Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ingot mold transportation technology, and in particular to a track limiting mechanism and ingot mold transportation device for an ingot mold trolley. Background Technology

[0002] The ingot mold trolley is an important piece of equipment used to transport ingot molds. It usually needs to run along a track to the designated mold loading or unloading position. To ensure the stability and accuracy of the ingot mold trolley during transportation, it is necessary to limit the movement of the ingot mold trolley during mold loading or unloading.

[0003] However, currently, most limit and release operations on the ingot mold trolley are performed manually. The common method is to lock the ingot mold trolley using manually installed locking devices. However, this method requires manual operation for both limit and release, which is inefficient, and there are often significant safety risks if the manual operation is negligent. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a track limiting mechanism and a mold transportation device for a mold trolley, which aims to solve the technical problem that the current mold trolley transportation process requires manual locking and unlocking, which is inefficient and poses safety risks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a track limiting mechanism for a mold trolley. The mold trolley can travel along the track, one end of which has a first limiting groove with an upward-facing opening. The track limiting mechanism is located on the side of the mold trolley facing the track. The track limiting mechanism includes:

[0006] A first sliding plate is slidably disposed on the ingot mold trolley along the traveling direction of the ingot mold trolley;

[0007] The movable frame includes a connecting part and a first limiting part. The connecting part is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first sliding plate, and the first limiting part is slidably supported on the top of the track. The first limiting part can slide along the track as the ingot mold trolley moves, and enter or exit the first limiting groove from the first slot to limit or release the ingot mold trolley accordingly.

[0008] In one embodiment, the movable frame includes a connecting rod and a limiting rod connected to the connecting rod, the connecting rod having the connecting portion and the limiting rod having the first limiting portion;

[0009] The first limiting part is provided with a first roller, which can roll and cooperate with the top of the track and can enter the first limiting groove from the first slot.

[0010] In one embodiment, the track limiting mechanism further includes a second sliding plate, with a first sliding side and a second sliding side on both sides. The first sliding side is slidably connected to the ingot trolley along the walking direction, and the second sliding side is provided with a slide rail extending along the walking direction. The first sliding plate is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0011] In one embodiment, the two ends of the limiting rod are respectively formed into a first limiting part and a second limiting part, the second limiting part is provided with a second roller, and a limiting plate is provided on the second sliding plate and located below the slide rail;

[0012] The limiting plate has a second limiting groove, and the second limiting groove has a downward-facing second opening; when the first roller enters the first limiting groove from the first opening, the second roller exits the second limiting groove from the second opening; when the first roller exits the first limiting groove from the first opening, the second roller enters the second limiting groove from the second opening.

[0013] In one embodiment, one end of the connecting rod forms the connecting portion, and the other end of the connecting rod is vertically connected to the limiting rod and located between the two first limiting portions, so that the connecting rod and the limiting rod are connected to form a T-shaped movable frame.

[0014] In one embodiment, the limiting plate is located between the first sliding plate and the second sliding plate, and the first sliding plate and the limiting plate are spaced apart.

[0015] In one embodiment, the two ends of the ingot mold trolley along its traveling direction are the front and the rear, wherein the front is the end of the ingot mold trolley close to the first limiting groove, the groove wall of the first limiting groove is inclined from bottom to top towards the rear, and the groove wall of the second limiting groove is inclined from top to bottom towards the rear.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first sliding side is provided with a slider extending along the walking direction, and the ingot mold trolley is provided with a groove corresponding to the position of the slider for the slider to extend into and slide with the slider.

[0017] In one embodiment, a third roller is provided at the bottom of the first slide plate, and the third roller rolls in cooperation with the top of the track.

[0018] This utility model also proposes a mold transportation device, including a mold trolley, a track, and a track limiting mechanism for the mold trolley as described above. The mold trolley can travel along the track. One end of the track is provided with a first limiting groove, which has an upward-facing first opening. The track limiting mechanism is located on the side of the mold trolley facing the track.

[0019] This utility model's track limiting mechanism features a first limiting groove on the track. The ingot mold trolley is equipped with a first sliding plate and a movable frame. The movable frame includes a first limiting part that slides on the track as the trolley moves. When the ingot mold trolley moves forward to the mold loading or unloading position, the first limiting part enters the first limiting groove, automatically locking the ingot mold trolley. This precisely limits the ingot mold trolley, preventing it from sliding due to external forces during loading or unloading, improving operational safety. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional operations, reducing the operational steps and further improving the efficiency of mold loading and unloading. Simultaneously, after mold loading, when the ingot mold trolley retracts, the first limiting part exits from the first limiting groove, automatically releasing the limit, thus increasing the speed of limiting and releasing the ingot mold trolley. Furthermore, compared to the current method that requires manual operation to limit and lock the ingot mold trolley, this track limiting mechanism does not require manual operation. After the ingot mold trolley moves into place, the first limiting part enters the first limiting groove to achieve automatic and rapid limiting and locking. When the ingot mold trolley retracts, the first limiting part exits the first limiting groove to quickly release the limit, which is more efficient and has lower safety risks.

[0032] This utility model proposes a track limiting mechanism 100 for a mold trolley 200.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the ingot mold trolley 200 has a track limiting mechanism 100. The ingot mold trolley 200 can travel along a track 300. One end of the track 300 is provided with a first limiting groove 301, which has an upward-facing first opening. The track limiting mechanism 100 is located on the side of the ingot mold trolley 200 facing the track 300. The track limiting mechanism 100 includes a first sliding plate 1 and a movable frame 2. The first sliding plate 1 travels along the ingot mold trolley 200. The traveling direction is slidably set on the ingot mold trolley 200; the movable frame 2 includes a connecting part 211 and a first limiting part 221. The connecting part 211 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first sliding plate 1, and the first limiting part 221 is slidably supported on the top of the track 300; the first limiting part 221 can slide along the track 300 as the ingot mold trolley 200 travels, and enter or exit the first limiting groove 301 from the first slot, so as to limit or release the ingot mold trolley 200 accordingly.

[0034] The track limiting mechanism 100 of this utility model features a first limiting groove 301 on a track 300. A first sliding plate 1 and a movable frame 2 are mounted on the mold trolley 200. The movable frame 2 includes a first limiting part 221, which slides on the track 300 as the trolley moves. When the mold trolley 200 moves to the mold loading or unloading position, the first limiting part 221 enters the first limiting groove 301, achieving automatic limiting and locking. The mold trolley 200 is precisely limited, preventing it from sliding due to external forces during mold loading or unloading, thus improving operational safety. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional operations, reducing the operational process and further improving the efficiency of mold loading and unloading. Simultaneously, after mold loading, when the mold trolley 200 retracts, the first limiting part 221 can exit from the first limiting groove 301, automatically releasing the limit, thus increasing the speed of limiting and releasing the mold trolley 200. Furthermore, compared to the current method that requires manual operation to limit and lock the ingot mold trolley 200, the track limiting mechanism 100 does not require manual operation. After the ingot mold trolley 200 moves into place, the first limiting part 221 enters the first limiting groove 301 to achieve automatic limiting and locking, which is more efficient and has lower safety risks.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the traveling direction of the ingot mold trolley 200 is... Figure 1 The front and back directions are shown.

[0036] Furthermore, the first slot is flush with the top of the track 300, so that the first limiting part 221 can smoothly enter the first limiting slot 301.

[0037] It should be noted that the first limiting groove 301 is located near the end of the track 300 and is used to limit and lock the ingot mold trolley 200 at both ends or one end of the track 300 so as to carry out mold loading or unloading work; specifically, a limiting member is provided at the end of the track 300, the top of the limiting member is flush with the top of the track 300, and the first limiting groove 301 is provided on the limiting member.

[0038] In addition, since the first sliding plate 1 is slidable, it has a certain buffering effect when limiting the ingot mold carriage 200, preventing the ingot mold from falling out due to the sudden stop of the ingot mold carriage 200.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the movable frame 2 includes a connecting rod 21 and a limiting rod 22 connected to the connecting rod 21. The connecting rod 21 has a connecting portion 211, and the limiting rod 22 has a first limiting portion 221. The first limiting portion 221 is provided with a first roller 222, which can roll and cooperate with the top of the track 300 and can enter the first limiting groove 301 from the first slot.

[0040] Understandably, by providing the first roller 222 on the first limiting part 221, the first limiting part 221 can roll in contact with the top of the track 300. Compared to direct sliding contact, the rolling friction is much less than the sliding friction. This reduces the resistance of the first connecting part 211 moving on the track 300 and allows it to smoothly enter or exit the first limiting groove 301 from the first slot. This design ensures that the ingot mold trolley 200 is more stable and smooth during movement, reducing the impact of vibration or bumps on the transportation of the ingot mold trolley 200 and improving reliability. In addition, the movement of the first roller 222 on the track 300 can also distribute the pressure caused by the weight of the ingot mold trolley 200.

[0041] Specifically, in one embodiment, the connecting rod 21 and the limiting rod 22 are integrally formed, resulting in better structural stability.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the track limiting mechanism 100 further includes a second sliding plate 3, with a first sliding side and a second sliding side on both sides. The first sliding side is slidably connected to the ingot mold trolley 200 along the walking direction, and the second sliding side is provided with a slide rail 31 extending along the walking direction. The first sliding plate 1 is slidably connected to the slide rail 31.

[0043] Understandably, by setting a second sliding plate 3, and connecting the first sliding side of the second sliding plate 3 to the ingot mold carriage 200, while the second sliding side is provided with a slide rail 31 for the first sliding plate 1 to slide, this double connection method can effectively disperse the force, effectively buffer the ingot mold carriage 200, and prevent the ingot mold from shaking out under the action of inertia.

[0044] In one embodiment, the two ends of the limiting rod 22 are respectively formed as a first limiting part 221 and a second limiting part 223. The second limiting part 223 is provided with a second roller 224. A limiting plate 32 is provided on the second slide plate 3 and located below the slide rail 31. The limiting plate 32 has a second limiting groove 321, and the second limiting groove 321 has a downwardly facing second opening. When the first roller 222 enters the first limiting groove 301 from the first opening, the second roller 224 exits the second limiting groove 321 from the second opening. When the first roller 222 exits the first limiting groove 301 from the first opening, the second roller 224 enters the second limiting groove 321 from the second opening.

[0045] Understandably, by setting a limiting plate 32 on the second sliding plate 3, when the first roller 222 enters the first limiting groove 301 from the first slot, the second roller 224 exits the second limiting groove 321 from the second slot, and the second roller 224 abuts against the bottom of the limiting plate 32, thereby achieving vertical limiting of the entire limiting rod 22, resulting in better and more stable limiting effect; when the first roller 222 exits the first limiting groove 301 from the first slot, the second roller 224 enters the second limiting groove 321 from the second slot, thereby limiting the second roller 224, further fixing the position of the first roller 222 on the limiting rod 22, thus better dispersing the pressure brought by the weight of the ingot mold carriage 200; therefore, by setting the limiting plate 32 in this embodiment, the pressure brought by the weight of the ingot mold carriage 200 can also be effectively distributed by the movable frame 2, resulting in better reliability.

[0046] Furthermore, the first limiting part 221 and the second limiting part 223 have the same structure, and the first limiting groove 301 and the second limiting groove 321 have the same structure.

[0047] It should be noted that when the ingot mold trolley 200 needs to be released from its limit after the mold loading or unloading is completed, the ingot mold trolley 200 moves in the opposite direction, that is, in the rear direction shown in the figure. The second slide plate 3 also moves rearward accordingly, and the first slide plate 1 also moves rearward. At the same time, the first roller 222 retracts from the first limit groove 301 onto the track 300, thereby releasing the limit. Furthermore, the first slide plate 1 continues to move rearward, causing the second roller 224 to enter the second limit groove 321, thus distributing the pressure on the ingot mold trolley 200.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting plate 32 is fixed to the ingot mold trolley 200 by multiple bolts.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 3In one embodiment, one end of the connecting rod 21 forms a connecting portion 211, and the other end of the connecting rod 21 is vertically connected to the limiting rod 22 and located between the two first limiting portions 221, so that the connecting rod 21 and the limiting rod 22 are connected to form a T-shaped movable frame 2.

[0050] Understandably, one end of the connecting rod 21 is vertically connected to the limiting rod 22 and located between the two first limiting parts 221, so that only the first limiting part 221 is inserted into the first limiting groove 301, and the connecting rod 21 does not abut against the top of the track 300, thus avoiding increased friction, and the T-shaped movable frame 2 structure is more stable.

[0051] It should be noted that the movable frame 2 can be made of T-shaped steel, which is a technology already in use.

[0052] In one embodiment, the limiting plate 32 is located between the first sliding plate 1 and the second sliding plate 3, and the first sliding plate 1 and the limiting plate 32 are spaced apart.

[0053] Understandably, the first slide plate 1 and the limiting plate 32 are spaced apart, so that there is no friction between the first slide plate 1 and the second slide plate 3, which facilitates the rapid sliding of the first slide plate 1 and makes the operation faster and more convenient.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, there is a 2cm gap between the first sliding plate 1 and the limiting plate 32.

[0055] In one embodiment, the two ends of the mold trolley 200 along its traveling direction are the front end 201 and the rear end 202, wherein the front end 201 is the end of the mold trolley 200 that is close to the first limiting groove 301, the groove wall of the first limiting groove 301 is inclined from bottom to top toward the rear end 202, and the groove wall of the second limiting groove 321 is inclined from top to bottom toward the rear end 202.

[0056] Understandably, by tilting the walls of the first limiting groove 301 and the second limiting groove 321, better guidance can be provided for the rollers. When the first roller 222 or the second roller 224 approaches or leaves the corresponding limiting groove, the tilted groove walls help guide the first roller 222 or the second roller 224 to smoothly enter or exit the first limiting groove 301 or the second limiting groove 321, reducing force loss and ensuring that the limiting can be quickly achieved and quickly released.

[0057] Furthermore, a first boss is provided on the side of the first limiting groove 301 away from the rear 202. The first boss protrudes upward from the track 300, thereby better restricting the ingot mold trolley 200 from continuing to move forward. A second boss is also provided on the side of the second limiting groove 321 away from the rear 202. The second boss protrudes downward from the bottom of the limiting plate 32. The second boss and the second limiting groove 321 cooperate to better limit the movable frame 2.

[0058] In one embodiment, a slider extending along the walking direction is provided on the first sliding side, and a groove 203 is provided on the mold carriage 200 at the position corresponding to the slider for the slider to extend into and slide with the slider. It can be understood that through the precise cooperation between the slider and the groove 203, the first slide plate 1 can be ensured to slide smoothly and accurately along the walking direction. This design helps to reduce offset and shaking during the sliding process, and has higher reliability.

[0059] In one embodiment, a third roller 11 is provided at the bottom of the first slide plate 1, and the third roller 11 rolls in cooperation with the top of the track 300.

[0060] Understandably, by setting a third roller 11 at the bottom of the first slide plate 1 that rolls in cooperation with the top of the track 300, the ingot mold trolley 200 can be further supported, effectively dispersing the pressure caused by the weight of the ingot mold trolley 200, avoiding the height difference problem between the wheels of the ingot mold trolley 200 and the track 300, and enabling the ingot mold trolley 200 to move more smoothly along the track 300.

[0061] This utility model also proposes an ingot mold transport device, including an ingot mold trolley 200, a track 300, and a track limiting mechanism 100 for the ingot mold trolley 200 as described above. The ingot mold trolley 200 can travel along the track 300. One end of the track 300 is provided with a first limiting groove 301, which has an upward-facing first opening. The track limiting mechanism 100 is disposed on the side of the ingot mold trolley 200 facing the track 300. The specific structure of the track limiting mechanism 100 for the ingot mold trolley 200 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the ingot mold transport device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0062] When the mold carriage 200 moves to the mold loading or unloading position, the first limiting part 221 enters the first limiting groove 301 to achieve automatic limiting and locking. The mold carriage 200 is precisely limited, preventing it from sliding due to external forces during mold loading or unloading, thus improving operational safety. Furthermore, no additional operation is required, reducing the operational process and further improving the efficiency of mold loading and unloading. Simultaneously, after mold loading, when the mold carriage 200 retracts, the first limiting part 221 can exit from the first limiting groove 301, automatically releasing the limit.

[0063] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
