Description

A ground rail conveyor belt Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor technology, specifically a ground-rail conveyor belt. Background Technology

[0002] Ground rails, also known as ground tracks, are typically installed on the ground or buried underground with exposed sections. They are commonly used for the horizontal movement of equipment such as robots and RGV vehicles. For example, RGV vehicles move back and forth in areas such as cargo storage areas and equipment processing areas guided by ground rails, thereby completing tasks such as loading and unloading equipment and transferring goods.

[0003] When the RGV trolley docks with equipment, it needs to use a conveyor to take goods out of or put them into the equipment. Conveying devices include roller conveyors, belt conveyors, slides, and elevators. The ground rail conveyor belt is a conveyor belt installed on the top of the RGV trolley. Goods are transported from the equipment or warehouse to the ground rail conveyor belt for loading. After that, the ground rail conveyor belt moves to another piece of equipment or another warehouse and is fed into the equipment or warehouse's conveyor belt via its top conveyor belt for unloading. This completes the transfer of goods.

[0004] Existing ground-rail conveyor belts mainly consist of ground-rail trolleys and belt conveyors. The ground-rail trolleys have inertia when starting and braking, which causes the goods to shift. This shift can cause the goods to collide with the frame of the belt conveyor, resulting in damage. If the frame of the belt conveyor is too low, the goods may shift and fall off, resulting in poor stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a ground-rail conveyor belt to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a ground rail conveyor belt, including a ground rail trolley, two slide rails connected to the top of the ground rail trolley, brackets connected to both sides of the top of the ground rail trolley, and a servo electric cylinder installed above one side of each of the two brackets, with a clamping plate connected to the output end of the servo electric cylinder, a clamping pad connected to one side of the clamping plate, and a roller connected to the other side of the bracket.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after loading, the output end of the servo electric cylinder drives the clamping plate to move. The clamping plate is in an N-shape to avoid collision between the clamping plate and the conveyor belt. The slide rail provides auxiliary support for the clamping plate. After the clamping plate moves, the clamping pad presses against the goods, thereby preventing the goods from being moved, impacted, or falling off, improving the stability during the transfer process. The clamping pad increases the friction between the clamping plate and the goods, thereby improving the clamping effect. At the same time, the soft clamping pad can disperse pressure and reduce the occurrence of goods being pinched. Before unloading, the output end of the servo electric cylinder drives the clamping plate to move in the opposite direction, thereby moving the clamping pad away from the goods and avoiding the friction between the clamping pad and the goods, which would cause greater resistance when unloading the goods. During loading and unloading, the rollers prevent the goods from contacting the side of the support and causing wear. The multiple through holes on the side of the clamping plate allow the clamping plate to move into the area between the roller and the support, similarly preventing the goods from contacting the side of the clamping plate and causing wear during loading and unloading.

[0008] Furthermore, a servo motor is installed below one side of the bracket, two conveyor belt rollers are connected between the two brackets, one of the conveyor belt rollers is connected to the output end of the servo motor, and a conveyor belt is connected between the two conveyor belt rollers.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the ground-rail trolley, a type of existing RGV trolley, can move horizontally using a ground rail. The ground rail is laid inside the workshop, connecting equipment to equipment and between equipment and storage areas, enabling the ground-rail trolley to transfer goods. During loading, the belt conveyor and servo motor of the equipment or storage area are started. After the servo motor starts, its output drives the conveyor belt rollers to rotate, thus operating the conveyor belt. The belt conveyor of the equipment or storage area then transports the goods onto the conveyor belt, which in turn transports the goods to the central area at the top of the ground-rail trolley, preventing the goods from being partially suspended on the conveyor belt. During unloading, the belt conveyor and servo motor of the equipment or storage area are started. After the servo motor starts, its output drives the conveyor belt rollers to rotate, thus operating the conveyor belt and transporting the goods onto the belt conveyor of the equipment or storage area. The belt conveyor of the equipment or storage area then delivers the goods into the equipment or storage area.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping plate is in the shape of an "n" and is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamp plate is shaped like an "n" to avoid collision between the clamp plate and the conveyor belt, while the slide rail can provide auxiliary support for the clamp plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping plate has multiple through holes on one side, and the length and height of the through holes are greater than the length and height of the roller.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple through holes on the side of the clamping plate allow the clamping plate to be moved to the area between the roller and the support, thereby avoiding wear caused by the contact between the goods and the side of the clamping plate during loading and unloading.

[0014] Furthermore, there are multiple rollers, which are divided into two groups, and the two groups of rollers are distributed in a mirror image. The multiple rollers in each group are equidistantly distributed.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rollers prevent the goods from contacting the sides of the support and clamps during loading and unloading, thus avoiding wear and tear.

[0016] Furthermore, multiple servo electric cylinders are provided, and the multiple servo electric cylinders are arranged in a mirror image.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after the material is loaded, the output end of the servo electric cylinder drives the clamping plate to move. By increasing the number of servo electric cylinders, it is easier to apply force evenly to each area of ​​the large-sized clamping plate and improve the clamping stability.

[0018] Furthermore, multiple clamping pads are provided, divided into two groups, and the two groups of clamping pads are symmetrically distributed.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping plate moves and the clamping pad presses against the goods, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of goods displacement, impact or falling off, improving the stability during the transfer process. In addition, the setting of the clamping pad increases the friction between the clamping plate and the goods, thereby improving the clamping effect. At the same time, the soft clamping pad can disperse the pressure and reduce the phenomenon of goods being pinched and injured.

[0020] Furthermore, the clamping plate and the clamping pad are provided with a hook and loop surface and a loop surface, and the clamping pad is detachably connected to the clamping plate through the hook and loop surface and the loop surface.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clip is damaged, the staff can peel off the hook and loop side of the hook and loop together from the hook and loop side. Then, the staff can install a new clip with a new hook and loop side on the hook and loop side, which makes it easy to replace the clip.

[0022] Furthermore, the hook side of the hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to the clamping plate by epoxy resin adhesive, and the loop side of the hook and loop fastener is fixedly connected to the clamping pad.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, epoxy resin adhesive is a very common adhesive that makes it easy to stably fix the hook side of the hook and loop fastener to the splice, while the hook and loop fastener surface and the splice pad can be fixed by using epoxy resin adhesive or silicone rubber adhesive.

[0024] Furthermore, the pad is made of silicone rubber and has anti-slip texture on its surface.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, silicone rubber is soft, elastic, and has a large surface friction coefficient. With the addition of anti-slip texture, it can increase the friction between the rubber and the goods, effectively preventing the goods from shifting or falling off, and at the same time effectively dispersing pressure to prevent the goods from being crushed.

[0026] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0027] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a bracket, servo cylinder, clamping plate, and slide rail, allows the clamping plate to move after loading by the output end of the servo cylinder, thus preventing the goods from being displaced, impacted, or falling off, improving the stability during the transfer process. The clamping plate is also n-shaped to avoid collisions between the clamping plate and the conveyor belt, while the slide rail provides auxiliary support for the clamping plate, effectively preventing the goods from colliding or falling off.

[0028] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of clamping plates and rollers, avoids wear caused by the goods coming into contact with the side of the support during loading and unloading. The multiple through holes on the side of the clamping plates allow the clamping plates to be moved to the area between the rollers and the support, similarly avoiding wear caused by the goods coming into contact with the side of the clamping plates during loading and unloading; effectively preventing friction damage to the goods during loading and unloading.

[0029] 3. This utility model improves the clamping effect by setting up a clamping pad, which increases the friction between the clamping plate and the goods. At the same time, the soft clamping pad can distribute the pressure and reduce the occurrence of goods being pinched and damaged, thus improving the clamping stability. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] A ground-rail conveyor belt, as shown in Figures 1-7, includes a ground-rail trolley 1. Two slide rails 8 are connected to the top of the ground-rail trolley 1. Supports 2 are connected to both sides of the top of the ground-rail trolley 1. Servo cylinders 6 are installed above one side of each of the two supports 2. Multiple servo cylinders 6 are arranged in a mirror image. A clamping plate 7, shaped like an "n", is connected to the output end of each servo cylinder 6. The clamping plate 7 is slidably connected to the slide rails 8. Multiple clamping pads 11 are connected to one side of the clamping plate 7, arranged in two groups symmetrically. Rollers 12, also arranged in two groups, are connected to the other side of the supports 2. Multiple rollers 12 are arranged in two groups, mirror image of each other, with each group of rollers 12 evenly spaced. Multiple through holes are formed on one side of the clamping plate 7, the length and height of which are greater than the length and height of the rollers 12. After loading, the output end of the servo cylinders 6 drives the clamping plate 7 to move, causing the clamping plate 7 to sag into an "n" shape. The U-shaped design prevents the clamping plate 7 from colliding with the conveyor belt 5, while the slide rail 8 provides auxiliary support for the clamping plate 7. After the clamping plate 7 is displaced, the clamping pad 11 presses against the goods, thus preventing the goods from shifting, colliding, or falling off, improving the stability during the transfer process. The clamping pad 11 also increases the friction between the clamping plate 7 and the goods, thereby improving the clamping effect. At the same time, the softness of the clamping pad 11 can disperse pressure and reduce the occurrence of goods being pinched. Before unloading, the output end of the servo cylinder 6 drives the clamping plate 7 to move in the opposite direction, thereby moving the clamping pad 11 away from the goods and avoiding the friction between the clamping pad 11 and the goods, which would cause greater resistance when unloading the goods. During loading and unloading, the roller 12 prevents the goods from contacting the side of the support 2 and causing wear. The multiple through holes on the side of the clamping plate 7 allow the clamping plate 7 to move into the area between the roller 12 and the support 2, similarly preventing the goods from contacting the side of the clamping plate 7 and causing wear during loading and unloading.

[0042] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in the above embodiment, a servo motor 3 is installed below one side of the support 2. Two conveyor belt rollers 4 are connected between the two supports 2. One conveyor belt roller 4 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 3. A conveyor belt 5 is connected between the two conveyor belt rollers 4. The ground rail trolley 1 is a prior art RGV trolley, which can move horizontally by relying on the ground rail. The ground rail is laid inside the workshop to connect equipment and between equipment and storage, enabling the ground rail trolley 1 to realize the transfer of goods. When loading, the belt conveyor of the equipment or storage and the servo motor 3 are started. After the servo motor 3 is started, it outputs... The end drive conveyor belt roller 4 rotates, thereby operating the conveyor belt 5. After the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse starts, it transports the goods onto the conveyor belt 5. The conveyor belt 5 then transports the goods to the central area at the top of the ground rail trolley 1, preventing the goods from being partially suspended on the conveyor belt. When unloading, the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse and the servo motor 3 start. After the servo motor 3 starts, its output end drives the conveyor belt roller 4 to rotate, thereby operating the conveyor belt 5 and transporting the goods onto the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse. After the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse starts, it sends the goods into the equipment or warehouse.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Based on the above embodiment 1, the following settings are made to facilitate the replacement of the damaged pad 11.

[0045] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, in the above embodiment, a hook and loop fastener 9 and a loop fastener 10 are provided between the clamping plate 7 and the clamping pad 11. The clamping pad 11 is detachably connected to the clamping plate 7 through the hook and loop fastener 9 and the loop fastener 10. When the clamping pad 11 is damaged, the worker can peel off the loop fastener 10 and the clamping pad 11 together from the hook and loop fastener 9. Then, the worker will install a new clamping pad 11 with a new loop fastener 10 on the hook and loop fastener 9, which facilitates the replacement of the clamping pad 11. The hook and loop fastener 9 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 7 by epoxy resin adhesive, and the loop fastener 10 is fixedly connected to the clamping pad 11. Epoxy resin adhesive is a very common adhesive, which makes it easy to stably fix the hook and loop fastener 9 to the clamping plate 7. The loop fastener 10 and the clamping pad 11 can be fixed by using epoxy resin adhesive or silicone rubber adhesive.

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] Based on the above embodiment 1, the following settings are made to improve the performance of the clamping pad 11.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, in the above embodiments, the pad 11 is made of silicone rubber material. The surface of the pad 11 is provided with anti-slip texture. Silicone rubber is soft and elastic with a large surface friction coefficient. The anti-slip texture can increase the friction between the pad and the goods, effectively preventing the goods from shifting and falling off. At the same time, it can effectively disperse pressure to prevent the goods from being crushed.

[0049] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the ground rail trolley 1 is an existing RGV trolley that can move horizontally by relying on the ground rail. The ground rail is laid inside the workshop to connect equipment between equipment and between equipment and warehouse, so that the ground rail trolley 1 can realize the transfer of goods.

[0050] When loading materials, the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse and the servo motor 3 are started. After the servo motor 3 is started, the output end drives the conveyor belt roller 4 to rotate, thereby making the conveyor belt 5 operate. After the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse is started, it transports the goods onto the conveyor belt 5. The conveyor belt 5 transports the goods to the central area on the top of the ground rail trolley 1, avoiding the phenomenon that the goods are partially on the conveyor belt and partially suspended in the air.

[0051] After loading, the output of the servo cylinder 6 drives the clamping plate 7 to move. The clamping plate 7 is in an n-shape to avoid collision between the clamping plate 7 and the conveyor belt 5. The slide rail 8 provides auxiliary support for the clamping plate 7. After the clamping plate 7 moves, the clamping pad 11 presses against the goods, thereby preventing the goods from moving, colliding, or falling off, improving the stability during the transfer process. The clamping pad 11 also increases the friction between the clamping plate 7 and the goods, thereby improving the clamping effect. At the same time, the softness of the clamping pad 11 can disperse the pressure and reduce the occurrence of goods being pinched. Before unloading, the output of the servo cylinder 6 drives the clamping plate 7 to move in the opposite direction, thereby moving the clamping pad 11 away from the goods and avoiding the friction between the clamping pad 11 and the goods, which would cause greater resistance when the goods are unloaded.

[0052] When unloading, the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse and the servo motor 3 are started. After the servo motor 3 is started, the output end drives the conveyor belt roller 4 to rotate, thereby making the conveyor belt 5 operate and transporting the goods to the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse. After the belt conveyor of the equipment or warehouse is started, the goods are sent into the equipment or warehouse.

[0053] During loading and unloading, the roller 12 prevents the goods from contacting the side of the support 2 and causing wear. The multiple through holes on the side of the clamp 7 allow the clamp 7 to be moved to the area between the roller 12 and the support 2, which also prevents the goods from contacting the side of the clamp 7 and causing wear during loading and unloading.

[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
