Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of track operation technology, and in particular relates to a cross-shaped track conversion module and its conversion method. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of containerized products, operations often require movement along longitudinal and transverse tracks. Currently, the longitudinal and transverse tracks are cut off at their intersection, forming longitudinal and transverse recesses respectively. When the longitudinal wheel rolls to the intersection, it stops in the longitudinal recess. Then, a lifting platform can raise the container to replace the longitudinal wheel with a transverse wheel; conversely, the lifting platform can lower the container to allow the transverse wheel to fall into the transverse recess, thus achieving track switching. When the transverse wheel rolls to the intersection, it stops in the transverse recess; then, the lifting platform can raise the container to replace the transverse wheel with a longitudinal wheel; conversely, the lifting platform can lower the container to allow the longitudinal wheel to fall into the longitudinal recess, thus achieving track switching.

[0003] However, the area of ​​the track at the midpoint between the longitudinal and transverse tracks is small, and the longitudinal and transverse wheels will fall into the longitudinal and transverse recesses respectively. This causes the longitudinal and transverse wheels to deviate and wear unevenly from the longitudinal and transverse tracks respectively. At the same time, due to the influence of the longitudinal and transverse recesses, it is very difficult to push box-shaped products on the longitudinal and transverse tracks, which increases labor intensity and reduces work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a cross-shaped track conversion module and its conversion method, which can convert the transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel, and avoid the transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel from offsetting and wearing off with the transverse track and the longitudinal track respectively after conversion.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] Firstly, a cross-shaped track conversion module is provided, which includes:

[0007] The first mounting slot is set on the horizontal track, and the first mounting slot is vertically provided with a first positioning pin;

[0008] The second mounting slot is set on the longitudinal track. The middle of the second mounting slot intersects with the middle of the first mounting slot. A second positioning pin is vertically set on the second mounting slot.

[0009] The conversion block, the first mounting slot and the second mounting slot are all matched in size. The bottom of the conversion block is provided with a positioning hole for insertion with the first positioning pin or the second positioning pin. The top of the conversion block is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which is located in the middle of the conversion block.

[0010] In one embodiment, the positioning hole is a through hole.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the positioning hole is set as a through hole so that both ends of the conversion block can be installed on the first positioning pin or the second positioning pin through the positioning hole; that is, after replacing the transverse wheel or the longitudinal wheel, the conversion block can be flipped so that the flat surface of the end of the conversion block without the arc groove is facing upward, so that the transverse wheel or the longitudinal wheel falls on the flat surface, thereby facilitating its movement on the flat surface. This helps to reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency; in addition, the positioning hole is set as a through hole, which also makes it convenient to observe the relative position of the first positioning pin or the second positioning pin and the positioning hole through the positioning hole.

[0012] In one implementation, the radius of the arc groove, the wheel radius of the lateral wheel, and the wheel radius of the longitudinal wheel are all matched.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the radius of the arc groove, the wheel radius of the lateral wheel and the wheel radius of the longitudinal wheel are all matched, which is conducive to the lateral wheel or the longitudinal wheel entering the arc groove along the groove wall.

[0014] In one implementation, the length of the arcuate groove matches the width of the conversion block.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the length of the arc groove is matched with the width of the conversion block to avoid the two ends of the arc groove interfering with the movement of the transverse or longitudinal wheels.

[0016] In one embodiment, at least two first positioning pins and at least two second positioning pins are respectively provided on the first mounting slot and the second mounting slot.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are that at least two first positioning pins and at least two second positioning pins can provide at least two positioning positions for the conversion block, thereby ensuring accurate positioning and installation of the conversion block.

[0018] In one embodiment, two first positioning pins are provided on the first mounting groove, and the two first positioning pins are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the first mounting groove.

[0019] The second mounting slot is provided with two second positioning pins, which are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the second mounting slot.

[0020] In one embodiment, the cross-shaped track conversion module includes a first conversion seat fixedly connected to the transverse track and a second conversion seat fixedly connected to the longitudinal track. The top surfaces of the first and second conversion seats are flush with the top surfaces of the transverse and longitudinal tracks, respectively. The top of the first conversion seat is provided with a first mounting groove, and the top of the second conversion seat is provided with a second mounting groove.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the first mounting slot and the second mounting slot are respectively set on the transverse track and the longitudinal track through the first conversion seat and the second conversion seat.

[0022] In one embodiment, the first conversion seat and the second conversion seat are respectively provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole for inserting the first positioning pin and the second positioning pin, and the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are respectively located below the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the first positioning pin and the second positioning pin are respectively inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, so that the upper part of the first positioning pin and the second positioning pin extends into the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove.

[0024] Secondly, a conversion method for a cross-shaped intersecting track conversion module is provided, which includes the following steps:

[0025] Install the positioning hole on the first positioning pin so that the conversion block is installed in the first mounting groove with the arc groove facing upward;

[0026] Move the box-shaped product until the horizontal wheel falls into the arc-shaped groove;

[0027] Lift up the box-shaped product and replace the horizontal wheels at the bottom of the box-shaped product with vertical wheels;

[0028] Flip the conversion block over and install the positioning hole on the second positioning pin so that the conversion block is installed in the second mounting groove with the arc groove facing down;

[0029] Lower the box-shaped product so that the longitudinal wheel lands on the flat surface of the end of the conversion block that does not have an arc groove.

[0030] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the arc groove can position the transverse wheel before conversion, thereby ensuring that the replaced longitudinal wheel falls accurately on the conversion block that serves as the longitudinal track, thus avoiding misalignment and uneven wear between the converted longitudinal wheel and the conversion block that serves as the longitudinal track; at the same time, the longitudinal wheel falls on a flat surface, which facilitates pushing on a flat surface, which helps to reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, the conversion method of the cross-shaped intersecting track conversion module further includes the following steps:

[0032] Install the positioning hole on the second positioning pin so that the conversion block is installed in the second mounting groove with the arc groove facing upward;

[0033] Move the box-shaped product until the longitudinal wheels fall into the arc-shaped groove;

[0034] Lift up the box-shaped product and replace the vertical wheels at the bottom of the box-shaped product with horizontal wheels;

[0035] Flip the conversion block and install the positioning hole on the first positioning pin so that the conversion block is installed in the first mounting groove with the arc groove facing down;

[0036] Lower the box-shaped product so that the lateral wheel lands on the flat surface of the end of the conversion block that does not have an arc groove.

[0037] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the arc groove can position the longitudinal wheel before conversion, thereby ensuring that the replaced transverse wheel falls accurately on the conversion block that serves as the transverse track, thus avoiding misalignment and uneven wear between the converted transverse wheel and the conversion block that serves as the transverse track; at the same time, the transverse wheel falls on a flat surface, which facilitates pushing on a flat surface, which helps to reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0039] The arc-shaped groove can position the transverse and longitudinal wheels before replacement, so that the transverse and longitudinal wheels are located at the intersection of the transverse and longitudinal tracks. After conversion, the transverse and longitudinal wheels can fall onto the transverse and longitudinal mounting conversion blocks, respectively. The transverse and longitudinal mounting conversion blocks can serve as part of the transverse and longitudinal tracks, respectively, to provide stable support for the transverse and longitudinal wheels. This avoids misalignment and uneven wear of the converted transverse and longitudinal wheels with the transverse and longitudinal tracks, respectively, while converting the transverse and longitudinal wheels.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an existing cross-shaped track conversion structure is shown. The longitudinal track 1 and the transverse track 3 are cut off at the intersection, forming a longitudinal recess 2 and a transverse recess 4 at the cut-off point, respectively. When the longitudinal wheel 14 rolls to the intersection, it stops at the longitudinal recess 2. Then, a lifting platform can raise the box-shaped product to replace the longitudinal wheel 14 with the transverse wheel; and the lifting platform can lower the box-shaped product so that the transverse wheel falls into the transverse recess 4, thus achieving track conversion. When the transverse wheel rolls to the intersection, it stops at the transverse recess 4; then, a lifting platform can raise the box-shaped product to replace the transverse wheel 14 with the longitudinal wheel 14; and the lifting platform can lower the box-shaped product so that the longitudinal wheel 14 falls into the longitudinal recess 2, thus achieving track conversion.

[0051] However, due to the small area of ​​the track at the midpoint between the longitudinal track 1 and the transverse track 3, the longitudinal wheel 14 and the transverse wheel will fall into the longitudinal pit 2 and the transverse pit 4 respectively. This causes the longitudinal wheel 14 and the transverse wheel to deviate and wear off the longitudinal track 1 and the transverse track 3 respectively. At the same time, affected by the longitudinal pit 2 and the transverse pit 4, it is very difficult to push the box-shaped product on the longitudinal track 1 and the transverse track 3, which increases the labor intensity and reduces the work efficiency.

[0052] Therefore, the present invention provides a cross-shaped intersecting track conversion module, such as... Figure 2-5 As shown, it includes:

[0053] The first mounting groove 5 is set on the horizontal rail 3, and the first mounting groove 5 is vertically provided with a first positioning pin 6.

[0054] The second mounting groove 8 is set on the longitudinal track 1. The middle part of the second mounting groove 8 intersects with the middle part of the first mounting groove 5. A second positioning pin 9 is vertically set on the second mounting groove 8.

[0055] The conversion block 10, the first mounting groove 5 and the second mounting groove 8 are all matched in size. The bottom of the conversion block 10 is provided with a positioning hole 12 for insertion with the first positioning pin 6 or the second positioning pin 9. The top of the conversion block 10 is provided with an arc groove 11, which is located in the middle of the conversion block 10.

[0056] It is understood that the arc groove 11 can position the transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel 14 before replacement, so that the transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel 14 are located at the intersection of the transverse track 3 and the longitudinal track 1. The converted transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel 14 can fall onto the transversely mounted and longitudinally mounted conversion blocks 10 respectively. The transversely mounted conversion blocks 10 and the longitudinally mounted conversion blocks 10 can be used as part of the transverse track 3 and the longitudinal track 1 respectively, so as to provide stable support for the transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel 14 respectively. Thus, on the basis of converting the transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel 14, it is avoided that the converted transverse wheel and the longitudinal wheel 14 will deviate and wear off from the transverse track 3 and the longitudinal track 1 respectively.

[0057] It should be noted that the width of the conversion block 10, the width of the upper part of the transverse track 3, and the width of the upper part of the longitudinal track 1 are all matched. That is, when the conversion block 10 is installed in the first mounting slot 5, it can be used as part of the transverse track 3, and when the conversion block 10 is installed in the second mounting slot 8, it can be used as part of the longitudinal track 1. In addition, the dimensions of the conversion block 10, the first mounting slot 5, and the second mounting slot 8 are all matched, which can make the conversion block 10 seamlessly connected to the transverse track 3 and to the longitudinal track 1.

[0058] In one embodiment, the positioning hole 12 is a through hole.

[0059] It is understandable that the positioning hole 12 is set as a through hole so that both ends of the conversion block 10 can be installed on the first positioning pin 6 or the second positioning pin 9 through the positioning hole 12; that is, after replacing the transverse wheel or the longitudinal wheel 14, the conversion block 10 can be flipped so that the flat surface of the end of the conversion block 10 without the arc groove 11 is facing upward, so that the transverse wheel or the longitudinal wheel 14 falls on the flat surface, thereby facilitating its movement on the flat surface. This helps to reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency. In addition, the positioning hole 12 is set as a through hole, which also makes it convenient to observe the relative position of the first positioning pin 6 or the second positioning pin 9 and the positioning hole 12 through the positioning hole 12.

[0060] In one embodiment, the radius of the arc groove 11, the wheel radius of the lateral wheel, and the wheel radius of the longitudinal wheel 14 are all matched, which is beneficial for the lateral wheel or the longitudinal wheel 14 to enter the arc groove 11 along the groove wall of the arc groove 11.

[0061] In one embodiment, the length of the arc groove 11 is matched with the width of the conversion block 10 to avoid the two ends of the arc groove 11 interfering with the movement of the transverse wheel or the longitudinal wheel 14.

[0062] In one embodiment, at least two first positioning pins 6 and at least two second positioning pins 9 are respectively provided on the first mounting slot 5 and the second mounting slot 8.

[0063] Understandably, at least two first locating pins 6 and at least two second locating pins 9 can provide at least two locating positions for the conversion block 10, thereby ensuring that the conversion block 10 is accurately positioned and installed.

[0064] In one embodiment, two first positioning pins 6 are provided on the first mounting groove 5, and the two first positioning pins 6 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the first mounting groove 5.

[0065] The second mounting slot 8 is provided with two second positioning pins 9, which are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the second mounting slot 8.

[0066] In one embodiment, the cross-shaped track conversion module includes a second conversion seat 7 fixedly connected to the transverse track 3. The top surfaces of the first conversion seat 13 and the second conversion seat 7 are flush with the top surfaces of the transverse track 3 and the longitudinal track 1, respectively. The top of the first conversion seat 13 is provided with a first mounting groove 5, and the top of the second conversion seat 7 is provided with a second mounting groove 8.

[0067] It is understandable that the first mounting slot 5 and the second mounting slot 8 are respectively set on the transverse track 3 and the longitudinal track 1 through the first conversion seat 13 and the second conversion seat 7.

[0068] In one embodiment, the first conversion seat 13 and the second conversion seat 7 are respectively provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole 15 for inserting the first positioning pin 6 and the second positioning pin 9. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole 15 are respectively located below the first mounting groove 5 and the second mounting groove 8.

[0069] It is understood that the first positioning pin 6 and the second positioning pin 9 are respectively inserted into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole 15, so that the upper parts of the first positioning pin 6 and the second positioning pin 9 extend into the first mounting groove 5 and the second mounting groove 8.

[0070] A conversion method for a cross-shaped intersecting orbit conversion module is also provided, which includes the following steps:

[0071] The positioning hole 12 is installed on the first positioning pin 6 so that the conversion block 10 is installed in the first mounting groove 5 and the arc groove 11 faces upward.

[0072] Move the box-shaped product until the lateral wheel falls into the arc-shaped groove 11;

[0073] Lift up the box-shaped product and replace the horizontal wheels at the bottom of the box-shaped product with vertical wheels 14;

[0074] Flip the conversion block 10 and install the positioning hole 12 on the second positioning pin 9 so that the conversion block 10 is installed in the second mounting groove 8 and the arc groove 11 faces downward;

[0075] Lower the box-shaped product so that the longitudinal wheel 14 falls onto the flat surface of the end of the conversion block 10 where the arc groove 11 is not provided.

[0076] It is understandable that the arc groove 11 can position the transverse wheel before conversion, thereby ensuring that the replaced longitudinal wheel 14 falls accurately on the conversion block 10, which serves as the longitudinal track 1, thus avoiding misalignment and uneven wear between the replaced longitudinal wheel 14 and the conversion block 10, which serves as the longitudinal track 1. At the same time, the longitudinal wheel 14 falls on a flat surface, which facilitates pushing on a flat surface, which helps to reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.

[0077] In one embodiment, the conversion method of the cross-shaped track conversion module further includes the following steps:

[0078] Install the positioning hole 12 on the second positioning pin 9 so that the conversion block 10 is installed in the second mounting groove 8 and the arc groove 11 faces upward;

[0079] Move the box-shaped product until the longitudinal wheel 14 falls into the arc groove 11;

[0080] Lift up the box-shaped product and replace the longitudinal wheels 14 at the bottom of the box-shaped product with transverse wheels;

[0081] Flip the conversion block 10 and install the positioning hole 12 on the first positioning pin 6 so that the conversion block 10 is installed in the first mounting groove 5 and the arc groove 11 faces downward;

[0082] Lower the box-shaped product so that the lateral wheel falls onto the flat surface of the end of the conversion block 10 where the arc groove 11 is not provided.

[0083] It is understandable that the arc groove 11 can position the longitudinal wheel 14 before conversion, thereby ensuring that the replaced transverse wheel falls accurately on the conversion block 10, which serves as the transverse track 3, thus avoiding misalignment and uneven wear between the converted transverse wheel and the conversion block 10, which serves as the transverse track 3; at the same time, the transverse wheel falls on a flat surface, which facilitates pushing on a flat surface, which helps to reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.
