Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shuttle vehicle tracks, in particular to a profile used for a circular shuttle vehicle system track. Background Art
[0002] There are many types of track profiles suitable for circular shuttles on the market, most of which are I-beam structures. This type of profile track features high standardization, easy material acquisition, and high degree of replaceability, and is widely used in the track selection of various circular shuttle systems. Some tracks are aluminum profile tracks, which are also widely used in circular shuttle systems because of their good strength, light weight, and strong plasticity.
[0003] Although the I-beam track has a standard high-quality structure, it is not suitable for many circular shuttle track occasions due to its heavy weight and low rust resistance. Compared with aluminum profile tracks, its plasticity is lower. In the face of a more complex circular shuttle system, more issues need to be considered in terms of environment, load, processing and post-maintenance. When designing the track, more detailed process analysis and installation environment preparation are required, which increases the complexity of the design.
[0004] Compared with steel profiles, aluminum profile rails can solve some problems that steel profiles cannot solve, such as difficult processing, low corrosion resistance, short maintenance cycle, short service life, etc. Although its structural strength performance is good, its material strength is not as good as steel, so the profile cross-section seriously affects its performance as a load-bearing rail. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a profile used in the circular shuttle system track to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a profile used for the track of a circular shuttle system to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The profile used for the track of the circular shuttle system includes a track profile section, an opening is opened in the middle of the bottom of the track profile section, a rectangular hollow is set in the middle of the inside of the track profile section, circular hollows are set inside the track profile section and on both sides of the rectangular hollow, a first guide groove is opened on the upper surface of the inside of the track profile section, a second guide groove is opened on both sides of the middle of the track profile section, and a third guide groove is opened on both sides of the bottom of the track profile section.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the number of the second guide grooves is set to four, and the four second guide grooves are arranged opposite to each other in pairs.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the second guide groove is generally in the form of a deep groove at the top and a shallow groove at the bottom.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the upper deep groove of the second guide groove has a stepped size structure.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the third guide groove adopts a symmetrical design.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the material used for the rail profile cross section is 6063-T5 aluminum profile.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The utility model mainly adopts a hollow section plus a groove-like outer contour to ensure that the aluminum profile has excellent load-bearing performance and universal installation adaptability when used as a track, reducing weight while reducing track costs, and by designing guide grooves of special shapes and sizes to ensure that it has extremely high universal adaptability, reducing the design difficulty of the track in the entire circular shuttle system, and expanding the adaptability of the circular shuttle in different scenarios.
[0015] The cross-sectional dimensions of the overall profile of the utility model adopt a rectangular dimension outline to ensure the stability of the aluminum profile when used as a track. The cross-sectional shape profile adopts a dimension design with a golden ratio of width to height, so that the entire track cross-section is simple and beautiful, with a good appearance advantage. In order to further ensure that the track installation has good guidance and to ensure the adaptability of installing various accessories on the shuttle track, the cross-sectional dimensions adopt a stepped guide groove design. In order to save molding materials, the hollow structure does not have a single wall thickness condition, but adopts a circular hollow structure combined with a rectangular structure to ensure the mechanical bearing performance of the aluminum profile to the greatest extent.
[0016] The material adopted by the utility model is 6063-T5 aluminum profile. In the case where the track is subjected to stress cycle for a long time, the surface of the aluminum profile track is further subjected to alkaline sand anodizing treatment, and the average film thickness is ≥15μm to harden the surface of the aluminum profile track, so that the track has better wear resistance and extends the service life of the track.

[0022] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model, rather than to limit the utility model. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The different types of section lines in the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model are not marked according to the national standard, nor are there any requirements for the materials of the components, but are used to distinguish the cross-sectional views of the components in the drawings.
[0023] See also Figure 1-3 The profile used for the track of the circular shuttle system includes a track profile section 1, an opening 2 is opened in the middle of the bottom of the track profile section 1, a rectangular hollow 3 is arranged in the middle of the inside of the track profile section 1, and circular hollows 4 are arranged inside the track profile section 1 and on both sides of the rectangular hollow 3. A first guide groove 5 is opened on the upper surface of the inside of the track profile section 1, a second guide groove 6 is opened on both sides of the middle of the track profile section 1, and a third guide groove 7 is opened on both sides of the bottom of the track profile section 1. The third guide groove 7 is mainly used to connect and fix the track and the track bearing structure. Therefore, the outline size here is simple and a symmetrical design is adopted. The symmetrical design can also better avoid the stress concentration phenomenon when the track is subjected to load, thereby ensuring that it has sufficient bearing capacity.
[0024] The number of the second guide grooves 6 is four, and the four second guide grooves 6 are arranged opposite to each other in pairs.
[0025] Among them, the second guide groove 6 is generally in the form of a deep groove on the upper part and a shallow groove on the lower part. The second guide groove 6 is mainly designed as a rail accessory installation groove, and uses an asymmetric stepped size design to ensure convenience when installing accessories.
[0026] The upper deep groove of the second guide groove 6 has a stepped size structure to ensure that the second guide groove 6 has a better installation adaptation range when installing accessory parts.
[0027] The third guide groove 7 is symmetrically designed.
[0028] Among them, the material used for the track profile section 1 is 6063-T5 aluminum profile.
[0029] Among them, the outer contour dimensions of the rail profile section 1 are 85mm in width and 120mm in height. In addition, the entire section is designed in a way that the upper part is larger and the lower part is smaller. The lower width is 65mm. While ensuring that the upper surface of the rail has sufficient load-bearing stability, it is convenient for rail accessories such as busbars to have sufficient space for installation on the side. The 85mm width dimension is 30mm in the height direction to ensure that the side of the rail has sufficient guiding contact surface, ensuring that there is sufficient design space when designing the on-track driving guide of the circular shuttle vehicle.
[0030] The overall cross-sectional wall thickness of the rail profile section 1 is uniformly designed to be 5 mm thick, and the internal cross-sectional shape adopts a rectangular hollow 3 plus a circular hollow 4 structure to ensure that the rail has good load-bearing performance while dispersing the stress distribution of the internal structure of the rail to the greatest extent.
[0031] Among them, the design of opening 2 at the bottom of the outer shape of the rail profile section 1 is based on the load-bearing force analysis of the rail with this type of outer shape. When the upper surface of the rail is subjected to various loads, the bottom of the outer shape is least affected. Therefore, the opening 2 is directly designed here to save material costs to the maximum extent while ensuring the bearing capacity of the rail.
[0032] Among them, there are three different types of guide groove structures on the rail profile section 1, and the guide groove and reinforcing rib linkage design is adopted to ensure that this rail section has a high load-bearing capacity while improving its universal installation adaptability, reducing the design difficulty of the rail in the circular shuttle system, and facilitating rail installation and subsequent maintenance. The first type of guide groove is two rectangular first guide grooves 5. The first guide grooves 5 are located at the position closest to the upper surface of the rail and are distributed on both sides of the outer contour of the maximum outer width of the rail, so as to maximize the guarantee that when each section of the rail is docked, the upper surface of the rail has a high docking accuracy and flatness, thereby ensuring the running stability of the circular shuttle on the upper surface of the rail.
[0033] The working principle and use process of the utility model: first, the cross-section 1 of the track profile adopts a rectangular size profile to ensure the stability of the aluminum profile when used as a track. The cross-section profile adopts a size design with a golden ratio of width to height, so that the entire track cross-section is simple and beautiful, with a good appearance advantage. In order to further ensure that the track installation has good guidance and to ensure the adaptability of installing various accessories on the shuttle track, the cross-section size adopts a stepped guide groove design. In order to save the forming material, the hollow structure is not a single wall thickness condition, but a circular hollow structure plus a rectangular combination is adopted to ensure the mechanical bearing performance of the aluminum profile to the greatest extent.
[0034] The track profile section 1 mainly adopts a hollow section with a groove-like outer contour to ensure that the aluminum profile has excellent load-bearing performance and universal installation adaptability when used as a track, reducing weight while reducing track costs, and by designing guide grooves of special shapes and sizes to ensure that it has extremely high universal adaptability, reducing the design difficulty of the track in the entire circular shuttle system, and expanding the adaptability of the circular shuttle in different scenarios;
[0035] The material used for the rail profile section 1 is 6063-T5 aluminum profile. In the case where the rail is subjected to stress cycling for a long time, the surface of the aluminum profile rail is further subjected to alkaline sand anodizing treatment, and the average film thickness is ≥15μm to harden the surface of the aluminum profile rail, so that the rail has better wear resistance and extends the service life of the rail. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the utility model.
