[0043] The technical solution of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] like Figure 1 The linear adjustable slide device shown comprises a fixed slide 1, a first adjustment motor 2, a first screw rod 3, a first sliding ring 4, a first pulley 5, a first limit plate 6, a sliding side plate 7, a first feed port 8 and a first guide plate 9;
[0046] The fixed slide 1 is a slide with two ends open, which is surrounded by a slide bottom and slide sides on both sides. The inlet end of the fixed slide 1 is higher than the outlet end, so that the goods to be transported move from the inlet end to the outlet end under the action of gravity.
[0047] The first feed port 8 is a slideway arranged at the inlet end of the fixed slideway 1, and the first feed port 8 is connected to the fixed slideway 1 through-connection;
[0048] A flange is provided on the upper edge of the side of the fixed slideway 1;
[0049] A first limiting plate 6 is mounted on the flange of the fixed slide 1, and two limiting through holes are symmetrically arranged on the first limiting plate 6; the length of the limiting through hole corresponds to the adjustable range of the slide width of the linear adjustable slide device; the two limiting through holes are symmetrical about the central axis of the fixed slide 1.
[0050] The first limiting plate 6 is provided with a first adjusting motor 2, the output end of the first adjusting motor 2 is connected to one end of the first screw rod 3, the other end of the first screw rod 3 is connected to the first pulley 5, and the first adjusting motor 2 is used to drive the first screw rod 3 and the first pulley 5 to rotate;
[0051] Two sliding side plates 7 are placed vertically on the bottom surface of the slideway, and the top edges of the sliding side plates 7 are provided with flanges, and the flanges of the two sliding side plates 7 are respectively provided with first sliding rings 4, and the first sliding rings 4 pass through the corresponding limiting through holes on the first limiting plate 6 and are respectively threadedly sleeved on the first screw rod 3; the inner threads of the first sliding rings 4 on both sides are opposite, and when the screw rod rotates, it drives the first sliding rings 4 to translate in opposite or reverse directions, so that the sliding side plates 7 on both sides corresponding to the first sliding rings 4 translate in opposite or reverse directions, thereby realizing the adjustment of the width of the slideway.
[0052] One end of the two first guide plates 9 is hinged to both sides of the entrance end of the first feed port 8, and the other end of the two first guide plates 9 extends into the space enclosed by the sliding side plates 7 on both sides, so that the goods to be transported can enter the first feed port 8 smoothly.
[0053] The working principle of this embodiment is:
[0054] First, the maximum width of the placement of the goods during transportation along the slideway is determined, and the spacing between the sliding side plates on both sides is adjusted to the maximum width by the first adjustment motor. This is to prevent the goods from rotating on the slideway surface during transportation;
[0055] Generally, the goods to be transported will slide into the first feed port in different placement methods. When the goods to be transported arrive at the second feed port, the goods to be transported will contact the first guide plate and the subsequent variable slide, and will be adjusted to the set placement method due to the adjusted slide width and gravity, so that the goods to be transported enter the subsequent slide according to the set placement method and slide out of the slide in the same placement method.
[0056] The maximum width of the adjustable slide is generally the length of the cargo diagonal, and the minimum width is the minimum width allowed for the cargo to pass through.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment, when the linear adjustable slide device cannot be adjusted by a single screw rod, the utility model further includes a second limit plate 10, a second screw rod 11, a belt 12 and a second pulley 13 on the basis of embodiment 1;
[0059] The second limiting plate 10 is also mounted on the flange on the side of the slide, parallel to the first limiting plate 6; two limiting through holes are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the second limiting plate 10; the second limiting plate 10 is parallel to the limiting through holes on the first limiting plate 6 and has the same size.
[0060] The second screw rod 11 is arranged on the second limiting plate 10, the second belt pulley 13 is arranged at one end of the second screw rod 11, and the second belt pulley 13 and the first belt pulley 5 are on the same side of the fixed slideway 1; the first belt pulley 5 drives the second belt pulley 13 to rotate through the belt 12;
[0061] A second sliding ring 14 is also provided on the flanges of the sliding side plates 7 on both sides at the corresponding positions of the second limiting plate 10. The second sliding ring 14 passes through the limiting through holes of the second limiting plate 10 and is respectively threadedly sleeved on the second screw rod 11. The inner threads of the second sliding rings 14 on both sides are opposite.
[0062] The working principle of this embodiment is:
[0063] When the distance of the slideway is too long, if the single screw rod in Example 1 is continued to be used for adjustment, the sliding side plate will be deformed, which will affect the transmission work.
[0064] Similar to Example 1, the maximum width of the placement of the goods during transportation along the slideway is first determined, and the spacing between the sliding side plates on both sides is adjusted to the maximum width through the first adjustment motor. The purpose of this is to prevent the goods from rotating on the slideway surface during the transportation process; the difference is that the first pulley drives the second pulley through the belt, and the two screws rotate at the same speed, driving the sliding side plates to run to the corresponding position. The transportation operation is then started.
[0065] Example 3
[0066] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the adjustable slideway device of the utility model also has a curved shape.
[0067] The curved adjustable slide device includes a spiral slide 15, a third screw rod 16, an L-shaped slider 17, a slider guide rail 18, a spiral side plate 19, a connecting plate 20, a connecting rod 21, a second adjustment motor 22, a second feed port 23 and a second guide plate 24.
[0068] The spiral slide 15 is a slide with two ends open and surrounded by a curved bottom surface and curved side surfaces on both sides. The inlet end of the spiral slide 15 is horizontally higher than the outlet end, so that the goods to be transported move from the inlet end to the outlet end under the action of gravity; and the goods to be transported rotate a certain angle.
[0069] The second feed port 23 is disposed at the inlet end of the spiral slideway 15, and the second feed port 23 is connected to the spiral slideway 15;
[0070] The curved bottom surface is a spatial curved surface woven structure composed of rigid rods, and the connection points between the rods are rigidly connected.
[0071] The curved side surfaces on both sides are respectively provided with side plate through holes;
[0072] Two parallel spiral side plates 19 are vertically placed on the curved bottom surface, and the inner side surfaces of the spiral side plates 19 on both sides and the curved bottom surface form an adjustable slideway;
[0073] One end of the two second guide plates 24 is hinged to both sides of the entrance end of the second feed port 23, and the other end of the two second guide plates 24 extends into the space enclosed by the two spiral side plates 19, so as to allow the goods to be transported to enter the second feed port 23 smoothly.
[0074] The connecting plates 20 on both sides are respectively located on both sides of the outside of the spiral slideway 15 , and the connecting plates 20 on both sides are fixedly connected to the corresponding spiral side plates 19 through the corresponding connecting rods 21 .
[0075] One end of the connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the spiral side plate 19 , and the other end of the connecting rod 21 passes through the through hole of the side plate and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 20 .
[0076] In order to maintain the stability of the spiral side plate 19, the connecting rods 21 may be multiple. Figure 3-Figure 5 The number of connecting rods 21 on both sides of the middle spiral side plate 19 is one or three.
[0077] The vertical sides of the L-shaped sliders 17 on both sides are fixedly connected to the connecting plates 20 on the same side respectively;
[0078] The third screw rod 16 passes through the vertical edges of the two L-shaped sliders 17 and is connected to the output end of the second adjusting motor 22. The connection between the third screw rod 16 and the two L-shaped sliders 17 is a threaded connection, and the inner threads of the connection on both sides are opposite; the horizontal edges of the L-shaped sliders 17 on both sides are slidably connected to the slider guide rails 18.
[0079] The second adjustment motor 22 drives the third screw rod 16 to rotate, thereby driving the spiral side plates 19 on both sides to move in opposite directions or reverse directions, thereby adjusting the width of the slideway.
[0080] The following is the working principle of the embodiment:
[0081] The structure in this embodiment is to enable the goods to be transported to turn during the transportation process, and in this embodiment, the goods are turned 90 degrees; similar to Example 1, the maximum width of the placement method along the slide direction during this cargo transportation is first determined, and then this maximum width is used as the width of the adjustable slide. The third screw is driven by the second adjusting motor to rotate to make the L-shaped sliders on both sides move on the slider guide rails. The L-shaped slider drives the spiral side plates to move through the connecting plate and the connecting rod, and finally the spacing between the spiral side plates on both sides is adjusted to this maximum width.
[0082] When the goods to be transported do not reach the second feed port in the set arrangement, the goods to be transported will contact the second guide plate and the subsequent variable slide, and will be readjusted to the set arrangement, so that the goods to be transported enter the slide according to the width of the slide, and slide out of the slide in the arrangement after turning 90 degrees.
