weight, and reduces energy loss. The frame 1 is used to support all components of the vehicle.

[0049] Furthermore, the power input pulley 2 is mounted on the transmission shaft 303 of the transmission mechanism 3 via a bearing. The power input pulley 2 is a double pulley that inputs power to the large pulley and then transmits the power to the transmission mechanism 3 and the steering mechanism 4 via the double small pulley. The power input pulley 2 is mainly used to transmit the power required for the operation of the trolley to the trolley.

[0050] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 3 includes a driving wheel 301, a driven wheel 302, a transmission shaft 303, a pulley 304, a transition wheel 305, a transition wheel bracket 306, a tensioning wheel 307, a tensioning wheel bracket 308, and a transmission belt 309. The driving wheel 301 is fixedly mounted on the right end of the transmission shaft 303 by a top screw, and the driven wheel 302 is mounted on the left end of the transmission shaft 303 by a bearing and can rotate freely. The transmission shaft 303 is mounted on the rear end of the frame 1 by a bearing. The pulley 304 is fixed to the transmission shaft 303 by means of a jackscrew. The transition pulley 305 is mounted on the clutch front bracket 702 of the clutch mechanism 7 via the transition pulley bracket 306. The tensioning pulley 307 is mounted on the clutch long shaft 703 of the clutch mechanism 7 via the tensioning pulley bracket 308. One end of the transmission belt 309 is wound around the small pulley of the power input pulley 2. The transmission belt 309 is tightened by the tensioning pulley 307 after being wound around the pulley 304 via the transition pulley 305. The transmission mechanism 3 is mainly used to transmit the power provided by the power input pulley 2 to the transmission mechanism 3, and then to the steering mechanism 4.

[0051] Furthermore, the steering mechanism 4 includes a bracket 401, a turbine 402, a worm 403, a turbine shaft 404, a spliced ​​cam 405, a cam push rod 406, a rubber ring 407, a front wheel 408, a front fork 409, a front wheel shaft 410, and a rotating shaft 411. The bracket 401 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the frame 1 by bolts, the worm 403 is fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft 303, the turbine 402 is fixedly mounted on the turbine shaft 404, the turbine 402 and the worm 403 are engaged for transmission, the turbine shaft 404 is mounted on the bracket 401 through a bearing, the spliced ​​cam 405 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the turbine shaft 404 by a top screw, and the cam push rod 406 is installed on the fine-tuning bracket 501 of the fine-tuning mechanism 5, one end of the rubber ring 407 is fixedly installed on the bracket 401, and the other end is sleeved on the fine-tuning bracket 501 and the screw micrometer bracket 502. By adjusting the tightness of the rubber ring 407, the cam push rod 406 is always in close contact with the outer contour of the spliced ​​cam 405, ensuring that the spliced ​​cam 405 can effectively push the cam push rod 406 to drive the front wheel 408 to turn, and the front wheel 408 is fixedly installed on the front wheel shaft 410, and the front wheel shaft 410 is installed on the front fork 409 through a bearing. The front fork 409 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 411 by a top screw and is installed at the front end of the bracket 401 through a bearing.

[0052] Furthermore, the spliced ​​cam 405 is composed of multiple cam pieces, each of which is cut from hard card. Each cam piece on the spliced ​​cam 405 corresponds to a track. The running track planned according to the rules of the trolley going around the pole is divided into a left-turn track, a right-turn track and a straight track. The shape of the cam piece corresponding to each track is deduced based on the track. To illustrate the specific steps for designing the profile of a single cam for the spliced ​​cam 405, take one cam segment as an example. Profile 4051 corresponds to the vehicle's front wheels following a straight trajectory 405a. Profile 4052 corresponds to the vehicle's front wheels turning left to a certain degree and then returning to the straight path, corresponding to trajectory 405b. Profile 4053 corresponds to the vehicle's front wheels turning right to a certain degree and then returning to the straight path, corresponding to trajectory 405c. Profile 4054 corresponds to the vehicle's front wheels following a straight trajectory 405d. After these two turns, the vehicle changes lanes. This method divides the planned trajectory into segments according to a regular pattern, sequentially deriving the cam segment profile corresponding to each segment. All these segments are then combined into the vehicle's travel trajectory, and the corresponding cam segments are spliced ​​onto the cam base. The cam base is equipped with a circle of magnetic plates, and each cam segment is secured by magnets once in place. When the distance between the obstacle piles changes, the vehicle's steering and linear travel distance can be adjusted by adjusting the overlap between the corresponding cam segments. This is convenient and quick, and does not require cam replacement.

[0054] Furthermore, the trajectory correction mechanism 6 comprises a correction disc 601 and a correction frame 602. The correction frame 602 is screwed to the front end of the steering mechanism 4. The correction disc 601 is a circular disc with a long shaft, and is mounted on the correction frame 602 via bearings for free rotation. Each time the spliced ​​cam trolley completes a cycle of its trajectory, the correction disc 601 on the trajectory correction mechanism 6 rubs against the boundary plate of the competition field, eliminating any accumulated errors during the trolley's operation.

[0055] Furthermore, the clutch mechanism 7 includes a clutch rear bracket 701, a clutch front bracket 702, a clutch long shaft 703, a clutch locking block 704, a clutch lever 705, a pin 706, a clutch operating lever 707, a spring 708, and a spring stopper 709.

The clutch operating lever 707 is fixedly installed on the clutch lever 705. Pulling the clutch long shaft 703 to move backward and operating the clutch operating lever 707 can make the clutch lever 705 hook the clutch lock block 704 to put the transmission belt 309 in a relaxed state. When the power output is stable, operating the clutch operating lever 707 to release the clutch lever 705 can tighten the transmission belt 309 and transmit power. The spring 708 is installed at the front end of the clutch long shaft 703 through the spring stop 709 to play a reset role. The spring stop 709 is fixedly installed at the front end of the clutch long shaft 703 by a top screw.

[0056] Furthermore, the pile-pushing mechanism 8 includes a baffle 801 and a baffle frame 802.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] The method for manufacturing a cam and adjusting the trajectory on site using a spliced ​​cam trolley device that can be adjusted on site comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: Track design: Design the track of the car according to the distance between the obstacle piles. Then divide the track into multiple sections of left-turning tracks, right-turning tracks, and straight tracks. Based on each section of the track, deduce the shape of the cam piece required for traveling on that section of the track.

[0060] Step 2: Splice the cams, combine the various track segments into a complete trolley running track, then splice the corresponding cam pieces onto the cam base plate and fix them with magnets. After the spliced ​​cam 405 is manufactured, install it on the trolley;

[0061] Step 3: Run the track. After placing the trolley device at the starting position, move the clutch lever 707 so that the clutch lever 705 hooks the clutch lock block 704 to put the transmission belt 309 in a relaxed state. After the power source is stably input to the power input pulley 2, move the clutch lever 707 again so that the clutch lever 705 releases the clutch lock block 704 to put the transmission belt 309 in a tensioned state. The trolley moves forward along the predetermined track.

[0062] Step 4: Adjust the cam. When the distance between the obstacle piles changes, adjust the overlap between the corresponding cam pieces to adjust the steering and straight-line distance of the trolley, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the trolley's running trajectory.

[0063] Step 5: Let the adjusted spliced ​​cam trolley run the track again to check whether the track of the trolley is consistent with the expected planned track, and then make corresponding adjustments according to the actual situation.
