[0037] In the anti-skid block provided in the embodiment of the utility model, the anti-skid block is applied to the guide rail, so that when the robot travels on the guide rail, the anti-skid block increases the friction resistance of the guide rail to the robot, compared with the traditional metal smooth surface guide rail, the guide rail provided with the anti-skid block has a larger friction coefficient, therefore, the robot still has a high friction force between the wheel device and the guide rail in the case of a large moving speed, emergency stop brake, sudden acceleration, or movement on an inclined surface, a curve, a wet guide rail surface, etc., the force enables the robot to stably advance, turn and brake, and the robot is less likely to slip, so that the object can be kept in a predetermined position, thereby the robot can realize high-precision movement and positioning, the positioning signal loss probability is reduced, the artificial maintenance cost is reduced, the transportation efficiency is improved, and automation is comprehensively realized. In addition, the anti-skid block can reduce the wear of the guide rail system, because the movement of the object on the guide rail is more stable, the wear caused by sliding friction is reduced, the service life of the guide rail and the moving device is improved, and in a system that needs to be frequently started, stopped or changed in direction, the anti-skid block helps to reduce the energy loss caused by sliding, improve the energy utilization efficiency, and save energy; by reducing the direct sliding between the object and the guide rail, the anti-skid block helps to reduce the noise and vibration generated during operation, and creates a more comfortable working environment.

[0038] The front surface of the anti-skid block body 12 is provided with a plurality of convex structures 12a, and there is a gap between the top of the convex structures 12a, which makes the tire of the wheel pressed into the top of the plurality of convex structures when the wheel passes, and the plurality of convex structures are in full contact with the tire, significantly increasing the contact area of the tire and the surface of the guide rail and the friction resistance, so that the convex structure can limit the running speed of the tire, improve the anti-skid effect of the anti-skid block on the guide rail, and significantly reduce the risk of accidents. On an inclined or inclined guide rail, the anti-skid block can effectively prevent the object from sliding down due to gravity, and the safety is also improved. The size of the gap and the size change of the plurality of gaps are not specially limited in the application. In order to achieve uniform anti-skid effect, as a preferred embodiment, the plurality of convex structures are uniformly distributed on the anti-skid block body, so that the plurality of adjacent gaps are uniform.

[0039] The projection area of the convex structure of the anti-skid block in the thickness direction of the anti-skid block matches the height of the convex structure and the above-mentioned gap. In some embodiments, the convex structure on the anti-skid block can be adjusted according to the diameter of the wheel that travels on it. When the wheel diameter is small, the convex height is small and dense, which has a better anti-skid effect; when the wheel diameter is large, the convex height can be high and sparse, which ensures the stability and low noise of the wheel operation. When the wheel is pressed on the anti-skid strip, the convex structure on the anti-skid strip will be embedded in the flexible material of the wheel, thereby increasing the friction force between the wheel and the anti-skid strip, so that the matching size of the convex structure anti-skid strip guide rail can be adjusted according to the weight, wheel area, etc.

[0040] The shape of the protruding structure is not particularly limited in the present application, and the protruding structure can be a cylinder, a triangular pyramid, a cube, a circular truncated cone, or various geometric bodies, all of which can achieve the anti-skid effect. As a preferred embodiment, the protruding structure comprises at least one of a prism, a pyramid, a cylinder, and a cone.

[0041] In addition, the anti-skid block is also provided with a connecting block group for fixed connection with the guide rail. On the one hand, such a connecting block group makes the anti-skid block easy to install and disassemble on the guide rail. The anti-skid block is designed as a modular structure that is easy to install and disassemble, which makes the maintenance and upgrading of the guide rail system more convenient. When the anti-skid block is worn or damaged, it can be quickly replaced, reducing downtime, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the system, and reducing installation and maintenance costs. On the other hand, in order to improve the stability of the anti-skid block on the guide rail, when the anti-skid block provides higher friction resistance, the robot also exerts greater interaction force on the anti-skid block on the guide rail. The provision of such a connecting block group provides the anti-skid block with stronger stability on the guide rail, so that the anti-skid block is not easy to come off, slide or deviate from the guide rail when bearing a larger reaction force.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting block group 12b includes a first connecting block 12b1 and a second connecting block 12b2 arranged opposite along the length or width direction of the anti-skid block. The first connecting block includes an engaging portion and a clamping portion. The engaging portion is inserted into the fixed hole 11a to limit the movement of the anti-skid block in any direction on the surface of the track. The end of the engaging portion extends to form the clamping portion, which has a locking surface that cooperates with the base to limit the movement of the anti-skid block in the thickness direction. The second connecting block corresponds to the first connecting block one by one.

[0043] In order to make the anti-skid block of the present application easy to install and disassemble, and easy to update and maintain, as a preferred embodiment, the clamping portion also has a guide surface with an inclination angle set in the thickness direction of the anti-skid block, which is used to guide the insertion of the connecting block group into the fixed hole. In some embodiments, by applying pressure to the connecting block group, the first connecting block and the second connecting block are bent inward, and the corresponding clamping portion is more easily guided into the fixed hole by the guide surface. And pass through the fixed hole, once the clamping portion completely passes through the fixed hole, the applied pressure disappears, and the connecting block group restores its original shape, so that the locking surface of the clamping portion is clamped with the base surface of the edge of the fixed hole, achieving the locking effect. This arrangement makes the anti-skid block inserted into the base of the guide rail at a predetermined insertion angle and force, reduces the lubrication means between the anti-skid block and the base of the guide rail, and can ensure the fixed connection of the anti-skid block with the base of the guide rail, ensuring the stability during operation,

[0044] On the one hand, the connection block group is easier to install than traditional screws or glue. On the other hand, the connection block group is also easier to disassemble. In some embodiments, to release the locking between the connection block group and the base, it is usually necessary to apply a reverse force or use a tool to press the connection block group, so that it is bent and releases the buckling part from the fixing hole.

[0045] The anti-skid block of the present application needs to bear the load during transportation. In order to improve the load bearing capacity of the anti-skid block, as shown in Figure 2 As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 12c are formed on the back surface of the anti-skid block, the reinforcing ribs extend in the thickness direction of the anti-skid block, and a support surface corresponding to the back surface of the anti-skid block is formed, which is used to contact and support the base. As a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing ribs are arranged in the length and width directions of the anti-skid block, forming a grid distribution. This distribution can achieve more uniform stress dispersion, so that the anti-skid block can evenly distribute the load through the reinforcing ribs, avoid load concentration, and prevent the anti-skid block from being damaged, thereby increasing the service life and safety of the anti-skid block.

[0046] The structure of the guide rail is not specially limited in the present application. As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The guide rail further comprises a baffle 13 and a mounting portion 14, the length direction of the baffle and the mounting portion is consistent with the length direction of the guide rail, the baffle is arranged on the side of the base facing the anti-skid block and connected with the base, and the mounting portion is arranged on the side of the base away from the anti-skid block and connected with the base. The baffle can prevent the robot from deviating or leaving the guide rail when transporting on the guide rail, thereby improving stability and safety, and the mounting portion can facilitate the installation of the guide rail on various surfaces.

[0047] The materials of the mounting portion and the baffle can be materials with strength and convenient for molding, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel and other metal materials, or plastic materials.

[0048] The material of the anti-skid block is not specially limited in the present application. As a preferred embodiment, the material of the anti-skid block comprises plastic. The use of plastic enables the anti-skid block to be processed by injection molding or 3D printing, and the high processing precision can achieve precise processing of the protruding structure while reducing material costs. In some embodiments, a plurality of anti-skid blocks are arranged on the guide rail. In order to facilitate replacement, the use of plastic material including corresponding injection molding or printing method can produce a large number of anti-skid blocks in a short time, and the high plasticity of plastic enables the anti-skid block to be easily processed into a bendable anti-skid block, which is suitable for various curved guide rails and guide rails with various angles.
