Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent suspension conveying systems, in particular to the technical field of self-adjustable display route type intelligent suspension conveying systems. [Background technology]

[0002] Product display refers to a service technique that displays the full appearance, performance and characteristics of products so that customers can identify and select products and thereby arouse their interest in purchasing. Product exhibitions refer to mass social activities that bring together companies, customers, industry experts and others in a certain geographical space to provide opportunities for information exchange and cooperation. At exhibitions, businesses can set up special booths to display their products, services and technologies, thereby obtaining customer feedback, expanding markets and expanding brand influence.

[0003] Since the space of the booth is usually limited, in order to better display the goods, more and more merchants choose to set up a conveying system on the top to transport the goods at a uniform speed above the booth in a suspended manner according to a specified route. However, the existing conveying system, such as a suspended conveying system disclosed in the invention patent with publication number CN106672568A and a trolley-type hanging chain conveying system disclosed in the invention patent with publication number CN111038926A, not only has a relatively complex structure, but also the running track and the transport vehicle and other components need to be laid separately at the ceiling. The disassembly and assembly steps are very cumbersome, and the disassembly and assembly costs are high, which is difficult to apply to most domestic exhibitions with a short holding period (usually 3 to 7 days). In addition, this also makes it impossible for the sales staff in the exhibition hall to simply adjust the display route according to the actual exhibition situation. In fact, even professional installers cannot quickly adjust the installation path of the running track. [Summary of the invention]

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and to propose an intelligent hanging conveying system with self-adjustable display route, which is easy to disassemble and assemble and can freely adjust the commodity conveying route as needed.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a self-adjustable display route type intelligent suspension conveying system, including a conveying mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a driving mechanism, a base plate and a central controller. The conveying mechanism has a flexible track that is ring-shaped and can be twisted and bent above a horizontal plane, and a plurality of hooks installed on the flexible track. The flexible track is suspended under the base plate in a specified shape through a plurality of positioning mechanisms. The plurality of driving mechanisms respectively drive the flexible track to circulate through friction on the bottom surface of the base plate and are electrically controlled by the central controller.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning mechanism is composed of a pair of positioners symmetrically arranged outside the flexible track, the positioner includes a positioning bracket and a positioning pusher, the bottom of the positioning bracket is provided with a lower positioning cross plate that can support the flexible track, and the positioning pusher is detachably connected to the positioning bracket and can horizontally support the flexible track.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning bracket includes a positioning vertical plate, an upper positioning horizontal plate and a lower positioning horizontal plate, and the upper positioning horizontal plate, the positioning vertical plate and the lower positioning horizontal plate are arranged in sequence from top to bottom and form a Z shape, the upper positioning horizontal plate is connected to the base plate by fasteners, and a notch is provided on the positioning vertical plate for the positioning slider to pass through, and the positioning slider is connected to the positioning vertical plate by fasteners.

[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the lower positioning horizontal plate and the insertion end surface of the positioning pusher are respectively provided with a plurality of positioning bead pits for placing positioning balls and a positioning bead limiting plate with positioning through holes through which the corresponding positioning ball parts are exposed, and the two positioning bead limiting plates are respectively connected to the lower positioning horizontal plate and the positioning pusher by fasteners.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism is composed of a pair of drivers symmetrically arranged outside the flexible track, and the driver includes a driving bracket, a friction wheel, a motor and a machine plate. The motor is mounted on the machine plate and can drive the friction wheel to rotate. The machine plate is detachably connected to the driving bracket and can make the friction wheel close to the flexible track.

[0010] Preferably, the driving bracket includes a driving vertical plate, an upper driving horizontal plate and a lower driving horizontal plate, wherein the upper driving horizontal plate, the driving vertical plate and the lower driving horizontal plate are arranged in sequence from top to bottom and form a T-shape, the upper driving horizontal plate is connected to the base plate via fasteners, the friction wheel is rotatably connected to the driving vertical plate, and the machine plate is connected to the lower driving horizontal plate via fasteners.

[0011] Preferably, the top surface of the lower driving transverse plate is provided with a plurality of driving ball pits for placing driving balls and a driving bead limiting plate with driving through holes through which the corresponding driving ball parts are exposed, and the driving bead limiting plate is connected to the lower driving transverse plate by fasteners.

[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the lower driving transverse plate is further provided with a guide bar which can guide the machine plate to move only transversely.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom surface of the flexible track is provided with a T-shaped track groove, and each of the hooks is indirectly connected to the flexible track through a T-bar.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the flexible track is also threadedly connected with a plurality of auxiliary bolts which can respectively support each T-bar downward.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0016] 1) By adopting a flexible track that is annular and can be twisted and bent on a horizontal plane as the main body of the conveying mechanism, the flexible track can be suspended under the base plate in a specified shape by using a plurality of positioning mechanisms, and then a plurality of driving mechanisms respectively fixed on the bottom surface of the base plate can be used to drive the flexible track to move cyclically through friction, thereby using a plurality of hooks installed on the flexible track to drive the goods to move cyclically along the specified route. The overall structure is simple, and it can not only be directly suspended on the top of the exhibition hall in an integrated manner, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, but also the commodity conveying route can be freely adjusted as needed, which is very suitable for use in scenes such as exhibitions where commodities need to be displayed cyclically for a short time;

[0017] 2) A pair of positioners symmetrically arranged outside the flexible track are used to form a positioning mechanism, and a positioning bracket and a positioning pusher are used to form a positioner. The two positioning brackets can be used to support the flexible track first, and then the two positioning pushers arranged opposite to each other can be used to limit the flexible track laterally, so that the twisted and bent flexible track can be quickly fixed in a specified shape without affecting the subsequent driving mechanism driving the flexible track;

[0018] 3) A pair of drivers symmetrically arranged outside the flexible track are used to form a driving mechanism, and a driving bracket, a friction wheel, a motor and a machine plate are used to form a driver. The two driving brackets can be used to provide auxiliary support for the flexible track, and the machine plate can adjust the position of the friction wheel until the friction wheel fits the flexible track, thereby ensuring that the flexible track can move with the friction wheel while the friction wheel is driven by the motor to rotate.

[0019] 4) By installing a positioning ball limit plate and a driving ball limit plate on the positioner and the driver respectively to install the positioning ball and the driving ball, not only can the positioning ball and the driving ball be used to effectively reduce the resistance of the flexible track during movement, but also the positioning ball and the driving ball can be easily replaced;

[0020] 5) By providing a T-shaped track groove on the bottom surface of the flexible track, the flexible track is connected with a T-bar, a hook and an auxiliary bolt, so that the user can use the T-bar and the auxiliary bolt to achieve self-stable adjustment of the installation position of the hook.

[0021] The features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
