Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of guide groove manufacturing, and specifically relates to a manufacturing process of a guide groove of a driven roller of a logistics sorting trolley. Background Art

[0002] The driven roller of the logistics sorting trolley is generally provided with guide grooves at both ends. The guide groove is a commonly used component in the engineering field, which is used to guide and fix various pipes and components. The traditional guide groove manufacturing process usually uses aluminum tube processing and presses the two ends of the steel tube, and then welds or presses it to the component that needs to be fixed. However, this conventional process has some limitations.

[0003] Firstly, since aluminum tubes are used for processing, the process of manufacturing the guide grooves is relatively complicated and requires multiple steps, which increases the manufacturing cost and time.

[0004] Secondly, the pressing method in the traditional process can easily lead to insufficient strength of the connection between the guide groove and the steel pipe, which is prone to loosening, falling off and other problems, affecting the service life and stability of the guide groove.

[0005] In summary, a new guide groove manufacturing process is needed to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the connection strength and stability of the guide groove. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a process for manufacturing a guide groove of a driven roller of a logistics sorting trolley to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0011] d. adjusting the degree and position of the plastic deformation to achieve the desired guide groove shape;

[0012] e. After heat treatment or cooling process, the mechanical properties of the steel pipe in the groove area are enhanced.

[0013] This production process achieves the following advantages:

[0014] Strength and durability: By selecting high-strength steel, corrosion-resistant steel or composite materials as the base material of the guide trough, and by heat treatment or cooling process to enhance the mechanical properties of the steel pipe in the trough area, the guide trough has high strength and durability, and can withstand the operation and load pressure of the logistics sorting trolley;

[0015] Shape adjustability: Through plastic deformation and adjustment processes, the specific shape of the guide groove can be realized as needed, such as V-shape, U-shape, rectangle or semicircle, to ensure the accurate guidance and stability of the logistics sorting trolley in the guide groove;

[0016] Manufacturing flexibility: CNC machine tools or laser processing equipment are used to form the grooves, which can be flexibly cut, etched or melted according to design requirements to achieve high-precision and complex-shaped groove production;

At the same time, the use of appropriate materials and processes can control manufacturing costs and provide an economical and efficient solution.

Through appropriate processes, composite guide troughs can be customized to meet specific design requirements and functional needs;

[0021] The above three groups of materials can maintain the geometric shape and performance stability of the guide groove under different temperature and humidity conditions, and reduce dimensional changes and functional losses caused by temperature changes.

[0035] Preferably, the cutting / etching / melting device is a CNC machine tool or laser processing equipment.

[0036] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0037] 1. First, steel pipe is used as the base material of the guide groove. The steel pipe itself has high strength and stability and can better meet the requirements of the guide groove. Secondly, by directly forming the groove on the steel pipe, the steps of processing and connecting the aluminum pipe are avoided, the manufacturing process is simplified and the cost is reduced. In addition, by performing plastic deformation in the groove area, the performance of the guide groove can be further improved, and its load-bearing capacity and durability can be increased.

[0038] In addition, the present invention also mentions the application of heat treatment or cooling process to enhance the mechanical properties of the steel pipe in the groove area; heat treatment is to change the crystal structure and physical properties of the steel pipe by controlling the heating and cooling process of the steel pipe to enhance the strength and hardness of the material; tempering and annealing processes can eliminate stress and structural defects in the material and improve its toughness and ductility; by properly selecting and applying these heat treatment or cooling processes, the reliability and performance of the guide groove during use can be further improved.

[0046] d. Adjust the degree and position of plastic deformation to achieve the desired guide groove shape;

[0047] e. After heat treatment or cooling process, the mechanical properties of the steel pipe in the groove area are enhanced.

[0048] This production process achieves the following advantages:

[0049] Strength and durability: By selecting high-strength steel, corrosion-resistant steel or composite materials as the base material of the guide trough, and by heat treatment or cooling process to enhance the mechanical properties of the steel pipe in the trough area, the guide trough has high strength and durability, and can withstand the operation and load pressure of the logistics sorting trolley;

[0050] Shape adjustability: Through plastic deformation and adjustment processes, the specific shape of the guide groove can be realized as needed, such as V-shape, U-shape, rectangle or semicircle, to ensure the accurate guidance and stability of the logistics sorting trolley in the guide groove;

[0057] The step of forming the groove includes any of the following steps:

[0058] a. Use CNC machine tools or laser cutting technology to cut grooves on the surface of the steel pipe;

[0059] b. Etch grooves on the surface of the steel pipe using CNC machine tools or laser etching technology;

Different technologies can be used to open the groove according to needs.

[0062] Among them, the heat treatment or cooling process includes quenching, tempering or annealing process.

[0063] Quenching can:

[0064] Improve hardness and strength: Quenching is the process of rapidly solidifying steel through rapid cooling, producing high hardness and strength. This makes the steel more durable and strong when subjected to pressure and load;

[0065] Improve wear resistance: Quenching can improve the wear resistance of steel, making it perform better under friction and wear conditions. This is very important for the guide groove of the driven roller of the logistics sorting trolley, because the groove needs to withstand the rolling and friction of objects;

[0066] Tempering can:

[0067] Improve toughness and toughness-strength balance: Tempering is the process of reducing the brittleness created after quenching by heating the steel at an appropriate temperature for a period of time and then cooling it moderately. This improves the toughness of the steel, making it more resistant to impact and fracture, and achieving a better toughness-strength balance;

[0068] Reducing stress and deformation: Tempering can relieve the internal stress and deformation generated during the quenching process, which helps to improve the stability and shape accuracy of the steel.

[0069] Annealing can:

[0070] Improved machinability: The annealing process improves the machinability of steel by heating and slow cooling. It can reduce hardness and increase plasticity, making the steel easier to carry out subsequent processing operations such as cutting, forming and welding.

[0071] Optimize organization and performance: Annealing can change the grain structure of steel, eliminate internal stress, improve the uniformity and consistency of steel, and improve its physical and mechanical properties.

[0072] The shape of the groove is V-shaped, U-shaped, rectangular or semicircular.

[0073] The shape of the groove is V-shaped, U-shaped, rectangular or semicircular, and the grooves of different shapes can be opened through this manufacturing process;

[0074] The advantages of V-grooves are
