[0040] Referring to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a grid track, including a column 1, a first track 2, a second track 3 and a fixing member 4. Among them, the first track 2 and the second track 3 can cooperate to form a cross-shaped track for the track robot to walk. The column 1 is used to assist the cross-shaped track formed by the cooperation of the first track 2 and the second track 3 to be connected to other components or structures. The fixing member 4 is used to fix the first track 2 and the second track 3 to ensure the connection effect between the first track 2 and the second track 3.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , specifically, when setting, the first track 2 is arranged on the column 1. A first fixing groove 21 is provided on the side of the first track 2 facing away from the column 1. The first fixing groove 21 is arranged at an interval along the z direction from the column 1. The second track 3 is inserted into the first fixing groove 21 and is connected to the column 1. By directly connecting the first track 2 and the second track 3 to the column 1, the problems of high installation difficulty, noise generation during use, and poor connection effect due to the setting of intermediate connecting members are avoided. In addition, a fixing member 4 is also provided at the connection of the first track 2 and the second track 3 to further ensure the connection stability between the first track 2 and the second track 3.

[0042] A first track path 22 is also provided on the side of the first track 2 facing away from the column 1. The first track path 22 extends along the x direction and is communicated with the first fixing groove 21. The track robot can walk on the first track 2 through the first track path 22. A second track path 32 communicated with the first track path 22 is provided on the side of the second track 3 facing away from the column 1. The track robot can walk on the second track 3 through the second track path 32.

[0043] Specifically, a fixing part is also provided on the side of the second track 3 facing away from the column 1, and the fixing part is arranged at an interval along the z direction from the column 1. The fixing part has an intersection area 33 and a fixing area 34. The second track path 32 extends along the y direction and is communicated with the first track path 22 through the intersection area 33. The track robot can walk on the second track 3 through the second track path 32, and can also change direction through the intersection area 33 and move to walk on the first track path 22. The fixing member 4 is arranged on the fixing area 34 and is connected to the first track 2 to further fix the first track 2 and the second track 3.

[0044] More specifically, the fixing member 4 is inserted through and fixed to the fixing area 34 and the first track 2. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , it can be understood that the fixing member 4 includes a bolt and a nut. The bolt is inserted through the fixing area 34 and the first track 2, and the nut is screwed onto the bolt to ensure the fixing effect between the fixing area 34 and the first track 2 while enabling the fixing area 34 and the first track 2 to be detachably connected. And since the fixing member 4 is arranged on the fixing area 34 beside the intersection area 33 and does not contact the intersection area 33, the fixing member 4 will not affect the walking effect of the track robot on the intersection area 33 after installation, ensuring the use effect.

[0045] In addition, to ensure the walking effect of the track robot on the intersection area 33, the distance between the first track 22 and the column 1 along the z-direction is the same as the distance between the second track 32 and the column 1 along the z-direction, so that the track robot can smoothly travel and change direction between the intersection area 33, the first track 22 and the second track 32.

[0046] In summary, for the grid-shaped track of the present application, by eliminating the intermediate connecting member, the first track 2 and the second track 3 are directly connected to the column 1, and the fixing member 4 is used to reinforce the first track 2, the second track 3 and the column 1, so as to reduce the installation difficulty and the probability of generating noise during use, improve the connection effect, and at the same time, by arranging the fixing member 4 on the fixing area 34, the fixing member 4 will not affect the walking effect of the track robot on the intersection area 33 after installation, thereby ensuring the use effect.

[0047] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , in one embodiment, a second fixing groove 31 is provided on the side surface of the second track 3 facing the first fixing groove 21, and the first track 2 is inserted into the second fixing groove 31 to further increase the contact area between the first track 2 and the second track 3, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0048] Specifically, a first fixing groove 21 is provided in the middle of the first track 2. The notch of the first fixing groove 21 faces the second track 3, and the first fixing groove 21 penetrates the first track 2 along the y direction. The middle part of the second track 3 is inserted into the first fixing groove 21. A second fixing groove 31 is provided in the middle of the second track 3. The notch of the second fixing groove 31 faces the first track 2, and the second fixing groove 31 penetrates the first track 2 along the x direction. The middle part of the first track 2 is inserted into the second fixing groove 31. More specifically, the width of the first fixing groove 21 along the x direction is the same as the width of the second track 3 along the x direction, so that after the middle part of the second track 3 is inserted into the first fixing groove 21, it can be in close contact with the inside of the first fixing groove 21, thereby ensuring the fixing effect. The width of the second fixing groove 31 along the y direction is the same as the width of the first track 2 along the y direction, so that after the middle part of the first track 2 is inserted into the second fixing groove 31, it can be in close contact with the inside of the second fixing groove 31, thereby ensuring the fixing effect.

[0049] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , in one embodiment, there are two first track paths 22 and two second track paths 32. The intersection area 33 is in a square frame structure, and the fixing area 34 is arranged at the center of the square frame structure. Specifically, two first track paths 22 extending along the x direction and communicating with the first fixing groove 21 are provided on the side of the first track 2 facing away from the column 1, and the two first track paths 22 are arranged at intervals along the y direction. Two second track paths 32 extending along the y direction and respectively communicating with the two first track paths 22 are provided on the side of the second track 3 facing away from the column 1, and the two second track paths 32 are arranged at intervals along the x direction. The two first track paths 22 and the two second track paths 32 cooperate to form a cross-shaped structure. The intersection area 33 is located in the middle of the cross-shaped structure and is in a square frame structure, so that the track robot can travel and change direction between the intersection area 33, the first track path 22 and the second track path 32. The fixing area 34 is arranged at the center of the square frame structure, so that the fixing member 4 will not affect the walking effect of the track robot on the intersection area 33 after installation, ensuring the use effect.

[0050] Refer to Figure 2 , in one embodiment, the first track 2 is detachably connected to the column 1 by snap-fit, so that the first track 2 and the column 1 are detachable. And the snap-fit connection is more convenient for the installation of the first track 2 and the column 1, thereby reducing the installation difficulty. The second track 3 is detachably connected to the column 1 by snap-fit, so that the second track 3 and the column 1 are detachable. And the snap-fit connection is more convenient for the installation of the first track 2 and the column 1, thereby reducing the installation difficulty.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6, on the side of the first track 2 facing the column 1, there are two first connection grooves 23 arranged at intervals in the x direction. The column 1 has two first support plates 11 arranged at intervals in the x direction, and the two first support plates 11 are respectively inserted into the two first connection grooves 23. On the side of the second track 3 facing the column 1, there are two second connection grooves 35 arranged at intervals in the y direction. The column 1 has two second support plates 12 arranged at intervals in the y direction, and the two second support plates 12 are respectively inserted into the two second connection grooves 35.

[0052] More specifically, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the column 1 includes two first support plates 11 and two second support plates 12 extending in the z direction. The two first support plates 11 are arranged at intervals in the x direction, and the two second support plates 12 are arranged at intervals in the y direction. And on both sides of each first support plate 11 in the y direction, they are respectively connected to the two second support plates 12, and on both sides of each second support plate 12 in the x direction, they are respectively connected to the two first support plates 11. The two first support plates 11 are respectively inserted into the two first connection grooves 23 to make the first track 2 and the column 1 be snap-fitted and connected. The two second support plates 12 are respectively inserted into the two second connection grooves 35 to make the second track 3 and the column 1 be snap-fitted and connected.

[0053] Referring to Figures 4 - 7 , in one embodiment, there are also two first connectors 5 on the first track 2, and the two first connectors 5 are respectively fixed on the two first support plates 11 to enhance the fixing effect between the first track 2 and the column 1. Specifically, on the side of the first track 2 facing away from the column 1, there is a first connection area 24 arranged at intervals in the y direction with the first track 22. The first connector 5 passes through and is fixed on the first connection area 24 and the first support plate 11. By arranging the first connector 5 on the first connection area 24 beside the first track 22, the first connector 5 will not affect the walking effect of the track robot on the first track 22 after installation, ensuring the use effect.

[0054] More specifically, there are two first tracks 22 on the first track 2, and the first connection area 24 is arranged at intervals in the y direction between the two first tracks 22, so that the first connector 5 will not affect the walking effect of the track robot on the two first tracks 22 after installation, ensuring the use effect.

[0055] It can be understood that there is a first fixing protrusion 13 on the first support plate 11, and there is a first threaded hole penetrating in the z direction on the first fixing protrusion 13. The first connector 5 is selected as a bolt, and the first connector 5 passes through the first connection area 24 and is screwed on the first fixing protrusion 13, so as to ensure the fixing effect between the first track 2 and the column 1 while enabling the first track 2 and the column 1 to be detachably connected, further enhancing the fixing effect between the first track 2 and the column 1.

[0056] Referring toFigures 4 - 6 In one embodiment, two second connectors 6 are further provided on the second rail 3. The two second connectors 6 are respectively fixed on two second support plates 12 to enhance the fixing effect between the second rail 3 and the column 1. Specifically, a second connection area 36 which is spaced from the second rail path 32 in the x direction is provided on the side surface of the second rail 3 facing away from the column 1. The second connector 6 penetrates and is fixed on the second connection area 36 and the second support plate 12. By arranging the second connector 6 on the second connection area 36 beside the second rail path 32, the walking effect of the rail robot on the second rail path 32 will not be affected after the installation of the second connector 6, ensuring the use effect.

[0057] More specifically, two second rail paths 32 are provided on the second rail 3. The second connection area 36 is spaced in the x direction between the two second rail paths 32, so that the walking effect of the rail robot on the two second rail paths 32 will not be affected after the installation of the second connector 6, ensuring the use effect.

[0058] Referring to Figures 5 - 7 , it can be understood that a second fixing protrusion 14 is provided on the second support plate 12, and a second threaded hole penetrating in the z direction is provided on the second fixing protrusion 14. The second connector 6 is selected as a bolt, and the second connector 6 passes through the second connection area 36 and is screwed on the second fixing protrusion 14, so as to ensure the fixing effect between the second rail 3 and the column 1 while enabling the second rail 3 and the column 1 to be detachably connected, further enhancing the fixing effect between the second rail 3 and the column 1.

[0059] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0060] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
