[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of embossing equipment, and more specifically, to an embossing device for a guide rail. Background Art

[0002] In some transportation lines, rollers are used to roll on the guide rail for moving transportation. For example, in the chassis sling conveyor line for automobile production, the rubber-coated parts on both sides of the rollers clamp the friction surface of the guide rail, and the movement is achieved by means of the frictional force between the rollers and the guide rail. However, after long-term operation, the friction surface of the guide rail will become smooth, resulting in a reduction in the frictional force, and ultimately causing the conveyor line to stop due to slipping.

[0003] The traditional improvement method is to disassemble the guide rail for surface roughening treatment, such as sandblasting the guide rail to improve the roughness of the friction surface of the guide rail. However, by adopting the above method, the disassembly and assembly process of the guide rail is relatively cumbersome, and the sandblasting treatment process needs to be outsourced.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment discloses a knurling device for a guide rail 100, including a main body member 1. The main body member 1 has a first mounting portion 11 and a second mounting portion 12 distributed on both sides of the guide rail 100 in the length direction. A first knurling assembly 2 is mounted on the first mounting portion 11, and a second knurling assembly 3 is mounted on the second mounting portion 12. Both the first knurling assembly 2 and the second knurling assembly 3 have rotatable knurling rollers 21, 31 for abutting against the friction surface of the guide rail 100. Specifically, on both sides of the guide rail 100 in the length direction, that is, on both sides where the guide rail 100 is in frictional contact with the rollers during use, the first knurling assembly 2 and the second knurling assembly 3 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the main body member. The main body member 1 can be approximately rectangular when viewed from above, and the width of the main body member 1 is greater than the width of the track, so that the main body member 1 can be distributed on both sides of the track 100. The knurling rollers 21, 31 are used to knurl the friction surface of the guide rail to increase the friction force of the guide rail 100. The rolling direction of the knurling rollers 21, 31 is consistent with the length direction of the guide rail 100. In this way, when the operator moves the knurling device relative to the guide rail 100 along the length direction of the guide rail 100, the knurling operation can be performed on the guide rail 100. It can be understood that the material hardness of the knurling rollers 21, 31 is greater than the material hardness of the guide rail 100, so that the knurling rollers 21, 31 can perform knurling on the guide rail 100.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main body member 1 has a first mounting portion 11 and a second mounting portion 12. The first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 12 are respectively mounted with a first knurling assembly 2 and a second knurling assembly 3. The knurling rollers 21, 31 of the first knurling assembly 2 and the second knurling assembly 3 abut against the friction surface of the guide rail 100. When the knurling device moves relative to the guide rail 100, the knurling rollers 21, 31 can roll on the friction surface of the guide rail 100 and knurl the friction surface of the guide rail 100 to improve the roughness of the friction surface of the guide rail 100 and increase the friction force of the guide rail 100. Compared with the prior art method of sandblasting the guide rail 100 after disassembly, the knurling device of the present invention can perform knurling treatment on the guide rail 100 online, without disassembling and installing the guide rail 100, which takes a short time and effectively saves labor and financial costs.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , the first knurling assembly 2 is adjustably connected to the main body member 1 along a first direction towards the second knurling assembly 3, and the first direction intersects with the length direction of the guide rail 100. Preferably, the first direction can be Figures 1 to 3The direction shown by X, where the X direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rail 100, so as to facilitate pressing the embossing roller against the guide rail. In this embodiment, the first embossing assembly 2 can move along the first direction, so that the embossing rollers 21, 31 of the embossing device can be adjusted to press against the friction surface of the guide rail 100, so as to adjust the pressing force between the embossing rollers 21, 31 and the guide rail 100. At the same time, the first embossing assembly 2 can move along the first direction, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly between the embossing device and the guide rail 100. Among them, the movable connection mode between the first embossing assembly 2 and the main body member 1 can adopt the pressing member 23 in this embodiment. In some other embodiments, it can also be to connect the first embossing assembly 2 and the main body member 1 through an adjustable member, such as connecting by using a telescopic structure.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , the first embossing assembly 2 further includes a first shaft 22 and a pressing member 23. The embossing roller 21 is coaxially rotatably installed on the first shaft 22. The end of the first shaft 22 is adjustably connected to the main body member 1 along the first direction. The pressing member 23 is connected to the main body member 1 and abuts against the first shaft 22 along the first direction. In this embodiment, the embossing roller 21 is rotatably installed on the first shaft 22, and the first shaft 22 is abutted against the main body member 1 through the pressing member 23. By adjusting the position of the pressing member 23, the pressing force of the embossing roller 21 on the guide rail 100 can be adjusted. In some other embodiments, the first shaft 22 is movably connected to the main body member 1. It can be that opposite sliding grooves are opened in the main body member 1 along the first direction, and both ends of the first shaft 22 are restricted to move in the sliding grooves, and the first shaft 22 can be adjustably fixed in the sliding grooves through the pressing member 23 to limit the moving position of the first shaft 22 in the sliding grooves, so as to realize the movable connection of the first shaft 22 in the main body member 1.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , the first mounting portion 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 111 for mounting the first embossing assembly 2, and first mounting holes 112 are respectively opened at both ends of the first mounting portion 11 located in the first mounting groove 111. The first mounting holes 112 are waist-shaped holes extending along the first direction, and the first shaft 22 is adjustably installed in the first mounting holes 112 along the first direction. In this embodiment, it is convenient to assemble the first embossing assembly 2 through the first mounting groove 111. Since the first mounting holes 112 extend along the first direction, the first embossing assembly 2 can be adjusted and moved along the first direction, so as to adjust the pressing force of the embossing roller 21 on the guide rail 100. Preferably, the partial shaft section of the first shaft 22 located in the first mounting hole 112 can be a waist-shaped circular cross-section, but the length of its waist-shaped circular cross-section along the first direction is less than the length of the first mounting hole 112 along the first direction, so that the first shaft 22 can move but not rotate in the first mounting hole 112, so as to improve the embossing effect of the embossing roller 21.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 3, specifically, the pressing member 23 is a bolt. The main body member 1 is provided with a threaded hole communicating with the first mounting hole 112 in the first direction. The pressing member 23 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole and abuts against the first shaft 22. In this embodiment, the pressing member 23 is a bolt and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the pressing member 23, thereby adjusting the pressing effect of the embossing roller 21 on the guide rail 100.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , this embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1, the difference is that in this embodiment, in this embodiment, the second embossing assembly 3 further includes a second shaft 32. The embossing roller 31 is coaxially and fixedly mounted on the second shaft 32. The second mounting portion 12 is provided with a second mounting groove 121. The embossing roller 31 is placed in the second mounting groove 121. The second mounting portion 12 is provided with second mounting holes 122 at both ends of the second mounting groove 121. The second shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the second mounting holes 122. In this embodiment, the second shaft 32 and the embossing roller 31 are used to form the second embossing assembly 3 and are arranged in the second mounting groove 121, so that the embossing roller 31 can rotate in the second mounting groove 121, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0045] In this embodiment, the end of the second shaft 32 has a driving portion 321 for driving the second shaft 32 to rotate. Since the driving portion 321 is provided at the end of the second shaft 32, after the embossing device is installed on the guide rail 100, an external driving member can be connected to the driving portion 321 to rotate the second shaft 32, so that the embossing device moves relative to the guide rail 100 for embossing operation.

[0046] The driving portion 321 in this embodiment is an internal hexagonal hole, and the external driving member is selected as a hexagonal wrench matching the shape of the internal hexagonal hole. Connect the hexagonal wrench to the internal hexagonal hole and rotate the hexagonal wrench to rotate the second shaft 32, so that the embossing device moves relative to the guide rail. It can be understood that there are many connection methods and structures between the driving portion 321 and the external driving member. For example, the driving portion 321 can be provided as a gear, and the gear is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the second shaft 32. The external driving member can be a motor and another gear connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the two gears are meshed and driven. The second shaft 32 can be rotated by the motor and the size. It can also be replaced with other structures well-known to those skilled in the art that can realize driving the second shaft to rotate.

[0047] Embodiment 3

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1, except that a guide groove 13 matching the guide rail 100 is formed inside the main body member 1. The guide groove 13 is located between the first embossing assembly 2 and the second embossing assembly 3 and extends along the length direction of the guide rail 100. In this embodiment, after the embossing device is installed on the guide rail 100, the guide rail 100 is configured to be disposed in the guide groove 13, and the guide groove 13 can play a role in positioning and guiding. In this embodiment, the guide rail has a rectangular cross-section, and the guide groove 15 also has a matching rectangular cross-section.

[0049] In a further preferred embodiment of this embodiment, guide wheels 4 are rotatably connected to both sides of the main body member 1 on the guide rail 100. By the rolling contact of the guide wheels 4 with the guide rail, the positioning and guiding functions can be achieved. Specifically, the guide wheels 4 can be arranged on both sides at the rear of the main body member 1, and the first embossing assembly 2 and the second embossing assembly 3 are arranged on both sides at the front of the main body member 1. The front and rear refer to the front and rear along the moving direction of the main body member 1.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 , a relief groove 14 with an outward opening is provided between the first embossing assembly 2 and the second embossing assembly 3 on the main body member 1. The relief groove 14 is approximately semi-circular when viewed from above. Since the guide rail 100 needs to be suspended by a hanging member 200, there will be structural interference when the embossing device moves to the position of the hanging member 200, and it is impossible to perform embossing operations on a part of the guide rail 100 at the bottom of the hanging member 200. Therefore, the relief groove 14 is provided. When the embossing device moves to the position of the hanging member 200, the hanging member 200 can be placed in the relief groove 14, so that the guide rail 100 at the bottom of the hanging member 200 can be embossed. If it is necessary to further cross the hanging member 200, the embossing device can be disassembled and reinstalled from the other side of the hanging member 200. Of course, in order to further improve the embossing effect, the embossing device can be used to reciprocally perform embossing operations on the guide rail 100.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here.
