Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, specifically to an electric remote-controlled monorail transport vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the modernization of agriculture, animal husbandry, and mining, the demand for material transportation in orchards, mountain plantations, livestock farms, mines, and mountain construction sites is increasing. These terrains are often characterized by significant elevation changes and rugged, narrow roads, making it difficult for conventional wheeled vehicles to navigate and resulting in extremely low transportation efficiency. For example, in some steep hillside orchards, manually transporting fruit consumes a large amount of manpower and resources and is inefficient. To avoid these transportation difficulties and low efficiency issues, a simple monorail transport vehicle has been designed.

[0003] Existing simple monorail transport vehicles generally use small fuel engines as their power source, with a chain connecting the fuel engine and the drive wheel for power transmission. The power of the fuel engine is usually between 1000-2000W. The fuel engine has relatively low power and limited power output. When traveling on steep slopes (such as those exceeding 30 degrees), the insufficient power of the small fuel engine can easily cause the entire transport equipment to jam or even slide backward on the track, limiting the transport range and load capacity. In addition, the chain transmission has low efficiency, is prone to energy loss, and has high maintenance frequency and cost, affecting the overall transport performance. Finally, some areas have regulations that prohibit the use of fuel-powered applications, and livestock farming cannot produce large amounts of noise and smoke pollution.

[0004] Furthermore, most existing transport vehicles are manually operated with levers, requiring operators to continuously follow the vehicle alongside the track. This not only results in high labor intensity but also low efficiency when transporting goods in complex terrain. In addition, operators working close to the vehicle alongside the track face risks such as vehicle derailment and rolling, leading to poor safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric remote-controlled monorail transport vehicle, which uses a brushless motor as a power source, has strong power output, can adapt to steep slopes, and improves transmission efficiency through a gearbox. At the same time, it uses a battery as a power source to increase the range of applications of the transport vehicle. The monorail transport vehicle can be flexibly operated by remote control to meet the needs of efficient, convenient and safe transportation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric remote-controlled monorail transport vehicle, comprising a frame and a fixed plate fixedly mounted at the bottom of the frame, a gearbox fixedly mounted on the fixed plate, a brushless motor fixedly mounted on the gearbox and cooperating therewith, a drive wheel mounted at the bottom of the gearbox and penetrating through the fixed plate, an adjustable auxiliary wheel rotatably mounted on the fixed plate and located on one side of the drive wheel, a connecting plate fixedly mounted on the top of the gearbox, a detachable protective cover mounted on the outer side of the top of the connecting plate, a control system mounted on the connecting plate and the protective cover, and a battery mounted on the frame and located inside the protective cover.

[0007] Preferably, the control system includes a resistor controller, a remote controller, a motor controller, and a brake resistor, a knife switch, a key fob, a display screen, and control buttons, all fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting plate. A power line connects the battery to the input terminal of the motor controller, with the knife switch, display screen, and key fob sequentially mounted on the power line. The output terminal of the motor controller is connected to the brushless motor and the power-off brake signal, respectively. The input terminal of the motor controller is connected to the output terminal of the remote controller, and the input terminal of the remote controller is connected to the control button and two limit switches, respectively. A resistor controller is connected in parallel to the input terminal of the motor controller, and the output terminal of the resistor controller is connected in parallel to multiple brake resistors.

[0008] Preferably, a power-off brake that works with the motor controller and is used to control parking is fixedly installed on the side wall of the gearbox away from the brushless motor.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly provided with a base plate parallel to the ground, and both ends of the base plate are fixedly provided with limit switches that cooperate with the remote controller to control the parking.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the electric remote-controlled monorail transport vehicle includes a frame 1, combined with... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a downwardly extending fixing plate 2 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the frame 1. A gearbox 3 is longitudinally fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixing plate 2. A brushless motor 4 that cooperates with the gearbox 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the gearbox 3 near the top. A drive wheel 6 is installed through the fixing plate 2 on the side wall of the gearbox 3 near the bottom. A power-off brake 5 that cooperates with the gearbox 3 and is used to control the stopping is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gearbox 3 on the side away from the brushless motor 4. A height-adjustable auxiliary wheel 7 is rotatably installed on the fixing plate 2 and on the side of the drive wheel 6. A base plate 8 that is parallel to the ground is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 2. Limit switches 9 for derailment when placed on the track are fixedly installed at both ends of the base plate 8.

[0022] Preferably, a high-power brushless motor 4 combined with a large-capacity battery 16 is used as the power system to provide strong power support and achieve stable cargo driving on slopes of 0-60 degrees. The power output of the high-power brushless motor 4 is transmitted to the drive wheel 6 through the gearbox 3, which improves transmission efficiency and reduces maintenance frequency and cost. At the same time, the battery 16 and the brushless motor 4 work together to reduce noise and smoke pollution, making it suitable for livestock farming areas where there can be no large noise and smoke pollution, thus increasing the scope of use of the transport vehicle.

[0023] Specifically in this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connecting plate 10 is horizontally fixedly installed on the top of the gearbox 3. A protective cover 14 for protecting the gearbox 3, brushless motor 4, and power-off brake 5 is detachably installed on the outer side of the top of the connecting plate 10. A control system is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 10 and the protective cover 14. A battery 16 is installed on the frame 1 and inside the protective cover 14. Preferably, the battery 16 is a lithium battery. Handrails 20 are fixedly installed at both ends of the frame 1.

[0024] Specifically in this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control system includes a resistor controller 11, a remote controller 12, a motor controller 13 fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting plate 10, and multiple brake resistors 15 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the protective cover 14, as well as a knife switch 17, a key fob 18, a display screen 19, and a control button 21 that are mounted through the side wall of the protective cover 14.

[0025] Furthermore, in combination Figure 5As shown, a power line connects the battery 16 to the input terminal of the main circuit of the motor controller 13. A knife switch 17, a display screen 19, and a key fob 18 are sequentially arranged on the power line between the battery 16 and the input terminal of the motor controller 13. The knife switch 17 controls the total power supply of the power line, and the display screen 19 provides feedback on the health status of the battery 16. The output terminal of the main circuit of the motor controller 13 provides power to the brushless motor 4 via the power line. The output terminal of the control circuit of the motor controller 13 is signal-connected to the input terminal of the brushless motor 4. The input terminal of the control circuit of the motor controller 13 is signal-connected to the output terminal of the remote controller 12. The input terminal of the control circuit of the remote controller 12 is signal-connected to the control button 21 and two limit switches 9, respectively. The control button 21 and the two limit switches 9 are connected in parallel with the remote controller 12 via signal lines. The input terminal of the remote controller 12 is connected to an amplifier via a signal line.

[0026] Furthermore, combining Figure 5 As shown, the output terminal of the motor controller 13 is connected to the power-off brake 5 signal, and the input terminal of the main circuit of the motor controller 13 is connected in parallel with a resistor controller 11. The input terminal of the resistor controller 11 is connected to multiple brake resistors 15 through signal lines.

[0027] Preferably, remote control technology is introduced, allowing the transport vehicle to be remotely controlled via an external remote control handle. Operators can flexibly control the transport vehicle from a safe location, avoiding the problem of existing operators having to continuously follow the vehicle along the track to operate it. This saves labor intensity while meeting the needs of efficient, convenient, and safe transportation.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] First, place the transport vehicle on the track, so that the power wheel 6 engages with the rack on the track, and adjust the horizontal position of the transport vehicle on the track by using the auxiliary wheel 7. Then, the transport vehicle can be controlled to move forward, backward, decelerate, and stop on the track by using the remote control handle.

[0030] When the transport vehicle is controlled to move forward, backward, and decelerate by the remote control handle, the signal emitted by the remote control handle is first wirelessly transmitted to the remote controller 12. The remote controller 12 receives the signal and transmits it to the motor controller 13 through the signal line. After receiving and processing the signal, the motor controller 13 transmits one of the corresponding signals to the brushless motor 4. The forward, backward, and deceleration actions of the transport vehicle can be completed by the brushless motor 4.

[0031] When the transport vehicle is stopped by controlling the remote control handle, the signal emitted by the remote control handle is first wirelessly transmitted to the remote controller 12. The remote controller 12 receives the signal and transmits it to the motor controller 13 through the signal line. The motor controller 13 receives and processes the signal and then transmits it to the power-off brake 5. The power-off brake 5 operates to stop the rail transport vehicle. At this time, the brushless motor 4 distributes the resistance through the resistor controller 11. Part of the resistance is distributed to the battery 16, and the other part is released through the brake resistor 15. When the rail transport vehicle moves to both ends of the track, the limit switch 9 operates and transmits the signal to the remote controller 12 through the signal line. The signal comes out from the remote controller 12 and is transmitted to the motor controller 13. After being processed by the motor controller 13, the signal is transmitted to the power-off brake 5, completing the stopping of the rail transport vehicle.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
