[0025] As Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a trolley on an overhead rail, which includes an overhead rail 1 and a trolley 2 arranged on the overhead rail 1. The trolley 2 includes a housing 3 and a brush 4 installed on the housing 3. The brush 4 is electrically connected between a trolley wire on the overhead rail 1 and a braking member. One end of the brush 4 contacts the trolley wire. The braking member includes a mobile component 5, a lifting component 6 and a transport box component 7. Both the mobile component 5 and the lifting component 6 are installed in the housing 3. The mobile component 5 is used to drive the trolley 2 to move along the track of the overhead rail 1. At the same time, the transport box component 7 is installed on the lifting component 6 through a moving plate 8.

[0026] The brush 4 is electrically connected to the trolley wire, so that the brush 4 plays a role of connecting and supplying power to the mobile component 5, the lifting component 6 and the transport box component 7; the mobile component 5 drives the trolley 2 to move along the track of the overhead rail 1. After reaching the position, the lifting component 6 drives the transport box component 7 to descend to the designated position. The parts are installed in the transport box component 7, and the transport box component 7 drives the parts to move to the required position; the designed transport box component 7 of this device has a large movable space, which is convenient for the parts to meet the demand of being delivered to the post, and improves the work efficiency of the production line employees.

[0027] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 in particular. The mobile component 5 includes a follower wheel 501 and a driving wheel 502 that are movably installed in the housing 3. The rollers provided on the driving wheel 502 are connected to a motor 503 through a chain and a gear. The rollers on the follower wheel 501 and the rollers on the driving wheel 502 are both placed in the track of the overhead rail 1. At the same time, the follower wheel 501 and the driving wheel 502 both clamp the overhead rail 1. The brush 4 is electrically connected between the trolley wire on the overhead rail 1 and the motor 503.

[0028] When the motor 503 is started, the motor 503 drives the rollers provided on the driving wheel 502 to rotate. Under the action of the driving force, the rollers drive the trolley 2 to move along the track of the overhead rail 1.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 in particular. The lifting component 6 includes a transport wheel 602 that is movably installed in the housing 3. The motor 601 is connected to the transport wheel 502 through a chain and a gear. The transport wheel 602 is connected to the moving plate 8 through a conveyor belt. The brush 4 is electrically connected between the trolley wire on the overhead rail 1 and the motor 601.

[0030] When the motor 601 is started, the motor 601 drives the transport wheel 602 to rotate, so that the transport wheel 602 releases or retracts the conveyor belt, and then drives the moving plate 8 to move up or down.

[0031] Furthermore, conveyor belts are provided at the middle and both ends of the transport wheel 602, and the conveyor belts at both ends of the transport wheel 602 are connected to the moving plate 8 through auxiliary transport wheels 603.

The brush 4 is electrically connected between the sliding contact wire on the overhead rail 1 and the moving assembly 701.

[0033] The parts are placed in the transport box 702. After the lifting assembly 6 drives the transport box 702 to move to the designated position, the moving assembly 701 moves the transport box 702 to more process positions to deliver the required parts to the employees.

[0034] The moving assembly 701 is an electric lead screw, an electric cylinder or a single-axis robot, etc.

[0035] Due to the design of the lifting assembly 6 and the transport box assembly 7, the trolley 2 has a larger moving space and more transport points, so the error tolerance rate is higher, and the parts can be delivered to more process positions.

[0036] The motor 503, the motor 601 and the moving assembly 701 are electrically connected to the controller. The controller is installed on the housing 3.

[0037] The controller is a programmable numerical control system. As the central control system, the controller realizes the program input and operation control of the whole machine, and realizes the full automation of the transport process. The control system can be used as a system that connects each execution element to move according to the logical track, and controls the execution element to run according to the required operation steps through programming.
