[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] First, refer to Figure 1-Figure 11 The gravity slide 100 according to the second embodiment of the utility model is briefly described.

[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the gravity slide 100 includes a slide frame 40, a sliding guide rail 20, a tray 50 and a deceleration mechanism 10. The sliding guide rail 20 is arranged on the slide frame 40 and extends downwardly inclined along a first direction. The tray 50 is slidably arranged on the sliding guide rail 20. The deceleration mechanism 10 is used to decelerate the tray 50 when it slides along the slide rail.

[0045] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 The deceleration mechanism 10 for a gravity slide 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model is described.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the deceleration mechanism 10 for the gravity slide 100 includes: a mounting bracket 11 and a damping member 13, the mounting bracket 11 is arranged along a first direction (such as Figure 1 The mounting bracket 11 is inclined and extends downward (in the front-to-back direction as shown) and is in the same inclination direction as the sliding guide rail 20. The mounting bracket 11 is suitable for being fixed on the slide frame 40. The damping member 13 is fixed on the mounting bracket 11. There are multiple damping members 13 and they are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 11. The damping member 13 is suitable for contacting with the tray 50.

[0047] In this embodiment, a mounting bracket 11 and a damping member 13 are provided in the deceleration mechanism 10. The mounting bracket 11 extends downwardly in a first direction and is in the same direction as the inclination of the sliding guide rail 20. A plurality of damping members 13 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 11 and fixed on the mounting bracket 11, so that the plurality of damping members 13 can be arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the sliding guide rail 20. When the tray 50 slides along the sliding guide rail 20, the plurality of damping members 13 sequentially decelerate the tray 50 in the sliding direction of the tray 50, so that the tray 50 can maintain a relatively stable sliding speed. For example, the number of damping members 13 can be two, three, four, five, six, and so on.

[0048] It can be understood that during the sliding of the tray 50, the speed of the tray 50 becomes faster and faster under the action of its own gravity, and the impact force becomes greater and greater. In this embodiment, a plurality of damping members 13 are arranged at intervals along the inclined direction of the sliding guide rail 20, which can play the role of multiple deceleration of the tray 50, so that when the tray 50 slides to the stop position, the tray 50 has a smaller speed under the deceleration action of multiple damping members 13, so that the impact force of the tray 50 is greatly reduced, thereby greatly reducing the damage to the structure of the slide frame 40 when the tray 50 impacts the slide frame 40, so that the slide frame 40 can maintain a good structural state, thereby making the structure of the gravity slide 100 more stable, reducing the maintenance frequency of the gravity slide 100, and the slide frame 40 and the sliding guide rail 20 can better cooperate with the sliding operation of the tray 50, so that the gravity slide 100 can operate more stably and durably.

[0049] In this embodiment, multiple damping members 13 are fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 11 at intervals, which has a simple structure, good integration, and convenient assembly. It is understandable that when the tray 50 slides along the sliding guide rail 20, the tray 50 moves and cooperates with the sliding guide rail 20 and contacts the damping member 13. The relative positions of the damping member 13 and the sliding guide rail 20 need to be roughly consistent to reduce the possibility that the damping member 13 is arranged too high and lifts the tray 50, causing the tray 50 to separate from the slide rail assembly, and then causing the tray 50 to derail or get stuck.

[0050] In this embodiment, multiple damping members 13 are installed on the mounting bracket 11, and the mounting bracket 11 extends downward along a first direction and is the same as the inclination direction of the sliding guide rail 20, so that the multiple damping members 13 installed on the mounting bracket 11 can easily maintain a relatively consistent positional relationship with the sliding guide rail, so that when the tray 50 passes through each damping member 13, the tray 50 can maintain a good matching relationship with the sliding guide rail 20 and the damping member 13, so that the tray 50 can stably and reliably move along the sliding guide rail 20, greatly reducing the probability of the tray 50 derailing or getting stuck, so that the damping member 13 can stably slow down the sliding of the tray 50, so that the tray 50 can run more smoothly, and then the gravity slide 100 can operate more stably.

[0051] According to the deceleration mechanism 10 for the gravity slide 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting a mounting bracket 11 and a damping member 13, the mounting bracket 11 extends along a first direction and is the same as the inclination direction of the sliding guide rail 20, and a plurality of damping members 13 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 11 and fixed on the mounting bracket 11, and the damping member 13 contacts the tray 50, so that the tray 50 can obtain a good deceleration and buffering effect during the sliding process along the sliding guide rail 20, so that the tray 50 can slide more smoothly and the gravity slide 100 can operate more stably.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the speed reduction mechanism 10 may further include a support seat 14 , the mounting bracket 11 is fixed on the support seat 14 , and the support seat 14 is suitable for being detachably connected to the slide frame 40 .

[0053] In this embodiment, a support seat 14 is provided, and the support seat 14 is detachably connected to the slide frame 40, and the mounting bracket 11 is fixed on the support seat 14, which has a simple structure and is convenient for mounting and fixing the mounting bracket 11 on the slide frame 40. For example, the support seat 14 and the slide frame 40 can be fastened and connected by fasteners, and the support seat 14 and the slide frame 40 can also be connected by flange connection, mortise and tenon connection, snap connection, pin connection, etc.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the slide frame 40 may include a Figure 4 The support seat 14 may include: a first mounting plate 141, a second mounting plate 142 and a plurality of first fasteners 143, the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the beam 41, the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142 are fixedly connected by a plurality of first fasteners 143, and the mounting bracket 11 is connected to at least one of the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142.

[0055] In this embodiment, the support seat 14 is provided with a first mounting plate 141, a second mounting plate 142 and a plurality of first fasteners 143, the mounting bracket 11 is connected to at least one of the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142, the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142 are clamped and fixed on the crossbeam 41 by a plurality of first fasteners 143, so that the mounting bracket 11 is installed and fixed to the crossbeam 41 of the slide frame 40, the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142 can have a larger connection and fixing surface with the crossbeam 41, so that the support seat 14 can be firmly connected to the crossbeam 41.

[0056] The support base 14 is provided with a plurality of first fasteners 143 connected with the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142, so that the support base 14 has good structural strength, so that the mounting bracket 11 can be stably and reliably fixed on the slide frame 40 through the support base 14, so that the mounting bracket 11 can stably maintain the tilt angle, and then the damping member 13 can stably and well contact the tray 50 for deceleration operation. The tilt angle here refers to the angle between the extension direction of the mounting bracket 11 and the horizontal plane. For example, the number of the first fasteners 143 can be set to two, three, four, five, six, and so on. The mounting bracket 11 can be connected to the first mounting plate 141, the mounting bracket 11 can also be connected to the second mounting plate 142, and the mounting bracket 11 can also be connected to the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142.

[0057] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the first mounting plate 141 can be connected to the mounting bracket 11, and the first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142 are in the up and down direction (such as Figure 7 The first mounting plate 141 is provided on both sides of the crossbeam 41 in the upper and lower directions shown in the figure. This makes it easier to fix the support seat 14 to the crossbeam 41. The first mounting plate 141 increases the connection area and connection strength between the mounting bracket 11 and the crossbeam 41, so that the mounting bracket 11 can be stably and reliably fixed on the crossbeam 41. Optionally, the first mounting plate 141 and the mounting bracket 11 can be welded to make the connection and fixation between the mounting bracket 11 and the first mounting plate 141 more secure. The first mounting plate 141 can be arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the mounting bracket 11 to meet the installation and fixation requirements of the mounting bracket 11 in the gravity slide 100.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the speed reduction mechanism 10 may further include an adjustment member, which is disposed between the mounting bracket 11 and the support seat 14 and is configured to adjust the height of the mounting bracket 11 and / or the angle between the mounting bracket 11 and the horizontal plane.

[0059] It is understandable that in the structure of the gravity slide 100, when the weight of the tray 50 is different or the damping force of the damping member 13 decreases after long-term use, the deceleration effect of the damping member 13 on the tray 50 cannot reach the expected, the deceleration effect is poor, and it is difficult to meet the deceleration needs of the tray 50. In this embodiment, an adjustment member is provided, and the adjustment member is provided between the mounting bracket 11 and the support seat 14. The adjustment member adjusts the height of the mounting bracket 11, so that the damping member 13 on the mounting bracket 11 can be better in contact with the tray 50, so that the deceleration buffering effect of the damping member 13 on the tray 50 is improved, or the adjustment member can adjust the angle between the mounting bracket 11 and the horizontal plane, so that the inclination angle of the deceleration surface formed by the multiple damping members 13 cooperating with the deceleration of the tray 50 becomes smaller.

[0060] It can be understood that the damping member 13 plays a role of deceleration and buffering when in contact with the tray 50, and also plays a role of sliding support to a certain extent. The inclination angle of the sliding surface formed by the cooperation of multiple damping members 13 changes with the inclination angle of the mounting bracket 11. The angle between the mounting bracket 11 and the horizontal plane can be reduced, so that the sliding surface formed by the multiple damping members 13 is smoother, thereby reducing the gravity component of the tray 50 along the sliding surface, so that the speed of the tray 50 increases more slowly when it slides down, so that a good deceleration effect can be obtained during the sliding process of the tray 50.

[0061] In this embodiment, the adjusting member is arranged between the mounting bracket 11 and the support seat 14, so that it is convenient to arrange the adjusting member and the mounting bracket 11. The height of the mounting bracket 11 at the support seat 14 can be adjusted as needed through the adjusting member. Accordingly, the angle between the mounting bracket 11 and the horizontal plane can be adjusted accordingly as the height of the mounting bracket 11 at the support seat 14 changes, so that the angle between the mounting bracket 11 and the horizontal plane remains unchanged or is adjusted to a suitable angle as needed.

[0062] In some examples of the present invention, the adjusting member may be an adjusting gasket, and the thickness of the adjusting gasket may be variable.

[0063] In this embodiment, the adjusting member is set as an adjusting gasket, which has a simple structure. By changing the thickness of the adjusting gasket, the height of the mounting bracket 11 at the support seat 14 is changed accordingly, and the adjustment is convenient and easy. Of course, the adjusting gasket can also be stacked to increase the overall thickness of the adjusting gasket to meet the adjustment needs.

[0064] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, there may be a plurality of support seats 14 , and the plurality of support seats 14 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and an adjustment member is provided between at least two support seats 14 and the mounting bracket 11 .

[0065] In this embodiment, multiple support seats 14 are provided, so that the mounting bracket 11 can be fixed on the slide frame 40 more stably and reliably, so that the deceleration mechanism 10 can stably decelerate the tray 50. Adjusting members are provided between at least two support seats 14 and the mounting bracket 11, so that when the mounting bracket 11 is adjusted in angle, the mounting bracket 11 can be adjusted in an efficient manner through the adjusting members at the two support seats 14.

[0066] Of course, when the mounting bracket 11 does not need to be adjusted in angle after being assembled to the slide frame 40 through the support seat 14, the support seat 14 may not be provided with an adjusting member. The setting of the adjusting member is reasonably set according to the specific assembly adjustment needs. Here, only one arrangement of the adjusting member when the mounting bracket 11 needs to be adjusted in angle is shown. For example, the number of the support seats 14 can be two, three, four, etc. Preferably, the number of the support seats 14 can be two.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the damping member 13 may include a damping roller 132 , the axis of which extends along the second direction, and the damping roller 132 is in rolling contact with the tray 50 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the damping member 13 is provided with a damping roller 132, and the axis of the damping roller 132 extends along the second direction. The damping roller 132 is in rolling contact with the tray 50. During the sliding process of the tray 50, the damping roller 132 rotates under the action of the tray 50 and generates a damping force to consume the kinetic energy of the tray 50 when it slides down, thereby slowing down the sliding speed of the tray 50. The damping roller 132 has a simple structure and can stably provide damping force, so that the tray 50 can operate smoothly.

[0069] In one example of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the damping member 13 may further include a fixing seat 131 , which is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 11 , and a damping roller 132 is disposed on the fixing seat 131 .

[0070] In this embodiment, the damping member 13 is provided with a fixing seat 131, which is convenient for fixing the damping roller 132 on the mounting bracket 11. The fixing seat 131 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 11, so that it is convenient and easy to assemble the damping member 13 with the mounting bracket 11 or replace and repair the damping member 13. For example, the fixing seat 131 can be fastened to the mounting bracket 11 by a fastener, or the fixing seat 131 can be connected to the mounting bracket 11 by a clamping connection, a flange connection, etc.

[0071] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the fixed seat 131 may be provided with a plurality of baffles 1311, which extend to both ends of the damping roller 132 along the axial direction of the damping roller 132, and the plurality of baffles 1311 may be respectively arranged on both sides of the fixed seat 131 in the radial direction of the damping roller 132. In this way, external debris can be blocked, and larger external debris can be prevented from falling into the rotation space of the damping roller 132 and jamming the damping roller 132, so that the damping roller 132 can operate stably and well for a long time.

[0072] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the speed reduction mechanism 10 may further include a mounting plate 12 , the mounting plate 12 is fixed on the mounting bracket 11 , a fixing seat 131 is disposed on the mounting plate 12 , and the position of the fixing seat 131 relative to the mounting plate 12 along the first direction is adjustable.

[0073] In this embodiment, a mounting plate 12 is provided so that the damping member 13 can be assembled with the mounting bracket 11 more conveniently. The position of the fixing seat 131 relative to the mounting plate 12 along the first direction is adjustable, so that the arrangement position of the damping member 13 on the mounting bracket 11 can be appropriately adjusted as needed. When the mounting bracket 11 and the damping member 13 are assembled in the gravity slide 100, the arrangement positions of the plurality of damping members 13 in the extension direction of the sliding guide rail 20 can be well adjusted, so that the plurality of damping members 13 can cooperate to decelerate the tray 50 at the appropriate sliding position, so that the tray 50 can obtain different deceleration effects, and the damping member 13 can meet the deceleration needs in different scenarios.

[0074] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 7 As shown, the mounting plate 12 may be provided with a plurality of groups of mounting holes arranged along the first direction, and the fixing seat 131 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12 by fasteners passing through any group of mounting holes.

[0075] In this embodiment, a plurality of groups of mounting holes arranged along the first direction are provided on the mounting plate 12, and the fixing seat 131 can be fixed to the mounting plate 12 by cooperating with a plurality of mounting holes in a group through a plurality of fasteners, and the fixing seat 131 can be assembled with a group of mounting holes at a corresponding position on the mounting plate 12 according to the arrangement requirements of the damping member 13, with a simple structure and convenient and easy adjustment. For example, in each group of mounting holes, the number of mounting holes can be two, three, four, etc., and the mounting holes can also be shared among the plurality of groups of mounting holes, so that the arrangement of the plurality of groups of mounting holes can be more compact, and the damping member 13 can be adjusted more finely when adjusting the position.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, there may be multiple mounting brackets 11 , and the multiple mounting brackets 11 are arranged at intervals in the second direction, and each mounting bracket 11 is provided with multiple damping members 13 .

[0077] It is understandable that the tray 50 has a certain width in the second direction. In this embodiment, multiple mounting brackets 11 are arranged at intervals in the second direction, and multiple damping members 13 are provided on each mounting bracket 11, so that the tray 50 can obtain a relatively uniform deceleration effect in the second direction and a sliding support effect of the damping member 13, so that the tray 50 can slide more smoothly along the sliding guide rail 20, and the multiple damping members 13 of the multiple mounting brackets 11 can also play a better deceleration and buffering effect on the tray 50. For example, the number of mounting brackets 11 can be two, three, four, five, six, etc. Preferably, two mounting brackets 11 are provided.

[0078] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 The gravity slide 100 according to the second embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0079] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the gravity slide 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a sliding guide rail 20, a tray 50, a slide frame 40 and a speed reduction mechanism 10 for the gravity slide 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model.

[0080] According to the gravity slide 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting the deceleration mechanism 10 for the gravity slide 100 of the above-mentioned first aspect embodiment, the deceleration mechanism 10 is provided with a mounting bracket 11 and a damping member 13, the mounting bracket 11 extends along a first direction and is the same as the inclination direction of the sliding guide rail 20, a plurality of damping members 13 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 11 and fixed on the mounting bracket 11, the damping member 13 is in contact with the tray 50, so that the tray 50 can obtain a good deceleration and buffering effect during the sliding process along the sliding guide rail 20, so that the tray 50 can slide more smoothly and the gravity slide 100 can operate more stably.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the sliding guide rail 20 may include a guide rail assembly 21 symmetrically arranged in the second direction, and the guide rail assembly 21 may include: a mounting beam 211 and a plurality of support wheels 212, the mounting beam 211 extends obliquely downward along the first direction, and the mounting beam 211 is fixed on the slide frame 40; the plurality of support wheels 212 are rotatably fixed on the mounting beam 211, and are located on the inner side of the mounting beam 211 in the second direction, and the plurality of support wheels 212 are arranged along the extension direction of the mounting beam 211, and the tray 50 is suitable for rolling contact with the support wheels 212.

[0082] In this embodiment, the sliding guide rail 20 is provided with a symmetrically arranged guide rail assembly 21, which can provide a stable and good support for the tray 50 in the second direction, so that the tray 50 can stably slide along the sliding guide rail 20. The guide rail assembly 21 is provided with a mounting beam 211 and a plurality of support wheels 212. The tray 50 and the support wheels 212 are in rolling contact, which can reduce the friction contact area between the tray 50 and the guide rail assembly 21, so that the tray 50 and the sliding guide rail 20 have rolling friction, so that the tray 50 can slide smoothly and steadily on the sliding guide rail 20. The plurality of support wheels 212 are rotatably fixed on the mounting beam 211, with a simple structure, convenient and reliable fixing, so that the guide rail assembly 21 has good integration and is convenient to assemble and arrange.

[0083] Multiple support wheels 212 are arranged on the inner side of the mounting beam 211 in the second direction, where the inner side refers to the opposite side of the two symmetrically arranged mounting beams 211. The tray 50 can be supported on the multiple support wheels 212 arranged on the two mounting beams 211 on both sides of the second direction.

[0084] In the present embodiment, a plurality of support wheels 212 are provided. Specifically, the plurality of support wheels 212 can be closely arranged along the extension direction of the mounting beam 211, so that during the sliding process of the pallet 50, the pallet 50 can always obtain stable support from the plurality of support wheels 212 along the extension direction of the sliding guide rail 20, thereby making the operation of the pallet 50 more stable.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the number of sliding guide rails 20 can be multiple, and the multiple sliding guide rails 20 are arranged at intervals in the up and down directions. The inclination directions of at least two sliding guide rails 20 are opposite. The gravity slide 100 also includes a lifting mechanism 30, which is arranged at both ends of the sliding guide rails 20 in the first direction. The lifting mechanism 30 is used to lift or lower the tray 50 so that the tray 50 moves on at least two sliding guide rails 20.

[0086] It is understandable that in many usage scenarios, the gravity slide 100 often needs to perform bidirectional transportation. In this embodiment, the number of sliding guide rails 20 is set to multiple and the inclination directions of at least two sliding guide rails 20 are opposite, so that the sliding directions of the tray 50 when sliding on the two sliding guide rails 20 with opposite inclination directions are opposite, so that the tray 50 can transport items from one side of the gravity slide 100 to the other side or from the other side to one side, so that the gravity slide 100 can better meet the transportation needs of different items.

[0087] It can be understood that since the sliding guide rail 20 extends downwardly along the first direction, there is a height difference between the two ends of the sliding guide rail 20 in the first direction. After multiple sliding guide rails 20 are arranged in the gravity slide 100, the heights of the two ends of the sliding guide rail 20 in the first direction are often higher. In this embodiment, a lifting mechanism 30 is provided. The lifting mechanism 30 is arranged at the two ends of the sliding guide rail 20 in the first direction and is used to lift or lower the tray 50. When the gravity slide 100 is in operation, the items can be placed on the tray 50 at a lower position, and the tray 50 is then lifted to one end of the corresponding sliding guide rail 20 by the lifting action of the lifting mechanism 30, so that the tray 50 is transported to the other end along the sliding guide rail 20, or the tray 50 can be lifted or lowered after carrying the items at the required height position, so that the gravity slide 100 can be more convenient and easy to take and place during the item transportation process.

[0088] For example, the number of the sliding guide rails 20 can be two, three, four, five, etc. The number of the sliding guide rails 20 can be reasonably set according to usage requirements.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 30 may include: a driving member 31 and a supporting assembly 32 , the driving member 31 drives the supporting assembly 32 to rise or fall, and the supporting assembly 32 has a supporting surface 321 for supporting the tray 50 .

[0090] In this embodiment, a driving member 31 and a supporting assembly 32 are provided in the lifting mechanism 30 to facilitate supporting the tray 50 and performing lifting and lowering operations, thus well meeting the use requirements.

[0091] The following will refer to Figure 1-Figure 11 A gravity slide 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0092] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the gravity slide 100 includes a slide frame 40 , a sliding guide rail 20 , a lifting mechanism 30 , a tray 50 and a speed reduction mechanism 10 .

[0093] The sliding guide rail 20 is installed on the slide frame 40. Two sliding guide rails 20 are provided. The two sliding guide rails 20 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction. The two sliding guide rails 20 both extend downwardly in a first direction but in opposite directions. The lifting mechanism 30 is arranged on both sides of the sliding guide rail 20 in the first direction. The lifting mechanism 30 includes a driving member 31 and a supporting assembly 32. The driving member 31 can drive the supporting assembly 32 to rise or fall. The tray 50 can be arranged on the supporting assembly 32 or on the sliding guide rail 20. The speed reduction mechanism 10 is arranged on the slide frame 40.

[0094] The sliding guide rail 20 includes two guide rail assemblies 21 symmetrically arranged in the second direction, the guide rail assembly 21 includes a mounting beam 211 and a plurality of support wheels 212, the mounting beam 211 extends downwardly obliquely along the first direction and is fixed on the slide frame 40, the plurality of support wheels 212 are rotatably fixed on the mounting beam 211 and are located on the inner side of the mounting beam 211 in the second direction, and the deceleration mechanism 10 is arranged between the two guide rail assemblies 21.

[0095] The speed reduction mechanism 10 includes a mounting bracket 11, a mounting plate 12, a support seat 14, an adjusting member and a damping member 13. The mounting bracket 11 includes two mounting brackets 11, both of which extend along the extension direction of the sliding guide rail 20, and the mounting bracket 11 is arranged near the support wheel 212. The mounting plate 12 is welded and fixed on the upper side of the mounting bracket 11. There are three mounting plates 12, and the three mounting plates 12 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 11. The mounting plate 12 is provided with multiple groups of mounting holes. The support seat 14 includes a first mounting plate 141, a second mounting plate 142 and four first fasteners 143. The first mounting plate 141 is welded and connected to the mounting bracket 11, and the second mounting plate 142 is arranged on the lower side of the crossbeam 41 of the slide frame 40. The first mounting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 142 are fastened and clamped on the crossbeam 41 through four first fasteners 143.

[0096] The adjusting member is an adjusting gasket, which can be arranged at the support seat 14 according to the adjustment requirements. The adjusting member can be arranged between the mounting bracket 11 and the crossbeam 41 or between the first mounting plate 141 and the crossbeam 41 .

[0097] The damping member 13 has three parts and includes a fixed seat 131 and a damping roller 132. The three damping members 13 are respectively fastened to the three mounting plates 12, and the structure is simple, maintenance is convenient, and the maintenance cost is low. The fixed seat 131 is fastened to the mounting plate 12 by a fastener, and the damping roller 132 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 131. The fixed seat 131 is provided with baffles 1311 on both sides of the damping roller 132 in the radial direction, and the baffles 1311 are strip-shaped.

[0098] When the gravity slide 100 is operating, the items to be transported are placed on the tray 50, the lifting mechanism 30 is operating, and the supporting assembly 32 lifts the tray 50 to one end of the sliding guide rail 20 in the first direction, and the height of this end is higher than the other end. The tray 50 carries the items and slides onto the sliding guide rail 20. Under the action of gravity, the tray 50 slides along the sliding guide rail 20 in the first direction toward the other end of the sliding guide rail 20. During the sliding process of the tray 50, the three damping rollers 132 buffer and decelerate the tray 50 in turn, so that the tray 50 can maintain a relatively stable sliding speed. After the tray 50 slides to the other end of the sliding guide rail 20 and slides to the stop position, the lifting mechanism 30 at the other end of the sliding guide rail 20 can support the tray 50 to move downward for subsequent transportation.

[0099] When the deceleration mechanism 10 needs to be properly adjusted to meet the deceleration needs of the pallet 50 and the coordination needs with the sliding guide rail 20, adjusting parts can be added or removed between the mounting bracket 11 and the support seat 14 to change the height of the mounting bracket 11 at the two support seats 14 positions, thereby changing the inclination angle of the mounting bracket 11 or adjusting the overall height of the mounting bracket 11, so that the damping roller 132 can be in good contact with the pallet 50, avoiding the situation where the pallet 50 is lifted up when the damping roller 132 is arranged at a too high height, and the damping member 13 installed on the mounting plate 12 can be assembled through a mounting hole in a different group from the damping member 13 to change the installation and arrangement position of the damping member 13 on the mounting bracket 11, and then change the arrangement position of the damping member 13 during the sliding process of the pallet 50, so that the deceleration mechanism 10 can be in good coordination and contact with the pallet 50 according to the deceleration needs, thereby achieving smooth operation of the pallet 50.

[0100] In this embodiment, a deceleration mechanism 10 is provided, and a mounting bracket 11 and a damping member 13 are provided on the deceleration mechanism 10. The mounting bracket 11 extends along a first direction and is the same as the inclination direction of the sliding guide rail 20. A plurality of damping members 13 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 11 and are fixed on the mounting bracket 11. The damping member 13 contacts the tray 50, so that the tray 50 can obtain a good deceleration and buffering effect during the sliding process along the sliding guide rail 20, so that the tray 50 can slide more smoothly and the gravity slide 100 can operate more stably.
