Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of trolley use, in particular to a trolley driving structure. Background Art
[0002] Trolley furnaces are common high-temperature heating equipment, widely used in industrial production and laboratories, and are often used for heat treatment of products. The trolley in a trolley furnace must move forward or backward beneath the furnace to access and place workpieces. Typically, the trolley is manually or electrically driven, and requires rail support. To maintain smooth operation, the rails must be level and stable, requiring high site requirements. Leveling and grooving of the ground may also be required, making installation challenging.
[0003] Utility model patent CN206927232U discloses a trolley drive device comprising a bracket, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, a connector, a drive assembly, and a movable platform. The bracket can be installed in a pit. The driving wheel is rotatably mounted on one end of the bracket. The driven wheel is rotatably mounted on the other end of the bracket. The connector is sleeved over the driving wheel and driven wheel, rotating with the driving wheel and driving the driven wheel. The drive assembly is connected to the driving wheel to drive the driving wheel. The movable platform is slidably mounted on the bracket and connected to the connector. The movable platform can be connected to the trolley to drive the trolley. The movement of the trolley can be controlled by controlling the drive assembly, eliminating auxiliary operations such as manually moving the power head. This improves the degree of automation, improves work efficiency, and reduces labor intensity. However, the large distance between the driving wheel and the driven wheel of this device can cause sagging or excessive tension in the intermediate portion of the connector during transmission. This can affect the proper tensioning and efficient transmission of the connector over long-term use, thus necessitating improvements. Utility Model Content
