[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The present invention provides a closed ground rail for the operation of mechanical equipment, including a ground rail assembly 1, a protective shell 2 and a drive base 3. The protective shell 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the ground rail assembly 1, and the drive base 3 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the protective shell 2.
[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the ground rail assembly 1 includes a track frame 11, iron powder 111, and a magnetic strip 112. Multiple fixed seats 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the track frame 11. Side plates 13 are fixedly installed at both ends of the track frame 11. Limiting slide rails 14 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the track frame 11. A fixed rack 15 is fixedly installed on one side inside the track frame 11. Side strips 16 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the side plates 13. A sliding groove 17 is formed between the track frame 11 and the side strips 16. A fixed frame 19 is fixedly installed on the side of the two side strips 16 facing each other. A movable belt 110 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 19. A silicone sleeve is fixedly installed on the bottom of the movable belt 110. Iron powder 111 is filled inside the silicone sleeve. The silicone sleeve is movably fitted inside the fixed frame 19. The fixed frame 19 and the magnetic strip 112 are respectively on both sides of the sliding groove 17. The magnetic strip 112 is located below the silicone sleeve and is magnetically connected to the iron powder 111.
[0026] By setting a silicone sleeve, and filling the inside of the silicone sleeve with iron powder 111, the lower ends of the silicone sleeve and the iron powder 111 are relatively soft. When the fixing plate 35 and the roller 36 slide inside the sliding groove 17, when the fixing plate 35 and the roller 36 pass between the iron powder 111 and the magnetic strip 112, the iron powder 111 will separate from the magnetic strip 112, which facilitates the sliding of the base 3. When the fixing plate 35 moves, the iron powder 111 is affected by gravity and falls from the inside of the fixing frame 19, and magnetically connects with the magnetic strip 112, sealing the sliding groove 17 and preventing dust from entering the interior of the track frame 11 through the sliding groove 17, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the track frame 11.
[0027] Both the side strip 16 and the track frame 11 have limit grooves 18 on their outer sides, and the limit grooves 18 are located on both sides of the sliding groove 17.
[0028] The protective shell 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the track frame 11. The shell 21 forms a groove between the shell and the track frame 11, so that the limiting ribs 34 at both ends of the drive seat 31 slide inside the limiting groove 18, and the drive seat 31 blocks the side of the sliding groove 17, thereby improving the sealing of the track frame 11 and improving the sealing effect of the device.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive base 3 includes a drive seat 31 sleeved on the outer surface of the housing 21. A mounting seat 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive seat 31. A fixing plate 35 is fixedly installed inside the lower end of the drive seat 31. Multiple rollers 36 are rotatably installed inside both sides of the fixing plate 35. A drive motor 37 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 35. A reducer 38 is fixedly installed on one side of the drive motor 37. A drive gear 39 is provided on the side of the reducer 38. Sliding blocks 310 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the fixing plate 35.
[0030] The fixed plate 35 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 17, the roller 36 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 17, the sliding block 310 is slidably installed on the top of the limiting slide rail 14, the outer surface of the drive gear 39 meshes with the top of the fixed rack 15, and the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the drive seat 31 are fixedly connected to the limiting ribs 34, which are slidably installed inside the limiting groove 18.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the protective shell 2 includes multiple shell covers 21 and multiple connecting frames 23, and the bottom sides of the multiple shell covers 21 are provided with interlocking grooves 22.
[0032] The protective shell 2 shields the top of the track frame 11 to prevent sand and debris from falling into the interior of the track frame 11 and affecting the operation of the drive base 3 inside the ground rail assembly 1.
[0033] Multiple limiting rods 24 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the connecting frame 23. The limiting rods 24 on both sides are respectively embedded in the sides of two adjacent shells 21. Connecting blocks 25 are fixedly installed on both ends of the bottom of the connecting frame 23. Inner tubes 26 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the connecting block 25. Locking bolts 27 are installed in the internal threads of the inner tubes 26. The inner tubes 26 at both ends of the connecting block 25 are respectively embedded in the interior of two adjacent fitting grooves 22. The connecting block 25 is fixedly installed in the fitting grooves 22 at the bottom of the two adjacent shells 21 by locking bolts 27.
[0034] The limiting rods 24 on both sides of the connecting frame 23 are respectively inserted into the sides of the two housings 21, and the connecting blocks 25 at both ends of the connecting frame 23 are embedded in the interior of the two adjacent embedding slots 22. The inner tube 26 is embedded in the embedding slots 22 at the bottom of the housings 21 at both ends, and the two housings 21 are fixed with locking bolts 27 to realize the assembly of multiple housings 21. The two ends of the housings 21 are fixed to the sides of the side plates 13 on both sides with bolts to realize the assembly of the ground rail assembly 1 and the protective housing 2. The protective housing 2 can be assembled, which facilitates the maintenance and repair of the ground rail assembly 1 and the drive base 3.
[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] When in use, the drive motor 37 starts, controls the reducer 38 to make the drive gear 39 rotate, and uses the meshing of the drive gear 39 with the fixed rack 15 to make the sliding block 310 slide on the top of the limit slide rail 14, thereby making the drive seat 31 slide on the outer surface of the housing 21. At this time, the roller 36 rolls inside the sliding groove 17.
[0037] When the fixed plate 35 and roller 36 slide inside the sliding groove 17, the fixed plate 35 and roller 36 pass between the iron powder 111 and the magnetic strip 112. The iron powder 111 separates from the magnetic strip 112. The silicone sleeve is pushed into the fixed frame 19 by the action of the fixed plate 35, which facilitates the sliding of the drive base 3. When the fixed plate 35 moves, the iron powder 111 is affected by gravity and falls from the inside of the fixed frame 19 and magnetically connects with the magnetic strip 112, sealing the sliding groove 17 and preventing dust from entering the interior of the track frame 11 through the sliding groove 17, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the track frame 11. In addition, the limiting ribs 34 at both ends of the drive seat 31 slide inside the limiting groove 18 and shield the sides of the sliding groove 17 through the drive seat 31, improving the sealing effect of the track frame 11 and making the ground rail adaptable to harsh working environments.
[0038] The limiting rods 24 on both sides of the connecting frame 23 are respectively sleeved between the two housings 21, and the connecting blocks 25 at both ends of the connecting frame 23 are embedded in the two adjacent embedding slots 22. The inner tube 26 is embedded in the embedding slots 22 at the bottom of the housings 21 at both ends, and the two housings 21 are fixed with locking bolts 27 to realize the assembly of multiple housings 21. Finally, the two ends of the assembled protective shell 2 are fixed to the side of the side plate 13 with bolts. When inspection and maintenance are required, the protective shell 2 can be disassembled by rotating the locking bolts 27 so that the track frame 11 and the drive base 3 can be inspected.
