Detailed Implementation Modes

[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present utility model, the technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Embodiment

[0018] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, a mechanical track steering device includes a bottom plate 1. A number of standing feet 2 are provided below the bottom plate 1. Two transverse track mounting seats 3 and a longitudinal track mounting seat 4 are respectively provided on the upper end surface of the bottom plate 1. A transverse track 31 is mounted on the transverse track mounting seat 3, and a longitudinal track 41 is mounted on the longitudinal track mounting seat 4. Steering device mounting seats 5 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper and lower transverse track 31 mounting seats. A steering device is mounted on the steering device mounting seat 5. The steering device includes a cylinder 6 and a rotating device. The cylinder 6 is mounted on the transverse track mounting seat 3 through a mounting bracket. The rotating device includes a fixed base 7, a sleeve 8, a rotating shaft 9 and a track mounting seat 10. The fixed base 7 is mounted on the steering device mounting seat 5. The sleeve 8 is fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the fixed base 7. The rotating shaft 9 is mounted on the lower end surface of the track mounting seat 10 and is rotatably inserted into the sleeve 8. A pushing block 11 is provided on the lower end surface of the track mounting seat 10 beside the sleeve 8. The pushing block 11 is connected to the output rod of the cylinder 6. A steering track 12 is detachably mounted on the upper end surface of the track mounting seat 10. When the cylinder 6 works, the output rod of the cylinder 6 pushes the pushing block 11, driving the rotating shaft 9 to rotate in the sleeve 8, thereby driving the steering track 12 to rotate. The steering track 12 is at the same horizontal height as the transverse track 31 and the longitudinal track 41. Two fixed stop mounting seats are provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 8. Fixed stops 13 are mounted on the fixed stop mounting seats. The fixed stop mounting seats include a transverse fixed stop mounting seat 14 and a longitudinal fixed stop mounting seat 15. The transverse fixed stop mounting seat 14 and the transverse track mounting seat 3 are in the same plane, and the longitudinal fixed stop mounting seat 15 and the longitudinal track mounting seat 4 are in the same plane. A rotating stop mounting seat 16 is provided on the lower end surface of the track mounting seat 10. The rotating stop mounting seat 16 is located between the transverse fixed stop mounting seat 14 and the longitudinal fixed stop mounting seat 15. A rotating stop 17 is mounted on the rotating stop mounting seat 16. The fixed stops 13 are used to limit the rotating stop 17. An inductor 18 is provided at one end of the fixed stop mounting seat away from the fixed stop 13. The inductor 18 is signal-connected to the control terminal. The inductor 18 can sense the rotating position of the steering device and feedback it to the control terminal to more precisely control the extension and retraction of the guide rod of the cylinder 6. Rollers 19 are provided on the mounting seat. The provision of the rollers 19 can make the steering track 12 more smoothly connected to the longitudinal track 4.

[0019] In use, the direction-changing device is powered by a cylinder 6. The pushing block 11 is connected to the output rod of the cylinder 6. At the same time, the pushing block 11 is installed on the lower end surface of the track mounting base 10. The track mounting base 10 is connected to the rotating shaft 9. The rotating shaft 9 is rotatably sleeved in the sleeve 8. Therefore, in order to enable the device to achieve the rotation function, the output rod of the cylinder 6 pushes the pushing block 11 to drive the rotating mounting base 16 to rotate, and further drives the direction-changing track 12 to rotate. There are fixed stoppers 13 and rotating stoppers 17, which can limit the rotation angle through mutual cooperation to achieve rotation at a fixed angle. When the sensor 18 senses the rotation position of the direction-changing device and feeds it back to the control terminal, it is convenient to more accurately control the extension and retraction of the output rod of the cylinder.

[0020] The direction-changing device is installed on the direction-changing device mounting base 5. When the directions of the direction-changing track 12 and the transverse track 31 are the same, since the direction-changing track 12 and the transverse track 31 are on the same plane, the direction-changing track 12 and the transverse track 31 match at this time, and the operation of the transverse track 31 can be realized. The control terminal gives a signal to make the output rod of the cylinder 6 extend. Under the push of the cylinder 6, the track mounting base 10 drives the direction-changing track 12 to rotate. When it rotates to be docked with the longitudinal track 15, it is restricted by the fixed stopper 13 and cannot continue to rotate, realizing the operation of the longitudinal track 15, and then completing the change from the transverse track 31 to the longitudinal track 15. In the case of the longitudinal track 15, the control terminal gives a signal to make the output rod of the cylinder 6 retract. Under the pull of the cylinder 6, the track mounting base 10 drives the direction-changing track 12 to rotate. When it rotates to be docked with the transverse track 31, it is restricted by the fixed stopper 13 and cannot continue to rotate, realizing the operation of the transverse track 31. Then the change from the longitudinal track 41 to the transverse track 31 is completed.
