Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production and processing technology, specifically to a paint skid with adjustable length. Background Technology
[0002] Topcoat skids are an important conveyor in automotive painting production lines. They are mainly used to carry and transport car bodies for topcoat spraying. Their main function is to ensure the smooth and continuous transport of car bodies in the painting line, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of topcoat spraying. This is of great significance for improving the automation level and production efficiency of the painting production line, while also helping to reduce production costs and improve product quality.
[0003] Currently, paint skids on the market typically have a fixed length. When transporting large items, multiple skids often need to be spliced together, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but may also lead to unstable sliding and affect transportation efficiency. In addition, during the sliding process, the lack of a stable support structure often causes wobbling or deviation, which not only affects the smoothness of the sliding but may also pose a safety hazard to the transported items. Therefore, adjustable-length paint skids are proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

It solves the problem that paint skids on the market usually have a fixed length. When transporting large items, multiple skids often need to be spliced together, which not only increases the complexity of operation but may also lead to unstable sliding and affect transportation efficiency. In addition, during the sliding process, the lack of a stable support structure often causes wobbling or deviation, which not only affects the smoothness of sliding but may also pose a safety hazard to the transported items.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the aforementioned goal of increasing sliding stability, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] The support mechanism includes support rails at both the left and right ends, and a skid plate is provided above the two support rails. Racks are fixedly installed at both the left and right ends of the bottom of the skid plate. A storage groove is opened inside the front end of the skid plate, and an extension plate is slidably connected inside the storage groove.
[0010] The transmission mechanism includes a row of mounting slots opened on the top of two support rails. Each mounting slot is rotatably connected to a transmission gear. Each transmission gear in the support rail is connected to a transmission belt. The racks at the left and right ends of the skid plate mesh with the transmission gears on the two support rails respectively.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the outer wall of the support track away from the skid plate is provided with a groove, and a pulley is slidably connected in the middle of the groove.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable-length painted skid, which has the following advantages:
[0018] This adjustable-length paint skid, through the meshing of the rack at the bottom of the skid with the transmission gear on the support rail, and the connection of the transmission belt between the transmission gears, enables the skid to slide smoothly and be precisely positioned on the support rail. This not only increases sliding stability but also allows the length of the paint skid to be adjusted according to actual needs. When the skid length needs to be extended, simply drive the skid to one end of the support rail via the transmission mechanism, and simultaneously unfold the extension plate in the storage slot to achieve flexible length adjustment. This function improves the applicability of the paint skid and facilitates the sliding transportation of items of different sizes. At the same time, the cooperation between the sliding groove and the pulley further enhances the stability of the extension plate in the extended state, avoiding the impact of shaking or offset on the sliding effect. The connection design between the fixed plate and the support plate ensures that the pulley can slide smoothly in the sliding groove, providing strong support for the stable unfolding of the extension plate.
