[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The capture device 100 disclosed in this embodiment of the present invention is disposed on the inclined guide rail 200 of the accumulating overhead conveyor. The capture device 100 includes at least a first side plate 101, a second side plate 102 and a support mechanism. The support mechanism is fixed to the upper end surface of the inclined guide rail 200 of the accumulating overhead conveyor. One end of the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 102 are respectively rotatably connected to the two ends of the support mechanism and respectively placed on both sides of the inclined guide rail 200. The other end is respectively used to contact the trolley 300 passing under the inclined guide rail 200. The first side plate 101 and the second side plate 102 are both made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0035] When the conveyor chain 400 is working normally, the carriage trolley 300 moves from low to high on the inclined guide rail 200 of the accumulating overhead conveyor. When it passes the catcher 100, it can touch the other end of the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 102 and rub against the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 102. Under the action of the support mechanism, the other end of the catcher 100 is lifted up. When the conveyor chain 400 on which the carriage trolley 300 is located breaks, the catcher 100 can prevent the carriage trolley 300 from sliding down from the height of the inclined guide rail 200 to avoid causing a major accident.

[0036] Since the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 102 disclosed in this embodiment are both made of polytetrafluoroethylene, the wear of the catcher 100 can be reduced when it rubs against the carriage trolley 300, thereby further improving the reliability of the catcher 100.

[0037] It should be explained that polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-molecular polymer synthesized from tetrafluoroethylene as a monomer. It is white, waxy, translucent, and exhibits excellent heat and cold resistance, allowing for long-term use at temperatures ranging from -180 to 260ºC. This material is resistant to acids, alkalis, and various organic solvents, and is virtually insoluble in all solvents. Furthermore, PTFE is heat-resistant and has an extremely low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for lubrication and as an ideal coating for easy-to-clean water pipe interiors.

[0038] This utility model embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the support mechanism. The support mechanism can be a support frame, a support block, or other structures.

Among them, support seat 103 is polytetrafluoroethylene material. Such setting, can realize the self -lubricating design of catcher 100, to realize the maintenance -free of catcher 100.

[0040] In order to avoid the pivot 104 to fall off, the utility model discloses a pivot 104 both ends are provided with split pin 105 respectively to prevent the pivot 104 from falling off.

[0041] As a further embodiment, the utility model discloses a first gasket 106 is arranged between first side plate 101 and support seat 103, and a second gasket 107 is arranged between second side plate 102 and support seat 103.

[0042] Among them, the material of first gasket 106 and second gasket 107 is polytetrafluoroethylene, so that the maintenance -free design of catcher 100 can be realized, and the maintenance -free of catcher 100 can be realized.

[0043] In order to reduce the weight of the whole catcher 100, the utility model discloses a first lightening hole 108 is further arranged on first side plate 101, and a second lightening hole 109 is further arranged on second side plate 102.

[0044] Since the slide carriage 300 is mainly rubbed with the lower part of the catcher 100, the utility model discloses that the outer side wall of first side plate 101 is further provided with a first wear-resistant strip 110, and the outer side wall of second side plate 102 is further provided with a second wear-resistant strip.

[0045] Among them, the first wear-resistant strip 110 is arranged at the lower part of the first lightening hole 108, and the second wear-resistant strip is arranged at the lower part of the second lightening hole 109. Such setting can further reduce the friction coefficient between the bottom of the catcher 100 and the slide carriage 300, and further improve the reliability of the catcher 100.

[0046] Among them, the length of the first wear-resistant strip 110 is same with the length of first side plate 101, and the length of the second wear-resistant strip is same with the length of second side plate 102. Compared with setting a wear-resistant strip, the utility model discloses a catcher 100 can further improve its reliability.

[0047] In order to improve the overall strength of the catcher 100, the utility model discloses a catcher 100 further includes a connecting block 111, wherein the connecting block 111 is connected to the other end of first side plate 101 and second side plate 102. Such setting, the connecting block 111 is connected with the end of catcher 100 that is lifted as a whole.

[0048] As a further embodiment, the catcher 100 disclosed in the utility model embodiment further comprises a buffer block 112, one end of the buffer block 112 is connected with the connecting block 111, and the other end is in abutment with the upper end surface of the inclined guide rail 200.
