Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automotive painting production lines, and more specifically, to a novel non-powered track for turning and dipping. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the turning and dipping conveying system, the non-powered track for turning and dipping is used to support and convey the turning and dipping carriers. The structure of the existing non-powered track for turning and dipping is as Figures 1 to 5 shown. The main profile of the track is a channel steel with an n-shaped cross-section, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. Because the strength of the channel steel itself is insufficient, a plurality of track feet need to be arranged at equal intervals in the groove at the bottom of the channel steel. The track feet are usually welded by cross-shaped inserts. Therefore, the existing track not only has the problem of a large amount of welding, but also has the problem of easy deformation of the track due to the low strength of the channel steel. At the same time, because the surface of the channel steel is flat, if there are sundries on the track, during the movement of the turning and dipping carrier along the channel steel, the sundries will fall into the groove and pollute the bath liquid. Therefore, how to improve the strength of the track body, reduce the amount of welding, and at the same time prevent the sundries on the surface of the track from being brought into the groove during the movement of the turning and dipping carrier is the technical problem to be solved by the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] The following further describes the present invention in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it according to the description in the specification.

[0029] It should be understood that terms such as "having", "comprising", and "including" as used herein do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0030] As Figures 6 - 10 shown, the present invention provides a new type of non-powered track for turning and dipping, including: a special-shaped track 1, having a non-N-shaped cross-section structure, for carrying the turning and dipping vehicle and preventing sundries from falling into the tank;

[0031] a support member 2, for connecting the special-shaped track 1 to the bracket 100 on the tank edge;

[0032] fasteners, for connecting between the special-shaped track 1 and the support member 2, and between the support member 2 and the bracket 100 on the tank edge.

[0033] The fasteners are usually composed of nuts and bolts, or nuts and screws, so as to reduce the amount of welding and enable detachable connection between structures. The fasteners can also be any other commercially available products or prior arts that can achieve the connection between the special-shaped track 1 and the support member 2, and between the support member 2 and the bracket 100.

[0034] Through the design of the above structure, the support member 2 adopts a non-welded modular design, and the track body is changed from an N-shaped channel steel to a special-shaped track, thereby preventing sundries from falling into the tank. The detachable (such as screwed connection) installation method is realized between the support member 2 and the special-shaped track 1 through fasteners, making the installation position of the support member 2 more flexible and adjustable, thus ensuring the installation accuracy and quality of the track, and the relative distance between the support members 2 can also be adjusted as needed to improve the strength of the special-shaped track 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the special-shaped track 1 is composed of a bearing plane 11 and a first plate 12 arranged on the side wall of the bearing plane 11. The bearing plane 11 is horizontally arranged for carrying the turning and dipping vehicle. The first plate 12 is arranged on the side wall of the bearing plane 11 close to the turning and dipping vehicle. The first plate 12 is normal to the bearing plane 11, and the top surface of the first plate 12 extends from the top surface of the bearing plane 11 in a direction away from the bearing plane 11. Usually, the first plate 12 is perpendicular to the bearing plane 11 and is arranged along the length direction of the special-shaped track 1, so that the first plate 12 and the bearing plane 11 form an L-shaped cross-section. Thus, sundries on the bearing plane 11 are prevented from falling into the tank by the first plate 12, and the support member 2 is connected to the first plate 12 and / or the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11 through fasteners.

[0036] According to different embodiments, the support member 2 can be connected to the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11; it can also abut against the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11 and be connected to the first plate 12; it can also be connected to both the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11 and the first plate 12. The specific connection position and connection method can be adjusted as needed.

[0037] When the present invention is installed, the support member 2 can be first connected to the special-shaped track 1 through screws and nuts, and then the support member 2 can be installed on the bracket 100 through the adjusting screw.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to prevent sundries from falling from the side of the bearing plane 11 where the first plate 12 is not provided, and at the same time, in order not to require distinguishing the installation direction when installing the special-shaped track 1 (the first plate 12 needs to be located on the side close to the turnover immersion carrier), the special-shaped track 1 further includes a second plate 13, which is arranged on the side wall of the bearing plane 11 away from the turnover immersion carrier. The second plate 13 is normal to the bearing plane 11 and parallel to the first plate 12. Usually, the first plate 12 and the second plate 13 are symmetrically arranged. The top surface of the second plate 13 extends from the top surface of the bearing plane 11 in a direction away from the bearing plane 11. In the same connection manner as described above, the support member 2 can be connected to the first plate 12, and / or the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11, and / or the second plate 13 through fasteners.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection between the support member 2 and the first plate 12, the bottom surface of the first plate 12 extends from the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11 in a direction away from the bearing plane 11. In the same connection manner as described above, the support member 2 can be connected to the first plate 12, and / or the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11 through fasteners. The connection part of the support member 2 and the first plate 12 is located below the bearing plane 11, and the support member 2 is located on the side of the first plate 12 away from the turnover immersion carrier.

[0040] Furthermore, because the second plate 13 is symmetric with the first plate 12, the bottom surface of the second plate 13 also extends from the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11 in a direction away from the bearing plane 11, thereby making the cross-section of the special-shaped track 1 in an "H" shape, as Figures 6 - 8 shown. The support member 2 is connected to the first plate 12, and / or the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11, and / or the second plate 13 through fasteners. The connection part of the support member 2 and the second plate 13 is located below the bearing plane 11, and the support member 2 is usually located between the first plate 12 and the second plate 13. Thus, when the fasteners are loose, fall off or are damaged, the support member 2 can still support the bottom surface of the bearing plane 11, and the position of the support member 2 is limited by the first plate 12 and the second plate 13.

[0041] Furthermore, the support member 2 is composed of a groove-edge support plate 21 and a third plate 22. The bottom surface of the groove-edge support plate 21 is usually horizontally arranged on the bracket 100 and is connected to the bracket 100 through fasteners. The fasteners can be composed of bolts and nuts, as Figure 8 shown.

[0042] The third plate 22 is disposed on the groove support plate 21 and extends from the top surface of the groove support plate 21 in a direction away from the groove support plate 21. The third plate 22 can be disposed on the top surface of the groove support plate 21 in a "丄" shape; the third plate 22 can also be a cross plate disposed on the top surface of the groove support plate 21; or it can be disposed on the side wall of the groove support plate 21.

[0043] As in the aforementioned embodiment, the shape and structure of the third plate 22 can be adaptively modified according to different connection methods, and the third plate 22 can be connected to the load-bearing plane 11, and / or the first plate 12, and / or the second plate 13 through fasteners.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to make the force on the support member 2 more uniform, the support member 2 further includes a fourth plate 23, which is arranged on the groove support plate 21 (or the side wall opposite to the third plate 22) and extends from the top surface of the groove support plate 21 to the direction away from the groove support plate 21. The fourth plate 23 is symmetrically arranged with the third plate 22, so that the support member 2 can be "U"-shaped, such as Figure 8 As shown, similar to the previous embodiment, the third plate 22 and the fourth plate 23 are generally located between the first plate 12 and the second plate 13 to support the load-bearing plane 11 in the event that the fasteners become loose or damaged. Similar to the previous embodiment, the fourth plate 23 can be connected to the load-bearing plane 11, and / or the first plate 12, and / or the second plate 13 via fasteners.

[0045] Although fasteners are used to achieve a detachable connection between the support members 2 and the special-shaped track 1, which can more accurately adjust the number and spacing of the support members 2, thereby improving the strength of the special-shaped track 1, this will consume a large number of support members 2. In order to reduce the use of support members 2 while ensuring the strength of the special-shaped track 1, we further provide an implementation method.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first plate 12 and the second plate 13 are extended from the bearing plane 11 in both the upward and downward directions, so that the cross section of the special-shaped track 1 is "H" shaped. Figure 8 As shown. The two inner side walls of the first plate 12 and the second plate 13 facing each other form a placement groove with the bottom surface of the load-bearing plane 11. A plurality of first tie bars 5 and second tie bars 6 are arranged in the placement groove. The two ends of the first tie bars 5 are respectively connected to the two inner side walls of the first plate 12 and the second plate 13 facing each other. The second tie bars 6 are perpendicular to the first tie bars 5 and extend along the length direction of the special-shaped track 1. The second tie bars 6 pass through the first tie bars 5, so that two adjacent first tie bars 5 are connected by the second tie bars 6. Figure 11 By providing the first tie bars 5 and the second tie bars 6, the strength of the special-shaped track 1 can be greatly enhanced, thereby reducing the amount of support members 2 used.

[0047] Further, in order to prevent the first tension rib 5 and the second tension rib 6 from affecting the installation of the support member 2 on the special-shaped track 1, a first groove 3 extending in the direction of the groove edge support plate 21 is provided at the top of the third plate 22. A second groove 4 extending in the direction of the groove edge support plate 21 is provided at the top of the fourth plate 23, as Figure 12 shown. When the support member 2 needs to straddle the first tension rib 5, the first tension rib 5 can be placed in the first groove 3 and the second groove 4, so as to prevent the first tension rib 5 from affecting the installation of the support member 2.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0049] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communicable with each other; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the specification and the embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those who are familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the examples shown and described here.
