[0018] Step 1: First, open the installation slot of the required angle according to the use needs, align the rounded edges of the two wedge blocks with the side edges of the installation slot and press down. When pressing, the open side edges of the installation slot will push the rounded edges of the two wedge blocks inward, and the two wedge blocks will slide inward in the sliding cavity when pushed and shrink into the sliding cavity. When the limit block is installed in the installation slot, under the action of the pushing component, the two wedge blocks will be pushed out of the opening of the sliding cavity again, and the two wedge blocks will be stuck in the side edges of the installation slot, thereby locking the limit component. At this time, the installation of the guide rail assembly base is completed;

[0019] Step 2: Then install multiple sets of guide rail assemblies according to the required length. When installing, first install the limit assembly under it into the installation groove, and connect the adjacent guide rail assemblies. When connecting, penetrate the screw under the most side support plate of the guide rail assembly into the hollow sleeve under the most side support plate of the adjacent guide rail assembly, and use nuts to tighten the connected hollow sleeves and screws;

[0020] Step three: insert the rubber airbag through the No. 2 fixing tube and the No. 1 fixing tube in the multiple guide rail assemblies, and then adjust the connection angles of the multiple support plates in the guide rail assemblies, and then use the inflation device to inflate the rubber airbag. After the rubber airbag is inflated, it will expand in the No. 2 fixing tube and the No. 1 fixing tube in the multiple guide rail assemblies, and when the rubber airbag expands, the No. 2 arc guard plate and the No. 1 arc guard plate will be pushed upward, and when the No. 1 arc guard plate moves upward, it will slide vertically in the No. 1 annular fixing plate through the No. 1 connecting rod, and the No. 1 spline plug at the top of the No. 1 connecting rod will be inserted into the No. 1 plum blossom slot, thereby locking the No. 1 rotating shaft, and when the No. 2 arc guard plate moves upward, it will slide vertically in the No. 2 annular fixing plate through the No. 2 connecting rod, and the No. 2 spline plug at the top of the No. 2 connecting rod will be inserted into the No. 2 plum blossom slot, thereby locking the No. 2 rotating shaft, and then fixing the adjustment angles of the multiple support plates;

[0021] Step 4: When the ground rail needs to be repaired or replaced, first release the gas in the rubber airbag, and take the rubber airbag out of the No. 2 fixed tube and the No. 1 fixed tube that need to be replaced, take out the screw from the adjacent hollow sleeve, and then pull the sliding sleeve upward to make the sliding sleeve drive the two connecting plates to move upward. When the two connecting plates are pulled upward, the sliding rods at their bottom ends will slide upward in the guide grooves opened on the inner walls of the inclined grooves, and make the two wedge blocks shrink toward the inside of the sliding cavity. When the wedge blocks shrink into the sliding cavity, the limit blocks can be taken out of the mounting grooves, and the guide rail assembly can be disassembled and replaced.

[0022] The present invention is beneficial in that:

[0023] 1. The present invention installs multiple sets of guide rail assemblies according to the required length. When installing, the limit assembly under it is first installed into the installation groove, and the adjacent guide rail assemblies are connected. When connecting, the screw under the most lateral support plate in the guide rail assembly is penetrated into the hollow sleeve under the most lateral support plate in the adjacent guide rail assembly, and the connected hollow sleeve and screw are fastened with a nut. Multiple sets of guide rail assemblies are used for splicing, and the setting length of the ground rail can be adjusted according to the use requirements.

[0024] 2. The present invention makes the rounded edges of the two wedge blocks align with the side edges of the installation groove and press down. When the two wedge blocks are pushed, they will slide inward in the sliding cavity. When the limit block is installed in the installation groove, the two wedge blocks will be pushed out of the opening of the sliding cavity again, and the two wedge blocks will be stuck in the side edges of the installation groove, thereby locking the limit assembly. When the floor rail needs to be repaired and replaced, the rubber airbag is taken out from the No. 2 fixing cylinder and the No. 1 fixing cylinder that need to be replaced, and the screw is taken out of the adjacent hollow sleeve. After the two wedge blocks are retracted into the sliding cavity, the limit block can be taken out from the mounting groove, and the guide rail assembly can be disassembled and replaced, thereby facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the ground rail. After the two wedge blocks are retracted into the sliding cavity, the limit block can be slid in the mounting groove, so that the guide rail assembly can be adjusted to the installation position in the mounting groove at will.

[0025] 3. The present invention fixes the top end of the No. 2 rotating shaft to the bottom side of one of the support plates, and the No. 2 connecting tube is fixed to the bottom side of the adjacent support plate through a fixed seat. During adjustment, the adjacent support plate will rotate in the No. 2 connecting tube under the support of the No. 2 rotating shaft, and the support plate in the middle of the guide rail assembly will rotate in the No. 1 connecting tube under the support of the No. 1 rotating shaft, so as to adjust the connection angles of multiple support plates, so that the guide rail assembly can be suitable for robot guidance with different guiding angle requirements, and the ground rail assembly can be reused, avoiding the need to purchase additional ground rails when the ground rail angle needs to be adjusted in subsequent use, thereby increasing production costs.

[0026] 4. When the mounting groove of the present invention is set as an irregular curve, the guide rail assembly spliced ​​along the path of the mounting groove can use the second rotating axis to perform adaptive rotation between multiple support plates in the second connecting tube, so that the support plates in the multiple groups of guide rail assemblies can adapt to the curved path of the mounting groove after being combined.

[0061] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 In the embodiment, a No. 2 fixing ring 6301 is fixedly connected to the top opening of the No. 2 connecting tube 62, a No. 2 annular groove 6302 is provided on the side curved surface of the No. 2 rotating shaft 63 for rotationally engaging with the No. 2 fixing ring 6301, two No. 2 limiting grooves 6602 are provided on the No. 2 annular fixing plate 65, two No. 2 fixing ribs 6601 for slidingly limiting with the No. 2 limiting grooves 6602 are vertically fixedly connected to the side curved surface of the No. 2 connecting rod 66, the No. 2 fixing ring 6301 and the No. 2 annular groove 6302 are used to rotationally limit the No. 2 rotating shaft 63 to prevent the No. 2 rotating shaft 63 from escaping from the No. 2 rotating shaft 63, and the No. 2 fixing ribs 6601 and the No. 2 limiting grooves 6602 are used to lift and lower the No. 2 connecting rod 66 to prevent the No. 2 connecting rod 66 from rotating in the No. 2 annular fixing plate 65, and the No. 2 spline plug 68 and the No. 2 plum blossom slot 64 can be used to lock the No. 2 rotating shaft 63.

[0062] When working, the robot ground rail is usually fixed to the ground by connecting parts and bolts during installation. This installation method requires the bolts to be removed when the ground rail needs to be replaced or maintained, which makes disassembly and assembly inconvenient. In addition, the ground rail is mostly cast or cut into shape in one piece, and the angle of the ground rail cannot be adjusted as needed during subsequent use. Purchasing ground rails separately will increase production costs. In this solution, the pushing component 34 in the initial state will always push the two wedge blocks 33 outward, so that the rounded edges of the two wedge blocks 33 are located outside the opening of the sliding cavity 32. When in use, the installation groove 2 of the required angle is first opened according to the needs of use, and when installing It is only necessary to align the limiting block 31 with the opening of the mounting groove 2, and align the rounded edges of the two wedge blocks 33 with the side edges of the mounting groove 2 and press down. When pressing, the side edges of the opening of the mounting groove 2 will push the rounded edges of the two wedge blocks 33 inward, and the two wedge blocks 33 will slide inward in the sliding cavity 32 when pushed, and shrink into the sliding cavity 32. When the limiting block 31 is installed in the mounting groove 2, under the action of the pushing assembly 34, the two wedge blocks 33 will be pushed out of the opening of the sliding cavity 32 again, and the two wedge blocks 33 will be stuck in the side edges of the mounting groove 2, thereby locking the limiting assembly 3, and the installation of the guide rail assembly base is completed at this time;

[0063] Then, multiple sets of guide rail assemblies are installed according to the required length. When installing, the limit assembly 3 below it can be installed into the installation groove 2, and the adjacent guide rail assemblies are connected. When connecting, the screw 10 under the most side support plate 5 of the guide rail assembly is penetrated into the hollow sleeve 9 under the most side support plate 5 of the adjacent guide rail assembly, and the nut 11 is used to tighten the connected hollow sleeve 9 and screw 10. By splicing multiple sets of guide rail assemblies, the setting length of the ground rail can be adjusted according to the use requirements;

[0064] Then, the angles of the multiple groups of guide rail assemblies that have been spliced ​​are adjusted to connect them according to the required angles. When adjusting, first, the rubber airbag 8 that matches the length of the ground rail is passed through the No. 2 fixed tube 61 and the No. 1 fixed tube 41 in the multiple groups of guide rail assemblies, and then the connection angles of the multiple support plates 5 in the guide rail assembly can be adjusted. When adjusting, by twisting the support plate 5 at the most side, the support plate 5 at the side will drive the connected support plates 5 to swing in turn, and the adjacent support plates 5 will rotate in the No. 2 connecting tube 62 under the support of the No. 2 rotating shaft 63, and the support plate 5 located in the middle will rotate on the No. 1 rotating shaft. 43, it rotates in the No. 1 connecting cylinder 42 to adjust the connection angles of the multiple support plates 5, and when the installation groove 2 is set as an irregular curve, the guide rail assembly spliced ​​along the path of the installation groove 2, the multiple support plates 5 can use the No. 2 rotating shaft 63 to perform adaptive rotation in the No. 2 connecting cylinder 62, so that the support plates 5 in the multiple groups of guide rail assemblies can adapt to the curved path of the installation groove 2 after being combined. After the adjustment is completed, the rubber airbag 8 is inflated by using an inflation device. After the rubber airbag 8 is inflated, it will expand in the No. 2 fixing cylinder 61 and the No. 1 fixing cylinder 41 in the multiple groups of guide rail assemblies, and when the rubber airbag 8 is inflated, The second curved guard plate 69 and the first curved guard plate 47 in the second fixed cylinder 61 and the first fixed cylinder 41 will be subjected to an upward pushing force. When the first curved guard plate 47 moves upward, it will slide vertically in the first annular fixed plate 45 through the first connecting rod 46, and the first spline plug 49 at the top of the first connecting rod 46 will be inserted into the first plum blossom slot 44, thereby locking the first rotating shaft 43, so that the first rotating shaft 43 can no longer rotate in the first connecting cylinder 42, and then locking the support plate 5 in the middle of the multiple support plates 5 to prevent the support plate 5 in the middle from twisting under the action of external force during use, and when the second curved guard plate When 69 moves upward, it will slide vertically in the second annular fixing plate 65 through the second connecting rod 66, and the second spline plug 68 at the top of the second connecting rod 66 will be inserted into the second plum blossom slot 64, thereby locking the second rotating shaft 63, so that the second rotating shaft 63 cannot rotate in the second connecting tube 62, and when the second rotating shaft 63 and the first rotating shaft 43 are both locked, the multiple support plates 5 can no longer be adjusted, and the adjustment angles of the multiple support plates 5 are fixed to lock the support plates 5 in the guide rail assembly at the end, so as to prevent the rotation offset between the support plates 5 during use and affect normal use;

[0065] When the floor rail needs to be repaired or replaced, the gas in the rubber airbag 8 is first released, and the rubber airbag 8 is taken out from the No. 2 fixed tube 61 and the No. 1 fixed tube 41 that need to be replaced, and the screw rod 10 is taken out from the adjacent hollow sleeve 9, and then the sliding sleeve 310 is pulled upward, so that the sliding sleeve 310 drives the two connecting plates 38 to move upward, and when the two connecting plates 38 are pulled upward, the sliding rods 39 at their bottom ends will slide upward in the guide grooves 36 opened on the inner wall of the inclined groove 35, and the two wedge blocks 33 will shrink toward the inside of the sliding cavity 32. When the wedge blocks 33 shrink into the sliding cavity 32, the limit blocks 31 can be taken out from the installation groove 2, and the guide rail assembly can be disassembled and replaced. When the two wedge blocks 33 shrink into the sliding cavity 32, the limit blocks 31 can be slid in the installation groove 2, so that the guide rail assembly can be adjusted in the installation groove 2 at will.

[0066] The cooperation achieves the effect of facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the robot ground rail, and the fixed angle of the ground rail can be adjusted according to the needs of use, which effectively improves the reuse effect of the ground rail and avoids the need to purchase additional ground rails due to adjustments in use needs, thereby increasing production costs.
