Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guide rail technology, and in particular to a flexible suspension conveyor guide rail. Background Technology

[0002] In the context of increasingly fast-paced modern industrial production, efficient and precise material conveying systems are crucial for maintaining the smooth operation of production lines. As a key conveying equipment relied upon by many industries, the performance of the guide rail system of flexible overhead conveyors directly affects the stability, durability, and efficiency of the entire conveying process.

[0003] However, traditional conveyor rails have problems in practical applications. Taking the installation method as an example, the common practice in the past was to use screws for fixing. During the installation process, workers need to accurately position each section of the rail and then tighten the screws one by one with screwdrivers and other tools to ensure a stable connection. This operation is not only cumbersome but also extremely time-consuming. Especially in large production workshops where a large number of rails need to be laid, the screw fixing method will significantly extend the installation cycle. Therefore, an improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose a flexible suspended conveyor guide rail.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flexible suspended conveyor guide rail, comprising a guide rail one and a guide rail two, wherein H-shaped inserts are fixedly installed at both ends of the guide rail two, and H-shaped slots are provided at both ends of the guide rail one. A limiting groove is provided through the top of the H-shaped inserts and the guide rail one, and a limiting plate is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the top of the limiting plate, and a limiting hole is provided through one side of the limiting plate. A housing is symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide rail one, and a sliding groove is provided through the bottom of the housing. An mounting plate is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the housing, and a spring is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate. A limiting post is fixedly installed at the end of the spring away from the mounting plate, and a pull handle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limiting post.

[0006] Preferably, the handle is slidably connected to the slide groove, and the limiting post is slidably connected to the housing.

[0007] Preferably, the H-shaped plug and the H-shaped slot are slidably connected.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting hole and the limiting post are slidably connected.

[0010] Preferably, the tough metal substrate is made of low-carbon alloy steel or copper alloy, the ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composite layer is made by processes such as stirring casting or powder metallurgy, the high-strength metal plate layer is made of high-strength aluminum alloy plate or high-strength steel plate, and the high-strength polymer coating is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene coating or polyether ether ketone coating.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, by pulling the handle, the limiting post is driven to compress the spring into the housing, and the H-shaped plug of guide rail two can be easily inserted into the H-shaped slot of guide rail one. Then, using the connecting plate at the top of the limiting plate, the worker can easily slide the limiting plate along the limiting groove to the appropriate position, so that the limiting hole is aligned with the limiting post. After releasing the handle, the spring pushes the limiting post into the limiting hole, realizing a tight and stable connection between guide rail one and guide rail two. This process does not require complicated tools such as screwdrivers, and the operation steps are simple and clear. At the same time, this installation method greatly improves the installation efficiency and can significantly shorten the installation cycle for the large-scale guide rail laying work in large production workshops.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, the tough metal bottom layer is made of low-carbon alloy steel or copper alloy, which can absorb the collision and vibration energy during material conveying with its good toughness, reducing the impact on the interior of guide rail one and guide rail two, and stabilizing the operation. The ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composite material layer is made by a specific process, with high strength, high hardness and excellent wear resistance, effectively resisting the friction between the material and the guide rail, extending the service life of guide rail one and guide rail two and reducing maintenance costs. The high-strength metal plate layer is made of high-strength aluminum alloy plate or steel plate, which enhances the overall strength of guide rail one and guide rail two, enabling it to bear greater weight and external force, ensuring conveying accuracy and preventing deformation during use. The outermost high-strength polymer coating, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or polyetheretherketone coating, not only helps the material slide smoothly with an extremely low coefficient of friction, reducing conveying resistance and improving conveying efficiency, but also, due to its strong chemical stability, can prevent corrosion of the surface of guide rail one and guide rail two, comprehensively protecting the internal structure of guide rail one and guide rail two and ensuring long-term stable operation.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1: As Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a flexible suspended conveyor guide rail, including guide rail 1 and guide rail 2. H-shaped inserts 3 are fixedly installed at both ends of guide rail 2. H-shaped slots 4 are opened at both ends of guide rail 1. Limiting grooves 5 are formed through the top of the H-shaped inserts 3 and guide rail 1. A limiting plate 6 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 5. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the limiting plate 6. A limiting hole 8 is formed through one side of the limiting plate 6. A housing is symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of guide rail 1. 9. A sliding groove 10 is provided through the bottom of the housing 9. An installation piece 11 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the housing 9. A spring 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the installation piece 11. A limiting post 13 is fixedly installed at the end of the spring 12 away from the installation piece 11. A handle 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the limiting post 13. The handle 14 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 10. The limiting post 13 is slidably connected to the housing 9. The H-shaped insert 3 is slidably connected to the H-shaped slot 4. The limiting hole 8 is slidably connected to the limiting post 13.

[0022] In this embodiment, by pulling the handle 14, the limiting post 13 compresses the spring 12 and retracts into the housing 9, allowing the H-shaped insert 3 of guide rail 2 to be easily inserted into the H-shaped slot 4 of guide rail 1. Subsequently, using the connecting plate 7 at the top of the limiting plate 6, the worker can easily slide the limiting plate 6 along the limiting groove 5 to a suitable position, aligning the limiting hole 8 with the limiting post 13. After releasing the handle 14, the spring 12 pushes the limiting post 13 into the limiting hole 8, achieving a tight and stable connection between guide rail 1 and guide rail 2. This process does not require complex tools such as screwdrivers, and the operation steps are simple and clear. At the same time, this installation method greatly improves installation efficiency and can significantly shorten the installation cycle for the large-scale guide rail laying work in large production workshops.

[0023] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a tough metal base layer 15 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2. A ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composite layer 16 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the tough metal base layer 15. A high-strength metal plate layer 17 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composite layer 16. A high-strength polymer coating 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the high-strength metal plate layer 17. The tough metal base layer 15 is made of low-carbon alloy steel or copper alloy. The ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composite layer 16 is made by processes such as stirring casting or powder metallurgy. The high-strength metal plate layer 17 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy plate or high-strength steel plate. The high-strength polymer coating 18 is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene coating or polyetheretherketone coating.

[0024] In this embodiment, the tough metal bottom layer 15 is made of low-carbon alloy steel or copper alloy, which can absorb the collision and vibration energy during material conveying with its good toughness, reducing the impact on the interior of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2, and stabilizing the operation. The ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composite layer 16 is made by a specific process, with high strength, high hardness and excellent wear resistance, effectively resisting the friction between the material and the guide rail, extending the service life of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2 and reducing maintenance costs. The high-strength metal plate layer 17 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy plate or steel plate, which enhances the overall strength of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2, enabling it to bear greater weight and external force, ensuring conveying accuracy and preventing deformation during use. The outermost high-strength polymer coating 18, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or polyetheretherketone coating, not only helps the material slide smoothly with an extremely low coefficient of friction, reducing conveying resistance and improving conveying efficiency, but also, due to its strong chemical stability, can prevent corrosion of the surface of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2, comprehensively protecting the internal structure of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2 and ensuring long-term stable operation.

[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When installing guide rail 1 and guide rail 2, first pull the two sets of handles 14 to make them slide inside the slide groove 10. During the sliding process, the handles 14 will drive the limiting post 13 to slide inside the housing 9. During the sliding process, the limiting post 13 will press the spring 12 towards the location of the mounting piece 11. After being pressed to a certain extent, the limiting post 13 will retract into the housing 9. After retraction, the H-shaped inserts 3 at both ends of guide rail 2 are inserted into the H-shaped slots 4 at both ends of guide rail 1. At this time, the H-shaped inserts 3 and the limiting groove 5 through the top of guide rail 1 are in a through state. Then, the limiting plate 6 is slowly slid along the limiting groove 5. Since the connecting plate 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the limiting plate 6, the worker can easily hold and accurately push the limiting plate 6 to make it... Smoothly move to the appropriate position, aligning the limiting hole 8 through one side of the limiting plate 6 with the limiting post 13 inside the bottom housing 9 of guide rail 1. After alignment, the worker releases the previously pulled handle 14, and the compressed spring 12 instantly releases its elastic potential energy. The spring 12 will quickly push the limiting post 13 out of the housing 9, and the limiting post 13 will quickly insert into the limiting hole 8. With the insertion of the limiting post 13, guide rail 1 and guide rail 2 are tightly and securely connected together. Compared with the traditional screw fixing of guide rails, the whole process does not require the use of complex tools such as screwdrivers. The operation steps are simple and clear, greatly improving the installation efficiency. It is especially suitable for the laying of a large number of guide rails in large production workshops, which can significantly shorten the installation cycle and quickly build an efficient material conveying track system. The outer surfaces of guide rails 1 and 2 are composed of multiple layers of materials. The tough metal bottom layer 15 is made of low-carbon alloy steel or copper alloy, which has good toughness and can effectively absorb the collision and vibration energy generated during material conveying, reducing the impact on the internal structure of guide rails 1 and 2, playing a buffering and protective role, and ensuring the operational stability of guide rails 1 and 2. The ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composite layer 16 is made by stirring casting or powder metallurgy, possessing high strength, high hardness, and excellent wear resistance. It mainly bears the friction between the material and the surface of guide rails 1 and 2, effectively resisting wear, extending the service life of guide rails 1 and 2, reducing maintenance costs, and high strength. The high-strength metal plate layer 17 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy plate or high-strength steel plate, which further enhances the overall strength of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2, enabling them to withstand greater weight and external forces, preventing deformation during use, and ensuring conveying accuracy. The outermost high-strength polymer coating 18, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene coating or polyether ether ketone coating, has an extremely low coefficient of friction, making the material slide more smoothly on guide rail 1 and guide rail 2, reducing conveying resistance, and improving conveying efficiency. At the same time, its good chemical stability can prevent the surface of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2 from being corroded, providing all-round protection for the internal structure of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2, and maintaining the long-term stable operation of guide rail 1 and guide rail 2.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
