[0027] Clearly, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] The utility model provides an embodiment of EMS conveying track switching mechanism: as Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 6 The utility model discloses an embodiment of EMS conveying track switching mechanism: as shown in the drawing, including fixed frame 11 and movable frame 21, the lower side of fixed frame 11 is equipped with normal ride-in section track 51, and the lower other side is equipped with normal ride-out section track 52 and maintenance section track 53 respectively, and the lower side of movable frame 21 is equipped with movable straight track 54 and movable curved track 55 respectively, is equipped with a plurality of walking bearing wheel 22 on movable frame 21, movable frame 21 is slidably arranged on fixed frame 11 through walking bearing wheel 22, and movable frame 21 and fixed frame 11 are rolled and slid between the sliding of this, guarantee that the normal sliding between both can reduce use cost, and movable frame 21 and fixed frame 11 are connected with electric telescopic device 31 along the sliding direction, for driving movable frame 21 to slide on fixed frame 11;
[0029] Electric telescopic device 31 slides movable frame 21 on fixed frame 11 through the driving, and the position of movable straight track 54 and movable curved track 55 is adjusted synchronously, and movable straight track 54 is connected between normal ride-in section track 51 and normal ride-out section track 52, or movable curved track 55 is connected between normal ride-in section track 51 and maintenance section track 53, so that normal ride-in section track 51 and normal ride-out section track 52 are communicated through movable straight track 54, or normal ride-in section track 51 and maintenance section track 53 are communicated through movable curved track 55;
[0030] When normal ride-in section track 51 and normal ride-out section track 52 are communicated, normal ride-in section track 51 and maintenance section track 53 are in the uncommunicated state, and at this moment, EMS walking trolley can move along normal ride-in section track 51, movable straight track 54 and normal ride-out section track 52 and carry out normal workpiece conveying work;
[0031] When normal ride-in section track 51 and maintenance section track 53 are communicated, normal ride-in section track 51 and normal ride-out section track 52 are in the uncommunicated state, and at this moment, EMS walking trolley can move along normal ride-in section track 51 and movable curved track 55 and arrive on maintenance section track 53;
[0032] In summary, when the EMS walking trolley along the normal entry section track 51, the movable straight track 54 and the normal exit section track 52 needs to be repaired, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic device 31 can be manually controlled to slide, thereby driving the control movable frame 21 to slide. At this time, the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52 can be disconnected, and the normal entry section track 51 and the maintenance section track 53 are connected, thereby transferring the EMS walking trolley to the maintenance section track 53 for repair. Then, the movable frame 21 is slid back to the original position to connect the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52. At this time, other EMS walking trolleys can also work normally along the normal entry section track 51, the movable straight track 54 and the normal exit section track 52. Therefore, when a group of EMS walking trolleys needs to be repaired, only the corresponding EMS walking trolley needs to be removed for repair, without the need for whole line shutdown repair, thereby ensuring the normal work of other EMS walking trolleys and improving the utilization rate and production efficiency of the line.
[0033] The electric telescopic device 31 is an electric push rod, which can make the movable frame 21 slide with high precision, convenient operation, low noise operation and high reliability.
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the fixed frame 11 includes two longitudinal beams 1101 and two transverse beams 1102, the two transverse beams 1102 are fixedly connected between the two longitudinal beams 1101, and the longitudinal beam 1101 is an I-beam. The walking bearing wheel 22 is located inside the I-beam type longitudinal beam 1101, and the upper and lower flanges and the middle web of the I-beam type longitudinal beam 1101 can limit the walking bearing wheel 22 to a certain extent to prevent the walking bearing wheel 22 from derailing and ensure the stability of the sliding and switching process of the movable frame 21.
[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the fixed frame 11 is provided with a first travel switch 41 and a second travel switch 42 in sequence along the sliding direction of the movable frame 21. The first travel switch 41 and the second travel switch 42 are respectively connected with the electric telescopic device 31. The outside of the movable frame 21 is provided with a position detection bracket 43 for pressing the first travel switch 41 or the second travel switch 42;
[0036] When the electric push rod drives the movable frame 21 to slide on the fixed frame 11 to switch, the position detection bracket 43 also slides with the movable frame 21, and when the movable straight track 54 slides to the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52 and connects the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52, the position detection bracket 43 just presses the first travel switch 41, at this time, the first travel switch 41 can control the telescopic end of the electric push rod to stop sliding, and thus the movable straight track 54 is accurately slid and stopped between the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52;
[0037] When the movable curved track 55 slides to the normal entry section track 51 and the maintenance section track 53 and connects the normal entry section track 51 and the maintenance section track 53, the position detection bracket 43 just presses the second travel switch 42, at this time, the second travel switch 42 can also control the telescopic end of the electric push rod to stop sliding, and thus the movable curved track 55 is accurately slid and stopped between the normal entry section track 51 and the maintenance section track 53;
[0038] Therefore, the first travel switch 41 and the second travel switch 42 can timely limit the switching sliding of the movable frame 21, and thus the purpose of accurately positioning the movable straight track 54 or the movable curved track 55 to the specified position in switching is achieved, so as to improve the switching work accuracy and ensure that the movable straight track 54 and the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52 or the movable curved track 55 and the normal entry section track 51 and the maintenance section track 53 can be accurately connected.
[0039] As shown in Figure 4 As shown in Figure 6 Two groups of hard limiting components 23 are arranged on the movable frame 21, and the two groups of hard limiting components 23 are distributed according to a certain interval along the sliding direction of the movable frame 21;
[0040] Moreover, the two groups of hard limiting components 23 are arranged at two ends of the movable frame 21, when the movable straight track 54 slides to the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52 and connects the two, one group of hard limiting components 23 just contacts the fixed frame 11, and thus the movable frame 21 is limited, to prevent the movable frame 21 from further sliding;
[0041] When the movable curved track 55 slides to the normal entry section track 51 and the maintenance section track 53 and connects the two, the other group of hard limiting components 23 also just contacts the fixed frame 11, and thus the movable frame 21 is also limited, to prevent the movable frame 21 from further sliding;
[0042] In summary, the two groups of hard limiting components 23 can further limit the sliding of the movable frame 21, and the two groups of hard limiting components 23 can cooperate with the self-locking characteristics of the electric push rod to make the movable straight track 54 and the movable curved track 55 stably stop at the specified position, ensuring the smooth passing of the EMS walking trolley.
[0043] The hard limiting component 23 comprises a limiting bolt 2301 and a nut 2302, the nut 2302 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 21, and the limiting bolt 2301 is threadedly connected to the nut 2302;
[0044] By screwing the limiting bolt 2301 on the nut 2302, the distance between the limiting bolt 2301 and the fixed frame 11 in switching the sliding direction can be adjusted, so that the hard limiting component 23 can be adapted and adjusted according to the actual limiting requirements, improving its versatility and practicality.
[0045] As shown in Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5 The fixed beam 12 is arranged on the upper part of the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52, a plurality of first connecting pieces 13 are connected between the fixed beam 12 and the normal entry section track 51 and between the fixed beam 12 and the normal exit section track 52, the fixed beam 12 is fixed to the top of the factory workshop, and the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52 are suspended and installed under the fixed beam 12 through the plurality of first connecting pieces 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the normal entry section track 51 and the normal exit section track 52.
[0046] As shown in Figure 5 The second connecting piece 14 is connected between the fixed frame 11 and the normal entry section track 51, between the fixed frame 11 and the normal exit section track 52, and between the fixed frame 11 and the maintenance section track 53, and the plurality of second connecting pieces 14 are respectively installed at the end of the normal entry section track 51, the normal exit section track 52, and the maintenance section track 53 close to the fixed frame 11, thereby improving the stability of the butt joint, minimizing the downward collapse of the butt joint when the EMS walking trolley walks to the butt joint, thereby improving the flatness of the butt joint and enabling the EMS walking trolley to smoothly pass through.
[0047] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the third connecting pieces 24 are connected between the movable frame 21 and the movable straight rail 54 and between the movable frame 21 and the movable curved rail 55, so that the movable straight rail 54 and the movable curved rail 55 can form a stable frame with the movable frame 21, which can be used for the EMS walking trolley to stably transit to the normal driving section rail 52 or the maintenance section rail 53, and the stable whole frame can still maintain high precision after the reciprocating switching of the movable frame 21, which reduces the front and back and left and right deviation of the movable straight rail 54 or the movable curved rail 55 after being positioned, and further improves the stability of the switching mechanism.
[0048] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
