[0002] Guide rail conveyor lines play a crucial role in the handling and precise transport of materials and products in automated production, controlling the production rhythm of the entire production line and serving as a core component. Traditional guide rail conveyor lines generally employ magnetic drives, such as magnetically driven flexible conveyor lines. However, these systems experience long waiting times between production and loading, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, they cannot be configured to operate at speeds appropriate to actual work demands and are ill-suited to harsh environments such as those with oil stains or metal scraps, ultimately failing to meet production requirements.

By adopting the gear and rack independent drive method, the long waiting time between production and feeding of the conveyor line can be effectively solved, greatly shortening the production time, thereby improving efficiency and saving costs. It is also highly flexible, and the corresponding working speed can be set according to the actual working efficiency. It can operate in harsh environments such as oil and iron filings, and has strong adaptability to working environment.

[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the rack and pinion independently driven control circulation line includes a vertical conveying double-rail structure, a horizontal conveying double-rail structure, a connecting conveying double-rail structure, a vertical independent gear drive mechanism, a horizontal independent gear drive mechanism, a linear slide rail 15, and a track slide moving plate 16. The connecting conveying double-rail structure is slidably mounted on the vertical conveying double-rail structure. The vertical independent gear drive mechanism is mounted at the bottom of the connecting conveying double-rail structure. The track slide moving plate 16 is mounted on the linear slide rail 15. The horizontal independent gear drive mechanism is connected to the linear slide rail 15 in a transmission manner. It can be understood that this rack and pinion independently driven control circulation line effectively solves the problem of long waiting time between production and material loading in conveyor lines, greatly shortening production time, thereby improving efficiency and saving costs. Compared with other types, such as magnetically driven flexible conveyors, material costs are reduced by 3-5 times.
[0020] Specifically, the vertical conveying double-track structure includes a first vertical conveying double-track structure 1 and a second vertical conveying double-track structure 2; the horizontal conveying double-track structure includes a first horizontal conveying double-track structure 3 and a second horizontal conveying double-track structure 4; the first vertical conveying double-track structure 1 and the second vertical conveying double-track structure 2 are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the first horizontal conveying double-track structure 3 and the second horizontal conveying double-track structure 4; the connecting conveying double-track structure includes a first connecting conveying structure 5 and a second connecting conveying structure 6; the first connecting conveying structure 5 and the second connecting conveying structure 6 are respectively slidably installed on the first vertical conveying double-track structure 1 and the second vertical conveying double-track structure 2.
[0021] Specifically, the transverse independent gear drive mechanism includes a first transverse independent gear drive mechanism 7, a second transverse independent gear drive mechanism 8, a third transverse independent gear drive mechanism 9, a fourth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 10, a fifth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 11, and a sixth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 12. The first transverse independent gear drive mechanism 7 and the second transverse independent gear drive mechanism 8 are both installed inside the first transverse conveying double track structure 3. The third transverse independent gear drive mechanism 9 and the fourth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 10 are both installed inside the second transverse conveying double track structure 4. The fifth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 11 and the sixth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 12 are respectively installed inside the first connecting conveying structure 5 and the second connecting conveying structure 6. The vertical independent gear drive mechanism includes a first vertical independent gear drive mechanism 13 and a second vertical independent gear drive mechanism 14. The first vertical independent gear drive mechanism 13 and the second vertical independent gear drive mechanism 14 are respectively installed at the bottom of the first connecting conveying structure 5 and the second connecting conveying structure 6.
[0022] Specifically, the vertical independent gear drive mechanism consists of a vertical servo motor 17, a vertical gear 18, and a vertical rack 19. The vertical servo motor 17 is mounted on the connecting conveyor double-rail structure. The vertical gear 18 is driven by the vertical servo motor 17, and the vertical gear 18 is meshed with the side of the vertical rack 19. The horizontal independent gear drive mechanism consists of a horizontal servo motor 20 and a horizontal gear 21. The horizontal gear 21 is driven by the horizontal servo motor 20, and the horizontal gear 21 is meshed with the bottom of the linear slide rail 15.
[0023] The working principle of this independent gear and rack drive control loop is understandable: the servo motor control method uses bus control or pulse control, and the positioning accuracy is controlled by traveling a fixed distance or a fixed number of pulses. When returning to the origin, the linear slide rail on the first transverse conveying double rail structure 3 at the loading position moves to the loading origin position under the transmission of the first transverse independent gear drive mechanism 7 and the second transverse independent gear drive mechanism 8. The linear slide rail on the second transverse conveying double rail structure 4 at the working position moves to the working origin position under the transmission of the third transverse independent gear drive mechanism 9 and the fourth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 10. At the same time, the feeding position and the unloading position return to their original positions under the transmission of the third transverse independent gear drive mechanism 9 and the fourth transverse independent gear drive mechanism 10. All independent gear drive mechanisms need to return to the origin position. When the workstation is running, the loading position / feeding position / working position / unloading position run synchronously under the drive of the corresponding independent gear drive mechanism. The independent gear drive mechanism needs to rotate by the same angle to seamlessly connect with the rack and pinion of the adjacent independent gear drive mechanism to achieve the transmission function. Operating sequence: After returning to the origin, the loading position releases the material, runs a certain distance and waits, the working position processes the product, and the processing speed slows down. At this time, the feeding position starts feeding the material at the end 4 of the second transverse conveyor double track structure. After feeding the material, it returns to the end 3 of the first transverse conveyor double track structure to wait for receiving the material. At the same time, the unloading position receives the processed product and unloads it, and returns to the end 3 of the first transverse conveyor double track structure to wait for feeding the material, thus realizing a closed-loop adjustable speed circulating conveyor production line.
[0024] Understandably, this utility model has a reasonable design and unique structure. It adopts an independent gear and rack drive method. The vertical independent gear drive mechanism and the horizontal independent gear drive mechanism drive the track slide plate 16 on the linear slide rail 15 to move a fixed distance, thereby realizing a closed-loop conveying cycle motion. It can effectively solve the problem of long waiting time between production and material loading in the conveyor line, greatly shorten the production time, thereby improving efficiency and saving costs. It is also highly flexible, and can set the corresponding working speed according to the actual working efficiency. It can operate in harsh environments such as oil stains / iron filings, and has strong adaptability to working environment.

For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
