Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary support technology, and in particular to an auxiliary support device for tank chains. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and advancement of automation, automated production lines are also rapidly evolving. Many cables exist within automated equipment, and to prevent tangling, tank chains are often installed to protect them. Small tank chains operate without jamming, but large tank chains, due to their excessive length, lack support when extended, leading to excessive weight and sagging. This can cause the tank chain to become unsmooth when retracting, resulting in jamming. Overly long tank chains can even interfere with normal equipment operation, reducing work efficiency. Installing multiple small tank chains complicates operation and increases costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary support device for tank chains, solving the technical problem in the prior art where large tank chains, due to their excessive length and weight, sag partially when opened, leading to uneven retraction and jamming. This invention has a simple structure and lower cost.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A tank track auxiliary support device includes a base, a connecting base plate, and at least one longitudinally extending support rod; the upper and lower ends of the support rod are respectively connected to the base and the connecting base plate; an elastic component is provided on the outer ring of the support rod between the base and the connecting base plate; two symmetrically distributed side plates are provided on the upper end of the connecting base plate, and a rolling shaft is connected between the two side plates.

[0006] The upper end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the connecting base plate, while the lower end of the support rod is slidably connected to the base. A barrier part is connected to the outer ring of the lower end of the support rod, which is located below the base. Alternatively, the lower end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the base, while the upper end of the support rod is slidably connected to the connecting base plate. A barrier part is connected to the outer ring of the upper end of the support rod, which is located above the connecting base plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the elastic component is a spring.

[0008] Furthermore, a protective sleeve is radially connected to the outer ring of the spring; the height of the protective sleeve is less than the distance between the connecting base plate and the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the protective sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, there are three or more rolling shafts.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a tank chain auxiliary support device, which has the following features:

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention provides an auxiliary support device for supporting tank chains and preventing localized sagging of the tank chains.

[0014] Multiple tank chain auxiliary support devices as described in this invention can be installed along the tank chain's running path. The auxiliary support device is fixedly installed by securing the base to other equipment. During use, the fixedly installed auxiliary support device is located below the tank chain, with the lower end face of the tank chain contacting the rolling shaft within the auxiliary support device, thus providing auxiliary support for the tank chain. Furthermore, multiple tank chain auxiliary support devices are distributed along the tank chain's running path, enabling multi-point auxiliary support for the tank chain.

[0015] In addition, to prevent the tank chain and cables from becoming too heavy, a spring is incorporated into the auxiliary support device for the tank chain to provide cushioning. When the tank chain is in the open position, it continuously extends, contacting multiple support points to prevent sagging of excessively heavy parts. The rolling shaft assists in transmission, and the spring compresses to cushion the weight in the middle of the tank chain. When the tank chain retracts, the auxiliary support allows for faster retraction. As the tank chain leaves the support device, the spring lifts the fixing mechanism to restore the support height.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a tank chain auxiliary support device.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the tank track auxiliary support device in this embodiment includes a base 1, a connecting base plate 2, and two longitudinally extending support rods 3; the upper and lower ends of each support rod 3 are connected to the base 1 and the connecting base plate 2 respectively; an elastic component is provided on the outer ring of each support rod 3 between the base 1 and the connecting base plate 2; two symmetrically distributed side plates 6 are provided on the upper end of the connecting base plate 2, and a rolling shaft 7 is connected between the two side plates 6.

[0024] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lower end of the support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1, while the upper end of the support rod 3 is slidably connected to the connecting base plate 2. A blocking part 5 is connected to the outer ring of the upper end of the support rod 3, and this blocking part 5 is located above the connecting base plate 2. Preferably, in this embodiment, the elastic component is a spring 4, which wraps around the outer wall of the support rod 3 and is located between the base 1 and the connecting base plate 2. When the tank chain presses against the upper end of the rolling shaft 7, since the base 1 is fixed and does not move, the connecting base plate 2 is pressed down and moves, squeezing the two springs 4 downwards, causing the springs 4 to contract. Because the connecting base plate 2 and the support rod 3 are slidably connected, after the springs 4 contract, the connecting base plate 2 and the support rod 3 slide relative to each other, which can buffer the pressure from the tank chain. When the tank chain leaves the auxiliary support device, the springs 4 automatically return to their original position and extend, lifting the connecting base plate 2 upwards, thereby restoring the support height of the connecting base plate 2 and the rolling shaft 7.

[0025] Of course, regarding the connection structure between the support rod 3, the base 1, and the connecting base plate 2, besides the above-mentioned scheme where the lower end of the support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1 and the upper end of the support rod 3 is slidably connected to the connecting base plate 2, we can also reverse the connection method of the upper and lower ends of the support rod 3. That is, we can change it to: the upper end of the support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting base plate 2, while the lower end of the support rod 3 is slidably connected to the base 1, and a blocking part is connected to the outer ring of the lower end of the support rod 3, which is located below the base 1. In the modified connection structure, since the lower end of the support rod 3 is slidably connected to the base 1, the position of the blocking part changes. It is now set on the outer ring of the lower end of the support rod 3 and located below the base 1. When the spring 4 contracts, the support rod 3 and the base 1 slide relative to each other.

[0026] In this embodiment, the blocking part 5 is used to prevent the support rod 3 from separating from the connecting base plate 2 after the spring 4 extends and resets, thus serving as a limiting function. Of course, when the blocking part is located on the lower outer ring of the support rod 3 and below the base 1, since the lower end of the support rod 3 is slidably connected to the base 1, the function of the blocking part is to prevent the support rod 3 from separating from the base 1 after the spring 4 extends and resets.

[0027] In this embodiment, two side plates 6 are fixed to the upper end of the connecting base plate 2 for mounting the rolling shafts 7. This embodiment includes three rolling shafts 7 arranged side-by-side, with each rolling shaft 7 having its left and right ends rotatably connected to two side plates 6 respectively. When the lower end of the tank chain 10 contacts and moves back and forth along the upper end of the rolling shaft 7, the rolling shaft 7 rolls, effectively assisting the movement of the tank chain 10.

[0028] Preferably, in this embodiment, a hollow cylindrical protective sleeve 8 is radially fitted around the outer ring of the spring 4, and the lower end of the protective sleeve 8 is fixed to the base 1. Figure 1 As shown, the lower part of the spring 4 is located between the inner wall of the protective sleeve 8 and the outer wall of the support rod 3. Furthermore, the longitudinal distance between the connecting base plate 2 and the base 1 is H1, and the vertical height of the protective sleeve 8 is H2, where H1 is greater than H2. That is, when the spring 4 is extended and the lower end of the protective sleeve 8 abuts against the upper end of the base 1, there is still a gap between the upper end of the protective sleeve 8 and the lower end of the connecting base plate 2. Figure 3 As shown.

[0029] As the spring 4 contracts under pressure, the lower end of the connecting base plate 2 will gradually approach and contact the upper end of the protective sleeve 8. Once the lower end of the connecting base plate 2 abuts against the upper end of the protective sleeve 8, the spring 4 will be unable to continue contracting, thus effectively controlling the excessive contraction of the spring.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bolt passes through the mounting holes on the fixing block 9 and the mounting holes on the base 1 from bottom to top and is then screwed into the threaded hole at the lower end of the protective sleeve 8, thereby achieving the fastening of the protective sleeve 8, the base 1 and the fixing block 9.

[0031] Multiple auxiliary support devices for the tank chain described in this embodiment can be installed along the running path of the tank chain. The auxiliary support device is fixedly installed by securing the base 1 to other equipment. During use, the fixedly installed auxiliary support device is located below the tank chain, and the lower end face of the tank chain contacts the rolling shaft 7 in the auxiliary support device, thereby providing auxiliary support for the tank chain. Figure 2 As shown. Meanwhile, multiple auxiliary support devices for the tank chain are distributed along the running path of the tank chain, enabling multi-point auxiliary support for the tank chain.
