Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a ground rail device, which includes a track 01 and a driving assembly 20. The track 01 includes a plurality of ground rail units 10 connected in sequence, each ground rail unit 10 includes a body 101, a guide member 102 and a connector 103, the body 101 has a first end 02 and a second end 03 which are arranged opposite to each other along the extension direction, the second end 03 of the body 101 has a guide hole 1021 and a connector 1031, the guide hole 1021 and the connector 1031 are both arranged along the extension direction of the body 101, the guide member 102 is movably arranged at the first end 02 of the body 101, the connector 103 is movably arranged at the first end 02 of the body 101, the guide member 102 and the connector 103 are both movable along the extension direction of the body 101, the guide member 102 is used for plugging and matching with the guide hole 1021 of an adjacent ground rail unit 10, the connector 103 is used for plugging and matching with the connector hole 1031 of an adjacent ground rail unit 10, so as to connect two adjacent ground rail units 10. The driving assembly 20 is movably disposed on the track 01 , and the driving assembly 20 is used to carry and transport items.
[0049] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, the ground rail device includes a track 01 and a driving assembly 20. The track 01 is composed of a plurality of ground rail units 10 connected in sequence, and each ground rail unit 10 includes a body 101, a guide member 102 and a plug-in member 103. The body 101 has a first end 02 and a second end 03 that are arranged opposite to each other along its extension direction, and the second end 03 of the body 101 has a guide hole 1021 and a plug-in hole 1031, and the guide hole 1021 and the plug-in hole 1031 are both arranged along the extension direction of the body 101. The guide member 102 and the plug-in member 103 are both movably arranged at the first end 02 of the body 101, and they are both movable along the extension direction of the body 101. The guide member 102 is used to be plugged and matched with the guide hole 1021 of the adjacent ground rail unit 10, and the plug-in member 103 is used to be plugged and matched with the plug-in hole 1031 of the adjacent ground rail unit 10. The above structure is used to realize the stable connection of two adjacent ground rail units 10, and ensure the integrity and stability of the track 01. The driving assembly 20 is movably arranged on the track 01 for carrying and transporting articles. During operation, the guide member 102 is plugged into the guide hole 1021 of the adjacent ground track unit 10, and the plug-in member 103 is plugged into the plug-in hole 1031 of the adjacent ground track unit 10, so that the adjacent ground track units 10 are connected to each other to form a complete track 01, so that the driving assembly 20 can be moved on the track 01, and the flexible assembly of the ground track can be realized, thereby improving the working efficiency and application scope of the handling robot, and facilitating the subsequent maintenance and upgrading.
[0050] Furthermore, the ground rail unit 10 also includes a plug-in drive member 11, which is arranged on the body 101, and the plug-in drive member 11 is drivingly connected to the plug-in member 103, and the plug-in drive member 11 drives the plug-in member 103 to move in the extension direction of the body 101. In this embodiment, the plug-in drive member 11 is arranged in the inner cavity of the body 101, and the plug-in member 103 can be connected to the plug-in drive member 11 by direct fixation or indirect connection. When the plug-in member 103 needs to be extended or retracted, the plug-in drive member 11 is opened and drives the plug-in member 103 to extend and retract, so that the plug-in member 103 moves along its axial direction in the extension direction of the body 101, so as to realize position adjustment during assembly or disassembly, and can achieve more accurate and stable position control, thereby improving response speed and positioning accuracy.
[0051] Specifically, the selection of the plug-in drive member 11 needs to be determined according to the load, speed and precision requirements of the actual application.
[0052] like Figure 2As shown, the plug-in drive member 11 includes a motor 111, a screw rod 112 and a drive block 113. The screw rod 112 extends along the extension direction of the body 101, and the screw rod 112 is rotatably arranged on the body 101, and the motor 111 is drivingly connected to the screw rod 112. The drive block 113 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 112, and the drive block 113 is connected to an end of the plug-in member 103 close to the second end 03, and the motor 111 cooperates with the drive block 113 through the screw rod 112 to drive the plug-in member 103 to move.
[0053] In this embodiment, the plug-in drive member 11 includes a motor 111, a screw rod 112 and a drive block 113. The motor 111 is driven and connected to the screw rod 112, so that the drive block 113 threadedly connected to one end of the screw rod 112 can reciprocate on the screw rod 112. Among them, the motor 111 is fixedly arranged on the left side of the inner cavity of the body 101 and connected to one end of the screw rod 112. The screw rod 112 extends along the extension direction of the body 101, and the screw rod 112 is rotatably arranged on one side of the inner cavity of the body 101, that is, the two ends of the screw rod 112 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body 101 to ensure its smooth rotation. The drive block 113 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 112, and the shape of the drive block 113 matches the shape of the inner cavity of the body 101 to ensure that it will not get stuck during the activity of the inner cavity of the body 101. The driving block 113 is connected to the connector 103 , and the motor 111 can drive the connector 103 to move in the inner cavity of the body 101 through the cooperation between the screw rod 112 and the driving block 113 .
[0054] Specifically, when it is necessary to splice adjacent rail bodies 101, the motor 111 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 111 rotates and drives the screw 112 to rotate. Since the drive block 113 is threadedly connected to the screw 112, the rotation of the screw 112 will push the drive block 113 to move along the axial direction of the screw 112, thereby driving the connector 103 connected to the drive block 113 to move to the outside of the rail body 101, and cooperate with the adjacent rail body 101 to complete the splicing. On the contrary, when it is necessary to store the connector 103, the motor 111 is reversed, and the drive block 113 moves inward along the screw 112, so that the connector 103 is stored in the inner cavity of the rail body 101, which does not affect the transportation and storage of the rail body 101, so that the extension and recovery of the connector 103 can be accurately controlled, ensuring the tight connection between the rail bodies 101, and improving the overall flexibility and practicality.
[0055] like Figure 1As shown, the plug hole 1031 passes through the second end 03 of the body 101 to the first end 02 of the body 101, and the plug connector 103 is movably arranged in the plug hole 1031. The plug connector 103 has a first connection state in which the plug hole 1031 protrudes from the end surface of the first end 02 and a first avoidance state in which the plug connector 103 is retracted into the plug hole 1031. When the plug connector 103 is in the first connection state, the plug connector 103 is plugged and matched with one end of the plug hole 1031 of the adjacent ground rail unit 10 located at the second end 03. And / or, the guide hole 1021 extends from the second end 03 of the body 101 to the first end 02 of the body 101, and the guide member 102 is movably arranged in the guide hole 1021. The guide member 102 has a second connection state in which the guide hole 1021 protrudes from the end surface of the first end 02 and a second avoidance state in which the guide member 102 is retracted into the guide hole 1021. When the guide member 102 is in the second connection state, the guide member 102 is plugged into and matched with one end of the guide hole 1021 of the adjacent ground rail unit 10 located at the second end 03.
[0056] In this embodiment, the plug hole 1031 and the guide hole 1021 both pass through the second end 03 of the body 101 to the first end 02, so that the ground rail unit 10 can be aligned and connected through the holes at both ends when spliced. The design of the plug hole 1031 and the guide hole 1021 can be linear or vary according to the shape of the specific track 01 to adapt to different connection requirements. The connector 103 and the guide member 102 are movably arranged in their respective holes, and can slide in the holes along their length directions. Among them, the connector 103 protrudes from the end face of the first end 02 to achieve a first connection state, and the connector 103 is retracted into the plug hole 1031 to achieve a first avoidance state. The guide member 102 protrudes from the end face of the first end 02 to achieve a second connection state, and the guide member 102 is retracted into the guide hole 1021 to achieve a second avoidance state. The flexibility of this design enables the ground rail units 10 to be tightly connected to each other when spliced, and the connecting parts and guide members 102 can be retracted during disassembly or transportation to reduce space occupation.
[0057] Specifically, when in the first connection state, the connector 103 protrudes from the end face of the first end 02 and can cooperate with the second end 03 of the plug hole 1031 of the adjacent ground rail unit 10 to form a firm mechanical connection. Such a connection method can ensure the stability and strength between the ground rail units 10 and reduce the vibration and displacement during the operation of the handling robot. When the connector 103 is in the first avoidance state, it is completely retracted into the plug hole 1031 and does not protrude from the end face of the first end 02, so that the ground rail body 101 can be more compact when not in use or during transportation, reducing the impact of the external structure on the ground rail body 101. Similarly, when the guide member 102 is in the second connection state, it protrudes from the end face of the first end 02 and cooperates with the second end 03 of the guide hole 1021 of the adjacent ground rail unit 10, providing a guiding function to ensure the precise alignment of the ground rail unit 10 when splicing. In the second avoidance state, the guide member 102 is retracted into the guide hole 1021, which is convenient for loading and unloading and maintenance of the ground rail body 101.
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the floor rail unit 10 further includes a locking structure 12, which is disposed between the guide member 102 and the body 101, and is used to fix the position of the guide member 102 relative to the body 101. In this embodiment, a locking structure 12 is disposed between the guide member 102 and the body 101, and after the guide member 102 is positioned at a desired position, the locking mechanism is manually operated to fix the relative position between the guide member 102 and the body 101, thereby ensuring the stability of the guide member 102 during plug-in mating.
[0059] Specifically, a locking hole is provided on the side of the guide member 102, and the locking holes are distributed along the extension direction of the guide member 102, and the number of the locking holes can be multiple to meet different positioning requirements. When the guide member 102 moves to a suitable position for plugging and matching with the guide hole 1021 of the adjacent ground rail unit 10, the operator can manually operate the handle of the locking pin to push the locking pin toward the body 101 until the locking end of the locking pin is aligned with and inserted into the locking hole of the body 101, thereby fixing the guide member 102 on the body 101. After the locking pin is inserted into the locking hole, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the locking pin and the locking hole is firm.
[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the top surface of the body 101 has a transport groove 1011, and the transport groove 1011 extends from the first end 02 to the second end 03. The driving assembly 20 includes a support base 201, a driving wheel 202, and a transport driving member 203. The support base 201 is located above the transport groove 1011, and the driving wheel 202 is arranged at the bottom of the support base 201, and at least part of the driving wheel 202 is located in the transport groove 1011. The transport driving member 203 is arranged on the support base 201, and the transport driving member 203 is drivingly connected to the driving wheel 202 to drive the support base 201 to move on the track 01.
[0061] In this embodiment, the support seat 201 is the main part of the drive assembly 20, which is located above the transport trough 1011 and can carry the handling robot or other items that need to be transported. The design of the support seat 201 should take into account its load-bearing capacity and stability. It is usually made of solid materials to ensure that it can withstand the pressure of heavy objects during the handling process while maintaining the stability of the structure. The driving wheel 202 is arranged at the bottom of the support seat 201, and its number and layout should be designed according to the weight and transportation requirements of the handling robot. The driving wheel 202 is located in the transport trough 1011, so that the driving wheel 202 can be in close contact with the inner wall of the transport trough 1011, and the support seat 201 is driven to move on the track 01 by friction. The transport drive 203 is arranged on the support seat 201, and its function is to provide power for the driving wheel 202. The transport drive member 203 is connected to the driving wheel 202 . When the transport drive member 203 is started, it can drive the driving wheel 202 to rotate, thereby driving the support seat 201 to move along the direction of the transport groove 1011 on the track 01 .
[0062] Specifically, the design of the driving wheel 202 can be a solid wheel or a wheel with grooves or teeth to enhance the friction and guiding ability between the inner wall of the transport trough 1011. The transport drive 203 can be a servo motor 111, a stepper motor 111 or other types of power sources, and its selection depends on the specific application requirements of the handling robot, such as load capacity, moving speed and accuracy.
[0063] Specifically, a reducer 2051 is provided between the transport drive 203 and the drive wheel 202 to adjust the speed and torque of the drive wheel 202 to ensure that the transport robot or the carried object can move smoothly and accurately. The layout of the drive wheel 202 should also consider the straightness and curvature of the track 01 to adapt to different transport paths.
[0064] Further, the driving assembly 20 includes a plurality of driving wheels 202, which are arranged on the support seat 201 at intervals along the extension direction of the body 101, and the driving assembly 20 also includes a plurality of gears 204 and a conveyor belt 205. Among them, the transport driving member 203 is drivingly connected with one of the gears 204, which are arranged on the support seat 201 at intervals along the extension direction of the body 101, and the gears 204 are arranged one by one with the driving wheels 202, and the gears 204 rotate synchronously with the corresponding driving wheels 202. The conveyor belt 205 is sleeved on the plurality of gears 204, and the transport driving member 203 cooperates with the plurality of gears 204 through the conveyor belt 205 to drive the plurality of driving wheels 202 to rotate synchronously.
[0065] In this embodiment, a plurality of driving wheels 202 are evenly distributed on the support seat 201 and are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the ground rail body 101. Each driving wheel 202 is connected to the support seat 201 through a bearing to allow it to rotate freely and reduce the wear between the support seat 201 and the driving wheel 202. The synchronous rotation of the driving wheel 202 is achieved by a gear 204 and a conveyor belt 205. On the support seat 201, a plurality of gears 204 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the ground rail body 101, each gear 204 is arranged corresponding to a driving wheel 202, and the gears 204 and the driving wheels 202 are mechanically connected, such as a key or a spline, to ensure that they can rotate synchronously. One of the gears 204 is directly driven and connected to a transport drive 203 such as a servo motor 111, and when the transport drive 203 is started, it will directly drive the gear 204 to rotate. The conveyor belt 205 is sleeved on the plurality of gears 204 to form a closed loop structure. This closed-loop conveyor belt 205 connects multiple gears 204 together, ensuring that when the transport drive 203 drives one of the gears 204 to rotate, all the gears 204 and the corresponding drive wheels 202 can achieve synchronous rotation through the transmission effect of the conveyor belt 205, thereby driving the transport robot or the carrying platform to move smoothly on the track 01. In this way, even when transporting heavy objects, multiple drive wheels 202 can evenly distribute the load and reduce the wear of a single drive wheel 202. At the same time, due to the synchronous transmission of the gears 204 and the conveyor belt 205, the precise synchronization of the drive wheels 202 can be ensured, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the transport process.
[0066] Furthermore, the top surface of the body 101 also has a guide groove 1012, and the guide groove 1012 and the transport groove 1011 are arranged side by side along the width direction of the body 101, and the guide groove 1012 extends from the first end 02 to the second end 03.

The auxiliary seat 206 is located directly above the guide groove 1012, and auxiliary wheels 207 are arranged at the bottom, and these auxiliary wheels 207 are located in the guide groove 1012. When the driving assembly 20 moves, the auxiliary wheel 207 contacts the inner wall of the guide groove 1012 to play a guiding role, thereby preventing the driving assembly 20 from lateral deviation when moving on the track 01, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the transport robot.
[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, a connecting protrusion 2061 is provided on one side of the auxiliary seat 206 close to the support seat 201, a connecting groove 2011 is provided on one side of the support seat 201 close to the auxiliary seat 206, the connecting protrusion 2061 is matched and connected with the connecting groove 2011, a first connecting hole 2012 is provided on the top surface of the support seat 201, the first connecting hole 2012 is connected with the connecting groove 2011, a second connecting hole 2062 is provided on the connecting protrusion 2061, and the first connecting hole 2012 is coaxial with the second connecting hole 2062, and the ground rail unit 10 also includes a clamping member 13, a connecting column 14, a clamping protrusion 15 and a first elastic member 16. Among them, the clamping member 13 is detachably connected to the top of the support seat 201. The connecting column 14 is used to be inserted into the first connecting hole 2012 and the second connecting hole 2062, and one end of the connecting column 14 abuts against the clamping member 13. The pressing protrusion 15 is arranged on the side wall of the connecting column 14, and the pressing protrusion 15 is located above the connecting protrusion 2061. The first elastic member 16 is sleeved on the connecting column 14, one end of the first elastic member 16 abuts against the pressing member 13, and the other end of the first elastic member 16 abuts against the pressing protrusion 15, and the first elastic member 16 is used to provide a driving force for the pressing protrusion 15 to move toward the connecting protrusion 2061.
[0069] In this embodiment, a connecting protrusion 2061 is provided on one side of the auxiliary seat 206 close to the support seat 201, and a connecting groove 2011 is provided on one side of the support seat 201 close to the auxiliary seat 206. The size of the connecting groove 2011 matches that of the connecting protrusion 2061, so that the connecting protrusion 2061 can be smoothly inserted into the connecting groove 2011. A first connecting hole 2012 is provided on the top surface of the support seat 201. The first connecting hole 2012 is connected to the connecting groove 2011 and is used for the connection column 14 to pass through. A second connecting hole 2062 is provided on the connecting protrusion 2061. When the connecting protrusion 2061 is inserted into the connecting groove 2011, the first connecting hole 2012 and the second connecting hole 2062 are coaxially aligned, so that the connecting column 14 can pass through the second connecting hole 2062 from the first connecting hole 2012, thereby further fixing the auxiliary seat 206 and the support seat 201. The pressing member 13 is detachably connected to the top of the support seat 201, and is used to abut against one end of the connecting column 14 to apply a pressing force. The connecting column 14 is used to be inserted into the first connecting hole 2012 and the second connecting hole 2062, one end of the connecting column 14 abuts against the pressing member 13, and the other end passes through the second connecting hole 2062. The pressing protrusion 15 is arranged on the side wall of the connecting column 14 and is located above the connecting protrusion 2061. When the pressing member 13 is pressed downward, the pressing protrusion 15 contacts the other end of the first elastic member 16, thereby playing a role in positioning and preventing the connecting column 14 from moving sideways. The first elastic member 16 is sleeved on the connecting column 14, one end of which abuts against the pressing member 13, and the other end abuts against the pressing protrusion 15. When the first elastic member 16 is in a compressed state, it provides a driving force for the connecting protrusion 2061 to move toward the auxiliary seat 206. That is, when the auxiliary seat 206 needs to be separated from the support seat 201, the elastic force of the first elastic member 16 can help the connecting column 14 to be easily pulled out from the first connecting hole 2012 and the second connecting hole 2062, thereby reducing the resistance and complexity during the disassembly process.
[0070] Specifically, the connection protrusion 2061 generally has a shape matching the connection groove 2011, such as a cylindrical, rectangular or other customized shapes, to ensure the tightness and stability of the connection.

The function of the abutment groove 2063 is to provide a surface for the roller 18 to cooperate with it, and the roller 18 can roll in the abutment groove 2063, thereby reducing the friction between the auxiliary seat 206 and the ground rail body 101 and improving the smoothness of movement. The ground rail unit 10 also includes a mounting frame 17, a plurality of rollers 18 and a second elastic member 19. Among them, the mounting frame 17 is arranged on the side wall of the guide groove 1012 and is arranged along the extension direction of the ground rail body 101. The mounting frame 17 can move relative to the guide groove 1012 in the width direction of the ground rail body 101, so that the roller 18 can be accurately aligned with the abutment groove 2063 of the auxiliary seat 206, ensuring the tightness and stability of the connection between the auxiliary seat 206 and the ground rail body 101. A second elastic member 19 is provided between the mounting frame 17 and the ground rail body 101, which can ensure effective contact between the roller 18 and the abutment groove 2063. The function of the second elastic member 19 is to provide an elastic force toward the auxiliary seat 206 to the mounting frame 17, so as to ensure that the roller 18 always keeps in contact with the surface of the abutment groove 2063. Even if the weight of the handling robot or the carried objects changes or the ground rail body 101 is slightly deformed, the stability and guiding accuracy of the auxiliary seat 206 can be maintained.
