[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In current industrial applications, many RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle) trolleys use carbon brushes and sliding contact lines as their power source. However, due to the very compact internal structure of the current collector, adjusting the relative vertical position between the carbon brushes and the sliding contact line during actual operation becomes quite difficult. This complexity not only increases the difficulty of operation but also easily leads to human error. When the position between the carbon brushes and the sliding contact line deviates, it can cause a series of problems. First, it significantly reduces the lifespan of the RGV's carbon brushes, as incorrect contact leads to excessive wear. Second, prolonged incorrect contact can also damage the sliding contact line, even causing it to break down. Ultimately, these factors can all lead to malfunctions in the entire RGV system, affecting production efficiency and equipment reliability.

[0031] The primary objective of this application is to solve at least one or more of the aforementioned technical problems. Therefore, this embodiment provides a positioning tool for carbon brushes and sliding contact lines, as well as a current collector and an RGV trolley. This positioning tool is designed to be installed inside an RGV trolley carrying a current collector, and its function is to ensure that the carbon brushes and sliding contact lines of the current collector are accurately positioned and connected. In this way, the accuracy of the relative vertical position between the carbon brushes and the sliding contact lines can be significantly improved, thereby optimizing the overall electrical contact performance and the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a positioning tool for a carbon brush and a sliding contact line. This positioning tool is applied to the current collector on an RGV trolley to position and connect the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4. Structurally, it includes a positioning block 1 and a positioning plate 2. The positioning block 1 is provided with a positioning groove 101; the positioning plate 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 101. When the positioning tool is used, the positioning block 1 is used to assemble with the carbon brush 3 to position the carbon brush 3 to a preset position that can be connected to the sliding contact line 4. After reaching the preset position, the positioning plate 2 contacts the sliding contact line 4.

[0033] In a specific example of this embodiment, the positioning tool described above is specifically introduced. This tool is particularly suitable for use in the current collector assembly on an RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle) trolley to ensure that the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4 are correctly aligned and effectively connected. The positioning tool is designed to include two main structural components: a positioning block 1 and a positioning plate 2. The positioning block 1 is designed to form one or more positioning grooves 101, the size and shape of which match the shape of the carbon brush 3. The positioning plate 2 is designed to be inserted into and securely fixed in these positioning grooves 101. When the positioning tool is used in actual operation, the positioning block 1 plays the role of assembling with the carbon brush 3, ensuring that the carbon brush 3 can be accurately positioned to a specific preset position. This position is pre-calculated to ensure optimal contact and connection between the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4. Once the carbon brush 3 is positioned to this preset position, the positioning plate 2 contacts the sliding contact line 4 and performs the corresponding settings, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire current collector assembly. By applying this positioning tool to an RGV trolley equipped with a current collector, the carbon brush 3 of the current collector can be positioned and connected to the sliding contact line 4, thereby improving the accuracy of the relative vertical position of the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4.

[0034] To further enhance the practicality and ease of operation of the positioning tool, this embodiment also includes a fine adjustment mechanism. This mechanism allows the operator to fine-tune the position of the carbon brush 3 according to actual needs, ensuring optimal contact pressure between the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4, thereby extending the service life of the current collector and reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the design of the combination of the positioning plate 2 and the positioning block 1 employs an easily detachable structure, allowing the operator to quickly and easily perform maintenance tasks such as inspecting the current collector or replacing the carbon brush 3. This design not only improves work efficiency but also ensures operational safety, as the rapid maintenance operation reduces the operator's working time in high-voltage environments.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the positioning block 1 is provided with at least two positioning slots 101.

[0036] In a specific example of this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the positioning block 1 is provided with at least two positioning grooves 101. These positioning grooves 101 are designed to cooperate with multiple positioning plates 2 so that there are enough positioning grooves and positioning plates 2 to contact the sliding contact line 4.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the positioning block 1 is provided with a connecting part 102, which is used to install the positioning block 1 onto the current collector.

[0038] In a specific example of this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the positioning block 1 is provided with a connecting part 102, which facilitates easy installation of the positioning block 1 onto the current collector. This design not only improves the ease of installation but also ensures a secure connection between the positioning block 1 and the current collector, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the entire system.

[0039] Furthermore, the structural design of the connector 102 takes into account various installation environments and conditions, enabling it to adapt to different current collector models and specifications, thus providing broad compatibility. To further improve installation efficiency, the connector 102 may also be equipped with a quick-locking mechanism, allowing operators to quickly and accurately complete the installation of the positioning block. This quick-locking mechanism not only reduces installation time but also lowers the possibility of operational errors, ensuring that optimal performance standards are achieved with each installation.

[0040] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the positioning block is provided with a connector piece, which is used to connect the positioning block to the sliding contact line.

[0041] In a specific example of this embodiment, the positioning block 1 is provided with plug-in pieces 103. These plug-in pieces 103 are designed to conveniently connect the carbon brush 3 positioned on the positioning block 1 to the sliding contact line 4. The shape and size of the plug-in pieces 103 are precisely calculated to ensure a tight fit with the sliding contact line 4, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the positioning block 1 during use.

[0042] In one possible implementation, at least two positioning plates are provided, and at least two of the positioning plates can be in contact with the sliding contact line when the positioning tool is used.

[0043] In a specific example of this embodiment, at least two positioning plates 2 are provided, and at least two positioning plates 2 can contact and connect with the sliding contact line 4 when the positioning tool is used. This design allows the positioning plates 2 to provide sufficient connectivity when in contact with the sliding contact line 4. By providing at least two positioning plates 2, the stability and reliability of the connection can be further improved, thereby ensuring accurate alignment of the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4 during precision operations or assembly.

[0044] This application embodiment also provides a current collector, which includes a carbon brush 3, a sliding contact line 4; and the aforementioned positioning tool for the carbon brush and sliding contact line. The positioning tool is used to position the carbon brush 3 and connect it to the sliding contact line 4, thereby improving the relative vertical position accuracy of the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the current collector provided in this application embodiment further includes a carbon brush mounting plate 5, which is used to mount the carbon brush 3.

[0046] In a specific example of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the current collector provided in this example also includes a carbon brush mounting plate 5, which is designed to mount and secure the carbon brushes 3. This mounting plate is typically made of insulating material to ensure that short circuits do not occur during operation. It may have specific shapes and sizes to accommodate different types of motors or generators. The use of the carbon brush mounting plate 5 improves the stability and lifespan of the carbon brushes 3, while simplifying the replacement process and making maintenance more convenient and efficient.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the carbon brush mounting plate 5 is provided with a positioning rod 501, which is connected to the connecting part 102 provided on the carbon brush and sliding contact line positioning tool, so as to install the carbon brush and sliding contact line positioning tool onto the carbon brush mounting plate 5.

[0048] In a specific example of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a positioning rod 501 is designed on the carbon brush mounting plate 5. The positioning rod 501 is precisely configured to cooperate with the connecting part 102 on the positioning tool of the carbon brush 3 and the sliding contact line 4. This design ensures that the positioning tool of the carbon brush and the sliding contact line can be securely installed on the carbon brush mounting plate 5, thereby achieving precise positioning and installation. In addition, the positioning rod 501 is designed with ease of operation and safety in mind. They are usually made of easy-to-operate materials to ensure that operators can easily perform the operation during installation and disassembly. At the same time, in order to prevent accidental detachment due to vibration or impact during use, a locking mechanism may also be designed between the positioning rod 501 and the connecting part 102 to enhance the overall stability and reliability.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the current collector provided in this application embodiment further includes a protective cover 6, which is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the carbon brush 3 to cover the carbon brush 3.

[0050] In a specific example of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the current collector also includes a protective cover 6, which is designed to be installed on the outer periphery of the carbon brush 3 assembly of the current collector. Its main function is to completely cover the carbon brush 3, thereby providing protection. This design can effectively prevent dust, moisture, or other contaminants from the external environment from entering the carbon brush 3 area, ensuring the cleanliness and good working condition of the carbon brush 3. In addition, the presence of the protective cover 6 can also reduce the risk of operators coming into contact with the exposed brushes when maintaining or replacing the carbon brush 3, thereby improving safety. In some designs, the protective cover 6 may also have a heat dissipation function, helping to dissipate the heat generated by the carbon brush 3 during operation, further improving the performance and lifespan of the current collector.

[0051] Before use, according to the groove shape of the sliding contact line 4, insert the positioning plate 2 into the corresponding positioning groove 101 of the positioning block 1, ensuring that two positioning plates 2 are always located in the sliding contact line 4, and confirm that the carbon brush mounting plate 5 and the protective cover 6 are in a loose state. During use, open the protective cover 6, remove all carbon brushes 3, and assemble the positioning tool with the positioning rod 501 provided with the carbon brush mounting plate 5. After assembly, close the protective cover 6, ensuring that the two positioning plates 2 of the positioning tool are precisely located in the two non-grounded grooves of the sliding contact line 4, thereby positioning the loose carbon brush mounting plate 5. Finally, tighten the fastening bolts of the carbon brush mounting plate 5 and reinstall the previously removed carbon brushes 3. At this point, the positioning connection between the carbon brushes 3 and the sliding contact line 4 is complete.

[0052] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an RGV trolley, including the current collector described above.
