Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of containers, in particular to a guide rail plug for containers. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the main form of guide rails used in containers is still U-shaped. The wheels of the trolley move within a set of guide rails. If blocks are not used at the ends, the staff will not be able to see the front end clearly when pushing the trolley in the container, and it will be difficult to control the distance between the trolley and the front wall. This is very likely to cause the trolley to collide with the front wall, causing damage to the container.

[0003] Currently, the main form of stoppers used as guide rail plugs is a C-shaped structure. They are buckled and welded to the inside of the guide rail. Two sets of guide rails use a total of eight C-shaped stoppers to prevent the trolley from colliding with the front wall. C-shaped stoppers require uncoiling, notching, bending, and welding, which is a complex process and seriously affects production efficiency.

[0004] Under the current plug structure, the two parallel sides of the C-shaped block are perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rail and are welded to the bottom of the guide rail. The head and tail parts of the guide rail are blocked. During use, it is difficult to discharge the moisture retained inside the guide rail, which easily causes water accumulation and affects use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a guide rail plug for a container to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a guide rail plug for a container, which is arranged inside the guide rail of the container, the guide rail includes a guide rail bottom edge and two mutually parallel guide rail side edges, the guide rail plug is a cylinder, and the guide rail plug is connected to and only to the guide rail side edge or the guide rail bottom edge.

[0007] Preferably, the axial direction of the guide rail plug is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rail, and the two end faces of the guide rail plug are respectively welded to the two side edges of the guide rail, and the welding height makes the guide rail plug empty above the bottom edge of the guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, when the guide rail plug is arranged at the end of the guide rail, the guide rail plug maintains a distance from the current end face of the guide rail, so that the trolley traveling on the guide rail is blocked by the guide rail plug to prevent it from hitting the container wall.

[0009] Preferably, the axial direction of the guide rail plug is along the length direction of the guide rail, the curved surface of the guide rail plug is welded to the bottom edge of the guide rail, and the distances from the guide rail plug to the two side edges of the guide rail are equal.

[0010] Preferably, when the guide rail plug is arranged at the end of the guide rail, the end surface of the guide rail plug is flush with the end of the guide rail.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the guide rail plug is greater than a limit distance, which is the distance from the wheels of the trolley traveling on the guide rail to the current end face of the guide rail when the trolley collides with the container wall.

[0012] Preferably, the end face diameter of the guide rail plug is smaller than the depth of the guide rail.

[0013] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention adopts a cylinder instead of a C-shaped block, and blocks the trolley from moving forward by welding the cylinder to the inside of the guide rail. Compared with the use of a C-shaped block, the process is simple, and the special installation structure of the cylinder will not cause water accumulation inside the guide rail.

[0022] The utility model discloses a guide rail plug for a container, which is arranged inside a guide rail 2 of a container 1. The guide rail 2 comprises a guide rail bottom edge 22 and two guide rail side edges 21 which are parallel to each other.

[0023] The guide rail plug 3 is a solid cylinder, which can be cut and used by purchasing similar finished parts such as round rods. Compared with the C-shaped block, this processing technology is simpler and more convenient, with a small welding surface, which can improve production efficiency and reduce labor intensity.

[0024] At the same time, in order to keep the inside and outside of the guide rail 2 flowing, drainage can be smooth, and there will be no water accumulation problem, the guide rail plug 3 in the utility model is connected to and only to the guide rail side 21 or the guide rail bottom 22, that is, when the guide rail plug 3 is welded to the guide rail side 21, it does not contact the guide rail bottom 22; when the guide rail plug 3 is welded to the guide rail bottom 22, it does not contact the guide rail side 21.

[0025] According to the above scheme, the following two embodiments are provided.

[0026] Example 1, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 :

[0027] The axis of guide rail plug 3 is perpendicular to the length of guide rail 2. Its two end faces are welded to the two guide rail side edges 21, respectively. The weld height ensures that guide rail plug 3 is clear of the guide rail bottom edge 22. In other words, the length of guide rail plug 3 is exactly equal to the width of the guide rail 2, and the end diameter of guide rail plug 3 is less than the depth of the guide rail 2. Regardless of where guide rail plug 3 is positioned along the length of guide rail 2, the upper surface of the guide rail bottom edge 22 remains unobstructed, ensuring smooth drainage from one end of the guide rail 2 to the other.

[0028] When the guide rail plug 3 is set at the end of the guide rail 2, there needs to be a certain distance between the guide rail plug 3 and the current end face of the guide rail 2 so that the trolley moving on the guide rail 2 is blocked by the guide rail plug 3 to prevent it from hitting the wall of the container 1.

[0029] Example 2, see Figures 6 to 8 :

[0030] The axial direction of the guide rail plug 3 is along the length direction of the guide rail 2, and the curved surface of the guide rail plug 3 is welded to the bottom edge 22 of the guide rail. The end diameter of the guide rail plug 3 is smaller than the depth of the guide rail 2. Generally, the width of the guide rail 2 is greater than the depth, and the width range occupied by the guide rail plug 3 is smaller than the width of the guide rail 2. The guide rail plug 3 will maintain a certain distance from the guide rail side edges 21 on both sides, and the distance from the guide rail plug 3 to the two guide rail side edges 21 is equal, which is reflected in Figure 8 In the middle, the guide rail plug 3 is located in the left and right center position inside the guide rail 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, no matter where the guide rail plug 3 is set on the guide rail 2 in the length direction, both sides of the guide rail plug 3 are empty, and its axis is in the same direction as the length direction of the guide rail 2, so that the accumulated water can flow downstream from both sides of the guide rail plug 3, and the water on the end face of the guide rail plug 3 can also be swept to both sides of the guide rail plug 3, that is, the guide rail plug 3 will not hinder the accumulated water on the bottom edge 22 of the guide rail, and the guide rail 2 can also drain smoothly.

[0032] It is important to note that when the guide rail plug 3 is installed at the end of the guide rail 2, the end surface of the guide rail plug 3 needs to be flush with the end of the guide rail 2, which can save the work of cleaning the end surface water. On this basis, the length of the guide rail plug 3 should be kept greater than the limit distance. The limit distance is the distance from the wheels of the trolley on the guide rail 2 to the current end surface of the guide rail 2 when the trolley collides with the wall of the container 1, to prevent the trolley from colliding with the wall of the container 1.

[0033] Based on the above two embodiments, after purchasing the guide rail plugs 3 such as round bars, use a cutting machine to cut them into different required lengths; after cutting, use a welding machine to weld them to the required positions at the front and rear ends of the guide rail 2. In addition to the front and rear ends, the guide rail plugs 3 can also be welded to different positions in the guide rail 2 according to customer specifications so that the trolley can move in the guide rail 2.

[0034] In summary, the present invention adopts a cylinder instead of a C-shaped stopper to stop the trolley from moving forward, which has a simple process and will not cause water accumulation inside the guide rail 2.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
