Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0018] This application discloses a flow strip for a flow rack. (See also...) Figure 1-3 A flow rail for flow racks mainly consists of a slide rail 1, a roller assembly 2, and an installation end 3, which enables smooth sliding and precise positioning of goods on the flow rail, providing an efficient goods storage and handling solution for warehousing and logistics scenarios.

[0019] Reference Figure 1The slide rail 1 is the main support structure of the flow rail, including a U-shaped plate 101 and an upper partition 102. The U-shaped plate 101 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel and is processed by extrusion molding or stamping. It has sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the weight of the goods and the friction during the sliding process. The partition 102 is made with the U-shaped plate 101 using an integral molding technology, so that the partition 102 can be stably fixed to the upper end of the U-shaped plate 101, providing support for the installation of other components and the stability of the overall structure.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 The bottom of the U-shaped plate 101 is provided with a positioning groove 4, which is made by machining to ensure its dimensional and shape accuracy. It is used to cooperate with the positioning strip 3012 of the mounting end 3. This cooperation method can accurately position the mounting end 3, improve the stability of the connection between the mounting end 3 and the slide rail 1, ensure that the mounting end 3 will not be displaced during the sliding of goods, and ensure the stability of the overall structure of the flow strip.

[0021] Reference Figure 3 An arc-shaped groove 5 and an arc-shaped channel 6 are provided at the connection between the U-shaped plate 101 and the partition plate 102. The arc-shaped groove 5 is used to install the roller assembly 2. Several roller assemblies 2 are arranged in the two opposite arc-shaped grooves 5. The roller assemblies 2 support and guide the goods to slide on the flow strip within the arc-shaped grooves 5. Both the arc-shaped grooves 5 and 6 are made with the integral molding technology of 1, which enables the roller assembly 2 to roll smoothly. At the same time, the arc-shaped channel 6 is annealed and softened so that it can be repeatedly bent without breaking and can still recover its original shape.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 The roller assembly 2 includes a roller shaft 201 and a roller 202. The roller shaft 201 is made of high-strength alloy steel and machined through turning and grinding processes to ensure surface finish and dimensional accuracy, guaranteeing the roller 202 can rotate freely on it. The roller 202 is made of wear-resistant rubber or polyurethane material and manufactured through injection molding, exhibiting good wear resistance and elasticity, reducing noise and vibration during cargo sliding. A bearing connection is used between the roller 202 and the roller shaft 201, greatly improving the roller 202's rotational flexibility and service life. The roller assembly 2 is installed in the arc-shaped groove 5, with the roller shaft 201 aligned with one end of the arc-shaped groove 5. Gently pushing the roller assembly 2 allows it to slowly slide into the arc-shaped groove 5, enabling the roller 202 to roll freely within the groove 5, providing crucial support for the smooth sliding of goods.

[0023] Reference Figure 3Both ends of the slide rail 1 are provided with mounting ends 3. Each mounting end 3 includes an end 301, and the sliding sleeve 3011 of the end 301 is made of a material matching the U-shaped plate 101 and manufactured through machining processes to ensure its fitting accuracy with the U-shaped plate 101. The sliding sleeve 3011 is fitted onto the end of the U-shaped plate 101, and the positioning strip 3012 on the inner side of the sliding sleeve 3011 cooperates with the positioning groove 4 at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 101, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the mounting end 3 and the slide rail 1. Simultaneously, an insert 3013 is slidably disposed within the U-shaped plate 101, and the insert 3013 is fixedly disposed on the sliding sleeve 3011. A reinforcing rib is provided at the connection between the insert 3013 and the sliding sleeve 3011, formed by welding or casting, enhancing the connection strength between the insert 3013 and the sliding sleeve 3011 and ensuring the structural stability of the mounting end 3.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 Several positioning holes 8 are provided on the outer side of the arc-shaped groove 6 on the end 301. The positioning holes 8 are machined on the end 301 by drilling. A positioning post 302 is provided in the positioning hole 8. The positioning post 302 is made of high-strength steel and manufactured by machining process to ensure the accuracy and stability of its fit with the positioning hole 8. The side of the positioning post 302 abuts against the partition plate 102. Through the cooperation between the positioning post 302 and the positioning hole 8, the installation end 3 and the slide rail 1 can be quickly connected and positioned. At the same time, it complements the cooperation with the positioning strip 3012 and the positioning groove 4, further improving the stability of the connection.

[0025] The implementation principle of a flow strip for a flow rack in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0026] When installing the flow strip, firstly, the slide rail 1 is cut according to the installation requirements. Then, the roller shaft 201 of the roller assembly 2 is aligned with the arc-shaped slide groove 5. Next, the roller assembly 2 is slid into the arc-shaped slide groove 5 to install it on the slide rail 1. Then, the sliding sleeve 3011 of the installation end 3 is fitted onto the end of the U-shaped plate 101, allowing the positioning strip 3012 to be inserted into the positioning groove 4. Simultaneously, the insert block 3013 slides to the appropriate position within the U-shaped plate 101. Through the cooperation of the positioning strip 3012 and the positioning groove 4, and the fixing effect of the insert block 3013, a firm connection is achieved between the installation end 3 and the slide rail 1. Finally, the positioning post 302 is inserted into the positioning hole 8, with its side abutting against the partition plate 102, completing the entire flow strip installation process. This installation method is simple to operate, requiring no complex tools or cumbersome steps, greatly improving installation efficiency.

[0027] When roller assembly 2 is damaged and needs replacement, first remove the positioning post 302, then bend the partition 102 on one side upwards. Since there is a certain limiting relationship between the partition 102 and roller assembly 2, bending the partition 102 releases the limiting effect on roller assembly 2. At this point, the damaged roller assembly 2 can be quickly removed from the arc-shaped groove 5 and replaced with a new roller assembly 2. After the operation is complete, reset the partition 102, then insert the positioning post 302 again. The positioning post 302 blocks the partition 102, preventing it from bending again and ensuring the normal use of the flow strip. This maintenance method is simple and quick, allowing for the replacement of roller assembly 2 in a short time and minimizing the impact on warehousing operations.
