[0042] Tracks and track carriers play an important role in automated production and logistics systems. A track is a channel used to guide the flow of fluids, such as plastic, metal, and other materials, in molds or automated equipment. A track carrier is a device used to carry and transport products or materials on an automated production line. Track carriers often work in conjunction with track systems to ensure efficient transportation and precise positioning of products during the production process. Contemporary track and track carrier systems are increasingly intelligent, capable of achieving autonomous navigation, automatic obstacle avoidance, and intelligent scheduling.
[0043] In the prior art, to achieve precise positioning of the track carrier, a limiting mechanism is provided in front of the track carrier along its moving direction. When the track carrier moves to the preset position, the track carrier will collide with the limiting mechanism, thereby achieving precise positioning. However, in actual operation, the track carrier will bounce when it comes into high-speed contact with the front blocking mechanism, resulting in front and back deviations in the positioning of the track carrier at the operating position, which cannot achieve precise positioning, thereby affecting subsequent operations and reducing operation efficiency.
[0044] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application disclose a blocking assembly that can achieve positioning of the track carrier and prevent the track carrier from moving in the direction opposite to the moving direction after contacting the front blocking mechanism, thereby ensuring the quality of subsequent operations and improving operation and transportation efficiency.
[0045] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings.
[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a blocking assembly 100 disclosed by embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a blocking assembly 100 disclosed by embodiments of the present application (omitting the stopper 2).
[0047] Embodiments of the present application disclose a blocking assembly 100 for positioning a carrier on a track, specifically comprising:
[0048] A mounting seat 1, which is arranged on a track (not shown in the figure);
[0049] A stopper 2, which is rotationally arranged on the mounting seat 1, and a part of the stopper 2 is located on a moving path of the carrier;
[0050] The stopper 2 is configured to, when the carrier (not shown in the figure) contacts the stopper 2, the carrier can push the stopper 2 to rotate on the mounting seat 1 to make the stopper 2 avoid the carrier, and when the carrier separates from the stopper 2, the stopper 2 can reset to prevent the carrier from moving in the opposite direction of the moving direction of the carrier.
[0051] Specifically, the mounting seat 1 is a basic structural component of the blocking assembly 100, which plays a role in supporting and positioning other components, and provides a stable frame foundation for the blocking assembly 100.
[0052] The stopper 2 is rotationally arranged on the mounting seat 1, and a part of the stopper 2 is located on the moving path of the carrier, and the function of the stopper 2 is mainly to play a specific blocking and limiting role in the moving process of the carrier.
[0053] In one embodiment, when the carrier moves along a preset path on the track and contacts the stopper 2, because a part of the stopper 2 is located on the moving path of the carrier, and the stopper 2 is rotationally arranged on the mounting seat 1, the carrier pushes the stopper 2 to rotate, so that the carrier can continue to move along the preset path.
[0054] In one embodiment, when the carrier moves along a preset path on the track and separates from the stopper 2, the stopper 2 resets because there is no pushing force provided by the carrier, and the carrier continues to move along the preset path.
[0055] In one embodiment, when the carrier moves along a preset path on the track and moves to a preset position, the carrier collides with a front blocking mechanism (not shown in the figure) located downstream of the blocking assembly 100, and stops moving along the preset path after the collision, and the carrier moves in the opposite direction of the moving direction because of the collision with the front blocking mechanism, at this time, the stopper 2 is located on the moving path of the carrier, and the carrier contacts the stopper 2 and stops moving.
[0056] In the blocking assembly 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application, the mounting seat 1 is arranged on the track, and the stopper 2 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 1, and part of the stopper 2 is located on the moving path of the carrier, so that when the carrier collides with the front blocking mechanism downstream after the carrier collides with the front blocking mechanism, the carrier moves in the opposite direction of the moving direction of the carrier. Thus, the blocking assembly 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application prevents the carrier from moving in the opposite direction of the moving direction of the carrier, ensures that the carrier can be positioned at the preset position, and prevents the carrier from deviating from the preset position after colliding with the front blocking mechanism, realizes accurate positioning of the carrier on the track, ensures the quality of subsequent operation, and improves the operation and transportation efficiency.
[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the stopper 2 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 1 through the support shaft 3, the support shaft 3 extends in the horizontal direction and perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier, and the support shaft 3 is arranged to deviate from the center of gravity of the stopper 2 in the moving direction of the carrier, the stopper 2 includes the first end 21 and the second end 22 arranged in sequence in the moving direction of the carrier, the center of gravity of the stopper 2 is located between the support shaft 3 and the first end 21, and when the stopper 2 is located at the initial position, the second end 22 of the stopper 2 is higher than the first end 21 and the second end 22 is located on the moving path of the carrier.
[0058] In one embodiment, when the carrier moves on the track along the preset path and does not contact the stopper 2, because the center of gravity of the stopper 2 is located between the support shaft 3 and the first end 21, the second end 22 of the stopper 2 is higher than the first end 21, and the second end 22 of the stopper 2 is located on the moving path of the carrier.
[0059] In one embodiment, when the carrier moves on the track along the preset path and contacts the stopper 2, the carrier contacts the second end 22 and pushes the second end 22, so that the stopper 2 rotates around the support shaft 3, the second end 22 avoids the carrier because it is pushed, and the carrier continues to move.
[0060] In one embodiment, when the carrier continues to move and separates from the stopper 2, the stopper 2 resets because there is no external force, and because the center of gravity of the stopper 2 is located between the support shaft 3 and the first end 21, the second end 22 rotates upward due to the gravity of the stopper 2, and the first end 21 rotates downward.
[0061] In one embodiment, when the carrier moves on the track along the preset path and moves to the preset position, the carrier collides with the front blocking mechanism located downstream of the blocking assembly 100, and stops moving along the preset path after the collision, and the carrier moves in the opposite direction of the moving direction due to the collision with the front blocking mechanism, at this time, the carrier contacts the second end 22 and stops moving.
[0062] The center of gravity of the stopper 2 is located between the support shaft 3 and the first end 21, and the stopper 2 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 1 through the support shaft 3, and different state conversions are realized by relying on its own gravity and the pushing of the carrier. Compared with the stopper device adopting an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic driving mode, the structure of the blocking assembly 100 can be simplified. Moreover, since there is no complex driving and control component, expensive motors, hydraulic pumps or pneumatic elements need not be purchased, and the cost and maintenance difficulty of the blocking assembly 100 are reduced.
[0063] On the other hand, when the carrier contacts the stopper 2, the stopper 2 can immediately respond to the pushing force of the carrier and rotate around the support shaft 3, and the second end 22 avoids the carrier. When the carrier leaves, the stopper 2 can quickly reset according to its own gravity. The natural response process of the stopper 2 based on gravity has almost no delay, and the stopping demand of the carrier can be met.
[0064] Optionally, referring to Figures 5 to 9 , the blocking assembly 100 further comprises a counterweight arranged on the stopper 2, and the counterweight is located between the support shaft 3 and the first end 21.
[0065] It can be understood that the counterweight is arranged between the support shaft 3 and the first end 21, that is, away from the second end 22. Compared with not arranging the counterweight, after arranging the counterweight, the stopper 2 can rotate faster when resetting due to the increased weight of the first end 21, so as to ensure that the second end 22 is located on the moving path of the carrier when the carrier collides with the front blocking mechanism and rebounds, and then ensure the quick resetting of the stopper 2 and the resetting stability of the blocking assembly 100. Moreover, the counterweight helps to maintain the stability of the stopper 2 during the resetting process. Since the weight of the first end 21 is increased, the stopper 2 is not easily disturbed and cannot reset in time when rotating around the support shaft 3 to reset, so as to ensure the resetting stability of the stopper 2.
[0066] Optionally, the counterweight is detachably arranged on the stopper 2.
[0067] In different working scenarios or different carrier operation requirements, different center of gravity positions of the stopper 2 may be required. The detachable counterweight can be conveniently replaced or adjusted in the mounting position on the stopper 2, so as to realize the precise adjustment of the center of gravity of the stopper 2. When the weight or speed of the carrier changes, the performance of the stopper 2 can be optimized by replacing the counterweight with different weights or changing the mounting position of the counterweight. Moreover, the detachable counterweight makes the blocking assembly 100 more easily adapt to various different equipment or process flows, and different stoppers 2 need not be specially designed for each different application scenario. Only the counterweight needs to be adjusted, the universality and compatibility of the blocking assembly 100 are improved.
[0068] On the other hand, if the counterweight needs to be maintained, the detachable design can conveniently detach the counterweight from the stopper 2 for maintenance or replacement, without the need to disassemble the entire stopper 2 or blocking assembly 100, thereby reducing the maintenance cost and difficulty.
[0069] For example, referring to Figures 5 to 9 , the number of counterweights can be multiple, the stopper 2 is provided with a first counterweight hole 24 and a second counterweight hole 25 near the first end 21, and the number of counterweights is two, and the two counterweights are respectively detachably arranged in the first counterweight hole 24 and the second counterweight hole 25. The number of counterweights and the number of counterweight holes are not limited in the present application.
[0070] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the mounting seat 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11, the groove opening of the mounting groove 11 faces upward, the stopper 2 is arranged in the mounting groove 11, the stopper 2 is rotationally connected with the groove wall of the mounting groove 11, and the second end 22 of the stopper 2 extends out of the groove opening.
[0071] Firstly, the mounting groove 11 can position and limit the stopper 2 when the stopper 2 rotates, the stopper 2 is rotationally connected with the groove wall of the mounting groove 11, the shape and size of the mounting groove 11 limit the movement of the stopper 2 in other directions except rotation, prevent unnecessary displacement of the stopper 2 during work, ensure the stability of the action of the stopper 2 when blocking and avoiding the carrier, and avoid that the carrier cannot be normally blocked or passed due to the deviation of the stopper 2.
[0072] Secondly, the mounting groove 11 can reduce the collision of the stopper 2. Since the stopper 2 is located in the mounting groove 11, the surrounding groove wall can buffer and protect the stopper 2. If there is no mounting groove 11, the stopper 2 is directly exposed to the outside, and the stopper 2 is more likely to be accidentally collided during the movement of the personnel around the blocking assembly 100 or other equipment components, thereby affecting its normal blocking function.
[0073] Optionally, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the mounting seat 1 is further provided with a first mounting hole 12 and a second mounting hole 13 along a direction parallel to the support shaft 3, the first mounting hole 12 and the second mounting hole 13 are arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the carrier, the support shaft 3 is detachably connected with the stopper 2, the support shaft 3 can cooperate with the first mounting hole 12 or the second mounting hole 13, and when the support shaft 3 is connected with the first mounting hole 12 or the second mounting hole 13, the second end 22 of the stopper 2 can extend out of the groove opening.
[0074] It can be understood that when the support shaft 3 is arranged in the first mounting hole 12, the position of the stopper 2 is as shown in Figure 1As shown, the moving direction of the carrier is the first direction, and the carrier can push the stopper 2 to move when the carrier moves. When the carrier needs to move on the track in the second direction, which is the opposite direction of the first direction, the support shaft 3 can be detached from the first mounting hole 12 and mounted to the second mounting hole 13, and the stopper 2 changes the position in the mounting groove 11 along with the support shaft 3. In this way, when the carrier moves in the second direction and contacts the stopper 2, the stopper 2 can be normally pushed, and the stopper 2 gives way after the carrier contacts the front blocking mechanism downstream, and the stopper 2 can normally prevent the carrier from moving.
[0075] Compared with the overall disassembly and reinstallation of the blocking assembly 100, the disassembly and reinstallation of the stopper 2 and the support shaft 3 are relatively simple. When disassembled as a whole, the connectors need to be processed one by one, and when the mounting hole of the support shaft 3 is changed, the other parts of the blocking assembly 100 do not need to be disassembled and installed, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and installation.
[0076] And the overall disassembly and reinstallation may cause the position accuracy of the blocking assembly 100 to change, and need to be debugged and calibrated again. Only the support shaft 3 and the stopper 2 are disassembled, and the position of the mounting seat 1 does not need to be changed, so the position accuracy of the blocking assembly 100 is easier to maintain, reducing the workload of re-debugging.
[0077] Please refer to Figure 3 The mounting seat 1 is also provided with a fixing groove 14, and the mounting seat 1 is fixed on the track through the fixing groove 14. It should be noted that the connection mode of the mounting seat 1 and the fixing groove 14 can be detachable connection, and the connection mode of the mounting seat 1 and the fixing groove 14 is not limited in the embodiment of the application.
[0078] In another embodiment of the application, the stopper 2 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 1 through the support shaft 3, the support shaft 3 extends along the horizontal direction and perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier, the stopper 2 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the carrier, when the stopper 2 is located at the initial position, the second end 22 of the stopper 2 is higher than the first end 21 and the second end 22 is located on the moving path of the carrier, and the blocking assembly 100 further includes an elastic member (not shown in the figure), which is used to apply a reset force to the stopper 2 to rotate to the initial position.
[0079] The blocking assembly 100 applies a reset force to the stopper 2 through the elastic member, the reset force provided by the elastic member is not affected by the installation angle of the stopper 2 or the external gravity environment, the elastic member always applies a stable reset force to the stopper 2, which points to the initial position, no matter whether the blocking assembly 100 is placed horizontally, inclined or in a vibrating environment, the stopper 2 can return to the initial position through the reset force provided by the elastic member, thereby ensuring the reliability of the blocking and releasing functions of the carrier. The elastic force of the elastic member can be adjusted by selecting elastic members with different elastic coefficients. If it is required that the stopper 2 be quickly reset, an elastic member with a larger elastic coefficient can be selected. If it is desired that the reset process of the stopper 2 be slow and smooth, an elastic member with a smaller elastic coefficient can be selected. This adjustability enables the blocking assembly 100 to flexibly adjust the reset characteristics of the stopper 2 under different working requirements.
[0080] Exemplarily, the elastic member is a tension spring (not shown in the figure), the two ends of the tension spring are connected with the first end 21 of the stopper 2 and the mounting seat 1 respectively, one end of the tension spring is connected in the abutting hole 26 of the first end 21, as shown in Figure 4 , and the other end is connected to the first abutting groove 15 on the mounting seat 1.
[0081] In an embodiment, when the carrier moves along the preset path on the track and does not contact the stopper 2, the tension spring is in a natural state, the first end 21 is close to the mounting seat 1, and the second end 22 is located on the moving path of the carrier.
[0082] In an embodiment, when the carrier moves along the preset path on the track and contacts the stopper 2, the carrier pushes the second end 22 of the stopper 2, the first end 21 pulls the tension spring upward due to the force, and the tension spring is in a stretched state.
[0083] In an embodiment, when the carrier is separated from the stopper 2, the tension spring resets due to the absence of external force, and drives the first end 21 to be close to the mounting seat 1, so as to reset the second end 22.
[0084] Exemplarily, the elastic member is a compression spring, the two ends of the compression spring are connected with the second end 22 of the stopper 2 and the mounting seat 1 respectively.
[0085] In an embodiment, when the carrier moves along the preset path on the track and does not contact the stopper 2, the compression spring is in a natural state, the second end 22 is located on the moving path of the carrier, and the first end 21 is close to the mounting seat 1.
[0086] In an embodiment, when the carrier moves along the preset path on the track and contacts the stopper 2, the carrier pushes the second end 22 of the stopper 2, the second end 22 extrudes the compression spring downward due to the force, and the compression spring is in a compressed state.
[0087] In an embodiment, when the carrier is separated from the stopper 2, the compression spring resets due to no external force and pushes the second end 22 to reset.
[0088] It should be noted that the selection of the elastic member is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0089] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 The elastic member is detachably connected with the mounting seat 1 and the stopper 2.
[0090] Specifically, when the stopper 2 is located at the initial position, the stopper 2 and the mounting seat 1 are in contact through a plane pair.
[0091] The stopper 2 and the mounting seat 1 are in contact through a plane pair, which can ensure the stability of the stopper 2 on the mounting seat 1 when the carrier contacts the front blocking mechanism and bounces to contact the stopper 2, thereby ensuring the blocking effect on the carrier. The plane pair contact can uniformly distribute the stress between the stopper 2 and the mounting seat 1, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the reliability of the blocking assembly 100.
[0092] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application disclose an automatic device with a track, comprising:
[0093] A carrier transmission track;
[0094] A carrier, which is slidingly arranged on the carrier transmission track;
[0095] A first blocking assembly, which is the blocking assembly 100 of the first aspect, and is fixedly arranged on the carrier transmission track;
[0096] A second blocking assembly, which is fixedly arranged on the carrier transmission track, is located downstream of the first blocking assembly and has a spacing with the first blocking assembly, and the spacing is used to accommodate the carrier. When the carrier is located in the spacing, the second blocking assembly can prevent the carrier from continuing to move in the moving direction of the carrier, and the second blocking assembly is the front blocking mechanism of the first aspect.
[0097] The structure of the first blocking assembly can be the same as that of any one of the blocking assemblies 100 in the above embodiments and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects.
