Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a main road lane separation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In modern logistics and manufacturing, cargo transportation and sorting are crucial links. With increasing production efficiency and expanding logistics scale, there is a need to accurately and efficiently allocate goods from the main transportation route to different branch routes for purposes such as classification, storage, or further processing. Traditional lane-separating mechanisms may suffer from low lane-separating accuracy, poor adaptability to different types of goods, and susceptibility to malfunctions leading to transportation interruptions. To improve the automation, operational efficiency, and reliability of transportation systems and meet the ever-growing demands of logistics and production, it is necessary to develop a main transportation route lane-separating mechanism capable of achieving smooth and accurate lane separation. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a main road lane separation mechanism with good adaptability and stability.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a main road lane separation mechanism, including a track chain and a square tube arranged perpendicularly to the track chain. A first track for vehicle operation is provided below the track chain, and a second track is provided below the square tube. The second track is fixed on an L-shaped groove extending from the square tube. A lane separation device is provided between the first track and the second track. The lane separation device includes a cylinder disposed below the L-shaped groove, a protective device fixed on the piston rod of the cylinder, and a curved rail installed on the protective device. The lane separation device is configured to smoothly transfer a vehicle running on the first track to the second track.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that: the protective device includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the piston rod, a support plate rotatably connected to the mounting plate, and a spring member disposed between the mounting plate and the support plate; the protective device is configured such that when the pulley is pushed too fast, it lifts the curved rail and drives the support plate away from the mounting plate, causing the spring member to undergo elastic deformation, the pulley continues to run along the first track, and the curved rail is reset under the action of the elastic force, ensuring that the subsequent pulley enters the second track.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the support plate is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes, and the curved rail is provided with a limiting hole that matches and is securely connected to the adjustment holes.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the curved rail is installed at an overall angle, the curved rail includes an arc segment and a vertical segment, and both the entry end of the arc segment and the exit end of the vertical segment are provided with a slope.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the curved rail is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the mounting plate and the support plate are provided with through holes for connecting to the spring component on the same side.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. The first track below the chain provides a stable sliding path for the pulleys. The second track below the square tube is securely fixed by an L-shaped groove. The cylinder in the separating device is installed below the L-shaped groove, making full use of the L-shaped groove structure for support. This ensures the stability of the entire separating mechanism, enabling it to withstand the impact force during pulley transfer, reducing component loosening and displacement, and extending the equipment's service life. The curved rail is installed on the protective device. When the pulleys transfer, the special shape of the curved rail guides the pulleys to a smooth transition, preventing goods from shaking or falling due to sharp turns or bumps. The protective device ensures that the pulleys are separated in an orderly manner, preventing the pulleys from lifting the curved rail too quickly, thus preventing subsequent pulleys from being separated. By controlling the extension and retraction of the piston rod with the cylinder, the position of the curved rail can be precisely adjusted. Operators can accurately guide the pulleys from the first track to the second track according to the transportation rhythm and the arrival time of the goods, achieving efficient and precise separating, avoiding transportation chaos, and improving overall transportation efficiency. It is particularly suitable for scenarios with high requirements for transportation sequence and separating accuracy.

[0012] 2. When the pulley is pushed too fast, the protective device plays a crucial role. Because the curved rail is connected to the protective device, the rapidly moving pulley generates a large impact force, lifting the curved rail and moving the support plate away from the mounting plate. The spring deforms, generating elastic force. This process effectively buffers the impact force of the pulley, preventing damage to the lane separating device and other components due to excessive impact, extending the service life of the lane separating mechanism, and reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime. After the pulley moves away from the curved rail, the elastic force generated by the spring allows the curved rail to quickly return to its original position. When the subsequent pulley reaches the lane separating position, the curved rail returns to its normal lane separating working state, ensuring that the subsequent pulley can smoothly enter the second track. This guarantees the continuity of the main transport lane separating operation and automatically handles such emergencies without manual intervention, improving the automation level and operational efficiency of the transport system.

[0013] 3. Several adjustment holes are provided on the support plate, and matching and securely connected limiting holes are provided inside the curved rail, making the connection between the curved rail and the support plate simple and reliable. During installation, the curved rail can be quickly and accurately fixed to the support plate via a threaded connection; when maintenance, replacement, or adjustment of the curved rail is required, the operation can be easily completed by disassembling the threaded connection. This greatly reduces the difficulty and time cost of maintenance, improves the maintainability of the equipment, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the main transport route separation mechanism. The curved rail is divided into an arc section and a vertical section, with slopes at the entry end of the arc section and the exit end of the vertical section. The arc section allows for a smooth transition of the pulley during the transfer from the first track to the second track. The pulley smoothly enters the arc section along the slope and gradually changes its direction of movement, avoiding impacts and shaking caused by sudden turns, ensuring the stability of the pulley and the goods it carries during the transfer process. The slope at the exit end of the vertical section helps the pulley smoothly leave the curved rail and smoothly enter the second track, further improving the smoothness of the separation process.

[0014] 4. The mounting plate and the support plate are provided with through holes on the same side for connecting to the spring components, which makes the installation and removal of the spring components more convenient. When installing the spring components, the spring components can be quickly connected to the mounting plate and the support plate through the through holes. When it is necessary to inspect, replace or adjust the spring components, it is also possible to operate conveniently through the through holes. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.

[0021] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0022] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.

[0023] Figures 1 to 2 The illustrated main road lane separation mechanism includes a track chain 1 and a square tube 2 perpendicularly arranged to the track chain 1. A first track 3 for vehicle movement is located below the track chain 1, and a second track 4 is located below the square tube 2. The second track 4 is fixed to an L-shaped groove 5 extending from the lower part of the square tube 2. The L-shaped groove 5 provides structural support, enhancing the stability of the entire separation mechanism and enabling it to withstand the impact of pulley movement, reducing component loosening and displacement, and extending equipment lifespan. A lane separation device is provided between the first track 3 and the second track 4. When the pulley moves, the special shape of the curved rail 7 guides the pulley to a smooth transition, preventing cargo from shaking or falling due to sharp turns or bumps. The protective device ensures orderly lane separation of the pulleys, preventing pulleys from lifting the curved rail 7 too quickly, thus preventing subsequent pulleys from separating. The aforementioned lane-separating device includes a cylinder 6 located below the L-shaped groove 5, a protective device fixed to the piston rod of the cylinder 6, and a curved rail 7 installed on the protective device. By controlling the extension and retraction of the piston rod through the cylinder 6, the position of the curved rail 7 can be precisely adjusted. Operators can accurately guide the pulleys from the first track 3 to the second track 4 according to the transportation rhythm and the arrival time of the goods, achieving efficient and precise lane separation, avoiding transportation chaos, and improving overall transportation efficiency. It is particularly suitable for scenarios with high requirements for transportation sequence and lane separation accuracy.

[0024] The protective device includes a mounting plate 8 fixedly connected to the piston rod, a support plate 9 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 8, and a spring element 10 disposed between the mounting plate 8 and the support plate 9. When the pulley is pushed too fast, the protective device plays a crucial role. Because the curved rail 7 is connected to the protective device, the rapidly moving pulley generates a large impact force, lifting the curved rail 7 and causing the support plate 9 to move away from the mounting plate 8. The spring element 10 deforms, generating elastic force. This process effectively buffers the impact force of the pulley, preventing damage to the lane separating device and other components due to excessive impact force, extending the service life of the lane separating mechanism, and reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime. After the pulley moves away from the curved rail 7, the elastic force generated by the spring element 10 allows the curved rail 7 to quickly return to its original position. When the subsequent pulley reaches the lane separating position, the curved rail 7 returns to its normal lane separating working state, ensuring that the subsequent pulley can smoothly enter the second track 4, guaranteeing the continuity of the main transport lane separating operation. This automatic handling of such emergencies without manual intervention improves the automation level and operating efficiency of the transport system.

[0025] The support plate 9 is provided with several adjustment holes, and the curved rail 7 is provided with limiting holes 12 that match and are securely connected to the adjustment holes, making the connection between the curved rail 7 and the support plate 9 simple and reliable. When installing the curved rail 7, it can be quickly and accurately fixed to the support plate 9 via a threaded connection; and when maintenance, replacement, or adjustment of the curved rail 7 is required, the operation can be easily completed by disassembling the threaded connection. This greatly reduces the difficulty and time cost of maintenance, improves the maintainability of the equipment, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the main transport road lane separation mechanism.

[0026] The curved rail 7 is installed at an overall angle. The curved rail 7 includes an arc segment 13 and a vertical segment 14. Both the entry end of the arc segment 13 and the exit end of the vertical segment 14 are sloped. The arc segment 13 allows for a smooth transition of the pulley during the transfer from the first track 3 to the second track 4. The pulley smoothly enters the arc segment 13 along the slope and gradually changes its direction of movement, avoiding impacts and shaking caused by sudden turns, thus ensuring the stability of the pulley and the goods it carries during the transfer process. The slope at the exit end of the vertical segment 14 helps the pulley smoothly leave the curved rail 7 and smoothly enter the second track 4, further improving the smoothness of the separation process. Due to the arc segment 13 and the slope design at both ends of the curved rail 7, the resistance encountered by the pulley during the separation process is reduced, allowing the pulley to pass through the curved rail 7 more smoothly. This reduces friction between the pulley and the curved rail 7, thereby reducing wear on components and extending the service life of the curved rail 7 and the pulley. At the same time, lower resistance also means less energy loss during lane separation, improving the energy efficiency of the transportation system and saving operating costs in the long run.

[0027] The mounting plate 8 and the support plate 9 are provided with through holes 15 on the same side for connecting to the spring component 10, which makes the installation and removal of the spring component 10 more convenient. When installing the spring component 10, the spring component 10 can be quickly connected to the mounting plate 8 and the support plate 9 through the through holes 15. When it is necessary to inspect, replace or adjust the spring component 10, it can also be conveniently operated through the through holes 15.

Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
