DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] As Figures 1 to 12As shown, the modular flexible wheeled belt conveyor comprises a vehicle head 1 arranged on the left side, a plurality of modular vehicle bodies 2 hingedly connected to the right side of the vehicle head 1, and the plurality of modular vehicle bodies 2 are sequentially hingedly connected at the head and tail to form a module connection structure. Each modular vehicle body 2 comprises a front axle 3 and a rear axle 4 arranged on the left and right sides, respectively. The front axle 3 and the rear axle 4 are provided with steering portions on the front and rear sides of the lower ends, respectively. Each group of steering portions is provided with a wheel 14 at the lower end, and the steering portion is rotationally connected to the corresponding front axle 3 and rear axle 4 along a vertical axis. A connecting portion is arranged between the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4, and the connecting portion comprises a front traction structure 5 and a rear traction structure 6. The left and right ends of the front traction structure 5 are hingedly connected to the front ends of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4, respectively. The left and right ends of the rear traction structure 6 are hingedly connected to the rear ends of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4, respectively. A steering drive portion is further arranged on the inner side of the front traction structure 5 and the rear traction structure 6, and the steering drive portion is used to drive the steering portion to rotate along the vertical axis within a set range. A support portion is further arranged on the upper end of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4, and the support portion is fixedly connected to a flexible conveying belt 50 on the upper side.

[0036] After the specified goods are loaded in the flexible conveying belt 50 on the upper end of the support portion, the vehicle head 1 drives the plurality of sequentially connected modular vehicle bodies 2 behind to move along a straight line. The plurality of sequentially hingedly connected modular vehicle bodies 2 follow the vehicle head 1 to move along a straight line under the traction of the vehicle head 1.

[0037] When the vehicle head 1 turns, the modular vehicle body 2 passes through the curve, and the flexible conveying belt 50 appears to be curved, that is, the front row of two groups of wheels 14 and the rear row of two groups of wheels 14 fixed below the flexible conveying belt 50 appear to have a displacement difference, resulting in different degrees of tension of the front traction structure 5 and the rear traction structure 6. The steering drive portion arranged on the inner side of the front traction structure 5 and the rear traction structure 6 is driven by the tension, and the steering drive portion drives the steering portion to deflect the wheels 14 towards the vehicle head 1 until it is on a set turning circle, forming a turning posture of the modular vehicle body 2.

[0038] In order to facilitate the articulation of the vehicle head 1 and the modular vehicle body 2; in the present application, the right end surface of the vehicle head 1 is fixedly connected with the L-shaped trailer hook 7, the L-shaped trailer hook 7 comprises a horizontal cross brace 8 and a vertical brace 9, the left end of the cross brace 8 is fixed with the vehicle head 1, and the right end is fixed with the lower part of the vertical brace 9, and the upper part of the vertical brace 9 is also fixedly provided with a spherical anti-disengagement joint; a first support column 11 is vertically fixedly arranged at the lower end of the front axle 3, the first support column 11 is connected with the vertical brace 9 through the first connecting plate 10, the left and right ends of the first connecting plate 10 are respectively provided with left and right mounting holes, the vertical brace 9 and the first support column 11 are respectively provided with corresponding left and right mounting holes, and the vertical brace 9 and the first support column 11 are respectively rotatably connected with the corresponding left and right mounting holes; when the vehicle head 1 needs to be disconnected with the modular vehicle body 2, the vertical brace 9 is separated from the left mounting hole, so that the vehicle head 1 and the modular vehicle body 2 can be disconnected; a second support column 24 is vertically fixedly arranged at the lower end of the rear axle 4, and the second support column 24 is connected with the first support column 11 in the adjacent right side of the modular vehicle body 2 through the second connecting plate 25; so as to realize the sequential connection of a plurality of modular vehicle bodies 2.

[0039] In order to form a stable support for the flexible conveying belt 50; in the present application, the front axle 3 is in the form of a cuboid structure arranged horizontally along the front and rear directions, a limiting block 26 is fixedly arranged on the upper end surface of the front axle 3, and the upper end surface of the limiting block 26 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove and closely contacts the lower end surface of the flexible conveying belt 50;

[0040] In order to make the modular vehicle bodies 2 connected with the vehicle head 1 in sequence follow the vehicle head 1 to turn, that is, the swinging posture of the wheels 14 can be matched with the orientation of the vehicle head 1; in the present application, cylindrical outer connecting pins 12 are fixedly arranged on the front and rear sides of the upper end surface of the front axle 3, and rotary connecting holes 13 are vertically arranged on the front and rear sides of the lower end surface of the front axle 3; the rear axle 4 is arranged corresponding to the left and right sides of the front axle 3, and the rear axle 4 has the same structure as the front axle 3; the steering part comprises a rotating column 15 arranged corresponding to the rotary connecting hole 13, the rotating column 15 is rotatably connected with the front axle 3 through the rotary connecting hole 13, a wheel support 16 is fixedly arranged on the lower end of the rotating column 15, a wheel shaft is horizontally arranged on the lower end of the wheel support 16 along the front and rear directions, the wheel shaft is coaxially arranged with the wheel 14 and is rotatably connected with the wheel support 16; the left and right ends of the front traction structure 5 are respectively sleeved on the cylindrical outer connecting pins 12 arranged on the front end upper surfaces of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4, and the left and right ends of the front traction structure 5 are respectively rotatably connected with the front ends of the corresponding front axle 3 and rear axle 4 through the cylindrical outer connecting pins 12, the left and right ends of the rear traction structure 6 are respectively sleeved on the cylindrical outer connecting pins 12 arranged on the rear end upper surfaces of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4, and the left and right ends of the rear traction structure 6 are respectively rotatably connected with the rear ends of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4 through the cylindrical outer connecting pins 12; that is, the left and right ends of the front traction structure 5 are respectively rotatably connected with the front ends of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4; the left and right ends of the rear traction structure 6 are respectively rotatably connected with the rear ends of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4;

[0041] When the vehicle head 1 turns, the vehicle head 1 drags the L-shaped trailer hook 7 arranged on the right side of the vehicle head 1, the front axle 3 in the modular vehicle body 2 hinged with the L-shaped trailer hook 7 moves along with the vehicle head 1, and the front axle 3 drags the wheel support 16 hinged with the front axle 3 to swing to adapt to the movement of the front axle 3, the resultant force of the friction force from the ground and the traction force makes the wheel 14 hinged with the wheel support 16 below rotate on the turning circumference of the vehicle head 1, and the front axle 3 is connected with the rear axle 4 through the front traction structure 5 and the rear traction structure 6, so that the rear axle 4 repeats the above-mentioned action to complete the turning of the modular vehicle body 2 along with the vehicle head 1.

[0042] In the process of turning of the modular vehicle body 2, since the circumference of the outer circle of the curve is greater than the circumference of the inner circle of the curve, that is, the displacement of the two groups of wheels 14 on the outer side of the curve is greater than the displacement of the two groups of wheels 14 on the inner side, in order to adapt the change of the displacement of the wheels 14, the front traction structure 5 and the rear traction structure 6 are provided.

[0043] In the present application, the front traction structure 5 comprises two groups of traction rods 17 arranged left and right, the inner ends of the two groups of traction rods 17 are respectively fixedly provided with inner connecting rings 18, the two groups of inner connecting rings 18 are coaxially arranged above and below, and the two groups of inner connecting rings 18 are coaxially sleeved with the same group of inner connecting pins 19, and each group of inner connecting rings 18 is rotationally connected with the inner connecting pin 19; the outer ends of the two groups of traction rods 17 are respectively fixedly provided with outer connecting rings 20, the two groups of outer connecting rings 20 are respectively coaxially sleeved with the corresponding outer connecting pins 12 fixed on the upper end faces of the front axle 3 and the rear axle 4, and the two groups of outer connecting rings 20 are rotationally connected with the corresponding two groups of outer connecting pins 12, and the rear traction structure 6 has the same structure as the front traction structure 5 and is symmetrically arranged in front and back; in the present application, the two groups of inner connecting rings 18 on the rear traction structure 6 and the front traction structure 5 are always inside the two groups of outer connecting rings 20.

[0044] The modular vehicle body 2 of the above structure needs the displacement of the two groups of wheels 14 on the outside of the curve to be greater than that of the two groups of wheels 14 on the inside of the curve during the turning process, and in the application, the displacement of the two groups of wheels 14 on the outside of the curve is made greater than that of the two groups of wheels 14 on the inside of the curve by adjusting the distance between the outer ends of the two groups of traction rods 17 on the front and back sides. Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the wheels 14 can actively rotate to the side of the turning direction of the vehicle head 1 during the turning process and reduce the probability of wheel 14 skidding on the ground, the steering driving part in the application includes two groups of first telescopic rods 22 arranged in front and back, the left ends of the two groups of first telescopic rods 22 are fixed on the same group of first driving rings 21, the first driving ring 21 is sleeved with a first driving pin 27, the first driving pin 27 is arranged up and down and has a first driving rod 28 fixed at the upper end, the first driving rod 28 is arranged in front and back, and the front and back ends of the first driving rod 28 are respectively connected with vertically arranged first connecting rods 29 along the radial direction, the front and back two groups of first connecting rods 29 are respectively inserted on and rotationally connected with horizontally arranged second connecting rods 30, and the left ends of the front and back two groups of second connecting rods 30 are respectively fixedly connected with the front and back two groups of wheel supports 16.

[0045] During the turning process of the modular vehicle body 2, although the direction of the wheels 14 arranged below the front axle 3 can be consistent with the moving direction of the vehicle head 1 in the driving of the two groups of first telescopic rods 22, the turning radius is relatively large. If the wheels 14 arranged below the rear axle 4 can swing in the opposite direction of the wheels 14 arranged below the front axle 3, the turning radius of the modular vehicle body 2 can be effectively reduced.

[0046] In order to realize the above function, the steering driving part in the application further includes two groups of second telescopic rods 23, the right ends of the two groups of second telescopic rods 23 are fixed on the same second driving ring 31, the second driving ring 31 is sleeved with a second driving pin 32, the second driving pin 32 is arranged up and down and has a second driving rod 33 fixed at the upper end, the second driving rod 33 is arranged in front and back, and the front and back ends of the second driving rod 33 are respectively connected with vertically arranged third connecting rods 34 along the radial direction, the front and back two groups of third connecting rods 34 are respectively inserted on and rotationally connected with horizontally arranged fourth connecting rods 35, and the right ends of the front and back two groups of third connecting rods 34 are respectively fixedly connected with the front and back two groups of wheel supports 16. The left ends of the two groups of second telescopic rods 23 are respectively sleeved with two groups of inner connecting pins 19 and are rotationally connected with the inner connecting pins 19.

[0047] In the embodiment, the first telescopic rod 22 includes a catheter 36 with one end open, a guide rod 37 is coaxially inserted in the open end of the catheter 36, and the catheter 36 is slidingly connected with the guide rod 37. A damping spring 38 is further arranged between the inner end surface of the guide rod 37 and the inner bottom surface of the catheter 36. The first telescopic rod 22 and the second telescopic rod 23 have the same structure.

[0048] When the modular vehicle body 2 is in a curve, the right ends of the two groups of first telescopic rods 22 move away from the center of the curve, and the first telescopic rods 22 pull the first driving rods 28 through the first driving pins 27; the first driving rods 28 drive the first connecting rods 29 to move outward, and the second connecting rods 30 connected with the first connecting rods 29 rotate and drive the wheel supports 16 to rotate outward under the drive of the first connecting rods 29; the wheel shafts are directed to the center of the curve;

[0049] Similarly, the left ends of the two groups of second telescopic rods 23 move away from the center of the curve, and the third connecting rods 34 move outward, and the fourth connecting rods 35 connected with the third connecting rods 34 rotate and drive the wheel supports 16 to rotate under the drive of the third connecting rods 34; the center of the curve moves to the direction of the wheels 14, that is, the turning radius of the modular vehicle body 2 is reduced;

[0050] However, when the modular vehicle body 2 passes through the curve, if the moving speed of the modular vehicle body 2 does not change, due to the too small turning radius, the centrifugal force will increase, and due to the large load on the upper part of the modular vehicle body 2, the probability of the body inclination of the modular vehicle body 2 when passing through the curve will increase, in order to further reduce the inclination of the modular vehicle body 2 and ensure the safety of transportation;
