DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings. The contents mentioned in the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0033] The embodiment of the present utility model provides a new type of carrier track quick width adjustment device, which can quickly and automatically adjust the width and narrow spacing of the carrier track, realize automatic adjustment, reduce the degree of manual participation in the adjustment process, reduce manual labor intensity, and improve the adjustment accuracy.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the carrier track rapid width adjustment device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a platform 100 and a controller (not shown in the figure), and the platform 100 is further provided with: a slide rail 101, a track assembly 200 and an adjustment device 300, wherein the slide rail 101 is arranged along a predetermined direction, and includes two arranged side by side thereon; the track assembly 200 includes a first rail 210 and a second rail 220 opposite to each other, and at least the second rail 220 is arranged on the slide rail 101; the adjustment device 300 is connected to the controller signal, and is at least connected to the second rail 220 for transmission, and is used to drive the second rail 220 to move back and forth along the direction of the slide rail 101.
[0035] In this embodiment, the controller can be a PLC controller or an MCU controller. After receiving the adjustment parameters, the controller transmits the adjustment signal to the adjustment device 300. The adjustment device 300 drives the second track 220 to move along the straight direction of the slide rail 101, thereby adjusting the width of the spacing between the two tracks. The adjustment device 300 is controlled by the controller to ensure the accuracy of the adjustment. During the entire process, the operator only needs to input the adjustment parameters on the PC to complete the rapid adjustment of the track. The adjustment rate is high and the manual labor intensity is low.
[0036] In this embodiment, the adjustment device 300 includes a screw 301, a nut, and a servo motor 303. Specifically, the screw 301 and the slide rail 101 are arranged side by side, and one end of the screw 301 is rotatably connected to the first track 210 or the frame of the platform 100; the nut is threadedly connected to the screw 301 and fixedly mounted on the second track 220; the servo motor 303 is connected to the controller signal and is transmission-connected to the screw 301 to drive the screw 301 to rotate around the axis. The controller is connected to the servo motor signal, so that the adjustment parameters can be transmitted to the servo motor 303, so that the servo motor 303 drives the screw 301 to rotate precisely, thereby achieving precise movement of the second track 220 along the slide rail 101 and achieving precise adjustment of the track width and spacing.
[0037] In order to ensure that the second track 220 does not move too far during its maximum stroke, the carrier track quick width adjustment device provided in this embodiment is also provided with a photoelectric detection component 310. The photoelectric detection component 310 is connected to the controller signal and is installed on the platform 100. It includes a photoelectric switch 311 and a detection member 313. The photoelectric switch 311 is fixedly installed on the platform 100 and is connected to the controller signal. The photoelectric switch 311 includes a detection position 312 facing the second track 220. One end of the detection member 313 is fixedly installed on the second track 220, and the other end extends in a direction away from the second track 220 corresponding to the detection position 312.
[0038] Specifically, during the movement of the second track 220, after reaching its maximum travel position, the detection member 313 penetrates into the detection position 312 of the photoelectric switch 311, thereby blocking the photoelectric signal of the photoelectric switch 311. At this time, the photoelectric switch transmits the detection signal to the controller, which triggers a stop signal to the servo motor 213, causing the servo motor 213 to stop driving. By providing the photoelectric detection component 310, the servo motor 213 can be effectively and quickly controlled to stop, preventing the second track 220 from moving too far.
[0039] In this embodiment, a spacing detection assembly 110 connected to the controller signal is also provided to detect the spacing between the two rails. The assembly includes a bracket 111, a first sensor 112, and a second sensor 113. Specifically, the bracket 111 is fixedly mounted on the platform 100, located between the first rail 210 and the second rail 220; the first sensor 112 is fixedly mounted on the side of the bracket 111 facing the first rail 210; and the second sensor 113 is fixedly mounted on the side of the bracket 111 facing the second rail 220. In other words, the first sensor 112 is used to detect the spacing between the bracket 111 and the first rail 210, and the second sensor 113 is used to detect the spacing between the bracket 111 and the second rail 220, thereby determining the width of the distance between the two rails and preventing the width of the distance between the two rails from being too small or too large. It is understood that during the installation process, the first rail 210 is not fixed due to assembly accuracy. Therefore, the first sensor 112 can determine the specific position data of the first rail 210 through detection, facilitating precise adjustment of the spacing between the two rails.
[0040] In this embodiment, a specific structural example of the first track 210 and the second track 220 is also given, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first track 210 and the second track 220 each include a support plate 211, a transmission wheel 212, a transmission motor 213, and a transmission belt 214. Specifically, the transmission wheel 212 includes at least two transmission wheels 212 that are rotatably connected to the support plate 211; the transmission motor 213 is in transmission connection with one of the transmission wheels 212, driving one of the transmission wheels 212 to rotate along the support plate 211; the transmission belt 214 is wound around at least two transmission wheels 212 and is driven as the transmission wheel 212 corresponding to the transmission motor 213 rotates. In other words, the transmission belt 214 is driven by the transmission motor 213 to transport the tray.
