Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of overhead rail steering equipment technology, and in particular to an all-rail powered overhead rail steering device. Background Technology

[0002] Ceiling rail steering devices are widely used in ceiling rail relocation systems. These systems consist of intersecting tracks, and the ceiling rail steering device is located at the intersection. One track on the steering device can be rotated to connect to other tracks in different directions. When the main unit is on the steering device's track, its built-in motor can rotate the device's track, thus transferring the main unit from its current direction to the intersecting track in another direction. However, existing ceiling rail steering devices are directly driven by motors, making manual steering adjustment of the main unit impossible and inconvenient to operate. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0021] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a fully powered overhead rail steering device, comprising: a main body 1; a steering mechanism 2; the steering mechanism 2 being disposed within the main body 1; a reversing guide rail 3; the reversing guide rail 3 being disposed at the lower end of the steering mechanism 2; a drive mechanism 4; the drive mechanism 4 being drively connected to the steering mechanism 2; and an adjustment mechanism 5; one end of the adjustment mechanism 5 being disposed within the main body 1, and the other end of the adjustment mechanism 5 being connected to the drive mechanism 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, the device is set at the intersection of the tracks 9, the steering mechanism 2 is set at the center of the main body 1, and the reversing guide rail 3 is set on the movable end of the steering mechanism 2 (the reversing guide rail 3 has the same structure as the track 9, which is equivalent to a small section of the rotatable track 9); the adjustment mechanism 5 is movably set inside the main body 1, and the drive mechanism 4 is set on the movable end of the adjustment mechanism 5. The adjustment mechanism 5 can drive the drive mechanism 4 to move closer to or away from the steering mechanism 2.

[0025] When the drive mechanism 4 comes into contact with the steering mechanism 2, the drive mechanism 4 can drive the steering mechanism 2 to rotate, thereby causing the reversing guide rail 3 to rotate within a certain angle range; when the drive mechanism 4 separates from the steering mechanism 2, the drive mechanism 4 no longer drives the steering mechanism 2, and the reversing guide rail 3 stops moving, thereby achieving the rotation control effect of the reversing guide rail 3 through the adjustment mechanism 5.

[0026] Further, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes: a mounting bracket 51, a release spring 52, and an adjusting screw 53; the mounting bracket 51 is movably disposed within the main body 1; one end of the release spring 52 is disposed within the main body 1, and the other end of the release spring 52 is connected to the mounting bracket 51; one end of the adjusting screw 53 is movably disposed within the main body 1, and the other end of the adjusting screw 53 is connected to the mounting bracket 51; the drive mechanism 4 is disposed on the mounting bracket 51. The adjusting screw 53 is located on the side opposite to the release spring 52.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 51 is movably disposed within the main body 1, the separating spring 52 is disposed within the main body 1 and connected to the mounting bracket 51, and the adjusting screw 53 is movably disposed within the main body 1 and connected to the mounting bracket 51. The separating spring 52 and the adjusting screw 53 are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting bracket 51 (see...). Figure 2 The position of the mounting bracket 51 can be adjusted by manually controlling the tightness of the adjusting screw 53 on the main body 1. The drive mechanism 4 is set on the mounting bracket 51. The specific working principle of the device is as follows:

[0028] ① When it is necessary to drive the steering mechanism 2, tighten the adjusting screw 53 so that the mounting bracket 51 drives the driving mechanism 4 to approach the steering mechanism 2. The driving mechanism 4 and the steering mechanism 2 then come into contact with each other, and the driving mechanism 4 can achieve the driving effect on the steering mechanism 2 when it is working.

[0029] ② When the steering mechanism 2 is not needed, loosen the adjusting screw 53. Under the action of the separation spring 52, the mounting bracket 51 drives the driving mechanism 4 away from the steering mechanism 2. The driving mechanism 4 and the steering mechanism 2 are separated from each other, and the steering mechanism 2 no longer works.

[0030] By manually controlling the tightness of the adjusting screw 53 on the main body 1 using the above method, the indirect driving effect on the steering mechanism 2 can be achieved.

[0031] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 4 includes: a drive motor; a first gear is provided on the output end of the drive motor; the drive motor is mounted on the mounting bracket 51; the first gear is connected to the steering mechanism 2 in a transmission manner.

[0032] In this embodiment, the drive motor is mounted on the mounting bracket 51, which can drive the drive motor to move closer to or away from the steering mechanism 2. The first gear is set on the output end of the drive motor. When the drive motor moves closer to the steering mechanism 2, the first gear is connected to the steering mechanism 2 in a transmission manner. When the drive motor is working, it can drive the steering mechanism 2. When the drive motor moves away from the steering mechanism 2, the first gear is separated from the steering mechanism 2, and the steering mechanism 2 stops working.

[0033] Furthermore, the steering mechanism 2 includes: a turntable 21 and a second gear 22; a gear ring 23 is rotatably disposed on the outer side of the turntable 21; the turntable 21 is installed inside the main body 1; the reversing guide rail 3 is disposed on the gear ring 23; one end of the second gear 22 is meshed with the gear ring 23, and the other end of the second gear 22 is meshed with the first gear.

[0034] In this embodiment, the turntable 21 is fixedly installed at the center of the main body 1, the gear ring 23 is rotatably disposed on the outside of the turntable 21, the reversing guide rail 3 is installed on the gear ring 23, and the second gear 22 is rotatably disposed inside the main body 1 and meshes with the gear ring 23. When the adjusting mechanism 5 drives the driving mechanism 4 to approach, the first gear meshes with the second gear 22, and under the transmission action, the gear ring 23 can be driven. When the gear ring 23 rotates, it can drive the reversing guide rail 3 to rotate together, thereby achieving the steering adjustment effect of the track.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a control board 6; the control board 6 is connected to the drive mechanism 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the control board 6 is the main control circuit board of the overhead rail steering device (the main control circuit board can be an MCU, PLC, microprocessor or 51 / 52 series microcontroller, etc.). The control board 6 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 4 and can control the working state of the drive mechanism 4.

[0037] Furthermore, at least one limit switch 7 is provided in the main body 1 to limit the rotation angle of the switching guide rail 3; the limit switch 7 is connected to the control board 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limit switch 7 is disposed inside the main body 1 and electrically connected to the control board 6. The limit switch 7 can be customized in any position. When the limit switch 7 detects the switching guide rail 3, it can send a response command to the control board 6. The control board 6 can control the drive mechanism 4 to stop working, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the switching guide rail 3.

[0039] Furthermore, at least one command receiver 8 is provided within the main body 1; the command receiver 8 is connected to the control board 6.

[0040] In this embodiment, a command receiver 8 is also provided inside the main body 1. The command receiver 8 is connected to the control board 6. The command receiver 8 can receive steering commands issued from the outside, thereby achieving the effect of external control over the drive mechanism 4.

[0041] Furthermore, at least one power supply copper sheet is provided inside the switching guide rail 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, a number of power supply copper plates are provided inside the switching guide rail 3, and corresponding power supply copper plates are also provided on each externally connected rail 9. The power supply copper plates are interconnected to achieve the wireless power supply effect of the device (wireless power supply of copper plates is existing technology).
