Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of controller technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable intelligent controller and a vehicle transfer system. Background Technology

[0002] Cross-cart conveyor systems are mainly used for transporting materials across workshops or regions in industrial production. They are widely used in metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and other fields. Cross-cart conveyor systems usually require a controller to achieve precise control of the car's movement, start-stop, positioning, and other actions to ensure the efficiency and safety of material transportation. When using the intelligent controller, in order to facilitate the adjustment of various equipment parameters and transportation status by personnel, a rotating structure is usually set up to adjust the direction of the intelligent controller, so that personnel can intuitively observe the operating status and conditions of each piece of equipment when operating the intelligent controller.

[0003] Existing intelligent controllers typically employ either a motor lead screw rotation mechanism or a rotating base plus a fixing component rotation mechanism. The motor lead screw rotation mechanism consumes power and is complex; if it malfunctions, the intelligent controller's direction cannot be adjusted. The rotating base plus fixing component rotation mechanism requires removing the fixing component first, then rotating the intelligent controller via the rotating base. Once the controller's direction is adjusted, it needs to be re-fixed via the fixing component, making the operation cumbersome and inconvenient. Therefore, we propose an adjustable intelligent controller and a vehicle-crossing transmission system. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide an adjustable intelligent controller to solve the technical problem that the steering adjustment of the current intelligent controller is not stable and fast enough.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable intelligent controller and a vehicle transfer system, including a base, a steering structure arranged on the top of the base, a controller body arranged on the steering structure, the steering structure including a mounting tube, a sleeve, a first spring and a mounting rod, the sleeve being sleeved on the mounting tube, the first spring being located at the top of the sleeve and its bottom being connected to the top of the mounting tube, the mounting rod being arranged at the center of the top of the sleeve and extending into the mounting tube, and a gear positioning structure being arranged inside the mounting tube at the bottom end of the mounting rod;

[0006] The mounting tube contains a rotating structure located below the gear positioning structure.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting rod is arranged around the bottom of the sleeve, a collar is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod, the collar is fitted onto the mounting tube, and a foot pedal is rotatably arranged on the collar.

[0008] Preferably, a second ball bearing is rolled on the inner wall of the sleeve, and a third ball bearing is rolled on the inner wall of the collar.

[0009] Preferably, the gear positioning structure includes a mounting sleeve and a first gear, the first gear being arranged at the bottom end of the mounting rod, the mounting sleeve being arranged inside the mounting tube, the inner hole of the mounting sleeve being a first tooth groove, and the first tooth groove matching the first gear.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating structure includes a mounting base, a rotating base, and a second gear. The mounting base is arranged inside a mounting tube, and the rotating base is movably arranged inside the mounting base. The inner wall of the mounting base is provided with a spiral groove. Several sets of equidistant fourth balls are arranged in a circumference of the rotating base, and the fourth balls are located in the spiral groove. A second spring is arranged inside the mounting base, and the top end of the second spring is connected to the bottom of the rotating base. A second tooth groove is arranged on the top of the rotating base. The second gear is arranged at the bottom of the first gear, and the second gear matches the second tooth groove.

[0011] Preferably, the second spring and the first spring are provided with a ring at their top, and a number of sets of equidistant first balls are rolled around the top of the ring. The top of the sleeve and the bottom of the rotating seat are provided with mating grooves corresponding to the first balls.

[0012] Preferably, the first tooth groove, the first gear, the second tooth groove, and the second gear are all tapered designs, with the larger end of the first tooth groove and the first gear facing down and the smaller end facing up, and the larger end of the second tooth groove and the second gear facing up and the smaller end facing down.

[0013] A cross-vehicle transport system includes the aforementioned adjustable intelligent controller.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model comprises a steering structure consisting of an installation tube, a sleeve, a first spring, an installation rod, and a gear positioning structure. Therefore, when adjusting the steering of the controller body, the operator can pull down the sleeve by pressing the pedal. The first gear at the bottom of the installation rod will then disengage from the first tooth groove of the installation sleeve. The operator can then directly hold the controller body and rotate it to adjust its direction. After adjustment, releasing the pedal allows the first spring to reset the sleeve and other structures. The first gear at the bottom of the installation rod will then re-engage into the first tooth groove, thus fixing the installation rod, which in turn fixes the sleeve and the controller body. This allows for more convenient and stable steering adjustment of the controller body, reducing the likelihood of malfunctions and solving the current technical problem of unstable and slow steering adjustment in intelligent controllers. Therefore, this utility model offers the advantages of stable and convenient steering adjustment of the controller body.

[0016] 2. This utility model also incorporates a rotating structure. When a person steps on the pedal, the first gear at the bottom of the mounting rod disengages from the first tooth groove of the mounting sleeve. Continuing to step down causes the second gear at the bottom of the first gear to insert into the second tooth groove of the rotating seat. As pressure is applied to the rotating seat, the spiral groove on the inner wall of the mounting seat and the fourth rolling ball on the rotating seat work together to rotate the rotating seat within the mounting seat, thereby driving the second gear to rotate. The second gear then drives the first gear, the mounting rod, and the sleeve to rotate automatically. The sleeve then drives the controller body to rotate automatically, thus achieving automatic rotation of the controller body without manual operation, further improving the convenience of adjusting the controller body's direction.

[0017] 3. In this utility model, the first gear, the first tooth groove, the second tooth groove, and the second gear all adopt a conical design. When the conical first gear and the conical first tooth groove are fitted together, and when the conical second tooth groove and the conical second gear are fitted together, they are gradually contacted and connected through the edges. This method allows the first gear and the first tooth groove, the second tooth groove, and the second gear to be fitted together quickly in any direction, avoiding the phenomenon of jamming and failure to fit together. This effectively ensures that the first gear and the first tooth groove cooperate to achieve the effect of positioning and fixing, and that the second tooth groove and the second gear cooperate to achieve the effect of stable rotation and transmission.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model relates to an adjustable intelligent controller, including a base 1, a steering structure 2 arranged on the top of the base 1, and a controller body 3 arranged on the steering structure 2. The steering structure 2 includes a mounting tube 4, a sleeve 5, a first spring 6, and a mounting rod 7. The sleeve 5 is fitted onto the mounting tube 4, the first spring 6 is located at the top of the sleeve 5, and the bottom of the first spring 6 is connected to the top of the mounting tube 4. The mounting rod 7 is arranged at the center of the top of the sleeve 5 and extends into the mounting tube 4. A gear positioning structure 8 is arranged inside the mounting tube 4 at the bottom end of the mounting rod 7; the bottom of the sleeve 5... A connecting rod 501 is arranged around the perimeter of the mounting tube 4, and a collar 502 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 501. The collar 502 is fitted onto the mounting tube 4, and a foot pedal 503 is rotatably arranged on the collar 502. A second ball bearing 13 is rolled on the inner wall of the sleeve 5, and a third ball bearing 14 is rolled on the inner wall of the collar 502. The gear positioning structure 8 includes a mounting sleeve 801 and a first gear 803. The first gear 803 is arranged at the bottom end of the mounting rod 7, and the mounting sleeve 801 is arranged inside the mounting tube 4. The inner hole of the mounting sleeve 801 is a first tooth groove 802, which matches the first gear 803.

[0028] When adjusting the steering of the controller body 3, the operator can pull down the sleeve 5 by stepping on the pedal 503. Then, the first gear 803 at the bottom of the mounting rod 7 will disengage from the first tooth groove 802 of the mounting sleeve 801. At this time, the operator can directly hold the controller body 3 and rotate it to adjust the direction of the controller body 3. After the adjustment is completed, the operator releases the pedal 503. Under the reset of the first spring 6, the sleeve 5 and other structures are reset. At this time, the first gear 803 at the bottom of the mounting rod 7 will re-engage into the first tooth groove 802, thus fixing the mounting rod 7, that is, fixing the sleeve 5 and the controller body 3. This makes it easier to adjust and fix the steering of the controller body 3 and reduces the likelihood of malfunctions.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, a rotating structure 9 is arranged inside the mounting tube 4 below the gear positioning structure 8. The rotating structure 9 includes a mounting base 901, a rotating base 904, and a second gear 907. The mounting base 901 is arranged inside the mounting tube 4, and the rotating base 904 is movably arranged inside the mounting base 901. A spiral groove 903 is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting base 901. Several sets of equidistant fourth balls 905 are arranged around the rotating base 904, and the fourth balls 905 are located in the spiral groove 903. A second spring 902 is arranged inside the mounting base 901, and the top end of the second spring 902 is connected to the bottom of the rotating base 904. A second tooth groove 906 is arranged on the top of the rotating base 904. The second gear 907 is arranged at the bottom of the first gear 803, and the second gear 907 matches the second tooth groove 906.

[0030] When a person steps on pedal 503, the first gear 803 at the bottom of mounting rod 7 disengages from the first tooth groove 802 of mounting sleeve 801. Continuing to step on the pedal causes the second gear 907 at the bottom of the first gear 803 to insert into the second tooth groove 906 of rotating seat 904. As pressure is applied to rotating seat 904, the spiral groove 903 on the inner wall of mounting seat 901 and the fourth ball bearing 905 rolling on rotating seat 904 work together to rotate rotating seat 904 within mounting seat 901. This causes the second gear 907 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 803, mounting rod 7, and sleeve 5 to rotate automatically. The sleeve 5 then drives the controller body 3 to rotate automatically, thus achieving automatic rotation of the controller body 3 without manual operation, further improving the convenience of adjusting the steering of the controller body 3.

[0031] Specifically, the second spring 902 and the first spring 6 are provided with a ring 10 at their tops. Several sets of equidistant first balls 11 are rolled around the top of the ring 10. The top of the sleeve 5 and the bottom of the rotating seat 904 are provided with mating grooves 12 corresponding to the first balls 11. The first balls 11 of the ring 10 on the first spring 6 make rolling contact with the mating grooves 12 of the sleeve 5, which can reduce friction and facilitate smoother rotation of the sleeve 5. The first balls 11 of the ring 10 on the second spring 902 make rolling contact with the mating grooves 12 of the rotating seat 904, which can reduce friction and facilitate smoother rotation of the rotating seat 904.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model, the first tooth groove 802, the first gear 803, the second tooth groove 906, and the second gear 907 are all tapered designs. The larger end of the first tooth groove 802 and the first gear 803 faces down, and the smaller end faces up. The larger end of the second tooth groove 906 and the second gear 907 faces up, and the smaller end faces down.

[0033] When the conical first gear 803 engages with the conical first tooth groove 802, and when the conical second tooth groove 906 engages with the conical second gear 907, they gradually come into contact and connect through the edges. This method allows the first gear 803 and the first tooth groove 802, the second tooth groove 906 and the second gear 907 to engage quickly in any direction, avoiding the phenomenon of jamming and inability to engage. This effectively ensures that the first gear 803 and the first tooth groove 802 cooperate to achieve the effect of positioning and fixing, and that the second tooth groove 906 and the second gear 907 cooperate to achieve the effect of stable rotation and transmission.

[0034] Working principle: This embodiment provides an adjustable intelligent controller and a vehicle transfer system. First, when adjusting the steering of the controller body 3, the operator can pull down the sleeve 5 by stepping on the pedal 503. Then, the first gear 803 at the bottom of the mounting rod 7 will disengage from the first tooth groove 802 of the mounting sleeve 801. At this time, the operator can directly hold the controller body 3 and rotate it to adjust the direction of the controller body 3. After the adjustment is completed, the operator releases the pedal 503. Under the reset of the first spring 6, the sleeve 5 and other structures are reset. At this time, the first gear 803 at the bottom of the mounting rod 7 will re-engage into the first tooth groove 802, thus fixing the mounting rod 7, that is, fixing the sleeve 5 and the controller body 3. This makes it easier to fix the steering of the controller body 3 and reduces the likelihood of failure.

[0035] Secondly, when a person steps on pedal 503, the first gear 803 at the bottom of the mounting rod 7 will disengage from the first tooth groove 802 of the mounting sleeve 801. If the person continues to step on the pedal, the second gear 907 at the bottom of the first gear 803 will insert into the second tooth groove 906 of the rotating seat 904. Then, as pressure is applied to the rotating seat 904, the fourth ball bearing 905, which is rolled on the inner wall of the mounting seat 901, will rotate within the mounting seat 901, thereby driving the second gear 907 to rotate. The second gear 907 then drives the first gear 803, the mounting rod 7, and the sleeve 5 to rotate automatically. The sleeve 5 then drives the controller body 3 to rotate automatically, thus achieving the effect of automatic rotation of the controller body 3 without the need for manual rotation, further improving the convenience of adjusting the steering of the controller body 3.

[0036] Finally, when the conical first gear 803 engages with the conical first tooth groove 802, and when the conical second tooth groove 906 engages with the conical second gear 907, they are all gradually contacted and connected through the edges. This method allows the first gear 803 and the first tooth groove 802, the second tooth groove 906 and the second gear 907 to quickly engage in any direction, avoiding the phenomenon of jamming and inability to engage. This effectively ensures that the first gear 803 and the first tooth groove 802 cooperate to achieve the effect of positioning and fixing, and that the second tooth groove 906 and the second gear 907 cooperate to achieve the effect of stable rotation transmission.

[0037] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
