[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A pneumatic propulsion device and its method of use include a slide rail and an upper positioning component. An outer mounting frame is slidably installed in the slide rail, and an inner mounting frame is fixedly installed on one side of the outer mounting frame. An inner sliding plate is slidably installed in the inner mounting frame. Multiple sets of mounting seats are fixedly installed at the lower end of the inner sliding plate. Each mounting seat has a groove. A movable seat is slidably connected in the groove. The upper end of the movable seat extends to the upper surface of the mounting seat and is fixedly installed with a mounting plate. A coupling track is rotatably installed in the mounting plate. The two ends of the coupling track are respectively located on the two mounting seats. A drive mechanism is provided at both ends of the coupling track. The drive mechanism can drive the coupling track to slide on the mounting seat.

[0008] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. A drive gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor. Driven gears are fixedly mounted on both ends of the coupled track. The driven gears mesh with the drive gears. A toothed plate is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting base near the driven gears. The toothed plate meshes with the driven gears.

[0009] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly installed inside the outer mounting frame, and a connecting seat is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder. Limiting grooves are provided on both the outer and inner mounting frames at positions corresponding to the connecting seat. One end of the connecting seat is fixedly connected to the inner sliding plate through the limiting groove.

[0010] Preferably, a middle fixing member is fixedly installed at the middle position of the slide rail, the middle fixing member has symmetrically embedded grooves at the top and bottom, and limit members are fixedly installed at both the top and bottom ends of the slide rail.

[0011] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed at the lower end of the outer mounting frame, the lower end of the mounting bracket is located on one side of the slide rail, a fixing plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the mounting bracket, a connector is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate near the slide rail, the connector is provided with upper and lower sets, an embedding block is fixedly installed at the end of the connector near the middle fixing member, the embedding block is embedded into the embedding groove and slidably connected with the embedding groove, and a roller is rotatably installed at the end of the connector away from the middle fixing member, the roller is rotatably installed in the limiting member.

[0012] Preferably, the inner sliding plate reciprocates within the inner mounting frame, and a wear-resistant rubber block is installed within the inner mounting frame.

[0013] Preferably, a telescopic pin is provided inside the coupling track via a compression spring, and a swivel track is fixedly installed below the slide.

[0014] A pneumatic propulsion method, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0015] Step 1: The cylinder moves downward through the connecting seat, driving the inner sliding plate to move downward, thereby driving the coupled track to move downward;

[0016] Step 2: The coupling track descends to its maximum position, the cylinder operation stops, and the first coupling is performed, so that the hook is suspended on the coupling track.

[0017] Step 3: After the hook is stably suspended from the coupling track, open the cylinder again. The cylinder drives the inner sliding plate to move up through the connecting seat.

[0020] In this invention, the rotating rollers drive the connecting parts to move on the slide and the intermediate fixing parts, which in turn moves the outer and inner mounting frames, thus moving the coupled track to different hook transfer points. During the transfer process, the cylinder drives the inner sliding plate downward through the connecting seat, causing the inner sliding plate to move the coupled track downward. When the coupled track reaches its lowest point, the drive motor drives the driving gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear meshing with it to rotate. The driven gear interacts with the toothed plate on the mounting seat, pushing the coupled track to move towards the hook, thereby enabling the hook to move. The hook slides into the coupling track, then the cylinder is opened again. The cylinder starts the inner sliding plate to move upward, which causes the coupling track to move the hook upward. When it moves to the highest point, the cylinder is closed, and then the drive motor is turned on, causing the drive motor to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the interaction between the driven gear and the toothed plate, the coupling track moves towards the transfer line track below the slide, so that the hook is suspended on the transfer line track, thus completing the hook transfer. Then the drive roller rotates, causing the outer and inner mounting frames to move to the next transfer point for transfer, avoiding the trouble of manual transfer and improving the efficiency of installation and hanging.

An inner mounting frame 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer mounting frame 1. An inner sliding plate 4 is slidably installed in the inner mounting frame 5. Multiple sets of mounting seats 7 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the inner sliding plate 4. Each mounting seat 7 has a sliding groove 11. A movable seat 12 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 11. The upper end of the movable seat 12 extends to the upper surface of the mounting seat 7 and is fixedly installed with a mounting plate 10. A coupling track 9 is rotatably installed in the mounting plate 10. The two ends of the coupling track 9 are respectively located on the two mounting seats 7. A drive mechanism is provided at both ends of the coupling track 9. The drive mechanism can drive the coupling track 9 to slide on the mounting seat 7.

[0031] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 10. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly mounted with a drive gear 14. Both ends of the coupled track 9 are fixedly mounted with driven gears 13, which mesh with the drive gear 14. A toothed plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting base 7 near the driven gear 13, and the toothed plate 8 meshes with the driven gear 13.

[0032] The outer mounting frame 1 has a cylinder 15 fixedly installed inside it. The output end of the cylinder 15 has a connecting seat 16 fixedly installed. Limiting grooves 18 are opened on both the outer mounting frame 1 and the inner mounting frame 5 at the positions corresponding to the connecting seat 16. One end of the connecting seat 16 is fixedly connected to the inner sliding plate 4 through the limiting groove 18.

[0033] Among them, a middle fixing part 17 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the slide 2. The middle fixing part 17 has symmetrically embedded grooves at the top and bottom. Limiting parts 19 are fixedly installed at both the top and bottom ends of the slide 2.

[0034] The lower end of the outer mounting frame 1 is fixedly mounted with a mounting bracket 6. The lower end of the mounting bracket 6 is located on one side of the slide rail 2. The lower end of the mounting bracket 6 is fixedly mounted with a fixing plate 20. The side of the fixing plate 20 near the slide rail 2 is fixedly mounted with a connector 21. The connector 21 is provided with two sets, upper and lower. The end of the connector 21 near the middle fixing member 17 is fixedly mounted with an embedding block. The embedding block is embedded into the embedding groove and slidably connected with the embedding groove. The end of the connector 21 away from the middle fixing member 17 is rotatably mounted with a roller 22. The roller 22 is rotatably mounted in the limiting member 19.

This causes the hook to slide into the upper part of the coupling track. Then, the cylinder 15 is opened again, and the inner sliding plate 4 moves upward, causing the coupling track to move the hook upward. When it reaches the highest point, the cylinder 15 is closed, and the drive motor is turned on, causing the drive motor to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the interaction between the driven gear 13 and the toothed plate 8, the coupling track moves towards the transfer line track below the slide 2, so that the hook is suspended on the transfer line track, thus completing the hook transfer. Then, the drive roller 22 is rotated, causing the outer mounting frame 1 and the inner mounting frame 5 to move to the next transfer point for transfer, avoiding the trouble of manual transfer and improving the efficiency of installation.
