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.

[0032] Execution 1

[0033] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0034] The track-type steerable conveyor includes a hopper 1 that conveys materials along a guide rail 3. The guide rail 3 forms a ring connecting the feed loading and unloading points. After the feed is transported, it returns to the initial loading point along the return guide rail 3, allowing the hopper 1 to perform cyclical transport along the guide rail 3. A guide mechanism 2 is provided on the outer side of the hopper 1. Universal wheels 11 are installed at the two left corners of the bottom of the hopper 1, and electric drive wheels 12 are installed at the two right corners of the bottom of the hopper 1. Under the action of the electric drive wheels 12, the hopper 1 can transport soybean meal feed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the guiding mechanism 2 includes two pairs of track wheels 21 distributed on the left and right sides of the conveying hopper 1, a guide rod 22 that is restricted on the conveying hopper 1 and rotatably connected to the track wheels 21, two connecting rods 23 that are horizontally placed on the left and right sides of the conveying hopper 1, and a pressure rod 24 that is hinged to the conveying hopper 1.

[0036] Specifically, the outer end of the track wheel 21 is provided with an end wheel 211, and a groove 212 is formed on the outer surface between the track wheel 21 and the end wheel 211. The track wheel 21 cooperates with the guide rail 3 through the groove 212. The outer diameter of the end wheel 211 is smaller than the outer diameter of the track wheel 21. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 212 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the top of the guide rail 3. The top of the guide rail 3 passes through the groove 212. This structural design ensures that the track wheel 21 and the guide rail 3 are precisely matched. With the obstruction of the end wheel 211, the track wheel 21 can be prevented from derailing from the guide rail 3.

[0037] Further, the outer side of the guide rod 22 is sleeved with a guide sleeve 221, which is fixed vertically on the feeding hopper 1 and is in sliding connection with the guide rod 22. Under the limitation of the guide sleeve 221, the guide rod 22 can move vertically in the guide sleeve 221.

[0038] In addition, the top ends of the two guide rods 22 on the same side surface of the feeding hopper 1 are fixed on the left and right ends of the connecting rod 23, so that the two guide rods 22 on the same side surface of the feeding hopper 1 can be connected as a whole under the action of the connecting rod 23 to move together. The top positions of the first and last ends of the connecting rod 23 are fixed with sleeve rods 231, the outer side of the sleeve rod 231 is sleeved with springs 232, and the top outer side of the sleeve rod 231 is further provided with a fixed sleeve 233, which is fixed on the side surface of the feeding hopper 1. The bottom end of the fixed sleeve 233 is provided with a sleeve cavity 234, the top end of the spring 232 extends into the sleeve cavity 234, the top end of the sleeve rod 231 penetrates through the fixed sleeve 233 and is in sliding connection with the fixed sleeve 233. Under the limitation of the fixed sleeve 233, the connecting rod 23 can only drive the guide rod 22 to move vertically along the fixed sleeve 233. Under the elastic force of the spring 232, the connecting rod 23 always drives the guide rod 22 to press the track wheel 21 on the top of the guide rail 3, thereby preventing the track wheel 21 from derailing when the feeding hopper 1 moves along the guide rail 3.

[0039] It is worth noting that the first and last ends of the pressing rod 24 are fixed with rotating plates 241, which are in rotating connection with the feeding hopper 1. The outer side surface of the rotating plate 241 is fixed with a push rod 242, which abuts against the bottom end of the pressing rod 24. The push rod 242 is located below the connecting rod 23. When the rotating plate 241 drives the push rod 242 to rotate to the lowest position, the wheel groove 212 on the track wheel 21 just abuts against the guide rail 3. At this time, the track wheel 21 is limited on the guide rail 3, so that the feeding hopper 1 can transport materials along the guide rail 3 through the track wheel 21. When the pressing rod 24 is pressed down, the pressing rod 24 drives the rotating plate 241 to rotate, so that the push rod 242 on the rotating plate 241 is lifted up along with the rotation of the rotating plate 241. At this time, the connecting rod 23 drives the guide rods 22 at both ends to lift up the track wheel 21, so as to separate the track wheel 21 from the guide rail 3. When the end wheel 211 is completely separated from the top end of the guide rail 3, the staff can push the feeding hopper 1 outward to make the feeding hopper 1 away from the guide rail 3, so as to separate the feeding hopper 1. Then, the feeding hopper 1 is moved to the return guide rail 3 to align the track wheel 21 with the return guide rail 3, and the pressing rod 24 is released. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 232, the connecting rod 23 drives the guide rod 22 to press the track wheel 21 on the top of the guide rail 3, so as to install the feeding hopper 1 on the return guide rail 3, thereby completing the turning of the feeding hopper 1 to meet the diversified needs in the production process.

[0040] In addition, side covers 25 are also installed on the left and right sides of the feed hopper 1, the side covers 25 cover the guide rods 22, the connecting rods 23 and the pressing rods 24, the bottom end of the side cover 25 is open, an emptying groove 251 is formed at the top position of the left end surface of the side cover 25, the pressing rod 24 passes through the emptying groove 251, the side cover 25 can protect the internal components from external interference, prevent the feed from falling into the guide mechanism 2 and causing the moving components in the guide mechanism 2 to be blocked by the feed, the emptying groove 251 provides a moving space for the pressing rod 24, and ensures the normal operation of the pressing rod 24.

[0041] When the track type diverting conveying device needs to return the feed hopper 1 on the guide rail 3, first, the pressing rod 24 is pressed downward, the pressing rod 24 drives the rotating plate 241 to rotate, under the rotation of the rotating plate 241, the pushing rod 242 on the rotating plate 241 will follow the rotation of the rotating plate 241 and be lifted upward to lift the connecting rod 23, then as the connecting rod 23 is lifted, the connecting rod 23 drives the guide rods 22 at both ends to lift the track wheel 21 upward, so that the track wheel 21 is separated from the guide rail 3, then when the end wheel 211 is completely separated from the top end of the guide rail 3, the staff can push the feed hopper 1 outward to make the feed hopper 1 move away from the guide rail 3, so that the feed hopper 1 moves towards the return guide rail 3, finally, after the other end of the feed hopper 1 is moved to the return guide rail 3 and the track wheel 21 is aligned with the return guide rail 3, the pressing rod 24 is released, at this time, under the elastic force of the spring 232, the connecting rod 23 drives the guide rods 22 to press the track wheel 21 on the top of the guide rail 3 downward, so that the purpose of installing the feed hopper 1 on the return guide rail 3 is achieved, so that the feed hopper 1 is diverted and can return to the feeding position along the return guide rail 3.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 .

[0044] The pressing rod 24 is a bent pipe structure made of iron material, a pair of abutting blocks 26 are further arranged above the pressing rod 24, the abutting blocks 26 are fixedly connected with the side surface of the feed hopper 1, a magnet block 261 is embedded at the top end of the abutting block 26, when the track wheel 21 is matched with the guide rail 3, the outer surface of the pressing rod 24 abuts against the bottom end of the abutting block 26, under the magnetic force of the magnet block 261, the pressing rod 24 abutting against the abutting block 26 is adsorbed at the bottom end of the abutting block 26, so that the pressing action of the pressing rod 24 caused by the bumping of the feed hopper 1 during movement can be prevented, the situation that the track wheel 21 is accidentally lifted to separate the track wheel 21 from the guide rail 3 can be prevented, and the safety is increased.

[0045] It is worth noting that the electrically driven wheel 12 involved in the utility model is a conventional technology, and will not be described herein.
