Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model generally relates to the technical field of high-altitude transportation, and more specifically relates to an aerial suspension conveyor line. Background Art

[0002] An overhead conveyor line, also known as a suspended conveyor line or overhead conveyor, is a device that continuously transports materials through space. Typically driven by a motor, an overhead conveyor line operates a trolley, hanger, and other components on an overhead track, completing the material transport process. It offers technical advantages such as high flexibility, a small footprint, a high load capacity, ease of maintenance, and high safety.

[0003] Most of the existing overhead conveyor lines are of the friction rod type, which uses a rotating friction rod to make frictional contact with the wheels of the trolley to drive the trolley to move. The friction rod type is mostly used in situations where the weight of the goods is above 150kg. For goods weighing less than 150kg, the use of the friction rod type will cause a large waste of resources. Generally, a belt type, or a transmission belt type, is selected. The transmission belt type overhead conveyor line has a low cost and is suitable for relatively light loads. However, due to the limitation of traction, the existing transmission belt type overhead conveyor line cannot be used when it is arranged on a slope or when climbing transportation is required. Additional customized lifting equipment is often required because the vertical space of the slope is limited, and sometimes it is impossible to arrange additional lifting equipment. Even if the lifting equipment can be arranged, the customized lifting equipment is expensive, and there will be a series of problems in the connection between the lifting equipment and the overhead conveyor line, which will affect the orderly and normal operation of the line.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an aerial suspension conveyor line to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0077] In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features known in the art are not described to avoid confusion with embodiments of the present invention.

[0078] In order to fully understand the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0079] The utility model provides an aerial suspension conveyor line.

[0080] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aerial suspension conveyor line 100 includes a first rail 111, a second rail 112, a traveling trolley 120 and a driving device 140. The first rail 111 is arranged along the first horizontal direction D1. The second rail 112 is connected to the first rail 111, and the second rail 112 is inclined relative to the first horizontal direction D1 and the vertical direction DH, and the second rail 112 is inclined upward relative to the first rail 111. The traveling trolley 120 is configured to be able to move along the first rail 111 and the second rail 112. The driving device 140 is partially located inside the first rail 111 and the second rail 112, and the driving device 140 includes a transmission belt, which is configured in a closed shape. The driving device 140 is used to drive the traveling trolley 120 to move along the first rail 111 and the second rail 112. Furthermore, the traveling trolley 120 has a wheel set 122, and the first track 111 and the second track 112 both have a limiting groove 114 suitable for the wheel set, and the limiting groove 114 is used to limit the movement of the wheel set 122 along the second horizontal direction, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction D1.

[0081] According to the present invention, the overhead conveyor line 100 can climb slopes in an orderly manner, compared to a lightly loaded belt-type overhead conveyor line, greatly expanding the applicable applications of the overhead conveyor line 100. In other words, for relatively lightly loaded applications, choosing a belt-type overhead conveyor line can reduce construction costs and minimize resource waste. Furthermore, in applications where climbing is required, there is no need for additional lifting equipment to interface with the overhead conveyor line 100, reducing construction difficulty and improving the stability of the line's operation.

[0082] The aforementioned “upward tilt” and “limiting groove” are explained below.

[0083] The second track 112 is inclined upward relative to the first track 111. In other words, the second track 112 has a first end and a second end spaced apart along the first horizontal direction D1, and the top edge of the first end is located below the top edge of the second end. The first track 111 is connected to the first end. In other words, when the traveling trolley 120 moves from the first track 111 to the second track 112, the second track 112 moves along the travel direction of the traveling trolley 120 (see FIG. Figure 2 The walking trolley 120 will experience the uphill slope formed by the second track 112.

[0084] Regarding the limiting slots 114 on the first and second rails 111, 112, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the first and second rails 111, 112 have downwardly-facing openings, allowing the trolley 120 to extend downwardly relative to the first and second rails 111, 112. Accordingly, the trolley 120 will not deviate relative to the rails in a direction perpendicular to the rail extension direction. For example, if the first rail 111 extends along a first horizontal direction D1, the trolley 120 will not deviate relative to the first rail 111 in a second horizontal direction. It will be understood that the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction D1.

[0085] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the aerial suspension conveyor line 100 also includes a third rail 113, which is arranged along the first horizontal direction D1, and the third rail 113 is connected to the end of the second rail 112 along the first horizontal direction D1 away from the first rail 111. In other words, the third rail 113 is connected to the aforementioned second end. It can be understood that the third rail 113 is located above the first rail 111 and is spaced apart from the first rail 111 along the first horizontal direction D1. The third rail also has the aforementioned limiting groove 114. Preferably, the aforementioned first rail 111, second rail 112 and third rail 113 can be constructed as an integrally formed aluminum profile to facilitate cutting and splicing.

[0086] See also Figures 2 to 4 , the wheel group 122 includes a first wheel group 123 and a second wheel group 124 suitable for the driving device 140. Specifically, when the traveling trolley 120 moves from the first track 111 to the second track 112, the first wheel group 123 is located in front of the second wheel group 124 along the traveling direction of the traveling trolley 120. The first wheel group 123 and the second wheel group 124 both have a bracket 125 and a first linkage member 126. The first linkage member 126 is movably connected to the bracket 125 between a first position and a second position. It should be noted that the first linkage member 126 at the first position is connected to the driving device 140 to move with the driving device 140; the first linkage member 126 at the second position is disengaged from the driving device 140.

[0087] See also Figure 3 , further, the bracket 125 includes a base plate 125a and a connecting rod 125b. The base plate 125a is used to mount the wheel set 122, and the connecting rod 125b is connected to the base plate 125a and protrudes downward from the base plate 125a; and the connecting rod 125b is pivotally connected to the base plate 125a around its own axis. Specifically, the connecting rod 125b includes an upper connecting portion 125c and a lower connecting portion 125d. The upper connecting portion 125c is connected to the base plate 125a, and the lower connecting portion 125d is located below the upper connecting portion 125c and is movably connected to the upper connecting portion 125c. This is because, when the walking trolley 120 goes uphill or downhill, the wheel set 122 will experience a certain amount of bumpy changes, and the length of the connecting rod 125b can be fine-tuned autonomously (the lower connecting portion 125d is movably connected to the upper connecting portion 125c) to make the connection between the wheel set 122 and the drive device 140 smoother. It can be understood that the first linkage member 126 is located above the base plate 125 a.

[0088] Those skilled in the art know that the traveling trolley 120 further includes a crossbeam 121 , the wheel set 122 is located above the crossbeam 121 and connected to the crossbeam 121 , and a customized hanger 170 is provided below the crossbeam 121 to carry goods.

[0089] First embodiment

[0090] See also Figure 2 , the first drive assembly 141 includes a first drive member 142, a first driven member 143 and a first transmission belt 144. Specifically, the first driven members 143 are arranged in pairs; those skilled in the art will know that the first driven members 143 can be constructed as pulleys suitable for the first transmission belt 144 and corresponding pivot shafts. The first driven members 143 are arranged in pairs along the extension direction of the corresponding mounting rails. In this embodiment, the outer surface of the first transmission belt 144 is flat, and the first transmission belt 144 is wound around the first driven members 143 arranged in pairs. The first drive member 142 is transmission-connected to at least one first driven member 143 to drive the first transmission belt 144 to operate. For example Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first driving member 142 is configured as a motor and is connected to one of the first driven members 143 .

[0091] See also Figures 2 to 4 The first track 111 and the second track 112 are both connected to the first driving assembly 141. The traveling trolley 120 further includes a second linkage member 130, which is at least connected to the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123. The second linkage member 130 is located above the base plate 125a. For example Figure 3, the second linkage member 130 is constructed to have the same structure as the first linkage member 126, and the second linkage member 130 is connected to the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123. In an embodiment not shown, the second linkage member 130 can be connected to the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123 and the second wheel group 124. Further, the second linkage member 130 is movably connected to the bracket 125 between a third position and a fourth position. It should be noted that the second linkage member 130 in the third position is connected to the first drive assembly 141, specifically, it abuts against the first transmission belt 144, so as to move with the first drive assembly 141; the second linkage member 130 in the fourth position is disengaged from the first drive assembly 141 (specifically, the first transmission belt 144). Figure 3 In the embodiment, when the traveling trolley 120 is located at the first track 111 , the first linkage member 126 is located at the first position, and the second linkage member 130 is located at the fourth position. Figure 4 In the embodiment, when the traveling trolley 120 is located at the second track 112, the first linkage member 126 is located at the first position, and the second linkage member 130 is located at the third position.

[0092] Specifically, both the first wheel assembly 123 and the second wheel assembly 124 further include a first elastic member 127, a first lifting member 128, and a first abutting member 129. The first lifting member 128 is configured as a rod-shaped member and is movably connected to the base plate 125a along its own axis. A first linkage member 126 is connected to the top of the first lifting member 128, allowing the first linkage member 126 to move relative to the bracket 125 between a first position and a second position. The first elastic member 127 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the first lifting member 128 and positioned between the first linkage member 126 and the base plate 125a. It will be understood that the first elastic member 127 is used to return the first linkage member 126 from the second position to the first position, or in other words, to maintain the first linkage member 126 in the first position. The first abutting member 129 is configured as a roller and is pivotally connected to the first lifting member 128 about its own axis. The first abutting member 129 is positioned below the base plate 125a.

[0093] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The aerial suspension conveyor line 100 further includes a switching member 115, which is consistent with the extension direction of the second track 112 and is connected to the bottom of the second track 112. Specifically, the second linkage member 130 is further connected to a second lifting member 131; Figure 4In the embodiment, the second lifting member 131 is constructed as a rod-shaped member and is movably connected to the base plate 125a at the first wheel assembly 123 along its own axis. The second lifting member 131 is connected to a second abutting member 132, which is constructed as a roller and is pivotally connected to the second lifting member 131 along its own axis. The second abutting member 132 is located below the base plate 125a, allowing the second linkage member 130 to move between a third position and a fourth position relative to the bracket 125. Furthermore, the switching member 115 has a first guide portion and a second guide portion to facilitate the second abutting member 132 to enter and exit the switching member 115. When the first wheel group 123 moves to the second track 112, the second abutting member 132 enters the switching member 115, so that the switching member 115 lifts the second abutting member 132, thereby, the second abutting member 132 drives the second linkage member 130 to move from the fourth position to the third position via the second lifting member 131; in other words, the second linkage member 130 abuts against the first transmission belt 144 to increase the traction obtained by the walking trolley 120, ensuring that the walking trolley 120 climbs the slope in an orderly manner.

[0094] Second embodiment

[0095] See also Figures 5 to 7 , this embodiment provides an aerial suspended conveyor line 200. Specifically, the driving device 140 also includes a second driving assembly 151, and the second driving assembly 151 includes a second driving member 152, a second driven member 153 and a second transmission belt 154. The second driven members 153 are arranged in pairs, and the second driven members 153 can be constructed as pulleys suitable for the second transmission belt 154 and corresponding pivot shafts. The second driven members 153 are arranged in pairs along the extension direction of the corresponding mounting rails. In this embodiment, the outer surface of the second transmission belt 154 has protrusions and grooves alternately arranged along the extension direction of the second transmission belt 154, and the second transmission belt 154 is wound around the second driven members 153 arranged in pairs. The second driving member 152 is transmission-connected to at least one second driven member 153 to drive the second transmission belt 154 to operate. For example Figure 5 In the embodiment, the second driving member 152 is configured as a motor and is connected to one of the second driven members 153 .

[0096] Please continue reading Figures 5 to 7 The first track 111 is connected to the first drive assembly 141, and the second track 112 is connected to the second drive assembly 151. The walking trolley 220 also includes a third linkage member 230, which is connected to at least the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123. The third linkage member 230 is located above the base plate 125a. For example Figure 6, the third linkage member 230 is constructed to be suitable for the second transmission belt 154. In other words, the top surface of the third linkage member 230 has a protrusion and a groove suitable for the second transmission belt 154. In addition, the third linkage member 230 is connected to the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123. In an embodiment not shown, the third linkage member 230 can be connected to the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123 and the second wheel group 124. Further, the third linkage member 230 is movably connected to the bracket 125 between the fifth position and the sixth position. It should be noted that the third linkage member 230 in the fifth position is connected to the second drive assembly 151, specifically, it abuts against the second transmission belt 154 to move with the second drive assembly 151; the third linkage member 230 in the sixth position is disengaged from the second drive assembly 151 (specifically, the second transmission belt 154). Figure 6 In the embodiment, when the traveling trolley 220 is located at the first track 111 , the first linkage member 126 is located at the first position, and the third linkage member 230 is located at the sixth position. Figure 7 In the embodiment, when the traveling trolley 220 is located at the second track 112 , the first linkage member 126 is located at the second position, and the third linkage member 230 is located at the fifth position.

[0097] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 The aerial suspension conveyor line 200 further includes a switching member 215, which is consistent with the extension direction of the second track 112 and is connected to the bottom of the second track 112. Specifically, the third linkage member 230 is further connected to the second lifting member 131; Figure 6In the embodiment, the second lifting member 131 is constructed as a rod-shaped member and is movably connected to the base plate 125a at the first wheel group 123 along its own axial direction. The second lifting member 131 is connected to a second abutting member 132, which is constructed as a roller and is pivotally connected to the second lifting member 131 along its own axial direction. The second abutting member 132 is located below the base plate 125a so that the third linkage member 230 can move between the fifth position and the sixth position relative to the bracket 125. Furthermore, the switching member 215 also has the aforementioned first guide portion and the second guide portion to facilitate the second abutting member 132 to enter and exit the switching member 215. It should be noted that the switching member 215 has a first switching portion 215a and a second switching portion 215b. The switching member 215 can be constructed as two bent parts to respectively form the aforementioned first switching portion 215a and the second switching portion 215b. When the first wheel assembly 123 moves to the second track 112, the second abutting member 132 enters the switching member 215, causing the second switching portion 215b to lift the second abutting member 132, while the first abutting member 129 abuts against the bottom surface of the first switching portion 215a. Consequently, the first abutting member 129 drives the first linkage member 126 from the first position to the second position via the first lifting member 128; the second abutting member 132 drives the third linkage member 230 from the sixth position to the fifth position via the second lifting member 131. In other words, the first linkage member 126 does not contact the second transmission belt 154, and the third linkage member 230 engages with the second transmission belt 154 to ensure that the trolley 220 receives traction from the second drive assembly 151, ensuring that the trolley 220 climbs the slope in an orderly manner.

[0098] Third embodiment

[0099] See also Figures 8 to 10 , this embodiment provides an aerial suspended conveyor line 300. Specifically, the driving device 140 also includes a third driving assembly 161, and the third driving assembly 161 includes a third driving member 162, a third driven member 163 and a third transmission belt 164. The third driven members 163 are arranged in pairs, and the third driven members 163 can be constructed as pulleys suitable for the third transmission belt 164 and corresponding pivot shafts. The third driven members 163 are arranged in pairs along the extension direction of the corresponding mounting rails. In this embodiment, the third transmission belt 164 is constructed as a closed chain, and accordingly, the pulley in the third driven member 163 is constructed as a sprocket suitable for the chain; the third transmission belt 164 is wound around the third driven members 163 arranged in pairs. The third driving member 162 is transmission-connected to at least one third driven member 163 to drive the third transmission belt 164 to operate. For example Figure 8 In the embodiment, the third driving member 162 is configured as a motor and is connected to one of the third driven members 163 .

[0100] Please continue reading Figures 8 to 10 The first track 111 is connected to the first drive assembly 141, and the second track 112 is connected to the third drive assembly 161. The walking trolley 320 also includes a fourth linkage member 330, which is configured as a top rod suitable for a chain; the fourth linkage member 330 is connected to at least the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123. The fourth linkage member 330 is located above the base plate 125a. For example Figure 9 , the fourth linkage member 330 is connected to the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123. In an embodiment not shown, the fourth linkage member 330 can be connected to the bracket 125 at the first wheel group 123 and the second wheel group 124. Further, the fourth linkage member 330 is movably connected to the bracket 125 between the seventh position and the eighth position. It should be noted that the fourth linkage member 330 in the seventh position is connected to the third drive assembly 161, specifically, is embedded in the gap between the links of the third transmission belt 164 (chain) to move with the third drive assembly 161; the fourth linkage member 330 in the eighth position is disengaged from the third drive assembly 161 (specifically, the third transmission belt 164). Figure 9 In the embodiment, when the traveling trolley 320 is located at the first track 111 , the first linkage member 126 is located at the first position, and the fourth linkage member 330 is located at the eighth position. Figure 10 In the embodiment, when the traveling trolley 320 is located at the second track 112 , the first linkage member 126 is located at the second position, and the fourth linkage member 330 is located at the seventh position.

[0101] See also Figure 8 and Figure 10 The aerial suspension conveyor line 300 further includes a switching member 215, which is consistent with the extension direction of the second track 112 and is connected to the bottom of the second track 112. Specifically, the fourth linkage member 330 is further connected to the second lifting member 131; Figure 9In the embodiment, the second lifting member 131 is constructed as a rod-shaped member and is movably connected to the base plate 125a at the first wheel group 123 along its own axial direction. The second lifting member 131 is connected to a second abutting member 132, which is constructed as a roller and is pivotally connected to the second lifting member 131 along its own axial direction. The second abutting member 132 is located below the base plate 125a so that the fourth linkage member 330 can move between the seventh position and the eighth position relative to the bracket 125. Furthermore, the switching member 215 also has the aforementioned first guide portion and the second guide portion to facilitate the second abutting member 132 to enter and exit the switching member 215. It should be noted that the switching member 215 has a first switching portion 215a and a second switching portion 215b. The switching member 215 can be constructed as two bent parts to respectively form the aforementioned first switching portion 215a and the second switching portion 215b. When the first wheel assembly 123 moves to the second track 112, the second abutting member 132 enters the switching member 215, causing the second switching portion 215b to lift the second abutting member 132, while the first abutting member 129 abuts against the bottom surface of the first switching portion 215a. Consequently, the first abutting member 129 drives the first linkage member 126 from the first position to the second position via the first lifting member 128; the second abutting member 132 drives the fourth linkage member 330 from the eighth position to the seventh position via the second lifting member 131. In other words, the first linkage member 126 does not contact the third transmission belt 164, while the fourth linkage member 330 engages with the third transmission belt 164, specifically, being embedded in the gaps between the chain links, to ensure that the trolley 320 receives traction from the third drive assembly 161, ensuring that the trolley 320 climbs the slope in an orderly manner.

[0102] It should be noted that in the three different embodiments described above, the third track 113 is preferably connected to the aforementioned first drive assembly 141. When the trolley is located on the third track 113, the first linkage member 126, under the action of the first elastic member 127, returns from the second position to the first position to follow the movement of the first drive assembly 141. However, the aforementioned second linkage member 130, third linkage member 230, and fourth linkage member 330, due to their own weight, do not come into contact with the first drive assembly 141 on the third track 113.

[0103] According to the aerial suspension conveyor line of the present invention, in relatively light-load applications, the orderly switching of the linkage components at the walking trolley is utilized to achieve effective power coordination with the drive device, ensuring that the walking trolley can climb smoothly and effectively, thereby increasing the application breadth of relatively light-load aerial suspension conveyor lines and having good market promotion value.

[0104] In addition, the orderly arrangement and combination of the several drive assemblies and corresponding trolleys disclosed in this utility model should also be within the scope of protection of this solution. For example, if the first track, the second track, and the third track are all connected to the aforementioned second drive assembly, the trolley should be equipped with a third linkage member; if the first track and the third track are connected to the aforementioned second drive assembly, and the second track is connected to the aforementioned third drive assembly, the trolley should be equipped with the aforementioned third linkage member and fourth linkage member; and so on.
