Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling technology, and more particularly to rail transport systems. Background Technology

[0002] Bottles can be placed on tracks for transport. In some scenarios, it's necessary to consolidate bottles that were originally transported in parallel across multiple tracks into a single track. However, bottles often cluster at the intersection of two adjacent tracks, allowing them to smoothly enter the appropriate track. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a track transport system to solve the problem of bottles accumulating at the intersection of tracks, preventing the bottles from smoothly entering the corresponding tracks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the track transport system provided in this application includes a first track and a second track, which are arranged side by side. The transport direction of the first track is the same as that of the second track, and the first track and the second track are interconnected. The track transport system further includes a guide bottle-shaping device, which includes:

[0005] A support frame is disposed above the first track. The support frame has a first guide surface, which is set at an angle to the conveying direction of the first track. The first guide surface is arranged at an angle from the end away from the second track to the end close to the second track along the conveying direction of the first track.

[0006] A bottle-rubbing plate, which is slidably disposed on the first guide surface;

[0007] The motor, which is mounted on the support frame; and

[0008] A linkage mechanism is provided between the motor and the bottle-rubbing plate, which converts the rotational motion of the motor's output shaft into the reciprocating linear motion of the bottle-rubbing plate on the first guide surface.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0010] The guide bottle-rubbing device is used to guide the bottles in the first track to the second track. The motor drives the bottle-rubbing plate to move back and forth linearly on the first guide surface through the linkage mechanism, so that the bottles located at the junction of the first track and the second track are pushed back and forth by the bottle-rubbing plate, which avoids the bottles from gathering at the junction of the first track and the second track, and allows the bottles to enter the second track smoothly.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0022] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the track transport system includes a first track 10 and a second track 20. The first track 10 and the second track 20 are arranged side by side. The transport direction of the first track 10 is the same as that of the second track 20. In this embodiment, the transport direction of both the first track 10 and the second track 20 is from left to right. The first track 10 and the second track 20 are interconnected, that is, there is no separation between the first track 10 and the second track 20.

[0024] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first baffle 11 is provided on the side of the first track 10 away from the second track 20. A second baffle 21 is provided on the side of the second track 20 away from the first track 10. The bottle moves in the first track 10 and the second track 20 and is limited by the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 21, preventing it from falling off the sides of the first track 10 and the second track 20.

[0025] In this embodiment of the application, it is necessary to transfer the bottle (not shown) in the first track 10 to the second track 20.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the track transport system also includes a guide bottle-shaping device 30, which is used to transport bottles in the first track 10 to the second track 20 and to prevent bottles from accumulating at the junction of the first track 10 and the second track 20.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide bottle-rubbing device 30 includes a support frame 31, a bottle-rubbing plate 32, a motor 33, and a linkage mechanism 34.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the support frame 31 is disposed above the first track 10. The support frame 31 has a first guide surface 311, which is set at an angle to the conveying direction of the first track 10. The first guide surface 311 is inclined along the conveying direction of the first track 10 from the end away from the second track 20 to the end closer to the second track 20. Thus, when the bottle in the first track 10 moves to the position of the support frame 31, it is restricted by the first guide surface 311 and gradually moves towards the second track 20.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottle-rubbing plate 32 is slidably disposed on the first guide surface 311 and faces the first track 10. Thus, the bottle-rubbing plate 32 can contact the bottles in the first track 10. When the bottle-rubbing plate 32 moves, it can drive the bottles in the first track 10 to move, so as to avoid the bottles from gathering at the junction of the first track 10 and the second track 20.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the motor 33 is mounted on the support frame 31, for example, the motor 33 is mounted on the first guide surface 311 of the support frame 31 at a position away from the second track 20.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the linkage mechanism 34 is connected between the motor 33 and the bottle-rubbing plate 32. The linkage mechanism 34 converts the rotational motion of the output shaft of the motor 33 into the reciprocating linear motion of the bottle-rubbing plate 32 on the first guide surface 311.

[0032] When the guide bottle-rubbing mechanism is in use, the output shaft of the motor 33 rotates, and the linkage mechanism 34 converts the rotational motion of the output shaft of the motor 33 into the reciprocating linear motion of the bottle-rubbing plate 32 on the first guide surface 311, so that the bottles located at the junction of the first track 10 and the second track 20 can be moved by the bottle-rubbing plate 32, avoiding the bottles from gathering at the junction, and allowing the bottles to smoothly enter the second track 20.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 31 also includes a second guide surface 312, which is parallel to the conveying direction of the second track 20 and is located on the side of the second track 20 closer to the first track 10. Thus, the second guide surface 312 and the second baffle 21 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the bottle entering the second track 20 is limited by the second guide surface 312 and the second baffle 21.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the bottle-rubbing plate 32 is provided with multiple rolling elements 321, which are arranged in a direction parallel to the first guide surface 311. Therefore, the bottles in the first track 10 can come into contact with the rolling elements 321, preventing damage to the bottle surface.

[0035] Furthermore, the rolling element 321 can be a cylindrical rolling element 321, with its axis perpendicular to the plane of the first track 10, and the rolling element 321 rotating around the axis.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the track transport system also includes a protective cover 40, which covers the motor 33 and the linkage mechanism 34. This prevents the external environment from affecting the motor 33 and the linkage mechanism 34. Furthermore, the protective cover 40 also prevents the bottles in the first track 10 from coming into contact with the motor 33 and the linkage mechanism 34.

[0037] Furthermore, the protective cover 40 includes a third guide surface 41, which is parallel to the first guide surface 311 and is further away from the first guide surface 311 than the bottle-rubbing plate 32. That is, the bottle-rubbing plate 32 is located between the first guide surface 311 and the third guide surface 41. The bottles in the first track 10 move toward the bottle-rubbing plate 32 under the guidance of the third guide surface 41.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the linkage mechanism 34 includes a crank 341, a connecting rod 342, and a guide block 343. One end of the crank 341 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 33, and the other end of the crank 341 is connected to the connecting rod 342. One end of the connecting rod 342 is rotatably connected to the crank 341, and the other end of the connecting rod 342 is connected to the bottle-rubbing plate 32. The guide block 343 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 31 and has a through hole parallel to the first guide surface 311, through which the connecting rod 342 passes. Thus, when the output shaft of the motor 33 rotates, the crank 341 rotates synchronously and drives one end of the connecting rod 342 to reciprocate linearly, causing the connecting rod 342 to reciprocate linearly on the guide block 343, thereby driving the bottle-rubbing plate 32 to reciprocate linearly.

[0039] According to the track transport system of this application, the guide bottle-rubbing device 30 is used to guide the bottles in the first track 10 to the second track 20, and the motor 33 drives the bottle-rubbing plate 32 to reciprocate linearly on the first guide surface 311 through the linkage mechanism 34, so that the bottles located at the junction of the first track 10 and the second track 20 are pushed back and forth by the bottle-rubbing plate 32, avoiding the bottles from gathering at the junction of the first track 10 and the second track 20, so that the bottles can smoothly enter the second track 20.

[0040] Although this application has been described in detail above with general descriptions, specific embodiments, and experiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this application fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
