[0022] Preferably, the surface of the limiting plate is provided with an inclined surface.

[0023] The effect achieved by the above components is that after the inclined surface of the limit plate contacts the fixed track, the fixed track will squeeze the inclined surface of the limit plate, and the limit plate will automatically slide along the changing track due to the squeezing, thereby facilitating operation.

[0029] The effect achieved by the above components is: the movement of the strip plate will drive the extension rod to move, and the extension rod will first rest against the surface of the driven gear. As the first electric push rod continues to extend, the pull plates at both ends of the changing track will be blocked by the strip plate. At this time, the lower end of the barrier rod will be lower than the central axis of the roller located at a high place. Therefore, when the subsequent track changing operation is performed, the barrier rods at both ends of the changing track can prevent the roller from sliding from the surface of the changing track, causing the transport vehicle to fall.

[0047] A swivel 12 is rotatably connected in the bracket 11, and a transmission rod 13 is vertically slidably passed through the swivel 12. A driven gear 14 is fixedly assembled at the lower end of the swivel 12. A stepper motor 15 is fixedly assembled on the surface of the bracket 11. The output end of the stepper motor 15 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 16. The driven gear 14 is meshed with the driving gear 16. A first electric push rod 17 is fixedly assembled on the surface of the bracket 11. A snap ring 18 is fixedly assembled at the output end of the first electric push rod 17. A card plate 19 is fixedly assembled at the upper end of the transmission rod 13. The card plate 19 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the snap ring 18 to control the extension of the output end of the first electric push rod 17. The snap ring 18 will drive the card plate 19 to move upward. The card plate 19 The movement will drive the transmission rod 13 to move, and the movement of the transmission rod 13 will drive the changing track 4, so that the changing track 4 is higher than the fixed track 2. Then the stepper motor 15 is turned on, and the output end of the stepper motor 15 rotates to drive the driving gear 16 to rotate. The rotation of the driving gear 16 will drive the driven gear 14 to rotate. The swivel 12 follows the driven gear 14 to rotate, which will drive the transmission rod 13 to rotate. The transmission rod 13 will drive the changing track 4 to rotate, thereby adjusting the direction of the changing track 4. When the changing track 4 is aligned with the appropriate track, the stepper motor 15 is turned off, and the output end of the first electric push rod 17 is controlled to retract. At this time, the changing track 4 will move downward until the changing track 4 is stably aligned with the fixed track 2.

[0048] The outer circumferential surface of the retaining ring 18 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 20, and the surface of the bracket 11 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 21. The connecting plate 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 20. The rotating plate 20 and the connecting plate 21 cooperate to limit the position of the retaining ring 18, preventing the retaining ring 18 from rotating with the retaining plate 19 and causing damage to the first electric push rod 17.

[0049] The output end of the second electric push rod 22 is fixedly equipped with a round tube 23, and the inner wall of the round tube 23 is slidably connected with a slider 24. One end of the slider 24 is fixedly equipped with a limit plate 25, and the limit plate 25 slides through the changing track 4. The surface of the fixed track 2 is provided with a limit groove 26 that is compatible with the limit plate 25. The movement of the output end of the second electric push rod 22 will drive the movement of the round tube 23, and the movement of the round tube 23 will drive the movement of the slider 24. The movement of the slider 24 will drive the limit plate 25 to move. When the limit plate 25 is inserted into the inner wall of the limit groove 26, the limit groove 26 and the limit plate 25 cooperate to limit the position of the changing track 4.

[0050] A positioning groove 27 is formed on the surface of the limiting plate 25 , and a positioning block 28 adapted to the positioning groove 27 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the limiting groove 26 . The positioning groove 27 and the positioning block 28 engage to prevent the limiting plate 25 from sliding further downward.

[0051] A first spring 29 is fixedly assembled on the inner wall of the circular tube 23, and one end of the first spring 29 is fixedly connected to the slider 24. When the limit plate 25 is aligned with the limit groove 26, the first spring 29 will immediately extend, and the slider 24 will slide with the help of the elastic force of the first spring 29. The sliding of the slider 24 will cause the limit plate 25 to automatically insert into the inner wall of the limit groove 26.

[0052] The surface of the limiting plate 25 is provided with an inclined surface. When the inclined surface of the limiting plate 25 contacts the fixed track 2, the fixed track 2 will squeeze the inclined surface of the limiting plate 25. The limiting plate 25 will automatically slide along the changing track 4 due to the squeezing, thereby facilitating operation.

[0053] The upper end of the baffle rod 30 is fixedly connected to the pull plate 31, and the second spring 32 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the baffle rod 30. The two ends of the second spring 32 are respectively fixedly connected to the pull plate 31 and the changing track 4. After the roller 8 contacts the baffle rod 30, the roller 8 will squeeze the baffle rod 30, and the baffle rod 30 will slide upward along the changing track 4. The sliding of the baffle rod 30 will drive the pull plate 31 to slide. At this time, the second spring 32 will pull the pull plate 31 with the help of elastic force, thereby increasing the resistance of the baffle rod 30 to the roller 8.

[0054] A damping plate 33 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the change track 4 , and the damping plate 33 slides through the pull plate 31 . The damping plate 33 can damp the pull plate 31 , thereby preventing the blocking rod 30 from bouncing back and forth due to the elastic force of the first spring 29 .

[0055] The surface of the transmission rod 13 is slidingly covered with a strip plate 34, which is located above the pull plate 31. The cross-section of the strip plate 34 is "H"-shaped, and the upper surface of the strip plate 34 is fixedly equipped with an extension rod 35. The movement of the strip plate 34 will drive the extension rod 35 to move, and the extension rod 35 will first rest against the surface of the driven gear 14. As the first electric push rod 17 continues to extend, the pull plates 31 at both ends of the changing track 4 will be blocked by the strip plate 34. At this time, the lower end of the blocking rod 30 will be lower than the central axis of the roller 8 located at a high place. Therefore, when the track changing operation is performed subsequently, the blocking rods 30 at both ends of the changing track 4 can prevent the roller 8 from sliding from the surface of the changing track 4, causing the transport vehicle 7 to fall.

[0056] Its overall working principle is that when the transport vehicle 7 is used, the drive motor 10 is turned on, and the rotation of the output end of the drive motor 10 drives the transmission gear 9 to rotate, and the transmission gear 9 moves along the surface of the first rack 3, thereby driving the sliding frame 6 to move, and the sliding frame 6 drives the transport vehicle 7 to move. When the transport vehicle 7 needs to change tracks, the drive motor 10 is controlled to move the sliding frame 6 to the redirecting track 4. In this process, since the redirecting track 4 can be against the surface of the fixed track 2, the distance between the first rack 3 and the second rack 5 is small, so that the drive gear can be normally transitioned to the second rack 5, and then the roller 8 The pull plate 31 is then pulled back to the stopper 33 and the second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33. The second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33 and the second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33. The second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33 and the second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33. The second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33 and the second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33. The second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33 and the second spring 32 is pulled back to the stopper 33.

[0057] When the transport vehicle 7 stops, the output end of the second electric push rod 22 is controlled to retract, and the second electric push rod 22 will drive the round tube 23 to move. The slider 24 follows the movement of the round tube 23 to make the limit plate 25 slide out from the inner wall of the limit groove 26. Then the output end of the first electric push rod 17 is controlled to extend, and the clamping ring 18 will drive the card plate 19 to move upward. The movement of the card plate 19 will drive the transmission rod 13 to move. The movement of the transmission rod 13 will drive the changing track 4, so that the changing track 4 is higher than the fixed track 2. In this process, the strip plate 34 will move in the direction close to the driven gear 14. The movement of the strip plate 34 will drive the extension rod 35 to move. The extension rod 35 will first rest on the surface of the driven gear 14. As the first electric push rod 17 continues to extend The pull plates 31 at both ends of the changing track 4 will be blocked by the strip plates 34. At this time, the lower end of the blocking rod 30 will be lower than the central axis of the roller 8 located at the higher position. Therefore, when the track changing operation is performed later, the blocking rods 30 at both ends of the changing track 4 can prevent the roller 8 from sliding off the surface of the changing track 4, causing the transport vehicle 7 to fall. Then, the stepping motor 15 is turned on and the output end of the second electric push rod 22 is controlled to extend to reset the limit plate 25. At the same time, the rotation of the output end of the stepping motor 15 will drive the driving gear 16 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving gear 16 will drive the driven gear 14 to rotate. The swivel 12 follows the rotation of the driven gear 14 to drive the transmission rod 13 to rotate, and the transmission rod 13 will drive the changing track 4 to rotate. The turning plate 20 and the connecting plate 21 cooperate to limit the position of the clamping ring 18, thereby preventing the clamping ring 18 from rotating with the clamping plate 19 and causing damage to the first electric push rod 17. When the turning track 4 is aligned with the appropriate track, the stepping motor 15 is turned off to control the output end of the first electric push rod 17 to retract. At this time, the turning track 4 will move downward. During this process, the turning track 4 will drive the limit plate 25 to move, and the inclined surface of the limit plate 25 will contact the fixed track 2. The fixed track 2 will squeeze the inclined surface of the limit plate 25. The limit plate 25 will automatically slide along the turning track 4 due to the squeezing, and the sliding of the limit plate 25 will drive the slider 24 to slide along the inner wall of the round tube 23. When the slider 24 moves, the sliding of the slider 24 will compress the first spring 29. When the limit plate 25 is aligned with the limit groove 26, the first spring 29 will immediately extend, and the slider 24 will slide with the elastic force of the first spring 29. The sliding of the slider 24 will cause the limit plate 25 to automatically insert into the inner wall of the limit groove 26. The limit groove 26 and the limit plate 25 cooperate to limit the position of the change track 4. At the same time, the positioning groove 27 will engage with the positioning block 28 to prevent the limit plate 25 from sliding further downward, avoiding the change track 4 from being misaligned with the fixed track 2 due to the vibration generated when the transport vehicle 7 is traveling, so that the change track 4 is stably aligned with the fixed track 2. After that, the transport vehicle 7 can be stably moved to the other fixed track 2 to complete the track changing operation.
