Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automated conveying systems, and more particularly to a guide device and a track junction travel system. Background Art

[0002] In the rapid development of automated material handling systems, tracks play a very important role. The main function of tracks is to connect multiple devices in series. Track planning and design have a great impact on the efficiency of the entire system, so the optimization of existing tracks is the focus of track design. In complex factory areas, it is inevitable that tracks will have forks, and forks mean that the tracks are not continuous, so it is necessary to optimize the tracks so that the overhead crane can pass through the forks safely and quickly.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to enable the overhead travelling vehicle to pass through the track fork smoothly and safely, two guide rails are arranged above the track fork. The two guide rails are branched from the top of the track fork and extend along the track downstream of the fork, and remain parallel to the track downstream of the fork. At the same time, a guide wheel group is arranged on the top of the overhead travelling vehicle. When the overhead travelling vehicle reaches the fork, the guide wheel group can be controlled to move to both sides of the overhead travelling vehicle, so as to selectively make the guide wheel group contact one of the guide rails, so that the overhead travelling vehicle can pass through the track fork smoothly and safely and enter one of the tracks downstream of the fork to continue to move. However, the guide rails in the prior art are fixed or integrally formed, and are specifically designed for the size or angle requirements of the track, and cannot be applied to different tracks. When the size or angle of the track fork needs to be adjusted, this guide rail can no longer be used, and is not universal, resulting in a waste of materials. Utility Model Content

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a guide device, which is installed above the track fork and is used to cooperate with the guide wheels on the vehicle body to help the vehicle body pass through the track fork smoothly and enter the predetermined track line.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the guide device of this embodiment has a mounting member and a guide member. The mounting member is a bracket structure for hanging on a beam or other top structure, and the guide member is installed in the lower area of ​​the mounting member so that the guide member is in a suspended state.

[0056] The mounting member in this embodiment may be a suspension bracket structure, specifically an arched bracket 15 and / or a mounting plate 16 .

[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide member is installed below the mounting plate 16, and the mounting plate 16 is suspended on the top beam or top plate through a plurality of arched brackets 15 to achieve a suspended setting of the guide member.

[0058] In this embodiment, the guide member is connected to the mounting member via a connecting member 17. The connecting member 17 is a detachable structure, such as a bolt, etc., which can realize multiple assembly and disassembly of the guide member and the mounting plate.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide member is composed of multiple parts, and the guide member may include a guide end 10, a first guide bar 11 and a second guide bar 12. One end of the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 are respectively connected to the same side of the guide end 10, and the other ends of the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 extend in a direction away from the guide end 10, and the distance between the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 gradually increases in the direction away from the guide end 10. That is, the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 are gradually opened from the close position to form a flared arrangement, which corresponds to the two tracks branched below, thereby guiding the vehicle body to enter the corresponding track through the fork.

[0060] Therefore, in some embodiments, according to the different directions of the tracks below the guide members, the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 may correspond to straight bars or curved bars, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first guide bar 11 is a straight bar, corresponding to a straight track downstream of the fork below it, and the second guide bar 12 is a curved bar, corresponding to a curved track downstream of the fork below it that needs to turn.

[0061] It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 are respectively detachably connected to the guide end head 10, and one end of the guide end head 10 has at least two interfaces to which the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 can be connected, and the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 can be arbitrarily installed on the interfaces. In this way, the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 of different lengths, shapes or curvatures can be set. When the guide bar is installed above the track fork, just select the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 that matches the lower track and install it directly on the guide end head 10 to achieve quick assembly.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, the end of the guide end head 10 of this embodiment away from the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 forms a guide tip 101, that is, the end of the guide end head 10 facing the direction of the vehicle body is the tip. The opposite sides of the guide tip 101 respectively have a first guide surface 102 and a second guide surface 103, the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 respectively extend toward the end attachment of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, and the distance between the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 gradually increases as they approach the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 are two opposite side surfaces of the guide end 10, and the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 extend to the vicinity of the end of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, so that the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 are equivalent to the extension surface of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, and their functions are the same as the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12, which is also to guide the turning of the vehicle body. When the volume of the guide end 10 is large, the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 respectively form the extension parts of the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12, and the guide wheel of the vehicle body first contacts with the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103, and the vehicle body is guided by the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 to the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, and then drives out of the track fork along the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12.

[0064] When the guide end head 10 is small in size, the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 of the guide end head 10 may not act as the guide wheels of the vehicle body, but only serve as a fixing seat structure connecting and fixing the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 .

[0065] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the end of the guide end 10 close to the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 has a first connection surface 104 and a second connection surface 105, and the ends of the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 are respectively connected to the first connection surface 104 and the second connection surface 105 in a one-to-one correspondence. The first connection surface 104 and the second connection surface 105 can also be provided with a connection structure in the form of a protrusion or a groove to ensure the connection and fixation with the ends of the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12. Preferably, the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 are respectively connected to the first connection surface 104 and the second connection surface 105 in a corresponding manner by bolts or plug-in.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first connecting surface 104 and the second connecting surface 105 form an angle so that the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 naturally form an angle after being connected, thereby reducing the degree to which the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 needs to be bent.

[0067] This embodiment also makes certain improvements to the first connecting surface 104 and the second connecting surface 105 as well as the guide strip end surface 113 to achieve a detachable connection between the guide end head 10 and the first guide strip 11 or the second guide strip 12 .

[0068] In this embodiment, a first clamping structure is respectively provided on the first connecting surface 104 and the second connecting surface 105, and the ends of the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 (i.e., the guide bar end faces 113) are respectively provided with a second clamping structure that can be correspondingly engaged with the first clamping structure, and the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure are connected via a pin shaft 18.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first clamping structure includes a first clamping groove 106, in which a first clamping block 107 protruding from the first connection surface 104 or the second connection surface 105 is provided, and a pin hole is provided on the first clamping block 107. Similarly, the second clamping structure includes a second clamping groove 114, in which a second clamping block 115 protruding from the end surface 113 of the guide bar is provided, and a pin hole is provided on the second clamping block 115. When connected, the first clamping block 107 is inserted into the second clamping groove 114, and the second clamping block 115 is inserted into the first clamping groove 106. At this time, the first connection surface 104 and the second connection surface 105 are respectively fitted with the end surface 113 of the guide bar. At the same time, the pin hole on the first clamping block 107 corresponds to the pin hole on the second clamping block 115, and the pin 18 is inserted into the two pin holes to fix the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 to the guide end 10.

[0070] It should be noted that the first clamping block 107 and the second clamping block 115 of the present embodiment are respectively arranged at the middle position of the first connecting surface 104 (or the second connecting surface 105) and the guide strip end surface 113. At this time, the first clamping groove 106 and the second clamping groove 114 extend to both sides of the first connecting surface 104 (or the second connecting surface 105) and the guide strip end surface 113 respectively to ensure that the pin shaft is exposed to the outside, which is convenient for the insertion of the pin shaft 18.

[0071] The advantage of this design is not only that the connection is quick and convenient, but also that the end face 113 of the guide bar can be in contact with the first connection face 104 or the second connection face 105 on the periphery, thereby increasing the contact area between the two. In this way, the guide bar is fully in contact with the guide end head and has better anti-bending performance.

[0072] Of course, the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 and the guide end head 10 may also be connected in other detachable ways, such as bolt connection, or direct pin connection, etc., which is not limited here.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, one side of the first guide strip 11 has a first guide surface 111, and one side of the second guide strip 12 has a second guide surface 121. The first guide surface 111 and the second guide surface 121 are respectively the side surfaces of the guide strips, which are used to contact the guide wheels of the vehicle body, and the first guide surface 111 and the second guide surface 121 respectively correspond to the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103 one by one and are smoothly connected, thereby ensuring the flatness of the guide strip surface, which is beneficial to the stability of the vehicle body when changing lanes and turning at the track fork.

[0074] In one embodiment, the first guide surface 102 can be a straight plane, which can be engaged with the straight first guide surface 111. The second guide surface 103 can be a curved surface, which can be engaged with the curved second guide surface 121. The curvature of the second guide surface 103 can be consistent with the curvature of the second guide surface 121, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the guide surface and facilitating the smooth guidance of the vehicle body guide wheel.

[0075] As a further improvement, in one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 has an anti-fool structure 13 at one end away from the guide end head 10, the anti-fool structure 13 protrudes from the back of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, and the anti-fool structure 13 is formed with an anti-collision surface 131 on one side close to the first guide surface 111 or the second guide surface 121. The anti-fool structure 13 can be an anti-collision block, which protrudes from the back of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, and can prevent the guide wheel from mistakenly entering the back of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 due to a program error of the vehicle body, thereby causing serious consequences.

[0076] The design of the anti-collision surface 131 serves to guide the guide wheel of the vehicle body to the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, and prevents the guide wheel from entering the back side of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, for example Figure 6 The situation shown in .

[0077] In one embodiment, the foolproof structure 13 can be detachably connected to the guide bar, or can be integrally formed with the guide bar, such as Figure 3 As shown in the second guide bar 12, its end has a bending portion that bends toward the back of the guide bar. The bending portion can also be an anti-fool structure 13, which has the same effect.

[0078] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, an adjusting member 14 is further provided, and the adjusting member 14 includes an adjusting block 141, a fixing bolt 142 and an adjusting bolt 143, and the adjusting block 141 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 16 through the fixing bolt 142. The adjusting bolt 143 is movably connected to the adjusting block 141, and one end of the adjusting bolt 143 faces the side of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12.

[0079] Specifically, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the adjustment block 141 has a threaded hole, and the adjustment bolt 143 passes through the threaded hole and can telescopically move relative to the adjustment block 141. One end of the adjustment bolt 143 faces and is close to the back side of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 (that is, the opposite side of the first guide surface 102 and the second guide surface 103). The adjustment bolt 143 can rotate so as to abut against the back side of the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12, thereby pushing the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 to make an appropriate displacement, so as to adjust the position of the guide member on the mounting plate 16 and realize fine-tuning of the guide bar.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, an adjustment hole 112 is provided on the guide member, and the connecting member 17 passes through the adjustment hole 112 to connect the guide member and the mounting member, wherein the adjustment hole 112 is a waist hole parallel to the moving direction of the adjusting bolt 143. When the adjusting bolt 143 pushes the guide member, the movement of the guide member drives the connecting member 17 to move, and the adjustment hole 112 provides a moving space for the connecting member 17.

[0081] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a avoidance hole 161 is further provided on the mounting plate 16 near the position of the adjusting bolt 143. Since the thickness of the guide member is relatively small, the adjusting bolt 143 can easily interfere with the mounting plate 16. The avoidance hole 161 is provided to provide operating space around the adjusting bolt 143, so as to facilitate adjustment by hand or tools.

[0082] Preferably, a plurality of adjustment members 14 are provided on the mounting plate 16, and the plurality of adjustment members 14 are evenly arranged on one side of the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12, and the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 are dragged through a plurality of points to prevent the first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 from being deflected when moving.

[0083] The first guide bar 11 and the second guide bar 12 of this embodiment are respectively detachably connected to the guide end head 10. A further advantage is that when the travel track needs to be reorganized and modified, for example, the track downstream of the track fork needs to change the curve angle, or the size of the track fork needs to be changed, at this time, there is no need to completely remove the original guide device, and the guide end head 10 can be retained. It is only necessary to remove the original first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 and replace it with the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 of the corresponding shape. In the prior art, the guide device on the travel track is fixed and unchanged, and the replacement of the guide device requires the complete removal, which not only increases the construction cost, but also causes waste of materials. Compared with replacing the entire guide device, the guide device of this embodiment is more flexible, reduces processing loss and processes, and also saves materials and reduces costs.

[0084] In this embodiment, the replaceable first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 can adapt to different track spacings, can also adapt to different types of track junctions, and can adapt to different tracks.

[0085] The following will be combined Figure 9A-9D The guide member of this embodiment is further described.

[0086] In one embodiment, Fig. 9A and Fig. 9B The N-type track fork shown is designed to enable the vehicle body to pass through the track fork and enter another parallel track, or to enable the vehicle body to reciprocate at the track fork. Two guide members of this embodiment are arranged above the N-type track fork. The two guide members are arranged in opposite directions and staggered. The vehicle body enters the track fork from the travel track 20. When it is necessary to change the route, the vehicle body first contacts the second guide strip 12 of the first guide member and enters the second fork 22, and then contacts the second guide strip 12 of the other guide member and enters the other travel track. The vehicle body can continuously pass through one guide strip of each of the two guide members to achieve a change of route at the track fork.

[0087] However, when the track needs to be adjusted, this N-type track junction often needs to change size, e.g. Fig. 9AThe spacing between the two travel rails is changed from 750mm to 600mm. In this case, the guide members of the present embodiment do not need to be completely removed. It is only necessary to move the position of the guide end 10, remove the second guide strips 12 of each of the two guide members, and replace them with the second guide strips 12 of the corresponding size or angle, which greatly reduces the modification process.

[0088] In one embodiment, Fig. 9C As shown, in an N-type track fork, when the first fork 21 and the second fork 22 downstream of the track fork are changed from straight tracks to curved tracks, it is only necessary to change the corresponding first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 from a straight bar to a curved bar; similarly, when the fork is changed from a curved track to a straight track, it is only necessary to change the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 from a curved bar to a straight bar. In this way, only one guide bar needs to be changed to complete the modification of the guide device, which is simple and fast, and improves the modification efficiency.

[0089] In one embodiment, Fig.9D As shown, in a Y-type track fork, when the curvature of the first fork 21 or the second fork 22 downstream of the track fork changes, the corresponding guide bar can be replaced with a guide bar with the same curvature. The length of the guide bar can be set arbitrarily, and the operation is simple and efficient.

[0090] As described above, in this embodiment, through the detachable combination of the guide end 10 and different first guide strips 11 or second guide strips 12, it can be applicable to different types of track junctions, realizing the free assembly of the guide rails above the track junctions, making the track modification and layout more flexible, avoiding the waste of materials caused by the inability to adapt the original guide rails, saving the track assembly cost, and improving the modification efficiency.

Two guide wheels 401 are provided and are installed on the slide 403 through the connecting block 404. The slide 403 is fixed above the vehicle body 30 through the bottom plate 402. It is worth noting that the slide 403 forms an angle with the traveling direction of the vehicle body 30. Preferably, the slide 403 forms a right angle with the traveling direction of the vehicle body 30. In this way, the guide wheel 401 moves in both sides above the vehicle body 30 and can selectively contact the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12.

[0097] In one embodiment, the slideway 403 forms a right angle with the travel direction of the vehicle body 30 , so that the guide wheel 401 can quickly make a movement response to move to contact the first guide surface 102 or the second guide surface 103 .

[0098] The control mechanism 50 is arranged on one side of the vehicle body 30. The control mechanism 50 is connected to the connecting block 404 and is electrically connected to the controller. The control mechanism 50 moves in response to the controller to drive the guide wheel 401 to slide to abut against the first guide bar 11 or the second guide bar 12 to control whether the vehicle body 30 enters the first branch road 21 or the second branch road 22.

[0099] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment, the control mechanism 50 can be a telescopic component 501, one end of the telescopic component 501 is connected to the vehicle body 30, and the other end is connected to the connecting block 404. The telescopic component 501 makes a telescopic movement in response to the controller to push the guide wheel 401 to slide.

[0100] In this embodiment, the telescopic direction of the telescopic assembly 501 is parallel to the direction of the slideway 403 , so as to push the connecting block 404 to move on the slideway 403 .

[0101] The telescopic component 501 of this embodiment can be an electric telescopic rod, a cylinder or other structures, as long as the function of controlling the telescopic movement can be achieved. The principle of the telescopic mechanism is common knowledge in the art and will not be described in detail here.
